Kanade

I'm glad we were able to get here without getting lost. Thank you for looking up the best route from the station, Mafuyu.

Mafuyu

Listen

But we got here much earlier than I was expecting...

Kanade

Listen

It's better than being late and having to rush over. I mean, I'm such a terrible runner.

Kanade

Listen

Anyway, where is the concert being held?

Sound Effect: Play

Mafuyu

Listen

The hall itself is apparently to our left.

Mafuyu

Listen

But this pamphlet says that the waiting line is straight up ahead from here.

Kanade

Listen

Oh, you're right...
It tells us exactly where to wait.

Kanade

Listen

Then, why don't we take a look at some of the booths on our way over?

Mafuyu

Listen

Okay...

Sound Effect: Play

Kanade

Listen

They have so many different instruments here.

Mafuyu

Listen

Yes, they do...

Clerk A

Here, try plucking this string using your pick.

Sound Effect: Play

Boy

Wow! Did you see that?
I got it to make a sound!

Boy's Brother

Yeah, I saw. But I know you can do better than that. Try plucking it harder next.

Boy

Okay!

Mafuyu

Listen

...

Clerk B

Oh, you were in your school's brass band?

Woman

Yes. I haven't played at all since high school, but I've been thinking about picking it back up again, since my children are all grown up now.

Sound Effect: Play

Young Man A

Huh? Why are you able to play that so well?

Young Man B

Because I work hard every day?

Young Man A

Haha! Seriously, tell me!

Mafuyu

Listen

(Everyone's laughing and smiling...)

Kanade

Listen

Is something the matter, Mafuyu?

Kanade

Listen

Oh, are all these different sounds bothering you...?

Mafuyu

Listen

No, that's not a problem.

Mafuyu

Listen

(This all reminds me of...)

Sound Effect: Play

Mafuyu

Listen

I'm sorry, Mom...

Mafuyu

Listen

I'll give up on music...

Mafuyu's Mother

That means you don't need this synthesizer anymore, right? I'll hold onto it for now.

Mafuyu

Listen

Mizuki

Listen

<That's great news...!>

Ena

Listen

Mafuyu

Listen

Mafuyu

Listen

(What is this feeling that's stirring within my chest?)

Sound Effect: Play

Mafuyu

Listen

I'm not sure, but...
I don't think they're bothering me.

Kanade

Listen

That's good...

Kanade

Listen

Oh...
They have a piano over there that anyone can play.

Mafuyu

Listen

You're right...

Kanade

Listen

Shall we try playing it like we did during Shibuya Festa?

Mafuyu

Listen

Okay.

Sound Effect: Play

Kanade

Listen

Oh, excuse me.
We'd like to try playing this piano.

Clerk C

Yes, please go right ahead!

Sound Effect: Play

Kanade

Listen

What would you like to play?

Mafuyu

Listen

The same thing we did that time.

Kanade

Listen

Okay. Then, I'll start.

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

Clerk C

...!

Mafuyu

Listen

(This is so strange...)

Mafuyu

Listen

(Playing an instrument like this really puts me at ease.)

Attendees

Hey, someone's playing the piano.

Attendees

Such a beautiful song... I wonder what it's called?

Kanade

Listen

Phew...
I wasn't sure I'd be able to play it properly, since it's been so long...

Sound Effect: Play

Kanade

Listen

Huh?! Where did all these people come from?

Girl

You two were really good!

Mafuyu

Listen

Hehe. Thank you.

Sound Effect: Play

Kanade

Listen

That was a surprise...
I didn't think people would start gathering around us.

Mafuyu

Kanade...

Kanade

Listen

Hm?

Mafuyu

Listen

Thank you...
For inviting me to play.

Kanade

Listen

You're welcome.

Kanade

Listen

And the concert will be starting soon, so why don't we go line up for it?

Mafuyu

Listen

Okay.
