A/N: And here it is! A new chapter of the All Worlds Alliance Stories for this year! For now, I'll be writing three to four chapters of this fic before doing another Mission Fic!
Number01BlazblueFan - Madoka Kaname, Oohori and Arcanine's roles are indeed slightly inspired from Kagura, Shinpachi Shimura and Sadaharu while Kenji Kazama is loosely based from Leonard Church from Red vs Blue, Kenji's character can sometimes appear like Toushirou Hijikata. As for a Sougo Okita expy, I'm still thinking about it.
And with that done, let's get this chapter started!
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters appearing in this fic except if it's my OCs which rarely makes an appearance.
-Normal Earth-
Tokyo, Japan
It was a nice morning in Tokyo as we head towards a local restaurant. Then Kenji Kazama, Shinozaki, Madoka Kaname, Sayaka Miki and Kaoruko "Kaos" Moeta walking into view.
"What I'm saying is..." Kenji started, "... if we're going to perform... we need to do it in a place where people are guaranteed to witness our performance.'' he stated, "Hence... why I'm suggesting that we do our performance in CiRCLE.'' he pointed out.
Shinozaki tips his glasses, "While I do agree with your statement but I believe we should do a simple performance in much smaller and rent-free venue.'' he replied, "Like a garage for example.'' he pointed out.
"Our dorms don't have any garage and you know that!" Kenji exclaimed.
Sayaka spoke, "I agree with Kenji... I think performing in CiRCLE is the best place for you guys to start.'' she said in agreement, "I mean... it's where both Flash Drive and Chizuru's Band got their followings." she pointed out.
"And let's not forget about After School Tea Time." Madoka chimed in, "True, they've performed in several live houses before but CiRCLE is where their fame shot up to the roof!" she stated, "Plus... they're releasing an EP soon." she added.
"I think there is no harm in trying, Shinozaki." Sayaka advised with a smile, "You guys are really good, heck, you could even won the CHS' Battle of the Bands if you haven't dropped out, so I believe performing in CiRCLE will be a breeze for you guys." she stated.
Shinozaki thought about it while staring into somewhere else, much to his friends' discomfort before finally speaking, "Okay, you got me convinced.'' he complied, much to everyone's relief.
"Took you long enough." Kenji grumbled in annoyance.
"That is great!" Kaos chimed in with a smile, "I really look forward for you performance!" she exclaimed in excitement.
Kenji smiled and pats her head, "Thanks.'' he said in gratitude, making her giggle in delight.
"By the way... who are the other members of your band?'' Madoka asked.
"Well... I managed to recruit Ichika Orimura and Yuuki Asaba's twin brother, Yuuta." Shinozaki replied, "I believe the two of them are good enough for our band.'' he claimed.
"I hope they are as good as you thought." Sayaka said with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh... I'm telling they're..." Shinozaki was about to say when he notice a group of teens from one table, "... good.'' he finished, "Excuse me for a minute.'' he said before walking off.
"What's wrong with him?" Kaos asked in confusion.
"Everything is wrong with him." Kenji replied with a blank look, "His full name included.'' he added.
The four then watches Shinozaki approaches a table of a group consisting of four teens, one teenage boy and three teenage girls to be exact. The teenage boy has a short brown hair with a sharp ahoge on top and has brown eyes while wearing glasses. He wears a red blazer uniform jacket with yellow trimmings, patch and buttons over a white collared shirt with a blue necktie, khaki-colored slacks, white socks and brown loafers. This is Nariyuki Saiga.
The first teenage girl is pretty tall with a slim build. She has blue silky waist-length, bright blue hair with a white headband on top and has golden eyes. She wears a blue sweater over white collared shirt with a red ribbon tie, brown plait skirt with red linings, black socks and brown loafers. This is Fumino Furuhashi.
The second teenage girl is short with a well-endowed frame and a large bust. She has a short light brown hair and has blue eyes while wearing glasses. She wears a red blazer uniform jacket with yellow trimmings, patch and buttons over a white collared shirt with a red ribbon tie, brown plait skirt with red linings over a dark-brown pantyhose and brown loafers. This is Rizu Ogata.
The third teenage girl has a tanned skin tone and a slim figure. She has a shoulder-length violet hair with an ahoge on top and has pink eyes. She wears a white collared shirt with a red ribbon tie, a blue sweater wrapped around her waist, brown plait skirt with red linings and brown loafers. This is Uruka Takemoto.
The group were in the middle of studying when Uruka spoke, "Ne, what should we do after this?'' she asked with a excited with a smile.
