Ren: (So this is Kusunoki-san's musical instrument cafe...it's pretty and has a mature feeling)
Wataru: ...Thank goodness...it's here again today
Ren: ...?
Daimon: Welcome...you're here with Nanahoshi today
Ren: Kusunoki-san. I'm sorry to bother you. Um, Wataru is looking at...
Daimon: Hmm? Ah, that. It's a vintage bass, from the '60s. There are only a few that are in good condition in the country
Ren: ...I see, it's the one used by the bassist Wataru likes. I think I've seen a picture of it before
Daimon: I heard about that. He seems pretty fixated on it
Daimon: Ever since I put that up in my store, he's been showing up every day and looking at it all the time
Wataru: Ah...as expected it's nice...the texture of that dot binding...
Daimon: Well, even if he doesn't buy it, he'll still drinking tea while looking at it, so I have no problem with it here
Ren: Is it for sale? Ah, it had a price tag. One, ten, a hundred...that's quite a high price...
Daimon: It's cheaper than the market price though. Well, even so, it doesn't sell easily, so I displayed it like this to attract customers
Daimon: ...However, the only customer who came by was Matoba
Ren: So that was the case...hehe...
Wataru: ...what is it?
Ren: No, it's nothing
Ren: (It's rare for Wataru to show such a childlike face...that's why he didn't tell us, right?)
Ren: (For the time being, I'll keep this a secret from everyone. It's not my place to say...)

Yuuto: Alright, practice is over!
Wataru: My bad, today I also-
Yuuto: Are going to leave first like before, huh?
Wataru: Eh...?
Banri: You're going to tell us why today. The reason you've been disappearing often these days
Wataru: T-There's not particularly a big reason...
Banri: You don't have to say it! Just as I thought, there's someone you want to meet, right?!
Wataru: Eeh?!
Rio: ...Are you secretly going to a good curry place?
Wataru: What the heck is that? Did you say something to the others, Ren?
Ren: I didn't say anything! Not even about the cafe...ah...
Yuuto: A cafe? What cafe?
Wataru: ...Ah no more, this is annoying! I'll show you guys, so just come with me!

Banri: So in other words...Wataru-kun's been coming here all this time to see that bass?
Wataru: That's right...see? I didn't think it was worth mentioning
Yuuto: You really are like a kid who goes to the store to look at a toy they want. You were embarrassed, weren't you?
Wataru: N-N-No, definitely not!
Ren: (I knew it, that was the case)
Wataru: No...but, maybe that's how it really is
Wataru: I never thought I'd see this bass. Just the fact that it exists in front of my eyes is like a dream...
Koharu: ...Hmm~ So you're charmed by it that much
Wataru: Uwa! Mitsurugi-san...?!
Koharu: Then, why don't you try playing it?
