1

Toya

Listen

So sleepy...
We did have another hard practice today...
2

Toya

Listen

(I've been feeling fatigued as well since I've been staying up so late recently. I should try to go to bed early tonight...)
3

Toya

Listen

(No, this is no time to be resting. Akito got everyone's attention for us through his performance.)
4

Toya

Listen

(Just ten more minutes.
I need to—)

KAITO

Listen

<Hi, Toya! How are you doing?>
6

Toya

Listen

Huh?
7

Toya

Listen

KAITO...?
What brings you here at this hour?

KAITO

<Me? Well, you know...?
I wanted to see you since it's been so long!>
9

KAITO

Listen

<Remember how you came to ask us for advice the other day? I've been wondering how you've been doing since then.>
10

Toya

Listen

Oh...
11

Toya

Listen

(Come to think of it, I haven't been to SEKAI in a little while... Did that cause them some concern?)
12

Toya

Listen

I apologize for not catching up with you sooner.
13

KAITO

<What? No, you don't need to apologize! We know you've been busy with practice and all.>
14

KAITO

Listen

<Today's probably no exception. I'm sure you're tired.>
15

Toya

Listen

I am...
That evening event was also pretty draining.
16

KAITO

<What sort of event was it?>
17

Toya

Listen

A team that we performed with in a past event invited us to sing in theirs...
18

Toya

Listen

The teams that performed there were all local legends, so they sort of had a home-field advantage...
19

KAITO

Listen

<I see...
That sounds like a tough event.>
20

KAITO

<But... I'm sure you all managed to find a way to knock everybody's socks off!>
21

Toya

Listen

It wasn't that easy...
But I think we left our mark at the very least.
22

KAITO

Listen

<Ah, I had a feeling!
Hearing you say that makes me feel proud!>
23

Toya

Listen

It does?
Then, I'm glad I got this chance to tell you.
24

Toya

Listen

So, KAITO, how have things been for you all lately?
25

KAITO

<Oh, us...?
Recently...>
26

KAITO

Listen

<Ah, that's right!
We had a meeting recently where we came up with new menu items for MEIKO's cafe.>
27

KAITO

<It wasn't all that serious, but we each presented our ideas and had MEIKO decide whether or not to try them out.>
28

Toya

Listen

That sounds like fun.
Did she end up using any of your ideas?
29

KAITO

Listen

<Yes! She decided to give Len's idea a try!>
30

Toya

Listen

Len's...?
What did he come up with?
31

KAITO

<Lemonade!
But not just any lemonade...>
32

KAITO

<It's suuuper sour!>
33

KAITO

Listen

<We all tried drinking it, but it was so sour that it made us all scream.>
34

Toya

Listen

And MEIKO was okay with that...?
35

KAITO

<Hehe. There's a reason behind that!>
36

KAITO

Listen

<It tastes surprisingly good when you drink it after you practice singing for a while.>
37

Toya

Listen

Ah, I see.
38

Toya

Listen

Now that you mention it, I've heard that lemon tastes better after you've worked up a sweat.
39

KAITO

<Exactly! She wanted you and the others to have something nice and refreshing during your breaks!>
40

KAITO

<But it definitely was too sour.
She's apparently going to add some honey when it does become available for order.>
41

Toya

Listen

Yes, I see...
I'll ask the others to see if they'd like to try it out.
42

KAITO

Listen

<Great! Len probably won't know what to do with himself! Please be sure to tell him what you all think.>
43

KAITO

<Between practicing and working on your individual tasks, I know you're all very busy right now...>
44

KAITO

<But you should come over to take a break if you ever feel the need! MEIKO's place will always be your oasis!>
45

Toya

Listen

KAITO...
46

Toya

Listen

You're right...
We'll try to rest when we can since we need to in order to perform at our best.
47

KAITO

Listen

<Yes, excellent!>
48

KAITO

<Oh, I need to apologize!
I didn't mean to do all the talking...!>
49

KAITO

<You're such a wonderful listener that I couldn't help myself... I'm sorry!>
50

Toya

Listen

No, um... That's not a problem.
51

Toya

Listen

(There's really no need for him to apologize. If anything, today...)
52

Toya

Listen

Thank you, KAITO.
53

KAITO

Listen

<Huh...?>
54

KAITO

<Wait, why are you thanking me...?
I don't remember doing anything to be thanked for...>
55

Toya

Listen

No, that's not true.
I really appreciate what you've done.
56

KAITO

Listen

<You do...?
Then, I'm glad to hear that!>
57

KAITO

<Anyway, Toya, good night!
Make sure to stay warm, and don't forget to set your alarm!!!>
58

Toya

Listen

Thank you. I appreciate the concern.
59

Toya

Listen

I plan on getting a good night's rest so that I'm ready to do my best again tomorrow.
