1

Mafuyu

Listen

Here's that CD you told me about, Kanade.
2

Kanade

Listen

Thank you, Mafuyu.
3

Mafuyu

Listen

You don't have to thank me. I'm just acting as a liaison.
4

Kanade

Listen

But I'll be able to listen to this now because you went through all this trouble.
5

Kanade

Listen

So again, thank you.
6

Mafuyu

Listen

Okay...
7

Miku

Listen

Oh, Kanade, Mafuyu, you're here.
8

Kanade

Listen

Yes, Mafuyu brought me a CD just now.
9

Miku

Listen

A CD...?
10

Kanade

Listen

It's by an artist who produces VIRTUAL SINGER songs. I'm borrowing it from a girl at Mafuyu's school.
11

Kanade

Listen

I couldn't be happier since I'd given up on being able to listen to it.
12

Miku

Listen

I see...
Good for you, Kanade.
13

Kanade

Listen

Thank you...
14

Mafuyu

Listen

...
15

Miku

Listen

Mafuyu?
16

Kanade

Listen

Hm? Is something wrong?
17

Mafuyu

Listen

It's nothing.
18

Mafuyu

Listen

It's just, hearing what you said just now...
19

Kanade

Listen

Yes?
20

Mafuyu

Listen

It made my chest feel warm...
21

Kanade

Listen

Huh...?
22

Miku

Listen

Kanade, would it be alright if I could listen to that CD too?
23

Kanade

Listen

Yes, of course.
I'll bring a CD player next time so we can all listen to it.
24

Kanade

Listen

And thank you again, Mafuyu.
I promise to return this once I'm done... Huh?
25

Mafuyu

Listen

Is everything okay...?
26

Kanade

Listen

There's a sheet of paper in this bag.
Is this yours, Mafuyu?
27

Mafuyu

Listen

No, it's not mine...
28

Kanade

Listen

Then, it must belong to the owner of this CD. She may've put it in here by accident.
29

Mafuyu

Listen

Maybe.
30

Mafuyu

Listen

Oh, are those...?
31

Kanade

Listen

Yes?
32

Mafuyu

Listen

Are those lyrics?
33

Miku

Listen

Lyrics?
34

Kanade

Listen

Oh, you're right...
These might be hers.
35

Mafuyu

Listen

She mentioned that she's in a band and they're making their own music to become professional musicians...
36

Kanade

Listen

Wow, professional musicians...?
37

Mafuyu

Listen

She also said that they've been learning how to actually create their own music, and she personally seemed very interested in you, Kanade.
38

Kanade

Listen

M-Me?
39

Mafuyu

Listen

She even asked what kind of music you compose, so I shared a link to our videos with her.
40

Kanade

Listen

I see...
41

Kanade

Listen

I might be interested in hearing how she feels after seeing what we've made...
42

Mafuyu

Listen

43

Miku

Listen

I don't know what this person's like, but she seems to be taking her music very seriously...
44

Kanade

Listen

I agree. She seems to have written and rewritten some parts quite a few times. A lot must've been going through her mind.
45

Kanade

Listen

I have a feeling that she hasn't been able to grasp a clear image of this song yet.
46

Kanade

Listen

But...
47

Kanade

Listen

She's very straightforward.
48

Mafuyu

Listen

...
49

Kanade

Listen

It's a little different from what you write, Mafuyu, but each word seems to give me a sense of encouragement.
50

Kanade

Listen

I think this person writes good lyrics...
51

Mafuyu

Listen

Yes...
52

Miku

Listen

You agree, Mafuyu...?
53

Mafuyu

Listen

A little...
I can't write the way she does.
54

Mafuyu

Listen

I didn't expect her to write anything like this.
55

Mafuyu

Listen

So I'm a little interested now...
56

Kanade

Listen

I see...
57

Mafuyu

Listen

Yes.
58

Mafuyu

Listen

...
59

Mafuyu

Listen

(Straightforward...)
60

Mafuyu

Listen

(Hoshino must be trying to send some kind of message.)
61

Mafuyu

Listen

(Unlike me...)
