Minori
She's even in a band with her childhood friends and they're all trying to go pro together!

Minori
Seeing that I know the friends of my friends is kinda perplexing, but also makes me really happy.

Yoisaki, I was so surprised to hear that you knew Minori... Oh, but I don't think I've met your friend here... Um...
Ena
Oh, I'm Ena Shinonome.
Nice to meet you. I draw illustrations for the music group Kanade and I are in.

Ichika
I saw you guys' music video the other day and really loved the illustrations! I thought it was wonderful!
Ichika
Yes! I almost couldn't believe how well it captured the song's theme! It was really incredible!
Ena
Well, it's really nothing special...
But it's nice to hear you say that since I do put a lot of thought into my art.

Minori
After some discussion, we all decided to head over to SpoJoy Park together to work on building our stamina!
Kanade
Hanasato saved us by suggesting to try it out since exercising outside isn't exactly easy right now.
Ichika
Minori, I didn't realize that you and Yoisaki were so close. You calling her Kanade sort of startled me a little.
Ena
Yeah, I thought the same thing just now. Is it because you helped her out the other day?
Minori
I'm so sorry!!
Kanade... Wait, no! I mean... You're so tiny and adorable that I just assumed we're around the same age!

Kanade
And you don't have to be formal at all with me. Call me what you're comfortable with.
Ena
Yeah, you don't have to be formal with us. I mean, we're not at school, so let's just talk without caring about how old we all are.
Ichika
I-I'm sorry.
It's just... I'm not very used to these sorts of situations, so I can't help but talk like that...

(Come to think of it, singing isn't just about the physical act of singing. You need good stamina and a high lung capacity to be able to project your voice to the back of big live houses.)

Ichika
It is nice. It's hard to believe that it's so hot out, and we won't have to worry about getting heat stroke while we're here.
Ena
Wow, you really can play all sorts of different sports... They've got basketball and tennis courts...
Ena
They're so popular because of how cute they are... They'd look great in a selfie too, so I kinda want one...
Minori
Wait, yeah! It's PenPyon!
Haruka's really into that character right now, so maybe she'd like it if I got her one...

Haha. You can ask for as many rematches as you want, but you're never gonna beat me!
Junior High Schoolers
Grr! You're the worst!

They've been trying over and over again. They seem adamant about getting a plushie.
