And their sound is childish, too.

So you couldn’t stop thinking about it, either?
Yeah. It was written on Sora’s homepage…

that they’d be making a big announcement at the cultural festival.

[sfx]: Sniff…

Hey! What’s wrong!

p4: =======================================
I mean, what if they say they’re breaking up?
Maybe failing that audition last month really bummed them out?

When I imagine never hearing Pochi-chan’s voice ever again…!
I-It’ll be fine! Right?
O-Ooh… All I can do is cheer her on…

Youko’s group is playing three acts from now.
‘Kay. I-Isn’t that Sakura-chan?

Hahaha! I could hear it a thousand times and it’d still be funny!

p9: =======================================
That voice—he’s…

Pochi-chan…?!

I’m Shibata “Pochi” Ken, our vocalist and a boy.
/ I know I sound like a girl, but I’m a boy.
I was so ashamed of my own voice that I’ve been running away all this time…

But I won’t run away anymore
because I’ve found friends who’ll support me.

p10: =======================================
So today, I’ll sing the music that I love

You’re crying?!
I-I mean, his voice… It’s so beautiful! It touched me, or something, and…

[sfx]: Drip
You, too?!

You’re bandaged up from head to toe—are always you in pain?

They’re friggin’ high schoolers…

They’re friggin’ high schoolers, so why are they so good?!!
[sfx]: Sniff

p16: =======================================
So their big announcement’s that Pochi’s a guy.
[sfx]: Tearing up…
--Hey, Sho’on?!

W-Was learning Pochi-chan’s a guy that big of a shock?

Okay, I’ll see you later!
Have a good day!
[sfx]: Click!

Our son seems to be having a lot of fun lately.
[sfx]: Close…
He’s made some friends, right? That’s great news.

I get the feeling he won’t be spending Christmas with us this year.

Ageha-chan!

Pochi!

p29: =======================================
I was thinking of making our next song something like this.
Wow, you made another one! Let me hear it!
Wait a second. I’ll play it back now…

!
[sfx]: Tight

Hey, not so close!!
[sfx]: Bah
Wawa! I’m sorry!

I let my guard down because I assumed she’d gotten used to me like this…
/ I feel like such a jerk.
[sfx]: Glum

Argh…

p30: =======================================
Ah!

Good morning, you two!
Ageha…? Why’s your face red?
I-it’s nothing!
?

More importantly, let’s hurry to the clubroom and get a song in before classes start!

…….

[sfx]: Slide

Maybe I’ll save this letter
for when we get to the clubroom?
[sfx]: Lick

p1: =======================================
31st: Can You Forgive

p2: =======================================
*Beep*

I just sent Ageha a text.
[sfx]: Creak
Okay.

Haaaahhhh!! Argh! What is with this day?!

Can’t believe Pochi’s a guy…

…

p3: =======================================
Even now, I still can’t believe it!
/ I mean, her voice is so cute, and she has such good looks; of course I’d doubt anyone who told me she was a guy!
Furthermore, Ageha brought him to be our vocalist, and she hates guys.

Yeah, she does…

Pochi’s a guy—but we did all that stuff in front of him, and even slept together all those nights during the training camp…
Never would’ve done that with a guy!!!

That’s right!! We did all those things because she was a girl!!
[sfx]: Jump!

p4: =======================================
*Sigh*…

What do we do, Tsubasa? Can you forgive him?
Mmm…

But none of this changes the fact that I liked Pochi’s voice.

Same here…

p5: =======================================
How do you think Pochi felt through all of that?

…

*Vibrate*
Ageha!

Hello?!

Kotori…? I’m sorry…

p6: =======================================
I’ll tell you everything.
/ Tsubasa, too.

Yeha, okay. I’m here with Tsubasa right now, so we’ll go to you.

Thanks.
/ And also…

?

p7: =======================================
A week’s passed since I was last able to meet with any members of Sora.
I don’t want to cause any trouble for Ageha-chan, so I’ve been avoiding her as best I can.

I’ll remember the time we spent together this summer for all my life.

It’ll be my unforgettable treasure…

p8: =======================================
[sfx]: Squeeze

[sfx]: Clench

From now on,
how am I supposed to kill time during lunch?

[sign]: Band Club

[sfx]: Jang!!

p9: =======================================
[sfx]: Strum

[sfx]: Open…

Kotori! Tsubasa!
[sfx]: Jump!

When you’re shown something like this every day, well…
Yeah…

p10: =======================================
Is it…?!
It’s good
/ However…

?

Tell us more. Otherwise, you’ll never be able to finish it, right?
Empathy’s important.

p11: =======================================
Kotori, Tsubasa…!!
Thank you!

[sfx]: Rustle

This part is like this…
Hmm, hmm.
And this bit means…
Okay…

p12: =======================================
!

Pochi! We’re going to karaoke, and you gotta come with!
If you came, you’d get laughs for sure! So how about it? Sing for us!

I-I don’t want people to laugh at me!
[sfx]: Shake x2

Hey, c’mon, let’s go!

Wait!

p13: =======================================
?!

Pochi’s voice
would be wasted on the likes of you!

p14: =======================================
Huh?
What?

Ageha-chan! And Kotori-chan, and Tsubasa-chan too?! Whoa!
You three should come with! We’d be the greatest group ever!!

[sfx]: Burst!
Wah!

Let’s go.

[sfx]: Grab

Hey!

p15: =======================================
Don’t talk to us like we’re friends.
Let’s go.

The heck?!!
Hey! What gives?! This makes no sense!
[sfx]: Walk

Uh, umm, Ageha-chan, Kotori-chan, Tsubasa-chan…!

Come this way.

O-Okay!

[sfx]: Dash…

p16: =======================================
[sign]: Band Club

[sfx]: Open

The club room…? I’ve only not come here for a few days, but it feels like it’s been an eternity…

[sfx]: Stare…

p17: =======================================
His hair’s short, but… He’s Pochi.

If anything, he still feels the same as he did as a girl, just with a different haircut.

Pft.

Keh keh keh! Ahahahaha!
It’s weird. Boy or girl, you’re still Pochi!

Kotori-chan, Tsubasa-chan…!

I told them everything.

!

p18: =======================================
How we met, how I selfishly made you crossdress,
/ how you’re always hiding your voice,
and how much you love singing.
I told the two of them all of that.

Huh?! What?!!!

We were really confused at first. I mean, you’re usually in for a shock when someone lies to you…
I-I’m sorry.

But Ageha said you genuinely love music.
That it was her fault.

p19: =======================================
Ageha pushed really hard for us to forgive you,
but besides that, Tsubasa and I also felt the same way:

That we love your singing!

