Sfx: Clack

Notebook: Himesaka, Meiryou, Hokuto, Eidai, Ichiei
Everyone: ----Eh
3-baka: A joint music exchange festival… with other schools!?
Page 3
Takezou Yeah. Calling it a ‘festival’ might be a bit of an exaggeration, but…
Takezou: Since it’s summer vacation, I thought it could be fun if we did something together with other schools.
Kota: Whoa, that sounds fun!! I wanna do it! I wanna do it!!
Natsu [thoughts]: Other schools...
Natsu: Ah- Sorry, but I have wo-
Takezou: I made sure it’s on a day you don’t have work.
Text background: Smiiile
Natsu: Ah... Yes...
Sane: Hahaha, as expected of Takezou-senpai.
Takezou: I asked Takinami-sensei to handle contacting the other schools…
Suzuka: It was incredibly sudden, and right before the Tokyo Performance on top of that, so they were totally put off on the other end of the call.
Takezou: I'm so sorry...
Page 4
Suzuka: For now, among the Kanto schools you have connections with…
Suzuka: Himesaka, Meiryo, Eidai, Hakuto…
Suzuka: And also Ichiei.
Suzuka: We reached out to these five schools, and as a result-
Label: Himesaka
Himesaka advisor: I believe Himesaka should decline their invitation to participate.
Himesaka advisor: The third-years have already retired…
Himesaka advisor: And your schedule leading up to Nationals Preliminaries is already set.
Page 5
Himesaka advisor: If there are no objections---
Kazusa: Sensei!!
Himesaka advisor: Kazusa?
Kazusa: Sensei, I'm sorry. I...
Kazusa: I— absolutely, absolutely want to participate!!
Kazusa: Even if I’m the only one, I still want to participate!!!
Kazusa: This invitation is from Tokise, right!? Tokise, where Satowa-chan is!
Himesaka advisor: Hold- Calm down...
Kazusa: It’s always been my dream to play koto alongside Satowa-chan. Please let me participate. No, no matter what, I'm participating. Please.
Page 6
Himesaka advisor: Alright, alright… Then Kazusa can participate.
Himesaka advisor: So that means Fumi too?
Fumi: Thank you very much.
Himesaka advisor: What is it, Wakaba?
Wakaba: Can I participate too?
Kazusa: !?
Kazusa: Wakaba? Why…?
Wakaba: Nothing really? I’m just curious.
Wakaba: It’s the school that beat us and became number one in Japan despite the odds.
Page 7
Wakaba: I’ll use this opportunity to dig into them... like their weaknesses.
Kazusa: Y-you… how can you be so scheming!? Don’t do anything that’ll make Satowa-chan hate us!!
Wakaba: Shut up!! Is your brain a flower field? We have to use all the tools are our disposal.
Kazusa: Stop, don't come. Sensei! Only Fumi-chan and I will be participating!!
Wakaba: Huuh? You don’t have the authority to decide that.”
Himesaka advisor: Shut up!! The three of you will be going. That's it!!

Label: Meiryo
Yocchan: So what should we do?
TL/N: Words cannot express how much this man aggravates me.
Yocchan: Interacting with other schools sounds fun, and it would be a good learning experience, but… It's the middle of summer break, and some of you also have extra classes…
Student 1: Hmm… I’m really interested, but… schedule-wise it might be tight…
Student: We also have summer cram classes…
Ousuke: Then wouldn't it be better not to participate?
Page 9
Ousuke: The Tokyo Performance is right around the corner, and the 3rd years especially can't spare the time.
Yocchan: Yeah… As I thought… It’s a shame, but I’ll let them know we’re declining.
Asano: Ousuke: Normally, he’d jump into something like this and bring everyone along… He really is still...
Tsutsumin: K-
Page 10
Tsutsumin: Kiryu and I- we’d like to participate, please!!
Ousuke: Eh... Eh? Me?
Tsutsumin: We’re the only two guys here… but Tokise has a lot of them…
Tsutsumin: So it'd probably be
Page 11
Tsutsumin: A ni- nice change of pace.... Maybe... Possibly...
Ousuke: Even if Tokise are the ones we lost to?
Tsutsumin: !!! Eh, ah... No...
Tsutsumin: Um... Right. Wai- bu- but-
Ousuke: Fu-
Ousuke: Haha. Just kidding, sorry.
Page 12
Ousuke: Thank you.
Ousuke: Tsutsumin made a very passional invitation, so the both of us will be participating.
Asano: Me- Me too. As the club president, I will accompany them.
Page 13
Yocchan: Understood. Does anyone else want to participate?
Kou-chan: ....
Kou-chan: The three of you, please go and scout out the opposition.
Asano: Hahah Understood!