Naruyuki looks at her in disbelief, "Really, Takemoto?'' he spoke, "We're still in the middle of our study session and your already thinking of something else?'' he stated.
"Why not?'' Uruka replied, "We've been studying for almost a week now and it's a nice weekend, we should at least enjoy it!" she explained, "Right, Fumino?'' she asked.
Fumino smiled, "I think so, too." she replied in agreement, "Plus... I think I pretty much understand what I need to know in this study session, so it'll be nice if I could relax after this.'' she explained.
Naruyuki thought about it and they realized that they had a point before turning to the girl next to him, "What do you think, Ogata-san?'' he asked.
Rizu stopped writing notes before looking up to him, "I... I don't mind...'' she replied.
"All right!" Uruka cheered excitedly, "So, what should we do after this?'' she asked with an eager face.
"At least let us finish our study session first before we talk about what we should do after this?!" Nariyuki scolded.
The four were so into their conversation that they didn't notice that Shinozaki has arrived at their table, the hippie-slash-nerd then slaps a hand on their table so hard that the four of them let's out a loud yelp in surprise, "Why hello, Nariyuki~" Shinozaki greeted, "No long time, no look.'' he mused.
Nariyuki then recognized him, "S-S-Shinozaki-nii! W-What are you doing here?!" he asked in shock.
"Well... my friends and I casually walks in this place and saw you at this table, so I decided to greet you." Shinozaki explained rather elaborately.
"Y-Yuiga-kun...'' Fumino spoke, "Do you know this person?'' she asked.
Nariyuki then turns to his female companions, "Oh? This is Shinozaki! He's a cousin of mine." he replied while introducing the nerd.
"Greetings, people of the opposite sex, my name is Shinozaki Shinozaki and as your only male companion just said, I am a cousin of his." Shinozaki introduced himself.
The girls looks at him weird before turning to Nariyuki as Fumino spoke, "Yuiga-kun, does he really talk like this?'' she asked in confusion.
"And is his name is his last name as well?!" Uruka added.
Nariyuki chuckled nervously, "Hehe... I know it's kinda weird but that just how he is.'' he replied.
Shinozaki looks at them, taking notice of the notes around the table, "I see... I see... doing some study session, huh?'' he mused, "As expected of my cousin, studying hard to get the VIP nomination for getting into a college.'' he pointed out, "I am so proud of you.'' he said with a smile.
Nariyuki rubs the back of his head, "T-Thanks..." he said with a nervous smile.
"By the way... may I ask the name of your studymates?'' Shinozaki requested.
"Oh! These are Fumino Furuhashi, Rizu Ogata and Uruka Takemoto." Nariyuki introduced the girls, "The headmaster from my school appointed me to tutor them to help them to attain their favorite universities.'' he explained.
"Tutoring, huh?'' Shinozaki cooed, "Lucky that you get tutor someone.'' he said in slight jealousy, "I asked the headmaster from school if I could tutor someone in school to boost their grades but it was shot down.'' he stated.
Kenji then walks towards him, "You have a large of list of ridiculous standards when comes to tutoring others, so I guess that's why the headmaster rejected your proposition.'' he stated with Madoka, Sayaka and Kaos catching up with him.
"I think my standards are pretty normal." Shinozaki replied.
"As if!" Kenji scoffed.
Nariyuki spoke, "Um... Shinozaki-nii... who are these people?'' he asked. And with that, both sides introduced themselves to each other with Fumino, Rizu and Uruka gushing over on how cute Kaos is, much to the mangaka's discomfort. Nariyuki then spoke, "I had no idea that you had these many friends, Shinozaki-nii.'' he stated in awe, "If you even made friends with three middle-schoolers.'' he pointed out.
Kaos looks down, "I'm... I'm actually a high-schooler...'' she muttered with distraught look.
"UWAAAH! GOME!" Nariyuki shrieked in apology, "I didn't mean to offend you!" he squawked in panic.
"Yuiga-san, you shouldn't make a girl cry." Fumino lightly scolded.
"I-I-It's fine..." Kaos reassured, "I'm already used to it.'' she admitted.
Sayaka then took notice of the notes scattered around the table, "Are you guys doing a study session?'' she pointed out, "Why are you guys studying in a fine weekend like this?'' she asked, "Are there are any upcoming exams in your school?'' she added.
Fumino chuckled, "No, we don't have any exams but we're studying to catch up with things that we don't understand.'' she explained.
