Tsukasa

Listen

What's wrong, Saki?
You seem more tired than usual...
Wait! Are you feeling unwell?!

Saki

Listen

No, I'm totally fine!
I was just tired from band practice.

Tsukasa

Listen

Ah, good. I'm glad you're so enthusiastic about practicing!

Tsukasa

Listen

But even the most brilliant of prodigies need an occasional break to refresh themselves, so that they can reach their fullest potential!

Tsukasa

Listen

Speaking of which, you can have this...!

Saki

Listen

Huh? Tickets?

Tsukasa

Listen

Special complimentary tickets from Phoenix Wonderland. I just happened to receive four of them.

Tsukasa

Why don't you drop by with everyone this weekend? Come watch our show and go home with the biggest smiles on your faces!

Saki

Listen

Wow... Thanks a bunch!
I'm sure the girls would love this!
We haven't been to PXL in ages!

Listen up, everyone!
We're going to PXL together this weekend!

Ichika

Listen

Huh?

Saki

Listen

Tsukasa gave me enough tickets for all of us!
We used to go when we were little, remember?
I thought it'd be a nice break from practicing too.

Honami

Listen

Oh, I see...!
Yes, I would love to go.

Honami

Listen

We've all been so tired from practice lately. Maybe this is just the thing we need to make our performances even better!

Ichika

Listen

That's true...
I'm for it too.

Ichika

Listen

What about you, Shiho?

Shiho

Listen

I...

Did you know that if you go now, they'll be selling limited edition Phenny Penguin merch?!

Saki

And we might even be able to shake hands with Poochie since Tsukasa works there! How can you say no to that?!

Saki...

Saki

I'll practice like crazy after!
Like, really, really hard! I mean it!
So much that even you'll be surprised!

So please... Can we go together?

Shiho

Listen

(What do I do...?)

Shiho
