Honami

Listen

Excuse me, Ms. Yoisaki.
Thank you for having me today.
2

Kanade

Listen

Thank you as well.
3

Honami

Listen

I'll start cleaning and make enough food to last you a few days. Is there anything you'd like to eat tonight?
4

Kanade

Listen

Tonight...?
Not particularly.
I'll leave it up to you.
5

Honami

Listen

Okay.
It's starting to get chilly, so why don't I make you something that's nice and warm.
6

Kanade

Listen

Yes, it has been getting chilly.
It was so cold the other day when I went out to run an errand.
7

Honami

Listen

Hehe. That's very common during a transitional period, so please try to keep warm and stay healthy.
8

Kanade

Listen

You too, Ms. Mochizuki.
Thank you.
9

Honami

Listen

I will. Anyway, I'll start cleaning...

Honami

Listen

Oh...?
11

Kanade

Listen

Is something the matter?
12

Honami

Listen

No, it's just...
I think my friend has this exact same CD.
13

Kanade

Listen

Oh, really?
Then, your friend must like this artist too.
14

Kanade

Listen

Also, this isn't actually my CD.
15

Honami

Listen

Oh, it isn't?
16

Kanade

Listen

No. I went to the CD shop the other day to buy a copy, but there was only one left. This other person seemed to really want it, so I let them have it.
17

Kanade

Listen

Luckily, a friend of mine just happened to know this person, so I was able to borrow it from them.
18

Honami

Listen

What...?
19

Honami

Listen

Excuse me if I'm wrong, but does this friend of yours happened to be named Asahina?
20

Kanade

Listen

Yes, how did you know...?
21

Honami

Listen

A few days ago, my friend was talking about handing over her CD to Asahina.
22

Honami

Listen

She even mentioned how this was the last copy and the way this other person let her have it...
23

Kanade

Listen

...?
24

Honami

Listen

My friend even showed me some of the videos that this person made and the music just sounded so similar to what you usually play, Ms. Yoisaki.
25

Kanade

Listen

I see...
Thank you for listening to our music.
26

Kanade

Listen

Oh, before I forget...
Would you mind returning this CD to your friend for me?
27

Kanade

Listen

I know I should be asking Mafuyu to do this instead of you, Ms. Mochizuki...
28

Kanade

Listen

I found something that probably means quite a bit to your friend with it, so I'd like to get it back to them as soon as possible...
29

Honami

Listen

Something that means a lot to her...?
30

Honami

Listen

Okay, I understand.
I'll take it back to her.
31

Kanade

Listen

Thank you. I appreciate it.
32

Kanade

Listen

Also, I was surprised to hear from Mafuyu that she knew the person I ran into, but to think that you were her friend too...
33

Honami

Listen

I'm just as surprised...!
I never knew that you were friends with Asahina.
34

Kanade

Listen

Friends...?
35

Honami

Listen

And well...
I'm glad it turned out to be you.
36

Honami

Listen

Hehe. Knowing that makes me happy.
37

Kanade

Listen

It does...?
38

Honami

Listen

Oh, I'm sorry.
It's just so interesting how my friend ended up meeting you in such a way.
39

Kanade

Listen

Yes, this artist isn't that well known, so I was surprised to meet another one of their fans too.
40

Kanade

Listen

But I'm also glad to have had that encounter.
41

Honami

Listen

Um, Ms. Yoisaki...?
42

Honami

Listen

Would you like to meet my friend...? That is, if you'd like to...
43

Kanade

Listen

M-Me meeting her?
44

Honami

Listen

Yes. She also mentioned how she was hoping to talk more with you.
45

Honami

Listen

She seems to want to get to know you better as both a fellow songwriter and a fan of Miku songs.
46

Kanade

Listen

I see...
47

Kanade

Listen

(I've never actually made that much of an emotional investment into Miku songs but...)

