Chattering

Ken

–Now then.

——さて

Ken

As I told you on the way here, this is a livehouse on the same level as Rodin, where we went before.

ここに来る途中話したとおり、 ここは、前行った『Rodin』と同レベルのライブハウスだ

Ken

Not to mention, there are several teams that're partnered with major labels. I'm sure it'll be a tough battle.

しかも今回はメジャーレベルのチームが何組もいる。 厳しい勝負になるだろう

Ken

But... As you are now, you should be able to win.

だが…… 今のお前達なら、勝てるはずだ

An

Yeah. We'll win.

うん。勝つよ

An

Like what Akito said to the people in town. So that we can surpass RAD WEEKEND at our next event.

彰人が街の人達に宣言したとおり、 ——次のイベントでRAD WEEKENDを超えるために

Ken

You lot, go at this with the intent to surpass your limits. Sound good?

全員、限界を超えるつもりでいけ。 いいな

Everyone

Yeah!
Yes!

『うん！』
『はいっ！』

MC

–Next up is Vivid BAD SQUAD!

『——次は、Vivid BAD SQUADだ！』

Cheering

Toya

It seems our turn is upon us...

……ちょうど出番がきたようだな

Kotaro

Alright, you guys let 'em have it! I'll be right behind you!

よーし、お前らかましてこい！ オレも続くからな！

An

Yeah! Let's all do our best and hit 'em with everything we've got!

うん！　お互い、全力でぶちかましていこう！

Akito

Well then, you guys — let's go!!

それじゃあお前ら——いくぞ！！

An, Kohane & Toya

Yeah!

『うん！』 『ああ！』

Cheering

WEEKEND GARAGE

Music starts

An

Ahh~! Today was so tiring~!!

っは～！ 今日はホント疲れた～！！

Kohane

It was... The other teams were so amazing.

そうだね……。 周りはみんなすごいチームばっかりだったし……

Kohane

But— I'm glad we were able to pull off the win.

でも——ちゃんと勝ててよかったな

Toya

When they asked us to do one more song as a tiebreaker, I was caught off guard... But as a result we managed to perform at our best level yet.

勝者が決まり切らずもう１曲……となった時は驚いたが、 結果として、今までで一番いいパフォーマンスになったな

Kotaro

Jeez... The fact that you guys're able to deal with such crazy teams... You guys really have gotten to an insane level.

ったく、あんなすげえチームと渡り合うなんて、 お前ら本当にとんでもないレベルになったよな

Akito

You say that, but you held your own against 'em too, didn't you?

そう言うお前も、 かなり食らいついてたじゃねえか

Kotaro

Well, I can't go letting myself lose out on motivation... I'm already lacking in skill as it stands, and I've really fallen behind from all that time I was gone, so I've gotta bust my ass to catch up.

まあ、少なくとも気合いは負けてられねえよ。 ……ただでさえ実力足りてねえし、 離脱してた分も遅れてんだから、死ぬ気で追いつかねえと

Akito

Yeah. We'll be counting on you.

——おう。頼むぞ

An

Ah, come to think of it. Dad, what are we going to practice now?

あ、そういえば父さん、 このあとの練習って……

Ken

Yeah, sorry. I forgot to tell you... I have to go chat with the granny from COL.

ああ、すまん。 言い忘れてたが……オレはこれからCOLのばあさんと話がある

Ken

I'm sure you guys are more tired than usual today, so let's call it here for now.

お前らも、今日はいつもより消耗しただろうから ここで解散としよう

Ken

You can do your independent practice from here, or you can spend time thinking about your assignments. Do whatever you want.

このあとは、それぞれ自主練してもいいし、 課題について考える時間にしてもいい。 好きにしてくれ

An

Alright, got it!

うん、わかった！

Ken

Well, just try not to get carried away.

じゃあ、あんまり根詰めすぎるなよ

Footsteps

Akito

So, what should we do now?

んじゃ、こっからどうすっかだな

Toya

I'd like to work on my assignment, but... I had some concerns about my pitch during the chorus at our event today. I'll practice getting that in order first, then move onto my assignment after that.

課題もやりたいところだが…… 俺は今日のイベントで、サビのピッチが気になった。 まずそこをそろえる練習をしてから、課題に入るのはどうだろうか

An

Okay! How about you, Kotaro?

オッケー！ 洸太郎はどうする？

Kotaro

I'm gonna go home and do some solo practice. Lately, my little bro's been all like "can you please come home early sometimes?" So y'know.

オレは家に帰って自主練するかな。 最近弟に『たまには早く帰ってきて』って言われてんだよな～

Kohane

Ehehe, your little brother loves you a lot, doesn't he, Mita-san? In that case, I hope you can relax and spend time with him tonight.

