Chihaya's Home - Anon's Room

AnonThis is bad, this is bad...!

Anon(That girl Rāna... Her personality is weird, but her guitar skills are like a pro's...!)

Anon(And yet... Talking about "G" and "F," just how embarrassing can I possibly be!)

Anon(And, if that Rāna girl joins the band... then I'll be as invisible as air!)

AnonAh~~ What do I do~~!?

AnonEven if I start practicing now, it's not like I'll get good right away...

AnonHm? A notification on my smartphone? Nyamuchi's makeup video, a new one's been uploaded!

Nyamu"Good Even-nyamu-nyamu~ Today, I'm going to show you more make-up recommendations~"

Nyamu"Everyone has a certain way they want to look, right~?"

Anon...?

Nyamu"So, this time, I'm going to show you easy, perfect make-up!"

Nyamu"With this, you'll be fine even on busy mornings! Let's make things easier by using time-saving techniques and level-up a rank!"

AnonMake things easier by using time-saving techniques...

Anon...! This might be it...!

Haneoka Girls' Academy - Classroom 1-A

AnonHey, Tomori-chan, what do you think about writing a new song?

TomoriWhat?

AnonI was thinking that a new band really needs a new song!

TomoriA new song...

AnonAnd about the guitar part, I thought it might be nice to start off with something a bit easy.

AnonI mean, we have other stuff to get ready, too. So something quick and decent would be good...

TomoriAnon-chan... I'm sorry. I can only write lyrics...

AnonOh... right! Sorry, I was getting ahead of myself... haha...

Anon(Ugh... The "Make Things Easier by Saving Time Plan" has failed...)

Tomori...

AnonUm? What's wrong? You seem a bit down...

TomoriUh, um...

Anon? Something hard to say?

TomoriUm...

TomoriI don't... want to perform live...

AnonWhat...!?

RiNG - Cafeteria

SoyoYou don't want to perform live? Why...?

AnonWe don't have a band name, and we don't have costumes either. Tomori-chan said she wasn't sure about doing the live show, too!

Tomori...

SoyoTomori-chan, why not do it?

AnonI just told you!

TakiTomori, why...?

AnonI just said—

TomoriIt'll end...

TomoriIf we perform live... That'll be the end of the band...

Soyo、Taki...!

AnonWhat...?

AnonThat'll be the end... You mean like the last band...?

Tomori...

SoyoTomori-chan, thank you for telling us. You're scared, right?

SoyoBut you know, this time we'll talk about everything, so it'll be all right. So... you see? Let's try playing live, okay?

Tomori...

Taki...

RiNG - Emergency Stairs

SoyoTaki-chan, are you all right?

Taki...

SoyoFor Tomori-chan... what happened with CRYCHIC really was a huge shock...

SoyoBut at this rate, everything will turn out the same way.

SoyoShould we give up on the live show?

Taki...!

SoyoWe can just keep going like this, never performing live. We can play as a band just in the studio...

TakiI want to perform live.

TakiWhen I first heard Tomori's song... I thought it was about me. All the feelings I couldn't put into words, Tomori turned all of them into a song...

TakiIt told me that it's all right for me to be alive.

SoyoTaki-chan...

TakiThat's why... when we were going to be a band again, it made me really happy... I thought Tomori felt the same way... but...

SoyoHehe... You should tell Tomori-chan all of that.

TakiIt's all just coming from my own ego, so...

SoyoWhy is it that we can never say the things that are most important? That's why everyone in CRYCHIC ended up not connecting with each other...

SoyoBut we don't want to repeat the same thing, right?

SoyoTaki-chan, you should try telling Tomori-chan how you feel.

SoyoJust like Tomori-chan's song reached you, I'm sure that your feelings will reach Tomori-chan... I just know she'll understand.

Taki...

TakiI don't ever want to make Tomori feel lonely again.

SoyoI agree...

RiNG - Cafeteria

Tomori...

AnonSo, what's this about...?

SoyoToday, I want to have a real talk about what we're doing next.

AnonBy "what we're doing next," you mean the live show, right?

SoyoNo, I'm talking about further in the future.

SoyoRight now, we're all on different pages, right? Is there really any point to being in a band like this?

Tomori、Anon...!

SoyoWhen we decided to form a band again, we said we'd make sure to talk everything through, right?

SoyoBut we're already failing to connect... At this rate, everything will go wrong again...

TakiI think doing the live show is the best option.

Tomori!

TakiI think that for all of us to come together and move forward, we need a common goal.

TakiIt's because we don't have a goal that we haven't been able to rehearse. And some of us won't even try to practice.

Anon...

TakiI think everyone should hear Tomori's song. That's why...

TakiI think we should do it so that this doesn't end. Do the live show.

Tomori...!

AnonBut... Tomori-chan is saying she doesn't want to perform!

AnonAnd isn't it way too short notice to perform this time? Let's get everything ready the right way and perform at our best!

TomoriAnon-chan...

AnonIf we do that, then I think that even Tomori-chan will want to—

TakiWho do you think you are?

AnonWhat?

TakiYou keep pretending you're advocating for Tomori, but you just don't want to perform, right?

TakiTomori is worried that the band will break up if we do the live show.

AnonThat's...

TakiYou're using that to run away, aren't you?

Anon...!

TakiYou're running from the guitar.

AnonI... I'm not running away.

TakiYou can't play guitar, can you? You're always trying to dodge practice.

AnonI-I am practicing!

TakiThe only things you seem fired up about are things like where you stand, the band name, or stuff like G and F chords. If we don't perform live, you surely will run away.

TakiBecause that's what you've done up until now...

Anon!! I'm not running away!!

Tomori! Anon-chan...!

TakiAh...! Tomori...!?

Soyo、Taki...

SoyoIt was something someone was bound to say eventually.

Taki...
