Break Ev3n

It was sooo much fun taking selfies with all sorts of people~! There were some antis, but even they became fans in the end! ♪

Yeah… A tourist said they would support me, too. I felt the “Big Love.”

I had a great time watching the airsoft games… I’m not sure why it turned into a group counseling session, but I think it worked out overall.

There were lots of fans who said they’d make Tao their #1 fav…

Cheater! Chii-punch!

Yeowch… Wait, how’s that my fault!?

Everyone enjoyed my ramen, too. Although for some reason, the astrology sign ramen wasn’t very popular…

How did it go in your area, Kuguri?

Nothing noteworthy. It was the same as usual. The little birds were twittering noisily.

It kinda reminds me of our time in Beppu~! Everyone is working hard at their own spot~!

When I think about it… Things have changed a lot since the beginning.

That’s true. At that time… I didn’t feel there was any point in being¹ a part of Ev3ns.

When I thought about how everyone was trying their hardest, it gave me a hundred times more courage! I thought, “Let’s get lit for reals!”

Everyone, there’s ten minutes until the show starts. Are you all ready? It’s almost time to head towards the stage.

…May I say something quickly?

Wazzup, Raitin?

Hmm… Before we go on stage, I’d like to convey a message to each and everyone one of you, as the leader.

You did this before in Beppu, too~! You said my dance technique was brilliant. ♪

Yeah… I still believe that even now. But that’s not all. I…

I’d like to share what I’m feeling and what I’ve come to understand… with my whole self now that there isn’t an invisible line of separation between us.

I’m still not used to this sort of thing, so my apologies if my interpretation is off the mark.

Kinari… You always care about each and every member of Ev3ns, and you encourage all of us to get along well.

Thank you. I finally understand that you’ve provided a listening ear countless times for my feelings, too.

…!

Chihiro. I think it’s because of your innate compassion that you’ve taken time in teaching all of us how to be idols.

You’re always shining bright and leading the room. Surely there were times when the weight of the world was put on your small shoulders…

Thank you, I truly appreciate it.

Wha… Wha…?

Tao… You pay close attention to our surroundings and always take each situation in stride with great adaptability.

When I was unreliable… You offered support to those who felt uneasy…

Even though I broke your trust, you forgave and accepted me. I’m really grateful.

I… I didn’t do much…

I feel kind of embarrassed…

Kuguri.

…

Ev3ns needs you, and I do, too… You were like a mirror, reflecting what was missing inside of myself.

Without you, I don’t think I would be here as I am today.

Thank you. From today on, please stay.

…

Haah… Although I don’t like it, it’s fine. We’re right on the precipice of the show, and I’m tired, so I’ll let this slide for now.

Hehehe… I’m so happy! It feels like Raitin finally views us as comrades!

It’s peak “Big Love” vibes… right?

Um… I’d also like to thank Nayuki-san.

No cap! It’s all thanks to Nayu–ki that the hospitality tour went well, and that Ev3ns is standing here today!

!?

No, I’m the manager, so I’m only doing what’s expected of me. There’s no need to thank me.

That’s not true, Nayuki. According to my data analysis, you work much harder than the average person.

You really do… Thank you, Nayuki.

Ahhh~…! Enough, let’s go! Let’s go! We’ve got five minutes before showtime!

If you’re that grateful, then give me your best performance out there today!

Of course!

Leave it to Chii!

We’ll make it fire.

H-here we go!

Your face is red, pipsqueak.
