Nonoka~♪

AraleWow~ So beautiful~

RitsuYeah, I'd like to come here again during the daytime.

AraleIndeed~!

MiyakoOh.

Ritsu?

AraleMiyako-san?

MiyakoAh... For reference for my manga... I don't usually come to places like this alone, you know...

NonokaLet's take a picture~!

YunoGweh!

NonokaSay cheese!

YunoAchoo!

NonokaPhew. I got a great picture.

YunoIt's cold...

AraleLet's head back before we catch a cold.

AraleRicchan, are you hungry?

RitsuI haven't eaten anything at all today, so...

MiyakoHuh? But you just ate meat a little while ago...

RitsuThat was just a snack... My body lacks strength~

AraleOh no! We need to get food right away!

MiyakoI remember there was a ramen shop near the station...

RitsuWhat kind was it!?

MiyakoHuh? Oh, I don't know... It might be... a mariage of rich and light...

Ritsu!

RitsuI'm off now~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!

AraleRicchan turned into a starving berserker~~~~~!!

YunoWhat do we do about that?

AraleOnce Ricchan gets like that, no one can stop her!!!

NonokaLet's go~!!!

YunoHuh!?

Arale!

NonokaBooom!!

AraleYaay!

YunoWait!

Miyako...

YunoNo... Let go...!

NonokaNono-chan won't let Yuno-chan go~

MiyakoHahaha...

AraleHeh, ahahahaha!

Yuno!?

AraleHahahahaha!

MiyakoAhahahaha...

YunoHaha...!

RitsuYou're late! How about whoever gets there first pays for the ramen?

AraleHuh!? The first one?

NonokaRaameeen!

YunoI can't... run...

MiyakoIt's... a research expense...

AraleMiyako-san!?

MiyakoReceipt...

Arale...

AraleWait~~!!

EveryoneAhahahaha!

YunoOuch...

YunoIt hurts! I can't even sit down...

YunoUgh...

YunoLet's do this...

Dear Koharu, it's been a while. This is Sengoku. I was in the band with you before. I am reaching out because I would like to discuss something with you.

YunoThat's too stiff. Let's make it more casual.

Dear Koharu, It's been a while. I hope you're doing well. I am contacting you because I have a matter to discuss.

YunoWait... Is "Dear Koharu" necessary?

YunoThere's no way I'd send an email if I didn't have a reason, so do I really need to say "I have a matter to discuss"?

Yuno...

Yuno...

I wonder if we can meet.

YunoPhew...

Yuno! So fast...

Yuno"OK!" Huh... Makes me feel stupid for worrying about it all this time.

Yuno(She hasn't changed at all since then.)

YunoI wonder... why we disbanded...

Yuno(There's still time before the appointed time...)

Yuno(But what if she doesn't show up...)

KoharuSorry to keep you waiting~

YunoWow.

KoharuIt's been a while~

KoharuI thought you'd definitely come 15 minutes early, so I arrived 20 minutes early, though. You really are serious~

Yuno! I just finished my previous work sooner than expected.

KoharuHuh~

Yuno(I definitely can't tell her I got here an hour early.)

KoharuUgh~ Carbonation really hits the spot on a just-woken-up brain~~~

Yuno...

KoharuYuno, you really made your dream come true.

YunoHuh? My dream...

KoharuYou said it, didn't you? "I want to make a living with music."

KoharuYou don't remember it?

YunoI don't remember... the past...

KoharuYou were saying it every single day in middle school!

Koharu"We're the best band, right?"

Koharu"If we make it to the major scene, we'll absolutely sell. And we should be able to go to the world."

YunoEek~~~~! Stop~~!!!

KoharuHahaha! You haven't changed one bit in that regard.

YunoOf course I changed...

YunoIt's been two years...

KoharuFrom my perspective, Yuno, you haven't changed at all. You're still the goal everyone looks up to, just as always.

YunoWhat's that?

Koharu...

KoharuI wrote the lyrics for the tie-up with our honest, unfiltered feelings at that time.

KoharuIt's a song for all of us—about us pushing each other forward toward our dreams, moving ahead together.

KoharuWhat are you doing?

YunoThe sounds of summer. I was thinking of including them in the song arrangement.

KoharuReally!?

KaedeHuh~

YuinaInteresting.

KoharuHow about this? This one!

YunoIt sounds like a construction site...

Koharu、Yuina、KaedeAhahahahahahaha!!

KoharuThe days we had. So happy, dazzling, and unforgettable.

KoharuI promise we won't make any noise!

TeacherThat's not the issue. You need to submit a classroom usage request—

YuinaWe'll just do it all with air instruments, look.

KaedeHuh!? Y-Yes! Thump thump thump, clang!

TeacherListen to me—

YunoWe do music.

YunoWe'll make a living with music. That's what we've decided.

Koharu...

KoharuI want to live with music.

KoharuWe all found our own dreams in someone else's dream.

KoharuIf Yuno can do it, then maybe we can too.

ScoutThen, if you want to hear the details, please feel free to contact me using the contact info on my business card.

YunoSorry to keep you waiting.

Koharu、Yuina、KaedeCongratulations~!!

KoharuA composition request! You're a professional now!

YuinaYou can make a living with music now!

KaedeDreams really come true!

Yuno? We should make it come true, right?

Koharu、Yuina、Kaede?

YunoThe dreams we've made come true—this is just the beginning. There will be even more to come.

Koharu、Yuina、Kaede...

KoharuI felt that if Yuno could lead the way ahead, we could keep chasing our dreams forever.

Yuno! Pack up!

KoharuAh, she ran away!

YuinaYuunoo!

KaedeWait~!

KoharuAhaha!

KoharuChasing after you...

KoharuAnd someday, we want to run side by side with you.

