Len & Miku
Eh...
『えっ……』
Kagamine Rin (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Rin
Kanade, is that true?
奏、それ、本当なの?
Yoisaki Kanade
Kanade
...It is.
……うん……
Yoisaki Kanade

Yesterday, I received a call from Mafuyu saying that she was going to be taking a break from Nightcord for a while.
昨日、まふゆから『しばらくニーゴの活動を休む』って 連絡が来たの
Ena & Mizuki
...
『…………』
Kagamine Len (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Len
What could've happened?
どうしたのかな……
Megurine Luka (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Luka
Mafuyu has had her musical instruments and computer taken from her before.
Maybe this is a similar situation?
前に、楽器やパソコンを取り上げられていたし…… 今回も何かあったのかもしれないわね
Hatsune Miku (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Miku
Has she said anything?
……まふゆは、なんて言ってたの?
Akiyama Mizuki
Mizuki
Her test scores have been dropping recently. She wants to be able to give her full attention to her studies so her mom doesn't worry.
テストの点数が下がってきてるみたいで…… お母さんに心配かけないためにも、 しばらく勉強に集中したいんだって
MEIKO (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
MEIKO
Studies, huh?
勉強、ね……
Akiyama Mizuki
Mizuki
Maybe this has something to do with her mother?
I don't know, but...
もしかしたら、お母さんと何かあったのかもしれないけど……
Akiyama Mizuki
Mizuki
...I haven't heard from her since and I don't know whether she's safe or not.
そのあとは連絡もないし、詳しい様子はわからないんだ
Shinonome Ena
Ena
I've already told her to tell me if anything's happening...
……もう、何かあったらちゃんと言って って言ってるのに……
Kagamine Len (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Len
I'm worried.
心配だね……
Hatsune Miku (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Miku
...
…………
Hatsune Miku (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Miku
...I'm... I'm going to check on her.
……わたし、まふゆの様子を見てくる
Hatsune Miku (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Miku
I want to be there for her... if she's in pain.
もしも、苦しい思いをしてるのなら……そばにいたい
Yoisaki Kanade
Kanade
Miku...
ミク……
Yoisaki Kanade
Kanade
...That's a good idea. If you were to show up, I think Mafuyu would be relieved.
……そうだね。ミクがいてくれれば、 まふゆも安心できると思う
Shinonome Ena
Ena
Let us know if something happens, Miku. We want to help too.
ミク、もし何かあったら教えて。 私達も力になりたいから
Hatsune Miku (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Miku
I will.
わかった
Hatsune Miku (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Miku
...However, I think Mafuyu is sleeping at the moment, so I'll go there tomorrow.
……でも、今日はまふゆも寝てると思うから、明日行ってみる
Hatsune Miku (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Miku
If anything happens, I'll inform everyone.
何かあったら、みんなにも伝えるね
Yoisaki Kanade
Kanade
Thank you, Miku.
……ありがとう、ミク

Miyamasuzaka Academy
Crowd talking
Activation sound
Kagamine Len (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Len
This is Mafuyu-chan's school?
『……ここが、まふゆちゃんの学校?』
Megurine Luka (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Luka
Sounds like it. It looks quite fun and lively.
『そうみたいね。 なんだか賑やかで楽しそうだわ』
Kagamine Rin (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Rin
More importantly, why did you even follow us, Luka?
『それより…… なんでルカまでついてきたの?』
Megurine Luka (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Luka
Oh my. There's no need to be so cautious.
『あら、そんなに警戒しなくてもいいじゃない』
Megurine Luka (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Luka
I'm just as worried about Mafuyu as you all are.
『私もリン達と同じで、まふゆのことが心配なのよ?』
Kagamine Rin (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Rin
...If that's the case, I have no problem with it.
『……それなら、いいけど』
Asahina Mafuyu
???
—Sensei, here's the flyer you asked for.
——先生、頼まれていたプリントです
Kagamine Rin (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Rin
...That voice...
『……あの声……』
Kagamine Rin (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Rin
Mafuyu...?
『まふゆ……?』
Teacher
Thank you, Asahina-san. You've been a great help.
ありがとう、朝比奈さん。 助かったわ
Asahina Mafuyu
Mafuyu
Please, don't thank me. I'm simply doing my job as a class representative.
いえ、学級委員の仕事ですから
Asahina Mafuyu
Mafuyu
Now then, if I may be excused.
それじゃあ、失礼します
Footsteps
Kagamine Len (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Len
...That didn't seem like the Mafuyu-chan I know.
『……いつものまふゆちゃんじゃないみたい』
Megurine Luka (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Luka
Oh my, this is a little funny, is it not?
I'm happy I tagged along. ♪
『あらあら、なんだか面白いじゃない。 ついてきてよかったわ♪』
Kagamine Rin (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Rin
Luka...
『ルカ……』
Private Study Room
Asahina Mafuyu
Mafuyu
Sigh...
……ふう
Asahina Mafuyu
Mafuyu
(I've finally composed myself. I need to get started on today's part fast.)
(ようやく落ち着いた。 早く今日の分を始めなきゃ)
Asahina Mafuyu
Mafuyu
Um...
えっと……
Hatsune Miku (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
???
—Mafuyu.
『——まふゆ』
Asahina Mafuyu
Mafuyu
Huh...?
え……
Activation sound
Asahina Mafuyu
Mafuyu
Is something the matter?
みんな、どうしたの?
