Yoisaki Kanade/Area Conversation

Miku & Kanade (1)
Kanade	.....
Miku	.....
Kanade	(It never feels awkward even if we're not speaking. I always feels so comfortable here.)
Miku	(I'm glad that she comes to visit even if we don't talk. Still, I wish we would...)

Miku & Kanade (2)
Kanade	Phew... This place is never too bright. It's so nice.
Miku	You don't like bright places, Kanade?
Kanade	No. Mornings especially. The sun shines in through the gaps in the curtains and if I'm not careful, I blind myself.
Miku	Y-You blind yourself?
Kanade	Oh, that's just an expression. I don't actually go blind.

Miku & Kanade (3)
Miku	Kanade... Have you done anything fun lately...?
Kanade	Huh? Fun...? I'd say our picnic was the most recent thing...
Miku	I see...
Kanade	Is something the matter, Miku...?
Miku	No... You and the others seemed better than usual lately is all.
Miku	So I was wondering if you all did something fun...
Kanade	Okay, now I understand...
Kanade	Thank you for always looking out for us, Miku.
Miku	You're welcome...
Miku	(I wish they could always be free of any pain like this...)

Miku & Kanade (4)
Kanade	Miku, where'd you get those mini doughnuts?
Miku	Ena brought them over just now. She said, "They were a gift, but I'm on a diet right now."
Kanade	Oh, I see. Aren't you going to eat them?
Miku	Yes, but I'm waiting for Rin, Len, MEIKO and Luka.
Miku	They'll taste better if I share them instead of having them to myself.
Kanade	Okay...
Kanade	Then, may I also have some...?
Miku	Sure. We can have some together, Kanade...

Miku & Kanade (5)
Kanade	Whoa! Miku, you know how to blow bubble gum...?
Miku	Nod Mizuki said, "It's fun to try something new when the seasons change."
Kanade	So you learned how to blow bubble gum? That's incredible. And the bubble's so big.
Miku	Do you not know how, Kanade?
Kanade	No, I could never get the hang of it...
Miku	...
Kanade	Miku, if you don't mind, could you teach me how?
Miku	Okay...!

Rin & Kanade (1)
Kanade	Rin, what do you think about this SEKAI?
Rin	Not much really...
Kanade	Then how about Mafuyu?
Rin	She looks pained something. But...
Rin	What she feels now seems different from what she felt before you helped her. She might be looking for something she lost.
Rin	So please keep helping her when you can.
Kanade	Okay, I'll do that then. Thank you, Rin.

Rin & Kanade (2)
Rin	Kanade, are the instant noodles you usually eat actually good?
Kanade	I think so... I can eat them every day without getting tired of them.
Rin	Not because they're your favorite flavor or anything...?
Kanade	I've tried several flavors... But this is what's stuck, so it might be my favorite.
Kanade	Even if I do get tired of it, I always have miso, pork broth or a myriad of other flavors to choose from.
Rin	I see...
Kanade	I have plenty at home, so why don't I bring a few over some time?
Rin	Oh, okay. In that case, I might give it a try.

Rin & Kanade (3)
Rin	...? Something smells good...
Kanade	Oh, Rin. Are you alone?
Rin	Yeah. Kanade, that box you're holding...
Kanade	Oh, this? My housekeeper just brought it over, but I can't finish it by myself. So, I thought we could all share it once everyone gets here...
Rin	Apple pie...?
Kanade	Want some now, Rin...?
Rin	It's not like I... Uh...
Stomach Rumbling
Rin	Maybe just a little...
Kanade	Hehe. Then, give me a second to get you a slice.

Len & Kanade (1)
Len	Kanade, what are you doing...?
Kanade	...
Len	Oh, um...
Kanade	Hm? Len? Sorry, I didn't notice that you were there. I was just thinking about some ideas for the song I'm currently composing...
Len	N-No, it's okay! I'm sorry for bothering you like this... Um... I'll be over there...
Kanade	Oh, wait. Can I ask you for an opinion? I mean, I came over for that very reason.
Len	Y-You want to ask me? Are you sure?
Kanade	Yes, would you mind telling me what you think?
Len	O-Okay...! I'm not sure if I'll be able to say anything that's helpful... But I'll try.

Len & Kanade (2)
Len	Huh? Kanade? You're here already? It's not time to meet up yet, is it...?
Kanade	I know. I reached a good place to take a break, so I decided to come over here. What were you doing just now, Len?
Len	Me? Um... I was taking a walk...
Len	I started getting a little anxious since I knew that it was almost time for us to all meet... So, I was hoping that walking around for a bit would help me relax.
Kanade	I see. Actually... In that case, would you like to take a walk together? It'll be a chance for me to clear my head.
Len	Oh, okay... If you don't mind...

Len & Kanade (3)
Len	Wh-What do I do...?
Kanade	Huh? Is something wrong, Len? You seem anxious.
Len	Oh, umm... Luka and I are playing hide-and-seek because she said she was bored...
Len	But in the middle of seeking, she began saying, "You know what's going to happen if I don't find you, right?"
Kanade	Th-That's terrifying...
Luka's Voice	Oh, is that where you were hiding?
Len & Kanade	Gasp

MEIKO & Kanade (1)
Kanade	I don't see anyone today. Huh...?
MEIKO	...
Kanade	(MEIKO's reading a magazine. Maybe one that Mizuki brought over?)
Kanade	(But she keeps staring at the same page for some reason... What's she looking at...?)
Kanade	Best Hot Springs: Unwind, Refresh, Repeat...?
MEIKO	...! Kanade, when did you get here?
Kanade	S-Sorry for looking over your shoulder like that. Are you interested in hot springs...?
MEIKO	Well, they just seem like places where you can sit and focus on your thoughts is all.
Kanade	I'd say so. They really let you relax and mull things over.
Kanade	(Hehe. She didn't say she wasn't interested.)

Kanade & Mafuyu (1)
Kanade	Mafuyu, I had a question about these lyrics.
Mafuyu	Hm? Do they not match the melody well enough?
Kanade	No, that's not it. I was just wondering if they had a double meaning.
Mafuyu	Hehe. I should have known you would notice.

Kanade & Mafuyu (2)
Mafuyu	I finished the arrangement for those tracks you sent me the other day.
Kanade	Already? That was even more than normal.
Mafuyu	Everyone's been working so hard. I felt like I should put in a little more effort too.
Kanade	Are you making sure to eat properly and get enough sleep?
Mafuyu	Hahaha. I'm probably eating and sleeping better than you, at the very least.

Kanade & Mafuyu (3)
Kanade	Mafuyu, are you good at housework?
Mafuyu	As good as most people, I suppose.
Kanade	As most people? I guess I'm not most people, then...
Mafuyu	Huh? Did something happen?
Kanade	I was doing laundry and ended up shrinking some of my favorite clothes.
Mafuyu	Ah, that happens sometimes. That just makes you kinda cute. And unique.

Kanade & Mafuyu (4)
Mafuyu	This place is just as empty and quiet as ever.
Kanade	Yeah. I feel like I could get a lot of work done here. Maybe I'll bring my equipment some time.
Mafuyu	It might be a good place to focus, but what are you going to do for power?
Kanade	Maybe there are outlets on the back of the strange things stuck in the ground...
Mafuyu	...Sorry, but there aren't.

Kanade & Mafuyu (5)
Kanade	————♪
Mafuyu	I thought that was your voice. Was that a new melody?
Kanade	Yeah, but it's still not quite right.
Mafuyu	Really? Would you sing it again?
Kanade	Sure. Let me know what you think.

Kanade & Mafuyu (6)
Kanade	My headphones have been emitting a strange noise lately. I've been using them for a while now, so maybe it's time to buy a new pair.
Mafuyu	When did they start making that noise...?
Kanade	Huh? After we all went on our trip, I think...
Kanade	Wait, could it be...?! Are they possessed?!
Kanade	What if they're being haunted by a ghost or spirit...?!
Mafuyu	Why don't you try using them here? If your still hear that noise, you probably need to buy a new pair.
Kanade	Oh, right! I'll try that now! Thank you, Mafuyu.

Kanade & Mafuyu (7)
Kanade	It looks like the songs you and I made are still getting views, Mafuyu.
Mafuyu	They are...?
Kanade	But it's not like we've been advertising or recommending them to anyone. It could be that someone's been watching them over and over again.
Kanade	Maybe they haven't been saved yet... Still, I hope our songs can bring us closer to them somehow.
Mafuyu	Yes, I hope so too...

Kanade & Mafuyu (8)
Mafuyu	Kanade, do you ever cook...?
Kanade	Huh? Not really... Why do you ask?
Mafuyu	You made apple sauce for me, right? I was surprised by how you had the right grater for that.
Kanade	Oh, all of the cookware in my house belonged to my mom and is all generally where she left it last...
Kanade	Such as... Oh, there's this wooden spoon that looks like a strange brush or one of those massage sticks for your shoulders.
Mafuyu	Are you talking about a pasta server? You know, for taking spaghetti out of a boiling pot?
Kanade	Huh? Is that what it's for...? Have you used one before, Mafuyu?
Mafuyu	Yes, for home economics. I heard some call it a strange comb, but this is the first time I've heard someone call it a massage stick.
Kanade	I see... A comb is a better way to describe it...

Kanade & Mafuyu (9)
Mafuyu	Kanade... Thank you for bringing me here.
Kanade	No, of course. I'm sure Miku and the others also want to see you, so please feel free to ask me if you ever want to come back.
Mafuyu	Okay...
Kanade	...
Mafuyu	Kanade? Is something wrong...?
Kanade	Nothing's wrong. It just felt a little strange to use my phone to bring us both here...
Kanade	Hehe. I guess this is what we'll be doing for a little while.
Mafuyu	Yes...

Kanade & Ena (1)
Ena	Oh, Kanade! There you are. I was wondering why you weren't logged in.
Ena	Hehe. Hey, look at this cheesecake I had yesterday! Doesn't it just look so cute? It was so good!
Kanade	I had some cheesecake yesterday, too.
Ena	Really? Where did you go?
Kanade	Nowhere. It's canned cheesecake.
Ena	C-Canned?! Oh, that's right. You buy a lot of canned food so you can eat whenever you want.
Ena	(Hm... Is it any good? I'm actually a little curious.)

Kanade & Ena (2)
Ena	Kanade, you've been coming here a lot recently to work.
Kanade	Yeah. When I'm in my room, I'm surrounded by computers, food, and a bunch of other things. This place is empty, though. It makes it easier to concentrate.
Kanade	It also feels like I'm closer to everyone's feelings when I'm here. It helps me write.
Ena	Kanade...
Ena	(Closer to everyone's feelings, huh? Maybe I should try drawing here some time.)

Kanade & Ena (3)
Ena	Sigh... No matter how much sleep I get these days, my head never quite feels clear. Does that ever happen to you, Kanade?
Kanade	No, not really.
Ena	Really? I feel like you're the kind of person who never gets enough sleep. How many hours do you usually get?
Kanade	I'm not sure. Most of the time, I just sort of fall asleep while I'm in the middle of something.
Ena	I-Is that so?
Ena	(I should probably be more worried about her passing out on the floor and catching a cold than her getting enough sleep.)

