Raika

Mi~ku~! What's up? Still lost in the moment?

Miku

Oh... Yeah, maybe I am.

Raika

For moments like this... here! Let's all share some ice cream to celebrate!

Miku

Yeah. Then let me call everyone—

Raika

Everyone~~!! Gather on the veranda~~!! Let's eat Pockin'ice~~~~!!

Miku

Hey, shh...! You'll bother the neighbors...!

Raika

Oh, sorry!

Chieri

Chieri has brought Yomogi and Shizuku here! How's that? Do you want to praise me now?

Raika

Oh, as expected of Cherie! So reliable~

Chieri

Hehe, as a token of your gratitude, you could skip the Pockin and just give Chieri a whole one!

Shizuku

What's... Pockin?

Yomogi

Um... There's this commoner's ice cream that you break in half to eat...

Raika

Oh, Shizuku, this is your first time with Pockin'ice! Then wanna try the grape one with me?

Shizuku

Yeah, I'd like to try.

Chieri

Chieri will have a whole orange one!

Yomogi

Miku-san, I'll break it! Since I got to choose the flavor!

Yomogi

Hngh...!! At least... I gotta be able to... this much...!

Miku

Yomogi-san, may I?

Miku

Here you go♪

Yomogi

Ugh~~ Sorry for the trouble caused by my useless arms that can't even break a commoner's ice cream...

Miku

It's fine, just let people who can do it handle it~

Raika

Here... You eat the ice cream from this crack!

Shizuku

This... you don't use a spoon for it?

Chieri

You don't need that. Just bite right into it, and it pops out.

Shizuku

Just bite into it... *Munch*...

Shizuku

Mm...! Mmm...!!

Yomogi

Shizuku-san's eyes are all round...! S-So cute...!

Raika

So~~cute~~~~!! Delicious? Is it delicious?

Shizuku

My taste buds and brain are trembling...! It's so much sweeter than regular grapes...!

Chieri

Hehe, isn't it good that you learned how to eat it from Chieri?

Shizuku

Yeah. As expected of union leader Cherie...!

Miku

Hehe, Shizuku-chan would have a lot of firsts from now on.

Raika

That's right! Next time... maybe we could have her do a little errand!

Miku

When you teach her something, make sure to explain it properly from beginning to end, okay?

Raika

Huh, why only me?

Miku

Washing machine.

Raika

Oh... I'm sorry~

Raika・Miku

Ahaha. Hehe.

Raika

Oh, right! I've got good news for everyone~!

Miku

News?

Raika

Hehehe...♪ Actually, I came up with a name for our band!

Chieri

That sly grin on her face... Chieri has a bad feeling about this!

Shizuku

I thought our name was "family."

Raika

That's right. But we need a band name too!

Raika

I wrote it properly on hanshi paper! It should be in my pocket...

Chieri

You don't need to take it out! The band name will be "The Chieri Union and the Happy Subordinates"!

Raika

No personal names allowed! Ah, found it♪

Raika

It fits us so perfectly that you're all gonna fall off your seats~! Get ready, the name is—

Raika

"Ikka Dumb Rock!"

...

Chieri

A band name this lame? Absolutely not!!

Raika

Huh!?

Chieri

Seeing kanji and English all jumbled together just makes my skin crawl!

Shizuku

So this spelling can also be read as "Danran"... I had no idea.

Raika

Oh... That's not quite what I had in mind...!

Raika

Miku, you think this is cool, right!? Right!?

Miku

I think this is cool~♪

Raika

Ah~~ That's the proof that you are thinking otherwise!

Yomogi

I... I think it's not that bad though...

Raika

Huh!? Yomogi, what'd you say!?

Yomogi

Um... Uh...

...

Yomogi

I-I-I'm sorry!! I just couldn't work up the courage after all...

Chieri

It's fine, Yomogi! If something's cheesy, you can just say it's cheesy!

Yomogi

Ugh~ That's not what I mean...!

Raika

C'mon~ Why are you doing this to me...! I thought it fit us so perfectly...!

Miku

...

Raika

(After a good live, Granny and others would drink every drop of sake they had out in this yard and make a huge ruckus.)

Raika

(We've got Pockin'ice instead. From here on, we'll be sharing thousands and thousands of them together.)

Raika

(As long as I have this family, my life is...)

Chieri

Please wait!! Chieri will never allow that!!

Raika

Cherie, what happened!? You look angry...

Yomogi・Shizuku

...

Chieri

Chieri is not backing down from here.

Miku

...

Raika

Miku, that big luggage... What's that?

Miku

*Sigh*...

Miku

Sorry for all the commotion. I'm moving out of this dorm today.

Raika

Huh...

Miku

I'm going to become an idol. I'll live in a dedicated dorm, so my communal living here is over.

Miku

Thank you so much for everything up to now♪

Raika

Y-You wanted to be an idol...? You never said that...

Miku

To you all? I can't say it~

Chieri

You've been joking around since earlier...! What happened to the Miku from yesterday...!?

Yomogi

Th-That's right...! You were kind to me, and we laughed together...!

Raika

Miku, you had a lot of fun, right...!? And...

Raika

You've always been thinking about our family...!!

Miku

...

Miku

You're saying, until yesterday, "we were family," right?

Miku

That's all just in your head.

Huh...

Miku

If we eat together, and play in a band, we are family?

Miku

How convenient. So easy, just like playing house.

Raika

Playing house...

Miku

We're just strangers, after all. We just happened to end up living in the same dorm.

Miku

And yet, you're saying "We're family~!" And you put your arms around each other, laughing without a care.

Miku

Every time something happens, it's "because we're family," and I get dragged into your little make-believe family... I'm sick of it.

Miku

Eating breakfast together, playing in a band... I hated the life here, all of it!

Raika

...

Chieri

Raika!! Why are you being quiet!!

Raika

Huh...

Chieri

Raika, you're the one who started the "family"!! You should say something back!!

Raika

I... I know. But...

Raika

...

Miku

As I said. You and I are complete opposites.

Miku

If only I didn't have a "family," I could be happy.

Raika

...

Miku

Farewell.

...

Miku

...

Miku

(It's nothing, just what I've always been thinking.)

Miku

(If they hadn't tried so hard to hold me back, I wasn't going to say any of this.)

Miku

...

Miku

I need to move on...