Hatsune Miku (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Miku
Kanade and the others were worried about you.
『奏達が、心配してたから』
Asahina Mafuyu
Mafuyu
Ah...
あ……
Asahina Mafuyu
Mafuyu
......I see.
…………そう
Kagamine Rin (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Rin
Hey, Mafuyu. I heard from Kanade that you have to study...
『ねえ、まふゆ。 奏から、勉強しないといけないって聞いたけど……』
Kagamine Rin (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Rin
...Did your mother spark this?
『……お母さんに、何か言われたの?』
Asahina Mafuyu
Mafuyu
No, it's not like that... this is all... on me.
そういうわけじゃないよ。 これは……私のせいだから
Kagamine Len (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Len
Is that... so?
『そう、なの?』
Asahina Mafuyu
Mafuyu
...Yeah.
……うん
Asahina Mafuyu
Mafuyu
As I told Kanade and the others, my test results ended up being less than ideal.
So if I don't study hard and recover my grade, I'll worry my mom.
奏達に話したとおり、 テストの結果が悪くて……このままだと お母さんに心配かけそうだから、取り戻したいの
Asahina Mafuyu
Mafuyu
If I recover, I can continue Nightcord's activities too.
……ニーゴの活動を、続けるためにも
Hatsune Miku (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Miku
Ah...
『あ……』
Asahina Mafuyu
Mafuyu
...Speaking of, I really need to get back to studying now.
I'm sorry for making you come all this way.
……そろそろ、勉強始めなくちゃ。 せっかく来てくれたのに、ごめん
Hatsune Miku (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Miku
...Don't be.
『……ううん』
Hatsune Miku (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Miku
Hey, Mafuyu. Is it okay if we stay by your side for a little longer?
ねえ、まふゆ。 ちょっとだけ、そばにいてもいい?』
Asahina Mafuyu
Mafuyu
...Go ahead.
……うん
Fade to black
Clock ticking
Asahina Mafuyu
Mafuyu
(The next problem is calculus. There's a pattern to solve it, so if I follow that—)
(次の問題は……微積分か。 解きかたのパターンがあるから、それに沿って——)
Pencil scratching
Asahina Mafuyu
Mafuyu
(I did it, but... it took me quite some time.)
(……できた、けど……時間がかかっちゃったな)
Asahina Mafuyu
Mafuyu
(At this pace, I mightn't even be able to revise during the test.)
(この速度じゃ、テストの時に見直しまで できなくなるかもしれない)
Asahina Mafuyu
Mafuyu
(I'll just solve it a few more times, to really hammer it in.)
(……あと何回か解いて、叩き込まなきゃ)
Asahina Mafuyu
Mafuyu
(No matter what, I absolutely have to score well on the next one—)
(次は、絶対にいい点をとらないと——)
Flashback begins
Mafuyu's Mother standing, looking angry
Flashback ends
Asahina Mafuyu
Mafuyu
—!
————っ!
Asahina Mafuyu
Mafuyu
(No... I need to focus...)
(駄目だ、集中しないと……)
Pencil scratching
Kagamine Rin (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Rin
(...Mafuyu...)
(……まふゆ……)
Kagamine Len (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Len
(I know that I shouldn't interfere, but...)
(邪魔しちゃダメだって思うけど、でも——)
Hatsune Miku (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Miku
(Mafuyu looks like she's in so much pain...)
(すごく、苦しそう……)
Megurine Luka (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Luka
—Hey Mafuyu, how about taking a break soon?
『——ねえ、まふゆ。そろそろ休憩したらどう?』
Asahina Mafuyu
Mafuyu
...
…………
Megurine Luka (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Luka
You could go and see Kanade and the others. Those girls... they're waiting for you, you know?
『奏達のところに行くのはどうかしら。 あの子達はまふゆのことを待っているわよ』
Asahina Mafuyu
Mafuyu
Go to see... Kanade and the others...?
……奏達の、ところに……
Asahina Mafuyu
Mafuyu
......I can't.
…………行けない
Asahina Mafuyu
Mafuyu
I can't.
Because I have to... study...
私は、勉強しなきゃ……いけないから
Megurine Luka (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Luka
I see. It's not like I could relate, but studying must be important to you, yeah?
『そう。私にはわからないけれど、 まふゆにとって、勉強することは大事なのね』
Megurine Luka (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Luka
But the way things are, you mightn't be able to make any progress at all.
『——だけど、今のままじゃうまくいかないんじゃないかしら』
Asahina Mafuyu
Mafuyu
Huh...?
え……
Megurine Luka (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Luka
I'm just saying, it didn't seem like you were able to concentrate at all earlier.
If you want to be able to concentrate on studying, wouldn't it be better to do other things in-between?
『だって、さっきから全然集中できてるように見えないもの。 勉強に集中するためにも、 今は別のことをしたほうがいいんじゃない?』
Asahina Mafuyu
Mafuyu
Other... things...?
別の、こと……
Megurine Luka (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Luka
Uh-huh. Get away from your studies—Clear your head, refresh your mind.
『ええ。勉強から離れて、気晴らしをして—— 頭を整理するのよ』
Megurine Luka (25-ji, Nightcord de.)
Luka
I believe that's what you need.
『そういう時間が、必要なんじゃないかしら』
Asahina Mafuyu
Mafuyu
...But...
……でも……
Asahina Mafuyu
Mafuyu
...
…………
Asahina Mafuyu
Mafuyu
I'm—
私は——
