Kanon
Hmmm, it's kind of hard to feel the rhythm in this part... And this is...
Rinko
Matsubara-san... Are you not eating lunch today...?
Kanon
Huh...? Ah, I didn't realize!
Kanon
Thanks, Rinko-chan! I totally would have missed out on eating lunch~.
Rinko
No problem... By the way... what is that score...?
Kanon
This is what I'm going to be playing for my upcoming street performance. The show is next week, and I'll be a mess if I don't go over the music.
Rinko
I see... So your band's next concert... will be a street performance...
Kanon
Ah, not exactly. The other members won't be joining me. I've decided that it will only be Arisa-chan and myself.
Rinko
You and... Ichigaya-san...?
Kanon
A street performance was held at the station the other day, and when we watched it together...
Rinko
Interesting... So that is what happened... In other words... you hope to finally see... what you couldn't... during that performance on long ago...
Kanon
Yeah. The one I held with Kokoro-chan is important to me because it was my gateway to joining the band.
Kanon
I feel like it's a waste to not know what I missed out on.
Kanon
And I feel like seeing it with my own eyes can be another way for me to grow as a person.
Rinko
I understand... exactly how you feel...
Kanon
You do, Rinko-chan?
Rinko
When I was a child... I participated in... a piano competition...
Kanon
Mhm, I remember hearing all about that.
Rinko
Yes... So I hoped to... once again stand on that stage... so I could face myself as a person...
Rinko
Even now... I find myself... unable to forget that day... What I saw after my performance... was completely different from when I first began to play...
Kanon
I think I understand that feeling. I'm always incredibly nervous when I take the stage.
Kanon
But the more I play, the more exciting it gets. And before long, I catch myself with a smile on my face.
Kanon
It's at that moment when everything seems completely different from when I entered the venue.
Kanon
I'm hoping that is what I'll see during this upcoming street performance as well~.
Rinko
I believe... you will find what you're looking for...
Rinko
What pulled me through... my piano competition... was all of the people... there around me...
Rinko
Thanks to their support... I was able to take in that sight...
Rinko
Matsubara-san... are there any people... who are currently... supporting the idea of your performance...?
Kanon
Uh-huh! My bandmates, Arisa-chan, and a bunch of others are all backing me up.
Rinko
Fufu... Then you will be perfectly fine... I believe... they will be right behind you... all the way through the show itself...
Rinko
... Th-that includes me... of course...
Kanon
Rinko-chan...
Kanon
Yes, thank you. I'm going to make sure it all goes well!
Rinko
Great... Please do your best... I am looking forward to...hearing you play...

Rinko
Ah... BanG Dreamer-san... Good afternoon...
Rinko
I see... You must have been busy... buying so many new supplies...
Rinko
I came... to practice with... the rest of Roselia... but it looks like I am a tad early...
Rinko
... Huh? Oh... You're referring to... their street performance...?
Rinko
... Yes. I... did end up going...
Rinko
I think it was... an amazing show...
Rinko
The audience was... very much enjoying themselves... as was Ichigaya-san... when she was playing...
Rinko
I feel as though... Ichigaya-san... without a doubt... saw something special... on that day...
Rinko
Challenging oneself... and overcoming new obstacles... I believe... that is an opportunity to... rediscover oneself...
Rinko
However... facing that challenge... requires an... incredible amount of courage...
Rinko
I have experience with that... but doing so... on a public stage... is very frightening indeed...
Rinko
Nevertheless... Ichigaya-san persevered... and I think... that is wonderful...
Rinko
Which is why... she had such a lovely expression on her face... after the performance... was said and done...
Rinko
I do not know... what other challenges... await her... in the future...
Rinko
But I feel... that the strides she undertakes... will be even greater... than those that brought her here...
Rinko
Yes... You are right... I also believe that... I should follow her lead... and try harder than ever before...
Rinko
Ah... A message from Ako-chan... Fufu... I believe they have arrived...
Rinko
Excuse me, BanG Dreamer-san... I must be going...
