Rinko
Ako-chan, if you don't wake up soon... preparation for breakfast will be over...
Ako
Mmm, no~... I'll help make breakfast~... Yawn~...
Lisa
Ahaha. That was an amazing yawn, Ako!
Ako
Mm~, it's because I'm sleepy~.
Lisa
It may be morning, but that's no excuse to be so careless~. Aww, Ako was so dependable last night, I wonder what happened~.
Sayo
Imai-san, if you are going to wake up Udagawa-san, you need to do so properly.
Lisa
Sorry. Ako's just so cute when she wakes up, I couldn't help myself~.
Ako
Yawn...
Yukina
You still seem tired. Were you not able to sleep very much yesterday?
Lisa
I think you were the only one to fall asleep right away, Yukina...
Rinko
There was... a lot going on yesterday, after all...
Lisa
Well, the ghost ended up being just a series of misunderstandings, but it still made me so happy when Ako tried to protect me.
Ako
Hrm~... Yawn. Lisa-nee, are you talking about me right now?
Lisa
Yes, I am☆ I was talking about when there was a knock on the front door during the power outage. Thanks again, Ako.
Ako
Ehehe, so you're talking about what happened yesterday... Was I cool?
Lisa
You were super cool! You were kinda like Tomoe ☆
Ako
Really?! Have I gotten a little closer to being like my sister?
Lisa
Yeah, you have☆ Yesterday, you were saying how you thought about what Tomoe would've done, right?
Lisa
You might've seemed like Tomoe because of that~.
Ako
Wow! Yay~!
Rinko
Ako-chan, you were... so cool at the time...
Ako
Thank you too, Rin-rin! It's all thanks to imitating my sister!
Ako
... Ah! That means... if I keep imitating her, I might always be cool like her!
Sayo
Your logic... makes me wonder.
Ako
If I try it out, we'll see! Okay, I'll get right to it...
Ako
Lisa-nee! I'll help out with making breakfast! My sister always helps out with that at home~.
Lisa
Looks like you've really woken up now~. Well then, help me brew the tea ♪
Ako
Okay! Umm, where's the teapot and cups~...?
Lisa
Sorry, I'll get them from the shelf now! ... Here, use these!
Ako
Okay. Umm, first, you put the tea leaves in the pot... Ah, I have to boil the water before that!
Lisa
I'm sorry! I just started boiling some water, so just wait a bit!
Ako
What, you already made it? You're too quick, Lisa-nee~.
Ako
In that case, I~... need to put the tea leaves in the teapot! Umm~, how much did I need to put in?
Sayo
If you're using that teapot, I believe three teaspoons would suffice.
Ako
Really? That's just like you, Sayo-san. You know a lot about everything!
Sayo
No, that is not the case... That is simply what was written on the package of tea leaves.
Ako
Ah, you're right! In that case, I need a teaspoon~... Where could the teaspoons be?
Lisa
Ako, here's a teaspoon.
Ako
Wow, thanks, Lisa-nee! I'll put in one, two, three teaspoons of tea leaves... Good to go!
Ako
Fufufu, until the dark flames of the abyss take the water in the kettle and... umm... make it piping hot, there's nothing else for me to do but...
Ako
... Ah, that's right! I need to get sugar and milk! Lisa-nee, where's your sugar?
Lisa
Sugar? In that case, Sayo took it along with the milk...
Sayo
I thought it might be needed when brewing the tea, so I brought it to the table.
Ako
What?! Sayo-san, you do things too quickly~!
Sayo
Have I done something that was uncalled for...?
Lisa
Ahaha. Ako's saying she wanted to get the sugar and milk ready ♪
Ako
Come on, why did you both do things before I could?! And here I was hoping to be like my sister and make breakfast~...!
Lisa
I mean, we weren't doing it to be mean or anything. It's just~...
Sayo
We could not leave you be while seeing you work so hard...
Lisa
We just naturally feel like doing things for you~.
Yukina
Ako, there is something about you that makes those around you instinctively want to lend you a hand.
Ako
What~?! But I wanted to be cool~!
Rinko
I think making people want to lend you a hand... is one of your good points, Ako-chan...
Ako
Ohh, not you too, Rin-rin! I guess acting like my sister the whole time is pretty hard...
Ako
But I definitely won't give up! I'll keep doing my best until I'm super cool someday!

Ako
Hello, Marina-san and BanG Dreamer-san!
Marina
Ako-chan, hello. Roselia has a reservation today, but~... you've arrived pretty early.
Ako
I had something to take care of before practice and came straight here after that! So I'm the first to arrive~!
Marina
Mhm, you're full of pep again today, Ako-chan.
Marina
Plus, I'm a little relieved that all of you in Roselia are coming to practice here again~.
Ako
Huh? What do you mean?
Marina
During your last practice, you were all talking about the ghost that appears at a studio, right?
Marina
There are some customers that can't handle that sort of thing and keep away from the supposedly haunted areas all together.
Marina
Lately, there seem to be weird rumors about various studios, so I've been somewhat worried.
Ako
I see~. I love those kinds of scary rumors, so you don't have to worry!
Ako
Ah, but... when we thought there might've been a ghost at Lisa-nee's house, even I was scared~.
Marina
Huh? Did something happen at Lisa-chan's house?
Ako
Yeah. At our previous practice, we were talking about the ghost bassist, right? After that, lots of weird things happened at her house!
Ako
Lisa-nee was scared that she might have brought the ghost from the rumor home with her, so all of us in Roselia stayed at her house~.
Marina
What do you mean by weird things...?
Ako
The power suddenly went out, and pages in a magazine turned on their own...
Ako
Lisa-nee even said she saw a strange woman in her room, and then there was knocking at the front door during the power outage...!
Marina
Whoa, that definitely is scary... Were you all okay?
Ako
Yeah. It turns out that it wasn't a ghost after all. It was just us imagining things...
Marina
I see. Well, I'm glad to hear that. Still, I know how you all felt~.
Marina
After hearing a scary story, even the most trivial thing will seem scary.
Ako
I know, right? I was super scared too~...
Ako
But, when I thought it might be a real ghost that was going to drag Lisa-nee away, I yelled at it when there was knocking at the door.
Ako
I said, "Don't be mean to Lisa-nee anymore~!"
Ako
In the end, it turns out it wasn't a ghost, but Yukina-san's dad.
Marina
I see... You really are amazing, Ako-chan.
Marina
Even if it was a misunderstanding, your bravery in trying to protect Lisa-chan was real. I think that's really wonderful.
Ako
Ehehe, you think so~...? Thanks, Marina-san!
Marina
Say, when a ghost appears at CiRCLE, maybe I'll ask you to drive it away.
Ako
Huh?! Th-that's... Umm~...
Marina
Ahaha, just kidding. There aren't any scary stories at CiRCLE, so you can relax.
Marina
... Ah, it looks like the others from Roselia are here. Don't worry about any ghost, and do your best with practice today as well!
Ako
Of course! I'll work super hard! I'm off~!
