**Aizome Kento**
**... The truth is, I planned to have just a talk, but it turned into a fight beyond imagination.**

**Ashu Yuta**
**When I saw them coming back from the park, I was so shocked I thought my heart was gonna beat out of my chest.**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**You're overreacting.**

**Ashu Yuta**
**I'm not!**

**Sumisora Tsubasa**
**Uhm, what exactly did happen to the two of you?**

**Aizome Kento**
**Mpfh, well... I beheaved like a kid, too, that time.**

**Recollection**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**So? What do you wanna talk about?**

**Aizome Kento**
**Nothing much, really? I have nothing in particular I want to tell you.**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**The hell? You gotta be kidding me.**

**Aizome Kento**
**I'm not.**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**I don't get it. Why did you call for me, then?**

**Aizome Kento**
**... We have to do something about this half-baked situation and that's why I thought we should lay everything on the table and have a heart‐to‐heart talk here.**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**Heart‐to‐heart... 's there even a point in such a thing?**

**Aizome Kento**
**See, is there even a point in blowing up right away at me like that, then?**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**...**

**Aizome Kento**
**Besides, it also puts Yuuta out.**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**You wanna talk because it puts Ashu out? You're for real?**

**Aizome Kento**
**I am, is there something wrong with it?**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**For someone selfish who doesn't care about others, there sure is.**

**Aizome Kento**
**You're not wrong there, but we're in the same group, I thought I'd meet you halfway​.**

**Aizome Kento**
**That's why I went through the trouble of calling you, considerng how obstinate you always are.**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**Tch, the way you say it gets on my nerves.**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**The same goes for you. You say you want to have a heart‐to‐heart talk, but you ain't in the mood for that at all, right?**

**Aizome Kento**
**... What do you mean?**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**Even though you're the one nagging, ain't you always flirting with people around you with that knowing look of yours?**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**Can you even have a conversation with that kinda guy?**

**Aizome Kento**
**Hey, how much of a kid can you be? It's not like we could say what we wanted when we had just debuted?**

**Aizome Kento**
**Haah... Frankly, I think your debut was rushed, Goushi. I don't want to be held back anymore.**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**What d'you say!?**

**Aizome Kento**
**... Did you think I'd flinch if you intimidated me like that? If you're that simple-minded, I'd be troubled.**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**Bastard!**

**Aizome Kento**
**That... hurt!**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**Gh...!**

**Aizome Kento**
**I can't let it end here!**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**You just want to go solo, don't you?! You only think of THRIVE as stepping stone!**

**Aizome Kento**
**You have no right to judge me! Even if we're like this, the fans are there for us. There's absolutely no way I would let them be sad.**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**Hah! There he is, tryina be cool. Keep the fans out of your desire for recognition!**

**Aizome Kento**
**... You-!**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**What's that!?**

**Aizome Kento**
**Even if it has to do with my desire for recognition, I'm working hard to be acknowledged by everyone and I'm thinking and acting to entertain them.**

**Aizome Kento**
**But you, you don't even turn to your fans, Goushi.**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**What did you say......?**

**Aizome Kento**
**I know you want to do music rather than being an idol. So you're just using your current job as an excuse, right?**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**I do my job properly!**

**Aizome Kento**
**Says the guy who puts on an ugly face during the shoots.**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**That's... if I put together the best performance during the lives, the fans will come on their own.**

**Aizome Kento**
**Pft, that arrogance is also a good bit of yours.**

**Aizome Kento**
**But jut making a good song, having a good performance... don't you think that's a conceited idea, too?**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**For how long are you guys going to act foolishly? I can see where the current performances stand.**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**I'm also aware that we lack everything!**

**Aizome Kento**
**...!**

**Aizome Kento**
**I know, you don't have to tell me!**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**Haah... haa... For a fucking narcissist, you sure are stubborn...**

**Aizome Kento**
**Being a narcissist has nothing to do with stubbornness, though.**

**Aizome Kento**
**Anyway, I don't know about you, but beating each other in the park is too lame...**

**Aizome Kento**
**And my face to boot. As an idol you need to be more self-aware!**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**You bastard hit my face, too! Besides, you started it, so I'm not gonna apologize.**

**Aizome Kento**
**It's not like I wanted you to apologize, anyway.**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**Tch... You really piss me off.**

**Aizome Kento**
**........... Geez.**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**Now what?**

**Aizome Kento**
**No, somehow it suddenly feels ridiculous. Can I go home already?**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**That should be my line!**

**Sumisora Tsubasa**
**Something like that between Aizome-san and Kaneshiro-san...**

**Ashu Yuta**
**It's truly unbelievable, right! For idols to fight!**

**Aizome Kento**
**That time Yuuta had a really ferocious expression on his face, he was angry. It made me feel like my fight with Goushi was nothing.**

**Sumisora Tsubasa**
**Eh, Yuuta-kun?**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**Yeah, that freaked the hell outta me.**

**Ashu Yuta**
**W- Wait~! Don't be so dramatic~! You're frightening Tsubasa-chan!**

**Aizome Kento**
**We're not exaggerating.**

**Ashu Yuta**
**I mean! Even though I couldn't believe you two had a fight, you also looked refreshed!**

**Ashu Yuta**
**Both your faces and bodies were covered with bruises, it made me worry and that turned into anger...**

**Ashu Yuta**
**I felt like I was the only one being left out, you know!?**

**Aizome Kento**
**Yeah, yeah, we apologized.**

**Ashu Yuta**
**You won't fight ever again, right? But if you do, let me in too!!**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**You stupid or what? That sorta thing won't happen ever again.**

**Sumisora Tsubasa**
**... I somehow envy you.**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**Hah? Envy what, exactly?**

**Sumisora Tsubasa**
**I do not think that hitting each other is a good thing, but the present exists because back then you talked openly and honestly for the first time.**

**Sumisora Tsubasa**
**Because of that, you have found friends with whom you can tackle problems head‐on, it's wonderful.**

**Aizome Kento**
**When you put it like that, it's strangely embarrassing, though...**

**Aizome Kento**
**Still, even now, it's not like we understand each other.**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**Of course, that stuff comin' from you pisses me off.**

**Aizome Kento**
**Pff.**

**Sumisora Tsubasa**
**But I think it's because both of you think of THRIVE as something special that the fight didn't take it apart.**

**Sumisora Tsubasa**
**Isn't there a deep understanding in that sense?**

**Ashu Yuta**
**Right, right~! Wanna make this our autobiography!?**

**Ashu Yuta**
**We'll name the 1st chapter "The secret story behind THRIVE's formation, afterglow of a youthful fist fight" or something!**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**Stop it!!**

**Sumisora Tsubasa**
**Fufu! How was work after that, then?**

**Aizome Kento**
**Well, not everything was good at first, but it was better than before the fight.**

**Aizome Kento**
**If I'm not mistaken, this magazine... take a look, here. It was taken around that period.**

**Sumisora Tsubasa**
**Ah... the atmosphere considerably changed.**

**Ashu Yuta**
**Our reputation was reeeeeally good, too. ♪**

**Ashu Yuta**
**Gouchin and Kenken still did bicker, but nothing to feel uneasy about anymore.**

**Ashu Yuta**
**Hey, hey, do you remember? That time the 3 of usーー**

**Aizome Kento**
**Let's stop this conversation already. Let's talk about work now, Tsubasa.**

**Sumisora Tsubasa**
**Ah, sure!! I will go fetch the documents!**

**Sumisora Tsubasa**
**(Their current team work was built by overcoming difficulties I don't know about.)**

**Sumisora Tsubasa**
**(I'm happy I got to know one of them.)**
