Ryo: Mm…soft drinks on Earth taste so good.
Miyuki: It's becoming a bit of a custom for me to buy you drinks...well, whatever.
Ryo: Hey, Miyuki-kun, did something happen?
Miyuki: …Why’re you asking that?
Ryo: I've been feeling a little strange.
I think Earthlings call it…”worried”.
Miyuki: Hm~, I was going to tell you all once the issue had settled.
So…y'know that event that my favourite drummer was hosting? The one I was supposed to perform at?
Ryo: Yeah. You were really looking forward to it.
Miyuki: Well…the other day they called me and asked me to drop out because of a mistake in the bookings.
Ryo: Really?
Miyuki: So the past few days, I’ve been desperately promoting myself, trying to earn a spot.
Yesterday I invited myself to a drinking party and today I barged into the agency… but I know it doesn’t excuse being late to rehearsal.
Ryo: I see. You’ve been trying really hard.
Miyuki: I’ve been holding it in ever since…hey, aren’t I being a little quick to tell you this?
Ryo: You think so?
Miyuki: Ryo-chin, when I’m with you…it feels silly to try and act cool or make myself look good.
Ryo: You’re already cool just the way you are…
Miyuki: Maybe there’s no point in trying to act cool with an alien?
Ryo: Why don’t you tell the others just like you told me?
Miyuki: …I can’t
Ryo: You can’t?
Miyuki: I can’t.
Miyuki-kun, who was so excited to perform on the same stage as his favourite drummerー
Miyuki-kun, who was frantically running around when it fell throughー
I can’t tell the others if I’m not even guaranteed to performー
Ryo: Why? It’d be fine to tell them.
Miyuki: No it wouldn’t! I guess aliens just can’t understand the male mind….
It’s not the right time to talk about it anyway. Not after Nayuta said I should quit if I don’t have the determination
It’s not that I’m undetermined…what am I gonna do?
Ryo: Hm~, why don’t you try discussing it with Kenken?
Miyuki: Kenta? But he’s the one I’ve got a problem with. I even took my frustrations out on him earlier.
Ryo: But he’s right there.
Miyuki: Right there~?
……Huh?

Kenta: What's wrong? Don't you have something to discuss with me?
Miyuki: …Huhhh!? How long have you been there!?
Kenta: A little while.
Miyuki: Were you listening to us!?
Kenta: From around the time you started talking about standing on the same stage as your favourite drummer.
Miyuki: This is the worst! Nothing could get lamer than this!
