Ritsu
I didn't expect it to be this thick.
Sorry if it's hard to read.
Miyako
No... It was excellent material.
Maybe I could create an autobiographical manga about you, Minetsuki-san.
Ritsu
Th-Thank you so much...?
Miyako
I understand what you want to say, Minetsuki-san.

Miyako
And the fact that the Viola-san I see, and the Viola-san
that you and Arale-san see, are different as well.
Miyako
Viola-san really understood me.
Thanks to Viola-san, I was able to believe in myself.
Miyako
So, without Viola-san, I...
Background

Ritsu
I see... So Miyako-san and I are like
a wiener and a sausage.
Ritsu
We're different, but similar.
Like ohagi and botamochi...
Miyako
Ohagi and botamochi... Aren't they the same...
Ritsu
I always thought I was serious, quiet, and boring...
And I didn't really have a sense of self.
Miyako
Huh... What was the talk about ohagi and botamochi...
Ritsu
And Viola paved the way for me.
Me, as Clematis, the model student.

Ritsu
Once I started trusting Viola and following her words,
the right answers were always right there in front of me...
Ritsu
But at the beginning, I thought it was a path I had chosen by myself.
I thought it was the only path for me.
Ritsu
But even that thought was exactly what Viola had intended.

Miyako
Even if that's true...
Isn't it fine as long as that's what everyone around you wants?
Miyako
I've always lived that way.
To survive in the world I chose for myself.
Ritsu
I became empty inside.
Ritsu
I ate too many of the right answers given by Viola,
and forgot what I liked, what I wanted to do...
Ritsu
I didn't even know what was important to me anymore...
Ritsu
And into that emptiness, Viola packed even sweeter,
more delightful words.

Viola
I've been wanting to meet you...
Viola
I fell in love with it at first sight.

Viola
If this encounter is fate... I hope it lasts.
Viola
Because you're sparkling and beautiful.

Ritsu
My grandmother used to say,
"Eating too many sweets is bad for you."
Ritsu
The scary thing about Viola is that
she never gets her own hands dirty.
Ritsu
She tames people with sweet words,
and shifts the guilt onto them...
Miyako
I understand what you're saying and what you mean.
But...
Ritsu
I think we should talk about more things, Miyako-san.
Like what kind of meat you like, or how you like it cooked...
Ritsu
I'm just repeating what Arale-chan said, though.

Ritsu
I think Nono-chan feels the same way too.
She wants to know you, Miyako-san...

So please, don't meet Viola—

Arale
Whoa, whoa, whoa...!
Yuno-san-chan's depressive posts are escalating!
Arale
She's really going to say bye-bye for this time...!

Usa Eater-chan's
Tuna-chan Quuuuuuiz!
Nonoka
Which aquarium in the Kanto region can you meet Tuna-chan?
Children
Only here~!!

Ritsu
That makes sense.
Nonoka
Alright! Wait a minute~
Tuna-chan, Yuno-cha...
Nonoka
Is it wrong to force someone to stay
when they want to quit?
Nonoka
A flower field is not a place that everyone can live comfortably.

Arale
I was really, really happy about that kiss from
Nono-chan-san that time!

Nonoka
Because your "love" has power!

Arale
So let's go for it, even if we might crash!
Arale
Wait, we can't actually crash!
Let's go with a steady, firm pull instead!
Arale
If that doesn't work... let's all think it over together.
Arale
!?!? You squeezed my hand too tight! Ouch~~~~!
Nonoka
Your feelings reached me!
Arale
Where is Yuno-san-chan!?
Where on earth is she~~~~???

That was back when I was still in kindergarten...
Kindergartener A
Waaah... Nooo!
Kindergartener B
Why are you crying? Let's go together.
Kindergartener C
Sensei said we should not do things
that other people dislike~
Nonoka
Bunnies are so yummy, way up on the hill~
The river where you fish for small carp~
Kindergartener B
Ah! Usa Eater-chan!
Nonoka
Let's sing together~!
Kindergartener A
Huh...
Nonoka
Dreams are still
going around now~
Kindergartener A
Hehe... Kyahaha!
Nonoka
I love everyone's smiling faces.
What makes me happiest is when everyone is happy.

Middle School Student A
Wow! Thanks~!
Middle School Student A
I'm so happy~ Mama really loves Usa Eater-chan.
Middle School Student B
Can I have one too?
Nonoka
(But lately, somehow...)
Nonoka
(Somehow~ I have a bit of a strange feeling.)
Middle School Student A
This is a gift from me! Thanks so much!
Middle School Student B
Bye-bye~
Middle School Student C
Ah! This time was the best too...!
Middle School Student D
Oh! Usa Eater-chan wanna listen to it, too?
It's yuno's new song.
Nonoka
Hmm? I remember Nana-chan said she liked it?
Middle School Student D
You don't really know about it, do you!?
Middle School Student C
You really need to listen to it right now!
Middle School Student D
It's a band that a girl named yuno is in!
Middle School Student C
They're the same age as us, yet they write all their own songs!
Here, put on the earphones!

I wonder what kind of person she is?

Manager
Here are the changes from the previous contract.
Manager
Yeah. We're still in contact with some of them,
but the members probably would be like this.
Manager
Miyanaga-san often plays during livestreams.
Manager
She had been a freelancer for a long time, but lately she signed up with us.
Nonoka
Yuno-chan is a member!?
Manager
Yeah. And Fuji-san too.
Manager
And Nakamachi-san, who we're planning to sign with soon.
We'd like the four of you to form a band.

Seventeen years in this world since I was born, and there's still so much I don't know.
Nonoka
Being with everyone... it's fun!
Nonoka
Is it really okay for me to be this happy?
Nonoka
With Yuno-chan, Miyako-chan, Arale-chan, and Ricchan!
Nonoka
It was like a dream that
I could play in a band with them...
Miyako
I!
I really hate you!!
Yuno
I'm quitting the band.
