Nene

Listen

Alright, let's end our enunciation practice here.
2

Honami

Listen

Okay, thank you very much.
3

Honami

Listen

*Sigh*
Reading each word clearly and properly is so hard...
4

Nene

Listen

But I thought you did a good job of projecting your voice.
5

Nene

Listen

Once you learn to channel your feelings, you should be able to put on a captivating performance.
6

Honami

Listen

Really? Thank goodness...!
7

Honami

Listen

Then, let's start working on that next.
I need to keep trying my best since I'm still not very good at channeling my feelings.
8

Nene

Listen

Okay, but we should take a break first.
After all, it isn't good to push yourself too hard.
9

Honami

Listen

Oh...
10

Honami

Listen

Hehe. You're right.
Then, if you don't mind, let's take a quick break.
11

Nene

Listen

Yeah, let's take it nice and easy.
12

Honami

Listen

Saki's told me about some of the things Tsukasa does to practice...
13

Honami

Listen

But acting is so hard. Now that I've given it a try, I realize just how challenging it really is.
14

Nene

Listen

Yeah, it's hard not to feel that way since you're still getting the hang of it. But it gets easier after it's become second nature...
15

Honami

Listen

I see...
How do you normally practice, Kusanagi?
16

Nene

Listen

Huh? Well...
17

Nene

Listen

Basic things like we did just now. Aside from practicing projecting my voice, singing and dancing are pretty crucial.
18

Nene

Listen

I also research how to become a better actress by seeing shows and watching movies...
19

Nene

Listen

Oh, building up your stamina is also important.
20

Honami

Listen

Stamina?
21

Nene

Listen

Yeah. If you don't have enough stamina, not only will you be unable to move the way you need to, you'll also lose your concentration...
22

Nene

Listen

I don't know if this has been helping at all, but I have been doing some walking before heading out for school each morning...
23

Honami

Listen

That's incredible...!
I didn't realize just how hard you had to work.
24

Nene

Listen

I still have a long road up ahead...
But I make a point of doing everything I can in the moment.
25

Nene

Listen

I mean, you're the same way, right?
26

Honami

Listen

Huh?
27

Nene

Listen

I feel like the same thing goes for practicing playing an instrument. Also, playing live must require a ton of stamina.
28

Nene

Listen

Not only that, I'm sure you've been doing a lot to help your band succeed.
29

Honami

Listen

Oh...
30

Honami

Listen

Yes...
When you put it that way, I suppose I have been keeping very busy.
31

Honami

Listen

Just like you, I feel that I should be doing everything I can.
32

Nene

Listen

Hehe. I had a feeling.
33

Nene

Listen

I already thought you and I were in the same boat, but I guess we're similar in this way too.
34

Honami

Listen

I agree.
We're both working very hard towards our respective dreams.
35

Honami

Listen

I'm so glad that I'm getting to work on this event with you, Kusanagi...
36

Nene

Listen

Huh?
37

Honami

Listen

Because practicing with you has given me a chance to get to know you much better.
38

Nene

Listen

Oh...
39

Nene

Listen

Y-Yeah...
40

Honami

Listen

Oh, if the reading event does go well, the two of us should throw a little party to celebrate.
41

Nene

Listen

Huh?
42

Honami

Listen

I want to use that opportunity to talk some more with you.
43

Nene

Listen

O-Oh...
Okay.
44

Nene

Listen

In that case, we have to do everything we can to succeed.
45

Nene

Listen

Let's make sure it goes really well.
46

Honami

Listen

Yes!
