Bye, Tsukasa!

See you tomorrow!

See you tomorrow!

...

School's already over...

Under normal circumstances, I'd go straight home and get ready for the party but...

No...!

If Saki and I don't make up, her party won't go well at all either...

And I want things to go smoothly for her sake...! This year's Doll Festival has to be the best she's ever experienced!

But if I were to just go now...

...

What exactly am I forgetting too...?

I've wandered my way out to the gate...

That reminds me, everyone in SEKAI is putting on a Doll Festival party too...

As long as I have nowhere else to go, it may be best for me to help them out at least...

It looks like Emu and the others aren't here yet...

Oh, Tsukasa?

Ah, Miku. I came to help with the party.

Really?! Thanks☆ You're a lifesaver♪

Luka's putting up decorations over there so let's...

You don't look so good, Tsukasa. Are you okay?

N-No, of course I'm okay! I'm full of energy and ready to go like always!

Help Luka, right?

I'll head right over!

Ts-Tsukasa...!

Luka! I'm here to help!

Huh...?

This goes here and... Zzz...

She fell asleep while lining up the dolls...?!

*Yawn*... Huh?

Oh, Tsukasa...

Perfect timing. Could you help me with these dolls?

Uh, of course. I'll get right on it!

Hehe, thank you.

This one goes there...

Right, the three court ladies go on the second row, and the one without the ornament of eternal youth goes in the middle.

Oh, I see. Thank you for that.

Hehehe. You can ask me anything when it comes to the Doll Festival!

You sure do know quite a bit.

Ah, where does this one go?

That one...

And she belongs at the very top...

...

Tsukasa?

Oh, uh... Please, excuse me...

I was just thinking about...

If you don't mind, Tsukasa...

There's something I'd like to ask you...

Ask me?

Sure.

Didn't you mention that your sister, Saki, is having a party today as well?

Are you sure you don't have to be there with her?

I wish I could... But if I do, I'll ruin the mood and she won't be able to enjoy herself...

Oh? Why's that?

We had a fight this morning and...

Oh, so that's what happened...

I was sure that she'd like some new dolls to replace the old ones but...

*Sigh*... I'll only end up making her mad by going home now...

Are you sure about that...?

Huh?

I think it'd be worse if someone you cared about ended up not being there.

But...

In my case, I wouldn't be able to really enjoy a party if Miku and the others weren't there. Even if it were incredibly extravagant...

But when they are there, it's fun to just even sing together♪

Which is why I believe Saki needs you to be there at her party too♪

Luka...

...

But Saki still...

I knew you'd be here...!

Huh? Oh, Nene. What's the matter?

You seem to be in a hurry...

Mochizuki is waiting by the gate.

She says it's urgent, so please go.

Honami? Something urgent...?

Could something have happened to Saki...?!

Sorry, Luka! I know we're not done yet but...!

It's okay. Go♪

Make up with Saki and be there for her♪

Right! And thank you for hearing me out!

I'll see you later!!

*Sigh*... Why does he have to make such a big fuss over everything?

Well, since I'm here, I'll take Tsukasa's place and help you with the...

Zzz...

S-She's asleep...

Ah, Tsukasa...!

H-Honami!!!!

Saki! Is Saki alright?!?!

Wah...! P-Please calm down...!

How can I calm down at a time like this?! You being here means something must've happened to Saki, right?!

Um, yes this is about Saki but...

I knew it!!!! What happened?!?!

Uh, well... Saki still feels really bad about that fight you had with her this morning.

What?! She feels bad...?!

Saki... I thought she was mad at me...!

No, she's not mad anymore. She feels awful about what she said to you earlier.

And she's been worried sick that you won't show up for the party.

She's worried...? And feels bad...?

I... I just wanted her to smile and be happy, but all I've done is...!

No, that can wait!

I have to go now...!

Ts-Tsukasa?! Where are you going?!

Isn't it obvious?! To see Saki!

Let's go, Honami!

Let's find my beloved sister!

Huh...? W-Wait...!

P-Please wait for me!
