Here's to another job well done.

Cheers.

Cheers!

Cheers...

I'm glad this song's also getting a good response!

Same. We've been on fire lately, huh?

It's nice to see that our song's reaching so many people.

Yes, it is...

You don't seem to mean that at all...

Haha. Anyway, let's all have some of these fries before they get cold...

Alright, see you later tonight.

See you.

I may run a little late...

Oh, do you need to wait for your mom to go sleep again...?

Yes, probably.

Okay.

But you don't have to work if you don't think you can.

I'm with her.

You have to go to cram school and do your homework after that, right?

I'll manage...

So, bye.

She'll manage?

If she's okay with that, I guess...

I suppose.

Anyway, I'm this way.

Get home safe, okay?

Well, we've got some time on our hands, so wanna do some shopping?

Sure.

Oh, wanna check out that sportswear shop?

Hm? A sportswear shop?

Are you getting something for your workouts?

No, I saw some cute sneakers in the window, so I wanna take a look.

Oh.

Now that you mention it, have you and Kanade been exercising since that time?

Um...

Y-Yeah, a little.

Hey, where are you looking?

I'm over here.

I had a feeling that you guys haven't been exercising...

B-But my muscles got so sore that time! You have no idea how awful it is!

Because you don't exercise, right?

Although, I guess I'm one to talk...

So, I'll join you for your next workout.

You're gonna exercise with us?

Yeah, since our song's uploaded and the rough draft for our next one's already done. We're pretty much all set, no?

Also, I'm guessing you're not sore anymore, so am I right in saying that you're ready for another workout?

Yeah...

So, Ena, what do you say?

I'm sure Kanade would be more than willing to join you if she knows that you're working out.

Hmm... I don't mind you exercising with us, but there's no guarantee that Kanade's gonna want to join.

Nonsense.

She seemed really glad that you were there with her the last time you two exercised together.

R-Really?

Really. Going it alone isn't easy, so it's definitely nice to have someone there to support you.

Yeah, true.

(Mizuki's right...

I want to help out in some way other than by drawing.)

(Still, this is so strange.)

(I discovered Kanade's song and felt compelled to draw an illustration for it. Then, Mizuki made that music video, and Kanade and Mafuyu found it...)

(Now, we're making music together.)

Stranger than fiction, huh...?

Hm? What is?

Nothing.

Anyway, let's keep shopping.

Yeah, sure. Oh, did you hear about that shop by the station? It's supposed to be this one brand's first branch to open in Japan.

Yeah, I know what you're talking about! I tried to go last week but I decided against it because it was raining out.

Hmm... Sounds like someone was feeling lazy that day.

Haha.
