Part 1
Mizuki's Room
Ena
How's this...?!
No, I missed...! I can't hit anything...!!
No, I missed...! I can't hit anything...!!
Mizuki
Haha. You're an awful shot, Ena...
Mizuki
Whoa, she even got the toughest one! Why didn't you tell us you were so good at this, Mafuyu?
Mafuyu
I'm not. This is my first time.
It's easy. Just point and shoot.
It's easy. Just point and shoot.
Ena
Hey, that wasn't directed at me, was it?
Kanade
Hm? You have to pull this trigger pretty hard, huh...? I can't hit anything, and this thing's heavier than I expected...
Airi
Hey, since we're all here, wanna check out the rest of the festival together?
Mizuki
...
Mizuki
(I really thought I was having fun then...)
Mizuki
(So why is it that it feels like there's this great big hold in my heart...?)
Mizuki
...
Mizuki
Ugh... It's my teacher...
Mizuki
Hey, Mizuki here♪
What's up, teach?
What's up, teach?
Mizuki
What? I have to go in for supplementary classes again? I could've sworn that I showed up enough this time to not have to...
Mizuki
Hold on, tomorrow...?!
But tomorrow's Sun...
But tomorrow's Sun...
Mizuki
Okay, I'll go. I'm sorry for making you waste your day off like this...
Mizuki
*Sigh*...
Mizuki
(What's the point of studying...?)
Mizuki
(But there's nothing to do here either. I guess school wins by default...)
The next day
Scramble Crossing
Mizuki
*Yawn*...
Mizuki
(I left early to make sure I get to school in time, but man, this is such a pain...)
Mizuki
Oh, I'll take a little detour while I'm at it.
Center Street
Mizuki
(Nooo! It's too early!
Nothing's open yet!)
Nothing's open yet!)
Mizuki
(I guess I'll just go kill some time at the bookstore...)
Mizuki
Oh...
Toya
Hm? Akiyama?
Mizuki
Hey, Toya!
Toya
Yes, good morning.
You're in your uniform... Are you on your way to school?
You're in your uniform... Are you on your way to school?
Mizuki
Yeah, they're making me take supplementary classes.
Mizuki
How about you?
What brings you here so early? Without Li'l Bro too...
What brings you here so early? Without Li'l Bro too...
Toya
It's not like I'm always with Akito...
Toya
We actually just finished our morning practice and have some free time now.
Mizuki
What? Morning practice?
This early?!
This early?!
Toya
Yes, well... It should take place in the morning, no...?
Mizuki
Yeah, but... I mean...
Mizuki
You guys must really love singing if you're willing to get up this early to practice.
Toya
Yes, we do.
Mizuki
Oh...
Mizuki
(I'm hardly ever at school, so we haven't really talked much but...)
Mizuki
(I never knew he could smile and laugh like this.)
Toya
And as you already know, Akito, my dad has been teaching me classical music since I was only a few years old.
Toya
However, he was extremely strict...
Toya
He made me practice before going to school and after coming home until it was time for bed. On weekends, I had to spend the entire day playing the piano and violin.
Toya
By the time I started middle school, I couldn't stand it anymore. I started thinking about finding a way out...
Mizuki
(I still don't know Toya's whole story, but...)
Mizuki
Good for you!
Mizuki
It's great that you found something you really love doing!
Toya
Yes, I'm glad as well.
Toya
Also, thanks to Akito and the others, I was able to talk to my dad about what I'm doing now...
Mizuki
Huh?
Toya
Before, every time I went home, we always ended up fighting and arguing...
Toya
I couldn't find the opportunity to tell him how I really felt...
Toya
But my teammates managed to open that door for me, and I was finally able to talk to him.
Toya
I even asked him to come to see us perform.
Mizuki
Wait, did he actually go?!
Toya
Yes, I believe so.
Toya
After that, well... He's still more or less stone-faced, but we don't fight anymore...
Toya
I'm glad that I can pursue the path I actually want to now.
Toya
But I was happy that I was able to get him to understand that I have a dream and not care if he doesn't approve of it.
Mizuki
...
Mizuki
That's pretty cool, Toya.
Mizuki
(They fought and argued that much, but he still had the guts to face his dad and tell him how he really felt.)
Mizuki
(He never gave up on what he loves doing and actually got through to his dad...)
Ena
I'll try drawing something. I don't know if it'll be any good, but I'll try.
Mizuki
(Trying and not giving up, huh...?)
Toya
Akiyama...?
Mizuki
Huh? Oh... What's up?
Toya
It's just, I was wondering what it is that you like to do is all, Akiyama.
Mizuki
Huh...?
Toya
We've gotten to know each other a little better, but we haven't really talked about our hobbies, dreams and such until now.
Mizuki
Oh, right. That's true.
Mizuki
(What do I like to do...?)
Mizuki
...
Mizuki
Sorry, I'd like to stay and chat a little longer, but I gotta get to class soon...
Toya
Oh, that's right.
Sorry for keeping you like this.
Sorry for keeping you like this.
Mizuki
No, it's totally okay. I was the one that started asking a bunch of questions first, so... Later!
Toya
Yes, we do.
Mizuki
(Talk about bailing out there. I doubt Toya isn't bothered by it, but that was pretty lame of me...)
Mizuki
(But we were talking about hobbies and stuff so... Why didn't I just say that I like designing clothes or something like that?)
Mizuki
(No, that might've just gone over his head...)
Mizuki
(I mean, he has nothing to hide and just lets everything out into the open...)
Mizuki
(It's like... I was almost at the point of wanting to speak the truth too...)
Mizuki
*Sigh*...
Mizuki
Alright, pull yourself together!
Get your butt to school already!
Get your butt to school already!
