Huh? You want to perform at the live?

Raika

Yeah! We're joining today's regular live too!

Raika

Deputy manager, leave it to us! We will protect "Nest!"

Well, if it's your decision, do what you want, Raika~ Besides, that old lady also said it's fine no matter how things turn out.

Raika

Thank you! Then we're gonna make some noise, and you handle the rest!

Okay...

Raika

Everyone, sorry for the wait!! Alright, let's start our first practice, the five of us!

Chieri

Hehe, how's that! Even after we became five, Chieri still stood out the most!

Raika

Wow~ You were so powerful, Cherie!

Raika

And Miku, you could play guitar after all!

Miku

I'm no match for you all~ I barely managed to keep up just now.

Miku

(No one's listening to anyone else. Everyone's just letting loose however they want.)

Miku

(The more you play, the more stress you create. Only you guys could make music this unproductive.)

Raika

But I guess we couldn't call it the music of us five yet.

Raika

Yomogi, did you hear Shizuku's sound?

Yomogi

Huh!? I... I was...

Yomogi

Ugh~~ I'm sorry, I wasn't listening at all...! Sorry my eardrums are just as weak as my mental state...!

Raika

No, no! I couldn't hear Shizuku's castanets at all either!

Shizuku

I noticed that too. I was worried I might not be contributing much.

Miku

Shizuku-chan, can you play any other instruments? Maybe something from school lessons?

Shizuku

I can, but...

Raika

Oh, is that so? Then let's try it!

Shizuku

Okay. Then...

...

Chieri

Wh-What on earth is this...!!

Yomogi

What kind of life do you have to live to be able to do this so casually...!? That's scary... So scary...!!

Miku

(A sheltered princess... who has received elite piano training...)

Shizuku

I can play like this.

Raika

A-Amazing~~~!! Shizuku, you are a piano genius~!!

Chieri

Why did you keep it secret until now!?

Shizuku

Sorry, I didn't mean to keep it secret. I just thought I'd give my best on the instrument that was given to me.

Chieri

Grrr... That's a really great attitude...!

Raika

So when you said, "I didn't know band music," you actually meant you only know classical music~

Shizuku

Yes. I only know how to play classical piano. The keyboard feels different though... Would it be a problem?

Raika

No, no, no problem! From today, Shizuku is our keyboardist!

Shizuku

Okay. I'll try my best.

Chieri

Chieri can do that with drums too...!!

Hey, could you start working now? Other bands are gonna be here soon~

Raika

Huh, it's already that late!? I was hoping we could at least play once with Shizuku on keyboard~

Time's up. Now it's time to work, come on~

Yomogi

Huh, what!? We're going straight into the actual performance!?

Shizuku

This is the first time I'm going into an actual performance without practice.

Chieri

Chieri has no problem! As a genius leading a union, Chieri is always ready!

Raika

All riiight~~! It's our family's first live! Let's give it our all~~!

Chieri

Ohh~~!!

Yomogi

My heart will be torn apart~~~!!

That's all! Thank you for coming today~!

Raika

Okay, we're up next! Everybody ready?

Chieri

Who are you asking! This is the big stage where Chieri's gonna shine!

Yomogi

Ugh~~ Just imagining standing in front of people makes my heart feel like it's about to burst...!!

Miku

Yomogi-san, you will play in the wing, so it might not be "in front of people~"

Shizuku

Raika, is Suzuki-san here?

Raika

Um... Oh, she's there! In the back.

Shizuku

Then there's no problem. I was worrying because the audience started to leave.

Yomogi

Huh! That's true! If everyone just disappears like this...!

Chieri

That's no good!! Chieri's big stage has to be seen by as many people as possible!

Raika

Ahh, Cherie!! We haven't even done the circle yet~!

Shizuku

Is it okay to go now?

Chieri

Everyone~~!! The leader of the Chieri Union is going to do a wonderful performance~~~!!

Miku

Looks like we have to go?

Raika

Guess we have no choice~ Then let's go too!

Raika

Oh, right. Miku!

Miku

What?

Raika

The practice wasn't enough for you, right?

Miku

That's not true~ But why?

Raika

Somehow, I felt like you could go even further! You can go all out during the actual performance!

Miku

Yeah, I'll give it a try.

Raika

I'm back, "Nest!" And to everyone seeing us for the first time, nice to meet you!

Raika

Thank you so much for coming today~~!!

Raika

The ones standing on stage with me are my family. And this place is our home.

Miku

*Inhale*... *Exhale*...

Raika

Some people say a rundown, empty venue that's losing money like this should just shut down already.

Raika

But... even if it's shabby! Even if it's in the red! One thing has never changed! "Nest" is still the best!!

Raika

I'll prove it with my family love, so you'd better watch closely!!

...

Raika

Let's go, my family!

Chieri

I said... it's the Chieri Union!