[sfx]: Giggle
Kotori-chan,
/ Tsubasa-chan…

So, umm…

Let’s the four of us keep going with our band!!

p20: =======================================
I wrote a song. I’ll sing the lyrics this time.
Please don’t laugh.

p21: =======================================
She’s…!!

And if they laugh, who cares?
Just spend time doing what you love and hold your head up high… ♪…

p22: =======================================
You have a treasure all your own,
/ unique in all the world.
…So please don't ever let it go; right now it's time to fly…

Don’t tell me you…?

[sfx]: Strum

p23: =======================================
This is the first time I’ve ever written a song with someone in mind…!

Pochi, you taught me that it doesn’t matter if they’re a boy or a girl—
I just want to bring a smile to the people closest to me.

Feeling better now…?

p24: =======================================
[sfx]: Bwahh!

Ageha-chan…!!
/ You did this for me…?!! Thank you!! Thank you so much!!!
[sfx]: Waahhh!! x2
Hey! Don’t cry so much!
/ You’ll embarrass me!!

p25: =======================================
Ageha was amazing the whole time she was writing this song.
/ She kept talking about how she hoped you would feel, and what each part meant.
But thanks to that, we were able to understand how you feel.

Thank you… Thank you, everyone…!

Pochi, could you sing the song for me…?

Yeah…!

I… I want to sing it!!

p26: =======================================
Okay! We’re Sora reborn!
Let’s make a fresh start!!

YEAH!!

Then the four of us have our next gig at the cultural festival!

Hey…

p27: =======================================
In that case, there’s something I’d like to try…

?

p28: =======================================
What in the wohld

30th: My Secret’s Out?!

p2: =======================================
Ageha-chan, she…

p3: =======================================
I looked like a boy, but she didn’t fear me;
she stayed with me!

Heh heh…! Heh heh heh!!
[sfx]: Roll

[sfx]: Ding / dong…

[sign]: Band Club

Everyone!

p4: =======================================
Pochi, over here!

Okay, let’s practice hard for the cultural festival and keep improving, little by little!

Yeah!!

p5: =======================================
I’m serious, man. I’m telling you, I heard Pochi talk yesterday!

Really?

p6: =======================================
And he totally sounded like a girl! He was walking and talking with Ageha-chan yesterday—there anything going on there?
Dunno.

But you know, we’d like to hear Pochi’s voice, too.

Oh, I’ll make him talk for you! It’ll be seriously hilarious!
Really? Heh, then I can’t wait!

That voice…

p7: =======================================
[sfx]: Spin!
Oh, hey, Morikawa,
/ where you headed?!

[sign]: Band Club

[sfx]: Open!

p8: =======================================

Morikawa-kun?!

Oh, Ageha-chan!!

What…?!

You’re the pervert from yesterday!
[sfx]: Shiver!!
Please let us touch your boobs!!
[sfx]: Bow!

[sfx]: Trembling
Hey, we’re in the middle of practice right now, so could you please leave?

p9: =======================================
Yeah…
[sfx]: Glancing about
But give me a second first…

…

Huh…? Morikawa-kun…? Am I safe?
[sfx]: Bathump x2
He’s from my class; if he sees me dressed like this…

What is it?
[sfx]: Poke

Hey, Ageha-chan! You’re friends with Pochi, right? Do you know Pochi?

p10: =======================================
Huh?

Pochi’s right there.

Huh…? Me?
[sfx]: Sweating

Huh…? She’s…

[sfx]: Step

p11: =======================================
[sfx]: Grab

Huh…?

[sfx]: Bathump x3

p12: =======================================
Whoa!!

[sfx]: BATHUMP!

This can’t be…
My secret’s out?!

[sfx]: Bah!

p13: =======================================
Huh?! You’re kidding!! You’ve gotta be kidding me!
Huh? How so? She’s a girl.
No! Take a close look. He’s got makeup on, but that’s Pochi, right?

What is with you guys?! What business do you have with Pochi?!

We’re trying to practice…!

Huh? I mean, we…

Ahhh!!!

There’s something we need to do!

p14: =======================================
[sfx]: Grab

Let’s go!

Go on, say something! You sound like a girl,
/ so if you talk, they’ll be sure you’re a girl!
[sfx]: Whisper

O-Okay!
[sfx]: Whisper

Th-Then Kotori-chan, Tsubasa-chan, we’ll leave the rest to you!

p15: =======================================
That voice…
it’s the same as yesterday…

Huh…?
/ “Yesterday”?

I guarantee you that’s the voice I heard come out of Pochi yesterday!!
[sfx]: Wah!
Gyah hah hah!! Seriously?! You’re a queer?!

Huh? She looks like a regular girl to me!
/ Well, what? Is she really Pochi?

What in the world are you two saying?!
Pochi is our vocalist, and—

p16: =======================================
[sfx]: Frightened

N-No… They heard my voice…
while I was dressed as a guy?!

Pochi…! Pochi! Let’s run!
[sfx]: Hah!

[sfx]: Dash!!

p17: =======================================
Wait up!

[sfx]: Grab!

[sfx]: Yank!

S-Stop!!

[sfx]: Swoosh…

Huh…?!

p18: =======================================
P… Pochi…?!!
That hair…

Ah hah hah hah hah hah!!
Yeah, that’s Pochi all right! Damn, man!

p19: =======================================
I’ve never seen a real live queer before!!
Wow! It really is Pochi!

[sfx]: Grab!

[sfx]: Dash!

Hey!! Pochi!! Ageha!!
This is hilarious!!

[sfx]: Dash!

[sfx]: Slam!!

p20: =======================================
Y-You’re kidding. Pochi’s a boy? And based on how she responded…
Ageha knew…

I’m sorry…
It’s all my fault.

I’m sorry…

p21: =======================================
[sfx]: Sniff

Pochi, what are you going to do now? Go home?
/ If you go back to the classroom now, they’ll turn you into a laughingstock!
That doesn’t mean
I can just stop coming to school…

But Pochi! You hated the thought of your voice being laughed at so much that you jumped out of a window!
And now it’ll be worse! They might tease you for dressing like a girl, too!

I’m sorry… It’s all my fault—I’m so sorry!!
…

p22: =======================================
I… figured this day might come, sooner or later.
/ I’ve been getting myself ready for it.
I mean, I lied to everyone.

Pochi…

These months I’ve spent making music with you and the others have been wonderful!
/ So I don’t regret a second of it!
I just wonder…

[sfx]: Tears…

Will you all still let me
be in a band with you…?

p23: =======================================
[sfx]: Dash
Pochi!

