Part 1

Shiho's Room
1
Shiho
Oh, it's already this late...
2
Shiho
I did come home later than usual today after we had that party in SEKAI.
3
Ichika
A part of me doesn't want everyone to hear Miku sing songs that I don't feel are 100% the right choices.
4
Ichika
Because I have so many precious memories involving her...
5
Shiho
Ichika's probably thinking about that offer right about now...
6
Shiho
(I don't know what her answer is going to be, but I'll happily accept whatever she arrives upon since she's putting so much thought into it.)
7
Shiho
(Still...)
8
Shiho
A lot of what we talked about today was so nostalgic.
9
Shiho
Come to think of it, I spent a ton of time practicing bass in my room even back then...
10
Little Shiho
Phew...
I'm not getting stuck as much while playing it now.
11
Little Shiho
If I'm really gonna be in a band with Ichika and the others, then that means my bass will mix with the sounds produced by a guitar, keyboard and drums.
12
Little Shiho
A band, huh...?
13
Little Shiho
It sounded like Ichika was pretty set on that. She even said she'd ask her dad to see if she can borrow his guitar.
14
Little Shiho
Saki's learning how to play the piano from her mom, so she'll be on the keyboard...
15
Little Shiho
Which just leaves Honami on the drums.
16
Little Shiho
I've seen a drum kit in the prep room for the music room before, so I'm pretty sure there's one somewhere at school... But can any of the teachers play them?
17
Little Shiho
What do we do if none of them can?
I guess we'd have to find some instructional videos online or something...
18
Little Shiho
Also, we haven't actually decided to form a band yet.
19
Little Shiho
But...
20
Little Shiho
But if we really are going to start one.
21
Little Shiho
N-No, I shouldn't get my hopes up too much. Ichika's dad might say no, and we don't know what we're gonna do about the drums yet.
22
Little Shiho
And we'll need to practice in order to actually play like a real band.
23
Little Shiho
We could even be so bad that things end up not being fun...
24
Little Shiho
...
25
Little Shiho
(But...)
26
Little Shiho
(If the four of us do form one...)
27
Little Shiho
(It'll probably be... No, I know it'll be fun...!)
28
Little Shiho
I hope we hear good news about that guitar tomorrow...
29
Little Shiho
And we should ask about that drum kit.
30
Little Shiho
...
31
Little Shiho
I can't wait for it to be tomorrow.
32
Shiho
I really haven't changed...
33
Shiho
A lot of things happened, but I really wanted to be in a band with Ichika and the others.
34
Shiho
I don't have any homework to do today, so I think I'll take a bath and go to bed early...
35
Shiho
Whatever Ichika has to tell us, we still need to practice.
36
Shiho
So, I should rest while I can to make sure I do well tomorrow.
