Shioriko Ep. 10: Beloved Neighbors?!
At the grand school event that is the Nijigasaki Film Festival, clubs hoping to win will screen their films. Each club has asked a School Idol Club member for promotion help. What kind of movie will Shioriko make?
Player
Excuse me, Shioriko… Huh?
Satsuki
President! Please hold on!
Uzuki
You can do it! Be confident!
Shioriko
It's too hard, too difficult…
Player
Wh-What's going on here?!
Satsuki
Oh, it's the president of the School Idol Club!
Uzuki
Please cheer up our president. She's lost her confidence.
Player
Ah…
Shioriko
It's about the film festival. I'm confident when it comes to running the event, but making a movie feels like it may be too much for me to bear.
Player
But haven't you studied up on all sorts of things together with Setsuna?
Shioriko
Yes. She's shown me a selection of films with various directorial styles.
Shioriko
However, the more I learn, the more difficult it feels…
Satsuki
President!
Shioriko
I can watch a film and understand that it's fun and exciting.
Shioriko
But when I ask myself if I can make something like that, I lose all confidence. All my life, I've felt so distanced from such things.
Player
I don't think that's true.
Satsuki
Exactly! Tell her!
Uzuki
President, you're one of the people who made the School Idol Festival such a success, so you should have more confidence in yourself.
Player
Yes, I think so too. But I do understand how you can feel lost at first, so let's break this down and think about it in smaller parts.
[Fade in/out.]
Player
In your opinion, what would be an ideal movie that promotes the student council?
Shioriko
Hmm… Something that expresses the fundamental principles of our student council and the activities we carry out, I think. An explanation of that would be essential.
Satsuki
That's too stiff for a video, President!
Shioriko
S-Stiff…? But it's a video intended to teach people about our organization and make them feel closer to the student council.
Player
Yes! Shioriko, that's it! Closeness! You want people to learn more about the student council that all of you cherish so much, and feel a sense of familiarity with it, right?
Shioriko
Correct! I do!
Uzuki
Closeness… If that's all it is, then I believe we have our answer already.
Satsuki
Yes, President! Our closest confidantes and beloved neighbors are school idols!
Uzuki
In other words, we should make a movie that showcases the charm of Shioriko Mifune, the newly minted school idol and school council president!
Shioriko
What?!
| Option 1: “I agree.” |
|---|
| Player I agree with them, Shioriko. Shioriko You too? I-I understand… If that's how it has to be. |
| Option 2: “That's the only way.” |
| Player That's the only way, Shioriko. Shioriko The only way? I suppose I will have to prepare myself then… |
Shioriko
I know what I must do now! I, Shioriko Mifune, will create the short film of a lifetime!
Satsuki, Uzuki
YAY!
