🖤 Eh—? These ikemen…?!
🎀 The one on the right’s Ena’s lil’ bro.
🖤 Really?! Isn’t it cheating to have a handsome little brother?
🎨 Hah? But he’s so cheeky I’d rather give him away…?
🖤 What about the one next to him? Tell me!
🎨 Yeah yeah… that’s Touya-kun. Akito’s partner.
🥞 He’s moving…
☕️ … And talking?
☕️ …! Akito, are you okay? Since…
🥞 Hah? Well, you’re right, but… it’s not a problem.
☕️ I see. I’m glad.
🛹 Is something wrong with me?
☕️ No, it’s nothing.
🥞 ... Let's go, Touya.
🥞 Hm? What are you smiling about?
☕️ You are too. Aren't you nervous?
🥞 I got over that a while ago. Now, I'm just--
🥞 Surpassing it. That's all I'm thinking about.
☕️ Yeah. I agree.
☕️ Let's go, Akito. Let's make our dreams come true.
☕️ It’s a really nice photo. Come to think of it, Akito also had a good sense for posing and doodling with print stickers…
🎨 I don’t like getting compared to Akito, but… what? Print stickers? He did that?
☕️ Ah…! Excuse me, but could you please forget what I just said?
🥞 … What’re you smilin’ about? We just got here.
☕️ Everywhere I look, there’s lots of people who are having fun. I thought that was nice.
🥞 Hmm… I mean, that’ll be you in a bit, right? Don’t act like a stranger.
☕️ That’s true, surely…
🥞 You can still keep going, right?
☕️ Yeah, of course. As your partner, I can’t afford to give a performance inferior to yours.
🥞 That so? ‘Course, I can’t go losing to you either.
☕️ Yeah.
🐹 Thanks, Aoyagi-kun! But… are you really sure about modeling?
☕️ Yeah. In exchange, could you give me some of the prize chocolates?
☕️ I remember Akito mentioning how he wanted to eat them again.
🐹 Sure! There’s a bonbon as a prize, so you can give that to Shinonome-kun.
☕️ Earlier, KAITO-san said we’re similar to Souma-san and Touno-san.
☕️ “The way you both love your partners, and the way you really want to surpass RAD WEEKEND… it’s similar.”
🍦 Ah, now that I think about it, we did talk about that…
🥞 Oi... is it that much of a surprise?
☕️ No, but... I never thought Akito would pet a dog. Maybe tomorrow, a hot spring will suddenly appear in the park.
🥞 ... What's that for.
🥞 (I gave top-batter to those guys, but—)
🥞 To move upward through clashing with your partner, isn't your privilege alone!
☕️ (We both looked toward each other—we looked at what we didn't have, and we ran upward.)
☕️ (I hope I can be a worthy partner!)
🥞You’re in a different class this year, huh. It’s a pain to call you for lunch every time…
☕Yes. But I think there’s positive aspects as well.
🥞Like?
☕Well, probably… I feel like if we were in the same class, I’d end up talking to you all the time.
🎧 Isn't it rare for Akito to ask for that though?
🐹 Maybe it's related to him being late today?
🥞 Ah... actually...
☕️ Akito's in a disc dog competition?!
🎧 Wah! Hey, Touya, keep your voice down...!
☕️ S-Sorry... I was just so surprised...
☕️ Akito, you too — did you ever look for a partner like Shiraishi was?
🥞 ... Well, kinda. I was just thinkin' if I saw a good guy somewhere, I'd call out to him. So I went to all sorts of events.
🥞 But I met you early on, so I'm glad for that.
☕️ ... Really. Good to hear.
☕ Akito, you're the best partner I could ever ask for.
🥞 Jeez, that's my line...
🎧 Ohh~? Akito, you've got a pretty happy look on your face, don't you?
🥞 Shut the fuck up.
🥞 So you ran out of the house in a hurry.
☕ I did, but... how did you know?
🥞 Behind your right ear, there's a bunch of hair sticking out of place. Want me to get it for you?
☕ ... Go ahead.

🥞♪ I’m on my own, well, just kidding
☕️♪ ‘Cause with you, I’m dreaming
🥞♪ I’m riddled with mistakes
☕️♪ and misunderstandings,
🥞☕️♪ but I’m retaking my excitement
☕️ Akito, are you really okay...? You, with a dog...
🥞 ... Well, I'd be lying if I said it was alright.
🥞 As I said earlier, Kamishiro-senpai and the others are helping out. Now that I accepted the task, I'll have to do something about it.
☕️ ... I see.
☕️ You’re both really good.
🥞 Really? This isn’t much.
☕️ No, that’s not true. I have difficulty even kicking the ball straight.
☕️ If you don’t mind, could you teach me next time?
🥞 You too…?
🍌 Eh?! Touya too? Then I’ll help teach!
☕️ Thank you. I’ll bring my sneakers.
☕️ The way you looked back then stuck with me. It reminded me of something...
🎧 Reminded you of...?
☕️ Yeah. I couldn't figure it out at first... but I finally understood what it was. You looked similar.
☕️ Like — the person I was when I tried leaving BAD DOGS.
🥞 I... see.
🥞 You've been cursed by your own father, Touya.
☕️ ...
🥞 A curse you can never be free of. How sad.
🥞 But I don't give a damn about your curse, so don't get me involved in your problems.
