I'm so glad I was able to write a good reply to that email. It was on my mind for so long.

Don't forget that I helped you get there with my wise words.

Yeah. Thank you, Nico.

It's all thanks to Kayo-chin, not you, Nico.

Hey! I was the one who started it!

You actually say some pretty insightful things sometimes, Nico.

She could really work on reading the room, though.

Where would our Nico-chi be without those qualities?

Could you guys lay off the backhanded compliments?!

I see everyone's getting closer to successfully replying to all those tricky emails.

Wait! I'm not done yet!

I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I haven't had my light-bulb moment yet…

Are you talking about the girl who doesn't find school fun?

Should we let someone else answer it, then?

No, it's okay. I want to be the one to reply.

But you haven't been able to settle on a response at all, have you?

I know you've been worrying about this email ever since you received it.

Y-You could tell?

Of course we could. You are like an open book.

Ahaha…

Oh, right. I don't have to come up with the answer entirely by myself.

I can ask everyone here for help too!

Hey, there's no rule saying that only one person can reply to an email, right? Can all of μ's answer?

It didn't ask for any particular person to reply so yeah, of course.

All right! I think I've got this now!

Even if I can't do it by myself, I can still succeed with the help of everyone here with me.

So guys! Please worry over this email with me!

You finally asked.

Geez, that took you long enough.

We've all been waiting for you to come to us for help.

What? Really?!

All right. Let's go over the email again.

“Going to school is agonizing. There's nothing fun about it. School is so boring, and I don't like it.”

“I want to ask if everyone in μ's likes going to school. If you do, why do you like it?”

I can't imagine how hard it must be to have to go somewhere you find boring every day.

Maybe if we all write down what we like about school itself, we'll find some hints.

I think it would be great if our answers could kick-start something for her.

But we have to be careful not to be too pushy.

That's right. Everyone reacts to things in their own way.

Even our tastes for what's fun and what's not can vary within this group.

I guess I'd say I'm not a fan of Eli and Umi's training…

And I love it!

We've got the two ends of the scale right here…

So what is it about school that you guys like?

That's a little difficult to answer upon reconsideration. I must concur with Honoka's previous remark—I've never given this question much thought either.

I have! A lot! First, it's because I can be a school idol. And all of you guys are here with me.

Other than that, it's fun being in the same class as Honoka and Umi, and I love chatting together during our breaks.

I like taking detours together after school too.

I also like being in the same class as Kayo-chin and Maki! I always look forward to having lunch together!

Hmm… I think we need to simplify our way of thinking.

How about we focus on what it is about our school itself that we really like, as Honoka said?

For me, I was happy to have access to a piano.

I liked having a place where I could play the piano any way I wanted without having to think about my family.

Personally… I suppose my equivalent would be the archery dojo. It's a place that allows me to invigorate and sharpen my mind.

What's good about school, huh… Pointing out the great things school itself has to offer is important too. We should think about why we're able to smile every day as well.

That's what I want to focus on!