Thank you,
Ageha-chan!

[sfx]: Run…

Pochi…

p24: =======================================
Wow, I had no idea Pochi was queer!!
/ Since when?!
[sfx]: Ahahahahaha
So you haven’t been talking because you’re ashamed of your voice?!
Crossdressing makes you one of those, right?!

…….
[sfx]: Chatter

p25: =======================================
I kept saying all those things about making people feel better through music,
but I brought nothing but misfortune to the guy right next to me…

I’m so pathetic…
[sfx]: Clench

Why am I such an idiot?!

29th: Stay Away!!

p2: =======================================
Why are you so bad with men?

Huh…?

Why would you…?

p3: =======================================
My world changed when you taught me the joys of music.
Ageha-chan, you saved me!

So I was hoping that, this time, maybe I could do something for you.

…

I never asked for your help!
[sfx]: Dash!
Ah—Wait, Ageha-chan!

p4: =======================================
*Sigh*…
What can I do for her?

I can’t think of anything!

I’m so useless!

G’morning, Pochi!
Heyya!

Hey, Pochi, one of these days you could at least say hello back to us.
Why’re you so fixated on never speaking?
/ What, are you like, you know—a mute? No, I don’t think that’s it.

[sfx]: Trickling

p6: =======================================
Right, Pochi.

Hey, talk to us!

Ah, he’s getting away!

p7: =======================================
[sfx]: Grab!

Harada, tickle him!
[sfx]: Struggle
Weh heh heh!

Hey, hey!!
[sfx]: Goochy-goo!

----------!!!

Can’t you see how much he hates that?!
[sfx]: Slide
Why don’t you cut that out?!!

p8: =======================================
[sfx]: Run

…Shit. Ageha just talked to me.
She’s so cute~!

Hey, hey, Ageha-chan!
[sfx]: Dash
Wait!

Ageha-chan… You struggle with boys, but you still saved me.
You saved me again…

[sign]: Girls’ Bathroom
[sfx]: Slam!

p9: =======================================
*Huff*
*Huff*

I’ll stay here until the bell rings and they all leave…
Argh! I felt so bad for Pochi that I had to speak up!

I-I was so scared!!
[sfx]: Scrunch!!

[sfx]: Shiver

p10: =======================================
I’m scared…
So, so scared…

[sfx]: Cheering

Oh, Ageha’s so cute.
Yeah, totally. And she’s got a huge rack.

Right?! I thought the same thing. Don’t you just wanna give ‘em a touch?! Heh.

Yeah, I get that! I just wanna feel them up!
/ Wanna do it?
Dude, you serious?

p11: =======================================
But I wanna touch them!
[sfx]: Cheers / Shake
…

How about this?

?

Huh…?
Isn’t that…

That’s Ageha-chan’s mother!

p12: =======================================
Oh, that’s right! Maybe Ageha-chan’s mother will know the reason why she hates men!

[insert]: Wait!

Ah! When I met her before, I was dressed as a girl!

[sign]: Marcy Mart

[sfx]: Whirr…

p13: =======================================
G-Good afternoon! Umm, you’re Ageha-chan’s mother, right?!

Oh, you’re Ageha’s friend!

I see. You’re playing in the band with her, right?
Yes!
I’m glad you’re having so much fun.

We are. But… umm…

?

p14: =======================================
Why does Ageha-chan struggle so much with men?
I’ve asked her, but she won’t tell me.

However,
if there was some way I could help her out…!

[sfx]: Freeze

Maybe it’d be okay to tell you.

p15: =======================================
Huh?

…You know, I’m not actually Ageha’s mother.
I’m her aunt, and currently her guardian.

Wh-Why are you…?
…

You see…

Ageha’s mother remarried.
Her new husband would hurt both her and Ageha.

Ageha was a kind girl, so she did all she could to protect her mother.

p16: =======================================
But no matter what she did, her stepfather was too strong for her.

By the time we realized, she’d been horribly scarred.
Back then,

she would break down if she so much as saw a man.

[sfx]: Clench

The two proceeded to divorce, but the wounds on Ageha’s mother’s heart were so deep that she’s still in the hospital.
So we’re watching over her daughter until she recovers.

p17: =======================================
So that’s why Ageha-chan’s always talking about writing a song
that can cheer a girl up.

We want to heal the scars on her heart, too.
But you can’t force something like this, you know? All we can do is gently watch over her.

However…

However, I’m so glad she’s met someone like you and that she’s enjoying herself!
[sfx]: Squeeze
Please continue to be her friend!

p18: =======================================
I will!

Ageha-chan…
So that’s why you struggle so much with men…

I might be a boy, but when that man came at me at the beach house with all his strength,
I was terrified.
[sfx]: Slam

That’s what Ageha-chan experienced, over and over again, within her own home.

p19: =======================================
Hm?

Huh? What are Harada-kun and Morikawa-kun doing there? Why would they…?

Dude, you serious?
This’s the quickest way!
Yeah, I know, but…

Oh, she’s here!

Huh?

Ageha-chan?! What are those two planning to do?

p10: =======================================
[sfx]: Bah!!

Please let us touch your boobs!!
[sfx]: Bow!

WHA?!?!
[sfx]: Trembling

HUH?!?!

p21: =======================================
Just a little! That’s all!!
We’re begging you, please!!
S-Stay away from me!!

Just a bit! It’ll only take a second!

Pochi?!

Huh?!
What the—?!

[sfx]: Grab!

p24: =======================================
[sfx]: Dash!

Pochi…!

Hey, wait!!

What are you two doing?!
Geh—shit! Let’s run!

*Huff*
*Huff*

p25: =======================================
[insert]: Ah!!

[sfx]: Shake!!

Ah!! Wawa! I-I’m sorry I grabbed your hand!!

Things were desperate, and you clearly hated it all, so I had to save you,
even though I’m dressed like a boy…
/ I-I’m sorry…

A-Ageha-chan…?
Are you all right?

p26: =======================================
I was so scared…
[sfx]: Tears
So, so scared!!

[sfx]: Scrunch!

A-Ageha-chan,
are you all right?

[sfx]: Squeeze…!!

!

p27: =======================================
I was so terrified…
This is why I hate men!

But it’s weird…
When you showed up, I felt relieved.

Ageha-chan…

p28: =======================================
Pochi,
thank you!

No,
let me thank you!

p29: =======================================
Heh heh.

Pochi, you’re barefoot.

I-I didn’t have time to put on shoes.

p30: =======================================
What was that voice? Did Pochi just talk?!
You’re kidding! He totally sounded like a girl!! Damn, that’s hilarious!

