Ahh, I had so much fun! Live streaming is the best!

I had fun too! The stream was dynamic since we went all over the place, and since you're great at talking, the comment section was really hyped up.

*Giggle* Thank you! I'm glad they enjoyed it.

I'm super satisfied too, but Uranohoshi still has so many appeals. I'll need to continue doing this during my second and third live streams.

Are we planning the second live stream already? Will everyone in Aqours stream individually again?

Yes!—is what I'd like to say, but I'll need to ask everyone for their thoughts too. But even if everyone else leaves it at this, I'd like to continue doing this personally.

If that happens, can I help you out again?

Of course! I'd love your help. You're a great assistant!

I look forward to it! There'll be more viewers next time.

Mmm! Just thinking about it is making my heart burn with excitement! Maybe I should do my second stream tonight!

[Fade in/out.]

I wonder what I should show people in my next live stream. Should I delve into the history of Uranohoshi? Showing how our classes are taught…would be a bit of a stretch.

That reminds me, Mari. You planned out the order in which you showed things in today's live stream, right? What made you leave the clubroom until the end?

…Why do you ask?

It's a place that's related to Aqours, so I wouldn't have been surprised if you introduced it first. I felt like there was a meaning behind you showing it at the end.

*Giggle* Not only are you a great assistant, but you're a great detective too.

Wait, was there really a meaning behind it?

Yeah. I planned to show the clubroom at the end. Everyone goes home once something ends, right? Live streams are like that too. You say goodbye and go home.

Home…? Do you mean the clubroom is your home?

Of course, it's not like it's my actual home. I find it just as familiar and comforting as my real house, though. It's just as you said.

If you come here, you'd find someone from Aqours. Even if it's empty, you can still see traces of them everywhere. You might be on your own, but you're never alone.

I love the time I get to spend with Aqours. And I love the time I get to spend with you.

I get to relax with everyone, talk to everyone, and run towards the same goal as everyone as a school idol. This is a place where I can be myself and spend quality time.

That's why I left the clubroom last. A place for arrivals is also a place for departures. Isn't it perfect for making promises about the second stream…or rather, the future?

Mari… You're right. Making promises in a place you love would fill both parties with excitement and hope.

*Giggle* I really look forward to my next stream! Let's move with haste. Why don't we at least schedule our next meeting?

Sure. Let's make our next stream just as enjoyable!
