Felix: Everyone, I thank you dearly for watching us! Please support our respective bands, Fujin Rizing and Fantôme Iris!

Yamato: Phew...

Felix: Did you enjoy yourself, Yamato? I'd like to hear your thoughts on your first street performance. 

Yamato: ...It was amazing.

There were moments where the audience got really into it but there were also moments where they listened quietlyー


There were also times when the guitar got the chance to stand out...it was incredible until the very last second.

Felix: It seems you've developed a wonderful understanding. I'm overjoyed for you!

Now then, your lesson ends here. It seems that someone has come to pay you a visit. 

Yamato: ...Eh?

Futa: Yamatooo!!

Yamato: Futa?

Felix: You must be the vocalist of Furai. Good evening to you.

Futa: Eh? Ah, h-hello! I'm Fujin Rizing's Kaminoshima Futa!

Yamato: ...How long have you been watching us?

Futa: Since about halfway through... I didn't think I should interrupt you...

Felix: Ah, how disappointing. We could have reached new levels of excitement if you had sung with us.

Futa: I-I could never do that! I definitely would of ruined the mood if I had jumped in!

Felix: Is that so? I think I'd rather enjoy singing alongside you. I'm certain the opportunity will rise again one day.

Now then, allow me to excuse myself. Tomoru will be out looking for me if I don't return soon.

Yamato: ...Um...thank you for today!

Felix: Of course, may the next time we meet be on stage!

(Felix leaves)

Futa: ...Hey, Yamato?

Yamato: Yeah?

Futa: Are you...leaving Furai?

Yamato: ...Huh?

Futa: Are you quitting Furai to go solo!? Don't tell me...you're forming a unit with Felix-san!?

Yamato: What are you talking about?

Futa: It's just...there was so much energy in that performance, you looked like you were having a ton of fun...

Lately, you've been leaving to busk every single day...I haven't been able to stop worrying!!

What's going on!? You're really quitting, aren't you?! Iー I don't want anyone's guitar but yours!

Yamato: ...I'm surprised...I didn't think you'd come up with something like that.

Futa: It's been on my mind all week!

Yamato: ...Until Felix-san's unexpected arrival, I'd been doing this alone, but I haven't been able to stop thinking either.

Futa: ...Eh?

Yamato: I've been thinking about what it would be like if Misaki's drums, Kohei-san's bass, Aoi's trombone and your sax and vocals were here with me. 

Futa: Yamato...

Yamato: I don't want anyone else's voice but yours either. I don't want to do it unless it's with all of us. I only want to move forward if it's with you guys. 

Futa: Yamato...

Yamato: I haven't been thinking of quitting Furai. I've never even considered it. 

Futa: YAMATOOO!!

Yamato: ...Why did you hug me?

Futa: There was nothing to worry about! Thank goodness! I'm so so glad!

Yamato: ...Hey, Futa.

Futa: What's up?

Yamato: While I was busking...I came up with a melody. Can we all get together and work on it?

Futa: Of course!!

Yamato: (I think I'm getting better now...but people still aren't stopping to listen though.)

(But that doesn't bother me. My idol practiced like this too. If I follow his example...I'm certain I'll improve.)

(Even if no one is listening...wait, what? That man over there is watching me...)

...?

???: Ah, so it really is one of the children from Fujin Rizing.

Yamato: You...you're the vocalist for Fantôme...

Felix: Indeed, I am Felix of Fantôme Iris. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. 

Yamato: ...Same to you. I'm Tsubaki Yamato from Furai. 

Felix: I was out for a stroll when my ears were met with the sound of a familiar guitar. That's how I happened upon you. 

Out of curiosity, what is it that you're doing here? To me it seems as if you're simply playing your guitar. 

Yamato: This is warrior training.

Felix: Warrior training? Don't samurai undergo such a thing?

Yamato: I messed up real bad during our last live...so I need to get a lot better at playing the guitar.

I'm doing street performances as part of my warrior training.

Felix: I see. Such a stoic attitude certainly feels akin to a samurai!

Even so...I feel as if you're mistaken.

Yamato: Mistaken?

Felix: I've been watching you from afar for a while and all I've seen you do is mere practice. This is far from a street performance. 

Would it not be more beneficial to practice alongside your colleagues in a studio?

Yamato: ...But, the guitarist I admire uses busking to practice when he messes up during a live. 

So I'm doing the same.

Felix: I see...it's quite apparent that you've misunderstood!

Yamato: Huh?

Felix: The street is one of the easiest yet most strenuous stages to perform on.

Anyone can stand up to the challenge but not everyone can captivate an audience. 

To draw in a stranger and convince them to listen to your melodies is a troublesome task. 

Yamato: I'm fine with no one listening to me...

Felix: That won't do, Yamato. You're on the street for the sake of performing. Further more, the people walking by have no choice but to hear the noise you're making.

Did such a thing cross your mind?

Yamato: ...

Felix: Perhaps...the guitarist you admire began performing on the street to undergo such an experience?

Yamato: ...What do you mean?

Felix: The experience of delivering sweet melodies to those unbeknownst to you, rather than the guests who come to support you at live houses. 

Perhaps that is what his "warrior training" was. 

Yamato: ...Yeah.

Felix: Lovely, it appears you understand! Now then...let's get to it!

Yamato: ...Huh? What...do you mean?

Felix: The street performance of course!

ーMeanwhileー

Futa: (Yamato...where are you...?)

Woman on the street:
Hey, have you heard!?  There's a really cool live going on over there!

It's a duo between a guitarist who looks to be in university and really incredible vocalist who seems to be a foreigner!

Futa: ...Huh?

That's the sound of Yamato's guitar! But...

Whose voice is this!?