Yuno...

KoharuI used to think that dreams stayed as dreams.

KoharuKaede's been studying like crazy to become a veterinarian, and Yuina's been doing strength training. She says she's going to space.

YunoHuh...? Why all of a sudden...?

KoharuWe just didn't tell you. It's not like our dreams would come true.

KoharuBut Yuno, looking at you made us feel like maybe the odds aren't zero after all.

YunoSo that's how it was...

KoharuWhen we disbanded, I was happy that you quietly pushed me forward...

YunoI didn't... mean for that...

Yuno(So, they didn't abandon me after all...)

KoharuBelieving in someone else's dream can be the first step toward your own dream, isn't that amazing?

Yuno(I thought... everyone was moving forward happily, and I was the only one left behind...)

Yuno(In those lyrics...)

Yuno(I was there too...)

Yuno...

KoharuI mean, my work is tough too. But when I see you doing so well, it makes me think I can't lose, and I can keep going.

KoharuAnd because I worked hard, my dream of making a song with you came true too, Yuno.

KoharuThank you.

YunoMe... me too...

Yuno!

YunoI didn't do anything!

KoharuYou did. Your face is bright red.

YunoYou're annoying.

KoharuWas it embarrassing?

YunoNo.

YunoBut I'm glad I asked. I wanted to do some research for making the song.

KoharuHuh? You called me here for work? I thought you called me because you wanted to see me!

YunoFor work.

KoharuNo way~! I was so happy that I reversed my whole night-owl schedule just to come see you!

YunoThat's why I set it in the evening.

KoharuI always wake up at 9 PM, you know.

YunoSorry for waking you, but I should be heading back now.

KoharuHuh? So early!

YunoThere's a deadline, you know.

KoharuBye.

YunoMm.

KoharuYuno!

Yuno...

KoharuLet's work together again sometime! Is it okay if I send an email to your office?

YunoShh...! DM my alt account!

KoharuUnderstood!

Yuno(So the disbandment wasn't an ending, but a positive new start.)

Yuno...

YunoOh, I think I've got something.

AraleThanks for coming all the way to my home.

RitsuNot at all. I wanted to visit this area again. It's been a while.

AraleYou moved away, after all.

RitsuYeah.

AraleHere, Chupasachu volume 1.

RitsuThanks—

AraleLet me confirm again. You've read it once already, right!?

RitsuYeah.

RitsuI want to read it with Arale-chan's comments.

AraleOh, it's not a big deal...

Arale! Chupasachu is a big deal! It's the best!

RitsuYeah.

RitsuBack in elementary school, I always thought Arale-chan's comments on Magilulu were funny...

RitsuThe set of watching Magilulu on Sunday, and then hearing you talk about it on Monday was my favorite, Arale-chan.

AraleHuh~

Arale! It's Raki-chan. Hello.

Raki"It's terrible!"

AraleHuh? What's wrong?

Ritsu...

Bota"Umm, there's a video online of Arale-chan and Yako-sensei fighting."

Raki"Even we know you're close, but it still looks kind of bad..."

RitsuArale-chan, probably this video.

Arale...

Miyako"Arale-san is just too intense!"

Arale"D-Don't mess with me!"

Miyako"That's enough!"

Arale"What...!"

Miyako"We're the ones who decided to do the live show, aren't we!"

Ritsu、Arale...

Bota"I didn't think it could be true, but I figured I should let you know..."

AraleYeah... Thank you.

RitsuViola did this.

AraleI wonder if Miyako-san is fine...

RitsuI've already told her all about Viola...

Arale...

RitsuArale-chan, are you okay?

RitsuMiyako-san is just being led by Viola to say this...

Arale! No, I'm fine!

AraleNow I know...

Ritsu?

AraleBecause Miyako-san completely trusted Viola.

MiyakoSorry! Sorry, I...

RitsuYeah...

NonokaHere comes Nonononononono~~ Nono-chan~!

NonokaThe comments have stopped coming! Good evening~

NonokaYesterday, we all went to the beach! We had a fire~! At the beach!

NonokaAnd... and...

NonokaNono-chan has become an adult♡

NonokaIt was all first-time things for me... Mm?

Nonoka"I hear that MewType is getting flamed. Are you okay?"

NonokaMmm...

NonokaFire~~~~~!!

YunoOnline backlash?

YunoMewType, members falling to the dark side, falling out, one topic after another...

YunoControversy marketing... "Does infamy really outweigh obscurity?"

YunoNo, I dunno.

YunoEven if you call it infamy, the world's trends are...

YunoFestival canceled, Kandagawa, Kan-chan, what day is it today, made-to-order production started, post an image I can use for the punchline.

YunoIn a different circle, it wouldn't even be a topic. I don't really care about this backlash...

YunoThey seem to care, though...

Arale"Don't play dumb!"

Arale"That's how you do it! You lie to toy with people's hearts and hurt them! Now I have the adults who help me by my side!"

Miyako"Wha... Please give me a moment!"

Miyako"Arale-san is so selfish, so self-absorbed!"

Miyako"She's so intense and scary that she loses sight of everyone around her!"

Miyako"She just keeps talking, completely ignoring everyone else, and being satisfied all by herself!"

Viola...

MiyakoOnly Viola-san could have taken this video... Viola-san...

MiyakoIf only... She would deny it...!

Maru-kunYou knew it, didn't you?

Miyako...

Maru-kunEveryone was persuading you because they care about you.

Miyako... I knew...

MiyakoEven so... I didn't want to believe that sparkle was a lie...!

MiyakoI thought... I had finally met someone who would understand me to the very bottom of my heart...

MiyakoI just wanted to be with her longer... That was all...

Miyako...

MiyakoUgh...

MiyakoWaaaaaaaaaaaah......