Kanade & Ena (4)
Kanade	I feel like this would be a really good place for focusing on work.
Ena	Yeah. We seem to be able to bring our phones with us. We could probably bring computers, too.
Kanade	A laptop, maybe. I think I'll just bring some paper to work on.
Ena	(Does she actually want to work here that badly?)

Kanade & Ena (5)
Kanade	Ena, isn't it time for you to go to school?
Ena	Yeah, just about.
Ena	You're enrolled in a correspondence school so you never have to go anywhere, right? I should have done that.
Kanade	I still have to get the required amount of credits before I can graduate.
Kanade	Some people take their time, though. I've heard of a few who took classes for ten years before graduating.
Ena	If I was told I could do things at my own pace like that, I have a feeling I might never graduate.

Kanade & Ena (6)
Ena	It's always the same here whether it's day or night. It really messes with your sense of time.
Kanade	You think so? My room is always like this, so I guess I didn't really notice.
Kanade	I never get hungry here, either. If only there were power outlets, it would be the perfect place to work.
Ena	If that were the case, I have a feeling you'd be shut up here even more often than Mafuyu.

Kanade & Ena (7)
Ena	Kanade, thank you for telling us about how you and Mafuyu first met. It was really eye-opening.
Kanade	It was?
Ena	Yeah. I mean, you've told us about your other songs before, and we've become more comfortable sharing personal stuff with each other lately...
Ena	But I still sort of try to avoid talking about my past or myself in general.
Kanade	I suppose you're right.
Ena	I can't tell you guys everything right now, but your story made me want to open up about myself more... One step at a time...
Kanade	I see. I hope we get a chance to hear from you soon.

Kanade & Ena (8)
Ena	Kanade, what do you do when you hit a wall trying to get your thoughts on paper...?
Kanade	Hmm... I usually just do some trial and error to see if anything works.
Kanade	If something does manage to stick, I'll try polishing or refining it...
Ena	That actually works for you...?
Ena	(Between Kanade's personal experiences and unbelievable talent, it's like she's on a different playing field. All these ideas just seem to naturally flow into her head.)
Kanade	Sorry. I'm not being very helpful, am I...?
Ena	No, that's not true.
Ena	(It just means I need to keep learning as much as I can...)

Kanade & Ena (9)
Kanade	Sigh My body's felt so heavy these past few days...
Ena	Didn't you say that you stayed up all night to finish that song? Isn't that probably why?
Kanade	I thought so too at first since I seemed to get enough sleep, but I don't feel entirely refreshed...
Ena	Oh, what if you went for a walk? Breaking a sweat might actually make you feel better.
Kanade	You might be right... Would mind joining me again, Ena?
Ena	Of course. Oh, why don't we also invite Mafuyu and Mizuki?
Kanade	Okay. Hehe. The four of us going on a walk together might be fun...

Kanade & Mizuki (1)
Mizuki	Kanade, I know your favorite food is instant noodles, but is there anything you hate?
Kanade	Anything with a really strong smell like cilantro or natto.
Mizuki	Strong smells, huh? For me, it's chewy textures. Anything with slimy mushrooms is a definite no for me.
Kanade	Textures? That makes sense. Just being able to put it in your mouth in the first place can be the biggest hurdle.
Mizuki	Right?! I'm so glad someone else gets it!

Kanade & Mizuki (2)
Mizuki	Hey, Kanade. I've got a coupon for the salon. Would you like it?
Mizuki	I imagine taking care of such long hair is pretty hard. Do you ever get split ends?
Kanade	I dunno. I've never worried about it before. All I really do after a shower is dry it and brush it out.
Mizuki	For someone who forgets to even eat, I almost didn't expect you to do that much.
Kanade	If I don't dry it, it drips all over the floor. Besides, I don't want to catch a cold.
Mizuki	Hahaha. If you got sick, you wouldn't be able to write music. For you, that'd be a big problem.

Kanade & Mizuki (3)
Mizuki	Kanade, how long have you been writing songs?
Kanade	I started writing seriously when I was in about 5th grade.
Mizuki	Really? I didn't start until junior high. I didn't care much for school and just made videos all the time. I guess I still do that, though. Haha.
Mizuki	I feel like being able to keep doing what you love is the best kind of happiness.
Kanade	Yeah.

Kanade & Mizuki (4)
Mizuki	I'm so bored...
Kanade	Yeah, there's not much to do around here.
Mizuki	Aren't you bored, Kanade?
Kanade	Not really. I've been thinking of a new melody.
Mizuki	Oh, nice! How's it coming? Can I help you brainstorm?

Kanade & Mizuki (5)
Mizuki	Hey, Kanade. I found this store that sells magazines from all over the world. Wanna go check it out together sometime?
Kanade	With me? Wouldn't you have more fun if you went with Ena?
Mizuki	Heh heh heh. I want to go with her, but I also want to go with you and Mafuyu!
Mizuki	Also, this place doesn't just have a bunch of different magazines. Each one is apparently there for a special purpose.
Mizuki	That's why I want to see what you each think and gauge your individual reactions!
Kanade	I see...
Mizuki	I guarantee you're gonna have a blast, Kanade! So please, let's go check it out!
Kanade	Okay, I'll go since you're willing to say so much about this place.
Mizuki	Really?! Thank you so much! Haha. I can't wait♪

Miku, Luka & Kanade (1)
Miku	Kanade, have you had enough to eat today...?
Kanade	Huh? Yes, I think so.
Luka	That's good to hear.
Luka	Also, most people tend to have three meals per day. How many would you usually say you have, Kanade?
Kanade	Um... O-One...
Miku	Kanade...
Miku	Please make sure to eat more, Kanade. I wouldn't want anything happening to you...
Luka	I agree. You'd make Miku cry if you were to collapse from exhaustion again.
Kanade	I... U-Uhh... I-I'll be okay, Miku. I promise to be more careful about my diet.

Miku, KAITO & Kanade (1)
Kanade	Miku, KAITO, hello.
Miku	Welcome Kanade... What brings you here today?
Kanade	I made a few adjustments to the song we're currently working on and would for you all to listen it.
Kanade	Would you mind joining us, KAITO?
KAITO	(Is this who Miku was talking about? The one who wrote a song that made Mafuyu smile.)
KAITO	(A song that actually hit home with her...)
Miku	Um, KAITO?
KAITO	Fine... But I'm not going to sugarcoat my opinion.
Kanade	Nod I wouldn't have it any other way.
Kanade	So, I'll play it now.

Miku, Kanade & Mafuyu (1)
Miku	.....
Mafuyu	.....
Kanade	(There's not really much for the three of us to talk about. It's nice not to feel pressured into making conversation.)
Mafuyu	Is something wrong, Kanade?
Kanade	No, nothing at all.
Miku	(Kanade and Mafuyu seem to be doing somewhat better today. That's a relief.)

Miku, Kanade & Mafuyu (2)
Miku	What sort of song are you working on?
Kanade	I'm working on two. One's a ballad and the other is really heavy on the guitar.
Miku	You're writing two songs at the same time?
Kanade	Yeah. I'm not sure if the one with the guitar is quite right for the kind of music we make, but I wanted to get it done while the idea was still fresh in my mind.
Kanade	Once I'm done with that, I'll get back to the ballad the others are working on.
Mafuyu	Always hard at work on the next song, aren't you?
Miku	Kanade... Are you sure you're not working too hard?
Kanade	I'm all right, Miku. This is just the type of person I am.

Miku, Kanade & Mafuyu (3)
Mafuyu	Miku, what were you doing today?
Miku	I was singing some of the songs you and the others wrote.
Mafuyu	I see. Was that fun?
Miku	Yeah.
Kanade	Well that's good.
Kanade	(This place is kind of soothing, but I bet it would still get lonely after a while.)

Miku, Kanade & Mafuyu (4)
Kanade	There you are, Mafuyu. You were with Miku?
Miku	Yeah. We were just talking.
Kanade	What were you talking about?
Mafuyu	We were discussing names for colors. Rust, verdigris, rouge, tawny...
Kanade	Ah, the more old-fashioned names. You use a lot of those in your lyrics, don't you?
Mafuyu	Yes. It seems obvious, but Miku has a real interest in that sort of thing.
Miku	I enjoy talking about lyrics.
Mafuyu	It's nearly 25:00, though. We'll have to continue this tomorrow.
Miku	Okay. I'm looking forward to it.

Miku, Kanade & Ena (1)
Miku	.....
Ena	Miku, you've been staring at the ground for a while. What's wrong?
Miku	This line. It's cut.
Ena	Line? Oh, you mean this one here that looks like it's part of some pattern?
Kanade	I guess it does sort of look like it should keep going. Do you think you could redraw it, Ena?
Ena	I could try, but without being able to get a better view from overhead, I'm not sure if the balance would be right.
Miku	An overhead view? If you need to climb up high, you could use one of those.
Kanade	Oh, is that what those steel girders are for?
Ena	Um... Somehow I doubt that, Kanade.

Miku, Kanade & Ena (2)
Miku	Ena...
Ena	Oh, you remembered my name.
Miku	I did. You're Ena...and Kanade.
Kanade	Yeah.
Ena	It's strange. All she did was say our names, but that makes me feel kinda happy for some reason.
Kanade	Me too. Strange, isn't it?

Miku, Kanade & Ena (3)
Miku	Kanade, Ena, you came.
Kanade	We finished our latest song. Here.
Miku	This is a CD...
Ena	It's specifically made just for you, Miku. I even made a special cover for it.
Miku	Can I listen to it?
Kanade	Of course. We'd be interested to hear what you think.
Kanade	We'll make sure to bring Mafuyu and Mizuki next time. Maybe we can all sing together like we did before.
Miku	Okay! I'm looking forward to it.

Miku, Kanade & Ena (4)
Ena	What's with the triangular things stuck in the ground all over the place? What are they, exactly?
Miku	Those are also Mafuyu's feelings.
Ena	What does that even mean...?
Kanade	They feel so cold to the touch.
Kanade	(These are Mafuyu's feelings? Does that mean her heart is as cold as these feel?)
Miku	It's all right...
Kanade	.....!
Miku	I'm sure both of your feelings will reach her.
Kanade	Miku... Yeah, you're right. I'm sure they will.

Miku, Kanade & Mizuki (1)
Mizuki	This place always feels a bit dark.
Miku	Are you afraid?
Mizuki	No, it's not scary. It just feels dark, is all.
Miku	That's good.
Kanade	It doesn't seem dark to me.
Kanade	It's about the same as my room while I work. If anything, I'd say it's a little brighter here.
Mizuki	Exactly how dark do you keep your room?
Mizuki	You should probably turn the lights up a little or you're going to damage your eyes.

