Good morning.

Morning, Honami!

Oh, your band's playing this weekend, right?

Yes. Do you think you'll be able to get to the live house okay?

We're all set! Our tickets even have maps drawn on the back!

Speaking of which, have you already invited Otori?

Yes, I did...

Unfortunately, she said she's going to be busy with her own shows that day.

That's too bad.

I was holding out hoping that she'd be able to come with us...

(Saki was really hoping Tsukasa would be able to make it too.)

But we'll be in more shows moving forward, so you should have plenty of other chances in the future.

That's true too.

In any case, I can't wait to see this one!

Thank you!

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!

(Thank goodness. Looks like they managed to get here in time.)

Oh...

Wow... There's way more people here than I was expecting.

Where do you think we should stand?

Do think it's better to be off to the sides?

N-No way. We wouldn't be able to see Honami at all from there. Let's try moving more towards the middle.

(I'm glad they're both here.)

(I understand that they're not used to coming to a place like this...)

(Which is why I want to give them the best performance I can.)

Oh...

Shizuku's here too along with everybody else.

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

♪————!

(Stay in rhythm, and make each note count!)

(Wait, what's going on...?

Why is it so easy to play today?!)

(Are we all feeling the same thing?)

Honami!

You're kicking butt, Hinomori!

Woohoo!

Good morning.

Hi, Honami!

Your show was completely off the hook!

Totally! I shouted so much that my voice was gone by the end of it!

Hehe. I'm glad you both enjoyed it so much.

We actually wanted to tell you this sooner. Our original plan was to wait for you guys by the exit with Hanasato and the others...

You don't need to apologize. I really appreciate that you came to see us at all considering you also had cram school that day.

But thanks for inviting us!

Seeing a show in person was just something else! It's like you could feel the music rushing through your body, you know?

Yeah, that was such an incredible feeling!

And you looked so cool on stage, Honami!

Definitely! Oh, before we forget...

Honami...

Yes?

I was hoping to tell Hinomori and the rest of your band about the show... Do you think that'll be possible?

Yeah, I'd like to as well.

...!

Thank you two so much!

I'm sure they'll love to hear what you think!

Oh, why don't I go with you?

You will?

Yes, of course.

You're a lifesaver! That'll make things so much easier!

(This might be a good chance for them to get to know Shiho and the others better too.)

(Especially since they're all my dear friends...)
