Takumi: ....
I listen to them playing. And Honestly I'm amazed. They are all in sync and all of them have their own way of expressing their love for music.
It's not long until they finish.
Yukina: well what did you think?
Takumi: um...wow. That was amazing!
They all smile to each other.
Lisa: we're glad you like it.
Sayo: we got praised by THE Takumi Imai, Looks like we're getting better after all.
Yukina: I hope so. Anyway, let's keep going.
They continue playing.
Later...
Ako: uwahh...I'm hungry.
Lisa: Yeah, let's take a break. Hey Taku, Treat me to some coffee.
Takumi: Hm? Uh...Sure.
Ako: Me too! me too! Takumicchi I want something too!
Rinko: A-Ako, y-you should really s-stop using Taku like that.
Lisa: Don't worry about it. Taku likes treating girls to food. Right Taku?
Takumi: Well..I guess, but it's more like a rule of mine. Dad DID tell me before that once a girl wants something from you, you give it to them.
Lisa: Taku...I don't think you understand what he was trying to say...
Yukina: I hope he understands what it means soon...for all our sakes.
Takumi: hm? Well whatever, let's go.
Marina: hohoooo~ Two more bands and the Music Tornament can finally start!
Yukina: hm? Marina-san?
Marina: Ah, are you guys taking a break?
Lisa: Yep! Taku is treating us!
Marina: waaah~ A date with Takumi Imai? I'm soooo Jealous!
Yukina: Hm? Can I see that please?
Marina: Hm? Uh...okaaay?
Marina-san gives a flyer to Yuki-Nee, I lean closer to look at what it was.
