Stop...!
Ichika, you messed up the same part again. One more time.
Oh, sorry! Let me try again!
And you were a little off too, Saki. Listen to where everyone else is.
Okay. Got it!
Honami, you need to drum like you mean it a little more. Otherwise, we won't be able to hold it together.
Right...!
Okay, once more.
Honami, count us in...
Their sound is getting more and more powerful.
You're right. You can tell how serious they are about this just by looking at them too.
They're just gonna keep getting better and better from here...
Going pro won't be easy for them, but I'm sure they'll find a way to succeed!
Pros, huh...?
Alright! That means we'll need to give them the best support possible too...!
Hehe. I agree.
Indeed.
Huh? Why are you two looking at me like that?
Oh, nothing.
Compared to before, you seem completely different now.
Before...?
I'm not sure I can say since I'm not a professional myself...
But maybe it has something to do with constantly trying to understand what your music is about...?
Wait, there has to be more to it than that! What about having to push the other things you want to do to the side and stuff...?
That I can't say...
Not even Miku can answer this one.
Of course. I've never thought about going pro or how to do it.
I have to think that you had more to say then, right?
Wh-What could you possibly be talking about...?
Oh? You seemed so anxious after that too...
Oh...
...
*Sigh*
Yes, MEIKO, you're right.
I kept wondering if there's anything else I can do for them.
I knew it! But it didn't seem like you regretted saying that or anything...
I was wondering about what I should say if I were asked the same thing again...
Oh, I see. That's why you've been trying to find somewhere to be alone. You were practicing your little speech.
Huh?! Y-You knew about that too?!
Sorry, we happened to see you in the middle of your rehearsal when we went looking for you the other day...
O-Okay...
I'm sorry that you weren't able to put it to use...
No, that's okay.
Actually, it's better that Ichika and the others were able to come up with an answer on their own.
True.
I'm so proud of them.
Hehe. I agree.
But things may get pretty rough from here on out...
They'll probably have to overcome quite a few obstacles in order to make their dream come true.
But I'm sure they'll be able to.
That's why we need to keep supporting them as much as possible!
Yeah! Of course!