Miku, Kanade & Mizuki (2)
Miku	Do you sing as well, Mizuki?
Mizuki	Of course I sing♪
Mizuki	In fact, I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to be the lead singer for the song we're working on. Right, Kanade?
Kanade	Yeah.
Mizuki	What made you decide on me, though?
Kanade	There's a quality to your voice that the rest of us aren't able to match. I thought it would be perfect for this next song.
Mizuki	Huh... A quality that none of you can match, huh?
Miku	Is something wrong?
Mizuki	No, it's nothing. I was just thinking that Kanade really is more perceptive than I thought.

Miku, Kanade & Mizuki (3)
Miku	Kanade, you four really didn't know each other before?
Kanade	No, we didn't. We talked over voice chat and only ever used our usernames. We didn't know each other's faces or real names.
Mizuki	Thinking about it now, we probably should have done some video chats or something.
Kanade	You think so? I feel like we'd just end up switching to another window to get work done and never look at each other's faces anyway.
Mizuki	Oh, you're probably right.
Miku	Now you all know about each other, though. Is that...a bad thing?
Kanade	No, not at all. I'm glad I got to meet Mafuyu and the others in person.
Mizuki	Yeah, and actually meeting in the real world means Kanade is getting out of the house more often.
Miku	I see. That's good, I suppose.

Miku, Kanade & Mizuki (4)
Kanade	Hey, did we ever show Miku the video that we're working on?
Mizuki	I know she listened to the song, but I'm not sure about the video.
Miku	I don't think I have. May I see it?
Kanade	Sure. Ena's illustrations are really good and Mizuki's been putting in a lot of work too.
Mizuki	You're going to make me blush saying that right in front of me like that.
Mizuki	Anyway, I can show you on my phone if you're okay with the small screen.
Miku	Okay. I can't wait.

Miku, Kanade & Mizuki (5)
Miku	I did it... I made a butterfly...
Mizuki	Hey, Miku, that's great! And really tricky! When did you learn how to do that for cat's cradle?
Kanade	I'm surprised too. Your hands wove everything together so smoothly.
Miku	I practiced a lot... And I asked MEIKO about the parts I couldn't figure out.
Mizuki	Ah, you had a good teacher by your side.
Kanade	Yes. At the same time, Miku, you could be the teacher now that you've learned how to make something so difficult.
Miku	Me? Teaching...?
Mizuki	Yeah, totally! I'd love to learn from you♪

Len, Kanade & Ena (1)
Len	Oh, Ena, you said you have a younger brother, right? Do you have any siblings, Kanade?
Kanade	No, I don't.
Ena	Mafuyu's also an only child. But Mizuki has a big sister.
Len	Really…? So, Ena, what's it like having siblings?
Ena	What's it like…? My younger brother's the furthest thing from cute.
Ena	We get into fights all the time and he always talks back to me. You won't believe some of the things he says.
Kanade	But you always seem to enjoy talking about him.
Ena	What are you talking about?! No way. I mean, just the other day, he…

Luka, MEIKO & Kanade (1)
Kanade	So... Wrap one strand around your thumb, and your middle finger goes... Uh oh...
MEIKO	When's the last time you played cat's cradle like this, Kanade...?
Kanade	Oh, MEIKO, hello. Luka asked, "Can you make Tokyo Tower for me?" I've been trying to make it for her, but...
Luka	I think her fingers got mixed up somewhere along the way after having to wrap and unwrap her fingers around all these strings.
Kanade	Yes, they did. H-Huh...? It's all tangled around my fingers now...
Luka	Hehehe. I did the same thing the other day. Stay still for me, Kanade.
Luka	Here, MEIKO. Why don't you give it a try?
Rustle
MEIKO	Sigh Tokyo Tower, right...?
Kanade	What?! Y-Your fingers are moving so fast. My eyes can't keep up...
MEIKO	Okay, done.
Luka	You're so good at this, MEIKO...
MEIKO	I must've learned how without realizing it after spending so much time with Rin and Miku before you arrived here, Luka.
Luka	I see. MEIKO, can you show me...?
MEIKO	It's better to figure it out for yourself.
Luka	Fine, be that way... We can figure it out together, Kanade.
Kanade	T-Together?
Luka	Yes. We have to figure this out and show MEIKO that we can.

Luka, Kanade & Ena (1)
Ena	Hey, Kanade, Luka! Check out this pic!
Kanade	Oh... It's a photo of that PenPyon you were trying to win from the claw machine.
Luka	But you couldn't win it yourself in the end, right?
Ena	Yeah. Luckily, my brother's friend avenged me by winning it.
Kanade	I see. I'm glad for you, Ena.
Luka	I also managed to catch a few glimpses from your phone, but you seemed very frustrated.
Ena	Like I said a bunch of times already, there was totally something wrong with that claw! It felt so weak that it had to be rigged against us!
Ena	(But his partner seemed to actually enjoy that for some reason...)
Luka	Are you going to thank this person somehow for winning it for you?
Ena	Yeah. He seems to really like cookies, so I'm gonna get him some good ones as a gift.
Ena	(Hehe. And I'm gonna take a ton of selfies with PenPyon once I get home.)

Kanade, Mafuyu & Ena (1)
Ena	Hey, how did you two come up with your usernames?
Kanade	I didn't want to bother thinking of something, so I just went with my initial.
Mafuyu	I'm not particularly picky either, so I just chose a word related to the meaning of my name.^[1]
Kanade	Yours comes from your name too, doesn't it?
Ena	Y-Yeah. It felt more personal that way.
Ena	(There's no way I can tell them I spent forever trying to come up with a good one only to give up and settle for something related to my actual name.)

Kanade, Mafuyu & Ena (2)
Ena	Kanade, you're enrolled in a correspondence school, right? Does that mean you never physically go to school?
Kanade	Like hybrid schooling?
Mafuyu	Hybrid schooling?
Kanade	It's sometimes just called classroom instruction. I guess some programs have in-person lessons at a school or a conference room.
Mafuyu	From the sound of it, I take it you've never done it.
Kanade	Nope. I made sure to pick a school where everything can be done online.
Ena	So you really never leave the house unless you need to? I can't decide if I'm jealous or if I'd go stir crazy...

Kanade, Mafuyu & Ena (3)
Kanade	Huh? Miku's not here?
Mafuyu	I noticed that too. Maybe she's taking a walk.
Ena	A walk? In a place with nothing to see?
Mafuyu	She'll sometimes disappear when I'm working on a song and start feeling like I want to be left alone.
Mafuyu	One time when I asked her where she went, she said, Nowhere. I just went for a walk.
Kanade	A walk, huh? Maybe I should give that a try the next time I get stuck on something.

Kanade, Mafuyu & Ena (4)
Ena	I'm completely out of ideas. I need to listen to something to get my mind off this for a little while. Any recommendations?
Mafuyu	I don't know what to tell you...
Ena	I'm aware of that. I was asking Kanade.
Kanade	If you need a distraction, you could try watching that game playthrough video Mizuki linked in the chat the other day.
Ena	You actually watched that, Kanade?
Kanade	Yeah. The production and the commentary are really well done. I ended up watching all of it.
Kanade	I think you might even enjoy it, Mafuyu.
Ena	Whoa! The quality is way better than I was expecting!
Mafuyu	Huh. Maybe I'll give it a watch as well.

Kanade, Mafuyu & Ena (5)
Kanade	Oh, Ena. I didn't realize you were already here.
Ena	Yeah, I wanted to show Rin this drawing! Hehe. Look...
Mafuyu	It's... A caricature of Rin while she's singing?
Ena	Yup. I took a photo of her when she was singing the other day.
Ena	So, how is it? I thought it turned out pretty well...
Kanade	Yes, I think so too. Her expression is so detailed. It's easy to tell what kind of song she's singing and how just by looking.
Ena	Thank you! What do you think, Mafuyu?
Mafuyu	I like how it's easy to know what you were going for.
Ena	Hehe. Thanks!
Mafuyu	You should make the illustrations you usually do more like this one.
Ena	Those are different! It's bad form to just dumb everything down.
Kanade	I hope Rin likes it.
Ena	Yeah, me too. I doubt she'll really show how she feels, but I'm looking forward to showing this to her.

Kanade, Mafuyu & Ena (6)
Ena	Oh, Mafuyu, are you done with school? You're a little later than normal.
Mafuyu	I had a student council meeting.
Kanade	The student council...? So you became a class representative again?
Mafuyu	Yes. Also, it looks like Otori's a class representative this year.
Ena	What?! Emu...?!
Kanade	She's a class representative? She probably brings a lot of energy to each meeting...
Mafuyu	She was a very active participant during our meeting.
Ena	Haha. I can picture it already... That also probably means the student council's gonna be a lot of fun this year, right?
Mafuyu	Yes, I'm sure you're right...

Kanade, Mafuyu & Ena (7)
Kanade	Is Mizuki still at school...?
Ena	Becoming a second-year after being absent for so many days. I guess it just means Mizuki's that resourceful.
Mafuyu	But that also meant having to take a lot of supplementary classes.
Ena	Yeah, they sounded like a total drag. But it looks like Mizuki still skips from time to time.
Kanade	I see no problem with that. Everyone takes things at their own pace. Mizuki's no exception.
Ena	Yeah, Mizuki's been in a pretty good mood despite complaining so much about having to take all those supplementary classes...
Mafuyu	What if Mizuki figured out a way to skip and still get by?
Ena	Is that what's going on...?! That'd definitely explain a lot...

Kanade, Mafuyu & Mizuki (1)
Mizuki	Ahh... This SEKAI is so quiet and relaxing.
Kanade & Mafuyu	.....
Mizuki	It's perfect for contemplation and working on creative projects, don't you think?
Kanade & Mafuyu	.....
Mizuki	Hey! You could at least say something!
Kanade	Oh, sorry. I didn't hear you. I was thinking about this song I'm composing.
Mafuyu	I'm sorry as well.
Mizuki	No, that's all right. Don't worry about it. You two must have been really focused on your work.
Mizuki	That just means this place really is perfect for getting work done. Maybe I should try bringing something I can work on too.

Kanade, Mafuyu & Mizuki (2)
Kanade	So as for the next section...
Growl
Kanade	Go ahead and work on the parts I mentioned in the comments I sent you.
Mizuki	We can do that, but Kanade... Your stomach is growling.
Kanade	I don't think—
Growl
Mafuyu	Kanade, you need to eat even when you're here.
Kanade	I see. I thought maybe I'd be able to just keep working without having to eat or sleep if I stayed here.
Mizuki	You'd abandon your humanity if it meant you could work on your music without needing to take a break...

Kanade, Mafuyu & Mizuki (3)
Mizuki	I'm getting to get a little hungry.
Kanade	Why don't you head back and get some food?
Mizuki	I was going to, but... Is there some kind of rule against bringing food or drinks here?
Mafuyu	I don't know. I've never thought about it.
Kanade	Me neither.
Kanade	I don't think I really want this place smelling like instant noodles or french fries, though.
Mizuki	Yikes. Yeah, you're right. I'll make sure to eat at home before I come back.