Kanade

Listen

...
49

Honami

Listen

Again, you don't have to if don't like...
50

Kanade

Listen

Okay.
I'd like to thank her for the CD, so would you mind setting us up?
51

Honami

Listen

R-Really...?
52

Kanade

Listen

Yes. I'm yet to meet anyone outside of my group who makes their own songs, so I'd like to take this opportunity to talk with your friend.
53

Honami

Listen

Oh, thank you so much...!
Hehe. She'll be so happy to hear this!
54

Kanade

Listen

That's good to hear.
55

Kanade

Listen

Oh, there's actually one more thing that I'd like to ask you...
56

Honami

Listen

Yes?
57

Kanade

Listen

Would you mind joining us for this? I honestly don't really get out much, so I may have some trouble keeping a conversation going.
58

Honami

Listen

Hehe. I'd be happy to.
I'll be sure to work it into my schedule.
59

Kanade

Listen

Thank you very much.

Mafuyu

Listen

...
61

Miku

Listen

Is everything okay, Mafuyu?
Is something bothering you?
62

Mafuyu

Listen

Maybe. I'm not sure...
Something has been on my mind.
63

Miku

Listen

Care to explain?
64

Mafuyu

Listen

Well, it's about the CD I helped Kanade get...

Sound Effect: Play

65

Kanade

Listen

I couldn't be happier since I'd given up on being able to listen to it.
66

Miku

Listen

I see...
Good for you, Kanade.
67

Kanade

Listen

Thank you...
68

Mafuyu

Listen

That time... The way she smiled made my chest feel so warm for some reason.
69

Mafuyu

Listen

Before she'd even listened to it too. Why is that...?
70

Mafuyu

Listen

...
71

Miku

Listen

Mafuyu...
72

Kanade

Listen

Mafuyu, I knew I'd find you here.
73

Mafuyu

Listen

Is something the matter, Kanade...?
74

Kanade

Listen

Yes, there's something I need to report to you. Also, Miku mentioned before how she wanted to listen to this CD.
75

Miku

Listen

Report...?
76

Miku

Listen

So you get to meet the girl who lent you this CD...?
77

Kanade

Listen

Yes. As it turns out, she's a friend of Ms. Mochizuki from the housekeeping service I use.
78

Kanade

Listen

I believe it'll also be a good learning experience since I hardly ever get to meet other people who make their own music like this...
79

Mafuyu

Listen

I see.
80

Kanade

Listen

Yes, and I was wondering if you'd like to join us, Mafuyu...
81

Mafuyu

Listen

Why...?
You don't need me to be there, Kanade.
82

Mafuyu

Listen

I see Hoshino at school on a regular basis, so I don't see any point in me going.
83

Kanade

Listen

Okay, I'm sorry...
84

Kanade

Listen

I was just wondering if you'd be interested since she's also trying to create her own music.
85

Mafuyu

Listen

...
86

Kanade

Listen

Not only that, you're the one who sort of brought us together, so it'd be nice to have you there with me.
87

Mafuyu

Listen

All I did was bring her CD to you...
88

Miku

Listen

Are you sure you don't want to go, Mafuyu?
89

Mafuyu

Listen

Huh...?
90

Miku

Listen

You seemed to be mulling over something just now.
91

Miku

Listen

Could it be that you were wondering if going with Kanade will help you find some answers?
92

Mafuyu

Listen

...
93

Mafuyu

Listen

Maybe...
94

Kanade

Listen

Is something bothering you, Mafuyu?
Is everything okay...?
95

Mafuyu

Listen

Yes, there's nothing to worry about.
96

Mafuyu

Listen

(But what if Miku's right...?
If going with Kanade means discovering something...)
97

Mafuyu

Listen

...
98

Mafuyu

Listen

Okay, I'll go...
99

Miku

Listen

Mafuyu...
100

Mafuyu

Listen

Would you mind telling me when you'll be meeting them once you know more?
101

Kanade

Listen

Y-Yes, of course...!
I'll be sure to let you know.
102

Kanade

Listen

Thank you, Mafuyu.
103

Mafuyu

Listen

You're welcome...