Raika

—♪

Miku

(You look happy. Like you're having fun.)

Miku

(Playing in this precious home, with family. You think just having this alone makes your life the best.)

Miku

(You're so naive that you make me feel sick!!)

Raika

...!?

Chieri

(Wha... Miku's guitar is standing out more than me...!)

Shizuku

(The sound... is running wild...?)

Miku

(Even if we fight, we call it peace by the end of the day? Things are not resolved that easily for a family, you know!?)

Miku

(You say we share all the joy and sadness together. But is the weight the same? No, it's not.)

Miku

(The feelings of the one being burdened are ignored. That's why they end up carrying even more...!)

Miku

(The sadness, the pain, the suffering, so far from happiness!!)

Raika

...!

Raika

(Sa-Same as that time. Miku is angry.)

Raika

(Then... bring that anger out more! Let me hear more of it! The real sound of Miku!!)

Miku

(You say "I'm ready to protect family!" How exactly are you gonna be ready to protect us!?)

Miku

(If you think like "As long as I've got family, I'm happy," I'll tell you this!)

Miku

("If only I didn't have a family, I could be happy!!")

Miku

(I don't want to live for anyone else anymore! My happiness... I'll seize it on my own!)

Miku

(You all, Mother, and my family, I hate every single one of you!!)

Miku

(If it's all gonna break anyway, then I'll smash everything right now!!!)

Raika

(Oh... I'm finally starting to see it...!)

Raika

(Granny, my family seems totally different from yours!!)

I've never heard music this noisy...!

But... it's amazing...

Raika

—♪

Raika

*Pant*... *Pant*... Thank you very much!!

Miku

*Pant*... *Pant*...

Raika

*Pant*... *Pant*...

Raika

(I'm tingling from the top of my head to the tips of my toes.)

Yomogi

Haa~~~ My whole body is shaking...!! I can't even put strength in my legs...!

Chieri

Yomogi, you have zero stamina! Look at Chieri! Still full of energy!

Shizuku

Going straight into an actual performance without practice doesn't suit me after all. Raika, could you let me practice next time?

Raika

Yeah... right...

Miku

(Now you understand, right?)

Miku

(There are "families" in this world that you don't know. So stop seeing dreams about "family...")

Raika

I thought we were already family. Like Granny's family.

Raika

But that's not true.

Raika

We'll take time, step by step...! To become our own family!

Yomogi・Chieri・Shizuku

...!

Raika

Everyone, thanks for doing this live with me!

Raika

I really want to be family with you all!!

Chieri

Still that, after all...!

Yomogi

But this time, she said, "I want to be...!"

Miku

(Why did it end up like this...!! I intended to smash everything while playing though...!)

Raika

Miku! It's all thanks to your guitar!

Miku

Huh...

Raika

The correct answer for family isn't only one. Miku's sound taught me that!

Raika

I was really happy to see you play guitar like that, Miku!

Raika

It's like the first fight of family!!

Miku

You're happy about the fight?

Raika

Yeah! 'Cause when you fight, you can't lie, and you have to be on the same level to even do it!

Raika

We fought and shared! We're definitely starting from here!

Miku

...

Raika

Miku, I love you! Thank you! Please fight with me more from now on~~!

Miku

Whoa! Hey, that hurts...!

Raika

Sorry, I'm just overflowing with love now!

Miku

(So much strength! I'm pushing back this hard though...!)

Miku

Wait... if you want a "peaceful family," isn't it a wrong idea to fight all the time...!?

Raika

Is that so? Granny would probably say, "Families who fight are the closest of all!"

Miku

"Would say"...!?

Raika

Granny and others fought in a more peaceful way. But for our family, I think this is what works best!

Miku

...

Miku

I see...

Chieri

Th-That's enough about family!

Chieri

Members of the Chieri Union, how was Chieri's drumming! It was even better than before, right?

Chieri

Yomogi, if you're moved, you can go ahead and blabber all your thoughts like you always do!

Yomogi

Blabber... all my thoughts...?

Raika

Could it be that? Yomogi's ultimate move, "Onishigu" monologue!

Yomogi

Oh, I see! Wait... "Ultimate move!?" It's not a move...!!

Shizuku

Raika, what is "Onishigu" monologue?

Raika

Oh, you don't know it, Shizuku! Yomogi's eyes get all sparkly when she talks about it. It's so funny~!

Miku

...

Miku

Ouch...

Miku

(My nail's cracked.)

Miku

(I played that hard, so it's only natural. I was trying to smash everything.)

Miku

(But... they didn't break.)

Miku

(Not only that... I got way too heated in the second half. I was being provoked.)

Miku

(No matter how hard I came at her with my sound, it was like she kept saying, "Come on. Give me more...")

Miku

He... hehehe... It's a total mess.

Miku

(That's weird. I've never even fought with my mother before.)

Miku

(Maybe I could stay here... Just a little longer...)
