That was way too much fun!

I know it's supposed to be the amateur division, but everyone was so good! Li'l Bro and Toya were amazing too!

Yeah, this is my first time seeing him perform, but I guess he did okay...

I had fun too.

Music feels so much more powerful when you get to hear it live...

It was so loud. My ears have been ringing for a while now...

Whoa, are you okay?!

I think so. I'm sure it'll get better if I just wait.

You sure? Just make sure to take it easy when you get home, okay?

Okay...

Thank you for coming today, everyone. I never would've come to something like this alone and I think I learned a lot from it.

Great! I had a lot of fun too! I'm glad we could go out together like this!

So what do you wanna do after this? I kinda want to check out the rest of the festival.

I'd like that too.

I think I'll go home.

I should write down the ideas that this event gave me before I forget.

I'm going home too. My mom might start worrying if I don't soon.

Sounds good...

I was hoping to hang out a little more, but that's okay. See you on Nightcord!

Bye, you two.

Is there somewhere in particular you want to go, Mizuki?

Hmm... Cotton candy sounds really good right now. I saw these really pink ones earlier!

Hey...

Oh, hey. That was a good concert. Your performance had the crowd going nuts back there.

Yeah, and thanks for earlier.

You're welcome. I'm glad they helped.

You guys...!

Huh? That voice...

You're here. I'm glad I found you!

Airi?!

Oh, Mizuki, I didn't know you came too.

Wait, Shizuku, you too?!

I didn't know you were both here. Did you skip practice today?

No, we had practice like normal.

But we ran into Akito and his friend, so we decided to stick around and see him perform!

Yes, they both did so well.

It was a wonderful performance.

Thank you very much.

Ew, creep...

Shut it.

Hehe. You two really never change, huh?

Hey, since we're all here, wanna check out the rest of the festival together?

Sure, but what about the rest of you guys...?

I'd like to as well. It'd be nice to go as a group.

We were planning to take a look at some stalls with another friend of ours, but we can go if it's just for a little while...

Huh?

Hey, Toya, what are you dragging me into?

They went out of their way to invite us. It'd be rude for us to decline.

How about you, Mizuki?

I'm in too.

Then off we go.

You too, Akito.

H-Hey...!

Man, I'm getting pretty hungry.

I should probably get something to eat.

Oh, Mizuki, they're selling honeycomb toffees over there. They look very appetizing.

They do look good, but I was thinking about getting some real food, you know...?

Yeah, I'd like to get something to eat too. Yakisoba or kushiyaki would be perfect!

Len, you're clear to come out now. What do you wanna get Rin and the others?

<Okay!

Oh, how about those caramel apples?>

Sure, let's go get some.

Is there anything you'd personally like, Len?

Huh? How did we end up next to each other...?

Don't ask me. I'd rather be talking to Airi and everyone else!

But if we walk all spread out, we'd just end up being a huge roadblock. That's how I ended up next to you!

Okay, geez, I get it...

And did you remember to talk to the committee people about what happened to your shoes?

Yeah. I never thought that they'd mistake it for their equipment. I mean, they could've at least checked what was inside first.

Apparently, they mistook it for a box of extension cords. At least they found their way back to you.

Right.

That reminds me...

Didn't you bring me my shoes the last time we were here?

So you still remember...

I thought you'd long since forgotten about that.

Of course I remember.

How can I forget about what happened with my sandals that time?

And I'll never forget about how I had to treat you like a princess.

Hey, that's not fair! I thanked you afterward, didn't I?

Did you?

Oh, but you conveniently forgot that part? I still remember how I put on my sneakers and went to see the concert with you.

Yeah...

To think that I'd end up performing on the same stage years later...

You'd just quit playing soccer too. It was like you thought the world just ended.

Can you at least forget that part?

I'm over that and doing this now.

True.

But it is cool how you've stuck with singing.

Well...

You were the reason I started singing...

What? Did you say something? I couldn't really hear you over all these people...

No, it's nothing.

You guys!

After we eat, wanna try our hand at some ring tossing?

Yeah, we can split into teams since there's so many of us!

Nah, I'm good. I've gotta go soon.

That includes you too, Toya...

I see some interesting prizes at the ring toss stall. Just one try, Akito?

Huh?

Toya, did you forget about what we discussed with Len...?

Of course I didn't. We're going to find the best prize and try to get it for him.

No, not that!

With Ena and Akito, we'd have even teams of three.

Alright, we can have a battle of the Shinonomes with Team Ena and Team Li'l Bro!

Hey, Akiyama, what are you doing...?!

Chill, it'll be fun♪

Let's make the most of it since we're all here!

Yeah, we never do anything like this. How about the loser has to buy pancakes for the winner?

What? I said I'm not playing.

Oh, does that mean you think you're gonna lose?

No, it doesn't.

Then let's go.

We're keeping everyone waiting.

Okay, fine, whatever...

(I guess she did save me back there. Maybe I owe her this much...)
