Kanata still keeps receiving jobs from Iori and it has created a spark of interest - not only to the job itself but to the reason why they keep on doing it. And it has something to do with protecting their "family" as far as lying to them.

Even if cozmez and Akan Yatsura are battling each other out in this Stage Battle, there is camaraderie born between them as they all team up together to finish a task.

**Zen:** Sorry for suddenly asking you to do a job even though you’re busy preparing for the live, Kanata-kun.

**Kanata:** No… I need money too, after all.

**Iori:** Aight, here ya go, payment for the job. Added in a bonus, too.

**Kanata:** Thanks.

**Iori:** Ah, yeah, I saw yer stage the other day. The one against BAE.

**Zen:** It was brilliant! I was moved. The track that felt like it’s swooping down on you, the profound lyrics… You two’s desire turned into fierce vibes, and pressed into my heart!!

**Kanata:** Yeah.

**Zen:** You guys weren’t bad during the Opening Show, but now you were like different people altogether! It’s like, you were giving your all… and you looked like you’re really having fun!

**Kanata:** Having fun…?

**Zen:** Yeah! You had a good expression, Kanata-kun!

**Kanata:** Oh, really.

**Iori:** ‘Sup with that thin reaction~?

**Kanata:** It doesn’t matter how good if we lose, after all.

**Zen:** There’s no such thingーー

**Kanata:** We get no money if we lose, we ain’t doing it for fun.

**Iori:** ‘s good to have ambitions, I like that kinda dazzle.

**Kanata:** Thanks.

**Iori:** Yer next opponent is us, Akan Yatsura. Haha, seem like it’d be an interestin’ match!

**Kanata:** Suiseki-san, I have one thing I want to ask you…

**Iori:** What’s it? Say it.

**Kanata:** Your team… Akan Yatsura’s other members, do they know about this?

**Iori:** Whatcha mean by “this”?

**Kanata:** That you’re collecting metals behind the scenes. Using people like me, doing business you can’t talk about to others.

**Zen:** You…!

**Iori:** Ooh, how unusual.

**Kanata:** Huh?

**Iori:** Askin’ stuff about other people… I thought ya ain’t interested in anyone but yer lil’ bro.

**Kanata:** I didn’t meanーー

**Iori:** No reason to tell ‘em stuff they don’t ‘ave to know.

**Kanata:** …!

**Iori:** Rest assured, they know nothin’.

**Kanata:** Is that so.

**Zen:** That’s why, you don’t have to worry during our match, too! Let’s ignore our standings and collide with all of our strength!

**Kanata:** “Stuff they don’t ‘ave to know”, you said… well yeah, of course you won’t tell them a thing.

**Zen:** Huh?

**Kanata:** The end for people who keeps using phantometals, that is.

**Zen:** That’s…!

**Kanata:** “Team is family”… saying stuff like “family”, but not telling them the important things… only showing the good stuff, you’re just deceiving and using them idiots, huh?

**Zen:** You’re wrong! They’re fully aware of the metal’s risks andーー

**Kanata:** Nobody can stop the erosion once it’s started. You’ll melt, and get swallowed by the metal - do they know this too?

**Zen:** …!

**Kanata:** Suiseki-san… that name of yours, it’s the name of the ex-boss who were killed in the attack incident, right?

**Iori:** What’s that? Yanno it well, don’tcha?

**Kanata:** I looked it up, you know? ‘Cause I don’t like getting used one-sidedly.

**Iori:** Ooh~? The lil’ rat in my control’s be playin’ detective and tryna threaten *the* Suiseki Iori, that it?

**Kanata:** Stop screwin’ around…

**Iori:** Ha?

**Kanata:** Suiseki-san… you inherited a name and now you feel like you’re family?

If you’re a family… if you guys think you’re a real family, then why do you let them do stuff that’ll whittle their own life?

Families share everything, however dirty or painful it is. There ain’t a need for secrets! No need for secrecy!

If it’s to protect another’s life, then your own life don’t matter!

That’s what a “family” is, ain’t it!?

