Nagi
So this is where you were, Natsume-senpai.
Natsume
What...? Could you not interrupt my practice?
Nagi
Will you check your messages already?
Nagi
Yeah. Mahoro sent one.
You still haven't said which proposed date works for our next live.
Natsume
Oh... this. I didn't notice it.
Natsume
You know how I stop checking my phone when I get absorbed in something, right?
Nagi
I don't, actually.
Just make sure you reply to her.
Nagi
I assume you must be very busy,
seeing as you left half your lunch untouched.
Natsume
Hey... What? Quit staring at my lunch, okay?
Nagi
You're the one trying to hide it.
Also, that's a cute lunchbox.
Natsume
Enough!
If you're done here, just go already!
Nagi
No, if I head back now, I won't have time to eat...
Can I eat here?
Nagi
It's an egg sandwich from the school store. Nice, right?
Natsume
What's so nice about that?
Nagi
So the "Rooftop Guitarist"
is back.
Natsume
Yeah... Now that I'm back in the band,
I need to practice too, right?
Natsume
No idea who came up with it,
but having a nickname isn't such a bad feeling.

Nagi
It's more of a bad reputation than a nickname, though.
You've been claiming the rooftop and playing guitar by yourself forever.

Nagi
Were you like that even before you met Kanata?
Natsume
So what if I was...?
If you don't play every day, you get rusty fast.
Nagi
(Every day...)
Nagi
(Then things must've been really bad during those six months
she stayed away from school...)
Nagi
Still, you don't have to make such a show of practicing up here.
Natsume
Oh, give it a rest.
There are reasons I can't play at home.
Natsume
More importantly, are you actually practicing?
I'll know right away if you've been slacking off.
Nagi
I've got my own pace.
Natsume
What? If you're serious about aiming for Comet Rising,
you know doing what you've always done won't cut it, right?
Natsume
Hotaru may be a genius,
but the rest of us can't afford to fall short.
Natsume
Of course, I won't lose to Hotaru either.
But I can't be satisfied with just that.
Nagi
You're really fired up.
Natsume
Obviously. We can't just
settle for Comet Rising.
Natsume
The kind of cool I'm aiming for is way beyond that.
Nagi
(That's exactly why I find her so hard to deal with...)
Nagi
That's pretty cool.
Natsume
You don't mean that at all, do you?
Nagi
Mmm... This egg sandwich is good.
