{{Line|border=sakuya|dialogue=...Nn.}}
{{Line|border=sakuya|dialogue=W-what...? Where am I...?}}
{{Line|border=sakuya|dialogue=...I can hear a sound from somewhere around here... I wonder if someone is playing an instrument?}}
{{Line|border=sakuya|dialogue=The sound seems to be coming from the other side...}}

{{Line|character=Sakuya|border=sakuya|dialogue=Um... You guys are Banri-kun and the rest of the Autumn Troupe, right?}}
{{Line|character=Rabbit|border=banri|dialogue=...I'm a rabbit.}}
{{Line|character=Sakuya|border=sakuya|dialogue=H-huh? So that's not Taichi-kun...?}}
{{Line|character=Tanuki|border=taichi|dialogue=Y-you're wrong, I'm a tanuki...!}}
{{Line|border=taichi|dialogue=Um...t-that's right! Why don't you play with us, Sakkun?!}}

{{Line|character=Rabbit|border=banri|dialogue=Here, hold the instrument.}}
{{Line|character=Lion|border=sakyo|dialogue=Let us hear your sound.}}
{{Line|character=Sakuya|border=sakuya|dialogue=I-I wonder if it's okay... I can only make a scratchy sound when I practice...}}
{{Line|character=Wolf|border=omi|dialogue=You can definitely play it. It's okay.}}
{{Line|character=Sakuya|border=sakuya|dialogue=G-got it. ...Here I go...!}}
{{Line|border=sakuya|dialogue=♪~}}
{{Line|border=sakuya|dialogue=...! Whoa, I can actually play...!}}
{{Line|character=Lion|border=sakyo|dialogue=If you think you can't do it, then you won't be able to do it forever. It's important to have confidence in yourself.}}
{{Line|character=Bear|border=juza|dialogue=Just keep playing like you did now.}}

{{Line|border=sakuya|dialogue=(The sound of my cello and everyone else's sound are echoing together in a beautiful symphony.)}}
{{Line|border=sakuya|dialogue=This is so much fun...!}}

{{Line}}

{{Line|border=sakuya|dialogue=...!}}
{{Line|border=sakuya|dialogue=Huh? I was just playing cello in the forest...}}
{{Line|border=sakuya|dialogue=...A dream, huh... Did I have that dream because I met those cats yesterday...?}}
{{Line|border=sakuya|dialogue=(But the feeling of my fingers I used to play the cello with is still here...)}}
{{Line|border=sakuya|dialogue=(Wait, maybe I'll be able to play it now...!)}}

{{Line}}

{{Line|character=Izumi|border=izumi|dialogue=Ah, good morning, Sakuya-kun. You're up early, huh?}}
{{Line|character=Sakuya|border=sakuya|dialogue=Good morning! You're up early too, Director.}}
{{Line|character=Izumi|border=izumi|dialogue=Yeah, I woke up quite early so I thought I'd mop the training room. Are you gonna practice your instrument?}}
{{Line|character=Sakuya|border=sakuya|dialogue=I actually had a dream where I played cello with some animals in the forest. So I thought I might be able to play it now.}}
{{Line|border=sakuya|dialogue=I want to play while the feelings are still there.}}
{{Line|character=Izumi|border=izumi|dialogue=I see. Haha. Playing music with animals, that's very typical of Sakuya-kun.}}
{{Line|character=Sakuya|border=sakuya|dialogue=All right, I'll play it right away, then...!}}
{{Line|border=sakuya|dialogue=♪~...}}
{{Line|border=sakuya|dialogue=H-huh...?}}
{{Line|border=sakuya|dialogue=It's the same scratchy sound as yesterday... It doesn't sound like it did in my dream...}}
{{Line|border=sakuya|dialogue=Hmm... A dream really is just a dream, after all...}}
{{Line|character=Izumi|border=izumi|dialogue=But...I think the way you hold the instrument has changed a bit...?}}
{{Line|character=Sakuya|border=sakuya|dialogue=Huh?}}
{{Line|border=sakuya|dialogue=Come to think of it, I saw Squirrel-san's posture while playing the cello in my dream...so maybe I subconsciously mimicked that...}}
{{Line|character=Izumi|border=izumi|dialogue=Why don't you try it again with your current stance?}}
{{Line|character=Sakuya|border=sakuya|dialogue=Y-yes...!}}
{{Line|border=sakuya|dialogue=♪~...}}
{{Line|border=sakuya|dialogue=...!}}
{{Line|character=Izumi|border=izumi|dialogue=You did it! That was a beautiful sound, Sakuya-kun!}}
{{Line|character=Sakuya|border=sakuya|dialogue=You're right! This is the same clear sound as in my dream!}}
{{Line|border=sakuya|dialogue=Okay, one more time!}}
{{Line|border=sakuya|dialogue=♪~...}}
{{Line|border=sakuya|dialogue=Huh? It's the same scratchy sound again...}}
{{Line|character=Izumi|border=izumi|dialogue=But I think you're slowly getting the hang of it.}}
{{Line|character=Sakuya|border=sakuya|dialogue=It's just a matter of practicing again and again! At least that's what I think!}}

