Miku

Listen

Next, put this string over this finger...
2

Miku

Done.
3

Kanade

Listen

There she is. Hello, Miku. We're here to visit.
4

Mizuki

Listen

Hey, are you playing cat's cradle?
And you've gotten pretty good at it, haven't you?
5

Kanade

Listen

Mizuki, you taught her how to play, right?
She was playing it when I visited the other day, too.
6

Ena

Listen

Wow... Is that a Jacob's ladder?
That's an advanced move for cat's cradle. You must've been practicing.
7

Miku

Listen

Yes, I have a lot of time.
8

Mizuki

Listen

I see! Well, I'm just glad that you're having fun with it♪
9

Miku

...
10

Kanade

Listen

What's the matter?
11

Miku

Listen

Mafuyu's not here.
12

Miku

Did something happen?
13

Mizuki

Listen

Ah... Mafuyu couldn't make it today because she has cram school. It's just us today.
14

Miku

Listen

Oh. That's good to know.
15

Ena

Listen

Anyway, Mafuyu told us something new has appeared in this SEKAI. Can you show us what it is?
16

Miku

Something new...
17

Kanade

Listen

I think...it was a marionette?
18

Miku

Listen

You mean, this?
19

Mizuki

Listen

Oh wow, it's so cute!
20

Ena

Listen

It really is something new...
We've never seen this here before, right?
21

Mizuki

Listen

Yup! If we had, I would definitely have noticed it!
22

Miku

This marionette has always been in this SEKAI.
23

Kanade

Listen

How so?
24

Ena

Listen

So...it's not something new that showed up because Mafuyu went to a doll exhibition and was influenced by it?
25

Miku

Listen

No.
26

Miku

Mafuyu was ignoring it, but this marionette has always been in this SEKAI.
27

Mizuki

Listen

Which means...this puppet became visible when Mafuyu decided to notice it?
28

Miku

Listen

Maybe. Something must have changed inside Mafuyu.
29

Kanade

Listen

Changed, huh...
30

Mizuki

Listen

Wait. Does that mean it's possible there's actually a lot of other things here right now, just that we can't see them?
31

Kanade

Listen

Oh...then we may be able to find some clues about how to create a song that will save Mafuyu here.
32

Miku

I don't think you can...
33

Ena

Listen

Why not?
34

Miku

Listen

It's possible that only Mafuyu...the owner of this SEKAI's feelings, can find anything that's been hidden here.
35

Miku

Just like how nobody was able to find this marionette... Not even Mafuyu herself.
36

Kanade

Listen

Oh..
37

Mizuki

Listen

So basically, it's not going to be easy for us to find something even Mafuyu herself can't see, huh?
38

Ena

Listen

Um, so coming here wouldn't help at all, then?
39

Miku

Listen

No. It does help.
40

Ena

Listen

But...
41

Miku

Listen

You've already helped Mafuyu to make big changes.
42

Miku

Remember... This place used to be a Empty SEKAI.
43

Kanade

Listen

Oh...
44

Miku

Listen

She never used to let anybody into this SEKAI.
But now...you're all here.
45

Miku

You all have a place in Mafuyu's heart.
46

Mizuki

Listen

We have a place in...
47

Mizuki

Listen

Hehe, you have no idea how happy I am to hear that!
48

Kanade

Listen

You're welcome.
49

Ena

Listen

It doesn't feel that way to me at all, though.
50

Mizuki

Listen

Maybe it's just that Mafuyu hasn't noticed it herself, yet?
51

Miku

Listen

So please keep looking for Mafuyu together with her, now and in the future.
52

Kanade

Listen

You have my word. I'll definitely save her.
53

Mizuki

Listen

Yup! We'll fill this SEKAI up with all sorts of different things, like this marionette!
54

Ena

Listen

Eh, I wouldn't mind a less pesky version of her, I guess.
55

Mizuki

Listen

Again, Enanan? Just be honest with yourself already!
56

Mizuki

Listen

Whoa! It's already 25:00!
Mafuyu should be back by now.
57

Kanade

Listen

Yes, she's probably waiting for us.
We should head back.
58

Ena

Listen

Just one last thing...this is a marionette puppet, right? Why doesn't it have strings?
59

Miku

Listen

I'm using its strings to play cat's cradle.
60

Kanade

Listen

Oh... Hehe. Of course.
