Rain

Saki

Hmm ... huh?

ん……。
……あれ？

Saki

How long have I been sleeping? I guess I slept with the wrong posture. It's killing my neck ...

いつの間に寝ちゃってたんだろう。
んー。変な姿勢になってたのかな。首が痛いよ～

Saki

... Lately, it's been raining every day. I don't really like it.

……最近、ずっと雨だなぁ。やんなっちゃう

Saki

I hope it's sunny the next time Big Bro comes to visit me.

次お兄ちゃん達が来る時には
晴れてるといいな

Saki

...

…………

Saki

If it keeps pouring, I can't watch the stars again.

……これじゃあ、今日も見えないな、星

Rain

Saki

I wonder how is everyone doing. The girls in my class must be hanging out by now.

みんなどうしてるんだろ。
クラスの子達と、遊んだりしてるのかな

Saki

... I want to meet them.

……みんなに、会いたいなぁ

Saki's bedroom

Saki

... Hm?

……ん、んん

Saki

Huh? This isn't the hospital bed ...?

あれ？
このベッド、病院のじゃない……？

Saki

... I see. I'm recovered now.

……そっか。
アタシもう元気なんだ

Saki

I can play with everyone too ...

みんなと一緒にいられるんだ……

Knocking

Tsukasa's voice

Hey, Saki! Are you still preparing?

おーい咲希！　まだ支度しているのかー？

Tsukasa's voice

It's good to put a lot of effort into your look, but if you're too relaxed, you'll be late!

毎朝身支度に気合を入れるのはいいことだが、
あんまりのんびりしていると遅刻するぞー！

Saki

Eh? It's morning already? W-what time is it!?

え？　朝？
い、今何時！？

Saki

I-I overslept!

ね……寝坊しちゃった～！

Miyamasuzaka Girl Academy - Class 1-C

Saki

Ha... Ha... Somehow I manage to arrive in time ...

はぁ……はぁ……。
ま、間に合ったぁ……

Saki

That was close. If Big Bro didn't wake me, I'd be in big trouble.

よかったー。
お兄ちゃんが起こしてくれなかったら危なかったかも

Ichika

Morning, Saki. Glad you're punctual.

おはよ、咲希。
間に合ってよかったね

Ichika

It's rare for you to be late, so I was shocked when I got your message. Were you staying up late?

咲希が寝坊なんて珍しいから、連絡来た時びっくりしちゃった。
夜更かしでもしてたの？

Saki

It's not that. I was dreaming last night so I think I got enough sleep.

そういうわけじゃないんだけど、
夢を見てたらずいぶん寝ちゃってたみたいで

Ichika

A dream? What kind of dream?

夢？　どんな夢だったの？

Saki

Eh? Umm, it's ...

え？　えーっと、それは……

Classmate

Tenma-san, Hoshino-san, our teacher will come soon.

天馬さん、星乃さん。
そろそろ先生が来そうだよ

Saki

Ah, I see! Thanks for telling us!

あっ、そ、そうだね！
ありがとう！

Saki

Come on! Icchan should take a seat too!

ほらほら！　いっちゃんも座って座って！

Ichika

O-okay.

う、うん

Saki

(... If I tell her that I dreamt about the time when I was sick, she would be worried.)

（……入院してた頃の夢を見たなんて言ったら、
きっと気を遣わせちゃうよね）

Saki

(Icchan has always been worried since she couldn't visit me much because my hospital was far away.)

（いっちゃん、アタシが遠くの病院に入院したせいで
あんまりお見舞いに来られなかったこと、ずっと気にしてたし）

Saki

(My body is okay now, so I won't make anyone worry about me.)

（今はもう体も大丈夫になったし、
みんなに心配かけたくないもん）

Saki

(I'll show them all my energy for today!)

（今日も元気にがんばるぞー！）

School Bell

After School

Saki

School's done! Let's go for practice, Icchan!

授業終わりっ！
練習行こ、いっちゃんっ！

Ichika

Yeah. Saki, you look more fired up ever since the morning.

うん。
咲希、今日なんだかテンション高いね

Saki

Yup! I almost was late this morning but now I'm perfectly fine!

