Maki Ep. 16: I Need to Study More?!

After Maki's solo live show, the two of you are closer than ever. She's about to get started on songwriting for BiBi's sub-unit live show, but something's on her mind.

Player

Great job, Maki. Let's give our all in the lead-up to BiBi's sub-unit live show, starting today!

Maki

About that—I want to talk to you about something. Is now good?

Player

Of course! I'm all ears.

Maki

I'm mulling over what kind of song to write for our sub-unit live show. We're different from regular ÎĽ's, you know? So I just don't know what to do.

Player

I see. You're right—school idols come in groups, solo performers, and sub-units, and they're all different.

Eli

So you're wondering whether it's okay to write a song similar to what you would for ÎĽ's, right?

Maki

I do want to write a BiBi-esque song, but…

Nico

You know way too little about school idols! I'm shocked you've even managed to make it this far, considering that.

Maki

D-Don't you think that's saying a bit much?!

Nico

No matter how cute you are or how well you can write songs, you've still got a long way to go as a school idol if you barely understand what they're all about.

Maki

Excuse me?!

Nico

Here, take this! I'll let you borrow some of my prized school idol materials, so make sure you study up real hard.

Maki

What? You're going to lend me these?

Nico

In return, I want you to write the best song ever for BiBi!

Eli

*Giggle* There you go trying to hide your true feelings again, Nico.

Eli

Maki, you always write the best songs, so I'm not worried about that. However, I agree with Nico. Maybe it would be good to refresh your school idol studies.

Maki

Yeah…

[Fade in/out.]

Maki

*Sigh*

Player

Are you okay, Maki?

Maki

I'm fine. I really don't want to admit it, but Nico and Eli are right.

Maki

I've always tried to tackle being a school idol head-on, but I need to study more. I gotta put my heart into it.

Player

Maki…

Option 1: “Let's study together.”

Player

There are still so many things I don't know about school idols myself, so let's study together, Maki!

Maki

That sounds like a great idea. I'm sure it'll help you to write songs as well, so let's do just that!

Option 2: “You should grow to love school idols more!”

Player

You should grow to love school idols more. You'll have more fun that way!

Maki

*Chuckle* That's true. We don't have BiBi live shows every day, after all. I gotta make sure I enjoy myself!

Maki

I was completely clueless. I want to learn more about school idols!

Player

Yeah, let's learn more about school idols! We'll use the materials Nico loaned to you, and then I'll ask all the others too!

Maki

You're so reliable that way. I'm sorry for making you go to that trouble.

Player

There's no need to apologize. We're friends, after all.

Maki

Friends… *Giggle* Thanks! Let's give it our all, together.
