Raika

Everyone, good morning...!! Breakfast is ready...!?!?

Chieri

Hehe, are you surprised?

Shizuku

Everyone's already here.

Miku

Yomogi-san is also sitting on the chair.

Yomogi

One more minute... and I'll go back to the floor...

Raika

Wh-Whoa~~~~!! Why!? Coincidence!? Miracle!?

Shizuku

That is...

Miku

Hm? What? Shizuku-chan♪

Shizuku

No... it's a coincidence.

Miku

Hey, is nobody eating?

Raika

I'll eat! Let's eat together!!

Raika

Well then, everyone, put your hands——

Chieri

Subordinates of the Chieri Union! Put your hands together for a greeting! Ready, set!

Miku・Shizuku・Chieri

Let's eat~! Let's eat...

Yomogi

Zzz...

Raika

I... I wanted to do that~~!

Chieri

Hehe, it is the union leader who issues the call to action.

Raika

S-Somehow it doesn't quite sit right, but... Alright! I'll eat too!

Raika

Let's eat~! *Munch*... *Chew*...

Raika

Mmm~~~ Soooo good!! The taste of rice...

Miku

Raika-chan, you'd better not talk with your mouth full~

Miku

(So dirty, you're not a kid anymore.)

Raika

*Chew*... *Swallow*.

Raika

The taste of the rice is different!! Because everyone is together, the sweetness is different!

Raika

So this is the power of "Ikka Danran" dinner table...!

Shizuku

You mean, that power could even change the taste of the rice?

Raika

It tastes twice as good, and I put in even more effort than usual!

Chieri

Hehe, you're grateful, aren't you? Because this is a meal with Chieri!

Raika

Yeah, I'm very happy! Thank you everyone!

Miku

Hehe, that's good.

Raika

Well~ I feel like I could sell five thousand tickets today~!

Chieri

Five thousand...!? Then Chieri can sell ten thousand!

Raika

Okay, then let's sell fifty thousand together!

Miku

Before we fill up arenas and domes, let's fill up "Nest" first~

Raika

Yeah!! With the power of Ikka Danran, I'm sure we can...!

Raika

So, if we add up all the tickets sold...!?

Miku

Um... it's already up to 43% of capacity.

Yomogi

A-Almost half...!?

Shizuku

It was around 30% yesterday, and in just one day... it's amazing.

Chieri

Hehe, of course! Nobody can stop Chieri's growth!

Raika

You're all amazing!! The power of Ikka Danran really worked!

Shizuku

Raika, you like that phrase?

Raika

Yeah! Because it's perfect for our family!

Raika

Alright, with the full power of Ikka Danran, let's get to band practice too~!

Chieri

Mm... Please change it to Chieri Union power!

Raika

No can do. Come on, everyone, go get changed~!

Shizuku

This might be Raika's new catchphrase.

Miku

Yeah~ It might be a little overbearing.

Chieri

Attention~~~!!

Chieri

Alright, it's time for the Chieri Union's special training! We're going hard toward the weekend!

Yomogi

P-Please go easy on me...

Shizuku

Raika, are we also playing cover songs for the actual live?

Raika

Hm~ Yeah, I guess so. I'd really like to have more songs we can play, though...

Raika

Original songs for our band. Don't you think we should have some?

Miku

Hmm... But now, we have no choice but to practice the songs we can—

Raika

Miku~~ You want some songs, right~?

Miku

(What's that creepy look on your face?)

Raika

I heard that~ Miku, you can compose~

Raika

I hope you can write one~ A song that's like us, full of peace and family love~~

Miku

Who said that to you?

Chieri

The day Raika brought Shizuku here, Chieri saw it with her own eyes.

Chieri

Miku... You were composing on guitar there!!

Raika

Yo, Cherie's vision is world number one!

Chieri

Heh, my vision is 1.2 in both eyes!

Miku

(Composing is supposed to be my tranquilizer... But here comes this insensitive loudspeaker...!!)

Shizuku

I see... So that's why you play it that way, Miku.

Miku

Huh? That way?

Shizuku

Our performance is free, and it changes every time. To the point that we could never play the same way twice.

Shizuku

Even so, Miku always captures the original song's world, and makes sure not to stray too far.

Shizuku

That's probably because Miku is the person who can write songs.

Shizuku

It looked like Miku held respect for both the original song and its composer.

Raika

Huh...! Miku, you were doing something amazing!

Miku

It's just that when everyone plays "freely," someone notices and adjusts the overall balance, that's all~

Chieri

A-Anyway! For the future of the union, please write a song titled "Glory of Chieri-sama!"

Miku

Come on~ I never said I could compose~♪

Raika

Hm...? You look suspicious!

Miku

Huh? I would never lie to you all.

Raika

See, just now! You touched your ear!

Miku

Huh?

Raika

I've noticed you do that a lot. Hey, could it be...

Raika

Aren't you saying things different from what you're thinking?

Miku

(Did I really do that? And somehow, having her notice it feels...)

Miku

So annoying~♪

Raika

Huh!? Which is it!? Do you really mean that!?

Miku

Who knows~? Which do you think it is? Wanna guess, Raika-chan?

Raika

Awww~ I'm getting all confused now! Miku, you're difficult!