[sfx]: Snicker

28th: Reach Someone Else

p2: =======================================
[sign]: Band Club

[sfx]: Brumm… Brum….

…
[sfx]: Mngh.

p3: =======================================
[sfx]: Brumm

-----…!!

Argh!! There’s so much wrong with that!!
Huh?

Focus on the fundamentals!
/ Also, take care of your guitar!

I should probably write a new guitar melody for this part that Pochi can play…

Oh, I knew you’d think of something! Thanks for rewriting the scores!

I’m sorry that I haven’t practiced enough…

p4: =======================================
No; if anything, I’m impressed you’ve gotten this skilled, this fast.
But let me play around with things a little bit more!

O-Okay.

After school, there’s a place I want to take you!

?

p5: =======================================
[sign]: Music Shop

[sfx]: Whine

Ah!
Ageha-chan!

You brought a friend today?
Yes.
Good day.

p6: =======================================
Umm, where’s the storeowner?

[sfx]: Grin

Boss! Stop being a scaredy-cat and get out here!
Huh? I’ve got my own stuff to work on.

[sfx]: Ngh

p7: =======================================
Thank you very much!!!
[sfx]: Bow!

Oh, so you made it home. That’s good. See ya.

Boss! Argh! And to think you were worried sick about Ageha-chan the whole time! Why can’t you just be honest with yourself?!
Gweh!
[sfx]: Yank!

Ageha-chan, are these people friends of yours?

Yep. The storeowner’s the one who sent me to New York and trained me up!

Wow!

p8: =======================================
[sfx]: Tap

But what about the shop?
It’s fine. We’re not busy right now, anyways.
Right, Boss?

There’s nothing fine about it…

Dammit, what’d you do to this guitar? It’s all so…

So how was New York?

p9: =======================================
Well, the facility you introduced me to was absolutely wonderful,
and I made a bunch of new friends, and the bar where I was allowed to play was fantastic!

Was the old lady doing well?

Yes! She’s a friend of yours, right?
Well, when I was young, yeah.

Fuuka, hand her that one.
[sfx]: Point

Let me hear
how your guitar skills have come.

…Okay!

p10: =======================================
[sfx]: Strum

p11: =======================================
Ageha-chan really has gotten a lot better.
I’m just a beginner, but even I can tell! She’s that amazing!

p12: =======================================
………..

[sfx]: Jang

Incredible!

Eh heh heh…
[sfx]: Clap x2

[sfx]: Stand

Huh?

p13: =======================================
So you have gotten better.
[sfx]: Pat

[sfx]: Ruffle
Ms. Storeowner…!

[sfx]: Turn

By now, I figure you’ve surpassed that band you like.
Good luck. And aim for the stars.

p14: =======================================
That wasn’t what I was trying to—!

You’re talking about Heist, right?
That band is special to me! I can’t rank them like they’re just anyone—I mean…!

…Pft.

Ahahahaha!
[sfx]: Cackle
?!

Stop it! I can’t watch this go on any longer! Boss, can’t I tell them already?

No.

Oh, you’re such a child.
Huh? What are you…?

p15: =======================================
Ageha-chan, the guitarist you worship,
/ Heist’s Tenjou Hikaru,

is the owner of this store.

….Huh?
Huh?!!!

BWUHHHHH?!

p16: =======================================
I told you to be quiet! It isn’t that big a—
Y-You’re kidding!! That guitarist—she’s… her?! Awawawawawawawawawa

I’m terribly sorry for how out of line I was!!!

Oh, cut that out! You stupidhead!!! We were never something that special!
I mean, that song? We never sold it, and the band broke up, so we’re not the group some young kid like you should be idolizing!!

But-but-but that song of yours really cheered me up!
It was Heist that made me realize I wanted to play music,
/ to write songs that could cheer people up, too!

p17: =======================================
That’s what started me down this path!
/ Which means your band was amazing!!!

~~~!

Mweh heh heh

Quit it! Stop laughing!
But I mean, heh heh, I can see how happy you are.
Dargh!!

*Ding-dong*
/ *Ding-dong*
Hey!
/ There’s a customer in the shop!! Go do your job!!!

p18: =======================================
Okay!

[sfx]: Walk

------…
Dammit all.

~~~~~~~~~

p19: =======================================
Here! I fixed up your guitar!!!
[sfx]: Thrust!!!
Now go home, you kids!!!

Truly, thank you so, so much!
I… I…

*Sigh*

[sfx]: Fire!

[sfx]: Exhale

To think that song moved your heart that much…

?

p20: =======================================
I didn’t write that song to cheer up someone else.
I wrote it to cheer up me.

Huh?
/ Are you saying…

Our band played pretty complex stuff,
which meant the bigshot producers didn’t like it.

“You’re girls, so play something more flirtatious, and sing more cutely!”
they’d say.

“But screw that! Listen to my songs for what they are!” I thought.
/ “I can play as good as any man!”
That’s what led me to write that song.

Well, we wound up failing utterly.
The song went unsold, and the band broke up.

p21: =======================================
B-But still, even so, I—!

Weird, isn’t it, that the feelings I had back then wound up influencing you here and now?

[sfx]: Ping

[sfx]: Flip

p22: =======================================
Good luck with your music.
Make sure your feelings reach someone else out there.

--…
Yes, ma’am!!!

p23: =======================================
I can’t believe it. I just can’t believe it!
I’ve been learning guitar from the person I admired all this time!

Isn’t that wonderful, Ageha-chan?

Yeah! Is this a miracle?! Ohhh!

p24: =======================================
Okay! When we get back, let’s get back to focusing on writing!
/ A girl’s song for girls!
Weh heh heh!!!

A song for girls, huh?

Ageha-chan, you’ve completely forgotten I’m a boy, haven’t you? Heh.
[sfx]: Hah
?!

You’re right!!!
[sfx]: Hahaha

I mean, when you dress as a girl and start talking, I can’t help but see you as a girl!
/ Plus, you’ve got a small build, and you don’t act manly or anything.

p25: =======================================
So you really can’t handle me as a boy?

…I… don’t think so.

……….

Hey,
Ageha-chan?

p26: =======================================
Why are you so bad with men?

Huh…?

p1: ===============================
27th: So It Goes
[sfx]: Cheers

After Ageha-chan came back, the concert was a grand success.
And then…

p2: ===============================
[sfx]: Ding dang dong
[sign]: Band Club

I’m really, truly sorry!
[sfx]: Bow!

