After all the stage battles were over, it was cozmez who won the championship. On the other hand, Kanata, who got the prize money, was in despair due to a certain incident.

**Iori**: Ohhh, isn’t it looking good~? So this is the new Club Paradox, huh?

**Zen**: Yes! The whole city is looking forward to the final battle, they’re really into it and are getting ready for the final touch.

**Satsuki**: Woah! This is seriously cool!

**Iori**: Ohh~ However, it looks like a new good project is about to start!

**Zen**: Right, I’ve never thought that a music transmission will be released in the entirety of the population, it’s really surprisingly good news!

**Iori**: By the way…

**Zen and Satsuki**: Yeah..

**Iori**: Why are you guys here? I told you to look after the site!

**Zen**: Hahaha, after seeing everyone working really hard at the site, I couldn’t just wait and watch.

**Satsuki**: We’re also short-handed so I’m helping out! I’m getting a part-time pay too!

**Zen**: And it can also be muscle training!

**Satsuki**: That’s right! Look at this Aniki, a manly muscle I gained at the site! Hm!?

**Zen**: Ohhh. you’re getting fit, Satsuki-kun!

**Satsuki**: Hahaha you too, Zen-nii! You’re crunching, look at those lady-killer muscles!!

**Zen**: Hahaha then how about this…! Hmmm..!

**Satsuki**: Woah! T-Thats!

**Reo**: Wah, what’s this? Tank top and bragging about muscle, that’s seriously painful to watch~

**Satsuki**: Eh? Stupid brat?

**Hokusai**: Thanks for waiting. We bought you drinks.

**Iori**: Oh, Thanks~

**Reo**: Here, for Aniki its iced coffee, for Zen-nii, its soy milk cafe latte, right?

**Zen**: Thank you.

**Reo**: For Hokusai it’s iced tea and for me it’s caramel macchiato with lots of whipped cream and caramel. Hm~ it’s delicious~!

**Satsuki**: Oi! Where’s mine?!

**Reo**: Hah? Why don’t you just drink something from that hose there, Monkey?

**Satsuki**: Why you…!

**Hokusai**: Don’t worry, I bought your drinks too, Satsuki. Here, *Hiyashi Amazake*

**Satsuki**: I’m thankful but, isn’t the choice kinda lame?

**Zen**: No, that’s a nice choice, Hokusai-kun. Amazake has a lot of amino and it’s good for the body! It’ll bring a lot of energy.

**Satsuki**: Let’s exchange then!

**Zen**: Hahaha… No.

**Satsuki**: Zen-nii..

**Reo**: Hey, hey. Anyway, isn’t it amazing, there’s a lot of cafes and restaurants around that part!

**Hokusai**: They say there are also a lot of places to do live performances besides Club Paradox.

**Zen**: Not only that, they also built a large hall for everyone. Not just for hip-hop, every music genre can be played there!

**Iori**: Thanks to that…. Hahahaha, our business is at its peak too! We didn’t get the 10 billion prize money but this time around, we will have our wallets full.

**Zen**: Yeah, if we can execute our business here, Suiseki Clan’s peak is not just a dream!

**Satsuki**: That’s right!

**Reo**: “If you’re gonna fall, grab onto something and stand again” that’s Oyaji’s teaching after all, right?

**Everyone**: !!

**Hokusai**: You’re right, we fought on that stage battles and we also obtained something.

**Reo**: Un! Winning, losing, we learned a lot, we became adults.

**Satsuki**: We’re not little kids anymore that should be protected, we can also be your strength, Aniki!

**Iori**: You guys... heh.. You’ve grown!

**Satsuki**: Yeah! I’m doing muscle training too!

**Reo**: That again?? Annoying.

**Satsuki**: Anyway, stupid brat! If you’ve got a lot of free time, why don’t you work too!?

**Reo**: Hah? Are you stupid? There’s no way that this cute Reo will do muscle work!

**Satsuki**: Lame, you’re useless when you’re not with us!

**Reo**: I’m not!

**Satsuki**: What can you do then?

**Reo**: Ahh! Hokusai! Satsuki’s being a bully.

**Hokusai**: Satsuki, people have their differences, there’s something you’re good at and you’re not, so it’s not good to force it.

