Suzuka: Yes… Yes…

Suzuka: No… You’re right.

Suzuka: Yes… Yes, of course.

Suzuka: Thank you very much. Excuse me.

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!!

Page 8

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!!

Sentarou: That’s right!! So we’re all going together!!

Akari: Yeah!!

Haru: This is going to be fun--

Label: Hakuro

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....

Page 20

Label: Ichiei

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.

Page 25

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: What do you mean ‘something’? Scary.

Chika: …Like bad stuff, or tough times?

Tetsuki: Oh?

Chika: When that happens…

Chika: Call me.

Page 28

Chika: I’ll definitely

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.

Label: One week later—

Hiro [thoughts]: Should I have made it a bit more noticeable?!

Takezou: There are quite a lot of people.

Hiro [thoughts]: Obviously, holding hands... is impossible… Takezou [thoughts]: We're not even dating…

Page 9

Hiro: Kurata, do you come to this festival every year?

Takezou: Hmm… I used to come with my family when I was in elementary school.

Hiro: Oh really! Hiro: Are there any foods we definitely have to eat or games you want to play?

Takezou: …Cookie cutter

Hiro: Eh?

Hiro: Cookie cutter...

Hiro: What’s that?

Takezou: Wha-!?

Takezou: You don't know? It's that thing… with a square candy that has a pattern drawn on it? You use a needle or something sharp to carefully carve it out…

Hiro: Ohhh! I’ve never done that!

Page 10

Takezou: It is strangely addicting. I kept doing it on my own.

Hiro: Ahahaha! I can totally see that happening!

Hiro: I want to try it too--!

Hiro: I wonder if they have it today?

Takezou: Eh, rea- But I wonder if you would get into it, Kurusu-san.

Hiro: If it's with you, it will be fun, Kurata.

Page 11

Hiro: Ah! There seems to be something like that around there.

Hiro: Let's check it out!

Takezou: ---~~...

Hiro: Kurata! There's an empty seat here.

Page 12

Takezou: Kurusu-san, sit here.

Hiro: ? Alright…

Hiro: This is the thing you mentioned earlier! So I should carve this out?

Takezou: That's right. Just be careful with the thin parts, they break easily.

Hiro: Okay, leave it to me!

Page 13

Hiro: This really makes you focus, doesn’t it?

Takezou: Right?

Hiro: Wouldn't it be fun to do this with everyone in the koto club?

Takezou: You're right. Kudo would probably be good at it.

Hiro: Chika-kun is surprisingly good with his hands. Sane, too!

Takezou: Ah~ Adachi-kun would get the hang of it quickly.

Takezou: I can imagine him snapping it clean in one go though.

Hiro: I think Momoya-kun would also be pretty good at it... But would he would not do it.

Takezou: No. With Momoya-kun now, if you asked him pretty please...

Hiro: Eh~~ Would he actually? I think we would flatly reject it.

Takezou: That is also a very real possibility.

Page 14

Hiro: Hozuki-chan would definitely be terrible at this!!

Takezou: I get what you mean.

Hiro: Kota would also be pretty bad at it~~

Takezou: But he would have a ton of fun.

Hiro: Yeah yeah. And Mittsu would probably do it very carefully, and complete it successfully---

Hiro & Takezou: Yoshinaga would crack it wide open.

Takezou: I know, right!!

Hiro: Ahaha. I totally see the vision!!

Page 15

Hiro: Ha--- what a weird feeling.

Hiro: We were at Nationals until just yesterday, weren't we?

Takezou: Right. And now there is the Tokyo Performance.

Hiro: Yeah. I'm so glad about Mittsu's part, as well. I really want to give a great performance!!

Hiro: Also...

Hiro: I wanted to do something that would make everyone happy before retiring.

Takezou: Something that would make everyone happy?

Hiro: Yeah.

Page 16

Hiro: Senpai to kouhai… something like a present from them…

Hiro: I was saved by this club... and everyone in it…

Hiro: I want to do something to thank them at the end.

Hiro: Something that will make everyone smile.

Page 17

Hiro: I haven’t really thought it through yet, though.

Sfx: Crack

Hiro: Agh- it broke!!

Hiro: Sorry! Can I try one more time?!

Takezou: Then I will too.

Hiro: Ok, this time for sure!

Hiro: In the end I failed every single time~~

Takezou: But it was fun, right?

Hiro: Yeah!

Takezou: Next time, let’s go to the places you want to go.

Hiro: Eh?

Hiro: I want... Umm… apple candy… or…

Takezou: Apple candy?

Page 18

Hiro: Sorry… I lied. I just thought it sounded cute.

Hiro: I like takoyaki, yakisoba, and grilled skewers…

Hiro: Basically, I like savory brown foods.

Takezou: Ahaha!

Takezou: Sounds good. I like all of that too. Let’s go to all of them.

