Summary
"Shu comes across the members of Gyroaxia. He takes interest in Nayuta who is heading off somewhere and decides to secretly follow him."

Shu: (That guy over thereー)

Miyuki: ...It's still so early in the afternoon? Isn't it weird for us to finish rehearsal this quickly?

Ryo: It's because Nayuta has an errand to run today.

Reon: An errand? Nayuta?

Miyuki: Oh? Now that is strange

Nayuta: What I do in my own time is none of your business.

Reon: What're you saying...!?

Miyuki: ...Ah, he's gone.

Has he told you anything, Kenta? About his errand, that is.

Kenta: Oh. Not particularly

Shu: (Hmm...? Not even his band members know what he's doing?

Where on earth could Mr. Vocalist be off too?

Fufu, I guess I could kill a little more time.)

Well then, time to play detective.

ーLaterー

Ren: Hmm...did I get everything I was asked to...?

(...~♪ ~♪)

Ren: Ah, it's from Banri.

Hello, Banri?

Banri: Ah, I'm glad you picked up, Ren-kun!

You know the supermarket opposite the train station?

They're selling ketchup and eggs for an absolute bargain but the sale is only limited to one per person!

I'm gonna head over there but you should stop by too, Ren-kun!

Ren: O-Okay.

Banri: Thanks, Ren-kun. Mega sales like this are a battle field.

We'll use our spoils of war to make a lavish omurice for tonight's dinner!

Ren: Right...I'll try my best.

Banri: Great. Right then, I'm counting on you!

Ren: I'm looking forward to the omurice... if it's on sale then I shouldn't waste any time.

Hmm, the shortcut to the train station isー

...Ah.

Nayuta: ...

Ren: (Nayuta-kunー)

Shu: ...

Ren: (ーand Shu-kun?

Are they out together...? No, it doesn't seem like it. I wonder what they're doing...?)

Shu-kun, hello.

Shu: !

...Well if it isn't the onii-san from Argonavis.

I hope ya weren't tryna sneak up on me... I'm in the middle of somethin' good right now.

Ren: ...Something good?

Summary
"It's been a few days since the live. While visiting the music shop, Misaki hears some familiar drumming. It turns out to be Banri."

ーA few days after the school festival liveー

Misaki: Alrighty, the drum corner...hm?

Misaki: I feel like...I've heard this drumming before.

Banri: Yeah, this one feels good to hit! Maybe I buy a new snare...

Misaki: ...So it's you, Shiroishi.

Banri: Huh, Misaki-kun? What're you doing here?

Misaki: I thought I'd come and check out the drums. The head on my snare's gotten all crappy.

Banri: Did you go a little overboard at the school festival live by chance?

Misaki: ...Maybe.

Banri: Ahaha! Then I guess we're in the same boat! That live was a blast!

Misaki: Yeah...for sure. Wasn't it just the best?

Banri: The encore was fun too! Both our bands got to stand on stage together.

Banri: I enjoyed the drumming session too!

Misaki: The executive committee guys got mad at me for going over time.

Banri: Ahaha, that so? If you had told me I would've come to get scolded with you.

Misaki: It's fine, don't worry about it... besides, I owe you one.

Banri: Oh? Did I do you a favor?

Misaki: You listened to Aoi. When Furai was in danger of being cancelled...you said Argona would step down too.

Banri: Ahh, that...

Misaki: Since you showed such chivalry, there's no way I can't pay it back!

Banri: You owe me that much? ...Hmm. It's fine, you've already returned the favor.

Misaki: Ah?

Banri: You've shown me chivalry too. Wasn't it just the coolest when you bowed to the staff?

Misaki: Eh...but, that kind of thing isn't chivalry!

Banri: Really? I don't think it's easy to bow your head in that kind of situation.

Misaki: If you've messed up, any idiot knows you've gotta apologise!

Banri: Fufu... y'know, you might look like a delinquent but really you were raised quite well, right?

Misaki: No...it ain't like that! I've been a hardcore gangster since day one...

Banri: Okay okay. Whatever you say.

Misaki: Anyway! My debt to you can't be repaid by a bit of scolding!

Misaki: That's why... we're gonna go grab a bite!!

Banri: ...Ha?

Misaki: I'm gonna treat you to a meal! There's a shop nearby that makes some hella good turkey rice!

Banri: ...What's turkey rice?

Misaki: You don't know!? Are you insane!? Shut the hell up and come with me! You won't believe how good this shit is!!

Banri: Of course I'll come with you! I'm a lover of free food after all!

Summary
"While the committee continues to negotiate with the school, Aoi and Banri wait outside to see the progress. However, Misaki shows up late..."

Location: Kamogawa University

Aoi: Hah... what do I do...

Banri: Well, let's just see what happens. The committee members said they'd try to negotiate with the school.

Aoi: But...if Furai really does get cancelled... I still hope Argona goes on stage.

