Mic check's done!

We should be all good.

We're all set here too!

(The show's about to start...)

(There's a nice buzz in the air too.

You can always feel the anticipation building during moments like these.)

You think they're here already?

They should as long as they didn't get lost somewhere along the way.

Oh, I see them...!

There! Towards the middle!

Yeah, there's Haruka! Everyone else too!

I'm glad they all managed to find this place!

There's Minori and Kohane... Shiraishi too. I guess they all came together.

Oh...

I can't believe we're really at the live house where Shii and her friends perform! I'm so glad we made it in time too!

Same...

Looks like leaving early just in case was a good idea.

Shizuku's here too along with everybody else.

Hehe. If that's the case, we should be able to give them a good performance.

We were able to reach our ticket quota because we all worked together, which was a huge relief...

Yeah...

Thanks for helping out with that Ichika, Saki.

You don't have to thank us!

We're going pro together, right? This is the least we could do!

Selling tickets on top of writing our own songs... We have a lot on our plate, but that's all the more reason for us to work together.

Exactly...!

Agreed...

Let's show everyone just how much we appreciate them by giving them a good performance today.

Yeah!

Leo/need, get ready to take the stage!

This is it...

Let's go!

Hey, I think it's about to start!

Wow...!

I finally get to see Shiho's band perform live!

I'm really glad for you.

It's sort of been a shame that you couldn't see them sooner because of our streams.

Look, they're taking the stage...!

Hello, everyone. We're Leo/need!

I'm sure a lot of you here today will be hearing us for the first time, but we hope to give you the best performance we can!

We hope you enjoy it!

♪————!

Whoa...!

They're amazing...!

This is awesome!

There's really nothing like a live concert!

(Alright, we're in good shape.

The crowd's getting into it more than usual. And...)

——♪ ————♪

(We're playing like we really mean it today. This might be the most fun I've seen them have so far...)

(Alright, let's throw in one of these...!)

Wooow...!

Did you see what Shiho just did?! That was so cool!

It was.

And I can feel their music resonating throughout my body...!

(This is way too much fun...)

(More. I want to play some more.)

(On top of having an audience to play for, we're all chasing after the same dream...)

♪————!

(My old self might not even recognize me right now...)

(Back then, I was...)

(I couldn't see myself playing in another band, let alone with these three...)

(But now...)

(I couldn't be happier...)

Huff... Huff...

Hey...!

Is it just me or did we sound a little different today...?

N-No, I felt that too...!

It's like we really gave it everything we had...

I know exactly what you mean, Ichi, Hona!

We played sooo unbelievably well!!

We really did. Our individual sounds melded together for each song... It was an incredible feeling.

Oh, can we keep playing?!

Pretty please!

(They all felt the same thing...)

I'm glad...

Hey, the next band needs to get set up! Mind moving your instruments for us?

S-Sorry!

We'll do that right now.

Okay, once we've put everything away, we'll join the crowd and see what we can learn from the other bands.

Hm...?

Huh...?

Hm? Shiho?

Wait! Where are you going?

Where'd she go...?

Did I imagine that...?

Shiho!

Why'd you run off like that? Is everything okay?

Did you see someone you know?

Y-Yeah, I thought I did...

But I might've just gotten their faces mixed up.

(Reminiscing about what happened back then might've made me see what I wanted to see.)

Sorry about that.

We should get back before the next band gets started.

O-Okay...
