Maki Ep. 21: Let’s Make It Ourselves!

With the success of her sub-unit live show, Maki gains a deeper appreciation for school idols with each passing day. However, she seems troubled when she catches wind of something Honoka and Chika are planning.

Honoka

Chika, are you free this Saturday? Let's finalize our plans for that thing!

Chika

Yeah! Let's do it!

Player

What are you two up to?

Honoka

We came up with an idea recently to make a video introducing school idol choreography! I've been planning it with Chika.

Chika

We might reach some people who like dancing, but don't know anything about school idols! It'd be cool to expand our network in that way, don't you think?

Maki

Huh… I've never thought of that approach before.

Player

I hope it goes well! If there's anything you need help with, give me a shout!

Honoka

Yeah! Thanks!

Maki

Me too…

Chika

Hm? What's up, Maki?

Maki

N-Nothing!

Player

Hm?

[Fade in/out.]

Player

Honoka and Chika are putting their efforts into so many activities. We need to pull our weight too!

Maki

…Yes, I agree.

Player

What's wrong? Is there something bothering you?

Maki

Not in particular. I was thinking how amazing it is that Honoka and Chika can start something new like that. I felt a bit envious of them, that's all.

Maki

I'd also like to do something to expand my horizons, just like them.

Player

That sounds great. Why don't you give it a go, then?

Maki

You're right. I think I could at least lend them a hand.

Player

That's not what I meant! I mean, why don't you make a new event of your own, the same way Honoka and Chika did?

Maki

Me? Make an event?!

Player

Yeah!

Maki

N-No, I couldn't! I've never done something like that before. It wouldn't go well at all.

Player

No way! It's such a shame to give up before you've even started.

Option 1: “It's fine, even if you fail!”

Player

It's fine, even if you fail! Just give it a try for now.

Maki

“Just”?! That's easier said than done!

Option 2: “I'll help you!”

Player

I'll help you! So why don't we try starting something together?

Maki

Ack… I do feel more assured with you by my side, but…

Maki

I appreciate the thought, but I can't do it like those two can.

Player

Maki…

Player

(I wonder if there's anything I can do for her…)
