That student council business took up more time than I was expecting...
We're supposed to have our after party with Miku and the others today too.
I'm sure they're waiting on the rooftop already. I should hurry over and...
Hm...?
...
What are you doing here, Saki?
Huh...?! Oh, Ichi, it's you!
A-Also, I should be asking you the same thing.
I heard that you're gonna be running a little late because of student council stuff, but not this late.
Sorry, I had a feeling that you'd all be waiting for me. I should've let you all know sooner.
No, Ichi, we're not blaming you...!
It's just...
A-Anyway, let's head up to the rooftop!
We've got a fun and spectacular after party to attend♪
O-Okay...
(Saki's acting kind of strange...)
(Oh, what if...?)
But remember what Saku said?
“A band's number one goal is to have your music heard by as many people as possible.”
Something that feels a lot more important comes to mind.
I think getting to play music with all of you matters more to me...
Which is why I'm kinda worried about how I feel right now...
I started doubting my commitment when it comes to going pro, and it scared me a little...
(Are those thoughts still lingering in her mind...?)
(Unfortunately, she has to find the answer to those questions herself...)
That reminds me, Saki.
There's something I wanted to tell you after the show, but I didn't get a chance because of how crazy things were.
Oh, what do you wanna tell me?
From start to finish, you put on a really amazing performance.
You really let your feelings of excitement flow while you played...
Which is why I believe you ended up enjoying our solo show the most.
The way you played made me want to do the same thing with my guitar and while I sang. And it felt so good.
So, Saki, thank you.
Ichi...
Oh, stop! You're making me blush...
I was able to have as much fun as I did because we were all playing together.
Also, the crowd played a huge role by waving their hands for us!
Yeah, they really got into it and responded so well to all our shout-outs. Actually, it was probably the best response we've ever received.
Definitely♪ I don't think we've ever been more one with the crowd!
I hope we get to do another show like that.
We've done it once now, so I'm sure we'll be able to do it again.
Next time, we might get to play at a venue with an even bigger capacity.
Whoa! That'd be so awesome!
It'd be like playing in front of a sea of people! Right?
Hehe. Yeah.
(Thank goodness she's feeling better...)
Ichika? Saki? Where are you two?
Oh...
Huh? Their voices came from this way, right?
I thought so too...
But the others are already up on the rooftop!
Oh no! I totally forgot! The others are waiting for us!
We need to hurry!
Let's go, Saki!
Yeah!