"And Yuiga is helping us understand subjects that we find difficulty to comprehend." Rizu added.
Tears then began to flow down on Shinozaki's face, "My, my... my cousin is studying hard while at the same time is doing his best in helping others.'' he cried with a hard face, "Words can't describe how happy I am." he claimed.
"S-Shinozaki-nii?!" Nariyuki squawked in surprise.
"If you're happy then smile damn it!" Kenji exclaimed.
"Stop crying and save us from embarrassment!" Sayaka added in disbelief.
Fumino giggled before leaning towards Uruka, "They're an interesting people.'' she commented with a smile.
Uruka nodded, "Yeah. They look like that they can get along with others.'' she stated.
After that, Shinozaki then offered to assist Nariyuki with their studies, much to their appreciation. Thirty minutes later, the group finished studying and are now having lunch.
"Since we're done studying..." Uruka pointed out, "... what should we do?'' she asked with an eager grin.
"Even if you say that, I had no idea what should we do next." Nariyuki replied.
"Then how about we go karaoke or hang out in the mall?'' Uruka suggested.
"We've done that several times before." Rizu pointed out.
Kenji then spoke, "You guys wanted to do something? Then how about come to CiRCLE tonight and watch us perform." he suggested.
"What do you mean?'' Fumino asked.
"You see, Shinozaki and I are part of the band, and we plan on performing there tonight.'' Kenji replied.
Nariyuki turns to Shinozaki, "Eh? You're in a band?!" he exclaimed in shock.
"Indeed, I am." Shinozaki confirmed, "But Kenji... if I remember correctly, the list of bands performing tonight at CiRCLE tonight has been finalized, I think we shouldn't squeeze ourselves in there so we can perform." he stated.
Kenji grinned, "Oh, I'm aware of that." he admitted, "That's why I went there days ago and told Nagisa about our band, he then introduced me to a woman named Marina Tsukishima and voila, they added our band for tonight's event." he explained, "Convincing you is all I need to do and were all set for tonight." he mused.
Shinozaki stares at him for a minute before smiling, "Clever... very clever there, Kenji.'' he admitted with a very impressed look.
Sayaka then claps her hands, "Well that's that! So, what do you guys think?'' she asked Nariyuki and the girls.
"Isn't the price in watching events in live houses expensive?'' Nariyuki pointed out.
Shinozaki then placed a hand on his shoulders, "Don't worry, dear cousin of mine, I'll take care of the cost.'' he claimed with a thumbs-up.
Nariyuki and the girls were taken aback by this, "E-Eh?!" he squawked in response.
"A-Are you sure about this?'' Fumino asked in concern.
Shinozaki nodded, "You guys been studying hard and I commend you all for that." he replied, "Just think of this as an early reward for all your hard work.'' he said with a smile.
Nariyuki and the girls looks at each other before smiling, "Well... you insist.'' he complied.
Kenji grinned, "Well then... we'll see you guys tonight.'' he declared.
-BREAK-
Later that night at CiRCLE, we see a lot of people entering the studio to watch the night's event. A lot of spectators are already inside the stage area while a few people remains outside while waiting for their friends to arrive and the bands taking part of the event are the Rainbooms, Flash Drive featuring Marshmello, Poppin'Party, Hello, Happy World! and Kenji's band, From Better to Worse.
Currently at the moment, the Rainbooms are performing the song, Shake your Tail and Better Together.
Outside the venue, we see Shinozaki and Konata Izumi waiting for everyone to arrive. Shinozaki is currently wearing a white flowery T-shirt, blue jeans and sandals with a colorful headband wrapped around his head and wears a large dark glasses while Konata is currently wearing an over-sized shoulderless shirt with flowery design, ripped blue jeans and brown sandals and a beaded necklace around her neck.
"Sorry for the wait!" a voice called out.
Shinozaki and Konata turns around to see Nariyuki, Fumino, Rizu and Uruka walking towards them in their casual attires, "Are we late?'' Fumino asked. Fumino is currently wearing a white cardigan over a dark-blue collared frilled blouse with a red laced-tie, black skirt and a black laced ladies' shoes.
Rizu is currently wearing a yellow off-shoulder blouse over a red top, red pleated skirt over her black pantyhose and brown rubber shoes while Uruka is currently wearing a blue loose top over a pink blouse, blue denim shorts and white slip shoes and Nariyuki is currently wearing a green collared shirt with a necktie, black pants and white rubber shoes.
