Ayumu Ep. 3: Stay with Me
On your way home together on the train, you realize this is the first time you and Ayumu are in the same club. Ayumu seems happy that the realization makes you glad.
Ayumu
Our show is just around the corner. It's kind of nerve-racking, isn't it?
Player
Oh yeah, this upcoming show is going to be your first, right?
Player
It's going to be a battle of the school idols, where only the idols who get the most fan votes move on. Practice has been pretty tough. How are you handling it?
Ayumu
I'm fine. I don't mind getting a good workout in, and learning so much new stuff is honestly really fun.
Player
Really? I know you try too hard sometimes, so I'm a little worried. If it's too tough, just tell me and I'll make adjustments.
Ayumu
Thanks. Talking like this makes me glad that we're in the same club.
Player
Wait, is the School Idol Club the first club we've been in together?
Ayumu
Yeah. We've never talked like this about club life while walking home together.
Player
Huh… I thought we always did everything together, but I guess that wasn't the case.
Ayumu
……
Player
Then that makes me even happier we're in the School Idol Club together. I definitely would have regretted it if we never ended up in the same club!
Ayumu
I'm really happy, too!
Player
*Giggle* You already said that. Thanks.
Ayumu
I just started doing this school idol stuff, so I'll try my hardest to learn as much as I can.
Ayumu
Teach me everything you know!

Player
One, two, three, four! One, two, three, four! Stop!
Ayumu
Okay!
Ai
Ayumu, that was great!
Karin
It was. You said you weren't confident in your dancing abilities, so I expected you to have two left feet, but you did fine.
| Option 1: “You've got rhythm, so there's no problem.” |

| Player Yeah, you've got rhythm, so there's no problem. You'll do fine at the next event! Ayumu Oh, good. I practiced a lot, but I was still worried. |
| Option 2: “You practiced a lot, didn't you?” |
| Player You even fixed the spots you messed up a lot before. You must have practiced a lot. Ayumu You think so? What a relief. I've been worried, even when I wasn't making mistakes. I'm happy to hear you say that. |
Player
Sometimes you can't practice away uneasiness. Ai, Karin, thanks for watching with me.
Ai
You're welcome! I know how Ayumu feels. With the event coming up I'm so excited I can only sleep at night!
Karin
So everything is fine?
Player
Have some confidence, Ayumu. I understand why you're nervous, but you can do it!
Ayumu
Thanks. If I work even harder, I'm sure I'll do even better.
Ayumu
What do you think I should work on? Will you give me some advice?
Player
Huh? Um, right… Like…
Ai
Ayumu has a fire in her eyes.
Karin
Having passion is a great thing, regardless of what it might be for. Right?
