Empty SEKAI
Mizuki
Okay, just to be clear...
Mizuki
Kanade, you're in a slump?
Kanade
I'm so sorry...
Mafuyu
You said you've been working on it...
Kanade
I know...
Ena
Hey, leave her alone. It's not like she wants to be in a slump or anything. No one does.
Ena
I understand completely. I have to draw and redraw something over and over again sometimes because I can't quite get an illustration to match the image I have in my head.
Mafuyu
Sometimes? Don't you mean all the time?
Ena
Shut up!
Rin
So why are you all here...?
Rin
Also, it's hard to ignore you when you're being so loud...
Miku
Didn't you say that it was fun when they all came here last time...?
Rin
...
Rin
So why are you all here...?
Mizuki
(Oh, she just ignored her...)
Kanade
I wasn't coming up with any ideas on my own, so I thought it'd be better to ask you all in person...
Ena
Mizuki and I don't know much about composing, but maybe Mafuyu can help...?
Mafuyu
Nothing I say will make a difference...
Mafuyu
I don't know how to create a song that can save someone.
Kanade
Okay...
Kanade
I was grasping at straws and hoping for a serendipity maybe but...
Miku
What if you tried doing something new or different...?
Kanade
Huh?
Rin
She's right. You won't get anywhere at this rate. What if you did something that you've never done before?
Mizuki
Something new...
Mizuki
Wait, I know...!
Miku
Oh...?
Ena
Hm? What's the matter, Miku?
Rin
She's coming...
Ena
Huh?
???
Oh...
MEIKO
You all gathered to greet me, I see?
Miku
MEIKO...
Ena & Mizuki
<What?!>
Mizuki
This is nuts!
First Rin and now MEIKO?
First Rin and now MEIKO?
Ena
I know, right? And that doll the other time too. Everything just seems to appear out of thin air here.
Mizuki
But at the very least, we can all get to know each other and...
MEIKO
Let me just start by saying that I'd rather not get involved anything...
Ena
Huh?
MEIKO
Miku and Rin should be more than enough for now, no?
MEIKO
I plan to keep my distance and observe how things go for you.
Mizuki
Observe...?
MEIKO
Please, act as if I'm not even here.
MEIKO
You can ignore me and continue your conversation...
Kanade
Um... Okay...
Ena
She seems pretty cold...
Mafuyu
Does she?
Ena
I wasn't asking you.
Mizuki
Maybe a little bit, but we can come back to that later...
Mizuki
I'm Mizuki Akiyama!
Starting from your left, this is Kanade, Mafuyu and Ena! Nice to meet you, MEIKO!
Starting from your left, this is Kanade, Mafuyu and Ena! Nice to meet you, MEIKO!
MEIKO
I just said that you should ignore me...
Mizuki
But you should at least know our names, right...?
MEIKO
Fine...
Mafuyu
Anyways, what should we do...?
Ena
Well, we should try something new so...
Mizuki
Yeah!
And I have a suggestion!
And I have a suggestion!
Mizuki
How about we all go on a one-day mystery tour?!
Kanade
A one-day mystery tour...?
Rin
What's a mystery tour?
Mizuki
It's a kind of trip where you have no idea where you're actually going, or something along those lines...
Mizuki
I'll come up with where we'll be going, so all you have to do is follow me!
Mizuki
I promise that it'll be jam-packed with fun surprises! How's that sound?
Mizuki
If we go to a bunch of places we've never been to before, Kanade might be able come up with some good ideas, right?
Ena
Okay, I'll bite...
Mafuyu
Me too. Anything if it helps Kanade with her music.
Kanade
I know...
Kanade
Right... We should be doing everything we can for this song...
Kanade
Let's go, Mizuki.
Mizuki
Awesome...!
Mizuki
Get ready for an amazing mystery tour! I'll let you guys know when I get everything in place!
MEIKO
