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 âfestivalâ might be a bit of an exaggeration, butâŚ
Takezou: Since itâs 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 itâs on a day you donât 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 schoolsâŚ
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 withâŚ
Suzuka: Himesaka, Meiryo, Eidai, HakutoâŚ
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 retiredâŚ
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: Iâ absolutely, absolutely want to participate!!
Kazusa: Even if Iâm 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: Itâs 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? Iâm just curious.
Wakaba: Itâs the school that beat us and became number one in Japan despite the odds.
Page 7
Wakaba: Iâll use this opportunity to dig into them... like their weaknesses.
Kazusa: Y-you⌠how can you be so scheming!? Donât do anything thatâll 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 donât have the authority to decide that.â
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 classesâŚ
Student 1: Hmm⌠Iâm really interested, but⌠schedule-wise it might be tightâŚ
Student: We also have summer cram classesâŚ
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⌠Itâs a shame, but Iâll let them know weâre declining.
Asano: Ousuke: Normally, heâd jump into something like this and bring everyone along⌠He really is still...
Tsutsumin: K-
Page 10
Tsutsumin: Kiryu and I- weâd like to participate, please!!
Ousuke: Eh... Eh? Me?
Tsutsumin: Weâre the only two guys here⌠but Tokise has a lot of themâŚ
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.

Haru: Sorry, everyone⌠When Sen-chan gets like this, it's a lost causeâŚ
Akari: Please surrender...
Akari friends: No way!?
Akari friend 4: Come on, weâd be bothering the other schools too! With total amateurs showing up!
Sentarou: What are you talking about? I heard from Tokise that itâs 'a day for everyone to enjoy music together.'
Sentarou: Whether you have experience or not doesnât matter.
Akari friend 4: Well, even so... thereâs gotta be some minimum levelâŚâ
Sentarou: Shut up and stop whining!!!

Sentarou: Listen!! Even complete beginners can enjoy music!!

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.

Miran: Eh ah..
Miran: Bu- but I... I had a pretty terrible attitude⌠or rather, I said some awful things beforeâŚ
Imari: Woah, seriously? Then maybe this is a good chance to properly apologize?
Tougo: Iâm also curious about Tokiseâs practice environment. This is perfect timing.
Kio: And Tokise also has the Lady Houzuki, right? As someone in the same successor position, Iâd like to talk with her too.

Kota: Iâm getting super excited!!
Chika: But what do you actually do at an âexchange festivalâ?
Suzuka: Thatâll be a surprise for the day.
Suzuka: To avoid putting too much burden on the other schools, weâll ask Nishina-san for help with the kotos, and weâll get everything ready on our side, so help out with the preparations.
Everyone: Okaaay.
