HAMA House – Entryway
Yes, who is it—
…!?

Pardon us!!
Pardon us!!
Us!!
Eh… Kodama-san!? Why the sudden visit…?
Chief, I heard a loud voice. Is everything all right?
Please provide an order to continue the performance, Master…
Wha~, Kodaman!?
Warden Kodama!? And your subordinates, too— Did something happen?
(Ah. Have the plan’s gears started to turn?)
(The warden… He’s finally here.)
C-Chii…!
A-ahem! Actually, I’ve come to give Ev3ns something very important.
Something important…?
You two, hand them the item!
Sir! Here it is, presented on behalf of the Chief Warden.

Raito Kitakata! Considering your exemplary demeanor during your prison sentence, and now that your innocence has come to light regarding the crime you were imprisoned for, I congratulate you on the completion of your prison sentence and release from the prison island!
…Huh?
The same goes for the rest of you! Although the details may differ, each of you have earned your freedom. Check your individualized award certificate for the fine print!
The real culprit of the assault incident surrendered himself to police…? He even testified that I had deliberately taken the blame…?
Nayuki, you didn’t….
I didn’t have a hand in it this time. Apparently, the real culprit turned himself in because he felt it was unfair to you.
Is that so…? Then, I’ll have to go and visit him.
It says my case was also a false accusation… Why?
The police reinvestigated due to the tape we found left behind by your father…
It was decided that your actions were not against current law, because the family member agreed to terminate life-prolonging measures on their own accord.
……
Chii is still guilty, but it says since it was just a minor offense, the sentence is complete. Yay—!
Mine’s the same as Chihiro’s. It was more or less a false accusation, but… Well, I suppose it’s fine if my sentence is over.
Acquitted in the retrial due to a lack of evidence… Transferred to court for proceedings at a later date… Hmmm?
(The kittens did a fantastic job at destroying the evidence. I’ll need to reward them…)
IN ANY CASE!! YOU ARE NO LONGER PRISONER IDOLS!
You’re Ev3ns, former prisoner idols! Don’t forget the days you spent on the prison island… The passionate training from Kodama… And the LOVE from Kodama…!
(Love……?)
So shine! As the most brilliant idol stars of all! STAN! EV3NS!
STAN! EV3NS!
STAN! EV3NS!
FLAWLESS! PEERLESS! PRIOR, PRIOR PRISONERS—!
EV3NS, GO, GO!
GO! GO! GO—!!!
(A-a fight song…..?)
Love has been delivered… I know that you all can become the top idols in Japan…! Now then.
——— Kodama and his subordinates begin to leave.
Chii… You can even beat the “13’s” too…!
…!
Wh-what was all that…?
Hmm… For now, I guess we’re not prisoners anymore? We kind of lost the thing that set us apart as idols~.
Uh, I think being ex-cons is enough of an issue here.
This may be the second chapter for us as Ev3ns… Let’s continue to work hard so that Warden Kodama can come to another one of our live shows!
Understood.
Haah… I suppose I’ll put up with you as long as I’m here.
Say no more, we’re gonna keep it lit~!

HAMA House – Kitchen
(I was surprised earlier, but I’m so glad the Evening Group’s crimes have been cleared! Umm, the extra food is…)

Chief, I’ll help you carry the food.
Raito-san. Isn’t it great news? I’m glad your innocence was proven. Kafka is raring to jump into action and said he’d make a press release about the completion of Ev3ns’s parole.
Ah, yeah… I suppose that is the next step.
(Huh… Raito-san doesn’t seem to be happy…)
Is there something that concerns you about it?
…No, it’s as Chihiro said, we’ve lost one of our main selling points. Or maybe it’s that the realization hasn’t quite set in yet.
If the comrade I protected turned himself in at the end, it makes me wonder if my actions had any meaning… He has a family, too, so I can’t help but worry about them.
(Raito-san…. You’ve really changed. Before, you would have never been so considerate of other people’s feelings.)
Well, let’s go meet your friend and ask him! I’m sure we’ll continue to find more of Ev3ns’s selling points from today on, too.
That’s right…
Anyway, it doesn’t change the fact that I’m still a former prisoner. No matter how much proof there is that I’m innocent, there will always be doubters.
Ev3ns will continue to strive hard despite the overwhelming odds.
That’s why I’m confident that there’s something that can only be understood by those who come to see our show and enjoy our performance…
Believing in that, Ev3ns will continue to carry on, even with all of our scars…!
Leading the way for those who are suffering in the same way, even if we’re covered in mud, and disparaged… we’ll continue forward. That’s the kind of idol I want to be.
I think that suits Ev3ns!
Thank you.
You’ll stay as my comrade in life, right, Chief?
Of course.
Haha, if so, then I’m invincible!

HAMA House – Rooftop Lounge
Nagi. Thanks for coming. Here’s the item in question.
Simply say what you want to say and pass it on. That’s it. Please return it to Renga when you’re done.

…
What’s wrong?
When I record my part, what if it overwrites the previous person… What should I do if the data gets destroyed?
Haha, it’s okay! All you need to do is press record so there’s nothing to fear.
That’s right, I’ve been meaning to invite you for a while now… I actually ride a motorcycle, too.
Would you like to go on a ride with me next time?
Yeah… If you’ll have me.
The End!