**Satsuki**: Tsk! Why it’s always me-.. Eh?

**Hokusai**: There, there.. Satsuki’s a handworking good boy, good boy.

**Satsuki**: Wai- …getting a head pat in this kind of place… stop it…

**Reo**: Woah, he got embarrassed in an instant.

**Hokusai**: You don’t have to be shy, Satsuki’s a good boy.

**Satsuki**: Ah! Mou!! Aniki! My break time is almost over, so I’ll go back to the site first.

**Iori**: Good job, Satsuki.

**Satsuki**: Hehe.. the old man said they couldn’t finish work without me, so.. Then, Zen-nii too, see you later.

**Zen**: I’ll leave it to you!

**Reo**: Then us too, is it okay if we observe over there?

**Zen**: Yeah, but be careful.

**Reo**: Okay! Let’s go, Hokusai!

**Hokusai**: Yeah..

*(Reo and Hokusai leave)*

**Iori**: Satsuki’s doing great there.

**Zen**: Yea! Everyone on the site is treating him like their son… they told me, working here feels like.. The time when Oyaji was still here.

**Iori**: I see.

**Zen**: Yes.

**Iori**: Oh yeah, speaking of Oyaji, it’s about the investigation of Alter Trigger’s Lab investment the other day…

**Zen**: Did you find out something?

**Iori**: Yeah, according to the people behind the attacking group, Oyaji suddenly raised emergency funds, most probably to cover up the schemes of those guys behind the scenes.

**Zen**: Then.. because of that, they shut their mouth off…

**Iori**: It’s like a warning or something …but what do you think?

**Zen**: About what?

**Iori**: About the scene we are seeing right in front of us..

**Zen**: !?

**Iori**: Paradox Live being involved in such-like incident, but they were able to continue the development of this big project…normally you can’t imagine it, right?

**Zen**: Because of the incident this time, Alter Trigger’s Lab was dissolved, but it gives you thoughts.. that maybe there’s a bigger organization involved behind the scenes.

**Iori**: “Even if you fall, stand again” is Oyaji’s motto. He’s not that kind of person who’ll get rid of people just because he knows one or two secrets.

**Zen**: In other words, there’s something deeper about Oyaji… he’s definitely involved in something that he doesn’t want us to know..

**Iori**: There is, but then..

**Zen**: Our enemies… where are they, really?

**Iori**: Who knows, but I’m not giving up

**Zen**: Of course!

**Iori**: To avenge Oyaji and our comrade, I, Suiseki Iori will surely bring them down, just wait and see.

*(At Bar 4/7)*

**Yohei**: Congratulations, Professor. With this, you’re finally the full pledge master, right?

**Naoakira**: Thank you, Yohei.

**Yohei**: Might be late to say this now, but when we lost at Paradox Live, I was prepared to lose this shop too, you know?

**Naoakira**: I’ve never thought we could buy the whole neighborhood at a cheaper price.

**Yohei**: Yeah, after that case happened, there were talks that this land will undergo development. That was definitely bullshit. That shitty realtor, as expected, he’s with the Alter Trigger.

**Naoakira**: You’re right... But well.. With this... we can relax now.

**Yohei**: I don’t know about that. The price dropped like crazy thanks to this incident, but if we had pushed a little more, we might’ve gotten this place for free too.

**Naoakira**: Or maybe.. bribe them?

*(Laughing)*

**Naoakira**: But, in any case, we were able to protect the shop.

**Yohei**: Yeah, To our place-

**Naoakira**: Cheers.... Paradox Live, thinking about it now, that time I impulsively decided to participate just because I didn’t want to lose this bar.

**Yohei**: Heh, soon.. It’s not about that anymore.

**Naoakira**: Yeah.. we were triggered.

**Yohei**: When the battle started, we were dissed by those brats from BAE, right?

**Naoakira**: But thanks to Yeon-kun, we were able to realize once again, about things we should protect.

**Yohei**: Our sound... TCW’s sound.. Just like that person said “Songs that connect people to one another”, we were able to do it, right?

**Naoakira**: Yeah.. I’m sure that even Tsubaki would praise us a little. But, I don’t intend to be satisfied with just that.

**Yohei**: Well of course.

**Naoakira**: By the way, where’s Shiki?... It’s about time for him to be back from school.

**Yohei**: He’s out today with the cozmez twins, he said they’ll go around record shops then be back.

**Naoakira**: Eh…? With those two? Heh, lately, Shiki has changed, hasn’t he?

**Yohei**: Yeah, Now that he has no reason to feel intimidated, he became brighter.

**Naoakira**: Hehe, this one is also thanks to participating in Paradox Live, right?

**Yohei**: Now then, should we start preparing for the bar opening? The biggest merit of us participating in Paradox Live is that… the bar is busier now.

