~ After the Hero Live Show ~

Ren: *pleased sigh* ...amazing. "Star Five" really is cool...

Haruka: ......... *he also lets out a pleased sigh*

Ryo: That was amazing, Nayuta. Even though they're just earthlings, they can move like that

Nayuta: I wouldn't know. I'm leaving.

Ren: ...um, Nayuta-kun

Nayuta: I don't want to hear about your Star whatever

Ren: Were you able to leave feeling a little better...?

Nayuta: ......Hah? (he's genuinely surprised here, not irritated)

Ren: That...because it must be painful to not be able to sing. I wanted to help you feel a little better...I thought...

Nayuta: Tch, you don't need to worry about me. ...Did Satozuka send you?

Ren: Yeah, Kenta-san asked me to invite you. I also wanted Nayuta-kun to get better too

Ren: ...because I want Nayuta-kun to sing with all his might at the Fes

Nayuta: ...what, are you saying you're looking down on me?

Ren: Eh?

Nayuta: I've said it before...I will absolutely win LRFes.

Nayuta: I'll do whatever it takes to crush the other bands, including Argonavis, and that brat's band

Haruka: .........

Nayuta: I'm aiming for the world. I don't have time for detours. I don't have time to worry about other people

Ren: ......no.

Nayuta: ......Aah?

Ren: There's no winning or losing in music. To destroy someone's dream in order to move forward...it's not right

Nayuta: ...say whatever you want.

Ren: .........

Nayuta: Let's go. It's better to just stay at home. [he walks away]

Ryo: Wait, Nayuta. Ren-kun, thank you for inviting us today.

Ren: I'm sorry. I wasn't able to be of any help to Nayuta-kun.

Ryo: Hmm~ ...I don't think that's the case though?

Ren: Eh...?

Nayuta: ...hey. Which way is the station?

Ryo: I'm coming now. I'll see you, Ren-kun, and Haruka-kun too. I'm looking forward to the Fes [he leaves]

Ren: ......

Haruka: ......Hey

Ren: Huh?

Haruka: If you say there's no such thing as winning or losing...then, why did you come to the Fes?

Ren: That is...

Haruka: There will be wins and losses

Haruka: Winning and showing your strength...if I don't get recognized, then there's no meaning

Ren: ...that's wrong

Haruka: Hah...?

Ren: That's definitely wrong......music is......bands are......

Ren: I'm not singing for that...singing to destroy someone's dreams, that sort of thing...

Haruka: ...suit yourself...see you
