B-Project: Kodou Ambitious

Sheesh.

Give me a break already.

Are you okay?

No, of course I'm not...

So cold!

Come on. Try some.

I can feed myself.

That's good.

Leader, would you like some?

No, I'll pass.

That looks good.

The medium rare looks just about right.

Yeah.

I wish I could stuff myself full of that.

Apparently, it's A5 beef.

Do you want to go get some together after today's festival?

Well, actually...

Come eat with me, then.

What?

You worked hard at yesterday's rehearsal.

Y-Yesterday's rehearsal certainly was perfect...

You thought our rehearsal was perfect?

Mikado-san.

What does "perfect" mean for B-Pro, anyway?

I'm not sure how to put it, but you were all shining so brightly.

I'm sure other people will think it's amazing when they see it, too.

Hey, Tsubasa-chan! I'm sure other people will think it's amazing when they see it, too.

Hey, Tsubasa-chan!

Huh? Hey, Tsubasa-chan!

Tsubasa-chan, join us!

When did they get there? Tsubasa-chan, join us!

When did they get there?

His head's always in the clouds.

Want to go over there?

Okay.

Ryu-chan, help me pedal.

I can't. I said I didn't mind riding, but I wouldn't pedal.

Tsubasa, your phone is blinking.

Huh?

Yashamaru Sakutaro Did something happen?! What's wrong? Tsubasa-chan What are you doing? It's way past time Where are you? Where's everyone from B-Pro? What are you doing? Tsubasa-chan Hurry and get here Tsubasa-chan Where are you?

What? It's Yashamaru-san. Yashamaru Sakutaro Did something happen?! What's wrong? Tsubasa-chan What are you doing? It's way past time Where are you? Where's everyone from B-Pro? What are you doing? Tsubasa-chan Hurry and get here Tsubasa-chan Where are you?

What? It's Yashamaru-san.

I wonder what's going on.

What are you doing?!

Um, sightseeing with the guys?

You're late! You're really, really late!

What?

I told you to be here at nine!

What? I thought it was at eleven.

That was rehearsal! Are you trying to embarrass Nishiyama-san?

N-No! I'm sorry!

G-Guys, I'm sorry!

We need to get to the event space immediately!

What?

RAIZIN ROCK FES

I-In any case, let's hurry!

Please accept this gift!

Oh, it's not Omens.

Who are they?

Some idol group called Kitakore, I think.

Today, we're appearing as part of B-Project. I hope you like it.

Oh, okay.

Sumisora-san, let's hurry.

R-Right.

So, where should we go?

Um... this way.

We're here. Wait here, please.

The lighting room?

I don't know how to work the lights.

I'm sorry!

This is it!

The merchandise booth?

Star Curry is now on sale!

It's actually here!

What?

I see. Tsubasa, are you trying to say you want to get in with me?

N-No.

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry!

You're still out here?

Yashamaru-san.

I had them push back your rehearsal a bit.

Boys, get on stage right now.

Got it!

You're going to come apologize to everyone with me.

O-Okay...

RAIZIN ROCK FES

Okay, next up is...

Sorry we're late.

We're B-Project. We look forward to working with you.

You're late.

We're terribly sorry.

Anyway, let's get this rehearsal started.

Thank you.

Noise?

I can't hear our audio.

Huh? Did you say something?

Move this, please.

Not over there.

Where do you want it? Not over there.

Where do you want it?

Yeah, right there.

Could we stop for a second?

Is something wrong?

Has the stage changed since yesterday's rehearsal?

What? Yashamaru-san didn't tell you?

No. We just met up with him earlier.

Really? Well, we're going to be leaving equipment here

during the first half for a scene change.

The space may be a little smaller now. But you're fine, right?

I hate to say this, but we don't have much time to rehearse since you guys were late.

You'll have to rehearse like this.

If we can't use this area, then MooNs' space—

It's all right. We'll manage.

Leader?

But yesterday's rehearsal formation—

This kind of thing happens all the time. We can handle it.

Either way's fine with me, but we're running out of time.

Are you rehearsing again?

Yes. We'll change our formation and—

We've rehearsed plenty already.

We'll see you during the live performance.

Kazu?

Why did our rehearsal time change?

One of the performing groups arrived late.

Is that them?

Probably.

What's going on? They look like they're fighting.

Apparently, Nishiyama-san recommended them.

Really? What's so great about them?

This is why I hate handsome guys.

A mask is better than a handsome face.

That's right.

I'm sorry, everyone!

Don't worry about it.

Tsubasa-chan, did you get in lots of trouble?

Yes, lots of trouble.

Don't worry about it.

Kazu.

I was just thinking in the anteroom.

For the "Kodo Ambitious" formation, I think MooNs should be...

I said that's not necessary.

We'll solve our own problems ourselves.

D-Did something happen?

There was a little trouble at the rehearsal just now.

Hey, Masunaga.

You're acting like it's MooNs' problem, but we were invited here as B-Pro.

There's no point in putting on a self-satisfying performance.

Goshi.

I will follow my leader.

In the first place, no one's paying much attention to B-Pro's performances.

Th-That's not true!

We were kicked out of the FMJ Song Festival, too.

That was...

You're right.

Maybe so, but I wanted to rehearse a little more. I couldn't hear our audio at all.

Yeah, it was hard to sing. Maybe that's normal for this kind of festival.

The text on the prompters was wrong, too.

The staff doesn't take us seriously.

The ear monitors were making noise the whole time.

Sorry. If only I'd done a better job...

That's not what we're talking about, Tsubasa.

Guys, look!

Hamburgers and baumkuchen.

Ugh. I don't even want to think of all the calories in those.

They were at the catering area.

Why don't you guys have some?

Come to think of it, we missed our chance to eat Omi beef.

Maybe I'll get something to eat, too.

Leader, let's go.

What? Oh, sure.

I'll make some coffee.

Have you heard of B-Whatever?

Yeah, the guys who were recommended.

I can't believe they showed up late to rehearsal and then complained about the stage.

Seriously, I know.

Besides, I'm opposed to idols appearing on RAIZIN in the first place.

Huh? Why are you winking?

Hey, didn't you say you don't like idols, either?

No, I don't think I ever said that.

You liar.

Anyway, I think those B-Whatever guys are—

What about B-Whatever?

Hey, the Whatevers.

If you've got something to say, we'll hear you out.

It's not like I don't.

What?

You may have been recommended, but you were late to rehearsal.

You complained about the stage.

Can you even sing a proper song?

What did you say?

We're just trying to give the best performance possible in the space

that's been provided.

You just look like spoiled brats to me.

You bastard!
