Mizuki

Listen

That reminds me, if these cherry blossoms are already blooming, that means a new term's about to start...
2

Mizuki

Listen

What do you think would happen if we ended up being in the same class?
3

Ena

Listen

The same class?
Hmm... That's hard to say.
4

Ena

Listen

We'd have to do P.E. and stuff together, right? I really can't see us doing that.
5

Kanade

Listen

P.E...?
I don't like being tired, so I'd rather not...
6

Mizuki

Listen

Then I can help you build up some stamina!
Exercising's my forte after all♪
7

Kanade

Listen

I understand that it's good to have stamina, but if it means being tired then...
8

Mizuki

Listen

Haha. I knew you'd say that! But ask me anytime if you want to learn how to have fun workouts!
9

Mizuki

Listen

And we can ask Mafuyu about any actual schoolwork, right?
10

Mafuyu

Listen

I can only show her what the answers are...
11

Mizuki

Listen

Great! That's totally fine!
12

Ena

Listen

No, that completely defeats the point!
13

Mizuki

Listen

What do you think our class would be like if we were all together?
14

Mafuyu

Listen

Ena would be late every day...
15

Ena

Listen

What? I'm right here, you know?
16

Mafuyu

Listen

That's what came to mind.
17

Kanade

Listen

But you'd show up for every art class.
18

Mizuki

Listen

She would! Plus, the way she shrugs and grunts and yells, ”This isn't right!” would really get on other people's nerves!
19

Ena

Listen

What?! I don't do that?!
20

Mizuki

Listen

Wait, you don't know?
21

Ena

Listen

Huh? No way, I really do those things...?
22

Kanade

Listen

You forget to mute yourself sometimes...
23

Mafuyu

Listen

Sometimes? She does it fairly often...
24

Ena

Listen

W-Why didn't you say anything?!
25

Mizuki

Listen

Hahaha!
But you're working so hard, and I kinda like hearing what you're up to.
26

Ena

Listen

You're one to talk.
I mean, you're always...
27

Mizuki

Listen

Whew, I'm spent. We just ended up chatting like always in the end.
28

Ena

Listen

Did we really need to come all the way out to this creepy place if you knew this would happen...?
29

Kanade

Listen

But I'm glad we did.
30

Kanade

Listen

I think I can make our song now too.
31

Mizuki

Listen

Huh? Really?
32

Kanade

Listen

Yes. All thanks to you showing us around all these places and telling us those stories, Mizuki.
33

Ena

Listen

No way. Your song's gonna include stuff from those stories?
34

Kanade

Listen

Yes. I learned that there are people that couldn't be saved or can't rest in peace, like those sisters from the shrine or the girl from the school...
35

Kanade

Listen

I thought about what sort of songs would be able to save each of them and an image popped into my head...
36

Kanade

Listen

So thank you, Mizuki.
37

Mizuki

Listen

I'm glad I could help...!!
38

Mizuki

Listen

I learned that you, Kanade and Ena, were bigger scaredy cats than I realized too, but I'm glad things worked out in the end for us!
39

Ena

Listen

How did being scared help me...? But I guess I can draw some inspiration from those cherry blossoms.
40

Mafuyu

Listen

Um, are we okay for time...?
I remember someone saying the last bus comes at 5...
41

Mizuki

Listen

Oh, right.
We should go!
42

Kanade

Listen

How were things today, Mafuyu?
43

Mafuyu

Listen

We went somewhere I normally wouldn't go so...
44

Mafuyu

Listen

I thought it was interesting.
45

Kanade

Listen

I see. That's good.
46

Ena

Listen

If you really feel that way, you could let it show a little more, you know...?
47

Mafuyu

Listen

Ena's emotions were on full display.
48

Ena

Listen

Of course they were! This place was unbelievably creepy!
49

Mizuki

Listen

Hehe...
50

Mizuki

Listen

(I'm glad they all had a good time.)
51

Mizuki

Listen

(I had a lot of fun today too. Especially when I got to see a part of everyone I normally wouldn't.)
52

Mizuki

Listen

(I hope we can keep doing stuff like this... Maybe next year we can... Next year...)
53

Mizuki

Listen

(Yeah! Let's do that!)
54

Mizuki

Listen

Hey, everyone!
55

Ena

Listen

Hm? What is it?
56

Mizuki

Listen

Today was so much fun that I thought we could do something like this next year...

Mizuki

Next... Year...
58

Kanade

Listen

Mizuki...?
59

Mizuki

Listen

(Wait, what's going on...?)
60

Mizuki

Listen

(My chest feels tight... I can't say anything...)
61

Kanade

Listen

Is something wrong?
62

Mizuki

Listen

Oh, um...
63

Mizuki

Listen

Haha. I forgot what I was about to say...
64

Ena

Listen

Huh? Aren't you a little too young for that to start happening?
65

Ena

Listen

And the bus is gonna be here any minute. We need to hurry!
66

Mizuki

Listen

Oh, um. Right!
