Toya

Listen

The School Festival is just around the corner. My class is pretty much ready now. How about yours?
2

Akito

Listen

Sigh... We really gotta buckle down to get ready in time.
3

Toya

Listen

So we won't be able to practice together until the festival's over?
4

Akito

Listen

Yup.
5
Well, it's a special school event.
We should participate and help out.
6
By the way, can you come to the festival, Kohane? It'd be awesome to see everything together!
7

Kohane

Listen

Um, it's in two weeks, right? I'm going on a trip with my family that weekend...
8
Aww, man...
9
But the festival goes all the way into the night, so you can drop by anytime and I'll show you around!
10

Kohane

Listen

Okay! I don't think you told me yet what your class is doing for the festival.
11
Just your standard cafe, but we're gonna have really fancy decor so you gotta check it out!
12

Kohane

Listen

Yeah, cool! How about you, Shinonome, Aoyagi?
13

Akito

Listen

We're doing a haunted house.
But well, that is a shame...
14

Kohane

Listen

Huh?
15

Akito

Listen

I wish you could come. I'd even put in the effort to scare you out of your wits.
16

Kohane

Listen

Whaaat?! No, no... Th-That's okay...!
17

Toya

Listen

I thought you were just the receptionist, Akito?
18

Akito

Listen

Yeah, but I can tell the monster team what to do.
19

Akito

Listen

Wanna come test your courage?
It's supposed to be pretty scary.
20
M-Me?! Uh... Sorry, but I'll be too busy with my class and seeing everything else so... Pass!
21
S-So what are you guys doing, Toya?
22

Toya

Listen

A cotton candy stall. We'll have a few different types too, and it'll probably be fun just to see them all.
23

Kohane

Listen

Different types of cotton candy?
Like different colors?
24

Toya

Listen

Let me show you a picture I took earlier.
We're making ones like this for example.
25

Kohane

Listen

Oh, wow! An, look at that!
That's really amazing!
26
Hmm? What, is this for real?
It's a teddy bear! That's so cute!
27

Akito

Listen

That's really well made.
Wait, you really made those?
28

Toya

Listen

Yeah. It's surprisingly easy.
You just follow the instructions.
29

Toya

Listen

We can also make bunnies and unicorns.
All of my classmates really liked them too.
30
Hmph. So you're busy getting a stall ready for the event like a real student.
31

Akito

Listen

Well, he's always taken school seriously.
32

Toya

Listen

But you're helping with your class' thing too, Akito.
33

Akito

Listen

Only during lunch breaks or when I don't have work.
34
Same here. I'm too busy with my dad's cafe, so I haven't had much time to help out with our class' cafe.
35

Toya

Listen

Right...
36

Toya

Listen

In my case, I think getting into it because I'm just trying to make up for lost time.
37

Akito

Listen

...
38

Kohane

Listen

What do you mean?
39

Toya

Listen

Oh. Until now, I never really got to participate in many school events.
40

Akito

Listen

I think it's more like, You weren't allowed to...
41

Kohane

Listen

What?!
42
Why couldn't you...?
43

Toya

Listen

My parents wouldn't let me. They wanted me to practice the piano rather than waste time on stuff like this.

44

Toya

Listen

They always made me spend my weekends playing the piano too. In my dad's mind, school events only got in the way of practice.
45

Toya

Listen

My mom was paranoid about me getting hurt and not being able to become a pianist... She even banned me from playing any ball sports.
46

Toya

Listen

She wouldn't let me go on outings, camping or even school trips.
47

Kohane

Listen

That's crazy...
48

Toya

Listen

My parents kept telling me I had to practice every single day, or I'd lose all of my progress.
49

Akito

Listen

It's like the drivel you hear with sports clubs, like it takes three days to make up for one missed day of training...
50

Toya

Listen

Anyway, I don't have to live like that anymore.
I'm taking part in the School Festival this time.
51

Kohane

Listen

Yeah. That's great...!
52
It is. That means you have to get as much out of this festival as you can, Toya!

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

53
I'll definitely stop by your stall!
I'll bring some friends too!
54

Toya

Listen

Yeah. That'll be nice.
55
Sooo, can I get a buddy discount?
56

Toya

Listen

...
Okay. I'll think about it.