Hiro: Hey, next can we---

Hiro [thoughts]: He is checking the time...!?

Takezou: Ah- sorry, it's not that. The fireworks start at 7.

Hiro: !

Page 20

Takezou: And also... There's a good spot to watch them I found with Takeru a while back---

Hiro [thoughts]: I'm going to watch the fireworks alone with Kurata!!!

Hiro [thoughts]: And it's also a special spot he found with Takeru. Is it okay for me to go as well!?

Takezou: !

Takezou: Kurusu-san, it's a bit slippery over here, so it might be dangerous.

Satowa: A- Ah! That's right, flowers!!

Chika: Flowers?

Satowa: I wanted to buy some. Is it okay if we stop by a flower shop on our way?

Chika: Why flowers?

Satowa: Eh? I mean, we are going to visit your grandfather, right? Ah, rather than flowers, should I perhaps get him something he particularly liked...?

Chika: !

Page 6

Chika: Aah-- Sorry! We are not going to visit his grave today.

Satowa: What?

Chika: We're going to the place Gramps always lived in.

Chika: I also lived there when I was in my 3rd year of middle school. Now it's just a land for sale, though.

Page 28

Satowa: He wants to talk?

Chika: I don't know the details but

Chika: Something about the future? I think he wants to talk about that.

Chika: Seems like he called Isaki this morning.

Isaki [flashback]: I'm sorry Chika--- When you finally have your first date with Satowa-chan, my stupid brother...

Chika [flashback]: It's not a date, though...

Isaki [flashback]: ---But

Isaki [flashback]: I think it is something really important for you, Chika.

Satowa: Eh? Then... wouldn't I be a bother if I'm there, then?

Satowa: If it's something important----

Sane: Uoooh, the club room... It's been so long.

Kota: Even though it's only been a few days, it feels so nostalgic~~

Sane: I totally get that

Sane: Before we left, I thought I'd feel super lonely once we came back...

Kota: But now, we still get to practice for the Tokyo performance next!

Satowa: Keeping our level up is pretty tough, you know

Chika: Not drop allowed, I'm gonna go even higher!

Suzuka: Just so you know, tomorrow's a day off, got that? Don't even think about practice.

Mittsu: ...

Page 7

Mittsu: He- hey!!

Chika: What's up, Mittsu?

Mittsu: I know this might be a pain but... For the Tokyo performance, my part...

Mittsu: Could I play my part as it was before adjustments were made to it, as it was originally intended..?

Page 8

Mittsu: I- I get that the timing might be a bit tight but it's summer vacation so I got a lot of time to spare.

Mittsu: So if you guys don't see a problem with it, then...

Chika: That's the best!!!

Kota: That's a great idea!!

Sane: Damn, I'm getting fired up!!

Mittsu: Is- Is it ok...?

Hiro (?): Of course it is!!

Takezou (?): Honestly, it’s absolutely better to do it that way!!

Hiro: It's ok, right Suzuka-chan!?

Page 9

Suzuka: This is chance you created with your own hands.

Suzuka: Do whatever you want.

Page 10

Chika: Great!! If that's decided then we can start right away, tomorrow we will-

Suzuka: NOT practice.

Chika: Why!!?

Suzuka: Learn, you fool.

Suzuka: Understand the importance of rest.

Akira: Everyone, you're probably more tired than you realize, so please take a proper rest tomorrow.

Akira: Then we can start fresh again the day after.

Chika: Tch...

Sane: We've been focusing on the club for so long, I don't even know what to do on a rest day.

Satowa: Well... You "rest".

Kota: I might just sleep the whole day~

Sane: Sounds like a plan.

Page 11

Chika: Hey... then.

Chika: Can I borrow the trophy? I will return it.

Suzuka: The trophy?

Mittsu: Ah! You want to show it to your gramps, right?

Chika: Yeah.

Yoshinaga: Wow, I also want to show it!

Chika: Right?

Suzuka: The trophy is yours, do whatever you want with it.

Kota: Woaah, it's already dark out.

Kota: Suzu-chan, drive us home in your car~~

Suzuka: Walk.

Satowa [thoughts]: Showing to his grandfather.

Satowa [thoughts]: That time after the preliminaries, he also--

Chika [memory]: There's someone I wanted to let know about Nationals.

Chika [memory]: Want to come with me?

Satowa [memory]: I- There's no way I'm skipping class.

Chika [memory]: Well, I thought as much.

Chika: !

Page 13

Satowa: Can... Can I also.... come along... to visit your grandfather...

Satowa: With... with you tomorrow...?

Chika: Sweet! I get to brag even more to Gramps!

Page 16

Chika: What time is it more convenient for you?

Satowa: Ah, um... Anytime.

Chika: 'Kay, then I will go pick you up at 11AM.

Satowa: A- All right... Pick me up...?

Hiro: Hold on, Hozuki chan---!!

