-Yasu's House-
The next day.
 Yasu |
... I'm going out for delivery. |
 Yasu's Mom |
Huh? But there's no holiday today... what about school? |
Yasu |
... not going. |
Yasu's Mom |
Not going... then, what about your band practice? Didn't you say you had a concert coming up? |
Yasu |
... not going to that either. I'll... be back quickly, so don't go out. |
Yasu's Mom |
Yacchan...? |
-Street-
Yasu |
The address is... "Studio UNZ?" ... right after yesterday, huh... |
Yasu |
.. oh well... I'll just hurry up and get this over with... |
-Studio UNZ-
 Master |
Right, thank you for the delivery. Goodness~... the bento from Yasu's place is my favorite food! |
Yasu |
Thanks for ordering... well then, I'm going... |
Master |
Oh, don't be in such a hurry... I heard you're quitting the band. Did something happen? The others were worried, you know? |
Yasu |
... it's none of your business. |
Master |
Well, that's true... then, let's talk about some gossip instead. |
Master |
There's been a little talk recently about UNZ undergoing some redevelopment. I'm happy if the town becomes lively, but... |
Master |
But it seems that more noisy men are wandering around, so it makes me a bit nervous. |
Yasu |
... you... |
Master |
Is your place alright? I heard something big was being built around a bento shop, or maybe not...? |
Yasu |
... you know everything? |
Master |
Oh no, I said this was just some gossip. Although, I'm curious to hear about your side too~ |
Yasu |
Tch... alright, I know I should talk. |
Yasu |
Like you said... there are some guys who're trying to have us evicted to build some big institution. |
Master |
... your mother turned them down, right? |
Yasu |
Of course... but those guys... they kept coming everyday after that... |
Master |
Then... you're trying to protect your mother and your store, right? |
Yasu |
... ever since way back, my mom's been running our store by herself. |
Yasu |
Even though I was getting into fights, she raised me without ever complaining... that's why this time, I... |
Master |
... I suppose so. I don't think Yasu's line of thinking is wrong. |
Master |
But do you think this is what your mother really wants? |
Yasu |
... what? |
Master |
You finally made friends of your own and even found something that you actually want to do... |
Master |
I'm sure your mother was very glad to see that. If you said you were quitting the band because of the shop... wouldn't she be sad? |
Yasu |
... even I know that, but why? |
Master |
Because that's how parents are. There's no parent who'd wish to sacrifice their own child. |
Yasu |
... you have any? Kids, I mean. |
Master |
Oh no~. But I do have a niece, so I kind of understand the feeling~. |
Yasu |
... that's enough. I've... gotta head back. |
Master |
... |
 Joe |
... you guys heard that? |
 Hachin |
Faa... he kept quiet and decided everything by himself... Yasu, that bastard...! |
 Sojun |
... family, huh? ... hmph. |
-Yasu's House-
Yasu |
... I'm back. It looks like those guys didn't come today. |
Yasu's Mom |
Yacchan. |
Yasu |
Hm? ... what is it? |
Yasu's Mom |
... Yacchan, you've quit your band, right? You tried to hide it, but your mom can tell. |
Yasu |
Uh... n-no... it's not like that. |
Yasu's Mom |
Thank you for worrying about the store... but it's alright! |
Yasu's Mom |
Your mom isn't as weak as you think. After all, I've managed to make it through until now. |
Yasu |
No-- I just-- ... I don't really care... about the band... |
Yasu's Mom |
... fufu, even though you're a high schooler, you're still bad at telling lies. |
Yasu's Mom |
Please continue with your band. Isn't it the thing you finally found out that you wanted to do? |
Yasu |
... Mom. |
Yasu's Mom |
Your mom is happiest when you do the things you actually want to do. |
Yasu |
B-but! |
Hachin |
Faaaaaa!! You're worrying too much, seriously!! |
Yasu |
!? You guys...! |
Joe |
Sorry... but we heard everything. |
Sojun |
What're you waiting around for? Let's go, Yasu! |
Yasu |
Huh? Go, but to where-- |
Yasu's Mom |
Oh my... are you Yacchan's band friends? |
Hachin |
Yep! Hehe... sorry, ma'am, but we'll be borrowing him for a bit. Here, come on, Yasu! |
Yasu |
Ah! Hey, stop... |
Yasu's Mom |
... fufu. Looks like you made some good friends, Yacchan. |
-Street-
Yasu |
... what's the meaning of this, you guys? |
Hachin |
Faa! That's our line, stuuuupid!! Why are you trying to look cool by acting alone!? |
Sojun |
You talked big even though you know nothing about your opponents... you really are a complete idiot. |
Yasu |
What!? |
Sojun |
If you just raid the headquarters of the real estate company that's going after your store, then this matter would be over. |
Yasu |
Tch... if I could do that then I wouldn't have to worry... |
Sojun |
Who do you think I am? I investigated everything from their address to when their security guards are low in numbers. |
Yasu |
... why did you do all that? |
Sojun |
Hmph, I'd be troubled if the bento shop went away, that's all. Also, you're now in a huge debt to me. |
Hachin |
Faa, I would've been ready to debut my guitar and vocals though! |
Joe |
Heh, don't be so hard on yourself. But anyway, right now, let's beat up those corrupt real estate guys. |
Joe |
After all, I can't overlook anyone trying to invade our hometown... you're not gonna say you won't come, right Yasu? |
Yasu |
You guys... |
Yasu |
... tch. You meddlers. Of course, I'm coming too...!! |