うん！　朝は遅刻しかけちゃったけど、
今日はもうバッチリだよ！

Saki

Besides, we've promised to meet each other over there!

それに今日は、あっちに行く約束の日だしね！

Ichika

Yeah, you're right. It's been a while since the last time we went there so I'm very excited.

うん、そうだね。
久しぶりに行くから、楽しみだな

Honami

Ah, Saki-chan, Ichika-chan!

あ、咲希ちゃん、一歌ちゃん

Saki

Hona-chaaan! This is a good work for your study ... hug!

ほなちゃーん！
授業お疲れさまー……の、ハグ！

Hugging

Honami

Kyah! Sa-Saki-chan, it's dangerous if you suddenly hug me~

きゃっ！　さ、咲希ちゃん、
急に抱き着いたら危ないよ～

Shiho

Don't get too hyper in the corridor.

廊下で暴れないでよね

Saki

Ah, Shiho-chan! I'll give you a good work hug too ... ouch!

あ、しほちゃん！
それじゃあしほちゃんにも、お疲れさまのハグを……もがっ！

Record Scratch

Shiho

I told you don't get too hyper. Come on, we're going there today so don't let yourself stand out.

だから暴れるなって言ってるでしょ。
ほら、今日はあっち行くんだから、人目につかないところ行くよ

Record Scratch

Honami

Shiho-chan, if you pinch Saki-chan's cheeks like that her face will ... fufufu!

しほちゃん、そんなふうにほっぺた掴んだら
咲希ちゃんの顔が……ふふふっ

Ichika

Ahaha, Saki, your face looks weird.

あははっ、咲希、すごい顔になってる

Saki

Shiho-hyan, I hnow so pwease lemme go~!

しほひゃん、わはったはら、ほっぺはなひへ～！

Miyamasuzaka Girl Academy - School Gate

Ichika

I think not many people will come here so I guess it's okay. Are you guys ready?

……ここなら、人もいないみたいだし大丈夫かな。
みんなも大丈夫？

Saki

Yup!

うんっ！

Ichika

Okay ... let's go.

じゃあ……行くよ

Classroom Sekai

Miku

Welcome, everyone.

いらっしゃい、みんな

Luka

Fufu, we've been waiting.

ふふ、待ってたわ

Saki

Miku-chan, Luka-san, please take care of us too today! ♪

ミクちゃん、ルカさん！
今日もよろしくお願いしま～すっ♪

Miku

Of course! Saki, you look so fired up today.

うん。
咲希は今日も元気いっぱいだね

Ichika

But she almost was late this morning. I was surprised to hear that.

でも、朝は遅刻ギリギリだったんだよ。
びっくりしちゃった

Shiho

Really? It's rare for Saki to be late.

へぇ、そうなの？
咲希が遅刻しかけるなんて珍しいじゃん

Honami

You've always been punctual so that's weird. Did something happen?

いつもすごく早く登校してるもんね。
何かあったの？

Saki

Ehehe, I was sleepy so I fell asleep twice~

えへへ、ちょっと寝ぼけて二度寝しちゃったんだ～

Shiho

Now that sounds like you.

咲希っぽいっちゃ咲希っぽいね

Saki

More importantly, let's begin the practice earlier than have Miku and Luka watch the result!

それより、早くスタジオ練習の成果、
ミクちゃん達に聴いてもらおうよ！

Ichika

I agree. Well then, shall we prepare ourselves now?

そうだね。
それじゃ、準備しよっか

Honami & Shiho

"Sure."

『うん』

Saki

(I was surprised to see that dream but I'm totally fine now.)

（あの夢にはドキっとしたけど、今はもう大丈夫）

Saki

(Unlike me who was alone at that time, my friends are always with me now.)

（ひとりぼっちだったあの頃とは違う。
今は、みんながいつもそばにいてくれるもん）

Saki

(That's why I'm going to take back the time that I couldn't spend with them!)

（だからこれから、あの時過ごせなかったみんなとの時間を
たくさん取り戻していかなくっちゃ！）
