One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. Okay, that's good for now. Let's take a ten minute break.

Oof, that was tough. We never get to take it easy.

I am amazed at how well you are keeping up with us, Shioriko. For you not to be short of breath is astonishing.

Yes, and your movements are so graceful. I couldn't help but watch you, even though I should be focusing on my own moves.

She's so inspiring… I need to work even harder.

Oh, please excuse me. I must leave now for today.

Wow, is it this late already? All right. Good work today.

Likewise, thank you. See you next time.

Shioriko goes home early sometimes, right? I wonder why?

She probably has a lesson to go to. Didn't Ai find out that she takes Japanese dance, tea ceremony, and flower arrangement lessons? Among other things, too.

I can't believe she takes so many extracurricular lessons!

She takes a ton of lessons, she's in our school idol club, and she volunteers on the weekends… When the heck does she have time for student council stuff?

I think she said she does that work before club practice and during her lunch break. Lately, she even seems to come to school early to get her work done.

She's incredible… I don't think I could ever do all that, even if I were in her shoes.

Are you suuure she really takes all those lessons? I'll have to see it to believe it!

That settles it! Let's follow her!

We're in the middle of practice, you know?

But I wanna see Shio-ti doing her lessons! Seriously, I really wanna follow her!

Practice is important, of course, but this might be a good chance for us to get to know Shioriko better.

I want to know too. Rina-chan Board says, “Restless.”

*Sigh* Okay. Just for today though, all right?

Thanks, Prez!

This is the Japanese dance school that Shioriko goes to, right?

What a fancy building.

In we go!

W-Wait, Kasumi!

Are you sure we should just barge into a fancy building like this?

You're right. We shouldn't just waltz on in.

Oh, look at this sign.

Let's see, it says, “Visitors may watch lessons in session. Please inquire at the reception desk.”

So as long as we talk to reception first, we can watch Shioriko's lesson?

Sweet! Let's go and watch!

[Fade in/out.]

Shioriko is so beautiful…

Yeah. I can't take my eyes off her elegant movements.

Shioriko really is amazing.

*Grumble* I can do that too, you know!

I doubt it.

*Sob*

…?