It’s fine, Ageha!

p3: ===============================
I keep coming and going without telling anyone… Please forgive me!!
There’s nothing to worry about, really! We trusted that you’d come back.
/ And besides, you’re leagues better at the guitar now. That’s great!
[sfx]: Nod x2
Your guitar’s amazing now.

How’d you do it?
/ It was like magic.

Eh heh heh… I sort’ve used summer break to take a solo trip to New York City to train... umm…
[sfx]: Fidgeting

HUH?! New York?! The heck?! What’s that supposed to mean?!
A-A bunch of stuff happened—I met this young lady who runs a guitar shop,
/ and she introduced me to this orphanage in New York, where I was allowed to stay for nearly a month, and…

W-Wow. What an adventure!!

p4: ===============================
Well, yeah!
Oh, right! Listen to this!

I was doing shows in this bar in New York to earn enough money to pay for a ticket home!
/ Isn’t that so cool?!
Wow!

And then, and then, I was super popular for the last week;
or rather, this nice old couple gave me a ton in tips, and…

How incredible. That must mean you’ve gotten that much better.

Although, since you joined in the middle of the performance,
we sort’ve broke the rules of the competition and were disqualified…

p5: ===============================
Oh well. So it goes.

I said I was sorry!!!
[sfx]: Ho ho ho ho!
Kotori’s having fun messing with Ageha… heh.
……….

p6: ===============================
But I’m glad. Now we’re all finally back together.
That means we can go back to making music as a whole!

Well, we need to put all of that behind us…

Because we’ve got the cultural festival coming up!

!!

p7: ===============================
The cultural festival, huh?
[sfx]: Stir

Pochi, go get me the usual.
[sfx]: Jingle

[sfx]: Nod x2

[sfx]: Trot

Is it just me, or has Pochi been in a good mood lately?
Yeah. But since he doesn’t talk, it’s hard to tell just what happened.

p8: ===============================
[sfx]: Place
[box]: Coffee

Oh.
/ Thanks.

[sfx]: Step

Ah.
He didn’t give me my change…

I’ll go to the bathroom~♪

Ah!!!

p9: ===============================
Shoot!! I’m still wearing the panties from when I was crossdressing earlier!!!
[sfx]: Ahh! / Ohh!
I forgot to bring any guys’ briefs today…

Oh well... I’ll just use a stall.
[sfx]: Totter

[sfx]: Slam!

[sign]: Keep the bathroom pristine!
[sfx]: Sigh

p10: ===============================
Pochi!
Give me my change!

Oh! It’s Tanaka-kun! I forgot to give him his change!
/ Umm, err…

*Knock*
*Knock*
Oh,
/ he’s on the toilet?

[sfx]: Panick
I have to finish quickly.

Hey, Tanaka, ahaha, what’re you doing?
I mean, he doesn’t talk, so who knows if it’s actually Pochi in there!
?

p11: ===============================
[sfx]: Grab!

Hey, Pochi?
Y-You’re going to come peek?!

Ah!!

The panties!!!

If they see them, I’m done for!!!
[sfx]: Aieeeeee
Gahhh!!! He’s wearing girls’ panties!
Yuck! You pervert!!

p12: ===============================
[sfx]: Clatter

Pochi?

[sfx]: Hutt

[sfx]: Flush!!

p13: ===============================
Pft

p14: ===============================
Ahahahahaha!!!
Dude, you take your pants all the way off to sit on the toilet?!

Ahahahaha!

And heck, you’re slippery smooth!!
Gah hah hah!!!

p15: ===============================
Oh, today was so embarrassing…
[insert]: Ahahaha / haha

And it’s not like I shave! Nothing’s grown in, that’s all!
/ *Sniff*

And then… Pochi, are you listening?

Huh?
/ Oh, s-sorry.

p16: ===============================
Argh!
/ I’m talking about the cultural festival!

What about outfits? Should we all match?

Yeah, let’s!
/ We haven’t really worried about outfits since we wore yukatas at the festival, so maybe it’ll be fun!

Something cute…!

Cute, huh…?

U-Uhh, I’d prefer something that didn’t show that much skin.

What are you saying, Pochi?!
/ You have such a nice figure, and your legs are so pretty.
Don’t worry about that stuff!

p17: ===============================
Hmm… I guess I don’t really want to wear something that revealing, either.

[sfx]: Tiptoe…

Eeek!!
[sfx]: Flip!

Argh!
[sfx]: Blehhhhh
But you two have such great bodies!

p18: ===============================
Argh!
Kotori!

You’ve got a pretty big rack there yourself!
/ Why don’t I feel them up?!
Nope! You won’t be touching mine! Tee hee.

*Vibrate*

[sfx]: Turn
My cellphone rang? Did I get a text? …Oh, it’s just spam.

Pochi, you’re wide open!!!
[sfx]: Jump!!

p19: ===============================
[sfx]: Flip

Huh?

Wah!

p20: ===============================
[sfx]: Flustered
Th-There’s a perfectly reasonable explanation for this!!!

Bwahahahaha!!! Going commando?! Why?! Heheheheh.
Pochi, you…

Commando in a miniskirt…
/ Kind of amazing…

I-I said it’s not like that!!!
[sfx]: Kaaahhhh!

p21: ===============================
Wah!!!
/ It’s all a misunderstanding!!!

By the way, the panties got wet when I was trying to hide them,
so I brought them home in a vinyl bag.

What’s wrong, Pochi?! We’ve already reached the melody!

[sfx]: Trembling

[sfx]: Stir
Isn’t their intro a bit long?

Huh…? What’s going on? From the sound of it, she should’ve already started singing…
[sfx]: Step
Is there some problem with the equipment?

Nyoh hoh hoh! She must’ve fallen to the pwessure!

That’s me order!! Undahstand?
O-Okay!!

p4: ===============================
It’s taking way too long to get to the vocals, heh.

She’s just not singing.
This all an act? Regardless, they’re just so-so, heh.

Pochi!!
What’s wrong?!

Kotori-chan…

What do I do…?
/ I… I think it might be over…

Huh…?

[sfx]: Freeze

Huh? What’s wrong?

[sfx]: Stop

[sfx]: Silence

[sfx]: Stir

Maybe there really is some problem?
Shall I go take a look?

Wait!

Huh? Are you sure?
Just do it!

25th: Go for Broke

p2: ===============================
How’s this year’s concert coming along?
There don’t seem to be any standout newcomers this year.
But, well, it’s not like such groups are a dime a dozen.

[sfx]: Flap

Ten years of playing gigs, huh? Don’t they send us an application every year?
/ Well, not that they make it in. Hahaha.

