Alright, let's check on the progress. First, Sengoku-san, what's the status on the new song?

Yuno

I will send it the day after tomorrow as planned.

Thanks as always~

Fuji-san, how's the tour promo illustration coming along? Sorry for sending that extra request yesterday.

Miyako

I'll send you the rough drafts later today. I'll prepare three patterns, so let me know which one matches your image best.

What, already!? And multiple patterns!?

Yuno

Huh...

Miyako

Yeah. The brief was clear, and honestly, it kind of gave me more ideas.

Miyako

If the patterns don't quite match your image, I'll redo them, so please don't hesitate to say so.

No~ I've already asked a lot, I'm really grateful.

And Nakamachi-san's working hard on the lyrics... I guess that's all for today.

Then, see you at the next meeting!

Miyako・Yuno

Thanks for all your hard work. Good work.

Yuno

Hey...

Miyako

?

Yuno

Fuji-san... you've changed, haven't you?

Miyako

I've changed?

Yuno

Yeah, it's like you've suddenly got this enlightened vibe.

Miyako

As I said before, I haven't changed.

Miyako

If I have to put it into words, maybe it's because I realized that sparkle isn't something you get from others.

Yuno

...?

Miyako

One in the whole, an individual within a group.

Miyako

What you can do alone is limited. But if you rely too much on others, you end up losing your own center.

Miyako

So, rather than expecting something from others, it's better to take inspiration from them, learn from the experience, and work together.

Miyako

This is the best approach for creators.

Yuno

...

Miyako

Ever since I came to that realization, I feel like I've become less shaky, if nothing else.

Yuno

Well, I guess so? There are times when being alone is more convenient.

Yuno

You stay within the circle, but keep a comfortable distance.

Miyako

That's right.

Yuno

But...

Yuno

(I used to be like that too. But now I know, it's not just that.)

Yuno

(Because we're not alone in a band—)

Miyako

But what?

Yuno

Oh... No, never mind.

Miyako

It makes me even more curious when you start to say something and then stop...

Yuno

...

Yuno

The other day, when we made that song at the beach. I could hear all kinds of sounds, you know.

Miyako

?

Yuno

The waves, the bonfire, everyone's singing... All those sounds turned into rhythm and melody.

Miyako

And Sengoku-san, you turned it all into music there... And it became a proper piece.

Yuno

It wasn't proper at all, though. It was a weird song.

Yuno

I couldn't have created a song like that on my own.

Miyako

...!

Yuno

And I realized that's what a band is for.

Yuno

I think MewType is that kind of place. I don't know how you felt about it though, Fuji-san.

Miyako

...

Yuno

That's all. You could think about it if you feel like it.

Yuno

I actually think it's not bad at all. Goodbye.

Miyako

Huh?

Miyako

Sengoku-san... you're the one who's changed, aren't you...?

Yuno

Phew...

Yuno

Hm? Messages from Koharu...

"Hey!"

"Are you free this weekend?"

"Let's go grab a meal! You aren't eating properly anyway, are you~?"

Yuno

I'm eating properly...

Yuno

(Because we're not alone.)

Yuno

(Right? Everyone.)

Yuno

Okay...

Yuno

Time to get to work.
