<How is it, K?

I tried out all of your suggestions and tried to fix up the ending...>

3
Character icon
Kanade

<Right...>

4
Character icon
Kanade

<The video syncs up with the chorus much better now. Let's go with this.>

5
Character icon
Mizuki

<Yay!

Totally worth pulling that all-nighter!>

6
Character icon
Ena

<*Sigh*

I'm just glad we managed to figure everything out...>

7
Character icon
Mizuki

<And thanks for helping me edit everything towards the end there, Enanan!>

8
Character icon
Ena

<Now I feel sleep deprived now because of that... Make sure to get some real sleep in tonight, Amia.>

9
Character icon
Mizuki

<I will.

I'll start by sleeping in until noon!>

10
Character icon
Kanade

<Anyway, this means our song and music video are both done.>

11
Character icon
Mizuki

(We finally get to upload it. The song that made Mafuyu smile...)

12
Character icon
Mizuki

(She and Kanade put so much effort into this song too...)

13
Character icon
Mizuki

<I hope this gets a ton of views!>

14
Character icon
Mafuyu

<Me too...>

15
Character icon
Kanade

<You too, Yuki?>

16
Character icon
Mafuyu

<It's better than nobody seeing it.>

17
Character icon
Kanade

<Right.>

18
Character icon
Mizuki

<Hehe...>

19
Character icon
Kanade

<Okay, I'm uploading it now.>

20
Character icon
Ena

<Hehe. I can't wait to see what people say about it, but I should probably hit the hay now... *Yawn*...>

21
Character icon
Kanade

<Great work, everyone.

This took a lot out of us, so we should all get some well-deserved rest.>

22
Character icon
Mafuyu

<Okay...

Good night.>

23
Character icon
Ena

<Night.

Oh, I think I'll take a bath first...>

24
Character icon
Mizuki

<Night, everyone!>

Mizuki

Mhm...

Man, I slept great...!

26
Character icon
Mizuki

But I still feel really drowsy. I guess I did stay up pretty late last night.

27
Character icon
Mizuki

Oh, it's 10:00...?

I don't have school or work today, so I can go back to... Wait!

28
Character icon
Mizuki

Our new song!

What are people saying about it?

29
Character icon
Mizuki

Huh?! It has this many views already?! In less than half a day...?

Character icon
Comment

<N25's new song's amazing!>

31
Character icon
Comment

<I didn't know they could make music like this.>

32
Character icon
Comment

<I've had a lot on my mind lately, but I feel way better after hearing this song.>

33
Character icon
Mizuki

(Thank goodness...

It's reaching everyone.)

34
Character icon
Mizuki

(The others really put everything they had into this song, so I couldn't be happier.)

35
Character icon
Mizuki

(Especially Kanade... She really is an incredible person...)

36
Character icon
Mizuki

(It all started with Mafuyu saying, “This isn't good enough.” And now, she's found a way to reach not just Mafuyu, but all these other people...)

37
Character icon
Mizuki

(It's not just Kanade either. Mafuyu and Ena are also really amazing people.)

38
Character icon
Mizuki

(They're taking a hard look at themselves and facing their problems despite how uncomfortable that might be.)

39
Character icon
Mizuki

(But look at me...)

40
Character icon
Mizuki

(I haven't changed at all.)

41
Character icon
Mizuki

(I'm still stuck in the same place...)

42
Character icon
Mizuki

Huh? A message? At this time?

43
Character icon
Ena

<You awake? Did you see the view count?>

44
Character icon
Mizuki

Oh, it's Ena...

She's awake already?

45
Character icon
Mizuki

<Yeah, I saw! Isn't it awesome?! It's like double what we usually get!> And send...

46
Character icon
Ena

<Everyone's saying that the video goes really well with the music, so this one might end up becoming our best one yet, you know?>

47
Character icon
Mizuki

<Yeah!

I hope K and Yuki get to enjoy this too!>

48
Character icon
Ena

<This also means we should pick a date to do an after party. When are you gonna be free, Amia?>

49
Character icon
Mizuki

Oh...

50
Character icon
Mizuki

<My work schedule hasn't been decided yet, but I should know sometime this week. I'll let you know when I find out.>

51
Character icon
Ena

<Okay.

I'll ask K and Yuki in the meantime.>

52
Character icon
Mizuki

(An after party...)

53
Character icon
Mizuki

(I want to go, but...)

54
Character icon
Ena

<You're coming, right?>

55
Character icon
Ena

<These things aren't as fun when you're not there.>

56
Character icon
Mizuki

Ena...

57
Character icon
Mizuki

<Yeah, I'll be there.>

58
Character icon
Mizuki

<Poor, lonely Ena♪>

59
Character icon
Mizuki

Haha...

Yup, she's mad.

60
Character icon
Mizuki

But Ena really is a good person...

I mean, she's willing to put up with me like this.

61
Character icon
Mizuki

(I know that I haven't made any progress up until now...)

62
Character icon
Mizuki

(But I hope that I'll become closer with them, someday...)