As for the other bands…

“Sora”?
Anyone heard of them?

Don’t look at me…

p3: ===============================
They’ve barely performed any gigs; we’ll have to listen to them and then decide.
But given how little experience they have, I’m not hopeful.
Well, I can’t say I dislike young girls willing to get themselves in over their heads, heh.

The kind who go for broke? Hahaha.

[sfx]: Open!

?!
M-Michael-san! Why are you here?!!

You’re decwiding who gets to pway in the concert?
Yes. But right now, we’re just going over the documents.
But what brings you here? This isn’t the sort of contest a popular idol like yourself would be interested in.

Let the band Sora play.

Huh? “Sora”? Wh-Where’d that come from?

p4: ===============================
Don’t wowwy about it!! They have me seal of appwoval! So shut up and let them pway!

O-Okay, if you insist…

Hmph! Dat is gweat!
Honyoh honyoh Honyoh!

Second semester

Huh?!
[sign]: Band Club

p5: ===============================
Ageha’s not even coming to school?!

It seems that way…

She hasn’t said anything to me lately, and the concert tryouts are coming up so soon…
/ Will she make it in time?!

Going to be only us three at tryouts…?

If Ageha doesn’t make it back, then yes.
We pulled off the gigs as just the three of us, but the tryouts will be…

[sfx]: Clench
………

You’re worried, too?
I guess we’re going for broke?

…Ageha-chan…

p6: ===============================
September 10th.

Concert Tryouts.

p7: ===============================
And then,

on the day the results were announced:
[sign]: Band Club

[sfx]: Rip

You’re kidding!
We passed…!

We passed the tryouts!!!

p8: ===============================
We did it!!
[sfx]: Yay!!

Hey! Isn’t this amazing?!
/ Even without Ageha, we made it this far!! That’s awesome!

Thank goodness!

[sfx]: Squeal

[sfx]: Ding

[sfx]: Whine

p9: ===============================
What do you think?
About the band Sora?

Personally, I don’t really think they’re good enough to perform at our concert. Oh, their vocalist is amazing, but the performance as a whole is…
But they’re still young. Why not watch them for a little while longer, then put them on the big stage?

We don’t have much of a choice. The only way Michael-san would do it is if we let Sora play.
/ And hers is an offer we can’t refuse.

*Sigh*…
I know, but…

[sfx]: Whine
…….

p10: ===============================
[sfx]: Sip

Michael-san, they agreed to our request regarding the concert.
Nyoh.

Umm, I know it isn’t my place to ask,
/ but why do you see the need to go to such an extent?

Mind your own bwisness!
/ Me is vewy, vewy mad!
[sfx]: Jump!
M-My apologies.

p11: ===============================
*Sigh*
[sfx]: Lean back

They’ll be beaten so bwack and bwue, they’ll nevah show their faces in the music bwisness ever again!
They’ll regwet having angered me!!

The day of the concert

[sfx]: Cheers
[fans]: Po / chi

p12: ===============================
Oh, I was afraid of this… I can’t get a hold of Ageha-chan.

She was so looking forward to this performance; I want to go up there with her.

If I can at least get her to respond to a text…
[sfx]: Click x2

Pochi? Hurry up!
Oh! C-Coming!!

[both signs]: moon black / performers’ waiting room

[sfx]: Bathump x2

You’re nervous, too?
[sfx]: Nod x2

p13: ===============================
What happens in this concert could massively change our destinies…
P-Please don’t try to scare me!

I’m sorry. But that’s just how important this is! So let’s get fired up and give this our all!

Yeah!

[sfx]: Glance…

Ageha…?
!

[sfx]: Trembling

I guess… In the end, Ageha’s not going to make it?
/ Does she not want to perform with us anymore?

p14: ===============================
Pochi!
!
[sfx]: Grab!!

Believe in Ageha! She’ll come back! Even if she doesn’t make it in time for this gig,
let’s do so well that we’ll shock her when she finds out!!

Kotori-chan…
/ Yeah! Let’s!!

It’s almost time to go…

Let’s give it 100%!!

YEAH!!

p15: ===============================
[sfx]: Cheers / Chatter

Welcome to Moon Black 14!!
/ Which band will win this year and claim the guest spot in the Wing Sony rock festival?!
Time to find out! Let’s raise the curtain on this show!!
[sfx]: Cheers

They’re starting…!

The first group

The second group

The third group

p16: ===============================
[sfx]: Murmuring
They’re all pretty good this year.
Who do I vote for?

Every one of those bands is so incredible!! Are we good enough to go out there?
[sfx]: Bathump x2

We’re up next! Let’s do our best!
Yeah!

[sfx]: Step

Oh, what a surprise! In order to help liven up the event,
we have a special guest for you tonight!

Huh?

Please welcome Michael Gabriel!!!
[sfx]: Blam!!

p17: ===============================
Huh?! You’re kidding!! Michael’s here?!
[sfx]: Stir
Micha’s going to play here?! That’s so cool!!
Eeeeek!! Michael!!

M-Michael?!
[sfx]: Wah!
Why are you here?!!!

Nyoh nyoh! Yahoo! How’s evwyone doing?

What…? Why…?