Kanade, Ena & Mizuki (1)
Mizuki	Hey, I've been wondering. How far does this SEKAI go?
Ena	I don't know. If you really want to know, why don't you see if you can find the edge?
Kanade	I already tried doing that once. I don't recommend it.
Kanade	There aren't any landmarks to get your bearing. It's really easy to forget which direction you came from, and then you can't get back.
Kanade	If it wasn't for the Untitled song, I probably would have gotten lost forever.
Ena	Seriously?! That's kind of terrifying...
Mizuki	I bet we'd be able to do it if we had something like Ariadne's thread.
Ena	What's that?
Mizuki	Oh, I just meant we could lay down string to mark the path we take.
Mizuki	It might be fun to go on a little adventure. Maybe I'll give it a try one of these days.

Kanade, Ena & Mizuki (2)
Kanade	All right, I'm going to head back to my room and—guh!
Crash
Mizuki	Whoa! Kanade, are you all right?! You look like you stood up too fast.
Kanade	No, I stepped on my hair. It happens sometimes when I sit on the ground.
Ena	Oh, I guess your hair is pretty long. You don't tie it up, either.
Mizuki	Yeah. Why don't you put it up or cut some of it off?
Kanade	Too much effort.
Mizuki	I knew you were gonna say that.

Kanade, Ena & Mizuki (3)
Ena	Sorry for making you both come over like this.
Mizuki	No, that's totally fine. I'd just reached a good place to take a break.
Kanade	Anyway, can you tell us more about what you were talking about in the chat?
Ena	Yeah, my mom and her friends decided to make some caneles... And they started having so much fun that they ended up making this enormous batch.
Ena	They're actually pretty good, so wanna have some together?
Mizuki	Is that what this is about? Yeah, of course!
Kanade	Yes, I'd like some as well. I can substitute this for dinner.
Ena	Kanade... I'm glad you want to try some, but make sure to have an actual meal later, okay?
Kanade	O-Okay... In that case, this will be a nice snack.

Kanade, Ena & Mizuki (4)
Mizuki	We really missed an opportunity there.
Kanade	What are you talking about?
Mizuki	Seeing you in a blouse, Kanade. We let a big chance slip.
Ena	Given the situation, we didn't exactly have time to think about that.
Mizuki	I know... But didn't you wanna see her too, Ena?
Ena	Well, I mean...
Mizuki	I know. Kanade, if you're up to it, can you wear that blouse next time? It might give us a huge boost of motivation for when we work!
Kanade	It will? I'm a little embarrassed about it, but I'll try wearing it if I remember...
Ena	Really?!
Mizuki	Haha! I knew it! You totally wanna see her wearing it, Ena!

Kanade, Mafuyu, Ena & Mizuki (1)
Ena	Sorry I'm late! Have you guys started listening to the demo already?
Kanade	No, we're still waiting for Miku and everyone else.
Ena	Okay, good.
Mafuyu	Ena, you're still in your uniform...
Ena	Yeah, classes went on longer than I expected.
Kanade	A uniform? It's been so long... I remember worrying so much about getting out wrinkles and fixing the pleating on my skirt.
Mizuki	I know, right?! The more pleated it is, the harder it is to iron the darn thing...
Mafuyu	Apparently, it's also not a good idea to leave your bow tied since it causes the fabric to warp over time.
Ena	Really, even the bow? Luckily, the ones for our uniforms come pre-tied.
Mizuki	Come to think of it, I've never seen anyone from Miya Girls taking any liberties with their uniforms. All the Kamiyama kids sort of just do whatever they want.
Mafuyu	The rules state that we can only wear certain things a certain way, including the color of our sweaters...
Ena	You'd think they'd let us wear something more fashionable considering where we live, you know?

Kanade, Mafuyu, Ena & Mizuki (2)
Mizuki	Hey, Ena. Can you teach me how to draw sometime? I'm supposed to draw a landscape for art class and...
Ena	Sure, but no funny business.
Mizuki	Of course! If I do well on this one, I might get to skip anything like it in the future♪
Mafuyu	Conversely, your teacher might say, "You'd be a shining example for the others, so I'll be looking forward to seeing more."
Kanade	Oh, Mafuyu, does that mean...?
Mafuyu	Yes. I get told that a lot...
Ena	What? Who died and made you queen?
Mafuyu	I'm just recounting my own experiences.
Kanade	Wouldn't that be the opposite of what you're trying to achieve, Mizuki...?
Mizuki	To be fair, I could just tell them to ask someone from the art club to do it instead if that does happen since I'm hardly ever at school.
Mizuki	Anyway, that's my sitch. I can't wait for our lesson, Ms. Ena♪
Ena	Just so you know, you're not getting any special treatment...

Kanade, Mafuyu, Ena & Mizuki (3)
Ena	This place is as empty as ever.
Mizuki	Haha. But there are more people here now.
Kanade	Yes, there are. Miku was all alone here at first.
Ena	That's true. Then Rin, MEIKO and Luka came alone... And something happened along the way each time.
Mizuki	Yeah. Even so, Mafuyu does actually seem to be changing a little bit at a time.
Mafuyu	I am...?
Ena	All you used to say was, "I don't know." But that's not always the case anymore.
Kanade	Right. I think that's important to think about, Mafuyu.
Kanade	And we'll be happy to help you out whenever you feel or think of anything.
Mafuyu	Okay...

Kanade, Mafuyu, Ena & Mizuki (4)
Mizuki	Kanade, Mafuyu, listen! You gotta hear what Ena did!
Kanade	Huh? Did something happen?
Mizuki	I went to see a movie with her and I really liked how it was going, but she just sat there quietly with a vacant expression...
Mizuki	And guess what she told me when I asked her what she thought about it?! "I already know what happens..."
Ena	Hey, don't blame me for that. I was on a review site and just happened to stumble across some spoilers.
Kanade	Oh, I see. That does happen...
Mizuki	Ugh... All you had to do was not look anywhere like that!
Ena	I was just looking for a quick preview or synopsis, okay?
Mafuyu	But you always complain on Nightcord about having to read up on things for school or how it's better to just figure things out right then and there...
Ena	That's different. This is about time and money, so I want to get the most out of it.
Mafuyu	But those spoilers took away from that, right? Mizuki certainly seemed to enjoy the movie more than you.
Ena	...
Mizuki	Haha. Ena's such a clutz.
Ena	Shut up!

Kanade, Mafuyu, Ena & Mizuki (5)
Mizuki	Hey, I've been thinking. Is there anything around here we could turn into a sort of landmark?
Kanade	Huh? Something that can act as a landmark?
Mizuki	Yeah. Miku talked about how Len got pretty lost immediately after arriving in SEKAI.
Mafuyu	Oh, that's right... Len said the same thing.
Ena	Really...? I mean, there just isn't a whole lot here and it's pretty much the same landscape wherever you go.
Mizuki	Right? So, if we figured out a way to know where we are, we'd be able to travel pretty far without getting lost.
Kanade	So, how should we actually go about doing that...?
Mizuki	Hmm... What if we brought over some desks or tables and stuff to set up a few rest areas?
Ena	Wait, that sounds like a lot of work... And a lot of stuff to bring over too...
Mizuki	Hmm... You think so?
Mafuyu	Rest areas aside, I'm sure Miku and the others will figure something out if they need a method of knowing where they are...
Ena	As for us, all we have to do is stop Untitled to return to our respective rooms.
Mizuki	Yeah, true.

Kanade, Mafuyu, Ena & Mizuki (6)
Kanade	Thank you all for agreeing to meet on such short notice.
Mafuyu	That's okay... But why did you bring a pillow, Kanade?
Mizuki	Yeah, I was gonna ask the same question...
Kanade	Oh, I won this from a raffle at the shopping mall... However, I'm happy with the one I have right now, so I was hoping to give it to someone who actually wants it.
Ena	Why not just keep it...? Or do you have trouble falling asleep with a different pillow?
Kanade	No, I don't. But, I don't have anywhere to put it...
Mizuki	Ah, so that's it...
Mafuyu	That's understandable, but can't you just leave it on your bed? After all, it is a pillow.
Ena	She's right, Kanade. You won it, so why not try using it?
Mizuki	Yeah. What if it turns out to be so comfy that it helps you really rest and recover♪
Kanade	Okay. Then, I'll try using it tonight...

Kanade, Mafuyu, Ena & Mizuki (7)
Kanade	Once Miku and the others get here, we can start listening to the demo.
Mizuki	Also, Mafuyu, glad you could join us.
Mafuyu	My mom's busy with neighborhood association business today, but I still can't stay for very long.
Ena	We know. It's still nice to be here, right?
Mafuyu	Yes...
Kanade	(Working together would be the most ideal... But the time we spend together like this is just as important...)
Mafuyu	Kanade, would you mind telling us more about your demo while we wait for Miku and the others to arrive...?
Ena	Yeah, good idea. I wanna hear your explanation again.
Kanade	Okay. So, with this song, I was hoping to convey how...

Kanade, Mafuyu, Ena & Mizuki (8)
Mizuki	Oh, hey! Wanna have our next after-party at a different diner?
Ena	I don't mind, but why...?
Mizuki	Because we all sort of have a usual now. Also, the juice bar's sort of starting to lose its pizzazz...
Kanade	I'm fine with anywhere as long as it’s in Shibuya.
Mizuki	Really?! Then, how about somewhere near Mafuyu's cram school? That should make it easier for her to come!
Ena	Wait, wouldn't that be bad since a lot of Miya Girls students also hang around there?
Mafuyu	She's right. If possible, I'd prefer a place where I won't be seen...
Mizuki	Yeah, that makes sense… Alright, I'll try looking for a good place before we throw our next one! I can see what looks good on the menu while I'm at it♪
Kanade	Okay, thank you.
Kanade	(It really is nice to be able to meet and spend time with each other like this...)
Kanade	(We're going to need to treasure every minute moving forward...)

Kanade, Mafuyu, Ena & Mizuki (9)
Mizuki	I always feel this sense of relief whenever we're all able to get together like this, you know?
Ena	Relief, huh...? Yeah, I guess it is good to see that a certain someone's still hanging in there.
Mafuyu	Sorry...
Mafuyu	Also, I heard that you all went out looking for me after you found out my phone broke.
Kanade	We did, but we couldn't do much. Fortunately, Miku and KAITO were able to reach you.
Mizuki	I know, right? Oh, should we set up a rendezvous point just in case something like this happens again...?
Ena	Wait, isn't that what families do for fires and stuff...?
Kanade	Umm... Let's just hope this doesn't happen again.

