Azusa considers their words.
"Well. Can't say I blame Nago for wantin' to fight the Amanojaku. Or Shirokawa, for that matter. We all lost someone to the Amanojaku. He lost his dad, she and I lost our sisters."She takes a sip.
"Nago, I'm not too worried about losin' himself. Guy's solid, like you said, Red. If I'm readin' him right, he and Mina...well, long as he doesn't hurt her, I won't have to break any more kneecaps. They'll be good for each other, I think. Better than I was for her, at any rate. Shirokawa, on the other hand...."Azusa snorts.
"Makin' people happy, huh? That Minase girl must've really left an impression on you, given that's what she said when we did those damn auditions. Shame she didn't pass. Not that I think there's anythin' wrong with worldview, Banjo. I agree with you."
The guard just looks baffled at Seitaro, before turning to Misaki.
"No ticket, no entry."
At that point, Tsubasa, Miyuki and Momiji arrive at the door. Tsubasa raises his backstage ID to identify himself.
"Uh, don't worry, we got this, they're with...us."The minute he sets eyes on Hikari, he pauses.
"....." "Yeah, they're definitely with us!" "Ehh? That quick?"The guard studies Tsubasa's ID briefly, looking between him, Miyuki and the three outside, before shrugging.
"Alright. Be my guest."
He steps aside to let the three pass. Tsubasa motions the three outside to come in.
"You three, get in. I'll show you around."Misaki, Miyuki, Seitaro and Momiji all see something odd about the entire interaction. No, it doesn't seem like Tsubasa was trying to impress Hikari. But he does seem to recognise her.
Meanwhile, backstage, Haruka walks over to Briar and the other remaining EUFONs.
"Uh, do you guys mind if you can help me find something? I uh...lost a picture. A good luck charm, if you will. I kinda want to have it before I get out there." "Oh. Do you need help, Shirokawa?" "No, I think we got it, Luna, but thank you for offering."
