Ikebukuro Streets

TakiStray cat, are you still following me?

RānaYes.

Taki(I was lucky to happen to spot her. She was headed in a completely different direction from RiNG...)

RānaRikki.

TakiHm, what?

RānaMusic store.

TakiHuh? You want to stop by?

RānaYes.

TakiNow that you mention it, I was thinking about buying some spare sticks.

RānaI want a string.

TakiWell... There's still time before practice, so...

TakiStray cat! Run faster! We'll be late at this rate!

RānaRikki's in a panic.

TakiOf course I am! I'm telling you, we're in a hurry!

TakiAnon's message said everyone's already there. If we're late, what would she say...!

RānaI'm tired.

TakiNo, you're not!

TakiI mean, it's all your fault, because you wouldn't leave the guitar corner...!

RānaThere was a newcomer.

TakiNewcomer... You mean a new guitar that just came in? Do you actually remember every guitar in that store?

RānaNot everyone. Just the ones I know.

TakiStill, you didn't have to try it out...! That's exactly why—

RānaRikki, you too.

TakiWhat!?

RānaRikki, you were talking a lot about drums too.

TakiUgh...!

RānaAnd that's why we are late.

TakiNo, that was because you kept asking questions, so—

TakiWell, I guess I'm also at fault for not paying attention to the time...

RānaAh...

TakiW-What...!?

RānaRed light.

TakiIt's true... *Pant*... *Pant*... I'm tired...

TakiChecking the time... At this pace, we might just make it in time...

RānaHmm.

TakiYou act like it's not your business... Wait, stray cat, why aren't you out of breath...?

RānaHehe...

TakiStray cat, are you in a good mood?

RānaYes. The music store, it was fun.

TakiHuh?

RānaSo many instruments are waiting for someone to play. That's why it's fun.

TakiOh... I really don't understand though.

RānaRikki.

TakiWhat?

RānaThe light's green.

TakiWhy didn't you say that sooner!? Hurry, run! Stray cat!