**Iori:** Are ya… tellin’ yerself that?

**Kanata:** Ha?

**Iori:** Both ‘a us keep secrets from our family, don’t we? Did ya tell yer lil’ bro about this business? About the metal…

**Kanata:** …!

**Iori:** “No reason to tell ‘em stuff they don’t ‘ave to know”, ain’t we the same?

**Kanata:** Don’t lump me with you!

I do it to protect Nayuta!! Unlike you guys who do it to conveniently use them!

**Zen:** You…!! You’re crossing the line!!

**Kanata:** The next match!

**Iori & Zen:** ?

**Kanata:** We’ll absolutely win. There’s no way we’ll lose to a mock family like you!

**Iori & Zen:** …

**Kanata:** Nayuta and I… we’ll hammer into you all that cozmez’s the most terrific.

*(Kanata walks away.)*

**Iori:** Haha, “mock family”, huh. He said something clever. Sounds extreme delicious if you put it an *oden!*

**Zen:** *Waka*!

**Iori:** Hey. You’re s’posed to laugh just now!

**Zen:** …! I’m sorry, but…!

There will come a time one day that Kanata-kun will have to see the reality… the truth. For that reason, *Waka* purposefully collected metals…

**Iori:** It’s fine. ’s a child who’ve been hurt terribly by dirty adults up ‘til now. Well, that ‘stray cat’ kinda part of him made me can’t ignore him, though.

**Zen:** Sigh. We’re not a charity, you know?

**Iori:** I know that~! ‘s why, we’ll win the live. We’ll seize the 10 billion without fail. Rest assured!

Plus, on that case too… I’ll settle it without fail.

**Zen:** Yes.

**Iori:** Well then, I’ll be goin’ out for a while.

**Zen:** To where?

**Iori:** A secret, s-e-c-r-e-t!

**Zen:** …

**Iori:** What’s with tha’ face?

Haha, don’tcha worry. ‘S minor business, minor business.

*(Iori walks away.)*

**Iori:** See ya!

**Zen:** …Minor business, he said… Sigh.

*Waka,* if it’s for you, I intend to do any job, whatever it is.

Even so, why are you always, by yourself…

Sigh. “Family”, huh…

*(Sound of train passing through.)*

*(Kanata opens the door.)*

**Kanata:** I’m home.

**Nayuta:** Oh, welcome home, Kanata.

**Kanata:** How are you feeling, Nayuta? Your fever?

**Nayuta:** Mm, I’m fine already. Anyways, where’d you go? When I woke up, you’re gone.

**Kanata:** Sorry, just doing a minor business. In return, here.

*(Kanata opens a plastic bag.)*

**Nayuta:** Huh? It’s Raimen-tei!

**Kanata:** You’re hungry, aren’t you? Let’s eat before it gets cold.

*Chuuka-don* and *gomoku yakisoba*. Which one you want?

**Nayuta:** You choose, Kanata.

**Kanata:** I’m fine with whichever. Get what you want, Nayuta.

**Nayuta:** …No.

**Kanata:** Huh?

**Nayuta:** Kanata is always like that. You always put me first.

**Kanata:** What’s up, suddenly?

**Nayuta:** I don’t like stuff like that. Kanata, you have to take care of yourself more.

Kanata, you always think of me first. But even I want to put Kanata first, too.

**Kanata:** Huh?

**Nayuta:** That’s why, today, you choose, Kanata.

**Kanata:** Sigh. Fine. Then, I’ll get the *yakisoba*ーno, let’s share it half and half. Then we can eat both, right?

**Nayuta:** You’re right, but…

**Kanata:** “Sharing everything is what a family is”, right?

**Kanata:** Aah, it was good! We’re full now, so, let’s sleep.

**Nayuta:** Kanata.

**Kanata:** Huh?

**Nayuta:** There’s something that’s always been on my mind…

**Kanata:** What?

**Nayuta:** I don’t think we can continue being like this.

**Kanata:** Ha?

**Nayuta:** Um… I think it’s better for Kanata to go out more. It’s better for you to widen your world.

**Kanata:** You… what are you saying, suddenly?

**Nayuta:** I understood from our battle with BAE the other day… because Kanata was different.

**Kanata:** Me? Ha, which part? I’m just as usualーー

**Nayuta:** No, you were different. You were… you were way, way better than the usual Kanata.

**Kanata:** …!

**Nayuta:** I think… it’s probably because of the thing with BAE.

After that, Kanata started making the track with amazing vigor, right?

