Ayumu! Did you see it already? There's been a huge increase in the number of people applying to join your fan club!

I did! This is so amazing…

You've been getting more and more members every day lately.

Everything in my life is going so well right now that it all feels like a dream.

*Chuckle* Don't say things like that. You're not dreaming.

Just to be sure… Could you pinch my cheek for me?

Huh? Uh, I dunno about that…

Just try it. If this is a dream then it won't hurt, and even if it does hurt I'll be happy since it'll mean all of this is real.

W-Well, okay. Here goes nothing!

O-Okay!

Now do you believe me?

Yup! *Giggle* It's all real. I'm so, so happy.

Me too! I'm glad everyone sees just how amazing you are!

A-Amazing? That's a bit of an exaggeration.

Not at all. All these people who signed up for your fan club are proof that you are.

I really am happy about that, but being called “amazing” just doesn't feel right.

I'm just a regular person. There are so many people out there who are way more amazing.

What makes people want to support someone so average like me?

Maybe that's precisely what everyone loves about you?

What do you mean by that?

That so-called “average” side of you. Maybe everyone finds you relatable?

I think people feel as though they can give it their all when they see you doing the same. Watching you brings out that same energy within them.

So you're saying I have something to give that nobody else does?

Exactly. Something only you're able to give.

I see… Since you're saying it, I'll believe it! If that's really the case, then I wanna do something to bring joy to everyone who supports me. Got any good ideas?

How about we start thinking about something you can do for your next event?

Okay!
