Last time, Kanade and Shouko attended a large after-party to celebrate the closing of the YAGP and enjoyed themselves with music and of course dancing. However Kanade was soon pulled away by an American media outlet to ask about her thoughts regarding her award and scholarship and admitted that at the moment she was still unsure as she's met other great teachers from around the world and though she's thinking about other schools too she'll give it her all at the Royal Ballet School.
At the same time Ema approached Shouko who was surprised that Ema wasn't as upset about losing. But Ema seems to have taken coming across a setback in stride and the two of them finally buried the hatchet. After Kanade came back from her interview Chloe and Maho showed up and the group took one last picture together.
Back in Japan Kanade was shocked to find out she was getting so many messages as well as being hounded for interviews right at the airport as well as seeing that she'd already had TV pieces on her. At Takimoto's studio she also learned that she and Akito had been chosen to take part in a gala performing the pas de deux from Flames of Paris which was only a month before the studio's recital where she'd be taking part in the pas de six from Napoli. Feeling that it might be too much to have to learn in such a short time she offered to just go with Kanade's Diana instead. However wanting to dance some more with all of her friends Kanade agreed to do both thanking Takimoto for all of her guidance and noting that she'd cherish all of their time together.
Unsurprising that romance has now entered the equation since they're all at that age but if it's in the future for other characters it doesn't seem to be in Kanade's. Anyway that's all for now.

I do kind of wish they'd get/have gotten more use. Especially her theaterfag friend (the blonde) since she's pretty entertaining the few bits of relevance she gets.

Pretty sure the other is still nameless too

They're both named in chapter 34. The blackhaired one is Yuki and the blonde is Hikari.