Kanade, Mafuyu, Ena & Mizuki (10)
Kanade	Phew... This place really is nice and quiet.
Mizuki	I know, right?! The area around the station's been so packed lately that it's been hard to get to where you wanna go.
Ena	Yeah, and there's usually a huge influx of people this time of year. Can't half of them just disappear...?
Mafuyu	Ena, you sound like a supervillain...
Ena	A supervillain...? No, I doubt I'm the only one thinking that.
Mizuki	"Heh heh heh. Foolish humans! As punishment for multiplying too quickly, half of you shall disappear!"
Kanade	If you think about it, keeping half around sounds pretty merciful...
Mafuyu	I agree.
Ena	Wait, what do you mean?!

Kanade (1)
Kanade	I left the house because I really wanted to check out that new movie...
Kanade	But it's so crowded and noisy out...
Kanade	Maybe I'll just wait for it to hit streaming.

Kanade (2)
Kanade	I'm glad I went to visit, but he still can't speak...
Kanade	Dad...
Kanade	I hope we can chat next time...

Kanade (3)
Kanade	The light's about to change.
Kanade	But even if I run, I won't make it in time.
Kanade	I think I'll just take the pedestrian tunnel. It takes longer, but at least there's no sun.

Ichika & Kanade (1)
Ichika	Oh...
Kanade	Oh...
Ichika	Hello, Kanade. Um... Are you going somewhere today?
Kanade	Yes, I received a notice saying that the CD I ordered is available at the shop...
Ichika	I see...
Ichika & Kanade	...
Ichika & Kanade	So...! So...
Kanade	I'm sorry, Hoshino. Please, you first.
Ichika	O-Okay. So... Would it be alright if I tagged along?
Kanade	Yes, of course. The CD I ordered is actually an album by this artist who produced a lot of Miku and Luka songs. Incidentally, I was just about to ask to see if you'd be interested in joining me.
Ichika	You were?! Thank you very much. I'd love to join you!
Kanade	Okay. Then, shall we?
Ichika & Kanade	(I feel much more comfortable talking to her now compared to before...)

Ichika & Kanade (2)
Ichika	Kanade, hello!
Kanade	Oh, Hoshino. You have your guitar case with you. Are you off to band practice...?
Ichika	Yes... Huh? Kanade, you smell really nice for some reason...
Kanade	I do...? Oh, that might be because of the scented candle you gave me.
Kanade	I still felt sleepy after waking up earlier, so I decided to light it.
Ichika	I see. So... How is it?
Kanade	Very nice. Its gentle aroma makes me feel so refreshed. I've been thinking about using it before I go to bed.
Ichika	Really?! I'm so glad that it's helping. Please, keep using it as much as you like...!

Minori & Kanade (1)
Kanade	Guh... I knew it'd be bright out during the day... But I need to go to the hospital to visit Dad...
Minori	Huh? Kanade...? Hi, Kanade!
Kanade	Oh, Hanasato... Were you about to go somewhere?
Minori	Yeah, I'm gonna do some singing practice at a karaoke place!
Minori	Are you off to visit your dad at the hospital? I'm not in a hurry, so I'll be happy to help out again!
Kanade	Thank you. But I should be okay this time since I'm not taking very much today.
Minori	Okay! Oh, but you should make sure to hydrate when you can since it's supposed to get really hot today.
Minori	Drink a little bit at a time before you start feeling thirsty. And don't forget to ask someone for help if you think you're not feeling well, okay? I'm sure they'll be more than happy to assist!
Kanade	Alright, I will. Thank you very much. I'll see you later.
Footsteps
Kanade	(Hanasato's has such a bright aura about her...)

Minori & Kanade (2)
Minori	Hi, Kanade! Were you about to go somewhere?
Kanade	Oh, Hanasato... Um, I was just about to go pick up the CD I reserved, but I'm thinking about going home since getting through this crowd seems exhausting.
Minori	Hmm... I think it's more crowded than usual here because there's an event going on at the park that's just nearby...
Minori	And you went out of your way to reserve this CD, so you must be looking forward to listening to it. I was also thinking about heading over to the CD shop, so I can lead the way for you...
Kanade	Wait, Hanasato, behind you...!
Minori	Huh? Wah...! Oh, um... I'm okay!
Minori	Eep! I-I'm so sorry! No, I should've been looking where I was going... Oh no!
Minori	I-I-I'm really sorry! Yes, I'm okay! Don't worry about me!
Kanade	A-Are you okay...? You really got tossed around back there...
Minori	Th-This is nothing! I'm totally fine... But...
Minori	Well... There's also the underground passageway, so why don't we use that instead...?
Kanade	Oh, right... That does sound better... Thank you, Hanasato.

Kanade & Mafuyu (1)
Mafuyu	I'll take you to the nearest electronics store. You're looking for an air purifier, right?
Kanade	Yeah. I clean my room, but it still feels like the air is always filled with dust.
Mafuyu	Are you making sure to air the room out? Even opening the windows a little will make a big difference.
Kanade	The windows? I think I'll just stick with the air purifier.
Mafuyu	Is opening the windows really so bad?

Kanade & Mafuyu (2)
Mafuyu	Kanade? Is everything alright? It's not very often I see you out and about.
Kanade	I feel like everyone I meet outside says the same thing.
Mafuyu	That's because you almost never leave your house.
Kanade	Well, yeah. I get so tired when I leave the house, and the sun is so bright.
Kanade	If only my mouse wasn't acting up, I wouldn't have to be out here right now...

Kanade & Mafuyu (3)
Kanade	Oh...
Mafuyu	Hm? Kanade...? Are you seeing your dad?
Kanade	No, actually, a movie. This thriller was rebooted and...
Mafuyu	...
Rustle
Kanade	Huh? Um, Mafuyu...? Why are you rubbing my forehead...?
Mafuyu	No fever... So, why this movie?
Kanade	Why...? Because a famous music director wrote the score for it and I read online that it's really good.
Mafuyu	I see... I'm surprised that you're out doing something other than visiting your dad.
Kanade	To be fair... You surprised me too...
Kanade	(I mean, she actually checked my temperature. I'm glad she's showing concern for me, but still...)

Kanade & Mafuyu (4)
Kanade	Mafuyu, you're also a third-year now...
Kanade	This past year went by so quickly. And so much happened...
Mafuyu	You're right...
Kanade	We went to a lot of different places. The doll exhibit, the mystery tour, the amusement park...
Kanade	I hope we get the chance to go to even more...
Mafuyu	Such as...?
Kanade	Umm... Nothing immediately comes to mind.
Kanade	But, anywhere works. As long as you want to go, I'll be there.
Mafuyu	Okay...

Kanade & Mizuki (1)
Mizuki	Kanade, you always start slurping your cup noodles as soon as the three minutes are up. Aren't they hot?
Kanade	It's never bothered me before.
Mizuki	That's crazy. I can't handle food when it's that hot.
Kanade	I think you just have to get used to it. If you had them for every meal like I do, I'm sure you'd be fine.
Mizuki	Every meal? I don't think I could do that...

Kanade & Mizuki (2)
Kanade	Sigh...
Mizuki	Hm? Kanade? Is everything okay? You don’t look so good.
Kanade	Oh, Mizuki. The sun’s just so bright. My eyes are having trouble adjusting to the light.
Mizuki	That’s all? Are you sure it’s not anything else?
Kanade	Huh? Yes, it’s just my eyes.
Mizuki	Thank goodness... Wait, no, not good! You need to get out more, Kanade!
Mizuki	Get in some sun and feel its warmth! So come out of the shade already!
Footsteps
Kanade	W-Wait, Mizuki, if I go out there, who knows what’ll happen to my eyes...!

Kanade, Mafuyu & Ena (1)
Ena	Come on, light, hurry up and change.
Kanade	From what I've heard, this light lasts for 2 minutes and 40 seconds. If that's true, then we have 45 seconds left.
Ena	Really? Where's my watch? I'm going to test that.
Mafuyu	If I remember right, Kanade is like a human stopwatch. She's always right.
Kanade	Actually, I'm only accurate up to about five minutes.
Ena	Forty-four, forty-five. Wow, it really turned green!
Mafuyu	Told you so.
Kanade	It's nothing. Come on, let's go.

Kanade, Mafuyu & Mizuki (1)
Mizuki	Have you seen the article going around online recently about people trying to figure out who the members of Nightcord at 25:00 are?
Kanade	Nope. Didn't even know about it.
Mizuki	I thought not. It's actually pretty interesting!
Mizuki	There was one part saying Yuki is probably the one you'd least want to get angry!
Mafuyu	Huh...
Mafuyu	And what exactly did you find so fascinating about an article like that, Mizuki?
Mizuki	Huh? Well, um...
Kanade	(She looks like a deer caught in headlights...)

Kanade, Mafuyu & Mizuki (2)
Mizuki	Hey, there. How have you two been?
Mafuyu	Fine...
Kanade	I'm all right...
Mizuki	Neither of you sound like it. Especially you, Kanade. Have you been getting enough sun?
Mizuki	We may not need as much as plants do, but people still need some sunlight to stay healthy.
Kanade	I know that, but opening the curtains or going outside hurts my eyes.
Mafuyu	If the brightness bothers you that much, why don't you get some sunglasses?
Mizuki	What?! Sunglasses with that outfit?! I definitely can't allow her to do that.
Kanade	I guess the sun and I will just never get along, then.

Kanade, Ena & Mizuki (1)
Kanade	.....
Ena	Oh, Kanade!
Mizuki	Hey, there! You on your way to the diner?
Kanade	No. It's so bright today that I was actually thinking of heading home.
Ena	Yeah, the weather is really nice today.
Mizuki	I'm not letting you go home, though♪ Mafuyu's on her way, so come on! The light's green. Let's go.

Kanade, Ena & Mizuki (2)
Ena	Ah, the light's about to change.
Mizuki	You're right! I hate waiting, so let's run!
Kanade	There's no need.
Mizuki	What? But the weather is so clear today. I thought it was hard for you to be out in the sun like this.
Kanade	That's true, but running is even worse.
Kanade	Besides, don't need to. We can just use the underground passage over there.
Kanade	Then we don't have to worry about the sun or traffic lights.
Ena	I-I guess that's true.
Kanade	If they're going to make underground passages, I wish they could use them to connect the whole city.

Kanade, Ena & Mizuki (3)
Ena	That abstract art exhibit was pretty good.
Mizuki	Yeah. I had absolutely no idea what any of the paintings were supposed to be, but that just made them more interesting.
Kanade	Some of them had written descriptions, but even most of those didn't really help.
Kanade	Still, they made you use your imagination. I think it was a good source of inspiration.
Ena	That's good. I'll let you know if I hear about any other interesting exhibits coming up.
Mizuki	I bet there are a ton of different kinds of paintings. I think I'll do a little research of my own.
Kanade	Okay. Mafuyu was too busy with club to make it today, so we should all try going together next time.

