Kanade

Listen

Phew. That should be enough for a first draft...
3

Kanade

Listen

All that's left is to see what everyone else thinks and work out any details.
4

Kanade

Listen

I need to start thinking about our next song too. Ideally, I'll be able to start working on it as soon as we're finished with this one.

6

Mafuyu

Listen

But I liked it, I think...
7

Kanade

Listen

(It was only just slightly... But Mafuyu's expression clearly changed that time.)
8

Kanade

Listen

(I still haven't been able to save her...)
9

Kanade

Listen

But I think I'll find a way as long as I keep composing...
10

Kanade

Listen

(And in order to accomplish that, I'll have to start taking different approaches.)
11

Kanade

Listen

Listening to more kinds of songs may be a good place to start...
12

Kanade

Listen

I've been so focused on composing lately that I haven't had a chance to do that...
13

Kanade

Listen

Let's see what's happening online.

14

Kanade

Listen

Hmm... Which genre...? Huh...?
15

Kanade

Listen

Oh, this artist posted a new video...?
I thought they retired...

16

Kanade

Listen

I see. They decided to come back...
17

Kanade

Listen

Their new song sounds nice...
I was worried that I'd never be able to listen to their music again after they deleted everything after retiring.
18

Kanade

Listen

Hm? Their comment keeps going...
19

Kanade

Listen

Let's see...
<Breaking news: I will be participating in the next Fan Festival>...?
20

Kanade

Listen

The Fan Festival...?
What's this about...?

Mizuki

Listen

What?! You're going to the Fan Festival?!
22

Kanade

Listen

Y-Yes...
Would that be bad?
23

Ena

Listen

No, I didn't say that... It's just... Why?
24

Kanade

Listen

This artist who went into retirement for a while is going to be there, so I'd like to hear their music.
25

Mafuyu

Listen

Can't you just do that at home? You don't have to go out of your way to do just that...
26

Kanade

Listen

Actually, they deleted all of their videos when they retired and haven't released any CDs or anything, so it's very difficult to find their music.
27

Rin

Listen

Oh, interesting.
28

Mizuki

Listen

And it's pretty rare of you to want to go somewhere that's gonna be super crowded, Kanade.
29

Ena

Listen

You like this person's music that much?
30

Kanade

Listen

Yes, I do...
Also...
31

Miku

Listen

...?
32

Kanade

Listen

I thought it'd be nice to go out to enjoy music for a change, like we did during the Summer Festival.
33

Ena

Listen

Oh, you mean when Akito performed?
34

Mizuki

Listen

Yeah, he was pretty good, but it was fun getting to see other artists perform too!
35

Kanade

Listen

Exactly. I liked how the fairgrounds were fully immersed in the sound of music.
36

Mafuyu

Listen

Immersed in music...
37

Luka

Listen

What did you think of that show, Mafuyu?
38

Mafuyu

Listen

I'm not sure, but I don't think it was bad...
39

Luka

Listen

I see. That's good to hear.
40

MEIKO

Listen

...
41

Ena

Listen

Okay, I just looked up the Fan Festival. It says everything's taking place indoors.
42

Ena

Listen

Not being outdoors like before will probably make it easier to check everything out, right?
43

Kanade

Listen

Yes, much. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to handle an event like this.
44

Ena

Listen

Hehe. Should be good.
It sounds fun, so why don't we all go?
45

Kanade

Listen

Huh? All of us...?
46

Ena

Listen

Yes, all of us.
Right, Mizuki?
47

Mizuki

Listen

What? Me too?
48

Mizuki

Listen

Actually, sure...!
Kanade wants to go out for a change, so I'm in!
49

Ena

Listen

Great! That makes me, Kanade, Mizuki and...!
50

Mizuki

Listen

You're coming too, right, Mafuyu?
51

Mafuyu

Listen

What's the point in me going?
52

Ena

Listen

What's the point...?
We're gonna go see a show and have fun. What more is there to it?
53

Mafuyu

Listen

Have fun...
54

Mafuyu

Listen

I don't know if the last show we saw was fun or not.
55

Kanade

Listen

...
56

Mizuki

Listen

Okay, well...
What if you thought about it like this?
57

Mizuki

Listen

It'll be a nice chance to hear different kinds of music, which might even help you figure out who the “real you” is!
58

Mafuyu

Listen

The real me...?
59

Mizuki

Listen

Yeah! You might not really know it now, but you might feel something again like when you heard Kanade's song the other day!
60

Mizuki

Listen

By hearing a bunch of different kinds of music, you might start discovering what you like and dislike, you know?
61

Mizuki

Listen

Which might lead to you understanding who you really are!
62

Mafuyu

Listen

...
63

Mizuki

Listen

How about it, Mafuyu? Wanna come with us?
64

Ena

Listen

Mizuki...
Mafuyu isn't gonna just...
65

Mafuyu

Listen

Okay.
66

Ena

Listen

What?! Just like that?!
67

Mafuyu

Listen

If it means me finding my true self...
68

Mizuki

Listen

Awesome! That settles that♪
69

Mizuki

Listen

We're all going, Kanade!
70

Kanade

Listen

Thank you...
71

Miku

Listen

Kanade
72

Kanade

Listen

Yes, Miku...?
73

Miku

Listen

Have fun.
74

Kanade

Listen

Okay, I will...