[sfx]: Jah-jang

[sfx]: Inhale

p18: ===============================
~~~~~~~~~!!
Whoa!
Pro singers really are something else!
She’s blown everything we’ve heard up till now out of the water!

[sfx]: Cheers!!

The entire hall’s gotten more excited than they’ve ever been!!
We’re supposed to follow that act?!

Michael’s trying to harass us!
She wants to get us down by showing us how much better she is!

p19: ===============================
But we’ve grown! We’re better than when we were the last time she heard us!
/ So don’t let her win! Let’s do this!!

K-Kotori-chan…
/ Y-Yeah! You’re right! Michael’s performance isn’t even competing with ours!

[sfx]: Strum…

[insert]: Mnah…
[insert]: Zzz…

p7: ===============================
It made for a good lullaby for all of them,
maybe because it’s such a gentle piece.

However…

[sfx]: Rustle

When the two of them played it at the bar, it felt different somehow.
Was it because they were a duo? When I play, it doesn’t feel as profound, or…

But I’m pretty sure I’m playing what’s written on the score…

Tuesday

[sfx]: Chatter

<<Oh, guess this was the wrong day to come.>>
<<What’s wrong?>>

Pochi,
/ you all right…?
I-I’m fine!
/ The guitar’s kind of tricky. I’ve been playing every day lately, but I’ve barely got the chords down…

I’m sorry.

Not a chance!! Pochi, we need you on guitar going forwards,

Remember earlier, when we talked about playing in a big concert?

Huh?
/ Aren’t the tryout and the concert—

The tryout’s on September 10th; the concert’s on September 27th.
/ Today is August 7th. Which means…
There’s only about one month left until the audition!!

Huh?!! B-But that’s no time at all!

Yeah. If Ageha hadn’t gotten so depressed and taken a leave of absence from the band,
the plan was for us all to work here, build up some funds, get experience playing in small clubs, and then go for broke with the audition.

p9: =================================
What’d Ageha say?

That she didn’t know when she’d be coming back.

……

…--

But she did promise she would return!!

------…
/ Ageha-chan…

p10: =================================
So let’s trust her. Until she’s back, let’s have the three of us play in clubs as Sora,
and try to gather as much recognition and fans as we can before the September 10th tryout!!

Can we win…?

Honestly,
/ I don’t know.

But trying out
/ costs us nothing.
Besides, on the ‘Net right now, Pochi’s songs are on fire.
/ I don’t want to let this chance slip by!!

p11: =================================
H-Hey, Kotori-chan,
/ do we really get anything out of being in that concert?

The most popular band at the concert…
gets the guest slot in Wing Sony, a rock festival!!

!!

Wing Sony…!!
/ If we play at such a huge concert as that, it’ll put us on the verge of a major debut!!
--So you’re saying that record company people might come to check us out?
/ Is that it?

Yep!!

A professional debut…!!

p12: =================================
Just quit dat band
and join me own band!!

[sfx]: Clench

If we do play in that concert, and people like us,
I’ll be known by tons of people as Sora’s vocalist!!

And then, even Michael..

Even she’ll have to admit we’re good!!

[sfx]: Giggle

p13: =================================
…Let’s do it.

Pochi…

Let’s play in that concert, come in first, do a show at the rock festival,
and professionally debut together!!

Kotori-chan, I—
I’ll follow you all the way!!

Pochi…!!

Yeah.

I’m not opposed, either.

But…
Kotori, it’s not like you to push for something like this.

Well, I guess… I can’t really get what Michael said to us
out of my head, either.

p15: =================================
It really pisses me off…!!
The sooner we debut, the better. Then we’ll show her who’s boss!!

I said you’re wasting your time, doing that.

!!

[sfx]: Slam!

Then why don’t you just teach me how to play?!
I mean, I can tell!!

After listening to this CD so many times that I’m sick of it,
I can tell that I can’t play! That there’s a thousand things I lack!!

But right now, all I can do is try to imitate how awesome they are—
No, I can’t even imitate them.

p7: =====================================
I don’t have the slightest idea what I’m supposed to do!!
Please, help me!!

[sfx]: Exhale

Strum by yourself all you want—right now, it won’t change a thing.

But even so, not being able to play is just…!!

p8: =====================================
When you listen to that CD, what do you think they have
that you lack?

Huh…?
/ W-Well, there’s technique, and taste…
And then there’s…

Passion!

Passion, huh…? Is that all?
Do you really get it?

I-I mean… The feelings I have towards my music and my guitar—
I’m confident those, at least, are second to none!!

p9: =====================================
[sfx]: Grin

Really?
Are you sure you have the confidence to handle the guitar?

O-Of course I do!!

Would you risk your life for music?

M-My life?

Pochi, the yakisoba!

What was with that guy
just now?

[sfx]: Whoosh…

[sfx]: Whoosh…

[sfx]: Bwahhh!!

Pochi!! Are you all right?!

I-I was so scared.
Wahhnn!!

p22: =====================================
You were so late getting back that we came to look for you…

And then we found one of your beach sandals on the way.

We thought that was weird, so…

That bastard,
/ attacking Pochi!!
[sfx]: There, there.

Yeah, seriously!!
This is why men are the worst!!

I was so, so scared…
Is this the kind of fear girls have to put up with?

p23: =====================================
What happened in the past that terrified Ageha-chan so much
/ that she startles whenever a man is anywhere near her?

Are you all right? Can you stand?
Yeah…

Ageha-chan…
Where are you right now?

p1: ====================================
18th: She Has Her Own

p2: ====================================
Summer break had arrived.
Which meant that we…

Pochi!

Ah!

Kotori-chan,
/ Tsubasa-chan!
Thanks for waiting!
/ Ready to go?

p3: ====================================
Y-Yeah…
U-Uhh…
/ What about Ageha-chan?

[sfx]: Shake x2

No luck. She won’t answer her phone; and when I text her, she just says “I’m sorry.”

Oh…

Well, I’m sure she has her own plan.

But let’s do everything that we can so that, whenever Ageha does return, we’ll be ready!!

p4: ====================================
A Sora without Ageha-chan…?
I’m worried, but Kotori-chan’s right. Ageha-chan must have her own plan.
So I have to stay strong,
/ in my own way!!

-----…
Yeah.

So then…

Let’s go
/ to our summer break work & training camp!!
[sfx]: Blam

p5: ====================================
[sfx]: Rumble…

And that’s how we all went to the bed-and-breakfast owned by Kotori-chan’s aunt
[sfx]: Rumble…
to work as live-in staff.

[sfx]: Whoosh

We brought our instruments, too,
so that we could practice while we were there.

However, Ageha-chan wasn’t with us.

p6: ====================================
*Sigh*… While Ageha was gone,
would I be able to keep secret from Kotori-chan and Tsubasa-chan that I’m a guy?

Up until now,
Ageha-chan had given me so much support…

[sfx]: Zzz…

I…
was so nervous…
[sfx]: Bathump x2

p7: ====================================
[sfx]: Vroom…

Wow…
It’s so big!!

[sfx]: Slide

!!
Auntie!

p8: ====================================
Kotori-chan!!
