Ch. 33 Ep. 3: Inspirational Eli
The ÎĽ's girls busy themselves with the other emails as they continue to mull over the question of why they like school. They find one whose writer wants to know how she can be as cool and mature as Eli.
Nico
It kinda feels like you're part of our everyday life now.
Player
Ahaha. Really? I just hope I'm not too much of a bother.
Nozomi
Don't worry. You're not a bother at all.
Kotori
Here. These are all the replies we've written up until yesterday. I'll email them to you later, too.
Player
Whoa! You guys wrote so many!
Rin
Yeah! We wrote non-stop yesterday!
Hanayo
*Giggle* I had a lot of fun thinking of what to write.
Umi
Could you publish them in the next update?
Player
Sure. Thanks, guys!
Player
But don't push yourselves, okay? You still have the promo video to think about…
Nico
It's fine. Working with the fansite is also part of what we do as school idols.
Eli
Besides, the promo video is not something we should rush to decide on.
Nozomi
We're also trying to find bits of inspiration while replying to all the emails.
Maki
That's right. We want to make a promo video that will blow everyone's expectations out of the water.
Umi
Our classmates have also expressed much excitement for our promotional video.
Hanayo
Fans who I've met on the way to school have also mentioned it. Tons of people are keeping an eye on the School Idol Exhibition!
Rin
I'm super excited to see what promo videos the other school idols make too!
Player
Let me give you guys some help with the promo video as well. I want to repay you somehow for helping me with the fansite.
Eli
Oh, are you sure? If that's the case, then we can concentrate on answering the emails without too much worry.
Eli
Isn't that right, Honoka?
Honoka
Bwah?!
Honoka
S-Sorry! I completely missed all of that!
Kotori
Honoka's been like this for a while now…
Umi
She does tend to be airheaded, but this level is a cause for concern…
Honoka
It's just 'cause, like, I've been having to use my brain more than I usually do! Ahahaha.
Nico
You were the one who asked us to worry over the email with you! You should rely on us more!
Honoka
I am relying on you guys! I've asked you all sorts of stuff.
Honoka
I've just…got some stuff to work out myself… Agh…
Maki
I know how you feel. Don't worry, you'll get through it.
Honoka
Yeah. You're right! Though I don't expect any breakthroughs today…
Honoka
So I was thinking that maybe we could answer some different emails instead.
Honoka
Like this one that Eli got…
Honoka
“I want to be just as cool and mature as Eli. What should I do?”
Eli
Whaaat? I'm not cool or mature!
Kotori
When we met, my first impression of you was that you were cool and mature!
Nozomi
Well, that was just Eli-chi bluffing.
Eli
Nozomi! G-Geez!
Maki
You have no choice but to answer, Eli.
Eli
I-I know… But…
Nozomi
I have a great idea! We could do an in-depth day-in-the-life of Eli-chi!
Rin
That sounds like fun!
Eli
Is this some sort of game now?!
Nico
It's not. It's completely necessary. Just let us track your every move, Eli.
Eli
Geez… Fine. But for one day only. I don't think you'll find anything interesting, though.
[Fade in/out.]
Nozomi
Eli-chiii! Good morning!
Eli
Hello… Hold on, you're starting your reporting from this early in the morning?
Nico
Of course! Now just carry on with your life like normal. We'll just be here watching.
Eli
How can you expect me to act natural when you're watching me like that?!
[Fade in/out.]
Eli
All right. I think that's enough student council work. I should head to practice now.
Nozomi
Yeah.
Nico
This is so boooring!
Eli
Pardon?
Nico
What kind of up-close-and-personal coverage is this? I wanted to expose Eli's secrets!
Eli
I already told you, I'm not cool or mature. I don't have any secrets either.
Nico
No, you are cool and mature enough. I can tell that much by watching you work as the student council president.
Nozomi
Yep, that's right. She's our dependable president!
Nico
All the students and teachers put a lot of trust in you, and you always stay calm when there's a spot of trouble. You're practically perfect.
Eli
A student council president wouldn't be very dependable if they got upset whenever there was trouble, would they?
Eli
But let's see… If the writer actually does want to be more like me, then I guess having a strong sense of responsibility is most important.
Nozomi
That's it! Great answer, Eli-chi! But I think being cool and mature isn't all you've got going for you!
