Saki
Great practice today, everyone!
Saki
Hey, look! The moon's out even though it's barely dusk!
Shiho
You're right. That's pretty rare...
Ichika
It could be because the sky's been so clear today. You can even see a lot of its features.
Honami
I hope it'll be even more beautiful on the night of the 15th.
Saki
Yeah, it'd be nice to see a big, round moon during a really clear night...
Shiho
Big, round moon...?
You sound like a little kid.
You sound like a little kid.
Honami
By the way, do you remember how you celebrated this time of year when you were little?
Saki
When we were little?
Ichika
Hmm... I vaguely remember doing some moon viewings, but not much more than that.
Ichika
Oh, I want to say that dango was on the lunch menu during elementary school, I think...?
Saki
Yeah, you're right! I remember that!
The teachers made them from scratch and they were so good!
The teachers made them from scratch and they were so good!
Saki
I even learned how to make it from them and brought some along one time for a field trip.
Honami
Hehe. Yes, you did.
Shiho
I remember that too.
You spilled soy glaze everywhere, got your hands all sticky and cried about it.

Ichika
Oh, that's right.
Luckily, Honami saved the day by making sure to bring wet wipes.

Saki
W-Wait, I don't remember that part at all!
Honami
Hehe. Oh, the memories.
Honami
Didn't we also make collages out of fallen leaves during that field trip?
Shiho
Yeah, we did.
Saki made something moon related, right?
Saki made something moon related, right?
Ichika
Yes, she did!
Saki
I still remember what you made too, Ichi!
Ichika
You do? What did I make...?
Honami
You made Miku.
Shiho
Yeah, and you were adamant about using only green leaves to make her. But it was fall, so we had a really tough time finding enough for you.
Saki
Yeah, that! Then, Hona suggested that you paint some green instead and it all worked out in the end.
Ichika
Is that what happened...?
Saki
Yup! That was when you were really into Miku, right, Ichi?
Saki
You were even humming some Miku songs while you put your collage together!
Shiho
Come to think of it, you recommended us a lot of Miku songs back then. You were so desperate about getting us to listen to them too.
Honami
Hehe. I remember that too. It was so cute.
Ichika
S-Stop, please, I feel really embarrassed.
Ichika
However, Honami, I still remember exactly what you made...
Honami
Huh? Me?
What did I make...?
What did I make...?
Shiho
You made Shibao, remember?
Shiho
Saki and Ichika were so confused by your initial sketch too.
Saki
Yeah, we totally were! Ichi even thought that Shibao was an octopus at first...
Saki
But it was also really cool how it clearly became a puppy in the end!
Ichika
That was pretty interesting.
Honami
I-It was...?
I recall that it turned out okay but...
I recall that it turned out okay but...
Saki
And Shiho just sat there really silently while she made hers... It was a band playing a show, right?
Ichika
Yeah, it was so incredible how detailed Shiho's was.
Shiho
I think that was just about the time my dad started taking me to live houses...
Shiho
Those shows are still fresh in my head too. That's probably what I was trying to recreate...
Shiho
But I sort of bit off more than I could chew and ended up with just the band on stage.
Saki
Still, your attention to detail was like your way of putting your signature on it.
Honami
I agree. You were so focused that you didn't even look our way when we tried calling your name.
Shiho
I don't remember that happening...
Honami
Hehe. Nostalgia really is a powerful thing, isn't it? Especially when it comes to our childhood memories.
Saki
Oh, wanna head over to SEKAI and go through some pictures from back then?
Saki
I'll bring some field trip and moon viewing albums!
Ichika
That sounds nice. How about after practice, Shiho?
Shiho
Fine...
But no slacking off during practice, okay?
But no slacking off during practice, okay?
Ichika & Saki
Okay!
Saki
Alright, time to hunt down those albums♪
Honami
Hehe. I can't wait to see them.
Shiho
Me too.
