Yomogi

Oh!

Yomogi

Uuugh, I messed up at the same part again...! No matter how many times I try, I just can't get it right...

Raika

Hey, I'm home~! Huh, just you, Yomogi?

Yomogi

Welcome home... Sorry, the only one here to welcome you is a wimpy little nobody like me...

Raika

Ohh, you're extra mopey today. What's wrong?

Yomogi

W-Well...

Raika

Oh? You were playing bass!

Yomogi

Ah, I-I was just finishing up, so I'll put it away right now. I can't let you listen to something so awful...!

Raika

Wait, wait! Let me hear it before you put it away!

Yomogi

No, no, no! I can't let you hear iiit!!

Yomogi

I've never once managed to play it through without making a mistake, and my fingers hurt so much that I'm making even more mistakes...!

Yomogi

I'm a hopeless nobody with weak hands and an even weaker heart... I'll be the band's dead weight before I know it... Uuugh...

Raika

I see. Let me see your fingers.

Yomogi

Eeeek!! You can't just touch me out of nowhere! It's bad for my heart!

Raika

Oh, sorry. Are the pads of your fingers all soft and squishy?

Yomogi

Huh? Oh, yes. That's what hurts...

Raika

I know, it hurts, right~? Mine did too when I first started playing guitar.

Yomogi

You too, Raika-san?

Raika

Yeah, everybody goes through it! Bass strings are thicker, so it's even tougher for you, right?

Raika

When Granny and others taught me bass, the notes would go all bwoing~ if I didn't press the strings down right.

Yomogi

Yes, exactly! Since it hurts, I can't press down properly either... I'm just so...

Raika

That's amazing, Yomogi~! You've been working so hard!

Yomogi

Huh?

Raika

You've only been playing bass for a little while, but you've gotten so good already! I was just thinking how amazing that is~

Raika

That's because you've been working so hard, bit by bit, Yomogi!

Yomogi

Does that mean... I'm playing okay, at least...?

Raika

You are, you are! Your bass has so much soul, Yomogi. It's so cool!

Raika

I love your bass playing, Yomogi!

Yomogi

R-Raika-san...

Raika

So no more moping! Let's keep building up the phrases you can play, one by one!

Yomogi

Yes! I feel like I could even play that part I've messed up a million times now!!

Raika

Ooh! Yomogi's "I can do it" energy is back!

Raika

Yomogi, play the part you were practicing! Nail it!

Yomogi

All right then! Yomogi Yakura, here I gooooo!!

Yomogi

Nngh!!

Yomogi

Oooow, that hurts!!

Raika

Ah, right! You told me it hurt. I'm sorry!

Yomogi

T-The skin peeled off...!! Uuugh, it stings and tingles...!

Raika

This is serious! We have to get you to the hospital!! Yomogi, get on my back. I'll give you a piggyback ride!

Yomogi

The hospital!? For one little patch of skin!?

Raika

We're Family, so I have to protect your precious fingers! Come on, piggyback!

Yomogi

No trip to the hospital and no piggyback ride, pleeease!!