Akari friend 1: N... No no... Eh??
Akari friend 2: We suddenly received a call and got and... a music exchange event??
Akari friend 3: It’s summer break, we haven’t even joined the club yet…
Akari friend 4: Hey I’m not even planning to join!
Sentarou: Those are not problems at all!!
?: It is a problem for us!!
?: I have a part time job!!
?: I'm broke!!
Akari friend 4: I haven’t even touched a koto before!!”
Akari friend 4: You expect me to play now!?
Page 16
Haru: Sorry, everyone… When Sen-chan gets like this, it's a lost cause…
Akari: Please surrender...
Akari friends: No way!?
Akari friend 4: Come on, we’d be bothering the other schools too! With total amateurs showing up!
Sentarou: What are you talking about? I heard from Tokise that it’s 'a day for everyone to enjoy music together.'
Sentarou: Whether you have experience or not doesn’t matter.
Akari friend 4: Well, even so... there’s gotta be some minimum level…”
Sentarou: Shut up and stop whining!!!
Page 17
Sentarou: Listen!! Even complete beginners can enjoy music!!
Sentarou: Old and young, men and women!! A universal language of the world!!
Sentarou: That’s music!! So there’s issue at all!!”
Akari friend 1: Akarii~
Akari friend 2: Help us--
Akari: Amazing...
Akari: Music really is amazing, right!?
Friends: Akari!!

Suzumori: Mio
Suzumori: Are you really going to be participating alone?
Mio: Yeah. I like the people at Tokise.
Suzumori: You know that I can't go with you that day? Will you able to find your way there?
Mio: It's oookaay. Taishin-sensei said he'll take me.
Suzumori: Huh? Sensei is coming all the way here!?
Page 19
Mio: Apparently… Tokise's sensei asked him to do something.
Mio: He didn’t tell me what it was, but he sounded really happy on the phone.
Suzumori: I see…?
Mio: He…
Mio: Hehehehehehe
Sfx: Startle
Mio: I’m looking forward to it…
Suzumori: That’s good, then....

Kui(?) Huh? Tokise asked about that?
Kifune-sensei: Yes. It’s in Kanagawa, and it’s before the Tokyo performance… what do you think?
Luka: Géniaaaaaal!!!
Page 21
Luka: That sounds suuuper fun!! Let’s all join!!
Miran: Eh ah..
Miran: Bu- but I... I had a pretty terrible attitude… or rather, I said some awful things before…
Imari: Woah, seriously? Then maybe this is a good chance to properly apologize?
Tougo: I’m also curious about Tokise’s practice environment. This is perfect timing.
Kio: And Tokise also has the Lady Houzuki, right? As someone in the same successor position, I’d like to talk with her too.
Page 22
Kifune-sensei: I understand. So you will all be participating, then?
Luka: Yes!!
Kio, Imari: ...
Suzuka: That means--
Page 23
Suzuka: From those 5 schools, there will be 19 people. Including you guys, it’ll be 28 for the music exchange festival.
Sane: Whoa!!
Kota: I’m getting super excited!!
Chika: But what do you actually do at an ‘exchange festival’?
Suzuka: That’ll be a surprise for the day.
Suzuka: To avoid putting too much burden on the other schools, we’ll ask Nishina-san for help with the kotos, and we’ll get everything ready on our side, so help out with the preparations.
Everyone: Okaaay.
Page 24
Suzuka: Alright then, let’s start today's practice.
Sane: Yeeeh!
Satowa: That’s amazing… When did this happen…?
Hiro: Hehe~ We caught Suzuka-chan in a really good mood♡
Hiro: Let’s all enjoy the festival together.
Satowa: Yes.

Tetsuki: Ohh, so you’re doing something like that.
Chika: Yeah, though I don’t really know the details yet.
Tetsuki: But still… that’s good, really.
Tetsuki: Looks like it’ll be a fun summer.
Page 26
Chika: You coming too?
Tetsuki: Why? That’d be weird.
Chika: It’s wouldn't be weird, though…
Chika: ...
Chika Hey… Tetsuki
Tetsuki: Hm--?
Chika: If something ever happens to you from here on…
Tetsuki: Huh?
Page 27

Tetsuki: Oh?
Chika: When that happens…
Chika: Call me.
Page 28

Chika: come running.
Page 29
Tetsuki: ...Chika, do you know what I’m doing right now?
Chika: Eh?
Tetsuki: Summer homework.
Tetsuki: I can already see you coming to me crying at the end of summer.
Tetsuki: Before worrying about me, why don't you worry about yourself first?
Chika: Ughhh
Chika: Shut up!! Dammit, I was speaking seriously...
Sfx: Knock knock
Page 30
Mama Takaoka: Chika-kun!
Chika: Auntie.
Mama Takaoka: If you’d like, why don’t you stay and have dinner with us today?
Chika: Eh! Really!? Is that okay!?
Takaoka Mama: Of course, there’s cake too!
Chika: Yay♪
Chika: Alright, let’s go, Tetsuo!
Tetsuki: Yeah, yeah.
Chika [memory]: I’ll come running to you.
Tetsuki: Fu. You would come even if I didn't call.
Page 31
Chika: What?
Chika: Did you say something?
Tetsuki: I said, is it okay not to contact Isaki-san?
Chika: She said she’d be late from work today...
Chika: I will tell her just in case
Tetsuki: You do that.
