Haneoka Girls' Academy - Classroom 1-A

Tomori-chan, morning~
I'm sorry about before!
Being so pushy in inviting you to join my band.
I won't invite you anymore, so don't worry, okay?

Haneoka Girls' Academy - School Gate

Student A
That girl's wearing a Tsukinomori's uniform, isn't she?
Student B
Isn't she the daughter of that comedian, Wakaba!?
I saw her on TV~!
Student C
Actually, her mom is a super famous actress,
which means she's super rich. Of course she goes to Tsukinomori~

Why did you come to Haneoka without asking?
Because I sent messages, but you didn't answer me...
I told you that
I didn't want you to tell anyone where I am, didn't I?
If you act in a way that attracts attention like that, it's the same as telling people.
Everything is ruined.
Soyo is worried about you.
She says she wants to go to your home...
Could you tell her that I moved or something?
*Sigh*... You can't pull off a trick like that, can you, Mutsumi?
I'll be going now.
Mutsumi, don't turn yourself into a carrier pigeon.

RiNG - Café

Why are you here?
Soyo-san asked me to come here~
She said she had something to talk about the band.
Ah, Soyo-san's here!
Soyo-san!
Anon-chan, sorry to keep you waiting.
Sorry, I called you out but made you wait.
No! I haven't been waiting long at all!
Hey, you're being overly polite again~
Well then, I'll get back to work.
Ah, wait, Taki-chan.
I have something to talk with you,
can you spare me just a little time?
What?
We're talking about the band today, right?
Yes. 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...
I'd like to be on guitar and vocals!
And we need a keyboard, too.
I do have an idea for a drummer, though.
Anon-chan and I are forming a band.
Do you want to be in it with us, Taki-chan?
What!?
Soyo-san... what are you saying!?
I won't do it.
Soyo-san!
We don't need her!
Hey, Taki-chan.
If Tomori-chan said she'd be in it with us, what would you do?
There's no way Tomori'll do it.
After what happened... Tomori's hurt.
All of us are hurt.
I'm getting back to work.
(Huh...? What is all this about?
Tomori-chan being hurt and...)
Background
(Hm? Wait...
The band, that Tomori-chan said went wrong...)
Background
Soyo-san, could it be...
the band you were in before...
Yes.
We were all in the same band as Tomori-chan.
It's called CRYCHIC...
Tomori-chan didn't tell you about it, did she?
What kind of band was it?
Can you take a look at this?
Smartphone video...?
Yes, the video quality is a little rough, but...
Background
Wait a second, I need to adjust the camera position.
Ah, Mutsumi-chan, you're going to be out of frame~
Mutsumi, you have to be a little more to your left.
You need to act like you're going to be in the center.
How about you, Taki-chan? Adjusting the drums?
No, it's already done. Okay.
I see, then... Tomori-chan?
Are you okay?
You don't have to try to sing really well.
You just have to get your feelings across.
Besides, if you make a mistake, we can just re-record it,
so you don't need to be nervous~
I can only go all-out once.
Honestly, Taki-chan!
Tomori-chan, you can do this!
We're CRYCHIC.
We're going to play "Haruhikage."

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

Actually—

And that is the end of our programming for today.
Soyo
Can you meet up right now? Anon-chan says she wants to see you.

Grand Staircase

Sorry to call you out so suddenly.
Soyo-san told me what happened
with CRYCHIC.
Tomori-chan, you were the vocalist, right?
Tomori-chan, your singing was really good.
I watched your performance video...
You were really enjoying singing.
Tomori-chan...
don't you actually want to be in a band?
Because "Haruhikage" is a great song.
It sort of resonated with me...
I can't really explain it, but it surprised me a little.
The feeling of being so happy
you'd joined the band really came through.
It's because it was my fault...
It's my fault that CRYCHIC broke up...
I don't think it was your fault, Tomori-chan.
I mean, isn't the girl who suddenly decided to quit the one at fault?
She didn't say why, right?
Seems kinda selfish, doesn't it?
And because of it, Tomori-chan and everyone else got hurt—
It isn't Saki-chan's fault either.
It isn't... anyone's fault.
It's been a while... Tomori-chan.
If it's no one's fault, then why did we break up?
Tomori-chan...!
Anon-chan, because of you,
I was able to speak with Tomori-chan for the first time in a long time.
Tomori-chan said that it was her fault, right?
Yeah. I wonder why she thinks that.
I wonder what everyone else thinks about it.
Plus, Saki-chan is missing.
I don't have any idea where she is.
What? The girl on the keyboard?
She's at my school...
...! At Haneoka!?
I see... She's at Haneoka...
