Saki

Listen

Ahem...
Thank you all very much for agreeing to gather here today!
2

Kanade

Listen

Uhh... You're welcome?
3

Ichika

Listen

This is how Saki always acts, so please feel free to talk like you usually do, Kanade.
4

Kanade

Listen

Okay, thank you.
5

Saki

Listen

Hehe♪ I'm just really happy about the three of us meeting together like this today!
6

Saki

Listen

I've been wanting to ask you all about songwriting and stuff, Kanade!
7

Kanade

Listen

Songwriting... That's right, I got to listen to the song you made for Shibu Schools Fest before.
8

Kanade

Listen

It was a good song.
9

Saki

Listen

Wow, thank you so much!
Your advice ended up being huge since it was my first time writing a song for a musical!
10

Ichika

Listen

You see things from a different perspective, Kanade... You caught things that we missed, and we learned so much.
11

Kanade

Listen

I see. It's nice to hear that I was able to help, even just a little...
12

Saki

Listen

Hehe♪ I'm so glad that I got to thank you again like this!
13

Saki

Listen

Anyway, when it comes to songwriting...!
14

Saki

Listen

I see. So, movies and manga are sometimes the sources of inspiration for your songs!

15

Kanade

Listen

Yes, as well as art.
16

Kanade

Listen

It could be the feel of a particular piece, or just me wondering why the artist chose to draw it the way they did... I try to turn those feelings into sound.
17

Saki

Listen

Wh-Whoa!
18

Saki

Listen

I'll try to watch more movies and look at more works of art moving forward!
19

Ichika

Listen

I might start doing that as well.
20

Ichika

Listen

Oh...
21

Kanade

Listen

Is something the matter?
22

Ichika

Listen

Oh, I'm sorry. Our conversation just reminded me about something interesting we were recently assigned for art class.
23

Saki

Listen

Oh, are you talking about that art project?!
24

Kanade

Listen

Art project?
25

Saki

Listen

Yes! The theme is “radiance”.
We're supposed to create something...
26

Saki

Listen

We were told that as long as it keeps with the theme, we can go with a drawing, a sculpture, a movie or any other medium!
27

Kanade

Listen

Oh, interesting... Does that mean a song also works?
28

Ichika

Listen

Unfortunately, a song alone isn't allowed since it's for art class.
But a video that incorporates one is, or a children's book that makes sounds, for example.
29

Kanade

Listen

I see...
That sounds difficult, but also really fun.
30

Kanade

Listen

Have you two already decided what you're going to make?
31

Ichika

Listen

I'm thinking about drawing Miku.
I thought I should take this opportunity to try doing something I normally don't.
32

Kanade

Listen

A drawing of Miku seems like the perfect choice for you, Hoshino.
33

Saki

Listen

I'm thinking about a fashion piece that involves designing an outfit, as well as doing hair and makeup!
34

Kanade

Listen

Your piece is going to involve all three...?
35

Saki

Listen

Yes!
Our art teacher showed us some of the things that former students made in the past.
36

Saki

Listen

That was when I found a picture of someone wearing an outfit her friend had coordinated according to the theme. The designer even did her hair and makeup...
37

Ichika

Listen

I also saw that, and it was gorgeous.
She looked like a professional model...
38

Saki

Listen

I know, right?!
I wanna try doing that!
39

Kanade

Listen

(Come to think of it...)

Kanade

Listen

You seem to know quite a lot about fashion, Tenma...
41

Saki

Listen

I'm really not that knowledgeable!
But I do like following what's in and watching makeup videos.
42

Saki

Listen

I want to make the most of this opportunity and do something challenging!
43

Ichika

Listen

Hehe. You have been really excited ever since we left art class that day.
44

Ichika

Listen

By the way, have you already found a model?
45

Saki

Listen

Oh... No, not yet...
46

Kanade

Listen

Are you not allowed to be your own model, Tenma?
47

Saki

Listen

No, that's allowed.
But I'm hoping to find someone to model for me.
48

Saki

Listen

I kind of have this rough idea of what I want to do.
49

Saki

Listen

But I wouldn't be able to pull off that look in a million years.
50

Saki

Listen

That's why I was hoping to find a model who can...
51

Ichika

Listen

What's wrong, Saki?
52

Saki

Listen

She's the answer...
53

Saki

Listen

Umm, Kanade...?!
54

Kanade

Listen

Yes?
55

Saki

Listen

So, I know this is asking a lot of you, and feel free to say no...!
56

Saki

Listen

But would it be possible for you to be my model?!

57

Kanade

Listen

What...?
58

Saki

Listen

I'm having trouble putting it into words...
But you possess the exact sort of radiance that I'm trying to capture!
59

Kanade

Listen

But I've never done any modeling before...
I'm not sure I'll be able to do your piece justice.
60

Saki

Listen

Not a problem!
If it's you, Kanade... I just know that you'll do an amazingly good job!
61

Kanade

Listen

...
62

Saki

Listen

Oh no! I'm sorry!
I didn't mean to startle you or anything...
63

Kanade

Listen

(Me? As a model...?)
64

Kanade

Listen

(I honestly don't think I'm cut out to be one...)
65

Kanade

Listen

(But Tenma helped me a lot the other day, so I do want to return the favor somehow.)
66

Kanade

Listen

Okay...
If you believe I'm the right person...then I accept.
67

Ichika

Listen

Kanade...
68

Saki

Listen

R-Really?! Are you sure?!
69

Kanade

Listen

*Nod*
I still don't know if I'll do a good job...
70

Kanade

Listen

But I promise to do my best.
71

Saki

Listen

Thank you so much, Kanade!
72

Saki

Listen

I...! I promise I'll find a way to make you as radiant and brilliant as possible!!
73

Kanade

Listen

O-Okay.
But please go easy on me...
74

Saki

Listen

Hehe. Thank goodness.
75

Saki

Listen

I'll need some time to pick out an outfit and practice doing hair and makeup...
76

Saki

Listen

So, I'll let you know when I've got my plan of action!
77

Kanade

Listen

Okay.
78

Kanade

Listen

So, is there anything I need to do on my end...?
79

Saki

Listen

Nope! You don't have to lift a finger!
I'll take care of your outfit and stuff!
80

Kanade

Listen

Okay, that's good to hear.
81

Ichika

Listen

Kanade as a model...
82

Ichika

Listen

You have me curious now...
Would it be alright if I came and watched?
83

Kanade

Listen

I don't mind. Would that be okay, Tenma?
84

Saki

Listen

Yes, that's totally okay!
So, Ichi, I'll also let you know when everything is ready!
85

Ichika

Listen

Thanks.
I'm actually pretty excited.
86

Saki

Listen

Me too!
87

Kanade

Listen

(Me... As a model...)
88

Kanade

Listen

(Will I really be able to pull it off...?)