Honami, Emu, Kanade & Mizuki (1)
Emu	I'm so glad the four of us get to hang out like this again☆
Honami	Hehe. Me too. Thank you for joining us, Ms. Yoisaki.
Kanade	It worked out nicely since I already had plans to go somewhere. Anyway, about this cafe you said you wanted to see...
Mizuki	Yeah, it's a cafe with an orchard inside! You can have parfaits made using the fruits you pick right there♪
Kanade	Wait, they have an indoor orchard?
Mizuki	I know, right?! I couldn't believe it when I first saw it online.
Honami	I looked up their website after Mizuki told us about it... It looks really incredible.
Kanade	Really...? Maybe I should've looked it up too...
Emu	I didn't look anything up☆ I wanna be wowed when I see it in real life♪
Mizuki	Yeah, I like that! There's a real wow factor, so it'll be great to see how you two react when we get there!
Honami	Hehe. Then, let's start heading over. We do have a reservation to keep.
Emu & Mizuki	Yeah!

Kanade, Mafuyu, Ena & Mizuki (1)
Kanade	Sigh...
Ena	Kanade, are you okay? You seem tired...
Kanade	A little. It's been a while since I last walked this much...
Mizuki	This much...? All we did was go to the diner where we usually have our after parties...
Mafuyu	Kanade almost never goes outside to begin with...
Mafuyu	What if you did some jogging in SEKAI...? That place is seemingly endless, so you could run for as long as you like.
Ena	Whoa, time out! That sounds really scary...!
Kanade	But it's true that I don't get enough exercise. Since running or jogging isn't much of an option, I suppose I could walk around my room more instead...
Mizuki	Inside your room? Is it really that big?
Kanade	No, it's pretty cluttered. There's really only room around my bed and bookshelves.
Mizuki	What...? That's like no room at all...
Kanade	You think so? I won't get tired if it's about that distance.
Mizuki	No, that defeats the whole purpose of exercising!

Kanade, Mafuyu, Ena & Mizuki (2)
Kanade	It's interesting how meeting at a diner like this has become a regular occurrence.
Ena	Yeah, this is actually pretty fun. A part of me honestly believed that this would be pointless.
Mizuki	Pretty fun? You're the one who cuts loose the most every time.
Ena	What? That's totally you, Mizuki.
Mafuyu	You're both equally obnoxious...
Ena	Excuse me?
Mizuki	Haha! Ena getting mad at Mafuyu butting in like this feels completely normal too.
Kanade	It didn't always go smoothly at first...
Kanade	(But I guess we've been together just that long now...)
Mafuyu	Kanade, we need to cross.
Kanade	Okay, I'll be right there.

Kanade, Mafuyu, Ena & Mizuki (3)
Mizuki	Sigh I can't believe our usual diner's full.
Ena	What should we do? It's a bit of a pain, but wanna try finding somewhere else to go?
Kanade	Yes, but... I have a feeling that other places are going to be just as crowded...
Mafuyu	How about a park...?
Ena	Huh?
Mafuyu	The parks usually aren't too crowded.
Mizuki	Oh, true! It's nice out, so we can grab some drinks and hang out there!
Kanade	In that case, why not go to the flower bed from before? I heard it's time for them to start blooming.
Ena	Really? I might try sketching some.
Mizuki	Hehe. This might turn into a fun, little picnic♪

Kanade (1)
Kanade	Oh, whatever this spice is, the smell is really strong... It's not as bad as cilantro or natto, but still...
Kanade	And this is the only way to the hospital.
Kanade	I'm going to have to go back, take a deep breath, then hold it to get through.

Kanade (2)
Kanade	I'm lucky I was able to get my headset repaired.
Kanade	I wasn't expecting one side to just go out like that. Now I can finally get back to work.
Kanade	I'm already behind. I should hurry home and get started.

Ichika & Kanade (1)
Ichika	Oh! Hello, Yoisaki!
Kanade	Hoshino? H-Hello...
Ichika	(Oh no. I called out to her without really thinking about it...)
Kanade	(I... I should probably stay and talk, but... About what...?)
Ichika	A-Are you going somewhere today...?
Kanade	Y-Yes. Just a quick errand. How about you, Hoshino...?
Ichika	Oh, um... I'm on my way to work.
Kanade	I see...
Ichika & Kanade	...
Ichika & Kanade	(What do I say next...?)

Ichika & Kanade (2)
Ichika	Oh, Kanade, hello!
Kanade	Hello. Are you headed to band practice?
Ichika	No, I have a shift today. I work at that fast food place just over there.
Kanade	Wow... I wouldn't be able to since I don't exactly have the best customer service skills.
Ichika	It can take some getting used to. I wasn't really sure what to do when I first started either, so I basically just did as the more experienced employees told me.
Ichika	Also, I had a lot of trouble smiling... Everyone kept telling me that I needed to relax more.
Kanade	I see. But now...
Ichika	I can smile more naturally compared to when I first started...
Kanade	(I'm guessing all her customers get to see this wonderful smile.)

Minori & Kanade (1)
Kanade	Huh...? Hanasato? Why are you trying to hide in the shadows?
Minori	N-No, I am not Hanasato!
Minori	Oh, Kanade, it's you! Thank goodness. I was afraid that one of my fans had found me.
Kanade	Huh? Oh, are your fans chasing after you right now or something...?
Minori	Well, I'm not really being chased after... More like, what if they're around...? Actually, I'm sort of looking for them at this point...
Kanade	Oh... Hehe. This is very like you, Hanasato.
Minori	Sob An idol shouldn't be acting like this! P-Please don't tell anyone else about this!
Kanade	Nod I promise not to tell anyone.

Kanade & Mafuyu (1)
Mafuyu	Oh... Kanade? This is a rare sight.
Kanade	Hello, Mafuyu. I went to the hospital to visit my dad today. Are you on your way to cram school?
Mafuyu	No, I came to buy some new seagrass for my aquarium to replace any old ones.
Kanade	I see... Would you mind if I came along, Mafuyu?
Mafuyu	No, but why?
Kanade	I want to learn more about the things you like and find some new information that’s not based on music.
Mafuyu	I see... Okay, but I don’t even know if I actually like my aquarium.
Kanade	But you came all this way to buy new seagrass for it, so I’m sure you have some interest.
Mafuyu	I do...?
Kanade	Yes, I’m sure of it.

Kanade & Ena (1)
Kanade	So many people. I'm even having trouble walking.
Ena	Yeah. And a lot of them are just hanging out. Oh, wait a second...
Ena	All the university clubs and groups might be holding welcome parties for new members.
Kanade	Oh, right... It is that time of year.
Kanade	Everyone's really energetic... Oh, those people are making some odd noises...
Ena	Geez, they sound like party animals. Remind me to never hang out with people like that.

Kanade & Mizuki (1)
Mizuki	How did you like the shop I recommended?!
Kanade	You said most of their stuff was handmade, so I wasn't really expecting much.
Kanade	But I was really impressed. Especially with those doll eyes.
Kanade	The texture looked so real, and the detail in the irises made it feel like you might get sucked in. Hm... I need to hurry home.
Mizuki	I knew you would appreciate how good they... Wait, you're leaving already?!
Kanade	I feel a really good melody coming on. I'll see you on Nightcord later.

Kanade & Mizuki (2)
Mizuki	Got the anime magazine that I was after and the soundtrack for that game. Today's been awesome!
Kanade	Oh, Mizuki...!
Mizuki	K-Kanade?!
Mizuki	What are you doing in a back alley like this? Are you hiding or something...?
Kanade	I am... All these people were asking me if they can cut my hair or be a model for them, so I decided to run and hide...
Mizuki	Oh, I see...
Mizuki	I can walk with you for most of the way. I'll even keep people from bugging you, okay?
Kanade	Thank you. You're a lifesaver.

Kanade, Mafuyu & Ena (1)
Ena	Yawn... I'm so tired...
Kanade	I'm...kinda tired too...
Mafuyu	Were you up late reading comments on our videos again?
Kanade	Yeah. It wasn't anything major, but I did change things up a little for the most recent song.
Ena	Some people were pretty surprised, but a lot of the comments were really positive.
Mafuyu	Is that so? That's good.
Kanade	Yeah...
Kanade	(I have to try a bunch of different things if I'm going to write a song that'll save Mafuyu.)
Ena	Let's head over to the usual diner. Mizuki's probably sick of waiting for us by now.

Kanade, Mafuyu & Ena (2)
Ena	Where did you say you were going today? A concert for some video game soundtrack?
Kanade	Yeah. I own the soundtrack, so I've been looking forward to hearing it performed live.
Mafuyu	I didn't realize you listened to video game music. Does Mizuki recommend songs to you?
Kanade	Sometimes, but I usually search for them on my own.
Kanade	With so many genres of games, there's a huge variety in the types of music they use.
Kanade	I've actually learned a lot from studying how games use different types of music to build their worlds.
Ena	Huh. So does that mean you play them yourself?
Kanade	No, I mostly watch playthrough videos online.
Mafuyu	You just watch them?
Kanade	I get so caught up in the music that I almost always end up getting killed right away. I just don't think I'm suited to play games.

Kanade, Mafuyu & Ena (3)
Ena	It doesn't feel like much of a celebration if we go to the same diner we always do.
Ena	What do you say we look for another place before Mizuki gets here?
Kanade	I'm fine with anywhere.
Mafuyu	Me too.
Ena	Come on, you two! We're supposed to be celebrating the upload of our latest song! At least try to act excited!

Kanade, Ena & Mizuki (1)
Mizuki	Hey, you two! Did you watch that late-night mecha anime last night?! The animation and the story are so good!
Ena	Why would you think Kanade or I would be interested in watching anime about robots?
Kanade	You mean Heavy Suit Duke Rollam?
Ena	What?! You're joking!
Mizuki	Yeah, that's the one! I figured you might be watching it!
Kanade	I've never seen it, so I thought I'd give it a try.
Kanade	I was so focused on the background music that I don't really remember what happened, though.
Mizuki	What?! But the first time watching it is the best! You really don't remember anything except the background music?!
Ena	That actually sounds exactly like Kanade...

Kanade, Ena & Mizuki (2)
Mizuki	Hey, Ena. Isn't the shop where your little brother works around here somewhere?
Ena	No. I think it's on some fashion alley or something. I forget the name.
Mizuki	You don't even know where your own brother works? I kinda wanted to go check it out.
Ena	And why would that be, exactly?
Mizuki	I dunno. Maybe—
Ena	Nothing good, I bet. C'mon, Kanade. Let's go!
Kanade	There she goes...
Mizuki	I wish she'd learn to listen before getting so upset.
Mizuki	(All I was going to do is talk about how she does such a great job drawing all the illustrations for our songs.)

Kanade, Ena & Mizuki (3)
Ena	Let's see, where are the latest photogenic shops?
Kanade	Do you put as much thought into your photo compositions as you do into the illustrations you make?
Mizuki	I doubt it. It doesn't take much thought when your face always takes up most of the frame.
Ena	Excuse me? I always put thought into my photos.
Ena	Shadows, angles, what's visible in the frame, what I want the viewer to focus on!
Mizuki	And yet you still slap a filter on it at the end.
Ena	That's simply another tool used to show one's skills!
Kanade	So... Are you going to answer my original question?

