♪————~~!

Again, you're hiding how you're running out of breath with a vibrato! Focus on maintaining the same volume all the way through!

♪————!

You sound fatigued from the last part!
Who wants to see a tired canary sing? You need to increase your lung capacity! When you get home today, start adding fifty sets to your training regimen!

(She's been practicing with me every single day since then. I had no idea Ms. Kazamatsuri would be such a strict teacher.)

(But...)

(I've made my decision...
I'm gonna learn everything I can from her and fix all my problems. I have to absorb everything she says...)

(For the sake of our show's success...!)

Hey, you guys!
Did Nene ever say if she saw the video we made for her?!

Yeah, I've been wondering that too!
Did she reply after that?!

Yeah, she said she watched it!
She also thanked us and said she's gonna try her best.

She did?! Thank goodness...!

I couldn't be happier that she enjoyed it. Thank you for suggesting that we make that video for her, KAITO.

I simply said what first came to mind after noticing that you were all feeling a little down.

Also, I believe she ended up enjoying it so much because everyone here genuinely wished for her to succeed.

Hehe. Yeah, maybe...

But Nene has been a bit busier recently compared to normal. She's also been coming home rather late. I hope she isn't pushing herself too hard.

Oh, is that true?
You mentioned before how you were worried about her having bags under her eyes... But now...

Yes, she's come to practice a couple of times all covered in mud.

She said Ms. Kazamatsuri's been teaching her... But what exactly? How does singing practice lead to that?

And Nene just keeps saying, “Don't worry about me. I'm fine.”

I know she really wants to become a better singer, but I wish I could help her more...

As I...

I think you've helped her quite a bit already.

What do you mean?

I think I have a rough understanding of where Nene is right now emotionally...

She didn't tell me what I'm about to say directly, so it's just what I'm imagining right now...

But Nene received a nice boost of encouragement from the video message we all sent her.

Which leads me to believe that she feels more motivated than ever to try her best.

I'm sure our support means quite a lot to her.

Oh...

Looking in from the outside, it may seem like she's pushing herself a little too hard. Which can be worrying...

But I have a feeling that Nene's doing her absolute best right now to answer our call.

KAITO...

So, wouldn't it be best for us to all just wait in anticipation for Nene to produce some spectacular results?

Yes, you're right...

Yup yup! I totally agree☆

Me too...
*Yawn*
I'm looking forward to seeing Nene play the Cowardly Canary very much.

Zzz...

Ack! Luka, stop! How many times do I have to say this? You can't sleep here!

Huh?
All your phones are beeping and buzzing!

Oh, could it be...?

Is it Nene?! Did she send us a message?!

Yes, it seems so.
Let's see...

Lemme see too☆

Hey, don't shove!

<Sorry for making you all worry so much. But...>

<I'm okay now.
Let's make our show a good one.>

Thank goodness...
This means Nene figured out what was wrong, right?

It seems that way.
Now, all we need to do is prepare for the real thing...

Yes. As KAITO just mentioned, we can look forward to seeing what Nene has in store for us...

And hearing what she's truly capable of!

Yeah!

The day has finally arrived.

Yeah...

(Don't worry...
You did everything you possibly could until today.)

(I was even able to fix my habits enough to the point that Ms. Kazamatsuri felt satisfied.)

(All that's left for me to do is to go on stage and give it everything I've got.)

Whoa, hey!
The person sitting towards the front... Isn't that Yuka Kazamatsuri?!

Don't look now, but check out who's sitting next to her!

Is that...? Seiichi Amami?!

Wh-Whaaaaat?!?!?!

Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-What's Mr. Amami doing here...?!

Apparently, he and Ms. Kazamatsuri are old friends. She invited him and he happily accepted.

Wh-Why didn't you tell me this sooner?!

Sorry...
I had my hands full with my own problems.

I doubt any of us were planning on cutting any corners, but this raises the stakes for our show quite a bit...

Yeah, since Nene and Tsukasa's heroes are here to see it...

That means...
We've gotta make it the most wonderhoy show in the history of forever!

Five minutes to curtain.

Yes...

I am not about to disappoint Mr. Amami after witnessing him put on such a magnificent performance as Rio.

My Rio needs to be perfect...

(I'm not the only one with a vested interest in this show...)

Let's go knock their socks off.

Oh, we will.

(Everyone here wants to put on the best performance we possibly can...)

(So, go out there and blow them away as the Cowardly Canary!)
