Phew... Finally, we're done...

Nice work.

That was much harder than usual.

Yeah. We're aiming to go pro after all!

We might need to start doing even more!

I see. That explains why everyone's been so fired up...

Saki, Ichika, thanks for waiting. I'm done cleaning up over here.

Alright! Then let's get going!

Miku, MEIKO, thank you for today.

See you later.

Hm? They seemed to be in a hurry. Is there something they have to do?

Hehe. They're going out somewhere.

They are? Oh, thank goodness!

Thank goodness? Why?

I was a little worried about them is all. They all seemed a little too wound up, you know?

Practicing is important, but rest and relaxation are just as important. Especially if they actually plan on becoming professionals, no?

Oh, that may be true, but I wouldn't worry too much about the girls when it comes to that.

(They're all trying their best and deserve a little reward for their efforts so far.)

Aha! Found it...!

Everyone! Over here!

The Flufftacular ☆ Petting Zoo!

So much fluffiness♪

Okay, okay. Just calm down a little, will you...?

Look, they have pictures of all the animals we get to see too. Hamsters, rabbits, little birdies... And some dogs and cats too!

C'mon, let's go!

Excuse me! Four high schoolers, please!

Here you are. You'll be able to go in when this group is finished, so if you'll please wait here...

And the back of each ticket contains information about the animals you'll be able to meet and we ask that you decide on a few to see before going in.

Oh, we won't be able to see all of them.

The animals probably need rest too so...

Nice, it even says taking photos is okay as long as it's not flash photography♪

Okay, okay. Just try to keep it down when you're around the animals, alright?

Hehe. I will...

Wh-What is it...?

I'm just happy that you told us about this. I had no idea something like this was going on.

I mean, I just happened to hear about it...

Happened to...?

Hehe. She just happened to...

Wh-Why are you all looking at me like that?

You can't keep pets at home, so you've found an app that lets you do that, right...?

You even mentioned something about wanting to take care of some real ones too.

I did...?

Haha. Yeah!

I kinda want one of the rabbits you've been raising, Shiho.

Oh, that would be nice.

I'd like that too.

Hm? Wait, I remember telling you about it being an animal app, but I don't remember ever telling you that I was keeping rabbits...

Oh, Shizuku told me.

And I heard from Honami.

You have some cats too, right?

Hona told me! Minori too!

She said the look on your face while you were playing with them in the courtyard was priceless!

*Gasp*...!

Minori also told me that your sister's been keeping some rabbits and birds too!

You both really like small animals, huh♪

I can't deny that.

Oh, the line's moving...

It's already our turn next.

Alright! We have to get as much fluff in as possible!

All that fluff♪

I think it has actual healing powers!

You might be right. We took so many pictures too.

Oh, also! Ichi, show Hona and Shiho that thing!

Oh, right! That!

It was this lop rabbit...

Yeah, this one! Doesn't it make the same face as when Hona's savoring a delicious apple pie?!

Oh... Wow... Heh...

Y-You're right...!

What?! D-Do I really make that kind of face?!

Yeah, it's like looking in a mirror.

And this one with the deadpan expression looks just like Shiho...!

Hey, hold on.

If you want a look-alike, see this one...

Oh... Is this...?

It's called an Angora rabbit, and the way its fur's all over the place looks just like Saki with really bad bed head.

Oh, no... Hehe... It's true...

No way?! My hair never gets this bad! Also, you can't even see its face...!

My hair might be all over the place sometimes, but you can always at least be able to see my face! Well, most of the time...

(It's been a while since we hung out like this.)

(And we won't have much time to go out and have fun like this if we really are gonna try to go pro...)

(But you know what? I'm glad we are!)

(Hehe. We're all on the same page. We're aiming for the same goal now.)

Saki, is something wrong?

If you keep spacing out, we're gonna leave you behind.

Aww, Hona... Shiho's being mean to me again!

Hehe. There, there.

(We'll be together a lot more from now on. We'll be chasing after the same dream and I know we can make it come true!)

Ichi, Hona, Shiho!

What?

Let's keep giving it everything we got!