Kanade, Ena & Mizuki (4)
Mizuki	Hey, they've got a new flavor of french fries! I kinda want to try them.
Ena	I feel like you said the same thing the last time we went shopping.
Kanade	Do you try new flavors every time they come out?
Mizuki	Of course! I always make sure to try the combinations that sound weird, too! You never know when they're gonna be strangely good!
Mizuki	Who would have thought a bunch of french fries would help remind you that it's never good to have preconceived notions.
Kanade	Maybe I'll give this new flavor a try too, then.
Ena	I'll try them too. I'm starting to get a little hungry, anyway.
Mizuki	Time for a snack break, then! I hope the new flavor is a good one!

Ichika, Honami, Nene & Kanade (1)
Ichika	Hi, Honami, Kanade...!
Honami	Hi, Ichika, Kusanagi. Were you two about to practice together?
Nene	Yeah. Um, how about you two...?
Kanade	I ran into her while on my way home, and we were just talking about what I'd like to have made for dinner the next time she comes over...
Kanade	Oh yeah... If you two are about to practice together, would you mind if I watched?
Honami	I'd like to watch as well. Would that be alright with you two...?
Ichika	Um... What do you think?
Nene	We're really just going to practice like normal, so I'm not sure watching us is going to be all that enjoyable...
Honami	Hehe. That's something I'd expect Emu to say. She always likes to take her audience into consideration.
Nene	R-Really? I guess it's natural for us, being show performers and all.
Kanade	I don't mind. If anything, I'd like to see what you two usually do.
Ichika	In that case, it's fine by me. I'm probably going to feel nervous, but I'll put in my usual effort.

Shiho, Shizuku, An & Kanade (1)
Kanade	Uh oh...
An	Kanade, are you okay? You seem kinda queasy.
Kanade	I'm... Not okay... And all my muscles are aching...
Shiho	You were pretty much out of breath again during warm-ups today...
Shizuku	Yes, I noticed that as well. However, we've only been practicing for a week, so I'm sure you'll get used to it soon.
An	Yeah, I hope so... But at this rate, we're gonna have to call ourselves BORO BORO JUMP!
Kanade	Sigh You may be right...
An	I know. This older guy at my school's always making these weird machines and contraptions.
An	He made this power armor suit one time and had his friend wear it for him. You should've seen the way he danced and how high he could jump!
Shizuku	That sounds incredible! That would make your life so much easier, Kanade!
Shiho	You're serious? An idol wearing power armor?
Shiho	Also, doesn't taking shortcuts sort of defeat the purpose of inspiring hope in others?
An	Yeah, true... Alright, how about some running? My best friend runs every morning and night to build up her stamina.
Kanade	E-Every morning and night...? I don't like waking up early and I need to keep my evenings open to work on my music...
An	In that case, I'll come over to wake you up, and then we can even try running together. What do you say?
Shiho	I'd be willing to join too. I don't want to see just one of us having to work so hard.
Shizuku	Yes, I agree! Let's give it a try together, Kanade!
Shizuku	And strive towards being able to sing your song on stage as a group!
Kanade	I mean... Well...
Kanade	(Th-They're too nice. I can't say no...)

Kanade, Mafuyu, Ena & Mizuki (1)
Ena	Hey, I got discount coupons for the rescue cat cafe. Should we all go together?
Mizuki	What's a rescue cat cafe?
Ena	It's a cat cafe, except the cats they look after are strays that they're helping find new owners.
Mizuki	I've never even been to a regular cat cafe. Let's go use those coupons!
Kanade	Cats, huh...
Mafuyu	.....
Ena	Um... You don't like cats?
Mafuyu	I don't know. I've never petted one.
Kanade	Me neither.
Ena	You're kidding, right? Well, that settles it. We're going!
Ena	Relaxing with animals can unleash your creative potential, or so they say.
Mizuki	Haha. Seems like you want us to go no matter what, huh.
Mizuki	I think I can guess why. You want to take pics with cats and get lots of likes.
Ena	So what if I do?
Ena	Anyway! Let's meet up in front of the station this weekend and spend some quality time with the kitties!

Kanade, Mafuyu, Ena & Mizuki (2)
Ena	Geez, it's freezing out...! Actually getting to one of our afterparties feels like a chore now...
Mizuki	Relax. You'll get a chance to warm up once we're at the diner, so just hang on for a bit longer.
Mafuyu	Aren't you cold, Kanade...?
Kanade	I am, but I should be okay for now. I put on some thermals underneath my sweats to keep me warm.
Ena	Yeah... Those do keep you nice and warm, but they look so lame. Plus, they really dry out my skin...
Mizuki	Totally. But they make some in really cute colors now, and you can use lotion to keep your skin from drying out so... I might take function over form on this one.
Kanade	How about you, Mafuyu? I don't think I've ever seen you wearing anything rugged or outdoorsy...
Mafuyu	This might not be quite what you were talking about, but I'm wearing a warm undershirt that my mom gave me.
Ena	Wait, you're all wearing something underneath? I hate being cold, so guess I should start wearing mine too...
Mizuki	Yeah, we wouldn't want you to catch a cold because you were too stubborn. I know a place that sells this really amazing lotion if you're interested.
Ena	I said I'd wear it didn't I? Also, yes, please show me where that store is.
Kanade	I might buy some on our way back too. This dry air's been making my skin itch so much that I've been having trouble focusing.
Mafuyu	My mom was worried about the same thing. I think I'll buy some too...
Mizuki	Awesome! That means we get to go shopping together for a change! I can't wait♪

Kanade, Mafuyu, Ena & Mizuki (3)
Ena	Sigh I can't believe our usual diner was so crowded... They honestly expected us to wait an hour for a table...?
Mizuki	Yeah... They were all probably there for the limited-time fruit parfait they started today.
Mafuyu	So, where are we going to go for our after party...?
Kanade	Are there any other good alternatives...?
Mizuki	Oh, there's a karaoke place nearby that has pretty good food. Wanna try there?
Ena	Oh? Is it that good?
Mizuki	That's what I heard. I mean, the diner's obviously gonna have a more expansive menu.
Kanade	Let's try going there. I'd rather not lose more time.
Mizuki	Awesome! It's N25's first-ever karaoke after party♪
Ena	That's a mouthful.
Mizuki	Not. A. Problem. So, everyone, it's right this way. Follow me!

Honami & Kanade (1)
Honami	Oh, Ms. Yoisaki! Hello!
Kanade	Oh, hello. Um, that's quite a lot you have there...
Honami	Oh, these? They're all cleaning supplies. I was hoping to buy everything before it started getting chilly, but didn't have much time to until now.
Honami	I'll also be giving your house a thorough cleaning the next time I come over, so you can look forward to seeing your house in an immaculate state.
Kanade	Understood. And thank you for being so thoughtful, Ms. Mochizuki.

Honami & Kanade (2)
Kanade	Sigh We only walked and shopped for a little bit, but I feel exhausted for some reason.
Honami	Probably because it was crowded with so many people off today... Would you like to rest somewhere?
Kanade	No, we should head home and put away the ingredients we just bought.
Kanade	Come to think of it, I've never seen you tired before, Ms. Mochizuki.
Honami	Hehe. I'm actually a lot stronger than I look and I have quite a lot of stamina. I can manage even when I buy a few too many things at the store.
Kanade	That's incredible. Maybe I should work more on increasing my stamina...
Honami	Yes, well... I think even just walking and going out shopping together like this can be really good for your health.
Kanade	Oh, you think so?
Kanade	(On top of everything else, Ms. Mochizuki's really good at encouraging others.)

Kanade & Mafuyu (1)
Kanade	Thanks for coming today, Mafuyu. I found the novel I was looking for thanks to you.
Mafuyu	It's nothing. However, I am surprised that you want to reference a book instead of art or movies.
Kanade	Right. I haven't really been reading much lately because I thought my eyes would tire out too fast...
Kanade	But books let you visit so many different places without actually going anywhere, right?
Kanade	So it feels like a really efficient way to find good references.
Mafuyu	(So, you just don't want to leave your room...?)

Kanade & Ena (1)
Kanade	Sorry I'm late...
Ena	Hi, Kanade... Wait, you're still wearing those sweats?!
Kanade	They're the same design, but I just washed these.
Ena	Hehe. Right, I forgot that you own multiple sets of the same sweats.
Kanade	I do. Mizuki called it a heavy rotation, I think...
Ena	Well, that's not wrong but...
Ena	The chic fashion stuff from that store, or even just the casual stuff from that other one might really suit you, Kanade...
Kanade	You think so? But I'd feel bad if any nice clothes like that were to get dirty, and I'd have to be much more careful when I wash them...
Kanade	I don't have to put much though into what sweats I wear. They're comfortable and easy to move around in, so they're perfect for me.
Ena	I guess so. I just think you have a lot of potential, but we all have our preferences.

Kanade & Ena (2)
Ena	Kanade, fancy seeing you here! Are you out shopping too?
Kanade	Yes. Some of my sweats have become a bit worn, so I'm here to buy some new ones.
Ena	Oh, okay. Does that mean you got some tickets for the drawing they're having too?
Kanade	That's right... I think I did get one.
Ena	I'm all done shopping for now too. Wanna head over and see what we get? First prize is apparently a cake buffet pass for a really famous dessert shop.
Kanade	I don't really like sweets so I think I'll pass...
Ena	But when in Rome, right? Let's go! Besides, the less you want it, the more likely you are to win it!

Kanade & Mizuki (1)
Mizuki	Thanks for coming shopping with me today, Kanade♪
Kanade	Um... We just sort of ran into each other. I didn't expect to end up carrying your bags...
Mizuki	Hahaha. Sorry about that. One of my favorite shops was having a time-limited sale.
Mizuki	But here! I bought this barrette for you as a thank you! You just snap it on, so it's super easy to use.
Kanade	No, thanks. Too much hassle.
Mizuki	Oh, come on! It snaps right on! You don't even have to braid your hair or anything!

Kanade & Mizuki (2)
Kanade	It can be pretty and colorful when it's used on your cheeks or as eye shadow, but...
Kanade	People use purple make-up? Wouldn't that make you look sick...?
Mizuki	Not really, no. As a color, it's used a lot to give your skin more of a transparent tone♪
Mizuki	And when you pair it with something brighter in color, it can make your cheeks look silky smooth♪
Kanade	Really...? I didn't know that colors like these had their uses.
Mizuki	Exactly! Don't knock it 'til you try it, right? So let's apply that to you, Kanade♪ Step right this way!
Kanade	But I really don't... W-Wait, Mizuki?!

Kanade & Mizuki (3)
Mizuki	Hmm... Which one to get...?
Kanade	Mizuki, what are you looking at?
Mizuki	Oh, Kanade! I'm a second-year now, right? I figured it's my chance to try a new look!
Kanade	A new look?
Mizuki	Yeah! I'm going for something that screams, "The New Me!"
Mizuki	So, which ribbon do you think is better...?! I like this velour one, but this lace one's also really cute!
Kanade	Umm... I'm not sure either is going to lead to that big a change...