"The first band is already performing but our band will perform third to last, so it's fine." Shinozaki explained in reassurance, "By the way, cousin Nariyuki and female friends, I'd like you to meet Konata Izumi.'' he introduced the blue-haired girl next to him, "And no, Nariyuki, she's not a middle-schooler but she's a nineteen-years old college student.'' he clarified as Konata waved a hand in greeting.
"Oh? I see." Nariyuki replied.
"You're not surprised?'' Shinozaki asked.
Nariyuki rubs the back, "Well... you see... we're friends with another college student and we all thought she was a middle-schooler at first.'' he stated.
"It was big surprise for all us." Rizu admitted.
Konata grinned as she spoke, "This college student your talking about... is her name happened to be Asumi Kominami?'' she pointed out.
This taken Nariyuki and the girls aback, "E-Eh? Y-You know Kominami-senpai?!" Uruka asked in shock.
Konata chuckled, "She and I attends the same university and shares the same class schedules." she explained, "She did mentioned that she was hanging out with a bunch of high schoolers in cram school, I guess she was talking about you guys." she pointed out.
"I-I see..." Nariyuki replied while still in shock.
"Also, she's my girlfriend." Shinozaki added.
"EEEEEEEEEH?!" Nariyuki wailed in shock, "She's your girlfriend?" he asked while the girls had a look of awe on their faces.
Shinozaki nodded, "Is it hard to believe that I got myself a girlfriend?'' he pointed out.
Nariyuki shook his head, "No offense but from the last time we had a family get-together, you mentioned that you're only interested with 2D girls!" he stated.
Shinozaki chuckled, "Haha! That's true but things has changed since I met her.'' he admitted.
Konata then spoke, "Shinozaki and I had a lot in common and thanks to him, I'm doing a little bit better with my studies and even getting me interested with neurobiology.'' she explained, "Having him as my boyfriend is a real blessing.'' she said with a smile.
"Awww... that's so sweet." Fumino cooed.
Shinozaki then looks at Nariyuki, "I hope one day you get yourself a girlfriend after you've achieved your goals.'' he mused.
Nariyuki's face turns red, "W-W-What are you talking about, Shinozaki-nii?! Don't say something like that?!" he exclaimed in embarrassment.
Fumino, Rizu and Uruka blushed upon imagining Nariyuki getting a girlfriend which Konata took notice, "Oho? Looks like Shinozaki's cousin got him a little harem here~" she mused in her thoughts.
Kenji then arrives and walks towards them. Kenji is currently wearing an orange jacket over a yellow shirt with bloodstained designs, black pants, blue rubber shoes and a brown fedora on his head, "Hey, nerd! The Rainbooms are done, we're next to perform once Flash Drive is done!'' he called out.
"It's Super Nerd.'' Shinozaki corrected, "Anyway... you guys should head towards the audience area with Konata.'' he advised, "I'm pretty sure that Madoka and the others are already inside.'' he stated.
Konata nodded, "Okay!" she replied with thumbs-up, "Let's go, guys!" she egged walking forward with the four following her.
"Good-luck, Shinozaki-nii." Nariyuki said.
"Give us a good show!" Uruka cheered in excitement.
Shinozaki crosses his arms, "Oh! We'll give you one.'' he mused with a grin.
Meanwhile on stage, Flash Sentry, Sandalwood, Brawley Beat and Ringo are performing alongside Marshmello with a song called Proud.
Hold on, hear me out
Empty rooms can be so loud
I just wanna let you know I'm proud
I just wanna let you know I'm proud
Close your eyes, tune them out
You're right here, with me now
I just wanna let you know I'm proud
I just wanna let you know I'm proud
As the crowd are enjoying the collaboration of Flash Drive and Marshmello, we go to the far back to see Madoka, Sayaka and Kaos watching on a veranda when Konata and the others arrives, and approaches them.
Madoka is currently wearing a pink hoodie jacket over a yellow blouse, pink frilled skirt, white socks and brown loafers while Sayaka is currently wearing a blue cardigan over a white blouse with black frills and yellow ribbon tie, gray denim short with black belt over black tights and white rubber shoes and Kaos is currently wearing a brown jumper dress over a yellow turtleneck, white socks, red & white rubber shoes and a large brown newsboy cap.
"Hey girls!" Konata called out.
The three girls turns to them, "Oh! Hey, Konata!" Madoka greeted.
"It's good to see you girls, again." Fumino greeted.
Sayaka nodded, "Likewise" she replied with a grin.
Konata and Rizu then stood next to Kaos and everyone took notice that all three of them shares the same height, "What is it?'' Rizu asked taking notice of their looks.