**Naoakira**: Oops! I forgot that.

**Yohei**: Give me a break, you’re the owner, right?

*(Saimon laughs)*

**Yohei**: Come to say, that brat Ryu, where have he wandered off?

**Naoakira**: Didn’t you ask him to do some errands?

**Yohei**: Yeah, Because I couldn’t have a serious conversation with the realtor if he’s around.

*(Door opens)*

**Ryu**: Tada~! A major discovery !!! A major discovery!!! Look, look, look!! It was lying on the streets so I picked it up~!

**Yohei**: What the hell is that?

**Ryu**: A monster’s baby! Sharp-sharpyzaurus Deluxe!!

**Yohei**: Sharp-sharpyzaurus..?

**Ryu**: Hn? What’s wrong, master? Pfft, your face is 3 times scarier than usual, you know~?

*(Door opens)*

**Shiki**: I’m hom-

**Yohei**: Where the hell did you pick this up??

**Shiki**: W-W-What happened, Master?

**Yohei**: This stupid Ryu, picked up some weird creature from somewhere.

**Ryu**: It’s not a weird creature! It’s a baby dinosaur!!

**Shiki**: D-Dinosaur!?

**Yohei**: It’s an iguana, an iguana! It’ll be tolerable if it’s a cat, do you even normally find them on streets??

**Ryu**: Here, Shiki, isn’t it cute? Sharp-sharpyzaurus Deluxe!!

**Shiki**: Y-Yeah…

**Ryu**: This sharp comb like here, don’t you think it’s pretty good to touch?

**Shiki**: Y-You’re right.. I- I think I’m not good with this kind of creature

**Naoakira**: Welcome home, Shiki.

**Shiki**: Ah, owner, you’re early today.

**Naoakira**: I’ve got a little something to do. I’ve heard about it, you went to record shops with the two from cozmez.

**Shiki**: Y-Yes!

**Naoakira**: Did you have fun?

**Shiki**: Yes! I also found good stuff. This one’s Nayuta-kun’s recommendation and this is something Kanata-kun said I must listen to.

**Naoakira**: Oh, then that’s good to-

**Yohei**: HAAH?! I won’t allow it this time, okay!? We’ve already got a lot of cats.

**Ryu**: Master’s a stingy-stingy! If you continue to bully me, it’ll shorten your lifespan, you know~!

**Yohei**: Hah? Who cares! Anyway, what happened to the groceries?

**Ryu**: Ah!? I forgot~~

**Yohei**: !! (*Strangled noise*)

**Naoakira**: Now, now, it’s fine, isn’t it? I can go buy those groceries instead.

**Ryu**: Boss~~ (*Ryu noises*)

**Naoakira**: However, about the iguana…. What should we do?

**Yohei**: Eh? Why are you looking at me?

**Naoakira**: W-well…

**Ryu**: Sharp-sharpyzaurus Deluxe said it also wants here too

**Ryu**: *(In a cute voice)* Sharp-sharpyzaurus Deluxe, like it here, I want to be in here! Stingy-stingy master is stupid, stuuuupid~~!

**Yohei**: Ah.. I don’t know what to say anymore..

**Shiki**: U-Um.. I’m sure that this child is lost, right?

**Naoakira**: Though so, I’ve never heard of a stray iguana before.

**Shiki**: If that’s the case, then at least until we find the pet owner, it’ll be good to stay here… I’m a little uncomfortable with it but I’ll work hard to take care of it so…

**Yohei**: Eh.. why are you looking at me too, Shiki?

**Ryu**: Stariiiiiiingg……

**Naoakira**: Yohei.

**Yohei**: …Ah!! Jeez!! Do what you want!

**Ryu**: YAAAY!

**Shiki**: Good for you, Ryuu-kun.

**Ryu**: Thank you, Shiki! Where’s your thank you Sharp-sharpyzaurus Deluxe?

**Ryu**: *(In a cute voice)* Thank you, Shiki, I love you!!

**Shiki**: A-Ah! D-Don’t get it close to me that much.. AHH!

**Ryu**: It’s time to play tag~!

**Shiki**: Ryuu-kun!

*(Shiki and Ryuu run around)*

**Yohei**: Hey! Don’t run inside the store! We’re about to open soon!

**Naoakira**: *(Chuckles)* If there is a place you wish for, this place will provide it. That is what this bar is all about, the Bar 4/7, Yohei.

