Kanan Ep. 20: The Best Sub-Unit Ever
It's the day of the live show. You and AZALEA have met at the planned spot. Now that they have perfected their song and choreography, the hearts of everyone in AZALEA are all aflutter.
Player
*Huff* *Puff* *Pant* I'm almost where I'm supposed to meet Kanan and the others!
[Fade in/out.]
Kanan
Right, left, right, left, then finish by tapping the ground with my right foot…
Player
Kanaaan! Diaaa! Hanamaruuu!
Hanamaru
Oh! You're here, zura!
Dia
Good morning.
Player
I'm so sorry for being late, especially since it's the day of your live show!
Kanan
It's okay. Could it be that you were looking forward to it so much that you couldn't sleep? I was wide awake because my heart was beating so hard.
Dia
It would be no laughing matter if that caused you to oversleep. I'm sure you wouldn't have woken up, had I not called you.
Hanamaru
I set my alarm clock as well, but I was way more awake when I answered the call from you, zura…
| Option 1: “Maybe it's easier to wake up to someone's voice.” |
|---|
| Player Maybe you find it easier to wake up to someone's voice rather than an alarm. The Nijigasaki girls sometimes want me to call them in the morning too. Kanan I don't think that's because they find it easier to wake up. They probably just want to hear your voice. |
| Option 2: “If I got a call from someone as well, then…” |
| Player Maybe I could've avoided being late today if I got a call too. Kanan Possibly. I was a bit surprised getting woken up by such a clear and sprightly voice in the morning, but it's really effective on days like today! |
Dia
Whatever the method, it's fine as long as you wake up. We absolutely cannot allow ourselves to do something as uncouth as compromise a show due to oversleeping.
Dia
This is our ultimate performance that we have created through much trial and error, and today is the crucial day where we get to show off the fruits of our labor.
Hanamaru
Our choreography has improved so much thanks to Kanan, zura! I thought we were done with it, so I didn't think it could get any better.
Dia
Even so, I was rather surprised when you said that you wanted to fix it the day after it was done. Don't forget what you put us through during our rest day.
Kanan
Geez, I've already apologized for that so many times now.
Hanamaru
But I think we made you work really hard for this show as well, zura. That goes for the choreography, costume making, and singing practice.
Kanan
Thanks for worrying about me, Hanamaru. I did everything because I wanted to, so don't let it get to you.
Player
I agree about not wanting you to push yourself too hard, but the choreography only evolved into what it is now because you kept striving to make it better.
Dia
Indeed. We are now about to show off AZALEA's true potential, thanks to you, Kanan.
Hanamaru
Kanan… Thank you, zura.
Kanan
U-Uh… What's the big deal, you guys? Don't pile on the compliments out of the blue like that!
Dia
*Giggle* If our kind words have unsettled you, then you're sure to misstep in the choreography that you worked so hard to polish. Pull yourself together!
Kanan
I won't misstep! You saw me just now! We were all going through the dance together!
Player
Is that why you were tapping the ground with your foot? So, that really was part of today's choreography then. I couldn't tell what you were doing from far away, but… Hm?
Player
Have you noticed something else, Kanan?!
Kanan
Yeah, I actually have.
Hanamaru
What?! What do we need to fix, zura?!
Dia
What is it this time?! I don't know if we have time to action any changes right now…
Kanan
No, no! Our performance is perfect. It's just that there's something I'm sure of now.
Player
You're sure of something?
Kanan
Yeah. That today is, without a doubt, going to be a success! That AZALEA is absolutely awesome!