Banri: What did I say earlier? If that happens then we're notー

Aoi: Stop that! It's Furai's problem but Argona won't perform either? I can't understand that!

Aoi: If it ends up like that...then that's even more painful!

Banri: So stubborn... do you think we'd even be able to have fun if Furai gets cast aside like this?

Banri: How could we? I'm sure that's what the other guys would sayー

Aoi: I'm having trouble figuring out which of us is more stubborn! "Perform!" "Step down!"

Banri: You're the persistent one! I hate it! We're not performing!

Misaki: ...Oi oi, why're you two squabbling in the street when we're supposed to be havin' a meeting inside?

Aoi: Misaki...

Misaki: You're on the verge of tears too... Oi... what's going on, Shiroishi?

Banri: Don't give me such a scary look, this isn't my fault, okay? The truth isー

(Banri explains to Misaki)

Misaki: Furai's been cut from the school festival live...

Banri: We still haven't found a resolution. The executive committee are negotiating it now.

Aoi: I'm sorry, Misaki...it wasn't meant to be like this...

Misaki: Why're you apologising! You have nothing to be sorry for, Aoi!

Misaki: I should be apologising...I'm the one always causing trouble...

Banri: It doesn't matter whose fault it is. It's just a false accusation, right? More importantly, what do we do now...

Misaki: ...Hey, is that the room the executive committee is talking to the school in?

Aoi: Yes but... why do you ask?

Misaki: I know what to do. Alright, here I go!

(Misaki leaves)

Aoi: Eh...? Wait!!

Location: Office

Misaki: Excuse me! I'm Fujin Rizing's Misaki Goto!!

School staff: W-What're you doing?

Misaki: For my misconduct in the past and the unease I've caused you all to harbor, I'm truly sorry!

Misaki: Before anything else, I apologise. However...please allow me to properly explain the situation!

Aoi: Misaki...

Banri: (Huh...Misaki-kun, you know how to earnestly bow your head... yes!)

Banri: I beg of you too! Please listen to what he has to say!

Aoi: Ah...please give him a chance! Let him properly explain the situation!

School staff: ...Very well. I'll hear you out.

Summary
"Aoi and Banri visit the university to check out the venue for the live. However the members of the executive committee make an appearence and give them some upsetting information."

Location: Kamogawa University

Aoi: Thanks for coming by, Shiroishi-kun.

Banri: Good to see you, Aoi-kun! Did you come by yourself to check out the live venue?

Aoi: Yeah. The other guys are out running errands but Misaki might come by later .

Aoi: You're alone too?

Banri: Yep. Today I've gotta sort out the costs of things like equipment. I'm in charge of taking care of that type of stuff.

Aoi: Haha. Shiroishi-kun, you seem quite reliable.

Banri: We'll never have enough money if I don't keep a tight hold on the band's wallet!

Aoi: Yeah, I understand... in our case, the members keep blowing our savings on cheap candy, udon and rice...

Banri: Ahaha, that's terrible!

Executive A: Ah, Shiroishi-san, Wakakusa-san.

Aoi: Oh, the executive committee... I thought we weren't meeting until later?

Executive B: Excuse us, we urgently need to speak with a member of Furai... could we have a moment of your time before you inspect the venue?

Aoi: Sure...

Banri: This doesn't seem good...mind if I come with you? I'm not an outsider, am I?

Executive A: ...As you wish. Come along.

Location: Diner

Banri: Eh...

Banri: Furai's performance has been cancelled, huh...what for?

Executive A: Well...the school saw the rumors online...

Executive B: We simply cannot invite a violent band to a school festival...

Aoi: T-That's...

Banri: I've seen those rumors too but... they're not true, are they?

Aoi: They're not! It's just...when we were in Nagasaki, we got into a bit of a disagreement with a band we were performing with...

Aoi: No one laid a hand on each other! That I can assure you!

Executive A: The school said that even if it's just a rumor, they can't just sweep it under the rug...

Aoi: ( What do I do... if we get cancelled then all our hard work will be for nothing)

Aoi: (This'll be more trouble for Argonavis too...!)

Executive B: This means...Argonavis will be the only ones to perform this time...

Banri: No, if Furai isn't performing then neither are we.

Aoi: Eh!? Wait a second, Shiroishi-kun! This has nothing to do with Argonavis!?

Banri: It has everything to do with us. We were going to have a battle of the bands after all.

Banri: Besides, I know Furai isn't a band like what the rumors say...no, I'm sure of it.

Aoi: ...How?

Banri: Isn't it like you said earlier, Aoi-kun? "No one laid a hand on each other!"

Banri: I believe in that.

Summary
"In preparation for the live at the school festival, Argonavis and Fujin Rizing hold a joint practice. Practice seems to be going well but..."

Location: Practice Studio

Futa: You're just as good at singing as I expected, Ren! How do you even sing like that!? How do I do it like you?!

