I always ask for your help, but you know, there's no need to accompany me on the inspection.

This is just something that I like to do.

I'm going with you because it's also something that I like. If it's no trouble, could I come with you?

I like seeing everyone at Nijigasaki throwing themselves into what they love.

*Giggle* Me too. All right, shall we?

Your feet aren't moving. Lower your hips more and keep your eyes on your opponent!

And you could've followed that one up with better court-wide awareness!

Okay!

[Fade in/out.]

Stop. You're now just reading the words written in the script.

You have to think about what the characters are thinking and feeling as they say these lines and work them into the play.

Also your voice needs to come from your stomach and you need to pace yourself, yeah?

Okay!

Now then, once more from the top!

Somehow the atmosphere of the school seems to have become even brighter.

It's like it's been wrapped in a sense of liveliness or energy.

Yes, I've noticed too. We have new activity plans from the committees, and we've received many inquiries from the student council as well.

There has also been a change in the feeling among students who are not involved in club activities or committees.

It's like the whole of Nijigasaki has been charged up.

It's a nice feeling, isn't it?

It's giving us more strength too. I must practice even harder! Let's hurry to the clubroom!

[Fade in/out.]

Oh, Prez and Shioko! You finally came. What took you so long? Don't tell me you were on an after-school date?

After-school date?!

Ahaha, it's nothing like that. I just went along for Shioriko's inspection.

Oh, well that's good… Sorry for shouting.

Well, there was no way it could've been a date anyway! I wouldn't let you do that without me there!

But anyway, Prez, listen to this. We've got an astonishing number of comments from people who watched the School Idol Exhibition promo video!

I've been getting a ton of emails from people who saw our campaign on the school idol fansite too!

“I learned about Nijigasaki on the School Idol Exhibition website. It must be so much fun for all the students to be school idols!”

“I'm obsessed with Nijigasaki, and all the members look like they're having fun! I want to try camping with my friends too!”

“After watching the promo video, I want to try becoming a school idol too. Now I'm asking my friends to join me!”

And “Next time there's a campaign like this, we want to be a part of it!”

Those are some great comments.

I'm so happy to have so many people sending us these words of encouragement!

It's because everyone's feelings were conveyed directly to them. It's truly wonderful!

I can't handle it anymore! I want to do a live show!

Me too! I want to hang out with our fans even more!

I want to do a live show too. But…

…if we're going to do a show, I want to be a better version of who I was in the promo video. So first, I want to practice as much as I can.

I feel the same way! I want to convey my feelings even more through our songs!

And I want to become even mooore adorable! No, I WILL!

I also want to connect even more deeply with the new people we've connected with. Rina-chan Board says, “Serious!”

There's nothing to it but to power ourselves up.

I want to do a live show too, but like Shioriko says, we need to be better versions of ourselves from the promo video.

We need a new practice schedule. One that will let us power up big time!

*Giggle* You're up.

Huh?

Prez, can you think of a new practice schedule for us?

That's a good idea. You know us really well, so if we leave it to you, there won't be any problems!

You'll do it, won't you? You'll make us a new practice schedule?

We'll go along with whatever you decide, no matter how tough it is!

I'm all for a challenging regimen!

O-Okay! Leave it to me!

*Giggle* We're counting on you!

(The whole school is a powerhouse now thanks to the School Idol Exhibition.)

(I have to try my absolute hardest for everyone's sake!)