**Kanata:** That’s… I just didn’t want to lose against those naive guys, that’s all.

**Nayuta:** That day’s stage… I felt it. That our music have a way amazing future.

That meeting changed Kanata. I felt it, you do too, don’t you?

**Kanata:** …!

**Nayuta:** You can’t keep being closed off like this.

If we stay only in our world… one day, we’ll reach our limits.

**Kanata:** Don’t say stupid things! Weren’t we always the best!?

Nayuta and I - what else do we need!?

**Nayuta:** Other people.

**Kanata:** …!

**Nayuta:** Other people’s music. Other people’s passion. Hope. Desire. That’s what will make you stronger, Kanata.

**Kanata:** …

**Nayuta:** That’s why, Kanata. Go out more. Meet other people.

If you do, cozmez can go to greater heights.

**Kanata:** Then, Nayuta, you too. With meーー

**Nayuta:** I’m not going.

**Kanata:** Why!?

**Nayuta:** You understand, don’t you? I can’t go.

**Kanata:** What are youーー

**Nayuta:** You have to go by yourself, Kanata.

**Kanata:** Ha?

**Nayuta:** Kanata, for yourself.

**Kanata:** …!

*(Sound of train passing through.)*

**Kanata:** Stop screwing around… STOP SCREWING AROUND!!

*(Kanata kicks some stuff.)*

**Kanata:** What the hell are you on about!? “Go by yourself”!? Don’t screw with me!!

**Nayuta:** …

**Kanata:** We were always together… we did everything with only the two of us, didn’t we!? When we got hit by shitty adults, when we ran away from the orphanage…!!

Hungry, frozen, when we live by drinking muddy water…!!

**Nayuta:** Yeah… Kanata always protected me.

**Kanata:** I’m fine if I only have you, Nayuta!!

Other people’s music, passion, who the hell cares about that!?

I don’t ー we don’t need it! I always told you, don’t I!? If we’re together, we’re the strongest…!!

**Nayuta:** Kanata…

**Kanata:** Don’t… leave me alone…

I… it’s enough if I only have Nayuta…

**Nayuta:** Kanata… I’m the same.

I want to make Kanata happy.

Because you’re my number one…

I want to make you happy even if it costs me my life.

*(Kanata cries.)*

**Nayuta:** Don’t cry, Kanata…

I’m sorry…

There’s nothing else I can do…

*(Sound of train passing.)*

*(Reo bangs on the door.)*

**Reo:** Satsuki-chan!!

Hey, get a grip!! Until when are you going to be in the toilet!?

Make it fast, Satsuki-chan!!

Are you pooping!? Hey, are you pooping!!?

*(Satsuki opens the door.)*

**Satsuki:** I’m not pooping, you shitty brat!!

**Reo:** Waahhh, stinky!!! You really were pooping!!

**Satsuki:** Shut up!! You just have to pinch your nose and get in!!

**Zen:** Hey! Be good and use the toilet in order!

Jeez, even though we’re about to eat.

*(Hokusai puts plates and chopsticks on the table.)*

**Hokusai:** I’m done putting the plates and chopsticks on the table…

What should I do next…?

**Zen:** Thank you, Hokusai!

Then, please get the usual out.

**Hokusai:** Okay.

**Iori:** Yawn… Oh, smells good.

**Zen:** Today’s *miso-shiru* is *Waka*’s favorite, potato *miso-shiru!*

**Iori:** Ooh, ‘s merry!

Ooh… dried horse mackerel, spinach *ohitashi*, *hijiki,* and *tamagoyaki,* huh…

Good work as usual.

**Zen:** Not at all. A healthy mind dwell in a healthy body!

Eating is important, after all!

