Shouldn't we get a move on, Shizuku? The Theater Club's play will be starting soon.

Yes! It's sure to be busy, so we'll have to get there a bit earlier to get seats.

Is it really okay to leave the maid café to Kotori and the others, though?

They told us that it's okay for us to go see the play, so we should probably take their word for it, right?

Let's come back to lend them a hand once the play is over.

Yes! Good idea.

Maki! Shizuku!

Riko!

Oh, Riko!

*Huff* *Pant* Thank you both for coming! I'm sorry, but I'm in a bit of a rush right now…

Did something happen?

The truth is… I was planning to play the piano to assist with the Theater Club's play, but…

[Fade in/out.]

The rest of the club members are stuck somewhere else?!

There's another drama festival being held at a different venue today, and they were planning to get the train back here after they performed there.

But apparently, their train has stopped.

Oh no! Is there any way that they could make it back in time?

Even if they tried their best to hurry, they're still over an hour away. I don't think it's possible.

The venue is fully packed, and I feel bad for all of the audience members looking forward to the play, but I'm just going to have to cancel it.

………

…Riko, do you have the script with you?

Huh? Well, of course.

Just give me a little bit of time!

Okay, but…

I'm just going to borrow it, okay? Hmm, yes… Okay, I see… This looks doable.

Thank you. I've memorized all of it.

In such a short period of time?!

You were flipping through the script in a flurry.

It's quite an interesting story. It would be a waste to cancel the play!

But what other choice do I have if none of the other club members are here?

You can't give up on it just yet!

Sh-Shizuku?

I have an idea!
