Part 1
Phoenix Wonderland
Mizuki
Whew! That was so much fun!
Len
<I had fun too...!
Whizzing around on those rides was so amazing.>

Miku
<I agree. I was a bit startled, but we also got to see some beautiful sights.>
Ena
I'm glad you guys liked it, but I could really go for a quick break now...
Kanade
Me too...
Mafuyu
I'm going to get something to drink...
Mizuki
Yeah, go for it♪
Mizuki
Ena, Kanade, there's a nice bench just over there, so let's wait for Mafuyu there.
Ena
Sure, sounds good...
Kanade
Phew...
Mizuki
You two, okay?
Was that roller coaster a bit too much?
Was that roller coaster a bit too much?
Kanade
No, it's not that.
Kanade
But I hadn't gone on it such a long time...
I kept asking myself, “Was this thing always so scary?”
I kept asking myself, “Was this thing always so scary?”
Mizuki
Haha! To be fair, it got a bit of a facelift to make it more thrilling than before!
Mizuki
Still...
Mizuki
While we screamed our lungs out, Mafuyu just sat there like nothing was happening.
Ena
I mean, not knowing what she's thinking is sort of par for the course, but I feel like she's been spacing out a lot today, you know?
Kanade
I agree... Could it be that skipping her practice exam is bothering her more than we realize?
Mizuki
Yeah...
Mizuki
(But she came all this way to join us, so I really want her to have some fun at least...)
Ena
Also, where is she...?
Mizuki
Huh? It hasn't been that long, but maybe she's waiting in line to make her purchase.
Ena
Waiting in line...? I see two or three people tops... There, look...
Mizuki
Hm? Whoa, you're right!
The shop's literally right there.
The shop's literally right there.
Kanade
So, Mafuyu's...
Not in line there it seems.
Not in line there it seems.
Mizuki
Wait, I remember now!
I think she went off in the other direction...!
I think she went off in the other direction...!
Ena
What? Seriously, where's her head at today...?
Mizuki
But for now, let's just give her a little more time and be patient. I'm sure Miku and Len are with her too.
Kanade
...
Mizuki
Are you worried about her, Kanade...?
Kanade
Yes. Today's one thing, but she was also acting a bit strange the last time we spoke in SEKAI...
Mizuki
Oh...
Mizuki
(Her mom found out that she saved that synthesizer and was still using it, which probably led to a really unpleasant conversation...)
Mizuki
(And when we met up with her today...)
Mizuki
(The way she said, “I don't know...” She seems totally conflicted and unable to think clearly.)
Mizuki
(I know Miku and Len are with her, but given her current state, maybe it isn't such a good idea to leave her alone right now.)
Mizuki
Hey, I'm gonna try looking for Mafuyu.
Ena
Wait, you're gonna look for her...?
Mizuki
I'll be fine. I just have to call her and ask about her general surroundings...
Kanade
Hm? I just got a message...
Oh, it's from Mafuyu...
Oh, it's from Mafuyu...
Mizuki
Really?! What'd she say?
Kanade
She said... <I think I'm lost.>
Ena
You're kidding, right?
She's a high-schooler, not some little kid...
She's a high-schooler, not some little kid...
Mizuki
Let's cut her some slack for now.
Kanade, mind telling her to just stay put? Also, can you ask about what she sees around her?

Kanade
Okay, will do.
Ena
Ugh...
Alright, let's find her together.
Alright, let's find her together.
Mizuki
That's great and all, but are you two sure you don't want to rest for a bit longer?
Kanade
I'm okay now, Mizuki, but I appreciate the thought.
Ena
Same. If anything, waiting around is starting to make my blood boil.
Kanade
Oh, Mafuyu just replied...
So, it sounds like she's close to Phenny's shop.
So, it sounds like she's close to Phenny's shop.
Mizuki
Oh, I think I remember seeing it while we made our way towards the roller coaster!
Mizuki
Alright, Mafuyu's waiting for us, so let's get a move on!
Ena & Kanade
Okay.
Mizuki
(There probably isn't a whole lot I can do, but I wanna do what I can for Mafuyu...)
