An

Listen

Hey, Akito, do you know how many people in our class are in the brass band?
2

Akito

Listen

The brass band?
3

An

Listen

Yeah, remember what we talked about?

Kohane

Listen

Shibuya Instrument Day?
5

Akito

Listen

And you two are gonna go help out?
6

Toya

Listen

Yes, due to a slight emergency.
7

An

Listen

The manager of the shop who lends us the sound equipment we always use is gonna be there, but a few of his staff won't be able to make it, so he's shorthanded.
8

An

Listen

I wanted to learn a little more about trumpets before Shibuya Instrument Day.
9

Akito

Listen

So, you wanna ask some people in the brass band about them?
10

An

Listen

Exactly!
11

An

Listen

I remember that Makita's in the band, but who else in our class is?
12

Akito

Listen

Huh? I dunno... Probably no one else, right?
13

An

Listen

Hmm... Then, I'll start by asking Makita.
14

An

Listen

I vaguely remember seeing her play the trumpet during the school festival, so she should be able to help me.
15

Akito

Listen

Hold on a second.
Have you actually talked to her before?
16

An

Listen

Huh? With Makita?
17

An

Listen

Umm... We say hi sometimes, and we also talked a bit during the meetings for that film we made...
18

Akito

Listen

Then, you need to be careful not to scare her by getting all up in her face. Remember what happened with Kusanagi?
19

An

Listen

Oh...

Toya

Listen

You wish to have lunch with Kusanagi, but things haven't been going as planned?

An

Listen

It's like my timing's been really bad, you know?
22

Toya

Listen

Well, I suppose life happens.
At the same time, you're in the same class this year, so I'm sure you'll get more opportunities to invite her.
23

Akito

Listen

Assuming your aggressiveness hasn't scared her off already.
24

An

Listen

What? I haven't scared...
25

An

Listen

No! Nuh uh! I definitely haven't...!
26

Toya & Akito

Listen

(She hesitated...)
27

An

Listen

(Yeah, that did happen...)
28

An

Listen

Thanks, Akito.
I'll try to be careful.

An

Listen

(Don't get up in her face, and try not to scare her...)
30

An

Listen

Um, Makita?
Are you free right now?
31

Makita

Hi, Shiraishi. How can I help?
32

An

Listen

(Yes, she doesn't look scared! I'm off to a good start!)
33

An

Listen

Sorry, I know this is really sudden, but I wanted to ask you a question.
34

Makita

Huh? Ask me?
35

An

Listen

Yeah! This manager of a instrument shop I know is gonna be participating in Shibuya Instrument Day, and I'll be helping him with his booth.
36

An

Listen

But I don't really know anything about musical instruments, so I was wondering if you could tell me a little about them.
37

Makita

Umm... I only joined the band in high school, so all I can really talk to you about is playing the trumpet...
38

An

Listen

Not a problem.
That's actually why I'm here!
39

Makita

I see.
Then, I may be able to help.
40

An

Listen

Thanks, you're a lifesaver!
41

An

Listen

So, the shop I mentioned is on Vivid Street and I've known the manager for a really long time!
42

An

Listen

He's always lending us his sound equipment, so I wanted to give back somehow!
43

Makita

...
44

An

Listen

(Oh no...!
I'm talking like I always do now!)
45

An

Listen

(After getting off to such a good start!
She seems a little overwhelmed now...)
46

Makita

Um, Shiraishi?
47

An

Listen

Y-Yeah...?
48

Makita

It's on Vivid Street?
Next to that general store?
49

An

Listen

Huh? Yeah, that's right...
50

Makita

I knew it...!
That place has also been really good to me.

51

Makita

I go talk to the manager there whenever I'm having trouble playing something, because he loves trumpets and saxophones so much.
52

An

Listen

What?! You know him?!
Wait, does that also mean you know about Shibuya Instrument Day and...
53

An

Listen

Thanks for giving me so much helpful info about trumpets, Makita!

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

54

Makita

No, if anything, I'm sorry for only being able to talk about really basic stuff. I'm still just a beginner myself.
55

Makita

I wish I could be there to help the manager since he's been so kind...
56

An

Listen

But the convention is right before that big competition, right?
57

An

Listen

I'm guessing he didn't ask you to help because he already knew about that.
58

Makita

Oh... Come to think of it, I did promise him that I'd do my best...
59

An

Listen

Then, you gotta keep your promise!
60

An

Listen

In return, I'll work twice as hard to help the manager during the convention.
61

Makita

Shiraishi...
62

Makita

Okay, thanks!
63

An

Listen

Oh, we got so caught up in our conversation that we both forgot to eat. Did you bring a lunch today, Makita?
64

Makita

No, I was thinking about buying something at the school store or cafeteria.
65

An

Listen

Really?! Then, let's go together!
66

Makita

Okay!
The store's probably run out of stuff already, so how does the cafeteria sound?
67

An

Listen

Perfect! Hehe. I wonder what they're serving for lunch today.
