"An Unexpected Proposal"
*translated using deepl and various jp to en dictionaries, mistakes may be made

Ren: Nayuta-kun...is he okay?! Can he still sing?!

Kenta: There's no need to panic. It's already settled down by now. He also has the doctor's permission to participate in the Fes

Ren: ...I see...I'm glad

Kenta: *he laughs softly* That's just like you

Ren: Because, if Nayuta-kun can't sing anymore then...

Kenta: There's no competition, huh?

Ren: No, I'm just...! ...If Nayuta-kun wasn't able to sing anymore, I'd be very sad

Kenta: ...Well, the live's over now, so I'm going to make him rest for a little while

Kenta: I told him that a short while ago, and he gave me a look of utter disapproval

Ren: ....I understand a little, about how Nayuta-kun feels

Kenta: Hmm?

Ren: A while ago, I was told that I was practicing too much and they forced me to stop singing for a while

Ren: It was only two days but...it felt like a very long time, and I couldn't stop the feeling of wanting to sing

Kenta: Really, no matter where you go all vocalists are the same

Ren: Um...I'm sorry...

Kenta: *he chuckles* ...that's right, Nanahoshi-kin, are you busy tomorrow?

Ren: Tomorrow? I don't think I have any plans in particular...

Kenta: I see, then you came at a good time

Ren: ......?

Kenta: Why don't you take Nayuta out so he can get a change of pace? If I take my eyes off of him, he's going to immediately go back to singing

Ren: ...............eh? Eeeeeh?!

[the screen fades to black and now we're at Argonavis' Sharehouse]

Banri: - And so, have you decided to go out with Nayuta-kun tomorrow?

Ren: Y-Yeah...

Wataru: Sorry, Ren...my brother forced you to

Ren: No. I wanted to talk to Nayuta-kun, so it's fine but-

[screen fades to black]

Rio: You don't know where to go, huh

Ren: I...didn't have any friends, so I don't know about these things...what should I do with Nayuta-kun?

Yuuto: After all it's karaoke, right? I mean, you're both vocalists

Wataru: The purpose of this is to make Asahi rest right? Then there'd be no point if they did that

Banri: What if they went to go get some exercise? Like bowling or the batting cage

Rio: Nanahoshi injured his legs didn't he? Even if it's a minor injury, he should avoid exercise

Wataru: Then, a movie?

Ren: Nayuta-nun might leave halfway through...

Yuuto: This is definitely a difficult problem...

Rio: ...back when I played baseball, I had to take some time off because of an injury

Banri: What did you do at that time?

Rio: I was at home listening to music and playing the piano

Yuuto: So you got absorbed into your hobby

Wataru: But...does Asahi have any interest in anything other than music?

Rio: No matter how much you try to understand the other person, you'll never know

Rio: In that case, there's no other choice than for Nanahoshi to take Asahi to a place where he himself would go to feel better

Ren: A place that makes me feel better...Aah, that's right! It has to be over there!!

Ren: I'm sure Nayuta-kun will be immersed in it...no, it'll be a dream space!![1]

Yuuto: Somehow I'm...getting a little worried

Banri: Me too...

[1](he says "夢宙" here like in "Chou Muchuu Sentai Star Five" so you can Guess where this is going. The full nuance for what this line is though is that Ren says "夢中" the first time. Both are pronounced the same but have different meanings- it's essentially wordplay)