**Iori:** Haha, yer right, but..

**Hokusai:** Zen. Strawberry, banana, and yoghurt… which one?

**Iori:** Eatin’ protein as dessert’s kindaーー

**Zen:** Ah! *Waka,* in place of closing tea, would you like the matcha flavor?

**Iori:** No… yeah.

**Iori:** Alright!

**Satsuki & Reo:** Let’s dig in!!

**Hokusai:** Let’s eat.

*(Sound of door bell ringing.)*

**Iori:** Huh? Who is it at this time?

**Zen:** Is it some kind of a salesperson?

*(Door bell keeps ringing.)*

**Satsuki:** So noisy!

*(Satsuki stands up.)*

**Satsuki:** Zen*-nii,* I’ll drive them away quick!

*(Door bell keeps ringing.)*

**Satsuki:** Oi, you’re bein’ noisy so early in the morning!! Get aーー

*(Satsuki opens the door.)*

**Satsuki:** …!? Eh!?

**Reo:** Hey, did you reject them properly?

**Hokusai:** Satsuki.

**Satsuki:** Ah, no… when I opened the door, he’s standing in the foyer…

**Reo:** Huh? You, have I seen you somewhere…?

**Hokusai:** cozmez’s… Kanata…?

**Iori:** Huh? What’s upーー

Ha…?

**Zen:** Kanata-kun… why are you here?

**Kanata:** I told you that I’ve investigated the Suiseki group, didn’t I?

I know, at least, that this is the only house left after the group collapsed.

**Satsuki:** Oi, how dare you speak informally to Zen*-nii!?*

Rather, Zen-*nii,* do you know him?

**Zen:** No, uh…

**Iori:** And? What business d’ya have, suddenly bargin’ in to other people’s house?

**Kanata:** Suiseki-san… I want to speak one-on-one with you.

**Reo:** Whaーdid you come to pick a fight!?

**Satsuki:** Aight, I’ll fight you, get out!

**Hokusai:** Fighting is not good…

**Iori:** Haha. That’s how it is.

Everyone here’s my family. Don’t hold back, say anything ya want.

Or… are ya scared in front of everyone ya can’t talk?

**Kanata:** Such a thing…

**Zen:** Judging from your state… something serious happened, didn’t it?

If there’s anything we can do for you, then please.

**Kanata:** Um, yesterday… I’m sorry.

**Iori:** Huh.

**Kanata:** I’ll apologize for yesterday. That’s why, Nayuta… please, look for Nayuta…!

**Reo:** And? You woke up this morning and he’s gone? Aren’t you overreacting~?

**Hokusai:** It’s still only afternoon…

**Satsuki:** Ain’t he just gone to the convenience store or something? And went to the game center when he’s at itー

**Kanata:** Haah!?

**Satsuki:** Don’t get riled up at that!

**Kanata:** Nayuta won’t ever do something like that!

He’s never went out without saying anything to me… and I can’t get a hold of him too…

**Satsuki, Reo & Hokusai:** …

**Iori:** D'ya have… an idea as to why he disappeared?

**Zen:** Waka…!

**Kanata:** Last night, we had a fight…

**Satsuki:** What the heck, so it was a fight.

**Reo:** Aah, so maybe ‘cause of that he felt it hard to see you face to face?

I know that feel, you guys are siblings after all!

**Hokusai:** Really…?

**Zen:** What did you guys fought about? If it’s alright with you, would you please tell us?

**Kanata:** He told me… to go out.

He told me to go out more, and meet more people. He said that’d make me stronger.

**Zen:** I see.

**Kanata:** But I don’t need that…! I only need Nayuta.

Even so, he…

**Iori:** But it doesn’t seem like s'all it was.

**Kanata:** …!

**Iori:** To ask for my help 'til ya bow yer head, something ya’ve never done, means there’s 'nother reason, right?

**Kanata:** Sometime ago, right at the time we got the Paradox Live invitation, I was attacked in town.

There were three of them, punks targeting my phantometal.

**AKYR:** Oh…

**Kanata:** 'Cause they were trying to lay their hands on Nayuta, I beat them to a pulp.

**Satsuki:** Seriously!? You’re kinda strong even though you’re lanky, huh!

**Reo:** Monkey, you’re noisy.

**Hokusai:** Kanata, what happened next?

**Kanata:** That time, they probably remembered my face. If they found Nayuta when he’s alone…!

**Reo:** You guys have the same face, so if they misunderstood, it wont be pretty…

**Hokusai:** Dangerous…!

**Zen:** I see. So that’s why you came to our place.

**Kanata:** This kind of thing… I know that I’m not in the place to rely on you, but…!

**Iori:** Aight! We should help each other in times of need.

Got it, y'all?

