That was a great practice session, Honoka! And it looks as though your sub-unit live show preparations are going well too.

*Giggle* Thanks! Getting to talk everything through in detail with Kotori and Hanayo the other day probably helped.

Right, you did say that finding each other's amazing qualities helped you to be more confident.

Yeah! The two of them have so many great qualities. I only wish I'd told them about them earlier.

It's not like Kotori and Hanayo started being amazing just because I identified those qualities. They've been amazing since the beginning.

I'm really, really glad that they noticed what makes them so special!

And it made me realize that I want lots and lots of other people to notice the appeal of those two as well!

And not just Kotori and Hanayo. All of μ's, and Aqours, and Nijigasaki are great.

I wanna keep finding wonderful things about all of us and keep on sharing them!

'Cause the people around me are seriously the BEEEEEEST!

And I owe it all to you that I feel this awesome! Thank you so much!

Don't be silly! I should be thanking you for everything!

Wait a minute! You have plenty of amazing qualities of your own, y'know!

Huh? Really? I'm not a school idol, though. Is that allowed?

I only made all these new breakthroughs recently because I had you rooting for me!

So I think you're really amazing. Don't forget that, okay?

*Chuckle* Thank you!

Ahhhh!

Wh-What's wrong?!

I was so absorbed in looking for awesome things about you that I forgot! Today's the submission deadline for the venue application!

Ah, right. But we still have time, so it should be okay. Should we go fill in the forms and submit them now?

Yeah, let's do that!

[Fade in/out.]

Thank goodness we made it, Honoka!

Thanks for the help! Still, I messed up again. I really have to focus more!

It's okay! I don't think this case really qualifies as messing up.

While you pull Kotori and Hanayo forward, I'll be right behind you to support you at every step. Let's do our best together!

Really? Do you mean it?

Of course I do!

After all, your awesome enthusiasm and how it draws everyone in is one of your amazing qualities, isn't it?

Oh yeah. Thanks! *Giggle* I sure am lucky to have you!

Now that that's off my mind, I could really use something to eat.

Then let's stop by a bakery on the way back!

Woo-hoo!
