(Everyone worked so hard for our sake, so why does it still feel off to me? Maybe I'm the weird one here…)

(What matters is the quality of the promo video. Everyone took part in this with everything they had. I should be astounded that they managed something so amazing…)

(This promo video was made by everyone, with everyone in it as a Nijigasaki representative.)

(I'm very happy with this concept since it fits our school perfectly too.)

(The more I think about it, the more I feel like there aren't any faults I can pick with it.)

Careful!

Huh? Shioriko?!

Don't yell at me like that. You would have missed that step if I hadn't called out to you.

Huh?Oh, yikes! Thanks for that!

Please be more careful. This is unlike you, though… You aren't typically one to be so absentminded. Is something worrying you?

Worrying… Oh, before what almost happened on the stairs. I was just getting my thoughts in order.

I see…

What were you doing here, anyway?

I'm in the middle of some student council work. I'm observing the clubs and the committee.

Though I suppose I'm actually more asking if anyone has any concerns rather than merely observing.

The student council does stuff like that too?!

Not particularly. I do this because I like to do it since I always want to help out wherever I can…

Oh, right… Hey, could I go around with you? I want to go thank everyone properly for the promo video.

All right. Let's get going then, shall we?

[Fade in/out.]

The track team practice is on another level! They go to such intense lengths…

Yes. It appears that they've updated their practice schedule recently.

The girls in the tennis club had such incredible focus as well.

Ever since I gave them the news of their victory at the ward preliminaries, they have become even more passionate at practice.

Wow. Could we maybe go cheer them on?

Shall we go take a look at the tournament schedule?

Yeah!

The Concert Band Club was so awesome!

They all look so dignified, standing at attention with their instruments!

*Chuckle* I agree.

They mentioned that their scheduled concert is coming up soon. We should invite everyone in the School Idol Club and go watch!

Yes, I think we should.

[Fade in/out.]

Shioriko… Thanks for letting me come with you.

Not at all. I was delighted to walk around with you.

I was thinking… There was a lot that I didn't know about for all the other clubs and the committee in Nijigasaki.

They were all so cool, throwing themselves earnestly into the stuff they each love.

I went to thank them for their work, but actually I ended up feeling like they gave me energy.

*Chuckle* That's wonderful. Well, it's time that I returned to the student council. I'll see you later at the clubroom.

Definitely. Good luck with your student council work!

Everyone at Nijigasaki is as dazzling as I expected. They're all buzzing with enthusiasm.

But I can't sense that as well when I watch the video…

I can't deal with that! I want to show off everyone's real brilliance in the promo video! I want to show the real Nijigasaki to all of Japan!

But how should I do it?

Should I have them do more dance practice?

No, I can't demand even more from them. And besides, I don't think that's the issue…

Huh? What are you doing here?

Ayumu!

I went with Shioriko to go thank all the clubs who helped out with the video. Why are you here?

I'm on my way back from the library. You're heading to the clubroom now, aren't you? We should walk together.

Okay!

[Fade in/out.]

How did it go when you thanked all the clubs? Are they excited about the video?

Of course! They all said they're desperate to see it.

When I went to go check in on all those clubs and the committee, I realized just how radiant everyone in Nijigasaki is.

So I want to show that in our video. I want to show off those radiant girls who represent Nijigasaki!

[Fade in/out.]

I knew it. I knew there was something about the video that was bothering her.

She's been acting a little strange ever since we watched the new dance footage that the captain of the Basketball Club gave us.

But today, she had a look on her face like she'd thought of an answer…

I know her. I'm sure she'll have thought of something.

I should send her a message… Maybe she's still awake. “Can you come outside?”