ふふっ、弟さん、三田さんが大好きなんですね。 それじゃあ今日は、弟さんとゆっくり過ごしてください

Kotaro

Yeah! See you tomorrow!

おう！　また明日な！

Footsteps

Kohane

Then, after we take a break, let's get back to—

——じゃあ、ちょっと休憩したら練習に……

？？？

You guys!

『みんなー！』

Music stops

Akito

Huh? That voice just now...

ん？　今の声は……

Bloop

Akito

Yeah, I figured it was Len.

やっぱりレンか

Len

Ah, everyone's here! Hey, d'you have time to talk right now!?

『あ、みんないる！ ねえ、今話す時間ある！？』

Kohane

Y-yeah. Why are you in so much of a hurry?

う、うん。 そんなに慌ててどうしたの？

Len

Um... The thing is–!

『えっと……実はね！』

Len

There's a new place in the Sekai!

『セカイに、新しい場所ができたんだ！』

An, Akito & Toya

Huh?

『え？』

Kohane

A new... place?

新しい……場所？

Street Sekai - ? ? ?
ストリートのセカイ - ？？？

Music starts

Len

See! It's over there!

ほら！　あそこだよ！

Footsteps

An

Wah...! Amazing! It's such a wide, open plaza!

わぁ……！　すごーい！ 大きな広場だね！

Toya

You're right... I've never seen a place like this before...

たしかに……。 こんな場所、初めて見たな……

Akito

Wait. Did this huge-ass place just appear out of nowhere?

つーかこんなデカい場所が、急にできたのか？

Rin

You guys, come over this way!

みんなこっちこっちー！

Kohane

Ah, Rin-chan! And everyone else, too!

あ、リンちゃん！ それにみんなも！

An

Hey, what is all of this...?

ねえ、ここって一体……

Miku

We don't know either. Luka only just brought us here now.

私達もまだよくわかってないんだ。 さっきルカに連れてこられたばっかりでさ

Kohane

I see... But why all of a sudden–?

そうだったんだ。 でも、どうして急に——

Luka

Hmmm... I can't say for sure, but–

んー、ハッキリとはわかんないけど……

Luka

It's probably something new that was born from your feelings.

多分、みんなの想いから新しくできたんじゃないかな

Akito

Something new from our feelings... Can that just happen?

想いから新しくって……んなことあるんですか？

MEIKO

This place was originally born from all of your feelings, so it's no surprise that the influence of strong feelings would cause it to change.

ここは、もともとみんなの想いで作られた場所だから 強い想いに影響されて変化が起きても不思議じゃないわ

Toya

Change, you say...?

変化……ですか

An

But I don't think our feelings have changed at all from how they were before...

でも、私達の想いって、 前とそんなに変わってないと思うけど……

Akito

Yeah. That feeling of wanting to surpass RAD WEEKEND hasn't changed since day one.

そうだな。 『RAD WEEKENDを超えたい』って気持ちは 前から変わってねえし……

KAITO

That's a good point, huh~?

たしかにね～

KAITO

Ah, but you might be able to figure out what feelings made this place if you poke around and do some investigating. The Sekai reflects all of your feelings, after all!

あ、でも、どんな想いでできてるかは、 この場所を調べてみればわかるかもよ。 セカイには、みんなの想いが反映されるからね！

Kohane

This place...

この場所を……

Kohane

(It really is a big plaza... and there's all sorts of graffiti on the walls–)

（……本当に大きな広場だな。 それに、壁にもたくさんグラフィティがあって——）

Kohane

...Huh?

……あれ？

An

Kohane, did you find something?

こはね、何か見つけた？

Kohane

Ah, um... I was just thinking that the wall of that big building over there seems a bit strange.

あ、えっと……。 あそこにある大きな建物の壁、ちょっと変だなって思って

Toya

...Yeah, you're right about that.

……ああ、たしかにそうだな

Toya

Most of the wall is buried in graffiti and flyers, but for some reason, the centre of it is left blank...

壁の大半が グラフィティとフライヤーで埋め尽くされているのに、 なぜか中央だけが空いている……

An

It feels like only that spot is super empty... I wonder why?

そこだけぽっかり空いてるって感じだね。 ……なんでなんだろ？

Akito

Well... It's definitely interesting, but if we don't know anything about it, just thinking won't tell us anything.

……まあ、たしかに気になるが わかんねえなら、今は考えても仕方ねえな

Akito

Why don't we look around and try find some kind of hint?

他にヒントになりそうなもんがないか、 探してみるのはどうだ？

Toya

You're right. We should start by trying to comprehend the entirety of this place... For starters, why don't we check the nearest alley?

そうだな、まずは全体を把握するとしよう。 ……とりあえず、一番近い路地から行ってみるとするか

Kohane

Ah... Yeah!

あ……うん！
