Haneoka Girls' Academy - Classroom 1-A

AnonTomori-chan, morning~

TomoriM-Morning...

AnonI'm sorry about before! Being so pushy in inviting you to join my band.

TomoriAh...

AnonI won't invite you anymore, so don't worry, okay?

Tomori......

Haneoka Girls' Academy - School Gate

Student AThat girl's wearing a Tsukinomori's uniform, isn't she?

Student BIsn't she the daughter of that comedian, Wakaba!? I saw her on TV~!

Student CActually, her mom is a super famous actress, which means she's super rich. Of course she goes to Tsukinomori~

Sakiko......

MutsumiSaki...

Hazawa Coffee Shop

SakikoWhy did you come to Haneoka without asking?

MutsumiBecause I sent messages, but you didn't answer me...

SakikoI told you that I didn't want you to tell anyone where I am, didn't I?

MutsumiI haven't told anyone...

SakikoIf you act in a way that attracts attention like that, it's the same as telling people. Everything is ruined.

MutsumiSoyo is worried about you. She says she wants to go to your home...

SakikoCould you tell her that I moved or something?

Mutsumi......

Sakiko*Sigh*... You can't pull off a trick like that, can you, Mutsumi?

SakikoI'll be going now. Mutsumi, don't turn yourself into a carrier pigeon.

SakikoFarewell.

RiNG Cafeteria

TakiWhy are you here?

AnonSoyo-san asked me to come here~ She said she had something to talk about the band.

AnonAh, Soyo-san's here! Soyo-san!

SoyoAnon-chan, sorry to keep you waiting. Sorry, I called you out but made you wait.

AnonNo! I haven't been waiting long at all!

SoyoHey, you're being overly polite again~

TakiWell then, I'll get back to work.

SoyoAh, wait, Taki-chan. I have something to talk with you, can you spare me just a little time?

AnonWhat? We're talking about the band today, right?

SoyoYes. We have to do things like decide on the combination of instruments, so I thought we should decide on members. I'm on bass, right? And Anon-chan, you're on guitar...

AnonI'd like to be on guitar and vocals!

SoyoAnd we need a keyboard, too. I do have an idea for a drummer, though.

SoyoTaki-chan.

TakiWhat?

SoyoAnon-chan and I are forming a band. Do you want to be in it with us, Taki-chan?

AnonWhat!? Soyo-san... what are you saying!?

TakiI won't do it.

AnonSoyo-san! We don't need her!

SoyoHey, Taki-chan. If Tomori-chan said she'd be in it with us, what would you do?

TakiThere's no way Tomori'll do it. After what happened... Tomori's hurt.

SoyoAll of us are hurt.

TakiI'm getting back to work.

SoyoTaki-chan...

Anon......

Anon(Huh...? What is all this about? Tomori-chan being hurt and...)

Anon(Hm? Wait... The band, that Tomori-chan said went wrong...)

AnonSoyo-san, could it be... the band you were in before...

SoyoYes. We were all in the same band as Tomori-chan.

SoyoIt's called CRYCHIC... Tomori-chan didn't tell you about it, did she?

AnonWhat kind of band was it?

Soyo......

SoyoCan you take a look at this?

AnonSmartphone video...?

SoyoYes, the video quality is a little rough, but...

SakikoIs everyone ready?

SoyoWait a second, I need to adjust the camera position. Ah, Mutsumi-chan, you're going to be out of frame~

SakikoMutsumi, you have to be a little more to your left. You need to act like you're going to be in the center.

MutsumiYeah...

SoyoHow about you, Taki-chan? Adjusting the drums?

TakiNo, it's already done. Okay.

SoyoI see, then... Tomori-chan?

Tomori......

TakiAre you okay?

SakikoYou don't have to try to sing really well. You just have to get your feelings across.

SoyoBesides, if you make a mistake, we can just re-record it, so you don't need to be nervous~

TakiI can only go all-out once.

SoyoHonestly, Taki-chan! Tomori-chan, you can do this!

TomoriYeah...

TomoriWe're CRYCHIC. We're going to play "Haruhikage."

Planetarium

NarrationWhen these three stars are connected with lines, it forms a giant triangle. It's called the Summer Triangle.

NarrationActually—

Tomori......

NarrationAnd that is the end of our programming for today.

Tomori......

Tomori...?

SoyoCan you meet up right now? Anon-chan says she wants to see you.

Soyo

Tomori......

Grand Staircase

TomoriAh...

AnonSorry to call you out so suddenly.

AnonSoyo-san told me what happened with CRYCHIC.

TomoriHuh...

AnonTomori-chan, you were the vocalist, right? Tomori-chan, your singing was really good.

AnonI watched your performance video... You were really enjoying singing.

Tomori......

AnonTomori-chan... don't you actually want to be in a band?

Tomori......

TomoriWhy would you...?

AnonBecause "Haruhikage" is a great song. It sort of resonated with me... I can't really explain it, but it surprised me a little.

AnonThe feeling of being so happy you'd joined the band really came through.

TomoriIt's because it was my fault...

TomoriIt's my fault that CRYCHIC broke up...

AnonI don't think it was your fault, Tomori-chan. I mean, isn't the girl who suddenly decided to quit the one at fault?

AnonShe didn't say why, right? Seems kinda selfish, doesn't it? And because of it, Tomori-chan and everyone else got hurt—

SoyoIt isn't Saki-chan's fault either.

TomoriAh...

SoyoIt isn't... anyone's fault.

TomoriSoyo-chan...

SoyoIt's been a while... Tomori-chan.

TomoriIf it's no one's fault, then why did we break up?

Soyo、Anon......

Tomori...

SoyoTomori-chan...!

Soyo、Anon......

SoyoThank you...

AnonHuh...?

SoyoAnon-chan, because of you, I was able to speak with Tomori-chan for the first time in a long time.

AnonTomori-chan said that it was her fault, right?

SoyoYeah. I wonder why she thinks that.

SoyoI wonder what everyone else thinks about it. Plus, Saki-chan is missing. I don't have any idea where she is.

AnonWhat? The girl on the keyboard? She's at my school...

Soyo...! At Haneoka!?

AnonY-Yeah...

SoyoI see... She's at Haneoka...

Anon......

Tomori...

SoyoIt isn't... anyone's fault.

Tomori......

Tomori(It was probably because I was out of step.)

Tomori(Ever since I was little, always...)
