Hey, Shioriko! Did you just get back?

Yes, I did.

Since when did you start partying late at night? You had me so worried!

I wasn't partying. I stayed over at Kanata's, which I let everyone here at home know yesterday.

Besides, you're one to talk.

You've barely been home since you formed the School Idol Festival Committee.

It's okay for me to do that. But we're talking about you right now, not me.

It's the same thing. Please listen to what I have to say too. I—

You should be listening to me first. You know, you're still a kid, so—

ENOUGH!

[Fade in/out.]

Hello? I'm coming in.

Oh! Hello, Shioriko!

Do you mind if I practice here today as well?

Ooh, because you want to gaze upon my cuteness?

I feel at ease when I see you…because you're so easy to understand.

Yes, yes! My cuteness is so easy to understand! You can gaze upon me as much as you like!

Heya, Shioriko. Haven't seen you since this morning!

Your mom even gave us a call! I told her we'd love to have you over again.

Um, thank you. I wouldn't want to trouble your family too often, though.

Haruka also said she'd love to talk with you more, so please do come by again soon.

She did? Wow, thank you. I'm glad that she enjoyed my company.

A sleepover?! That's not fair. I want to come too!

Me too! I'd love to watch school idol videos all through the night together.

Why don't we do a pajama party then? I want to cook with everyone, like we did at our training camp!

Um, Kanata? And everyone else… I have something that I want to discuss with all of you.

What is it?

Oh! Is it what I'm thinking of?

Yes, it is. I want to put on a live show!

Ooh! We'll help, of course!

All of us will pitch in. Have you already decided what you want to do for it, Shioriko?

Yes. What I want to do is…declare war on my big sister!

Whaaaaaat?!

[Fade in/out.]

I see. You're doing this because she won't listen to you any other way.

What's her problem?! I feel so bad for you, Shioko! Vent all your feelings out on her!

Ooh, you remembered my suggestion from yesterday.

Yes. When you said that I have a new way of getting through to her because I'm a school idol now, I realized that putting on a live show was my only choice.

I'm not the child that my sister thinks I am anymore.

I want to knock her over the head with the fact that I'm a person of my own and her equal now.

I gave up on getting through to her in the past, and all that frustration has built up over years and years. Now I'm going to put it into my songs and throw it in her face!

*Huff* *Puff*

Um, sorry. I got a bit too heated there.

Deep breaths, Shioriko.

I never knew you could shout like that, Shioko!

Um, that's, uh…

It's all right! We hear you loud and clear, and we'll do whatever we can to help!

What Shizuku said! We'll pitch in with everything we've got.

But you know, since you're part of the School Idol Association, how about we do this live show with them as well?

You make a good point. All right, I'll talk it over with Lanzhu.

[Fade in/out.]

So to sum it up… I'm determined to hold this live show no matter what.

We were thinking of getting people from both the Association and the Club to help out with it.

My goal is to make my sister understand how I feel, and I would appreciate your help!

Just leave it to me! I could never turn down a request from you, Shioriko, so don't fret!

Fine by me. We'll throw Kaoruko so off guard she won't know what hit her.

Using a live show to get your feelings across to your sister, huh? Color me intrigued.

Nice, I love these kinds of surprises! We'll do our best to make sure that you succeed.

Thank you all so much!

You just have to stun Kaoruko speechless with a perfect performance.

I'm going to put everything I've got into showing her how I feel.
