Hanayo Ep. 26: Forget about School Idols?!
Shioriko and Hanayo finally get to watch Hanayo's recommended school idol live show. You expect Hanayo to be more excited about school idols than ever after it, so why is she saying something that suggests the opposite?
Player
I'm so glad we got to watch that live show!
Hanayo
Me too! I had a lovely time, and I'm also glad Shioriko enjoyed it so much. This is the best day ever!
Player
Yeah! I could feel myself getting even more excited about school idols.
Hanayo
Exactly! I felt the same way.
Hanayo
My passion for school idols grew even stronger…
Hanayo
But this weekend, I've decided to completely forget about being a school idol.
Player
Wait, why?! Are you okay?!
Hanayo
One of my favorite school idols was interviewed in a magazine, and something she said puzzled me.
Hanayo
It was, “I hope that school idol fans know there are so many other wonderful things out there besides school idols.”
Player
I see… I wonder why she said that.
Hanayo
It is a mystery to me as well… I love school idols so much. Do I really need to enjoy anything else?
Player
Hmm… Maybe if we try and follow her advice, we'll understand what she meant.
Hanayo
Yes. That's why I've decided to ignore school idols all weekend and do something completely unrelated.
Player
In that case, how about we go see a movie? I hear there are tons of new movies coming out this week.
Player
There's this one everyone's talking about…
[Fade in/out.]
Hanayo
Oh my gosh, that was so moving! I think this is the first time I've ever seen such a touching romance film.
Player
Right? The way the characters couldn't tell each other how they really felt gave me so many emotions.
Hanayo
I totally understand how they felt. I feel the same way sometimes when I'm too shy to speak in front of my favorite school idols!
Hanayo
Have you ever had a time when you couldn't tell someone your feelings?
Player
Let me see…
| Option 1: “Not really.” |
|---|
| Player I guess not really… But I have had moments where I've started to panic because I felt like I had to get all my thoughts off my chest. Hanayo You're the type to take direct action, huh? I should be more like you. |
| Option 2: “Of course.” |
| Player Of course, I've had times when I haven't been able to express myself well. It always makes me feel so frustrated… Hanayo I know exactly what you mean! It's nice to know I'm not the only one. |
Hanayo
But the movie had a happy ending at least, so I'm glad about that.
Hanayo
Oh! That reminds me. This happiness we feel right now…is just like how we feel after watching a school idol live show, isn't it?
Player
Now that you mention it, it is!
Hanayo
I wonder if that's what the idol in the magazine meant… Now I want to learn more from other movies too!
Player
That sounds like a great idea! Let's go watch some other films!
Hanayo
Sure!