Everyone shook their heads, "Nothing.'' they replied, much to her confusion.
Meanwhile at the backstage area, we see Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity Belle, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Arisa Ichigaya, Kasumi Toyama, Rimi Ushigome, Saaya Yamabuki, Tae Hanazono, Hagumi Kitazawa, Kanon Matsubara, Kaoru Seta, Kokoro Tsurumaki and Misaki "Michelle" Okusawa, all wearing their band attires, watching Flash Drive & Marshmello's performance on a large HDTV screen.
"Sugoi! The guys are doing great in their performance!" Kasumi exclaimed in awe.
"Flash's singing aside... that Marshmello's music is really something." Saaya commented with a smile.
Kokoro then turns to Michelle, "You think you can create music alongside Marshmello-san?" she asked with an eager.
Michelle shrugged her shoulders, "If he's up for it." she replied.
"I think that's a good idea." Kanon said in agreement.
Sunset then leans towards Twilight, "Glad that Mister Marshmello never lost his passion for music after being enslaved for months.'' she whispered.
Twilight nodded, "Good thing he did because I'm already loving his music.'' she admitted with a smile.
Rainbow looks around the room, "Has anyone seen Kenji and the guys?'' she asked, "They're next to perform after this!" she pointed out.
Suddenly, the doors open and in came Kenji, "Present.'' he quipped with Shinozaki, Ichika Orimura and Yuuta Asaba following him from behind. Ichika is currently wearing a black polo shirt with folded sleeves over a white pint-striped, black skinny jeans, gray boots and white-rimmed shades with red visors on top of his head while Yuuta is currently wearing a black hoodie jacket over a yellow turtleneck shirt, white pants with black ring-like lines and brown shoes.
"Hey guys!" Sunset greeted, "You guys ready for your first performance since the Battle of the Bands?'' she questioned with a smile.
Kenji grins in response, "Oh! We're more than ready!" he declared.
"Not that I don't mind Ichika and Yuuta in your group but it's quite sad to see that Ben, Allen and Edward couldn't rejoined your band." Rarity admitted.
"Well... all three of them are busy on their own right, so it can't be help." Kenji replied, "Besides... Ichika and Yuuta are pretty good, so I'm sure will have an awesome performance like we did back in the Battle of the Bands." he claimed with a grin.
Ichika rubs the back of his head, "This is my first time though, so I'm pretty nervous.'' he admitted.
"Ditto." Yuuta chimed in agreement.
"Ah think ya boys will do just fine." Applejack reassured.
Shinozaki then spoke, "And after this... we're going to an after party, everyone are invited and Kenji is treating us!" he announced.
"Why the hell do I have to treat you guys?!" Kenji demanded.
"Why not.'' Shinozaki replied with a smile.
"That's not a reason!" Kenji exclaimed, "Give me a good reason why I should be the one treating you dumbasses!" he demanded.
"That's the reason, why not." Shinozaki clarified which infuriates the orange-haired architect further as everyone bursts out in laughter.
As Kenji fumes in annoyance, Arisa walks towards him two cans of soda in hand, she handed one soda to Kenji which he gladly accepted and with that, the two short-tempered members of the group took a sip of their drink to ease away their angry minds.
Back at the audience area, Flash Drive and Marshmello are currently performing their final song for the night.
Know that means I'll have to leave
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
So I'll go, I'll go
I will go, go, go
So I'll go, I'll go
I will go, go, go
After finishing the song, the crowd, mostly the girls, let's out a loud applause even Nariyuki, Fumino, Rizu and Uruka are clapping their hands in awe from the performance.
"Thanks, everyone!" Flash said in gratitude, "And big thanks to Marshmello!" he pointed out as everyone let's out a loud cheer as Marshmello waves his hands in gratitude.
As Flash Drive and Marshmello left stage as everyone waited for the next band, Ryuuko Matoi arrives. Ryuuko is currently wearing a gray shirt underneath a brown vest with a scarf around her neck, blue skinny jeans and white & black rubber shoes.
"Hey, guys!" Ryuuko called out getting their attention, "Has Kenji's band performed already?'' she asked.
"Nope! Kenji's band is about to perform next." Konata replied.
As this is going on, Kenji, Shinozaki, Ichika and Yuuta got on stage and most of the crowd who don't know are now wondering who they are but they can all agree the guys on stage are pretty hot... well... in this eyes of Konata, Shinozaki is hot.