**Satsuki:** Yeah!

**Reo:** Can’t be helped~! I’ll help you.

**Hokusai:** I’ll find Nayuta. I’m good at finding lost cats.

**Zen:** Then, let’s immediately divide the work.

Waka and I will stand by here. We’ll gather information.

Everyone else go out to town, and search.

**Iori:** Ooh~! Ya look the part, don'tcha, Zen~! Ya look like those police detectives on TV dramas!

**Zen:** Please don’t poke fun at me.

**Iori:** OK. Sorry.

**Zen:** Cough. Just in case, the search team is to move in groups of two. Decide the assignment of area and get in contact as appropriate.

**Reo:** OK~! Then, I’m grouping with Hokusai~

**Hokusai:** Understood.

**Satsuki:** Then, Kanata’s with me.

**Kanata:** Y-yeah…

**Satsuki:** Be at ease! With this Gaia-sama, fearful enough to silence a crying child, we’ll find one, even two little brothers in no time!

**Kanata:** Y-yeah…

**Zen:** If something happens, immediately get in touch and wait for reinforcement. Don’t force yourselves.

**Reo:** Roger!

**Iori:** Aight, let’s go all out!

**Everyone:** Yeah!!

*(Sounds of train passing.)*

**Reo:** Aah, I’m tired~~!

Jeez~ We’ve been walking around all day, my legs feel like lead!

**Satsuki:** You’ve got no stamina at all.

**Reo:** I mean, to top it off, Hokusai tried to ask cats…

**Hokusai:** If only I can speak cat language…

**Reo:** Kanata, how’s it on your end?

**Kanata:** We’ve got nothing. We couldn’t trace his steps after he got out of the apartment…

*(Hokusai picks up a call.)*

**Hokusai:** Yeah… yeah… understood.

*(Hokusai hangs up.)*

**Hokusai:** From Zen… he said they didn’t get any leads too.

**Reo:** Eeeeeh, seriousyl!?

Zen-nii’s an ex-police detective but he’s no good at all!

**Satsuki:** Don’t diss Zen-nii!

**Hokusai:** This area isn’t Big Bro’s territory, so…

**Satsuki:** But like, it’s impossible to look around this much and get nothing at all.

**Reo:** Siiiiigh. Then, what do we do from now on?

**Satsuki:** We’ve got choice but to continue, don’t we?

**Hokusai:** Yeah…

*(Sounds of train passing.)*

*(Kanata stops walking.)*

**Kanata:** Enough already.

**Satsuki:** Eh?

**Kanata:** Enough already. I’ll search by myself from now.

**Reo:** Haa? What the heck are you saying?

**Kanata:** I said, I’ll go search for him by myself.

You guys don’t have to do anything else.

Sorry for getting you all mixed into this.

**Satsuki:** You…!!

*(Satsuki grabs Kanata by the shirt.)*

**Satsuki:** Don’t look down on our chivalry!!

Nayuta is your family, ain’t he!?

Big Bro acknowledged that and agreed to help you.

Just because we searched a little and couldn’t find him, there’s no way we’d just say 'yes, okay’ and run with tails between our legs!

**Reo:** He’s your one and only important little brother, isn’t he!

**Hokusai:** We’ll definitely… find him.

**Kanata:** Eh… but…

**Satsuki:** No fuckin’ 'buts’!!

You were searching desperately, lookin’ like you’re gonna die, didn’t you?

You got us in this far, don’t pretend to be tough now!!

**Reo:** That’s right, that’s right!

At times like this, you should just meekly depend on us! Right, Hokusai?

**Hokusai:** Yeah, that’s right. It’s okay to depend on us.

**Kanata:** …

**Reo:** Hey… when you came to our place, you said you investigated the Suiseki group, right?

**Kanata:** Yeah…

**Reo:** Then, you knew about the raid, didn’t you?

**Kanata:** Yeah, just the gist of it.

I heard that in just one night, the group got utterly annihilated by something.