Hiro: What what what!? Way to go, you did so well--!!!

Satowa: Ye... Yes...

Mittsu [sfx]: Punch punch

Sane [sfx]: Kick kick

Chika: That hurts!

Satowa: I regretted not going last time so much...

Yoshinaga: Sleeping!

Sane: That's a good boy.

Natsu: I got work.

Sane: Eh!? Seriously!?

Kota: Momoyan, you gotta rest!!

Mittsu: Are you avoiding going home because so you don't want to talk with your mom again... or something like that?

Natsu: Well, she's probably at work right now. But if the timing is right I will probably talk to her, I guess?

Mittsu: I see...

Mittsu: If anything happens, call me immediately.

Page 19

Natsu's mom: Natsu, congratulations on winning Nationals!!

Page 20

Natsu: .......

Natsu: Eh?

Natsu's mom: Ah... So- sorry, I know is sudden.

Natsu's mom: You don't like this kind of thing, right, Natsu? But...

Natsu: No, wait.... Before that, how do you know we won? Wait, what about work?

Page 21

Natsu's mom: Ah, I got to change shifts with a coworker. I went to see you at the competition...

Natsu's mom: I thought you might not like that, so I was planning to keep it a secret but... In the end, I really wanted to celebrate with you.

Natsu: .....

Natsu's mom: I'm really sorry about your father...

Natsu's mom: You've had to put up with so much, for so long, because of my ego…

Page 22

Natsu's mom: I've put so much burden on you. I failed as a mother.

Mittsu [memory]: ---If it was me...

Mittsu [memory]: I'd be much happier knowing what makes you angry, and what makes you happy.

Natsu's mom: I'm truly sorr-

Natsu: I

Natsu: Really can't handle it when you act overly considerate and look so apologetic towards me, Mom.

Page 23

Natsu: I also can't handle that you're apologizing when it's not even your fault.

Natsu: The stuff with Dad was exhausting, yes, but I understand you were doing that for my sake. I'm not angry at you.

Natsu: That you went out of your way to come all the way to Hokkaido to hear me play, that honestly just makes me happy. I do not dislike it.

Natsu: Thank you.

Page 24

Natsu: I don't like it if you cry, though.

Natsu: Well, lately I've been surrounded by people who cry easily, so I guess might've gotten a bit used to it

Page 25

Natsu: .....

Natsu: The performance

Natsu: It was good, wasn't it?

Page 26

Natsu's mom: Yes, very!

Atsumu: Yes!! Grandpa was really happy! Probably

Kota: And you, Momoyan? Was work fun??

Mittsu: ! I see!

Kota: That's a good boy!!!

Chika: What about you guys? What did you do yesterday?

Sane: Ah, us? Well--

Sane: I got sent on errands by my older sister and little sister. In the evening I went to the convenience store to buy some ice-cream.

Mittsu: I was looking after my siblings as they were playing in the park, and we ran into each other.

Kota: For some reason, they called as well. We ate ice-cream as we watched the clouds float by...

Page 23

Chika: Ri- Right...

Sane: Then it started getting dark, and we started getting messages from home saying “How long were we gonna keep wandering around?”. Just when we were heading home, we heard fireworks in the distance.

Sane: There was probably a festival somewhere…

Sane: So we walked around hoping we could at least see a bit of it. We found a spot where you could spot a bit of them going off on a gap between buildings.

Kota: The fireworks lit up the sky,

Kota: As we gazed through that gap

Page 24

Chika: Amazing... Kinda makes me wanna cry.

Sane: Right...?

Kota: Ah but that festival, I looked into it when I got home, and it seems it was near Takezou-senpai's house.

Sane: Oh? Is that right?

Kota: Maybe Takezou-senpai was watching the fireworks from home too?

Takezou & Hiro: Ehh!?

Takezou: Um...

Hiro [flashback]: Is this ok?

Takezou [flashback]: What?

Hiro [flashback]: Doing this just before the Tokyo Performance...

Page 25

Hiro [flashback]: I was planning on holding back until we had retired from the club.

Takezou [flashback]: That was my intention too... but...

Takezou [flashback]: But, I think it will be fine.

Takezou [flashback]: Definitely.

Natsu: No, it’s just… the contrast is too much… That's brutal. Um... You watched the same fireworks...

3-baka: Can we cry!!

Page 28

3-baka: Dammit, we also wanna live our youth like that!!

Natsu: Ice-cream at the park is plenty youthful.

Natsu: Don't summarize it!!

Chika: Calm down, now. Here, have some candy.

Takezou: Something fun… exciting…

Takezou: Something that makes everyone smile…

Takezou: Like a festival.

Takezou: A festival...

Takezou: But it should probably be related to the club…

Takezou: Club... Festival... Come to think of it, is the National Cultural Festival a festival, too…? Sort of?
