Kaoru: This cannot be... How could I have been so blind...?
Kokoro: So a band needs a bassist too, huh! Thanks, Kanon! I dunno what this band would do without you, you're a lifesaver!
Sonic: Nice job, Kanon.
Kanon blushes.
Kanon: Th-that's not... I-I'm just glad you understand... (I- I think it's just common knowledge, but still.. it is nice to be told that you helped someone out...)
Kokoro: Okay then, let's get searching for the bassist. I think I have an idea already, but I'm gonna need your guys' help!
Sonic: Does that includes me?
Kokoro: Yes, you!
Sonic: *Sigh* Fine, ill help.
Kokoro: Yeah!

Misaki: Ahh... Whew... So... heavy...! Day one... and already... too much... Now I know... why this pays so well...!
Manager: Hello, everyone! Our delightful little shopping street now has its very own mascot! Please welcome the lovable pink bear, Michelle!
The kids start to go around her.
Misaki: (N-no, please don't... Stay away... Just take the flyers quietly and go...)
Passing kids: Yay! Michelle, Michelle! I wanna huh Michelle!
The kid hugs Michelle.
Misaki: Ugh! Off! Th-this is not in the job description...! Huh? Is that Kokoro Tsurumaki...? And Sonic, too...?

Kokoro: It took a while to get things together, but it's finally here! Our new band recruitment poster, featuring guitarist Kaoru Seta!
Kaoru: It was no east decision, featuring s close up of me like this. Every photo we took was just so exquisite, it took me three days without sleep jus to choose one...
Sonic: Wow...
Kokoro: They said we couldn't hand them out at school for some reason, so we'll just have to start here instead!
Kaoru: I imagine my darling little lambs will be arriving in their droves soon enough...
Kanon: (A poster with almost nothing but the face of a girl from another school... I'm not surprised we weren't allowed to hand them out at Hanasakigawa...)
Kokoro: Calling all bassists, calling all bassists! Come and enjoy a new band life with us!
Kaoru: Come to me, my little kittens. I love each and every one of you, equally...
Sonic: Good grief...
Passing kid: Mommy, what are they doing?
Passerby: Shh, don't look at them, darling. Come on, let's go and see the bear!

A few minutes later:
Kanon: E-everyone is walking straight past us...
Kokoro: Weird. Are we doing something wrong?
Kaoru: I was afraid this might happen... I must apologize, my princesses, prince...! It is difficult for these people to approach my radiant beauty...
Sonic looks around as he sees something from the distance.
Sonic: Huh? Is that... a bear?
Kokoro: Huh?
Akari: Michelle! Shake my hand please!
Michelle: .....
Kokoro: .....
Sonic: There's kids over there.
Michelle: .....!
Misaki: Uh oh. This can't be goo. Kokoro Tsurumaki and Sonic are staring right at me... I... should probably run...
Kokoro: Michelle! Can you hand out these posters for us?!
Sonic: Hmm?
Manager: Huh? Excuse me, this mascot belongs to the stores here, you can't just- .....?!
Three girls with suits walks in.
Sonic: What the?
The suits: Hello, there. We're from the advertising regulations department for this shopping district. Will you come with us, please?
Misaki: (Wait... what?)
Kokoro gives Michelle the posters.
Kokoro: Here you go! We printed a whole bunch of them! We'll be doing our best over there, too. Good luck!
Michelle: (I'm supposed to be working here...! Wait, where'd the boss go?!)
Passing kid: Michelle! What are these posters? Can I have one? Please?
Kokoro: Fufu! A grand success!
Sonic: Wow, it worked.
Hagumi runs in.
Hagumi: Ahh! There you are Akari, you little slacker! Go on, get back to practice- A bear!
Akari: Ack! Captain Hagumi!
Michelle: (The croquette girl from before...?)

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Hagumi: A bear! An actual bear! Woohoo! Isn't it just adorable, Akari? What's your name?
Kokoro: She's Michelle! She's helping us find members for our new band!
Misaki: (Wait wait wait, hold on a minute! I'm not helping anyone do anything. I'm just trying to get my job done...!)
Sonic: Hmm?
Sonic walks towards Michelle.
Misaki: Wh-what is Sonic doing?! Please! Get back! Get back!
Sonic raises his right hand up.
Misaki: Huh? Does he want a hi five?!
Misaki was blushing.
Misaki: .....
Sonic hi fives Michelle.
Sonic: It seems nice.
Hagumi: I've never seen a band with a bear before!
Michelle: (You still haven't get it! I'm not in the band!)
Hagumi: Ahh! Is that a pet?!
Sonic: Huh?
Hagumi deeply hugs Sonic.
Hagumi: Oh my gosh!
Sonic: Grr... I can't breathe!
Hagumi: Huh? You can talk?
Sonic: Yeah, I'm a hedgehog. Name's Sonic.
Hagumi: I'm Hagumi Kitazawa. Nice to meet you.
Sonic: Likewise.
Kokoro: Michelle is going to help us find members! This is so amazing!
Sonic: Huh? How can a bear be in a band anyway?
Misaki: At least Sonic gets it.
Kokoro: Hmm? She's shaking her head... Are you trying to say you wanna join us? Okay, you're in! You can be our band bear!
Michelle: (No, no no no! What is a "band bear" anyway?!)
Sonic: Is that even possible? It's obviously a mascot. There's someone in there.
Misaki: Sonic, help me!
Kokoro: And it says it wants to join!
Sonic: Huh?
Kaoru: Fufufu. How excitable, how adorable. Shall I compare thee to a summer's day..
Michelle: (They... can't hear me at all, can they...?)
Hagumi: Hmm? Wait... you're that Kokoro-chan from 1C, right? I'm Hagumi Kitazawa, 1A. We go to the same school.
Kokoro: Huh...? Oh yeah, now that you mention it, I think I've seen you before! You go to Hanasakigawa, huh. This is perfect! Ever thought about joining a band?
Hagumi: A band...? Well, my brother is in a band! I have been kinda interested myself, too. But what does a band even do?
Akari: I guess... they play music. Don't you know anything other than softball and other sports, Hagumi-chan?
Sonic: Oh, I see. So you're an athlete, huh?
Hagumi: Yep! Are you too?
Sonic: Yeah, I am.
Hagumi: Awsome!
Kokoro: Anyway, you wanna join?
Hagumi: Uhh... I don't know the rules, or how to beat other bands or anything like that...
Kokoro: There's no rules and we don't need to compete! All we need is to have fun as we go along!
Hagumi: No rules... no competition... Just have fun... and enjoy...?
Sonic: That's what she said.
Hagumi: Count me in! I wanna join the band!
Kokoro: Thank you, Hagumi!
Sonic: Now that's four.
Kanon: U-umm... Can you play bass, Hagumi-san...? It's just... we only need a bassist right now...
Sonic: Well, it's time I go.
Kokoro: Huh? You're leaving?
Sonic: Yep. I got someone to go with, see ya later.
Sonic walks to where Michelle is.
Sonic: I kinda feel bad for you, well, whoever you are. Bye now.
Misaki: W-wait!
Sonic runs off.
