Post-live talks: Houka Izumi

Once again, we couldn't bring ourselves to let it end. How troublesome.

Please, have some water. That precious throat of yours needs proper care♡

Thank you for looking out for me. Please make sure you have some water too, Houka-san.

Pleasant moments pass in an instant, don't they?

It really does feel that way. Let's do our best at the next live too.

Shine for us even more... brighter and brighter♡

Yes! If that would make you happy, Houka-san!

That was the kind of live that makes one say, "That's Natsume-san for you"♪

There's just something shady about your compliments...

The sight of you playing on, even after your string snapped, was truly cool♪

Hmph! Looks like you've got a good eye after all!

From back here, Natsume-san, you look even more commanding than you do during practice.

Hmph. That just means my back says it all.

And with that, the bond of our first-year crew grows deeper still♪

You're kind of attached to that phrase, aren't you?

I noticed some people wearing Minase uniforms too. Do you suppose they are members of your fan club, Nagi-san?

*Sigh*... You're definitely enjoying this, aren't you?

Does a live where you burn through every last bit of yourself hold no appeal for you?

Not really. I have my own pace.

I noticed you seemed concerned about your outfit at times. Does the fit feel all right?

H-Houka-chan! Can we talk about that later, in private!?

Mahoro-san, I notice you often turn toward me as you play.

Of course I do! We're the rhythm section, after all!

That section you had been practicing came together beautifully. How wonderful♪

Yes! Yes, it did! I'm so glad I didn't give up~!
