<I need to log off soon...

I should be able to upload my lyrics by tomorrow.>

Character icon
Kanade

<Oh, okay. Understood...

Good night.>

3
Character icon
Mizuki

<Night!>

4
Character icon
Mafuyu

<Okay. Good night...>

5
Character icon
Ena

<Yuki really hasn't been able to stay on for very long lately, huh? Until just recently, she'd sometimes work pretty late into the night.>

6
Character icon
Mizuki

<Yeah...

To be fair, she's busy studying for her entrance exams on top of everything that happened the other day with her practice exam.>

7
Character icon
Ena

<True...

Now that you mention it, writing songs while studying as much as she does sounds way too hard.>

8
Character icon
Mizuki

<I know, right?!

If I were in her shoes, my brain would probably stop working because there's way too much to juggle.>

9
Character icon
Mizuki

<But I'm also really glad that she wants to keep joining us to work despite all the studying she has to do...>

10
Character icon
Mizuki

<So, we should do our best to work just as hard!>

11
Character icon
Kanade & Ena

<Okay...>

<Yeah!>

12
Character icon
Mizuki

<K, is something wrong?

You seem really tired today.>

13
Character icon
Ena

<Are you having some trouble writing that song?>

14
Character icon
Kanade

<No, it isn't that...>

15
Character icon
Kanade

<When I went to go visit my dad in the hospital today...>

A few hours earlier
Miyamasuzaka
16
Character icon
Kanade

Huff... Huff...

It's so hot...

17
Character icon
Kanade

I brought more spare clothes than usual today, and it's taking just that much more of a toll on me...

18
Character icon
Kanade

(Uh oh... My head's starting to spin a bit...)

19
Character icon
Kanade

(I...

I should find somewhere to rest...)

20
Character icon
???

Are you okay?!

21
Character icon
Kanade

Huh...?

22
Character icon
Kanade

You're...

23
Character icon
Minori

I-I'm sorry about asking you out of the blue like this, but I'm only here to help! Honest!

24
Character icon
Minori

Um... You seem really fatigued and I was worried that maybe you weren't feeling well...

25
Character icon
Minori

So, if there's anything I can do for you, please feel free to... Huh?

26
Character icon
Minori

Wait... Kanade?!

27
Character icon
Kanade

Huh? Um...

28
Character icon
Minori

Wow! Kanade, it's really you!

How long's it been?! New Year's?!

29
Character icon
Kanade

N-New Year's...?

30
Character icon
Kanade

(Wait, I've met her before somewhere...)

31
Character icon
Minori

You went with your group for a shrine visit, remember? I was helping out as a shrine maiden at that time!

32
Character icon
Kanade

A shrine maiden...?

33
Character icon
Minori

Oh, I also need to thank you for what you said during the Fan Festival... It made me so happy!

34
Character icon
Kanade

What I said...?

35
Character icon
Minori

Yes! You said that I was really bright...

36
Character icon
Kanade

Oh...

37
Character icon
Minori

————♪ ——♪

38
Character icon
Kanade

I remember...

The one singing that time was...

39
Character icon
Minori

Yes, it was me! Minori Hanasato!

40
Character icon
Kanade

Hanasato...

Right, it's been a while.

41
Character icon
Minori

Yes, it has! And I'm really happy to see you again!

42
Character icon
Minori

Oh no...!

I'm making you talk so much even though you're probably not feeling well!

43
Character icon
Minori

Um... Are you feeling okay?

44
Character icon
Kanade

Um, well...

Not exactly...

45
Character icon
Kanade

But I'm just going over to visit my dad at the hospital, so I should be fine after I rest for a little bit.

46
Character icon
Minori

At the hospital...?

47
Character icon
Minori

In that case, I can carry your stuff for you on your way over!

48
Character icon
Kanade

What?

49
Character icon
Kanade

But it's so heavy...

I can't make you carry...

50
Character icon
Minori

I was just jogging to get ready for our next show, so it's totally fine!

51
Character icon
Minori

Carrying something heavy will be good training for me too! Please, let me help!

52
Character icon
Kanade

O-Oh, I see...

53
Character icon
Kanade

(I sort of feel bad about having her help me like this, but I'm not sure I'll make it to the hospital if I don't...)

54
Character icon
Kanade

(I should accept her kind offer...)

55
Character icon
Kanade

Okay, I really appreciate the help.

And I'm sorry for making you do this.

56
Character icon
Minori

No, it's okay!

I'm really glad that I can help!

57
Character icon
Minori

So, I'll take those and...

Alright, all set!

58
Character icon
Minori

Um... Which way to the hospital?

59
Character icon
Kanade

Oh, um... This way.

Outside the hospital
60
Character icon
Minori

Phew... We made it.

