School SEKAI

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

Shiho

Listen

Okay, that was pretty good.
Let's call it a day.

Saki

Listen

Yay!
Shiho approved of our performance!

Shiho

Listen

You just barely passed by my standards.

Shiho

Listen

But it's late, so we can leave it for now and iron things out next time.

Luka

Listen

Hehe. You're such a perfectionist.

Miku

Listen

But it was a good session.
Well done, everyone.

Ichika

Listen

Thanks.
You were a big help too, Miku.

Ichika

Listen

I hope you'll join us next time and... Wait...

Ichika

Listen

Is this our last practice for the year?

Honami

Listen

You're right. Tomorrow's New Year's Eve...

Luka

Listen

Then you should all take some time off and enjoy the holidays.

Saki

Listen

I'm all for that! Breaks are important too after all!

Saki

Listen

So let's wrap things up here and go to a cafe or the mall...♪

Shiho

Listen

The forecast said it would snow.
We should go home soon.

Honami

Listen

Oh, and it's supposed to get really cold tonight too...

Shiho

Listen

And stores keep different hours this time of year.
I doubt we'd be able to stay for long.

Saki

Listen

Y-Yeah... Right...
But I really wanted to hang out...

Ichika

Listen

Saki...

Ichika

Listen

Oh, in that case...
How about a sleepover at my house...?

Saki

Listen

A sleepover?
YEAH!

Honami

Listen

But it's New Year's Eve tomorrow.
Won't we be bothering your parents...?

Ichika

Listen

That's okay.
They left to go to a hot spring resort yesterday.

Ichika

Listen

Plus, I think they'll be happier knowing that I'm not all alone at home.

Saki

Listen

Yay! Ichi, you're the best!

Saki

Listen

Hona, Shiho, you're coming too, right?

Honami

Listen

Yes. I'm not scheduled to work either, so I'll just need to tell my parents where I'm going.

Shiho

Listen

Same. I'm on break too so I can come.

Saki

Listen

Awesome! We're gonna have an amazing New Year's Eve♪

Ichika

Listen

You're so fired up, Saki.

Luka

Listen

Hehe. I'm glad you worked things out.

Miku

Listen

Yeah. It'll be another opportunity for you to make some great memories together.

Luka

Listen

Why don't we have a sleepover too, Miku?

Miku

Listen

I'm sure it'd be fun, but I'm afraid that it'll just turn into a guitar-training session...

Saki

Listen

Oh, since we're having a sleepover, how about we all visit a shrine together to celebrate the new year?

Honami

Listen

Oh, that'd be nice!

Shiho

Listen

Yeah, I guess we could do that.

Saki

Listen

Yay! This is gonna be awesome!

Ichika

Listen

Miku, Luka...
Would like to come with us too?

Luka

Listen

Oh, us?

Ichika

Listen

Yes, if you're interested that is...

Luka

Listen

Thanks! We'd love to come!

Miku

Listen

Me too. You only get to do this once a year so...

Shiho

Listen

But how do you plan on going?
SEKAI doesn't have any temples or shrines...

Luka

Listen

Hehe♪ You'll see.

Saki

Listen

This is getting exciting♪
I can't wait to get started!

Ichika

Listen

Oh, Saki. You're so impatient.

Honami

Listen

Miku, Luka. We'll call you just before the date changes, okay?

Luka

Listen

Okay! We'll be looking forward to it!

Saki

Listen

It's been ages since I've been in your room, Ichi!

Honami

Listen

It's just as I remembered.
Oh, you still have lots of Miku's CDs.

Ichika

Listen

Yeah. I saved up to buy them, so they're pretty special to me.

Ichika

Listen

Oh, I'll get us all something to drink.
I'll be right back.

Honami

Listen

Let me help! I'd feel bad if we made you do everything by yourself...

Ichika

Listen

Thanks, Honami.

Saki

Listen

Then... Shiho and I will get the cards and stuff ready!

Shiho

Listen

Wait, what? Cards?
This is the first time I'm hearing about this.

Saki

Listen

But it's like THE thing you do during sleepovers! Come on, Shiho, help me get things ready!

Shiho

Listen

Okay, okay. I'll help...

Honami

Listen

Hehe. Looks like they're having fun too.
Thanks for inviting us over, Ichika.

Ichika

Listen

No problem. I'm happy you could all come.

Saki

Listen

Nooo! How did I lose again?
You're too good at Sevens, Hona!

Honami

Listen

Haha. I just got lucky.

Ichika

Listen

I was so close to winning too...
I shouldn't have waited with that 9.

Shiho

Listen

Wait, it's almost midnight...

Saki

Listen

It is! Time really flies by when we're together.

Honami

Listen

We should call Miku and Luka...
Huh? Did my phone just flash?

Ichika

Listen

Oh, mine too...!

Luka

Miku

Luka

Listen

<Oh? Is the pot calling the kettle black?>

Saki

Listen

Alright, now that we're all here, let's get ready to go!

Ichika

Listen

It's great that we get to celebrate New Year's together like this.