Kenji then stood in front of the mic, "Hello there.'' he greeted, "You're probably wondering who we are but we are called From Better to Worse.'' he introduced themselves, "And were excited to perform since this is our first time to perform after a long time.'' he stated, "So... I hope you all enjoy our performance.'' he said as the crowd are eager to hear their music.
And with that, Shinozaki, Ichika and Yuuta began to play their respective instruments as Kenji began to sing:
I'm good to go
And I'm going nowhere fast
It could be worse
It could be taking you there with me
I'm good to go
But it looks like I'm still on my own
I'm good to go
For something golden
Though the motions I've been going through have failed
And I'm coasting on potential towards a wall
At a 100 miles an hour
When I say
Two more weeks
My foot is in the door (yeah)
I can't sleep
In the wake of Saturday (Saturday)
Saturday
When these open doors were open-ended
Saturday
When these open doors were open-ended
Pete and I attacked the laws of Astoria
with promise and precision and mess of youthful innocence
And I read about the afterlife
But I never really lived more than an hour (more than an hour)
When I say
Two more weeks
My foot is in the door (yeah)
I can't sleep
In the wake of Saturday (Saturday)
Saturday
When these open doors were open-ended
Saturday
When these open doors were open-ended
And I read about the afterlife
But I never really lived
And I read about the afterlife
But I never really lived
Two more weeks
My foot is in the door
Me and Pete
In the wake of Saturday
Saturday
When these open doors were open-ended
Saturday
When these open doors were open-ended
Saturday
Saturday
After finishing the song, the crowd let's out an applause as the boys took a bow in gratitude, "Thank you very much!" Kenji exclaimed in gratitude, "Are you ready for our next song?'' he asked as the crowd cheered in response.
As band began to play their next song, the scene changes back to Konata and the others, "Wow! I expected them to be good but not THIS good." Ryuuko commented in awe.
"And Shinozaki doing a scream is something I never expected." Sayaka admitted.
"Oh... I hope his throat is doing all right from all that screaming." Fumino said in concern.
Nariyuki shrugged his shoulders, "It's fine, Furuhashi.'' he reassured, "Shinozaki-nii is quite a screamer and doesn't suffer any soar throats from it." he stated.
"It is because he got chased by a chicken when he was a child?" Konata pointed out with a grin.
"Oh? So, he told you about that?" Nariyuki mused.
"Chicken?'' Rizu repeated.
"It's a long story." Nariyuki replied with a grin.
And after Hello, Happy World and Poppin'Party finished their performances, the event is done! And after waiting for the crowd to leave, the five bands alongside Nariyuki, Fumino, Rizu, Uruka, Konata, Madoka, Sayaka, Kaos and Ryuuko decided to go to a family restaurant for an after party and are seen walking the streets with Flash, Sandalwood, Brawley and Ringo walking ahead of them as the Rainbooms catches up with them.
"You guys were really good back there, Shinozaki-nii! Never knew that your constant screaming back in the days will come in handy." Nariyuki complimented.
"Well... I did a lot practice to make sure that my screaming fits the song and good thing it came our right." Shinozaki stated.
"So, are you guys going to perform now and then?'' Fumino asked.
Shinozaki nodded, "Yeah... but only in weekends.'' he confirmed, "We still go to school after all.'' he clarified.
Nariyuki chuckled, "Haha! You have a point.'' he said.
Meanwhile, we see Kenji, Arisa and Ryuuko walking alongside each other and Ryuuko took notice how close Kenji and Arisa at the moment. Then again, both of them shares the same level of anger issues and being surrounded by uncontrollable company, so they probably sympathized with each other.
Ryuuko then remembers something, "Hey, Kenji." she called getting his attention, "I was wondering why Chizuru's band did not partake in the event?'' she pointed out, "CiRCLE is kinda like their stomping grounds, so I find it a surprise that their band didn't perform tonight.'' she stated.
Kenji thought about it, "Huh? You're right." he said in agreement, "What happened to that moron?'' he muttered in confusion.
Ichika overheard them as he spoke, "Oh! I was told that Chizuru decided to visit Yoshika to wherever she is right now." he said, "I heard that he plans of serenading her.'' he added.
Suddenly, Kenji and Ryuuko froze on their tracks as Arisa turns to them, "What's up with you two?'' the pigtailed blonde asked in confusion.
Kenji and Ryuuko looks at each other with anxious looks, "Why do I had a bad feeling about that?'' the former confessed.
"The feelings the same." Ryuuko replied in agreement.
