Ch. 33 Ep. 2: What's Fun about School?
You visit the your club for the first time in a while. All the members have been doing their own practice in your absence. On a whim, you ask each of them why they like school.
Player
Morning, guys!
Kasumi
Preeez! Are you all done with helping out the fansite?
Player
Not yet. I've still got a bit left to do.
Kasumi
Awww, really? I was so excited to have you all to myself again!
Ayumu
She's doing her best to contribute to the school idol scene right now. Let's give her our full support, Kasumi.
Player
Ahaha. Yep. What I'm doing now is my way of contributing. Thanks for cheering me on, Ayumu.
Ayumu
*Giggle* Good luck!
Kasumi
I-If that's the case, then I can cheer you on too! Go get 'em, Prez!
Player
I will. Thanks, Kasumi.
Karin
But I do feel a little bad for leaving this all to you. After all, the entire reason why you volunteered for the fansite was to help us find inspiration for our promo video.
Emma
You must be really busy. You're not too worn out, are you?
Kanata
If you're feeling tired, you should go and have a rest in Emma's lap!
Kanata
I'll keep it warm for when you want to relax… Zzz…
Shizuku
Kanata! It's time for your run! Wake up, please!
Kanata
Ah! You're right…
Player
How's everyone been doing these days? Any troubles?
Setsuna
We've all been trying to improve on our individual weaknesses. There hasn't been any particular trouble, I feel.
Ai
No, hang on. There is one thing.
Player
What?! What is it?
Ai
Ayumu's just been feeling a liiittle blue. I think she's suffering from you-withdrawal!
Ayumu
Whaaat? No, I'm not!
Mia
Ayumu does have a different mood depending on whether you're around or not. I haven't known her for long and even I can tell that much.
Ayumu
Mia! Not you too!
Lanzhu
Ayumu! I'm here for you!
Ayumu
Whoa!
Ayumu
Ngh… Lanzhu, I can't breathe…
Lanzhu
I'll help cheer you up! All you need is to get some meat in your belly! So let's go eat some meat together! C'mon, everyone else should come too!
Kasumi
We can't now, Lanzhu! Prez made time to see us so we should spend it together!
[Fade in/out.]
Shioriko
I found the school idol fansite's article to be a fantastic read. Every single response in “Ask μ's” struck an emotional chord with me.
Rina
The email from the girl who had to transfer schools made me really sad, but Rin's reply made my heart feel all warm and fuzzy.
Setsuna
I could also feel Maki's sincere wishes from her reply.
Ai
The girl who wrote the email must be really happy to receive such an earnest reply.
Karin
Yeah. I'm very excited to read the next article.
Player
That reminds me. I have something I want to ask all of you.
Kasumi
What is it?
Player
Do you guys think school is fun? If you do, what is it about school that you find fun?
Kanata
Sounds like there could be a lot of ways to answer that question.
Player
Someone wrote in saying that they think school is boring. They want to know what people, who think school is fun, like about it.
Player
Everyone in ÎĽ's is trying to find an answer for the writer, but they've been struggling to write a reply that they're happy with.
Player
That's why I wanted to ask you guys for your thoughts too.
Lanzhu
Well isn't it obvious? It's fun because of yours truly!
Mia
I don't think it would make a difference whether you were here or not. It's fun for me because Nijigasaki gives me the freedom to do whatever I want.
Ai
I like it because all my friends make it fun! I just wish that our breaks were longer so I could talk to everyone more!
Shizuku
I think for me it's because it provides an environment where I can immerse myself in theater.
Kanata
Mine is because there are a lot of spots to nap in, I thiiink.
Kanata
And because we have all sorts of different cookware here! I have a lot of fun making dishes that I can't at home.
Rina
I like it because I can make friends here.
Emma
The best part about school is that we can be school idols! Doesn't anyone else think so?!
Kasumi
But of course! Being able to perform as a school idol is the most important thing for someone as cute as me!
Karin
The only way things could get better is if there were no tests.
Ai
Really? I actually like tests a lot.
Kasumi
You honor students just don't get it! How is a piece of paper meant to understand how much I'm worth?! Right, Karin?
Karin
You're exactly right.
Mia
So you guys suck at tests?
Karin
You sure are blunt.
Kasumi
A bit TOO blunt! It's a little scary. Anyway, I just don't really get along with textbooks. That's all!
Ayumu
N-Now, Kasumi, calm down.
Kasumi
Waaah! Ayumu, I need a hug!
Ayumu
*Giggle* There, there.
Player
Hmm… Everyone's got something different about school that they like.
Ayumu
Just like how our club works! Even if what we want to do and what we find fun is different, it all makes us feel happy.
Player
That's true. Thanks, guys! That was very helpful.
