Minori

Listen

Alright, I managed to get up early again today! Time to practice my hardest!

Minori

Listen

(I want to put on a really wonderful show for the owner and everybody. So, I need to give it everything I have!)

Minori

Listen

(Tsukasa's portrayal of Nyantaro is really amazing... Which means I have to keep finding ways to get better!)

Minori

Listen

Oh, that reminds me... The owner's cat is also named Nyantaro, right?

Minori

Listen

I still haven't had a chance to meet him yet. I hope I get to soon...!

Airi

Listen

Morning, Minori!
You're here really early today.

Minori

Listen

Oh! Morning, Airi!

Minori

Listen

Hehe. I wanted to practice on my own before everyone else got here!

Airi

Listen

Same. I want to make sure I'm able to keep up with Kusanagi during the show.

Minori

Listen

Oh, Airi, you sound so motivated!

Minori

Listen

Then, why don't we practice together while we wait for the others to get here?!

Airi

Listen

Sounds good.
I actually wanted to talk about the scene where we both appear...

???

Listen

Meow!

Minori

Listen

H-Huh?!
What was that...?

Airi

Listen

That sounded like...

Nyantaro

Listen

Meow.

Airi

Listen

I had a feeling it was you, Nyantaro.
Did you come to watch us practice today?

Minori

Listen

This is Nyantaro?!
H-He's so adorable!

Airi

Listen

Oh, that's right.
This is your first time meeting him.

Minori

Listen

Yeah! I've been waiting for this moment since you guys have been talking so much about him...!

Minori

Listen

Uhh... I should start by introducing myself!

Minori

Listen

Hello, Nyantaro! I'm Minori Hanasato! It's so great to finally meet you!

Nyantaro

Listen

Mrrow...

Minori

Listen

H-Huh? He turned the other way...

Airi

Listen

Yeah, that's strange...

Minori

Listen

Oh, was I too loud just now...?
I might've scared him. Sorry, let me try that again...

Minori

Listen

Ahem...
I heard that you're friends with everyone, Nyantaro? Would you also like to be friends with me?

Nyantaro

Listen

*Scowl*

Minori

Listen

Uhh... Nyantaro...?

Airi

Listen

His eyes sure don't seem friendly...

Minori

Listen

No, why...? You guys said that he's really friendly around people...

Airi

Listen

He probably just needs more time to get to know you, Minori. I mean, how would you feel if a random stranger came up and introduced themselves to us?

Minori

Listen

R-Right...
Wait, if I can convince him that I'm not a threat...

Minori

Listen

I know! I just have to use that to become friends with him!

Airi

Listen

That?

Minori

Listen

Ta-daa! A foxtail! This is the secret weapon I found growing in the park!

Airi

Listen

Wait, why do you have one of those?

Minori

Listen

I made sure to find one so I'd be ready to meet Nyantaro whenever!

Minori

Listen

This should help break the ice!
Come here, Nyantaro! Here kitty!

Nyantaro

...

Minori

Listen

Let's play!
Look, the foxtail's swishing around!

Nyantaro

...

Airi

Listen

He seems totally uninterested...

Minori

Listen

B-But...

Airi

Listen

This is pretty strange...
Why do you think he's ignoring you like this?

Minori

Listen

Why...?

Minori

Listen

Wait, no...
What if I smell like Samo to him?!

Airi

Listen

Oh, that'd certainly explain a lot.
I can understand why he's feeling wary now.

Airi

Listen

But time should fix that...
You'll just have to wait until his smell wears off.

Airi

Listen

And I'm sure you'll get to become friends with him once he sees that you're a trustworthy person.

Airi

Listen

I mean, Minori, you're also doing your best to put on a great show and give the carnival the send-off it deserves. He'll come around in no time.

Minori

Listen

*Nod*

Minori

Listen

Then, that means I gotta keep trying harder and harder! In order to become friends with Nyantaro!

Minori

Listen

Just wait, Nyantaro!
This show's gonna be so unforgettable!

Nyantaro

Listen

*Ignore*

Minori

Listen

No, he looked the other way again!

Minori

Listen

*Sob*
One way or another, we're gonna become friends...!
