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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Great! That's totally fine!

No, that completely defeats the point!

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

Ena would be late every day...

What? I'm right here, you know?

That's what came to mind.

But you'd show up for every art class.

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

What?! I don't do that?!

Wait, you don't know?

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

You forget to mute yourself sometimes...

Sometimes? She does it fairly often...

W-Why didn't you say anything?!

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

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

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

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

But I'm glad we did.

I think I can make our song now too.

Huh? Really?

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

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

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...

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

So thank you, Mizuki.

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

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!

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

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

Oh, right.
We should go!

How were things today, Mafuyu?

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

I thought it was interesting.

I see. That's good.

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

Ena's emotions were on full display.

Of course they were! This place was unbelievably creepy!

Hehe...

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

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

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

(Yeah! Let's do that!)

Hey, everyone!

Hm? What is it?

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

Next... Year...

Mizuki...?

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

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

Is something wrong?

Oh, um...

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

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

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

Oh, um. Right!

(Why wasn't I able to say what I wanted...?)

Mizuki!

Y-Yeah!
Be right there!
