I'm not sure if this will actually solve things but...

I've been thinking about what I can do to help everyone in class enjoy the choir recital.

That felt a lot better than usual.

Y-You think so?

Like MEIKO's drumming, that is.

28

Shiho

Listen

The drum is the foundation that supports the band. It has the power to draw out the entire band's potential.
29

Shiho

Listen

Thanks to MEIKO's drumming, Miku and Luka are able to go all out and play to their heart's content.
30

Ichika

Listen

Is this about the drummer being the foundation of the band?
31

Saki

Listen

No wonder! That means Hona's drumming let us play our parts to the fullest too!
32

Shiho

Listen

Your sense of rhythm needs work.
And you're still not at MEIKO's level...
33

Shiho

Listen

But you've gotten a lot better than before.
34

Honami

Listen

Thank you, Shiho.
35

Honami

Listen

Maybe it's because I felt so much better after speaking with all of you the other day about what happened in my class.
36

Ichika

Listen

Do you think your class will be all good for the recital now?
37

Honami

Listen

I don't know yet, but all of my preparations are in place.
38

Honami

Listen

We just need to decide on a song now.
39

Shiho

Listen

And that won't be a problem...?
40

Honami

Listen

Honestly... I'm a little scared...
41

Honami

Listen

But it's something I have to decide on, so I'm going to do everything I can.

Shiho

I see...

Don't worry, Hona! I mean, you have us!

Ichika

I know.

Honami

Got it! Thank you!
47

MEIKO

Listen

Looks like she's fine now.
48

Miku

Listen

I think so too...
But...
49

MEIKO

Listen

What is it, Miku? Are you pouting?
50

Miku

Listen

N-No, I'm not.
51

Luka

Listen

I'm sure it's because you helped Honami before she could.
52

Luka

Listen

Miku was thinking long and hard yesterday about what to say to Honami so...
53

Miku

Listen

Y-Yes, but that doesn't mean I was pouting about it! I'm just glad to see that Honami's okay now.
54

Miku

Listen

I guess, I just wanted to help her like someone in my position should that's all...
55

MEIKO

Listen

Haha. You're already a good role model, Miku.
56

MEIKO

Listen

Everyone here really is as kind as can be.
