Oh, you… You're going to be helping μ's, aren't you?

Yeah. I'm looking forward to it, Umi!

I'm excited to see what I can do. I'd been waiting so long to come here.

*Giggle* I'm looking forward to seeing what we can do together. Honoka and Kotori are excited for it, too!

Really? I'm so happy. I'd love to have come if you had club tomorrow, too.

Umi, you've been friends with Honoka and Kotori since you were small, right? Do you hang with them on your days off?

Yes, sometimes. I often have Japanese dance and archery practice, though.

You do Japanese dancing and archery on top of being a school idol? Sounds hectic.

I've been doing both since I was little, so I'm used to it. I feel restless if I'm not practicing them, actually.

I see! (Practicing something comes naturally to her.)

So did you start your school idol life because of your Japanese dancing?

Oh, no! I guess you can say Honoka dragged me into it. I barely knew school idols existed before that.

It was Honoka's dream, too.

Honoka's dream? Becoming a school idol?

Honoka dreams of getting the whole school excited through being a school idol. I want that dream of hers to come true.

Honoka is really important to you, isn't she?

*Giggle* Yes. She's always dragging me around, but I don't mind it. I think Kotori feels the same way.

So you're in μ's to fulfill her dream.

Oh, no! That's not the only reason! I wasn't interested at first, but…

The more I practice and perform on stage with everyone, the more I grow to like school idols.

Honoka has always been bringing us into new worlds with her, even since we were kids.

It's hard to explain how I feel about school idols, but I think you might already understand it.

(Learning to love school idols?)

*Giggle* Looks like we're going to like school idols even more.

Yeah! I can't wait!

(Umi is serious about being a school idol. I have to do my best to support her.)