Long time no see!!

[sfx]: Hug!
Too long!

Thanks for letting us stay here.
And thank you for coming! You’re going to be lifesavers!

I don’t mean to rush, but could you do a job for me?
Sure!
/ Just let us put away our luggage first!

Great! ♡
Then change into these, okay? ♡

?

p9: ====================================
[sfx]: Swish…

[sfx]: Chatter

[sfx]: Chatter

[sign]: Beach

One order of yakisoba!!
Okay!

p10: ====================================
On it!

So the job’s working at a beach house.

I set up a beach house nearby during the summer.
Thanks for working it! ♡

Thank goodness she had a swimsuit with a skirt.
[sfx]: Yank
Not that this is any less embarrassing…

Pochi!!
We need more yakisoba!

[sfx]: Boing

p11: ====================================
Wah!!

Oh, sorry!! I’ll get right on—
[sfx]: Bah!

[sfx]: Boop

Next, frankfurters.
/ Cook them!

p12: ====================================
Y-Yeah!!
[sfx]: Bah!!

[sfx]: Glance

[sfx]: Glance

There’s girls in swimsuits every which way…
[sfx]: Sizzle
Where am I supposed to look?!!

p13: ====================================
[sfx]: Sizzzzllleeee…

[sfx]: Thwump!!
!!

Pochi!!

p14: ====================================
[sfx]: Blink

Where am I…?
[sfx]: Flicker
The inn…?

Are you awake, Pochi?
/ You collapsed from heatstroke.
Tomorrow,
/ wear a hat, and have water, and be careful, and…

I-I’m sorry…

It’s fine, it’s all fine.
/ I’m the one who dragged you all the way out here.
/ How are you feeling? Better now?
Y-Yeah!
/ I’m feeling great!
[sfx]: Flap

p15: ====================================
Okay. That’s great!
/ In that case, want to start practicing?

Huh?

There’s a shed a little ways out from here
/ that my aunt said we could use!!

And I…
can hit my drums!

But we’ll be playing without Ageha-chan…

[sfx]: Clench

Y-Yeah! Let’s practice!!

Okay.
That settles it. ♡

p16: ====================================
Whoa.
It’s so dusty…

Wow!! I can see the sun setting!
This place is wonderful!

Yeah!

Pochi?
Huh?

Why don’t you…
learn the guitar, too?

p17: ====================================
Huh?! Me?
You want me to?!

Yeah. It’ll help support the melody until Ageha gets back;
and once she does, I figure there’s no downside to having an extra guitar.

But still…

If you give it a shot and it just doesn’t work, we can rethink things,
but I don’t think there’s any harm in trying.

……..

If that’ll let me do just a little bit more
to help Ageha-chan…

p18: ====================================
Okay!!
I’ll give it a shot!!

Thank you,
/ Pochi.

[sfx]: Slide

p19: ====================================
At the time, I didn’t really understand Kotori-chan’s plan.

I had no idea
what she was anticipating.

[sfx]: Strum

17th: No Playing the Guitar!!

p2: ====================================
Could you stop playing the guitar?

Huh?!

H-How can you say that? I mean, sure, I’m not that good…

But I love music as much as anybody!!

p3: ====================================
You’re not that bad. You’ve got the general idea.
But technique will take care of itself.

Your guitar.
/ Let me see it.

Huh?
My guitar?

[sfx]: Jang
[sfx]: Inhale

p4: ====================================
Huh?!

[sfx]: Strum / Ja-jang

p5: ====================================
This sound, the tone of the guitar… I’m sure of it.
It’s the same song I’ve heard over and over again!!

H… How do you make it…
sound like that…?!

[sfx]: Slowly

[sfx]: Smile

p6: ====================================
Copying that
is something you can do easily enough.

---But you know,
/ there’s more to the guitar than that.
What do you mean?

[sfx]: Grin

p7: ====================================
Until you figure that out,
no playing the guitar!!
[sfx]: Pat

Huh?

[sfx]: Tap

See ya.

Good luck!
Wait!!

p9: ====================================
[sign]: Band Club

[sfx]: Tap

It’s done!!

?
What is?

Heh heh heh♪ I have the perfect plan…

?

p10: ====================================
Wasn’t what Michael said to us so frustrating?!!
And I can’t believe she’s trying to take Pochi!!
*Nod*
/ *Nod*

So we’ll perform at an audition concert, immediately debut,
and we’ll make the whole world know that Pochi is Sora’s vocalist!!

Wow.
But an audition concert? Aren’t there lots of hurdles?

[sfx]: Pound!

p11: ====================================
I made Sora’s homepage!
I put up some links to Pochi’s videos, and we’re starting to get visitors!!

Wow!

I actually wanted to upload some original music here, too,
but with the way Ageha is right now…

Still, given this,
I think maybe we can get people to come see us if we’re playing at a small club!!

The only tricky part is the initial costs...
Like, how do we deal with the ticket fees?

But we’ve got summer break coming up, right?

Yeah, yeah.

So let’s all
[sfx]: Bam
get a job!!

p12: ====================================
Ohhhh.

My aunt said she’s looking for help during the busy summer months!
If the four of us all work there,
/ we should earn enough to cover the initial fees!!

Then we’ll do gig after gig, build up our strength,
and aim for the audition concert!!

Th-That’s incredible, Kotori-chan!!
/ B-But I’ve never had a job before, so I don’t know if I’ll…

You’ll be fine!!
I mean, we’ll be working at my aunt’s place!

p13: ====================================
[sfx]: Slide

[sfx]: Slowly

Oh, Ageha!!
We were just talking, and…

[sfx]: Thump

I’m briefly…
going to stop playing the guitar.

p14: ====================================
Huh?!

What?! Ageha, don’t let what Michael said get you down…

[sfx]: Slowly

AGEHA!!
[sfx]: Step x2

………

p15: ====================================
What do we do?

…

…

Ageha-chan…

p16: ====================================
[sfx]: Whine…

……

Weren’t you never coming here again?
Where is she?

The boss? She’s not coming in today.

Please, tell me about her.

p17: ====================================
Oh, I couldn’t. I barely know her.
You should ask her yourself.

[sfx]: Glum…

What’d she say to you this time?
Huh? Umm, it’s kind of complicated, but…

She listened to me play…
and said I should stop…

p18: ====================================
Pfth.

Ahhh hah hah hah hah!

H-Hey. Don’t laugh!!
I’m sorry.

---Oh, but still, if she’s even talking to you about the guitar,
it means you’ve managed to catch her eye.

Huh?

Okay. I’ll help, too.
/ You like music, right?

p19: ====================================
Y…
/ Yes!!

[sfx]: Slowly

These here? They’re the CDs of guitarists
/ that the boss thinks are godly.

Wow…

Give them a listen
and think about what you feel.

This song is my goal.
/ I want to write music like this,
music that can cheer the hearts of girls everywhere.

You know a lot about this band?
Huh? Well, umm…

There was a year and a half

again and again and again…

p5: ====================================
Honestly, at the time, I wanted nothing more than to find out more about the band.
However,
/ I couldn’t, because… I just couldn’t.

[sfx]: Squeeze

By the time I got outside,

Heh heh…

Well…

Shut it.

Right now, Michael-san is a member of the band Angel Ring.
She composes, writes lyrics, sings, and plays the guitar while four elite musicians fill the remaining parts.

As such, we’ve been searching for a vocalist whose voice can match hers.
