What a gorgeous starry sky! It looked incredible on the deserted island too, but this place can hold its own!

Mm! It feels great!

I've gotta get to sleep so I can enjoy tomorrow too, but I can't see it happening…

Lanzhu and Setsu's performance really rocked. I've still got the shivers from it.

I'm gonna be wide awake as long as I'm feeling like this.

[Fade in/out.]

Oh, it's Ai. Heeey! Ai!

Hmm? What're you doing up so late?

I woke up for some reason. There were gorgeous stars in the sky when I peeked outside, so I came to stargaze.

I've never seen such a gorgeous night sky in Tokyo.

Me neither. Hey, Ai?

Hm?

You were dancing just now, weren't you? You looked so pretty underneath the starlight.

Huh?! No way, that wasn't dancing, it was just—you know, sometimes I just end up doing that kind of thing? I guess?

Really?

Ahaha… Sorry, you got it in one. I was thinking back to that performance Lanzhu and Setsu did and my feet just started moving.

When you see something that blows your mind, don't you get the urge to get up and move?

Definitely, yeah. I couldn't sleep at all after remembering everyone singing songs by the light of the campfire.

That was so fun! I wish Ayumu could've sung too.

She's still really shy about stuff like that.

I wanted to see her strut her stuff too! Though I guess it would've been even harder to sleep after that.

Ayumu's come so far so fast that it's almost scary. She gets more brilliant every time I look at her!

She does. But the same goes for you, Ai. You seem different each time I glance your way. You seem to have so much fun that it energizes me.

Do you mean it? It makes me sooo happy to hear that from you!

*Giggle* 'Cause y'know, school idols are really, really precious to me now.

I've never been super dedicated to a single thing before, you know. Not since ages and ages ago.

I was like… You know that old saying? Jack of all trades but master of none? Yep, that was me.

I could do pretty much anything I tried my hand at decently well, but then I'd give up before I took it any further.

I figured I'd be fine just having fun with everyone.

Yeah. I remember when I asked you to be a school idol you said you wanted to experience a lot of stuff and have a lot of fun.

I did, didn't I! You remember that?

Of course I remember! You made a big impact on me!

But everything got so different after you invited me to be a school idol. It was like nothing I'd done before.

I never had that moment where I felt like giving up.

Fun is my top priority. But now tough and stressful things can become fun in their own way, and when I do a live show that fun multiplies by tons!

I get to have fun, and so does everyone else! Isn't it awesome how it matches up 100% like that?

School idols really are incredible! I want to keep having more and more fun with you guys from now on!

Oh! D'you think that's what my root is? Basically just wanting to have fun?

I've been saying that the whole time, though…

That's why it's the source of your power!

*Laugh* Good point! That just means I never waver about it!

Okay! I'm gonna dance for a bit. Keep your eyes on me!

Of course!

[Fade in/out.]

All right, now we need to pack up the tent and get ready to go home.

*Sigh* It's already over.

Yes. It went by in a flash.

It was so fun that I could easily have stayed out here another week!

*Laugh* Now that WOULD be nice. Let's do this again!

That reminds me, did you take lots of video footage?

Yep, for sure!

There are lots of girls excited about the school idol fansite campaign in my club as well.

And of course we're looking forward to the article on Nijigasaki.

Just leave it to us!