Kanade, Mafuyu & Ena (1)
Ena	Oh, look at how cute this plushie is! I think I'm gonna get it♪
Mafuyu	So this is where you get all those stuffed animals I see in the background of your selfies sometimes.
Kanade	That one seems a little different than the ones I remember seeing in your photos, though.
Ena	Oh, you're probably talking about the ones I got from my brother.
Ena	He's got a friend who's obsessed with arcades or something. Every once in a while, he wins so many prizes that he gives me a few.
Ena	They're not always the kind I'd buy for myself, but they at least make interesting backdrops for photos.

Kanade, Mafuyu & Mizuki (1)
Mizuki	All right, today, we're shopping for clothes for you two♪
Kanade	I don't need any clothes.
Mizuki	Sure you do! You're always wearing the same outfit. You should be wearing clothes that match the season!
Mafuyu	We can shop for Kanade, but I just wear whatever my mom buys for me.
Mizuki	That's fine as long as you really like them, but you've got to express your own personality with your clothes!
Mizuki	All right! Now I'm really fired up!
Mizuki	Kanade! Mafuyu! Today, we're going to find some clothes that both of you love!

Kanade, Mafuyu & Mizuki (2)
Mizuki	Well, I really like this one. Oh, but this one's cute too!
Mafuyu	Mizuki, you already have so many clothes. Do you really need to keep buying more?
Mizuki	Of course! I may have a lot, but each piece is unique!
Kanade	I have a lot of CDs and songs on my computer, but that's never stopped me from wanting more.
Kanade	Maybe this is similar to that.
Mafuyu	I guess it kinda makes sense when you put it like that.
Mizuki	Come on, you two. Let's enjoy our time out and about and do some more shopping♪

Kanade, Mafuyu, Ena & Mizuki (1)
Ena	How about this outfit? Isn't it cute?
Mizuki	Yeah, it's nice. Decent quality fabric for that price, and you can style it in lots of different ways and wear it any season.
Mafuyu	I don't think they want to leave this store.
Kanade	Yeah...
Kanade	(We've already had the party to celebrate the release of our new song, so why not just go home...)
Ena	Hey, Kanade!
Kanade	!!
Ena	Do you like this hat? I think it would look fabulous on you!
Kanade	A...hat? But I don't really go out...
Mizuki	If the sun bothers you, this hat will keep you cool!
Kanade	Listen, I'm just not a going-out type of person...
Mizuki	Don't make me beg you! Come here!
Kanade	No, what are you... M-Mafuyu!
Mafuyu	Don't worry about me. Have fun.
Kanade	Have pity on me...

Kanade (1)
Kanade	Here it is. The website said they were out, but I'm glad I came to check anyway.
Kanade	While I'm here, I should check out some other CDs and see if I can find anything good.

Ichika & Kanade (1)
Ichika	(This girl's hair is beautiful. It's perfectly straight. Not a single strand out of place.)
Kanade	(Her hair is so black... How pretty.)
Ichika & Kanade	Oh...
Ichika	Oh, excuse me.
Kanade	I'm sorry, too.
Ichika & Kanade	(I kind of want to touch it...)

Ichika & Kanade (2)
Kanade	...
Ichika	(Oh... Is that Yoisaki at the sampling corner?)
Kanade	The chord progression before the chorus is really interesting. I have a feeling that choosing more standard chords would've resulted in a significantly different song...
Kanade	It's a novel idea, and it succeeds at immersing the listener in the world this song's trying to create. Also...
Ichika	E-Excuse me, Yoisaki...
Kanade	Huh?! H-Hoshino...?!
Ichika	I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you. You were so immersed in what you were listening to that I wasn't sure if I should bother you...
Ichika	But, um... You were saying everything out loud just now, so I thought I should let you know...
Kanade	E-Everything? Oh no... This is so embarrassing.
Ichika	Hehe. I don't think anyone else was listening, so you should be safe.
Ichika	(The way she blushes is so cute.)

Kanade & Mafuyu (1)
Mafuyu	I listened to that artist everyone was talking about the other day, but I don't see what's so great. There's something off about the lyrics.
Kanade	Oh, you should watch the music videos. I think they'll change your mind.
Kanade	The lyrics alone don't explain everything. A lot of their songs are meant to be complemented by the videos.
Mafuyu	I see. That's an interesting way to make music. Thanks, I'll give them a try.
Kanade	Let me know when you have. I want to hear what you think.

Kanade & Mafuyu (2)
Kanade	Oh, I found it.
Mafuyu	Isn't that a drama soundtrack? I didn't know you listened to stuff like that.
Kanade	Yeah. It's really annoying that so many of these aren't available online.
Mafuyu	Hahaha. I can see that might be a problem for someone who doesn't get out to go shopping all that much...

Kanade & Ena (1)
Kanade	Ena, what are you thinking about when you do your makeup?
Ena	Huh? Well, I guess I'm usually thinking about my skin's condition and what will look good with that day's outfit.
Ena	Why do you ask?
Kanade	Just wondering. There's a line in the song I'm listening to that goes, My face is the canvas on which I paint my ideal self.

Kanade & Mizuki (1)
Mizuki	Whoa, it's Kanade! You're actually outside!
Kanade	There's a song I really wanted to listen to.
Mizuki	Oh? I figured you just downloaded all your music.
Kanade	I usually do, but there's something wrong with my connection today, and I couldn't wait.
Mizuki	Since you're out and about, let's go grab some tea!
Kanade	I don't know...
Mizuki	You should eat something other than instant noodles once in a while, too! C'mon♪

Kanade, Mafuyu & Mizuki (1)
Mizuki	The CD I'm looking for should be somewhere on this shelf.
Kanade	Why don't you just buy it online instead of coming all the way to the store?
Mizuki	Because I want something I can hold in my hands. Besides, if I buy it here, it comes with a bonus♪
Mafuyu	Mizuki, that makes you sound really materialistic. Here, is this it?
Mizuki	Yeah, that's it! Thanks, Mafuyu!
Mizuki	Hahaha. I just love the feeling of finally finding something you've been searching for. I always want more cute clothes too, so I guess I am a little materialistic, huh?
Kanade	That's nice and all, but look at the time.
Mizuki	Oh, you're right. Ena's probably waiting for us with that scary look she always gets. We should hurry to the diner.

Kanade, Mafuyu & Mizuki (2)
Mizuki	The list of songs we've released as N25 is getting pretty long. I bet we could even put out an album or two.
Mafuyu	I can't imagine seeing a CD of our own sitting here with all the others.
Kanade	It's hard for me to imagine too. I've never really thought about it, but...
Kanade	If we made a CD, I bet our music would reach even more people.
Mafuyu	Kanade, you don't just want to write music. You want it to save people, right?
Kanade	Yeah. I plan on continuing to write songs that will make people happy.
Kanade	That's the promise I made to my dad.
Mizuki	Putting the talk of CDs aside...
Mizuki	I hope the songs you write reach the people who need them.

Shiho, Shizuku, An & Kanade (1)
Kanade	Okay, this should be where we're supposed to meet... Oh...
Shizuku	You must be the last one. I'm Shizuku Hinomori of YUME YUME JUMP! It's nice to meet you.
Shizuku	And the adorable girl next to me is my younger sister...
Shiho	Hi, I'm Shiho Hinomori. I'm only going to be in YUME YUME JUMP! temporarily, but it's nice to meet you.
An	I'm also a temporary member. The name's An Shiraishi! Nice to meet you!
Kanade	U-Um... Right... My name is Kanade Yoisaki... I was supposed to be the songwriter...
Shizuku	But I already received word from our manager. You decided to go from composing songs to save people to going on stage to singing them yourself, yes?
Kanade	No, that's not what happened... They were so pushy and kept saying, "This is definitely the better option!"
Shiho	Oh, that happened to you too?
An	Same here. For me, it was, "Please, even if it's only temporary!"
Shiho	I really don't think I'm cut out to be an idol... But I thought it'd be a nice opportunity to work as a professional musician.
An	Totally. It's not every day that you get a chance like this, and life's about taking on these kinds of challenges, right?
An	Also, this may be just temporary, but try to relax since we're not gonna make you do anything without practicing it first!
Kanade	O-Okay...
Kanade	(I'm really only here because my manager asked me to join them...)
Kanade	(But they're so bright and upbeat about this... This might be the inspiration I need to compose my next song.)
Shizuku	Hehe. Let's start by doing everything we can in preparation for our release event♪
Shiho & An & Kanade	"Yeah!" "Okay."

Shiho, Shizuku, An & Kanade (2)
An	This is it! Our release event!
Shiho	Yeah. We've put in the work, so we just need to sing like we mean it during the show.
Shizuku	Yes, exactly! I know it wasn't easy getting used to everything, Kanade, but I'm glad you persevered.
Kanade	To be fair, I'm still limited to dancing to just one song... And I was only able to get this far because you were all there to help me along the way.
Kanade	My song... No, I hope our song is able to reach our audience's hearts.
Shizuku	Don't worry. I'm sure it will.
Shizuku	Also, about our group name, YUME YUME JUMP! Has our manager told you why we're called that?
An	Why?
Shizuku	Hehe. It has to do with you and An having such big dreams, Shii, and the archaic definition of "yume yume" in Japanese.
Shiho	"Yume yume"...? Doesn't that mean "to never do anything or something?
Shizuku	Yes. It's normally used in a negative light, but it's actually written by combining the characters from "hard work" and "effort"...
Shizuku	But "yume" also means "dream", so YUME YUME JUMP! symbolizes everyone's expectations of us and how "we're working hard to make our dreams come true".
An	Working hard to make our dreams come true, huh...?
Shizuku	Hehe. I can't honestly see myself being an idol capable of accomplishing incredible feats.
Shizuku	But I believe we'll be able to touch everyone's hearts and become wonderful idols as long as we work together.
Kanade	Yes, I'd like that as well...
Shizuku	Oh, look at the time... Let's go show our audience what we're all about.
An & Shiho & Kanade	"Yeah!"

Kanade, Mafuyu, Ena & Mizuki (1)
Mizuki	Who would've though that we'd all visit a CD shop together like this?
Mizuki	Oh, but wasn't this how Ena and I met you, Mafuyu, when we were out shopping?
Mafuyu	I came here to look for a CD by that artist Kanade was talking about.
Ena	I remember that... Gasp...!
Ena	You recommended that one artist and got me their CD to return a favor! I was really into them then and I still listen to their stuff even now!
Mafuyu	Really?
Mizuki	Hm? Hold on. I don't remember anything like that happening...
Ena	Of course you wouldn't. You were too busy deciding which bonus item to get and made the rest of us wait behind you.
Mafuyu	Yes. That took a very long time.
Mizuki	Oh, right... Yeah, sorry about that.
Kanade	I'd like to hear which artists Mafuyu recommends...
Mafuyu	They had their own section the last time I was here. Should we go see?
Kanade	Yes, please show us.
