Also...

Luka

Listen

Oh, you two seem to be having a fun conversation. Mind if I asked what it's about?
4

Rin

Listen

Hi, Luka!
5

Rin

Listen

So, Sakki was just telling me about how they recorded their debut song♪
6

Luka

Listen

How they recorded it?
That sounds interesting.
7

Luka

Listen

Would you mind telling me as well?
What was that experience like?
8

Saki

Listen

So, we got to play at this recording studio Solis Records uses a lot...
9

Saki

Listen

But we normally don't have all those engineers and stuff around, so we got really nervous!
10

Rin

Listen

I liked the thing you said about how songs can be recorded in two different ways. That was really interesting♪
11

Luka

Listen

Two different ways?
Oh...
12

Luka

Listen

Do you mean having everyone record separately versus recording the entire band playing together?
13

Saki

Listen

Yes, that's right!
14

Saki

Listen

We really didn't know which to choose at first...
15

Luka

Listen

What did you land on?
16

Saki

Listen

We decided to play together!
That's just how we're used to doing things, and it seemed more fun.
17

Luka

Listen

Hehe. I agree that playing together suits your band better.
18

Luka

Listen

So, how did your recording session go in the end?
19

Rin

Listen

You were awesome and got things done really quick, right?!
20

Saki

Listen

Oh, actually...
Some things happened and...
21

Rin

Listen

Wait, some things?
What happened?!
22

Saki

Listen

So, the truth is...

Saki

Listen

No, I did it again...
24

Shiho

Listen

Seriously, Saki, you need to be careful not to rush ahead during the chorus.
25

Saki

Listen

I-I'm really sorry!
But the thought of a bunch of people listening on the other side of that glass and how this is going to be released to the public is making me really nervous...!
26

Ichika

Listen

I understand why you're nervous.
This isn't familiar territory for us. Honestly, I've been freezing up here and there.
27

Honami

Listen

Me too...
I wish there were some way to help us relax.
28

Honami

Listen

Why don't you try taking some deep breaths, Saki? Gently exhale and inhale...
29

Saki

Listen

Breathe out... And in...
30

Ichika

Listen

You still seem really anxious...
31

Shiho

Listen

Then...
32

Shiho

Listen

The next person to mess up owes me a bowl of ramen.
33

Saki

Listen

Wh-What?!
Only you stand to benefit from that, Shiho!
34

Shiho

Listen

Then, you'd also owe Ichika a yakisoba bun and Honami an apple pie. That'd be on top of my ramen.
35

Saki

Listen

You're assuming I'll be the one who messes up!
That's so mean!
36

Honami

Listen

Oh... Hehe.
You're looking more like your usual self now, Saki.
37

Saki

Listen

Huh?
38

Ichika

Listen

She's right.
You've gone from frowning to looking a little more relaxed.
39

Saki

Listen

Oh... W-Wow, I think you're right!
40

Shiho

Listen

You should be able to play like normal now, so let's give it another try.
41

Saki

Listen

Okay!
42

Saki

Listen

So, I kept messing up when we first began recording...

Saki

Listen

But we managed to nail it in the end!
44

Luka

Listen

Hehe. I'm glad you were able to get a good recording of it.
45

Saki

Listen

Me too!
46

Saki

Listen

Still, it's so strange...
47

Luka

Listen

Strange?
48

Saki

Listen

Yes.
49

Saki

Listen

When we were first-years, after I'd just come back, I was so afraid that we wouldn't be friends anymore.
50

Saki

Listen

But look at us now...
We actually managed to go pro together. Something about that feels so strange...
51

Luka

Listen

It's all because you girls worked so hard to get here.

52

Saki

Listen

Huh?
53

Rin

Listen

What she said!
54

Rin

Listen

You were able to get this far because you all worked super hard and never ran from your feelings!
55

Saki

Listen

Oh... Thank you both...!
56

Saki

Listen

But we never would've been able to get this far without you guys! I mean, there were so many problems that we couldn't solve on our own...!
57

Saki

Listen

So, Luka, Rin, thank you so much!
58

Rin

Listen

*Sob*
Sakki... That's so sweet of you...!
59

Luka

Listen

I don't think we could've asked for more after watching over you girls like this. Thank you, Saki.
60

Saki

Listen

We also promise to keep doing our best!
61

Saki

Listen

As pros, we're gonna learn to perform a lot better, do lots and lots of shows...
62

Saki

Listen

And keep dashing forward into the future!

Saki

Listen

Huh?
64

Saki

Listen

What was that just now...?
It sounded like a train stopping at a platform...
65

Rin

Listen

Yeah!
But it sounded kinda far away!
66

Luka

Listen

Yes, but nothing like this has ever happened before...
67

Luka

Listen

What if something has changed about SEKAI...?
68

Rin

Listen

What?! Changed how?
69

Luka

Listen

I can't say for certain.
So, why don't we all go take a look?
70

Saki

Listen

Okay...!
