SFX: Knock-knock [Kenta's knocking on Nayuta's door]

Kenta: Can I come in?

[Nayuta opens the door and presumably lets Kenta in]

Nayuta: What?

Kenta: How's working on the new song?

Nayuta: There's no problem. I don't need anyone else's help

Kenta: Hm, I see. There were still some undecided parts of the arrangement, how did that turn out?

Nayuta: ...I'm just getting started

Kenta: ...Nayuta. The demo I gave to the office still had some sweetness in its composition

Kenta: That's what they prodded me with this time...You knew that, didn't you?

Nayuta: ...Did you come here just to say that?

Kenta: No, not at all. I've got an idea for the new song arrangement

Nayuta: ...tell me

Kenta: Listen to this

[He plays Reon's arrangement]

Nayuta: ...guitar duet, huh

Kenta: Interesting, isn't it? Reon brought it to me. It's an unexpected arrangement that we haven't tried yet

Nayuta: ...Hey, get your guitar

Kenta: Yeah, gladly

[Kenta goes to get his guitar]

Nayuta: I'll do Misono's part. We'll start at the end of the chorus

[They start playing together]

Kenta: What do you think?

Nayuta: ...not bad. But it's still not enough

[They start playing it again]

Nayuta: Satozuka, match me

Kenta: ...yeah

Kenta: (This is it...the moment when something inside Nayuta clicks together and a new sound is created...)

Kenta: (I'm here to feel this moment)

Nayuta: ...Okay, go in this direction. Strengthen the guitar throughout the song as well

Kenta: ...it's excellent

Nayuta: Of course

Kenta: ...Nayuta

Nayuta: What is it

Kenta: ......

Nayuta: Why'd you stop talking

Kenta: You write your own music. I'll take care of everything else

Nayuta: ......

Nayuta: ...yeah, I'll be relying on you

Kenta: ...that's unusual

Nayuta: Shut up.

Nayuta: I'll finish it by morning. Let Misono practice

Kenta: Yeah

Nayuta: Also if you have an opinion, tell me directly next time

Kenta: Heh...I got it

SFX: Thud [Kenta leaves and closes the door behind him]

Kenta: Now, all that's left is the agency...

Kenta: (I should be prepared, there's no such thing as too much...)

~ Location: The Agency ~ 

Kenta: I'm sorry for taking up so much of your time

Person in Charge: No, I don't mind. Are you alone today, Satozuka-kun?

Kenta: Yes

Person in Charge: Can you give me an answer?

Kenta: Before we talk, I would like to ask you to listen to this first

Person in Charge: This is?

Kenta: It's the new song that has just been completed

[he plays EGOIST]

Person in Charge: This is...good. Especially the guitar duet, that part is really good

Person in Charge: It's an evolution from your previous songs...no, it's amazing

Kenta: Thank you

Kenta: How is it? Do you think it still needs to be fixed?

Person in Charge: ...Certainly, I think this is good enough. It feels like I was shown a new side of the band

Kenta: Then...

Person in Charge: But it's not that simple this time. No matter how good the finished song is

Person in Charge: I was approached by a big producer in person. How could I turn down such a good offer? 

Person in Charge: You understand don't you, Satozuka-kun? How beneficial this offer is

Kenta: ...yes, well

Person in Charge: Wouldn't it be better to have a little patience? Think of how much you could gain from this

Kenta: ......

-------......,-------...... [phone ringing]

Person in Charge: Sorry, I got a phone call. Do you mind if I take it?

Kenta: Go ahead

[they answer the phone]

Person in Charge: ...yes, oh, thank you for your assistance! This time about GYROAXIA...yes...eh?

Kenta: ......

Person in Charge: No...yes! No, not at all! There's no problem here! Now, if you'll excuse me!

SFX: Ping! [they hang up]

Kenta: Did something happen?

Person in Charge: No...the producer said...

Kenta: Were you told to...give up on this matter?

Person in Charge: Huh?! Did you hear it?!

Kenta: No. Somehow, the thought just appeared in my head

Person in Charge: ...Actually, that's right. He said he was busy with another urgent matter

Kenta: I see. That's too bad

Kenta: But...if that's the case, that means there's no problem with our arrangement for our new song

Person in Charge: Eh? Ah, yeah, that's right...

Kenta: That's all we need to know

Person in Charge: ...There's no way but, Satozuka-kun. Did you-

Kenta: Excuse me, it's about time I go. I have other things to do

Person in Charge: Ah, okay...

Kenta: Oh, right

Kenta: For us GYROAXIA, what Asahi Nayuta makes is absolute

Kenta: That will never change. Now or in the future...well then, I'll take my leave

Kenta: - Yes, I understand. I will tell the members that. Thank you for your continued support.

[Kenta hangs up the phone]

Reon: Kenta-san, could that phone call be...?

Kenta: Yeah. The new song is now officially being released as Nayuta's own song

Reon: Alright!!

Miyuki: Not bad...what kind of tricks did you use?

Kenta: I didn't do anything

Miyuki: I wonder...come to think of it, isn't that producer working with a different young band now?

Reon: Oh, I heard that too. I'm pretty sure they're from the same agency as us, aren't they?

Miyuki: Yes, yes. Both the producer and band were overjoyed, saying "It's a fateful encounter!" 

Miyuki: And the agency was also pleased

Ryo: A win-win situation?

Kenta: I see. I suppose it turned out to be a happy ending, right?

Miyuki: You're obviously pretending to be blind, this is too good to be true...

Kenta: Oh, by the way, I heard that the new song is quite well received. He said that he would promote the song based off its quality

Ryo: That's right. I'm glad, Nayuta. Oh, and Reon too!

Reon: I-I didn't really...

Nayuta: ......it's a natural outcome

[he leaves and goes to his room...lol]

Reon: Really that guy, isn't he being a too cold? He should at least be a little happy

Ryo: Hey, Kenken. You've been so busy lately, why don't you relax a little today?

Kenta: I'd like to but...I still have a little more work to take care of with this matter

Reon: Huh? Isn't everything taken care of?

Kenta: I've made a bit of a bad impression on the agency this time. I'd like to get rid of that

Kenta: I'll have to follow up with the producer

Miyuki: No mistakes anywhere...just how much of a perfectionist are you?

Ryo: Kenken is a hard worker

[the screen fades to black and shifts to Kenta on the phone with the producer]

Producer: It was just as you suggested. I really enjoyed working with the band that was introduced to me

Kenta: I'm glad to hear you say so. I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble this time

Producer: No no, rather, I should thank you...oh yeah, I also got to hear GYROAXIA's new song

Kenta: How was it?

Producer: I'm glad I didn't end up working with you guys. You should stick to your own music

Kenta: ...Thank you. I'll let the members know. Then I'll hang up first

[the phone call ends, and gyro's in the practice studio]

Reon: Were you on the phone with the producer?

Kenta: Yeah, this is all I needed to take care of

Miyuki: Yes yes, you're a hard worker, aren't you?

Ryo: Good work, Kenken

Nayuta: Hey, Misono. Get in the studio. We need to make some adjustments to the duet

Reon: Haa?! I thought we had a 15-minute break! It's too hard to play the new song over and over again

Nayuta: ...ah?

Kenta: Nayuta, I'll take Reon's place for a while. You guys can rest a little more

Reon: Really, that person will do anything...for the sake of the band

Miyuki: For the band...

Ryo: Hmm?

Miyuki: After all, he's-

[the screen fades to black]

Kenta: I'll...do whatever it takes

Kenta: For the sake of his songs

Kenta: To push Asahi Nayuta into the world...