**Yohei**: You just thought you said something good just now, didn’t you?

**Naoakira**: Hahaha.

**Yohei**: Really, this place… it’s a good place!

*(In the background)*

**Shiki**: If you don’t stop, I’ll be angry!
**Ryu**: HAHAHHAA

*(Door opens)*

**Allen**: Hey, hey. Have you seen the news? Club Paradox construction is done!

**Hajun**: We know, it’s even trending on the internet.

**Anne**: *(Laughs)* Looks like you’re happy, Allen.

**Allen**: Of course I am! The final battle of cozmez against Buraikan is finally starting!

**Hajun**: Really, aren’t you a dumbass?

**Allen**: Eh?

**Hajun**: Isn’t it your dream to be up against Buraikan? If you just let cozmez decline just like that, the first place team, in other words, we BAE, could’ve stood on that stage, you know?

**Allen**: I know that, I’ve wanted to win too. Win the stage battle and fight with the legendary Buraikan… on that stage that I adore so much, there .. if our existence could be proven.. If that happens then!.. That’s what I’ve always thought.. But now, it’s a little bit different. We fought on that stage battle, a lot had happened but until the very end, the 3 of us, BAE’s sounds were connected.. Hehe, I wonder why? After that much devotion to win… now, it’s what makes me happy the most, I’m proud! Thank you, Anne, Hajun! For making music with me.

**Anne**: Allen…

**Hajun**: If we don’t win, if we don’t stand on top, everything is meaningless… Yeah, I’ve always thought like that too. The me who always wins, being on the losing side, I’ll probably won’t accept it, but, I wonder? Now, it strangely doesn’t really bother me. I lost but I feel like I didn’t lose something, if anything, I feel like something on me has been filled. It’s not like me, though.

**Anne**: That’s not true, that’s not true, Hajun.

**Hajun**: Hm..

**Anne**: I also… Up until now, I’ve always felt like something in me is not enough. I wear cute clothes and make-up, always pursuing to do something fun, but somewhere, I felt worried, it felt like I’m always reaching my hands out into something unreachable. But it changed, that day on the stage, with Allen and Hajun, with all the teams we fought with on the stage battle. The songs, the phantom illusions, became one in a deeper part.. And with that, I realized that the thing I really want is already within my hands! Thank you, Allen, Hajun, for making music with me.

**Allen**: Anne…

**Hajun**: Hn? What is it? Allen? Anne? What’s with the hopeful gazes?

**Anne**: That’s.... right?

**Allen**: Yeah.

**Hajun**: Don’t tell me… you guys want me to say the same thing?

**Allen and Anne**: Staring....

**Hajun**: Ah! Jeez! I understand. I just have to say it right? ...*Thank you* (in Korean), Allen, Anne, for making music with me.

**Anne**: No way, Hajun! You’re cute when you’re being honest!

**Allen**: Tomorrow might rain.. Or maybe a typhoon!

**Hajun**: !!.. You guys!

*(BAE laughing)*

**Hajun**: Anyway, this means that there are enough things that we got for participating in Paradox Live.

**Anne**: Right?

**Allen**: Ahh, but, as expected, it’s frustrating!! That’s nice, Buraikan.. I wanted to do it too!

**Hajun**: You don’t need to rush. If we continue to work as BAE, I’m sure that opportunities will come sooner or later. And that time, for sure…

**Anne**: But Hajun, for you to continue doing Phantom Live, will your body be okay?

**Hajun**: No need to worry, after that time, no symptoms had shown, I’m also in a good condition.

**Anne**: I see, good to hear.

**Allen**: But, if you start feeling a bit weird, even just a little… tell us right away.

**Anne**: No holding back, you hear?

**Hajun**: Yeah. I’ll do that. Besides, I still have a task left to take revenge for them destroying myself. There was no time for me to collapse.

**Anne**: I didn’t forget that part.

**Allen**: Now that you mention it, in the end, was Alter Trigger really dissolved?

**Hajun**: Yeah.. at the very least, on the surface.

**Anne**: Just the surface, huh?

**Hajun**: That being sad, the Yeon conglomerate is also caught in the eyes of the police for funding Alter Trigger on the underground. I wouldn’t say just as planned but, after taking that much damage, it’s a good result as the first step of revenge.

**Anne**: As expected.

**Allen**: Super sadistic sly, black hearted prince. Oh.. by the way, there’s something I want to discuss with you.

**Anne**: What is it??

**Allen**: It’s almost the final battle, right?.... That’s why...

*(Whispering)*

**Allen**: Alright!! It’s decided then!

**Anne**: That sounds good! Let’s do it!

**Hajun**: It can’t be helped, I’ll tag along then.
