Q.E.D...

Mafuyu

Listen

I'm finally done with homework for today...
3

Mafuyu

Listen

And it's almost 25:00...
I need to log onto Nightcord.

Mafuyu

Listen

<Is anybody there?>
5

Mafuyu

Listen

No response...
Looks like they're not even logged in.
6

Mafuyu

Listen

Oh, that's right...
We're supposed to meet in SEKAI today.
7

Mafuyu

Listen

Kanade wanted to talk in person about the video and lyrics for our new song.
8

Mafuyu

Listen

(That song Kanade made...)

9

Mafuyu

Listen

I'm not sure how to describe it...
10

Mafuyu

Listen

But I liked it, I think...
11

Kanade

Listen

Huh...?
12

Mizuki

Listen

Mafuyu smiled...?!
13

Mafuyu

Listen

Why do you all look so surprised?
14

Ena

Listen

Wait, you have no idea what you just did?
15

Mizuki

Listen

You smiled, Mafuyu! It's because of Kanade's song!
16

Mafuyu

Listen

I did...?
17

Mafuyu

Listen

(That song...)
18

Mafuyu

Listen

(It started off like any other song, but something began welling up inside my chest as I kept listening.)
19

Mafuyu

Listen

(Yet it felt different somehow...)

Sound Effect: Play

20

Mafuyu

Listen

It felt... A little warm...
21

Mafuyu

Listen

...
22

Mafuyu

Listen

How did that happen?
23

Mafuyu

Listen

Why did that song make me feel that way?
24

Mafuyu

Listen

Why did I smile...?
25

Mafuyu

Listen

...
I'm starting to get a headache...

Miku

Listen

Oh, Mizuki's here...
27

Kanade

Listen

Okay, that just leaves Mafuyu.
28

Luka

Listen

Hehe. This SEKAI's quietness had a nice charm to it, but it is nice to have visitors like this from time to time.
29

Mizuki

Listen

Sorry, am I late to the party?
30

Ena

Listen

Yeah, you are!
Where were you? Do you know how long you kept us waiting?
31

Mizuki

Listen

Okay, I said I'm sorry. I found these really cute materials for our video and sort of lost track of time after I started playing around with them...
32

Mizuki

Listen

Also, where's Mafuyu?
33

Kanade

Listen

She should be here soon.
She said that she just finished doing her homework.
34

Mizuki

Listen

Okay, sounds good. Time to hurry up and wait! What should we do in the meantime? How about a word game?
35

Ena

Listen

No way. We're not little kids, you know?
36

Mizuki

Listen

Aww, come on! Don't be like that...
37

Mafuyu

Listen

I'm here...
38

Mizuki

Listen

Hey, Mafuyu, there you are!
39

Mafuyu

Listen

Sorry for being late.
40

Kanade

Listen

No, it's okay. We knew that you were busy.
41

Rin

Listen

So what are you actually doing here today...? You mentioned something about having a discussion.
42

Kanade

Listen

Remember that song I composed the other day? I want to find a way to make it so it resonates with more people.
43

Kanade

Listen

I asked everyone to meet here today to talk about what I'd like this song to do before we gave it lyrics and made a video for it.
44

Miku

Listen

Resonate with more people...?
45

Ena

Listen

If we're gonna make that happen, I'll have to up my art game!
46

Mizuki

Listen

Yeah.
It was clear to me how much effort you put into that song, Kanade.
47

Mizuki

Listen

I mean, it was so good!
Like K's reached a whole new level!
48

Mizuki

Listen

Not only that, you made Mafuyu smile. Who would've guessed that would happen?
49

Ena

Listen

True...
That honestly left me a little staggered.
50

Mizuki

Listen

I know, right?
I can't wait to see what kind of lyrics you write for this song, Mafuyu!
51

Mizuki

Listen

Uh, Mafuyu...?
52

Mafuyu

Listen

...
53

Mizuki

Listen

Is something wrong...?
54

Mafuyu

Listen

No...
55

Ena

Listen

Are you sure? You seem more expressionless than usual...
56

Kanade

Listen

Did something happen...?
57

Mafuyu

Listen

...
58

Luka

Listen

Oh, I see...
59

Luka

Listen

She's found the key to the door that she's been searching for, but doesn't know where the keyhole is, maybe?
60

Kanade

Listen

The keyhole...?
I don't understand...

61

Luka

Listen

It's difficult to explain, but I believe Mafuyu knows what I mean.
62

Mafuyu

Listen

...
63

Mafuyu

Listen

I just don't understand...
64

Kanade

Listen

Mafuyu...?
65

Mafuyu

Listen

I kept running circles in my head thinking about why your song made me smile, Kanade...
66

Mafuyu

Listen

Something welled up inside my chest that time. That's probably what made me smile.
67

Mafuyu

Listen

But I don't understand why that happened... I just don't know.
68

Ena

Listen

What do you mean why? You felt that way because Kanade's song really touched your heart, right...?
69

Mafuyu

Listen

It did...?
70

Mafuyu

Listen

But why was I so touched by it?
71

Mafuyu

Listen

No other song has made me feel this way so far. Why this song? Why did it feel so warm?
72

Ena

Listen

H-How am I supposed to know...?!
73

Kanade

Listen

But you want to know why you smiled...
74

Mizuki

Listen

You might not know now, but you might find the answer you're looking for if you give it a little time, right...?
75

Mizuki

Listen

But at the same time, you probably want to know why before you start writing your lyrics, huh?
76

Mafuyu

Listen

...
77

Miku

Listen

What do you think, Mafuyu?
78

Mafuyu

Listen

I...
79

Mafuyu

Listen

I want to find an answer...
80

Ena

Listen

Look, we get that...
But how exactly do you plan on doing that?
81

Mafuyu

Listen

Well...
82

Kanade

Listen

Then, why don't we think about it together...?
83

Mafuyu

Listen

Together...?
84

Kanade

Listen

Yes. I too want to learn more about why you felt the way you did, Mafuyu.
85

Kanade

Listen

So let's find an answer together, okay...?
86

Mafuyu

Listen

...
87

Mafuyu

Listen

Okay.
Sure.
88

Mafuyu

Listen

But how exactly do I...
89

Mafuyu

Listen

...
90

Miku

Listen

Mafuyu...?!
91

Kanade

Listen

Mafuyu, what's wrong?!
92

Mizuki

Listen

Uh oh, hold up...!
Mafuyu, mind if I feel your forehead?

94

Ena

Listen

Wait, you're running a fever?!
Are you sure you're okay?!
95

Mafuyu

Listen

Yes. I'm just feeling a little lightheaded...
96

Ena

Listen

That hardly counts as being okay.
Ugh, there really aren't any dull moments when it comes to you...
97

Kanade

Listen

Let's postpone this discussion until after Mafuyu's fever breaks...
98

Kanade

Listen

Please, go home and get some rest.
99

Mafuyu

Listen

Okay...
100

Mizuki

Listen

Alright, let's call it an evening, and make sure to get some good sleep in, Mafuyu.
101

Ena

Listen

Don't forget to stay warm and hydrated too.
102

Miku

Listen

Mafuyu...
103

Mafuyu

Listen

Thank you...
I'm sure it's just a cold, so I should be all better soon.

(A fever. That explains why my head felt so heavy and foggy this morning...)

Mafuyu

Listen

(I should rest...
But...)
107

Mafuyu

Listen

(I still want to know why that song made me smile... As soon as possible...)
