Oh, Ichika? Aren't you a little early for practice?

Well, yes I am, but... I actually have something I wanted to talk to you about. Do you have some time?

Of course. So, what did you want to talk about?

Actually, in my world, there's going to be a Virtual Singer Appreciation Festival happening soon.

Sometimes people call it Fan Festa, but...

It's an event where fans of you and the others come to express their gratitude and sing your songs with all their heart.

I don't know how to say this...

But since I can talk with you face to face, I thought it would be better to tell you my feelings directly.

Is that why you came so early?

Yes. Oh...

Before I arrived, I thought about all of the things I wanted to tell you, but...

As soon as I saw your face, all of the things I wanted to tell you started to pile up and... Well...

Ichi! I knew you came early!

Oh, you girls...

Hey, hey! Since we're all a little early for practice, how about we play one song?

Saki was practicing with Luka until just now, and it seemed like she was doing super well.

And then to make sure she doesn't lose that flow, she wanted to run through it again together as if it were the actual live performance.

Oh, okay. Which song should we do?

Let's do needLe!

Oh!

Miku, can what I was talking about earlier wait until after we play? I think after singing that song, I'll be able to gather the words!

Hehe. Of course.

Thank you!

Did we interrupt your conversation?

No, of course not. Even Ichika doesn't think so.

Really? In that case, I'm glad.

Ichi. I know it was sudden, but thank you!

It's alright. Well then, let's-

Oh, look! SEKAI seemed to have gotten livelier!

You're right. What great timing.

Thank you for always coming to hear us play, everyone!

We hope you enjoy the song we have in store for you all!

Alright, let's do this, Ichi!

Yes!

Let's go, everyone! needLe!