Ren: You don't need to sing like me! I think Futa-kun's voice is full of energy, it's really good.

Yamato: I'll only ask you one more time. Please show me how you move your fingers.

Yuto: Um, sure but...isn't this just becoming a guitar lesson?

Aoi: Kikyo-kun really is amazing... so much feeling comes from your keyboard!

Rio: I am a genius after all.

Wataru: Seems like this joint practice is helping everyone get along. Kohei-san.

Kohei: I feel a little guilty about asking you for help...

Wataru: Don't be like that. I'm learning the pace from you after all, Kohei-san.

Kohei: It's good that were both learning from each other. But...I'm worried about those guys over there.

Wataru: ...Agreed.

Misaki: You see! Follow my sound here! We won't get in any practice otherwise!

Banri: Aren't drumming sessions all about clashing sounds together? It's no fun if it's just about waiting your turn!

Misaki: You bastard... you have the nerve to try and act mature when really you've got a mouth that just won't stop asking for a fight!

Banri: Haha, you have a face that's asking for a fight!

Kohei: ...Are those two okay?

Wataru: I doubt they'll turn it into a real fight but...

Location: Shopping district

Misaki: Holy crap, how selfish can you be...

Aoi: You seem angry. Your practice with Shiroishi-kun didn't go well, did it?

Misaki: That guy treats drumming like it's just a game! We didn't get any practice done!

Aoi: Haha, you seem to like that kind of thing, Misaki. Aren't you the type to gladly bite the bait when someone's offering a fight?

Misaki: I don't bite no bait! ...Well, maybe there was one time...

Misaki: I can't keep acting like that, I'll only trouble you guys...

Aoi: ...Are you worried about the rumors online, by chance?

Misaki: ...Well it's a fact that we've been having disagreements with those guys we're meant to perform with.

Misaki: We don't need anymore rumors, we shouldn't add onto what's already going around.

Aoi: Oh...

Misaki: What...?

Aoi: You've grown up before I even realized it, Misaki.

Misaki: Don't talk me like you're my grandpa!

Misaki: I'll get along with Shiroishi! ...We can't let the school festival live fail after all.

Aoi: ...Yeah, that's right!

Summary
" Fujin Rizing is hard at work after being asked to perform at a school festival, however the executive committee realizes their mistake and an unforeseen situation comes to light..."

Location: Practice Studio

Misaki: Alright! That was great! Ain't the setlist this time just the best?

Futa: Aoi decided on the setlist so of course it's the best! This is gonna be a hit at our upcoming school festival live!

Aoi: Since it's a school festival, I went for something that would grab everyone's attention. That's why I decided to put a major cover song in.

Yamato: I want to make sure I have this drilled into my brain. Could we go through it once more from the top?

Misaki: Heh, I like where your heads at, Yamato! Alright, let's do this!

(Bzz! Bzz!)

Misaki: Huh, what with this phone's timing!?

Kohei: Sorry...it's from the executive committee of the school festival. We weren't supposed to have a meeting today but...

Kohei: Hello, this is Hayasaka. How can I help you?

Kohei: ...Eh!?

Location: Diner

Yuto: So you're saying there's been a double booking?

Executive A: We're truly sorry! The two of us are both in charge of sending out offers however it seems there's been some miscommunication...

Executive B: Didn't we agree we were gonna ask Argonavis in the first place? You're the one at fault here...

Executive A: Hah, what did you say!? After watching their starting live you said we should go with Fujin Rizing...

Misaki: Quit fighting you two! This isn't the time for that crap!

Executive A & B: Of course, our apologies...

Kohei: Now then, what should we do about this...is there a way to increase the amount of bands performing?

Executive B: We have other programs so...I'm afraid we can't add anymore performances...

Banri: So there's only one spot and two bands huh... well if this is how it is then we've got no choice!

Misaki: Oi, you wanna make a bet to see who wins the spot!?

Banri: Don't make such a big deal of it! If we perform together as a battle of the bands sort of thing then we'll be able to keep to the time limit.

Banri: On top of that, it'll be good publicity for when both of our bands perform at LRFes.

Yuto: I see, great idea, Banri! Let's go with that! What you say, Furai?

Kohei: Sounds good, I've got not problem with it. What're your thoughts, Misaki?

Misaki: I guess...it's fine but...

Banri: You got an issue with something?

Misaki: No, it's just... we put a lot of work into practicing our setlist... and now we won't get to perform it.

Executive A: We're very sorry about that...but, we'd be extremely grateful if you were to perform in a battle of the bands!

Misaki: Okay, quit the apologising! I was just putting my thoughts out there. Let's do this band battle thing.

Kohei: Alright. Well, we should start working on it. Before anything, we should get our bands together to discuss this.

Yuto: If that's the case then why don't we meet up for a joint practice session?

Banri: That's a great idea! It'll bring down the studio fees too!

Misaki: Is that all you care about!?
