An Awaited Message

Side Story 1


The day before the show
Ichika's Room
Ichika: Tomorrow's finally the day...
Ichika: (Our very first solo show... As nervous as I am...)
Ichika: (If it goes well, we'll get a chance to go pro together...)
Ichika: That's making me even more nervous...
Ichika: Just take...a deep breath...
Ichika: ...
Ichika: Oh, that reminds me... I should change out my strings.
Ichika: (There's no rust on them and it feels like a bit of a waste... But I also don't want them to snap on me during our show...)
Ichika: Where are the ones I just bought...? I thought I put them away with the wire cutters... Oh, here they are.
Ichika: Okay...
Ichika: (Start by unwinding them one by one...)
Ichika: Huh? A message?
Saki: <Hey, I was trying to fall asleep just now but can't because I'm so nervous!>
Ichika: What? Sleep...?
Ichika: <Isn't it a little early to go to bed? It's only eight.>
Ichika: Oh, Shiho just wrote something...
Shiho: <Of course you are. It's only eight.>
Ichika: Hehe. Exactly.
Saki: <Hey, no fair! Don't gang up on me like that!>
Shiho: <Seriously? You didn't see this coming?>
Ichika: (Oh, these strings actually have a lot of dings and scratches on them. Changing them out was a good idea...)
Ichika: (I guess we have been practicing a lot more than usual...)
Ichika: Wait, what?
Ichika: Hehe... Oh, Saki. She's sending us so many sad face stamps.
Shiho: <Saki, these notifications and those faces are getting really annoying.>
Saki: <Wahhh! Ichi, Shiho's bullying me!>
Ichika: <To be fair, this stamp's face does look pretty obnoxious.>
Saki: <How's that supposed to make me feel better? T_T>
Ichika: Hehe...
Ichika: Oh, Honami's writing something now...
Honami: <Saki, it's apparently not good to go to bed so early since your body isn't ready to fall asleep yet.>
Honami: <So, it's probably best to try to go to bed at your usual time.>
Ichika: <Going to bed too early could lead to waking up too early and feeling sleepier sooner than normal?>
Shiho: <Yeah, you might not be able to stop yawning before we take the stage.>
Saki: <Oh... I don't want that to happen!>
Ichika: Okay, I just need to trim the strings and tune it...
Ichika: Wait, where'd I put my tuner...?
Saki: <Can we talk for a bit since we're all online?>
Shiho: <Only a little bit.>
Honami: <I'm okay with that.>
Ichika: Oh, I guess we're having a group call now.
Saki: <Hehe. Good evening, everyone♪>
Ichika: Good evening to you as well. Honestly, Saki, you sound the furthest thing from sleepy right now.
Shiho: <Yeah, was this all just some sort of elaborate rouse?>
Saki: <No, it wasn't! I tried to go to sleep because I finished doing all my homework and had nothing else to do...>
Honami: <Hehe. You finished all your homework, Saki? Good for you.>
Saki: <*Sob* Hona, you're the only one who's ever nice to me!>
Saki: <While we're on the subject, what were you guys doing just now?>
Shiho: <I was practicing on my bass.>
Honami: <I was going over what we need to do when after we arrive at the live house tomorrow.>
Honami: <The manager and I need to go through a big checklist for our show.>
Saki: <Hona's here to save the day! What about you, Ichi?>
Ichika: I was changing out the strings on my guitar. It seemed like a bit of a waste at first, but they were more dinged up than I initially realized...
Saki: <Really?! Oh, since you've put on some new strings, I wanna hear you play something for us♪>
Ichika: Sure, but I haven't tuned it yet. It might sound a little funny.
Saki: <Then, can we listen while you tune it?>
Saki: <I hear you tuning your guitar in SEKAI from time to time, but I find it really soothing for some reason.>
Honami: <Yes, I think I know what you mean. It's such an strange sensation...>
Shiho: <In that case, I'll listen to it as background music while I clean my strings.>
Ichika: What? I'm starting to get a little nervous now that I know you're all going to be listening...
Saki: <You are? What makes you more nervous? This or tomorrow's show?>
Ichika: Hmm... This maybe...
Saki: <Really?! That means you're probably gonna play out of your mind tomorrow, Ichi!>
Shiho: <How does that work?>
Ichika: Hehe. I doubt I'm going to play that well...
Ichika: (But I feel much better compared to just now.)
Ichika: Alright, I'll put you on speaker and start tuning my guitar.
Saki: <Okay♪ Then, I'll be thinking of some stuff to say when we talk to the crowd!>

Side Story 2


School SEKAI
Ichika: That student council business took up more time than I was expecting...
Ichika: We're supposed to have our after party with Miku and the others today too.
Ichika: I'm sure they're waiting on the rooftop already. I should hurry over and...
Ichika: Hm...?
Saki: ...
Ichika: What are you doing here, Saki?
Saki: Huh...?! Oh, Ichi, it's you!
Saki: A-Also, I should be asking you the same thing.
Saki: I heard that you're gonna be running a little late because of student council stuff, but not this late.
Ichika: Sorry, I had a feeling that you'd all be waiting for me. I should've let you all know sooner.
Saki: No, Ichi, we're not blaming you...! It's just...
Saki: A-Anyway, let's head up to the rooftop! We've got a fun and spectacular after party to attend♪
Ichika: O-Okay...
Ichika: (Saki's acting kind of strange...)
Ichika: (Oh, what if...?)
Saki: But remember what Saku said? "A band's number one goal is to have your music heard by as many people as possible."
Saki: Something that feels a lot more important comes to mind.
Saki: I think getting to play music with all of you matters more to me...
Saki: Which is why I'm kinda worried about how I feel right now...
Saki: I started doubting my commitment when it comes to going pro, and it scared me a little...
Ichika: (Are those thoughts still lingering in her mind...?)
Ichika: (Unfortunately, she has to find the answer to those questions herself...)
Ichika: That reminds me, Saki.
Ichika: There's something I wanted to tell you after the show, but I didn't get a chance because of how crazy things were.
Saki: Oh, what do you wanna tell me?
Ichika: From start to finish, you put on a really amazing performance.
Ichika: You really let your feelings of excitement flow while you played...
Ichika: Which is why I believe you ended up enjoying our solo show the most.
Ichika: The way you played made me want to do the same thing with my guitar and while I sang. And it felt so good.
Ichika: So, Saki, thank you.
Saki: Ichi...
Saki: Oh, stop! You're making me blush...
Saki: I was able to have as much fun as I did because we were all playing together.
Saki: Also, the crowd played a huge role by waving their hands for us!
Ichika: Yeah, they really got into it and responded so well to all our shout-outs. Actually, it was probably the best response we've ever received.
Saki: Definitely♪ I don't think we've ever been more one with the crowd!
Saki: I hope we get to do another show like that.
Ichika: We've done it once now, so I'm sure we'll be able to do it again.
Ichika: Next time, we might get to play at a venue with an even bigger capacity.
Saki: Whoa! That'd be so awesome! It'd be like playing in front of a sea of people! Right?
Ichika: Hehe. Yeah.
Ichika: (Thank goodness she's feeling better...)
Miku's Voice: Ichika? Saki? Where are you two?
Ichika: Oh...
Rin's Voice: Huh? Their voices came from this way, right?
Miku's Voice: I thought so too... But the others are already up on the rooftop!
Saki: Oh no! I totally forgot! The others are waiting for us!
Ichika: We need to hurry! Let's go, Saki!
Saki: Yeah!