Raika

But if that's the case... I'll keep asking until I get it!!

Raika

Miku, can you compose!? Even if you can't, do you want to do it!? Wanna try to write a song for family!?

Miku

These are called leading questions, you know?

Miku

Hey, we're gonna run out of practice time. Anyway, we only have cover songs right now.

Raika

But, one day! I hope you can write it one day! Please, please, please~~!!

Miku・Raika

...

Miku

Yeah, one day...

Raika・Chieri

Yes~~~~~!!!

Miku

(Come to think of it, I've never written a song for anyone else.)

Miku

(Because composing was just a way to blow off stress and escape from reality...)

Chieri

Listen up! Make sure it's written so that Chieri stands out!

Raika

No, I want it written so that everyone stands out!

Yomogi

Everyone stands out...!? I can't have that, please just let me stay buried~~!!

Miku

If we're not gonna practice, shall I leave?

Raika

We're practicing! Everyone, let's get hyped and go for it~~!

Miku

Now, this phrase should be...

Miku

(That's so like those selfish girls, annoyingly childish...!!)

Miku

(Seriously, they are way too selfish!)

Miku

(She said, "You want some songs, right~?" That annoying face, just makes me more irritated...!)

Miku

("Write a song titled Glory of Chieri-sama?" Who would write that childish thing!)

Miku

(What I'm writing is a song that's truly theirs—)

Miku

Hehehe...

Miku

(For Yomogi-san's bass, a "strong" phrase would work best. Shizuku could probably handle complex phrases calmly.)

Miku

(Then for this part, the melody would be...)

Miku

Phew... That's all for today.

Miku

(A song that's loud and chaotic, just like them. Something they can totally go wild to.)

Miku

(Although if we can't fill the live house, we might not even have a chance to perform it.)

Miku

(But... I'm sure...!)

Raika

The total of the tickets sold is... 59%...

Shizuku

The live is the day after tomorrow... At this rate...

Chieri

Th-that can't be right!! Are you sure you didn't miscalculate!?

Miku

It's a calculator app, so I don't think there's a mistake.

Yomogi

...

Chieri

If only it had been a mistake...!

...

Raika

I-It's okay! We still have two days!

Raika

Look, there was a day when it jumped by like 10%! If we try even harder than we did that day—

Chieri

Chieri is trying hard every second!!

Chieri

We tried hard, and this is the result...! So why are you still able to smile...!?

Raika

Sorry...

Raika

I just felt like I had to smile.

Miku

...

Raika

W-Well, it's not like me! I know, but...

Raika

I was thinking, what if my home disappeared... What if everything disappeared...

Raika

I thought maybe if I laughed, I could blow it all away.

Yomogi

Raika-san...

Shizuku

Raika, you don't have to force a smile.

Chieri

That's right. Chieri knows how hard you're trying, Raika.

Miku

And you're the one who sold more tickets than anyone, Raika-chan.

Raika

I'm really blessed with my family... Thank you.

Raika

I... love this moment right now. This moment where we're becoming a family, step by step, every single day.

Raika

And this home is the same as family. It should gradually be our home from now on.

Raika

I want to see what our home becomes, with everyone together.

Raika

So... I won't give up. Until the very last second before we step onto the stage.

...!

Raika

I'll carry all the time we spent working hard together and see this through to the very end.

Raika

So everyone, don't worry, just relax and leave it to me!

Miku

(She's forcing a smile again...)

Chieri

I-If we leave it all to Raika... Chieri'll get more worried!

Raika

Wh-What'd you say~?

Chieri

You're helpless, so Chieri will try hard with you to the end too. A leader should keep an eye on their unreliable subordinates.

Shizuku

I'll think of something new too, so more people will buy tickets.

Yomogi

Me... Me too... I'll also try my best to the end...!

Miku

(Everyone knows how hard that person's pushing herself. So they tell themselves that they have to stay positive and muster the strength.)

Miku

("To the end"... You only say that when you already know how this is going to end.)

Miku

Me too... I'll think of something.

Raika

Everyone... thank you.

Chieri

Then it's decided! Time to take action! Chieri's heading to the station to sell tickets right now!

Raika

I'll go with you! Let's talk to every single person we pass!

Yomogi

I-I'll try posting more about it on social media and our website...!

Shizuku

Yomogi, would you show me how as well?

Yomogi

Yes...! Then let's use the computer in my room...!

Miku

(...What everyone's doing isn't wrong. It's just not realistic.)

Miku

(I'm the best at noticing things like this. There has to be a solution only I can come up with.)

Miku

(I use whatever I can. That's how I got out of my family home, so surely——)

Miku

Wait...

Miku

(Since when did I start caring this much about them?)

Miku

(Going out of my way to hand-sell tickets, and even writing them a song.)

Miku

(I left home believing I'd be happy if I just didn't have a family... and yet here I am.)

Miku

What am I doing now...

Miku

(...So... should I just walk away now?)

Miku

(Would doing that make this feeling go away?)

Miku

...Yeah, right. Like that would make it go away.

Miku

(What suits them are those carefree smiles. Not faces that make my chest ache just looking at them.)

Miku

(So...)

Thank you so much for coming all this way~!

So your mind is made up, right? Miku Mahashi-san.

Miku

...
