<That's awesome.
You really get to be on TV again?>

<But you all should hurry.
I'm sure the producer's eagerly awaiting your arrival.>

<Then, we should head back to SEKAI.
Tell us how things go later, okay?>

Okay!
We'll talk again soon!

<Bye bye!>

We're back♪

Welcome back, Miku♪
Oh, would you mind welcoming me back as well?

Oh, me too!

Hehe. Sure.
Luka, Rin, welcome back!

We're back♪

That was a lot of fun.
We got to see four houses today!

We were hoping to talk more about the houses with Minori and the others...

But that'll have to wait since they received a work offer.

But that producer must really like them if they were personally asked to fill in!

I hope things go well for them.

They'll be fine♪
Right, Miku?

I agree! I'm sure they'll come visit right after their meeting's finished, so let's just keep believing in them for now.

Still, that might not be for a while...
Wanna do something until then?

We already practiced singing and dancing before we went to meet them.

Or we could have another practice right now♪

Eep! A-Another practice?!

Hehe. Just kidding♪ I know we're all very tired...

Th-Thank goodness. You had me going there for a second...

You're so mean. I thought you were actually being serious.

(Another practice...)

Um, everyone...?
Can I have you all come with me for a second?

Huh?

So, what are we doing on this stage...?

Are you planning on practicing more?

What?!
Miku, didn't you hear just now?! MEIKO was joking!

Hehe. I know.

I wanted to talk about a room from the fourth house we went to today. The floor was all scratched up like someone had been practicing there.

Like someone had been practicing there?

Yes, and some scratches looked newer than the others. Aside from scratches, there were also some dents and bumps.

But all those things made the room seem like it was filled with hope for some reason.

In other words, the previous tenants practiced enough to leave their mark on that house.

And the stages in SEKAI are no different.
They're all scratched up from us doing so many shows.

For example, there was that time we crashed into each other on this one.

Wow! I remember that! Talk about a blast from the past!

Wait, what happened exactly?

Miku and Rin had trouble mastering the formation for this one dance. They ended up having a bit of a nasty crash during practice.

Which caused me to drop my mic...
Oh, I think this is the spot.

Yeah, here!
We panicked so much...

We both apologized to each other, asked if we were okay, checked to see if the mic was and what happened to the floor!

This is news to me...

I think this part got scraped during another one of our dance practices.

Yes, the lights make it hard to see, but there are just so many little scratches.

Wow...
I never would've noticed.

This SEKAI was born out of Minori and the others' feelings, but it's nice to see how we've been able to leave our mark on this place...

(And I hope we get to keep doing that as we cheer them on in the future.)
