This kind of pacing is great. Really builds the tension before reading the next chapter. I can't wait to see that old man fight against those troops!
Anyways, thanks for the translation!

I think Mitsuoka wanted a change of pace after listening the song and then jamming with Shiori-sensei's group.
Dare I say... she wanted to "experience" something more than perfection. Playing music just because it was a fun thing to do, not only because it gives her medals and praise.