**Reo:** …would’ve died.

**Kanata:** Eh?

**Reo:** Me… Satsuki, and Hokusai, too. That time, if our timing shifted even a second, all of us would’ve died.

**Kanata:** …!

**Reo:** A deep red sea of blood… everyone died.

I couldn’t save anyone.

Not the boss, not my comrades…

*(Sound of crows cawing.)*

**Reo:** That’s why, at that time, I swore.

That I wont lose my comrades, my family, ever again.

**Satsuki:** …We’re family.

**Kanata:** Family…

**Satsuki:** Yeah.

For ordinary people, we might just be thugs, but for us, we’re family.

I was always like this since I was little.

I get into fights quickly, and I can’t study at all.

Both my parents and my teachers all gave up on me - I didn’t even go to elementary school properly.

**Reo:** Haha. Satsuki-chan’s completely an elementary school graduate, after all.

**Satsuki:** Shut up.

Everyday, everyday, I’m always pissed.

If I hit others, they’d get scared.

I feel refreshed, and thought I’d rise up with these fists.

At that time, Big Bro took me in.

Big Bro and my comrades taught me, who was abandoned by my parents because they thought I was uncontrollable -

How to use chopsticks, how to eat fish, greetings, manners, and the right way to fight… patiently, they taught me, again and again, without ever giving up.

Thats why I decided that they are my family.

I don’t care what others say.

No matter how useless they are, I won’t abandon them.

That’s what family is.

**Reo:** …Me, too.

I chose my own family.

My blood related family has… how to say it? Broken up, and I haven’t seen them for years.

I don’t want to see them, either.

But it’s not like I hate them or anything.

Papa taught me hip hop, and Mama… see, she gave me this cute face, after all.

**Satsuki:** You gonna say that yourself?

**Reo:** But you see, my family… all thought that they’re the most important.

They make debts that Papa couldn’t pay back, lots of things happened, and my family broke up.

Aha, pathetic, right?

**Hokusai:** Reo…

**Reo:** Yeah.

**Hokusai:** There, there.

*(Hokusai pats Reo’s head.)*

**Reo:** Haha, Hokusai’s so nice…

Unlike a certain shitty monkey.

**Satsuki:** Who the fuck would pat your head, disgusting!

**Hokusai:** Me, too.

My father is in prison.

We probably won’t ever meet each other outside anymore, for life.

**Kanata:** Eh?

**Hokusai:** I’m the son of a criminal.

When everyone knew of it, they all left me.

Only animals don’t look at me with rose-colored glasses.

They always stay by my side.

But, Big Bro and the others were different.

They treat me as Masaki Hokusai, as a different person than my father.

They told me to raise my head when we walk together.

To them, I’m not a shameful person, because we’re family.

**Kanata:** Family…

**Satsuki:** Yeah. We’re not related by blood, though.

**Reo:** We didn’t have any other choice but to choose our own family.

But, Kanata, you have Nayuta, right?

**Hokusai:** You have to protect… your important family.

**Satsuki:** Yeah! Don’t look down on elementary school graduate!

**Reo:** Waah~ how embarrasing!

**Hokusai:** Fufu…

**Satsuki:** Wh–, Hokusai, you too?

**Nayuta:** Kanata?

**Kanata:** …! Nayuta!!

**Nayuta:** What are you doing in a place like that?

**Kanata:** What, you ask–

**Satsuki:** More importantly, where’d you appear from suddenly!?

**Nayuta:** Kanata… these guys are Akan Yatsura’s…?

What are you doing together?

**Kanata:** You idiot! We were looking for you!!

**Nayuta:** Eh? “Looking”?

**Kanata:** Where were you all this time!?

**Nayuta:** Where, you ask… um, I couldn’t think of a good lyric, so I went out for a walk, and then I got lost, and I was tired so I took a nap somewhere, then… What did I do next?

**Satsuki:** Are you a stray cat!?

**Hokusai:** As I thought, I have to learn cat language…

**Nayuta:** Haha, what? What is it? Kanata, too, making such a scary face.

**Kanata:** Stop messing around!

How worried did you think I was!!?