{{Line/Choice
|choice1=The sound of the cello really suits you.
|choice1dialogue=
{{Line|character=Izumi|border=izumi|dialogue=I feel like the gentle sound of the cello really suits you.}}
{{Line|character=Sakuya|border=sakuya|dialogue=Really?}}
{{Line|border=sakuya|dialogue=I also think that the sound of the cello is really beautiful. The more I practice playing it, the more I became fond of it!}}
{{Line|border=sakuya|dialogue=I still can't make a beautiful sound but...I want to practice more and be able to play even the simple songs.}}
{{Line|border=sakuya|dialogue=I'll do my best to bring that comforting sound that I dreamed of to the director!}}

|choice2=You really look like a music student.
|choice2dialogue=
{{Line|character=Izumi|border=izumi|dialogue=You really look like a music student when you're practicing like that.}}
{{Line|character=Sakuya|border=sakuya|dialogue=Really?}}
{{Line|character=Izumi|border=izumi|dialogue=Yeah. The Sakuya-kun who is facing the cello so straightforwardly is really cool.}}
{{Line|character=Sakuya|border=sakuya|dialogue=T-thank you very much...!}}
{{Line|border=sakuya|dialogue=Practicing a musical instrument is difficult, but just like practicing a play, it gets more fun the more you do it!}}
{{Line|border=sakuya|dialogue=I'm really looking forward to the performance scene with everyone!}}

{{Line}}

{{Line|character=Izumi|border=izumi|dialogue=It's about time for everyone to wake up. We should wrap it up here.}}
{{Line|character=Sakuya|border=sakuya|dialogue=You're right.}}
{{Line|character=Izumi|border=izumi|dialogue=By the way, your dream of playing music with animals is quite novel. It's like a scene from a fairy tale.}}
{{Line|character=Sakuya|border=sakuya|dialogue=...To be honest, it was more like guys in animal costumes, rather than real animals.}}
{{Line|border=sakuya|dialogue=Real animals were around to listen to the performance as well... But there was a quartet of guys in animal costumes playing music.}}
{{Line|character=Izumi|border=izumi|dialogue=Eh, were they possibly a rabbit and a bear...?}}
{{Line|character=Sakuya|border=sakuya|dialogue=Yes. But when I asked if he was Banri-kun, he said that he was a rabbit...}}
{{Line|character=Izumi|border=izumi|dialogue=Ahaha, is that so? I guess he felt that since he's wearing a costume, he shouldn't say his name so easily?}}
{{Line|character=Sakuya|border=sakuya|dialogue=But they were a very nice quartet!}}
{{Line|character=Izumi|border=izumi|dialogue=Let's talk about it later with the Autumn Troupe over breakfast.}}
{{Line|character=Sakuya|border=sakuya|dialogue=Ahaha, okay!}}
