Miku

Huh? Ichika...?

3

Ichika

Oh, Miku, thank goodness! There you are...

4

Miku

Is everything okay?
Practice isn't supposed to start until much later, right?

5

Ichika

That's right...
But I wanted to talk with you before that.

6

Miku

With me?

7

Ichika

Yes. So, we started preparing for that show we talked about the other day...

8

Ichika

Which gave me a chance to think.

9

Ichika

Singing and music have allowed me to meet and connect with all these different people...

10

Ichika

But more than anything else...

11

Ichika

Miku, you connected me with so many people...
Not only that, you helped reunite me with my best friends.

12

Ichika

So, I really need to thank you...

13

Miku

Ichika...

14

Ichika

Wait, I think I've said something similar before...

15

Miku

Hehe. Yes, you have.

16

Ichika

Your songs have such incredible powers...
Not only did they help bring my old friends back together, they're helping me make new ones as well.

17

Ichika

I've been able to meet so many new faces, thanks to you.

18

Miku

I could see your sincerity when you said that.

19

Miku

But...

20

Miku

Neither I nor the Miku of your world deserve all the credit, Ichika.

21

Miku

You did all the hard work.
You took your feelings seriously.

22

Ichika

Miku...

23

Miku

And I think you're an incredible person, Ichika.

24

Miku

Because you've also brought so many people together.

25

Ichika

I have...?

26

Miku

Yes. You did everything you could to bring Leo/need back together, didn't you?

27

Ichika

But I don't deserve all the credit.
Saki was really vocal about...

28

Miku

Then, what about that brother and sister who ended up becoming separated?

29

Ichika

What...?

30

Miku

You did your absolute best to write lyrics for them, and you succeeded in bringing them back together...

31

Miku

Which is why I believe you have the power to bring people together.

32

Miku

Like the person you admire so much. The Miku from your world.

33

Ichika

Like her...?

34

Ichika

I...

35

Ichika

I did, huh...?
I brought them together... Like you...

36

Miku

Yes...

37

Miku

And you're capable of even more.

38

Miku

As you keep playing music that moves the hearts of more and more people. As you convey how you really feel...

39

Miku

You'll sing songs that can bring more and more people together.

40

Miku

At least, that's what I believe.

41

Ichika

Okay. Thank you, Miku...

42

Ichika

I'll keep doing my best.

43

Ichika

I'll treasure what you've taught me and keep bringing more people together through music.

44

Miku

Good. And I'll keep supporting you as best I can, Ichika...

Rin

Oh, Miku-P, there you are!

46

Miku

Rin? Is something the matter?

47

Rin

We're cleaning up that classroom over there and were hoping that you'd lend us a quick hand!

48

Ichika

Oh, then, should I join as well?

49

Miku

But you have practice soon.
You should be focusing your energy on your show.

50

Miku

So, I'll see you later.
I'm looking forward to seeing your show.

51

Rin

Bye bye, Ichi!
Good luck with practice and stuff!

53

Ichika

(I've never thought of it that way since I've always been looking up to her. We seemed worlds apart in that sense...)

Ichika

(This show is our chance to thank everyone for giving us so much support...)

55

Ichika

(But... I believe Miku deserves a special thanks.)

56

Ichika

(How do I do that? Something that she'd really enjoy would be best...)

57

Miku

This song is going to let me sing with all of you in your world.

58

Ichika

Miku...

59

Miku

Obviously, I'm not the same Miku that's in your world...
However, while listening to this song, I got the feeling that it connects me to all of you girls.

Ichika

Oh...

61

Saki

Oh, Ichi, you're already here!
You must be raring to go!

62

Ichika

Saki, all of you...

63

Ichika

Um, so... I have a suggestion regarding our next show.

64

Honami

A suggestion?

65

Ichika

Yeah. I don't know if it's actually possible, but I'd like to give it a try...

66

Saki

Oh, give what a try? Tell us more!

67

Ichika

Okay, so...
