>Yeah.
>Sorry. I was lost in thought.

>You okay?

>...Yeah.

p6
>I'm fine.

>...
>No.

>I'm...
>not fine at all.

p7
>I thought that if we won the contest at the festival and learned why she quit the group,

>I might be able to grab onto that thread of reconciliation.

>But

>now

>the contest is meaningless.

p8
>I'm saying that I was in love with you.

>Having heard Shiho's feelings,
>I still
>haven't processed them fully yet,
>but I'm somewhat relieved that she didn't quit because she hated me.

p9
>I still
>want to be with her.

>But

>wanting to be by her side while still having feelings for Yori
>would just hurt Shiho even more.

p10
>You're good.
>The girl you love gets herself a lover, yet you can still smile like some idiot and act like the best friend.

>I...

p11
>can't even imagine stealing her for myself.
>I want those two to be happy.

>But then...

>what exactly are the feelings for Yori
>that I have now...?

p12
>Morning~
>Morning.
>You're late. I was starting to worry...

>Wait.
>You look terrible!
>Eh~?

>Akki~ Are you okay~?
>I'm fine, I'm fine.
>I'm just a little tired since I don't usually use my brain this much~

p13
>I'll be back in top form before the performance!
>We'll be counting on you.

>Alright, let's get our last sessions in, shall we?
>Aight~

>...
>In the end,

>I haven't figured out a single thing
>about my feelings.
>What do I think of Yori now?

p14
>How am I supposed to face Shiho like this...
>Hey,
>Mizuguchi.

>You're really spacing out.
>You got a fever or something?

>Owaah!
>D-
>Don't scare me like that!
>...You seem fine to me.

p15
>...

>Take a break if you're really feeling unwell.
>Hey.

>Yori.
>Can I ask you something real quick?

>?
>What is it?

>Um.

p16
>Could you
>hold my hand?

>...

>Erm...
>Did you hit your head or something?
>How rude!
>I'm perfectly normal!

p17
>Is it... alright?
>...

>I guess
>that's fine.

p19
>I knew it...
>I...

>I see.
>Yes.
>Yes, yes!

>Thank you, Yori!
>Y-...
>You're... welcome...?

p20
>Mi-
>Mizuguchi...?
>What's all this?
>Phew~

>Okay!

>I've
>decided.

p21
>Hey, guys.
>Sorry for always causing you trouble,
but about the last song...

>Honestly.

>I'm okay with that, but it's really sudden.

>I know...
>Sorry for being so selfish.

p22
>It's fine.

>SS doesn't know the meaning of the word "impossible".
>...
>To be honest... I have no idea if this'll even work, though.

>That's just fine.

>If it's something that you're gonna regret holding back on,
>then doing what you want to do and getting yelled at for it is 100 times better.

p23
>Right,
>Tachibana Kaori?
>Yeah, yeah!

>Even if it only helps you a teensy bit, Akki,
>Tachibana-san will give her all with whatever it is~

>Mari...
>Kaori...

>Me too.

p24
>Let me give my all to answer
>my best friend's selfish request.

>Yori...

>Okay!
>Now that that's decided, let's make sure we're ready for the main performance!
>Yeah~

p25
>>Asanagi Yori
>>Sorry. I'll probably be practising right up until our performance.

>Fight on.

p26
>Woooah!

>Oh man, oh man.
>It's almost our turn!

>Ah~ Is this really gonna work?
>We've had plenty of practise. I'm sure it'll work out somehow.

p27
>I'm rooting for you all the way!
>Yeah.

>Thanks for coming all the way here.
>It's fine! I wanted to tell you directly!
>Do your best~
>Cute...

>Shiho...
>I wonder if she's gonna be there...

>The cookery club's space is being dismantled before your performance starts, and we all promised to watch it together.
>It'll be fine!
>Hima-chan!

p28
>Momoka-senpai?
>Sorry for interrupting.

>Did I forget to tidy up!?
>Ah, no. You're fine on that front!

>It's just...

>?

p29
>Shiho-chan has disappeared...

>Eh...?
