Ichika
But I think I'm more worried than excited since other subjects like math will probably be harder than last year.

Saki
But there's nothing wrong with not immediately understanding new stuff. We can always ask the teachers or Hona for help if we have any questions!

Ichika
(My mind can't help but jump towards things going wrong... But Saki wants to take on new challenges.)

Ichika
(We'll probably be faced with more than a few after we make our debut as professional musicians.)

First-Year A
Hey, aren't they second-years?


First-Year B
They came to the wrong classroom by accident. That's so cute.

Kohane
I can see how you two ended up at the wrong classroom. I mean, until not too long ago, that's what was normal to us.

Honami
Now that you mention it, Emu and I greeted each other just now, but going to different classrooms felt a little odd...

Kohane
I know what you mean. I feel the same way whenever I see my old classmates walking towards different classrooms.

Kohane
Me too. I haven't really talked to some of our classmates before, so it'd be nice to become friends with them.

Ichika
(I don't know what this upcoming year has in store for us, but I hope I'll be able to make a lot of good memories.)

Honami & Shiho
Morning.

Shiho
Before we start our practice, I want to go over the stuff that came up during practice yesterday and some other things for us all to keep in mind. Let me know once you guys are all set up.

*Rustling*
Ichika
My old one only had a few pages left, so I decided to get a new one while I was out shopping for school notebooks.

Ichika
I was also sorting through all of my old notebooks and realized that I have a big pile of them for lyrics and practices now.

Ichika
My notes from when we just got our band back together are all about the basics, which probably won't help us now... Maybe I should get rid of them.

Saki
Really? There's also all the audio we recorded of us practicing. I'm starting to wonder what we should do about that.

Saki
Yeah, I get videos, but I didn't realize how much space sound files could take up! Still, I wanna keep as many as I can...


Shiho
Is it that surprising? They keep piling up basically every day, so I need to do something about them.

Honami
As far as audio recordings go, I try to keep the most memorable ones, like of our rehearsals the day before shows and such.

Ichika
Thanks for taking the time to discuss this. In that case, I'll hang onto my notebooks for a little while longer.

Saki
I dunno what to do either. I mean, there's something special about how we play in the heat of the moment that makes each performance unique.

Shiho
Then, I say just leave them. If you delete them and end up regretting it down the road, it'll be too late.

Honami
She's right. We sound like a completely different band compared to when we first got back together.

Ichika
Whenever I'm feeling down, I can cheer myself up by taking a listen, looking back and seeing just how far we've come.

Saki
We can even turn it into a quiz down the road! Question! What song were we practicing in this recording, and around when was it taken?!


Saki, Ichika & Honami
Sure.
