Thanks for coming to see us off!

No problem. It's our pleasure.

Many thanks for all of your support, as well.

Our sleepover was so much fun!

Especially the pillow fight! That was intense!

I was impressed by Lanzhu's sheet-fitting technique. Amazing skills.

Yeah, maybe she'd consider working for us part-time?

Ha ha ha! You should ask her, seriously. I guarantee she'll take you up on the offer.

Don't get any ideas about relying on Lanzhu just so you can goof off, Chika.

I wouldn't dream of it!

…Well, maybe a little.

Chika, you're hopeless. What're we going to do with you?

Oh, look at the time. We'd better get going.

Here. If you like, you can drink this on the train.

I was just thinking about how thirsty I am, zura. Thanks, Ayumu!

No prob! Come see us again soon!

Safe travels! Bye-bye!

[Fade in/out.]

That was the best weekend ever.

Yup. As fun as meeting online can be, it's nothing compared to getting together in real life.

*Giggle* You've got that right.

You know, that was a really great festival, wasn't it? Felt like everyone in the area got together and had a good time.

Yeah, although I couldn't help but be a little jealous.

I'd love to see you sing at a festival like that one, Ayumu.

What?! I-I wonder if I'd be up to the task…

Well, I'd be there to support you! You know?

In that case… I'll do my best. If I ever get the opportunity, that is.

[Fade in/out. On the phone.]

Whoa, Setsuna. Have you been talking with your mom the whole time since we got home?

*Chuckle* Yeah. Neither of us could stop.

That's so like you, Setsuna. But I'm the same way. I started chatting with Haruka the second I got in the door.

I wish we could take part in a live show like that, don't you?

Yeah, I know what you mean. Aqours is so lucky they're a town fixture and all the locals love them.

I want us to be loved by the people of Odaiba!

We'll just have to work that much harder every day, and make it happen!

Yeah!

Let's get started right away, tomorrow!

[Fade in/out.]

Ah, so the delinquent has come home. I see you've turned into the kinda bad kid who stays out all night causing trouble.

Please don't say things like that. It wouldn't do if someone overheard. I had full permission, Kaoruko.

Where'd you go, anyway?

To the Daikoku Festival at Kanda Shrine.

Whoa, they hold a festival at Kanda Shrine at this time of year?

They do. A very large one with all sorts of traditional events, in fact.

I wish I could've gone too…

And this year, μ's performed there.

What?! That's important information! You should've told me that up front!

I apologize. I knew it was happening, but I…

Being a teacher is a ton of work… I deserve at least a little joy…

Umm, I've got a video of the concert, if you'd care to watch that?

Wow, really?! Lemme see!

Oh, and… I brought home souvenirs…

Wow! Okonomiyaki, yakisoba, takoyaki… And cotton candy, corn dogs, yakitori…

You only got 3,000 yen for your allowance, and you still bought all this stuff for me?! You are such a sweet kid!

Hey…! K-Kaoruko, I can't breathe! You're crushing me!

I'll never let you go!

[Fade in/out.]

Phew, what a nice bath…

Huh? Are they both asleep?

Yup. They must have been tuckered out from all the fun they had.

I'd feel bad about waking them up… Let's just let them sleep here.

I've got a couple of spare futons. Let me go and get them.

Oh, thank you.

Also…

Yes?

Can I sleep in your room tonight too, Karin?

This whole weekend has been so hectic, I just…

*Chuckle* Sure you can. Don't forget to bring a pillow.

Okay!