**Nayuta:** Eh?

**Kanata:** Saying “go by yourself”, and disappearing…

**Nayuta:** Eh? What?

**Reo:** Kanata was worried that you got kidnapped by some punks.

**Satsuki:** He even bowed his head to us.

**Hokusai:** And searched for you desperately, you know?

**Nayuta:** Ooh… Seriously?

**Kanata:** Yeah…

**Nayuta:** No way… but…

**Kanata:** Quietly disappearing like that… I won’t forgive you.

**Nayuta:** Kanata…

**Kanata:** I don’t have anyone else but Nayuta.

Nayuta’s my only family.

That’s why, that’s why… don’t ever quietly disappear… don’t ever…

**Nayuta:** Kanata…

It’s okay.

I’m by your side.

Always, whenever, I’m always by Kanata’s side.

*(Sounds of them walking.)*

**Kanata:** …Sorry. I got you all to walk around a full day and you guys even treated us to food.

**Reo:** It’s okay, it’s okay. We put the tab on Big Bro, after all!

**Satsuki:** Raimen-tei’s soo yummy, right!? Honestly, I thought that cozmez’s detestable bastards with cocky music and attitude, but we actually get along, don’t we?

**Hokusai:** Haha. Then, we’ll part here.

**Reo:** Starting from now on, we’re rivals, okay?

**Satsuki:** Don’t get into a fight, 'kay!?

**Kanata:** U-uhm!

**Reo:** Yeah?

**Kanata:** If, if you guys were lied to by Suise– no, your family, what will you do?

**Reo:** Lie?

**Kanata:** Yeah. If kept an important thing secret.

**Satsuki:** Ha?

That’s no big deal, ain’t it?

Even though we’re family, we’d still have one or two secrets we can’t say.

**Reo:** Like the place where Satsuki-chan hides his favorite erotic magazines~

**Satsuki:** HAA!?

**Reo:** On the floor below the closet, it’s obvious!

**Satsuki:** You bastard-

**Kanata:** Not something like that! For example, if it has something to do with your lives…

**Satsuki, Reo & Hokusai:** …

**Hokusai:** Even so… no, if so, I’d believe them.

**Kanata:** Believe?

**Hokusai:** If so, it’s kept a secret to protect us.

A lie to protect your family.

I won’t doubt it.

**Kanata:** …!

**Satsuki:** Yeah, that’s right!

I’m satisfied if I had to put my life on the line for Big Bro.

**Reo:** Me too, when I decided to follow Big Bro, I’ve prepared myself, after all.

**Satsuki:** Right? Don’t look down on our chivalry!

**Hokusai:** Yeah.

**Reo:** Well, that’s that, so…

**Satsuki:** See ya!

The next time we meet, it’d be on the stage.

**Hokusai:** We won’t lose.

**Reo:** Prepare yourselves, okay~?

*(Satsuki, Reo & Hokusai walks away.)*

**Kanata:** Ah.

**Nayuta:** What’s wrong, Kanata?

**Kanata:** I missed the chance to say thank you to them.

**Nayuta:** Hahaha…

**Kanata:** What?

**Nayuta:** You made friends.

**Kanata:** Ha!?

**Nayuta:** It means, you have people other than me that you’d say 'thank you’ to.

**Kanata:** That’s…

**Nayuta:** Kanata.

Kanata, you can change.

You can get more, way stronger than you are now.

**Kanata:** That’s why I said that’s…

**Nayuta:** I’m with you.

“If the two of us are together, we’re the strongest”, right?

**Kanata:** …Yeah.

If the two of us are together, we’re the strongest.

**Iori:** That so? Good that y'all managed to find him.

Yeah, good job.

*(Iori hangs up.)*

**Zen:** Did they find Nayuta-kun?

**Iori:** Yeah.

**Zen:** The only thing we can do is to watch over them. It feels kind of vexing, isn’t it?

**Iori:** Yer right, but cozmez’s a strong opponent. Can’t let our guards down on the next live.

**Zen:** Of course, I will go all out! I have no intention to lose!

**Iori:** Yeah! Becoming of Akan Yatsura, let’s go merrily an’ flashily!

Ganmodoki means pseudo-goose This is because ganmodoki is said to taste like goose”. You can also put it in an *oden.*
