Kanade

<Okay. It's ready to upload...>

2
Character icon
Mizuki

<Nice!! We're done!!>

3
Character icon
Mafuyu

<This one took quite a while.>

4
Character icon
Ena

<Both the song and music video needed some fine tuning, but I thought they turned out well, right?>

5
Character icon
Mizuki

<Yup! This might even be my best work yet♪>

6
Character icon
Ena

<Yeah, considering how much time and attention you gave it.>

7
Character icon
Ena

<And about our next song. You know how we talked about some rough themes last time?>

8
Character icon
Ena

<I came up with a few sketches based on those. Mind taking a look?>

9
Character icon
Mizuki

<Huh? When did you make these? I thought you were busy editing your illustrations.>

10
Character icon
Ena

<While the video was in the final editing phase. Some ideas came into my head so...>

11
Character icon
Mizuki

<Hehe. Looks like someone's getting excited! Plus, you'll get a better picture after you hear more of the next song.>

12
Character icon
Kanade

<Sorry, about that...

I'm still working through a few ideas, so I'd like a little more time.>

13
Character icon
Mizuki

<Whoa, even K can get stuck?>

14
Character icon
Ena

<But there's still a bunch of time until our deadline, so you don't need to rush.>

15
Character icon
Kanade

<Right...>

16
Character icon
Mafuyu

<...>

17
Character icon
Ena

<And... There, I've sent you my sketches...>

18
Character icon
Mizuki

<Wow, you made a bunch...!

Aww, the third one's so cute!>

19
Character icon
Mizuki

<Right, Yuki?>

20
Character icon
Mafuyu

<...

I like the very last one.>

21
Character icon
Ena

<Hehe. You have a good eye. I used one of the first pieces that this artist I like made as a reference...>

22
Character icon
Mafuyu

<I'm not interested in that.>

23
Character icon
Ena

<Y-You...! I was just trying to explain how...!>

24
Character icon
Mizuki

(Hehe.

Another fun-filled day♪)

25
Character icon
Mizuki

(I wouldn't have it any other way.)

26
Character icon
Mizuki

<Okay, good night!>

27
Character icon
Mizuki

Mhm...!

Everything's all wrapped up, so it's time for a good night's sleep♪

28
Character icon
Mizuki

(But when Ena ran off to SEKAI that other time, I really didn't know what would happen...)

29
Character icon
Mizuki

(It looks like she's having a lot more fun now, so I'm happy for her.)

30
Character icon
Mizuki

(And finding out that her dad's some famous artist was a pretty big shock...)

31
Character icon
Mizuki

...

32
Character icon
Mizuki

(We've all been working together for a while now, but we still don't know anything about each other.)

33
Character icon
Mizuki

(Maybe if we did, Ena could've talked to us about it before it sort of spun out of control...)

34
Character icon
Mizuki

(But we really only talk while we're all working or meeting about how things are going...)

35
Character icon
Mizuki

(Oh, wait...)

36
Character icon
Mizuki

(What if we went on another little excursion like that time we all went to that Doll Exhibit?)

37
Character icon
Mizuki

(Mafuyu kind of had it rough that time, but we got to know a little more about her in return.)

38
Character icon
Mizuki

(Maybe we can learn more about each other by going somewhere we usually don't...!)

39
Character icon
Mizuki

(But where...?)

40
Character icon
Mizuki

(It's spring, so everyone goes to see cherry blossoms and stuff...)

41
Character icon
Mizuki

Nah, scratch cherry blossoms...

42
Character icon
Mizuki

It's gotta be more fun than... That's it!

43
Character icon
Mizuki

This class is doing a haunted house!

The decorations are really good!

44
Character icon
Mizuki

(I bet it would give Ena the creeps. Mafuyu doesn't seem the type to get spooked by this sort of stuff though.)

45
Character icon
Mizuki

(As for Kanade, I wonder... I kind of want to see what she's like when something startles her...)

46
Character icon
Mizuki

What about a haunted house or something?!

47
Character icon
Mizuki

I just found that site with a list of haunted places and sort of been wanting to check them out...!

48
Character icon
Mizuki

Like that really creepy tunnel or that spooky shrine...!

49
Character icon
Mizuki

Oh, but...

50
Character icon
Mizuki

There's no way they'll say yes to just going around and seeing stuff like this.

51
Character icon
Mizuki

I need a way to goad them into going...

The next day
52
Character icon
Mizuki

I'm home...

53
Character icon
Mizuki

So many customers today...

I guess they all wanna get new clothes since it's finally starting to warm up again.

54
Character icon
Mizuki

Now, let's get to work!

A demo for the next song should be up by now... Hm?

55
Character icon
Mizuki

From Kanade?

56
Character icon
Kanade's Message

<I'd like to meet in SEKAI today.>

57
Character icon
Mizuki

Pretty rare of Kanade to ask us to go to SEKAI.

58
Character icon
Mizuki

Did something happen...?

59
Character icon
Mizuki

<Okay, heading over now.>

60
Character icon
Mizuki

I should hurry!

Empty SEKAI
61
Character icon
Mizuki

Hey, Mafuyu, Ena!

You beat me here!

62
Character icon
Mafuyu

She sent me a message...

63
Character icon
Ena

But where's the sender... Oh, there she is!

64
Character icon
Kanade

...

65
Character icon
Mizuki

Kanade!

66
Character icon
Kanade

Hello...

67
Character icon
Mizuki

It's not like you to ask us to meet here. Is something wrong?

68
Character icon
Kanade

I'm sorry...

69
Character icon
Mizuki

(Kanade, apologizing...?

What happened?)

70
Character icon
Mizuki

It's okay, Kanade.

I'm not sure what's going on, but I'm on your side, okay?

71
Character icon
Mizuki

Can you tell us what happened?

72
Character icon
Kanade

Well...

73
Character icon
Kanade

I haven't been able to finish the demo version...

74
Character icon
Mizuki

What...?
