Alright, everyone, great work!!
Cheers!!

Cheers.

Yeah, yeah. Cheers.
Way too excited as usual. Mind calming down a bit?

...

Then there's you two. This is a party, you know...?

What are you looking at on your phone, Mafuyu?

The comments.

Whoa! You almost never do that, Mafuyu! So, what do you think?

There are a lot more longer comments than usual.

Oh, that? Not what everyone's been saying? Okay, sure but...

Hey, someone commented about my illustrations!

They said, “Great use of color.”
I guess some people really do pay attention. I worked so hard on giving everything more light by using brighter colors!

I see.

Ugh... You just don't care, do you...?!

Thank goodness...

Our song is reaching all these people... I'm so glad...

Yeah, Kanade, that's right!
So let's celebrate and eat as much as we can!

So here are some of my fries!
We should split some dessert later too♪

Hehe.
Thank you, Mizuki.

Thank you for your patience.
Here's your tea.

Thank you.

Hm? You're not getting what Kanade got today?

No, she got ramen with extra pork and I'm not very hungry right now.

Okay...? Then, why did you get that?

Why...?
No reason in particular.

You weren't really able to choose anything on your own like this up until recently, so maybe you have been making progress...

I'm not sure...

Fine, whatever.
Let's hope that you figure it out soon...

Now you're starting to bug me...

Huh?! Seriously?!
What's that supposed to mean?!

Whoa, girl! There, there!
Just try to settle down...

Isn't that what you say to calm down a horse?

And who exactly are you calling a horse?!

Hehe...

Haha...!

(Being with everyone like this really is fun.)

(It's like I can just be myself when I'm with them.)

*Sigh*
I'm exhausted from talking so much.

We started at noon but it's already getting dark.

Are we done for today?

Yup!
See you later on Nightcord...

Hey!
Mizuki, is that you?

Huh?

I knew it!
Talk about a coincidence!

An?!

An, you shouldn't just... Wait!

Hey, where are you going...? Hm?

Hi, Kohane! Oh, Li'l Bro and Toya are here too!

A-Akiyama!
I've been meaning to thank you for what you did for me during the School Festival...!

It's all good. There's no need to thank me!

Hey, Akiyama. How long's it been? Since the Summer Festival?

We haven't seen you in a while. How have you been?

Yeah, it has been a while, but I've been good! More importantly, what are you guys all doing here?

We just did an event and were on our way home! Hm? Who's that with you...?

Oh, they're from that music group I was telling you about! We were just celebrating our latest song.

Really? That's great!
I'm An Shiraishi, Mizuki's classmate.

Oh, hello...
I'm Kanade Yoisaki.

My name is Mafuyu Asahina.
It's a pleasure to meet you.

That just leaves...

There you are...

What's that supposed to mean?

Ah, Ena. Hello.

Anyway, what are you doing here?

I could ask you the same.

Wait, Akito, is she your sister?

Yeah, unfortunately...

Excuse me? Unfortunately?
Did you forget that I'm the eldest?

Haha!
You two are so close!

How...?

But it's nice to finally meet you! I'm glad we ran into each other like this!

Akito talks about you all the time, so I've been waiting for a chance to chat with you!

O-Oh, sure...

Look, Ena's being overwhelmed by An's cheerful persona!

Shut up...

Oh, wait... You said that you're celebrating. Sorry for interrupting like this!

No, it's okay. We were actually just about to call it a day.

Perfect.
That means we can split.

But before you do...!
Can I ask you something...?

Sure, what's up?

You said you're Mizuki's classmate, right, Shiraishi? I was wondering what Mizuki's like at school...

(Oh, geez...)

What Mizuki's like...?

E-Ena, what's gotten into you all of a sudden...?!

Hey, fair's fair. You're the one who keeps pressing my buttons, so think of it as payback!

Hmm... At school...

...

I'd have to say, “A free spirit!”
You never know when Mizuki's gonna be in class but doesn't actually get bad grades. I'm actually really jealous!

At the same time, the teachers are all keeping an eye out for you because of all the time you've missed♪

Yikes...

You didn't have to go that far, An!

Mizuki gets good grades?
I didn't see that coming...

Yeah. Not just good at cramming for tests either. Mizuki's a really great teacher too.

Really?
That's incredible.

I agree.

S-Stop, you're making me blush...

Oh, I'll have to excuse myself. I should get home before curfew...

Right.
I need to get started on our next demo too.

Alright, we'll call things here too.

Thanks, Shiraishi!

Bye, everyone!

Okay.
Bye.

Later, guys!
