Kanon
Ah, Misaki-chan! Are you heading home?
Misaki
Ah, Kanon-san. Yeah, Tennis Club just finished up.
Kanon
I'm sure you're tired after all that hard work... Sigh, I wonder how Rinko-chan is doing.
Misaki
She didn't seem like herself today, did she? Checking out all these sports clubs...
Kanon
Yeah. It's Rinko-chan, so I'm sure she has her reasons for trying them out, but still...
Kanon
Ah, you should have seen her at the tea ceremony though! Even our advisor was impressed!
Misaki
I can see that. She didn't seem very good at sports, but she'd probably fit right in with a culture club like that.
Kanon
Mhm. We all tried to convince her to join, but... we were probably a little too aggressive. I think we scared her...
Misaki
Ahaha. I can understand both sides there~.
Misaki
I noticed something while playing tennis with her though. I think she's the type who's too mindful of what people around her are thinking, like when they're cheering her on, or when they have expectations of her.
Kanon
You think so?
Misaki
When we were playing, she felt really bad that Sayo-senpai had to hit every ball she missed... She even said sorry that she wasn't able to do anything despite the time I spent teaching her...
Kanon
I see. We should have been more considerate of her feelings...
Misaki
After finishing up with me, Sayo-senpai brought her to watch the Kendo Club practice. I wonder how that went...
Eve
Misaki-san! Kanon-san!
Kanon
Eve-chan! Did your club meetings just end too?
Eve
That's right! Kendo Club is done for the day, so... Uhm, would you two come cheer on Rinko-san with me?
Misaki
Huh? What are you talking about?
Eve
I just saw Rinko-san at the archery range. It looked like Sayo-san was teaching her how to shoot, and Rinko-san was trying very hard.
Eve
She had this super serious look on her face, more serious than I've ever seen her...
Misaki
Cheer her on, huh? ... I don't know about that.
Eve
Do you think... it's a bad idea?
Misaki
No, not necessarily... But we were just talking about how when people cheer for Rinko-senpai, she seems to actually become distracted by it.
Misaki
I'd hate if our support ended up hurting her concentration...
Kanon
Yeah. Even more so if she's putting so much effort into it...
Eve
Wh-what if we silently supported her from afar? We can make sure we're not in her way!
Eve
I... really want to go cheer her on!
Kanon
Well, I do want to see how she's doing too. I'm a little worried about her.
Eve
Misaki-san... How about you?
Misaki
I am a little concerned myself...
Eve
Alright then...!
Kanon
Come on, Misaki-chan! We'll just take a teeny tiny peek.
Misaki
Yeah. Let's go.
Kanon
Great! To the archery range, right? This way!
Misaki
Ah, Kanon-san, wrong direction. It's this way~...!

Kanon
Ah, hello, BanG Dreamer-san!
Kanon
Ehehe... We actually have band practice today. I just got here a bit early...
Kanon
Is it alright if I relax here while I wait for everyone else?
Kanon
Thank you!
Kanon
Why am I in my school uniform on a day when I didn't have school? I had some club stuff going on before this.
Kanon
Which club? Tea Ceremony Club.
Kanon
Yes, we have lessons on days off too. Not every week, of course...
Kanon
Ahaha, thank you ♪ I have a lot of fun with my band and my club, so it's easy to give them both my all.
Kanon
Oh yeah, the other day... we were honored to have Rinko-chan join us for our Tea Ceremony Club meeting.
Kanon
She only saw us make tea once, but she was able to remember even the finer details of the ceremony... And her tea was delicious.
Kanon
I can't believe a beginner was able to make something so good...
Kanon
Ah, speaking of tea, I was thinking of having my own tea party, outside of the club.
Kanon
Something about the idea of having your friends over for tea just sounds so lovely...
Kanon
You bet it'll be fun? I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks so!
Kanon
If I end up doing it, maybe I'll ask everyone in Hello, Happy World! to join me...
Kanon
Something tells me that having a tea party with Kokoro-chan and Kaoru-san would feel like dining with royalty. I'm sure we'd all have a good time!
Kanon
Ah, of course, if I have my own tea party...
Kanon
I'd love it if you'd come too, BanG Dreamer-san! I know everyone would be thrilled to see you!
