Mafuyu

Listen

<This one took quite a while.>
4

Ena

Listen

<Both the song and music video needed some fine tuning, but I thought they turned out well, right?>
5

Mizuki

Listen

<Yup! This might even be my best work yet♪>
6

Ena

Listen

<Yeah, considering how much time and attention you gave it.>
7

Ena

Listen

<And about our next song. You know how we talked about some rough themes last time?>
8

Ena

Listen

<I came up with a few sketches based on those. Mind taking a look?>
9

Mizuki

Listen

<Huh? When did you make these? I thought you were busy editing your illustrations.>
10

Ena

Listen

<While the video was in the final editing phase. Some ideas came into my head so...>
11

Mizuki

Listen

<Hehe. Looks like someone's getting excited! Plus, you'll get a better picture after you hear more of the next song.>
12

Kanade

Listen

<Sorry, about that...
I'm still working through a few ideas, so I'd like a little more time.>
13

Mizuki

Listen

<Whoa, even K can get stuck?>
14

Ena

Listen

<But there's still a bunch of time until our deadline, so you don't need to rush.>
15

Kanade

Listen

<Right...>
16

Mafuyu

Listen

<...>
17

Ena

Listen

<And... There, I've sent you my sketches...>

Mizuki

Listen

<Wow, you made a bunch...!
Aww, the third one's so cute!>
19

Mizuki

Listen

<Right, Yuki?>
20

Mafuyu

Listen

<...
I like the very last one.>
21

Ena

Listen

<Hehe. You have a good eye. I used one of the first pieces that this artist I like made as a reference...>
22

Mafuyu

Listen

<I'm not interested in that.>
23

Ena

Listen

<Y-You...! I was just trying to explain how...!>
24

Mizuki

Listen

(Hehe.
Another fun-filled day♪)
25

Mizuki

Listen

(I wouldn't have it any other way.)
26

Mizuki

Listen

<Okay, good night!>

Mhm...!
Everything's all wrapped up, so it's time for a good night's sleep♪

Mizuki

Listen

(But when Ena ran off to SEKAI that other time, I really didn't know what would happen...)

29

Mizuki

Listen

(It looks like she's having a lot more fun now, so I'm happy for her.)
30

Mizuki

Listen

(And finding out that her dad's some famous artist was a pretty big shock...)
31

Mizuki

Listen

...
32

Mizuki

Listen

(We've all been working together for a while now, but we still don't know anything about each other.)
33

Mizuki

Listen

(Maybe if we did, Ena could've talked to us about it before it sort of spun out of control...)
34

Mizuki

Listen

(But we really only talk while we're all working or meeting about how things are going...)
35

Mizuki

Listen

(Oh, wait...)
36

Mizuki

Listen

(What if we went on another little excursion like that time we all went to that Doll Exhibit?)
37

Mizuki

Listen

(Mafuyu kind of had it rough that time, but we got to know a little more about her in return.)
38

Mizuki

Listen

(Maybe we can learn more about each other by going somewhere we usually don't...!)
39

Mizuki

Listen

(But where...?)
40

Mizuki

Listen

(It's spring, so everyone goes to see cherry blossoms and stuff...)

41

Mizuki

Listen

Nah, scratch cherry blossoms...
42

Mizuki

Listen

It's gotta be more fun than... That's it!

43

Mizuki

Listen

This class is doing a haunted house!
The decorations are really good!
44

Mizuki

Listen

(I bet it would give Ena the creeps. Mafuyu doesn't seem the type to get spooked by this sort of stuff though.)
45

Mizuki

Listen

(As for Kanade, I wonder... I kind of want to see what she's like when something startles her...)
46

Mizuki

Listen

What about a haunted house or something?!
47

Mizuki

Listen

I just found that site with a list of haunted places and sort of been wanting to check them out...!
48

Mizuki

Listen

Like that really creepy tunnel or that spooky shrine...!
49

Mizuki

Listen

Oh, but...
50

Mizuki

Listen

There's no way they'll say yes to just going around and seeing stuff like this.
51

Mizuki

Listen

I need a way to goad them into going...
The next day
52

Mizuki

Listen

I'm home...
53

Mizuki

Listen

So many customers today...
I guess they all wanna get new clothes since it's finally starting to warm up again.
54

Mizuki

Listen

Now, let's get to work!
A demo for the next song should be up by now... Hm?

55

Mizuki

Listen

From Kanade?
56

Kanade's Message

Listen

<I'd like to meet in SEKAI today.>
57

Mizuki

Listen

Pretty rare of Kanade to ask us to go to SEKAI.
58

Mizuki

Listen

Did something happen...?

Hey, Mafuyu, Ena!
You beat me here!
62

Mafuyu

Listen

She sent me a message...
63

Ena

Listen

But where's the sender... Oh, there she is!
64

Kanade

Listen

...
65

Mizuki

Listen

Kanade!
66

Kanade

Listen

Hello...
67

Mizuki

Listen

It's not like you to ask us to meet here. Is something wrong?
68

Kanade

Listen

I'm sorry...
69

Mizuki

Listen

(Kanade, apologizing...?
What happened?)
70

Mizuki

Listen

It's okay, Kanade.
I'm not sure what's going on, but I'm on your side, okay?
71

Mizuki

Listen

Can you tell us what happened?
72

Kanade

Listen

Well...
73

Kanade

Listen

I haven't been able to finish the demo version...
74

Mizuki

Listen

What...?
