Before Band Practice

MiyakoHello, Sengoku-san.

YunoOh, Fuji-san. Hey...

MiyakoA most splendid day to you.

YunoHuh... Fuji-san, is something up...?

MiyakoNo, nothing terribly important...

MiyakoI just submitted my manuscript ahead of schedule.

YunoAh... So you're on a high from finishing early.

MiyakoYes. I have bid farewell to those days of walking a tightrope, and ahead of schedule at that.

YunoWell... you did get it done early.

MiyakoI turned in the latest chapter of my series and the bonus mini-poster together, all before the deadline.

MiyakoI'm almost a little frightened by what I'm capable of.

Yuno...

MiyakoAt the same time, I feel I ought to give myself some credit. After all, it's proof of how hard I worked!

YunoWell, I get how you feel.

MiyakoExactly!

YunoToo close.

MiyakoThe exhilaration of finally being free from a deadline...! The sheer satisfaction of getting it in early...!

MiyakoAhh... No matter how many times you experience it, nothing else compares...!

YunoAh... yeah. I get it, I get it.

MiyakoBy the way, Sengoku-san, how are things coming along on your end?

MiyakoI imagine you also take on composition work for other clients, in addition to your work for MewType. Is that right?

YunoAh, yeah. It's not much different from usual.

MiyakoNo need to be modest.

YunoI'm not. Let's see... Right now, I've got...

YunoTwo projects due this week... and one due next week.

MiyakoWhat?

YunoI've also got one waiting on client feedback... no, two. Well, any revisions should be minor, though.

Miyako(Three projects in progress at once. And if I count the ones she's waiting to hear back on...)

YunoOh, and I've got a meeting about a new project tomorrow.

Miyako(A-Another one...!?)

MiyakoI-I see...

YunoYeah. That's about normal.

Miyako(And there I was saying all that in front of someone who handles this much work without batting an eye...)

YunoHm? Fuji-san?

MiyakoN-Nothing. Um...

MiyakoI'm glad to hear everything is going smoothly. Please keep up the good work.

YunoYeah. Thanks.

MiyakoPhew...

Miyako(I've still got a long way to go. I need to work harder too.)
