Card Story: [Cool Rider Lady] Honami Mochizuki

Part 1

School SEKAI
1
Shiho
Alright, I think that's about it in terms of our schedule leading up to our next show...
2
Saki
Yeah! Let's start chipping away at our ticket quota tomorrow!
3
Ichika
We have to sell tickets every time now, right? It isn't going to be that easy.
4
KAITO
This is something you have to do...
5
Miku
Because this is a part of what it means to be in a band.
6
Shiho
Exactly. This is one of those obstacles we'll have to keep clearing if we really do want to go pro.
7
Honami
(To think that she actually tried to do this all on her own before...)
8
Shiho
We're still working on our new song, right? Based on what I saw today, it's going to take a few more days to hammer everything out.
9
Shiho
And if we have to start selling tickets to play in shows, we won't have enough time to create, practice and finish any new songs.
10
Shiho
So for now, I want all of you to keep working on our new song. You can leave selling tickets to me.
11
Honami
(But this is something we have to do as a band now...!)
12
Len
The four of you will be fine as long as you're together! Right, Honami?
13
Honami
Right!
14
Honami
Let's do the best we can, together!
15
Shiho
Honami...
16
Shiho
Yeah. Or in this case, divide and conquer.
17
Ichika & Saki
Okay!
Miyamasuzaka Girls Academy - Corridor
18
Honami
(Ichika and the other said that they'll be inviting their classmates to come see us perform. Maybe I should as well.)
19
Honami
(I'll start with...)
20
Classmate A
No, no, it's understandable. We were worried about you, you know? You seemed so sad lately.
21
Classmate B
Yeah! But you didn't look like you wanted to talk, so we didn't know what to do about it.
22
Classmate A
Thank you for opening up. And...sorry I said those mean things about Hinomori.
23
Honami
No worries!
Shiho is actually very nice. I could introduce you to her, if you'd like.
24
Classmate B
Sure, I'd like to get to know her! By the way, do you guys have any gigs planned yet?
25
Honami
No, we only just started...
But once we do, you're invited!
26
Classmate A
Cool! I'm already hyped to see you on stage!
27
Honami
(I can finally fulfill my promise to them.)
28
Honami
(But that was such a long time ago...
I hope they still remember...)
29
Honami
(No, that doesn't matter.
It's my duty to go ask them, and I want them to come see us play.)
30
Honami
Let's go!
Class 1-B
31
Honami
Good morning, you two.
There's something I'd like to ask the both of you. Do you have a minute?
32
Classmate A
Sure, what's up?
33
Classmate B
Yeah, you seem kinda concerned.
34
Honami
So, my band's going to be playing in a show soon, and I was wondering if you'd like to come see us...
35
Classmate A
Wait, you guys are doing a show...?
36
Honami
Yes. You'll have to purchase tickets to see us perform, but would that be alright...?
37
Classmate B
Honami...
You kept your promise!
38
Honami
Huh?! Wh-What's going on?
Why are you hugging me?
39
Classmate B
Because that was forever ago, and we're really happy that you remembered!
40
Classmate A
Anyway, when are you guys playing?
Also, how much are the tickets? I just got my paycheck from work, so money's no object for me right now!
41
Classmate B
How many songs do you get to play? I'll make sure to try listening to them beforehand!
42
Honami
Hehe. Alright, one at a time.
After school
43
Shiho
Honami...
I'm about to head off to practice. Wanna go together?
44
Honami
Oh, Shiho!
I'll be right there! I just need another minute to pack!
45
Classmate B
Anyway, let's head to club.
46
Classmate A
Okay.
47
Classmate A
Honami told us all about your upcoming show, Hinomori.
48
Classmate B
We've been wondering what kind of music your guys' band plays.
49
Classmate B
So we're really looking forward to seeing you on stage!
50
Shiho
We promise to give you a good performance.
51
Classmate A
Awesome!
Anyway, Honami, see you later!
52
Honami
See you tomorrow!
53
Shiho
You asked them to come see us...?
54
Honami
Yes. I'll need to keep polishing my drumming to give them a good show.
