I hope Miku's here...
Huh? Ichika...?
Oh, Miku, thank goodness! There you are...
Is everything okay?
Practice isn't supposed to start until much later, right?
That's right...
But I wanted to talk with you before that.
With me?
Yes. So, we started preparing for that show we talked about the other day...
Which gave me a chance to think.
Singing and music have allowed me to meet and connect with all these different people...
But more than anything else...
Miku, you connected me with so many people...
Not only that, you helped reunite me with my best friends.
So, I really need to thank you...
Ichika...
Wait, I think I've said something similar before...
Hehe. Yes, you have.
Your songs have such incredible powers...
Not only did they help bring my old friends back together, they're helping me make new ones as well.
I've been able to meet so many new faces, thanks to you.
I could see your sincerity when you said that.
But...
Neither I nor the Miku of your world deserve all the credit, Ichika.
You did all the hard work.
You took your feelings seriously.
Miku...
And I think you're an incredible person, Ichika.
Because you've also brought so many people together.
I have...?
Yes. You did everything you could to bring Leo/need back together, didn't you?
But I don't deserve all the credit.
Saki was really vocal about...
Then, what about that brother and sister who ended up becoming separated?
What...?
You did your absolute best to write lyrics for them, and you succeeded in bringing them back together...
Which is why I believe you have the power to bring people together.
Like the person you admire so much. The Miku from your world.
Like her...?
I...
I did, huh...?
I brought them together... Like you...
Yes...
And you're capable of even more.
As you keep playing music that moves the hearts of more and more people. As you convey how you really feel...
You'll sing songs that can bring more and more people together.
At least, that's what I believe.
Okay. Thank you, Miku...
I'll keep doing my best.
I'll treasure what you've taught me and keep bringing more people together through music.
Good. And I'll keep supporting you as best I can, Ichika...
Oh, Miku-P, there you are!
Rin? Is something the matter?
We're cleaning up that classroom over there and were hoping that you'd lend us a quick hand!
Oh, then, should I join as well?
But you have practice soon.
You should be focusing your energy on your show.
So, I'll see you later.
I'm looking forward to seeing your show.
Bye bye, Ichi!
Good luck with practice and stuff!
(Me doing what Miku does...)
(I've never thought of it that way since I've always been looking up to her. We seemed worlds apart in that sense...)
(This show is our chance to thank everyone for giving us so much support...)
(But... I believe Miku deserves a special thanks.)
(How do I do that? Something that she'd really enjoy would be best...)
This song is going to let me sing with all of you in your world.
Miku...
Obviously, I'm not the same Miku that's in your world...
However, while listening to this song, I got the feeling that it connects me to all of you girls.
Oh...
Oh, Ichi, you're already here!
You must be raring to go!
Saki, all of you...
Um, so... I have a suggestion regarding our next show.
A suggestion?
Yeah. I don't know if it's actually possible, but I'd like to give it a try...
Oh, give what a try? Tell us more!
Okay, so...
