*Sigh*

Ichika

Listen

(I'm almost finished with my homework... I think I'll take a quick break and see how our videos are doing.)

3

Ichika

Listen

Oh...
The video of us has gotten a few more views.
4

Ichika

Listen

So many people have been listening to our song...
5

Ichika

Listen

(Including people who don't know us or who live in areas too far away for us to perform in yet...)
6

Ichika

Listen

(I hope that someday we'll be able to move the hearts of a huge number of people with our music...)
7

Ichika

Listen

(Like Miku...)
8

Ichika

Listen

Oh, I should see how the video with Miku singing is doing...

9

Ichika

Listen

Let's see... Wow, this one's gotten even more views!
10

Ichika

Listen

Hehe...
11

Ichika

Listen

I think I have Kanade to thank for this one as well.
12

Ichika

Listen

Oh, speaking of which...
We've been so busy that I haven't had a chance to tell her anything about what's happened.
13

Ichika

Listen

(As much as I'd like to tell her in person, it doesn't seem right for me to ask to go over to her house again. For now, I'll just send her a message...)
14

Ichika

Listen

Umm...
<Pardon me. I know this is very sudden.>

15

Ichika

Listen

No, that's way too formal...
16

Ichika

Listen

(We have a group chat with Minori and the others in it, so I should be a little more informal...)
17

Ichika

Listen

Um...
<Long time no see.>
No, it hasn't actually been that long...
18

Ichika

Listen

<Hello. How are you doing?>
No, still doesn't sound right...
What if I just said, “Good evening?”
19

Ichika

Listen

<Good evening. I posted that song we discussed the other day!>
Wait, the exclamation point seems unnecessary. How about an emoji instead...?

20

Ichika

Listen

Oh, I know. I should paste the video links. The one with our band and the one with Miku... Also...

Sound Effect: Play

21

Ichika

Listen

Okay, done.
And... Send.

Ichika

Listen

There...
It looks a little longer than I was expecting, but I think I managed to say everything that I wanted to...
23

Ichika

Listen

(I hope she replies...)
24

Ichika

Listen

Now I'm getting anxious...
For now, I should go back to finishing my homework.

28

Ichika

Listen

Still no reply...
29

Ichika

Listen

(She's probably focused on writing a song right now.)
30

Ichika

Listen

(Which could mean that she won't see my message until tomorrow...)
31

Ichika

Listen

I should rest early tonight so I'm ready for practice tomorrow...

32

Ichika

Listen

Oh, she replied...!
33

Message from Kanade

<I>
34

Ichika

Listen

I...? Oh, here's another one.

Message from Kanade

<Sorry, I have trouble typing messages on my phone and>

36

Message from Kanade

<keep sending them before they're finished.>
37

Ichika

Listen

Oh, that's right. She replied using stamps in our group chat that other time... Is it because she's not used to typing out messages on her phone?
38

Ichika

Listen

<It's okay. Please take your time.>

Ichika

Listen

Oh, an otter stamp...
Hehe. It's saying, “Thank you.”
40

Ichika

Listen

(Minori showed these stamps to us, didn't she? These otters are making such funny facial expressions... And to think that Kanade's using them...)

Message from Kanade

<I think I'm getting the hang of typing on my phone.>
42

Message from Kanade

<I saw the videos, and listened to your band's performance. I liked the way you all played, and the song is good, so it should keep getting more views.>
43

Ichika

Listen

Oh, she listened to it.
44

Ichika

Listen

That makes me so happy...
45

Ichika

Listen

<I really appreciate it.
It's all thanks to the advice you gave me, Kanade.>

46

Ichika

Listen

<I hope we get another chance to work together like that. But for now, good night.>
Oh, I'll toss in a stamp too...

Ichika

Listen

Hehe. We sent each other the same “good night” stamp...
48

Ichika

Listen

I'm so glad that I finally got to tell her...
49

Ichika

Listen

Oh, that reminds me...
50

Ichika

Listen

Honami was asking about which flowers to bring the next time she goes over to Kanade's house.
51

Ichika

Listen

I think I'll look some up before I go to bed. Let's see... The ones she took over last time were...
