[ A few days later, on the day of Music Festa ]

Tori: Anzu! Anzu~ ♪
Ehehe, today's the day of Music Festa! I'll show you the results of a~ll the practising we did, so I hope you're excited ♪
Hm? What's up? You're making a funny face.
Oh, yeah... I totally hated doing Long Hair's special training. But Eichi-sama is gonna be watching us today, so I did my best.
Honestly, that Long Hair~ If he had just said from the start that Music Festa was an event prepared by Eichi-sama, I would've totally been happy to participate.
I was so surprised when Eichi-sama suddenly told me he was looking forward to it!

Midori: ......
Tori: ... Huh? Oh, I didn't realise there was someone behind you!
Midori: Ah... Good morning, Himemiya-kun...
Tori: Hmph, I dunno what kind of practices you guys did, but we're definitely gonna be the ones to win! So I hope you're ready to lose!
Midori: Sure, good luck with that... I don't like competition or fighting anyway...
We should all just look at cute stuff and let our souls be soothed... Cuteness will bring world peace... ♪
Tori: Huh, what? I have no idea what you're on about!
Gah~, you have zero fighting spirit! Well, that's fine! Be that way, that'll make our victory easier!
Midori: Fufu... You're so small and cute... How soothing... ♪
Tori: Hey, don't just go patting my head! I'm not small, you're just too big~!
Midori: Uh? What is it, Anzu-san...? Unlike a few days ago, I'm totally calm and composed now...?
I guess I am... At first I was all depressed because I really didn't wanna work with scary senpais like Sakuma-senpai and Sena-senpai...
But then Sakuma-senpai said he expected great things from me, and things didn't seem so bad anymore...
Things started going well after that, and the other senpais became less scary... Well, during lessons, anyway.
Huh? You're glad to hear that...? I mean, yeah, I'm relieved that I managed to make it here without ending up all stressed out too...

Yuuta: Bad news, really bad news~!

Shinobu: It's terrible, a crisis~!
Midori: Wh-what's wrong? Is there some kind of problem...?
Shinobu: Ah, Midori-kun! Anzu-dono and Himemiya-kun too!
It would be faster to just show you! Please follow us~!
Midori: Uuu~, things were all peaceful, but now it feels like something troublesome has happened... This is so depressing...
Tori: This isn't the time for that! Come on, let's go too!

Wataru: ......
Tori: Wait, why aren't you changed? We're going up on stage soon, y'know?!
... Long Hair?

Rei: ......
Midori: Um, Sakuma-senpai. What happened here...?
Rei: ... A mere difference in opinions. It's not something you need involve yourself with.
My apologies, but I ask that you leave me alone.

Midori: Ah...
(Sakuma-senpai just left with a scary expression on his face... I've never seen him look like that during our practices...)
(He only glared at me for a second, but I feel like icy talons just gripped my heart... That was really terrifying...)
(Ah, I can't... My legs won't move, I can't go after him...)
Tori: Hey, Long Hair. Talk to me...
Wataru: I apologise, but I too would like to be alone right now.

Tori: (Wh-what the heck... Just what happened...?)
(I thought you could find a way to solve any problem that crops up? This... This isn't like you, Long Hair!)
Yuuta: What do we do...? I know it's not the time to be thinking about this, but Music Festa is gonna start soon, so we have to head to the stage wings.
Huh, Anzu-san? You'll figure things out here, so you want us to go on ahead? I'm really sorry, but can we leave things to you?
Shinobu: ... Will we be okay out there on our own? With our leader Hibiki-dono in this state, I cannot help but feel uncertain...
Tori: C'mon, let's go.
Even without this guy around, we just gotta do what we practised. Don't waste time feeling uncertain — be confident!
... I'm disappointed in you, Long Hair.
This is way too irresponsible for a supposed mentor. I bet Eichi-sama would be so mad if he saw you like this!
Wataru: ......
Tori: ... Hmph, looks like nothing I say will get through to you. But let me just finish with this.

Tori: We're gonna make the stage so lively, you'll definitely want to be a part of the action. So hurry up and join us on stage. ... I'll be waiting for you, Hibiki-senpai.