Oh, do you need me to carry these inside?

61
Character icon
Kanade

No, the nurses can take care of things from here. Thank you very much. I really don't know what to say...

62
Character icon
Kanade

And I can't believe how easy it was for you to carry something so heavy, Hanasato...

63
Character icon
Minori

Huh? It didn't feel that heavy to me...

Maybe all the training I've been doing for our show's finally starting to pay off!

64
Character icon
Minori

Alright, I'm gonna keep doing my best and keep trying more and more and more!

65
Character icon
Minori

So, if you'll excuse me!

See you later, Kanade!

66
Character icon
Kanade

Oh, um... See you...

67
Character icon
Kanade

(Thank goodness Hanasato was there to lend me a hand. There's no way I would've been able to carry everything over on my own...)

68
Character icon
Kanade

Training...

69
Character icon
Kanade

(I caused someone else a lot of trouble, so maybe I should start working out a little to build my stamina...)

70
Character icon
Kanade

<...is what happened.>

71
Character icon
Mizuki

<Oh, so that's what was bothering you.>

72
Character icon
Mizuki

<But you really do have less stamina than most people, K. Wait, didn't you say just the other day that your body felt really heavy?>

73
Character icon
Kanade

<Yes, that feeling usually went away after I slept, but my shoulders have been feeling so heavy this time around...>

74
Character icon
Ena

<Isn't that because you don't get enough exercise? I mean, your shoulders can get stiff just from sitting at a desk all day.>

75
Character icon
Mizuki

<Yeah! You might be able to manage for now, but what if it starts keeping you from working on songs?>

76
Character icon
Kanade

<Oh, that'd be bad...

What do you think I should do...?>

77
Character icon
Mizuki

<Well, getting yourself to exercise on a regular basis is probably the best solution. Why not take this opportunity to start going outside for walks or jogs?>

78
Character icon
Kanade

<Exercise...>

79
Character icon
Mizuki

<That's right.

Once you get in the habit of moving your body around, your stamina should naturally improve.>

80
Character icon
Mizuki

<And if jogging like Minori turns out to be too much, you can always just go out for walks instead!>

81
Character icon
Ena

<That still sounds like a lot for K. On top of everything, it's been really hot out lately.>

82
Character icon
Kanade

<Oh...>

83
Character icon
Mizuki

<I mean, you don't have to push yourself that hard, and you have tons of other options in terms of getting in a good workout.>

84
Character icon
Kanade

<Maybe I should give it a try...>

85
Character icon
Ena

<Wait, K, are you sure?!>

86
Character icon
Kanade

<Yes. I have to avoid not being able to work on music at all costs and I don't want to be a bother to anyone else.>

87
Character icon
Mizuki

<Right...

Okay, that's good enough for me. What do you say, Enanan?>

88
Character icon
Ena

<I'm still a bit startled, but alright...

You have my support. Good luck, K.>

89
Character icon
Kanade

<Thank you, Enanan.

I don't know how things are going to go, but I'll give it a try...>

90
Character icon
Ena

<Great! But don't push yourself too hard, okay? It's totally okay to take breaks and let us know if you need anything!>

91
Character icon
Kanade

<You don't have to worry so...

No, I can't guarantee that I'll be okay...>

92
Character icon
Mizuki

<I know! What if Enanan joined you, K?>

93
Character icon
Ena

<Huh? Why me?>

94
Character icon
Mizuki

<Didn't you say that you might've put on some extra weight recently? You could probably shed some of that off if you exercise together, you know?>

95
Character icon
Ena

<What? It's just a bit of bloating!

If that's how it's gonna be, then you should exercise with us, Amia!>

96
Character icon
Mizuki

<I have shifts scheduled on my days off, and I already exercise plenty as it is.>

97
Character icon
Ena

<Grr...!

You think you're so great because you exercise regularly...>

98
Character icon
Ena

<But it might actually be worth a try. Also, I kinda don't feel great about having K exercise all by herself...>

99
Character icon
Ena

<And this doesn't count as me going on a diet...!>

100
Character icon
Kanade

<Thank you, Enanan...

I really appreciate it. I honestly wasn't sure how I'd fare on my own.>

101
Character icon
Ena

<I mean, it's for my own benefit too.

Anyway, let's meet at the park this weekend.>

102
Character icon
Kanade

<Okay, sounds good.>

103
Character icon
Kanade

<And thank you for suggesting this, Amia.>

104
Character icon
Mizuki

<No problem!

I hope you two break a good sweat!>

105
Character icon
???

<Hehe...

I came to see how they were doing since I was getting a bit bored...>

106
Character icon
Luka

<But I have a feeling this is going to be very fun.>
