<p>
During the break, Takumi's (one of Irodori members) fans is talking about the new song Irodori will perform for the band contest, should it be Beast or X-Nippon. Takumi hands the question to you since you are the one who compose the songs for Irodori. You answered that you haven't made the song.
As the training ends, you and other members walk home together. Then, you said that you are jealous of Takumi for having a lot of fans. Takumi replied that you also have one.. and she is in the same club.. looking at you puzzled of his answer, Takumi then cut the conversation . On the way, he met Katagiri Ayako, his classmate and a member of Arts Club. This is your first meeting with Aya-chan.

<p>Suzune asked you whether she is your type.... (you can choose yes, not really, or different). You ask Takumi about Ayachan, and he replied that she doesn't really care about Irodori. After that Takumi and Kouji take different way from Suzune and you. He teased Suzune to not letting you go home late.. and you replied that she is only like your sister. On the way home, she asks you to make a beautiful song that you really like, no matter how long it would take...

<p>The next day, you start to make your new song at the rooftop, your favourite place to make songs. While making the new song, Aya-chan comes.

She says that your song is beautiful, that there is a part of the lyric that reminds her of her favourite song. Being very sensitive, you ask her what does she mean by that. "Are you saying I'm copying from others?" you asked.. She is surprised and says it wasn't what she meant.. after that she leaves by saying "Tsumaranaine, uta tsukutte", which refers to the difficulty of making a song... You were shocked by her saying and start to wonder whether you have really made good songs so far, or just simply take the favourite part of others' song... An answer you seek as you make the new song...
