All right, that's it for today's practice. Nice work, everybody!

U-Ugh, I'm beat…

I think our practice schedule is a bit too much, Prez!

Weren't you the one who said you were inspired by us and wanted to practice even harder, Kasumi?

D-Did I say that?

It's because Rina, Setsuna, Little Baby, Kanata, and I have all already accomplished so much, right? You got anxious, didn't you?

I'm not anxious at all!

I think I did get a bit anxious. I felt like I also had to push myself harder.

What?! But you've been doing stuff like starting your own live stream, Emma! If anyone should be feeling anxious, it's me!

That's right. And Karin's going out there and doing all those auditions too.

I don't want to get left behind either!

Yeah! So bring on the hard practices!

*Giggle* It's nice to have people that make you aim higher, huh.

In that case, practice more with me. I'm still raring to go!

Hehehe. I guess I'll see how much more I can muster, then.

Yeah, but I am sooo hungry now…

Oh, I've got just the snack for you then!

Oooh! What is it today?

You've been making us treats almost every day lately, huh. That can't be easy.

*Laugh* It's no problem at all. I haven't been able to cool my baking jets since the contest. Today I brought oatmeal cookies!

Ooh, I won't feel too guilty eating those.

Right? Go on, eat up!

*Munch* Mmm, you're the best, Kana!

Glad to hear it!

My turn!

*Munch* *Munch* So much flavor. Rina-chan Board says, “Sinking in.”

Not bad.

Oh, Mia, you've got a crumb on your mouth there… There, got it.

Aww, my poor widdle baby is messy.

I'm not a baby! I am in my third year and I'd be a college student in the states!

Yeah, yeah. I gotcha.

Don't you treat me like a kid too, Shizuku!

Here's your tea, Mia-chi!

…Thanks.

That's the kind of thing that makes her so cute.

*Giggle* Indeed.

Oops, I need to get going soon.

Practice?

No, student council stuff actually. See you all tomorrow!

[Fade in/out.]

Sorry I'm late!

Oh, there you are! Glad you could make it!

Is the School Idol Club done already?

Yes. It's about time we started to work on the school guide pamphlet, don't you think? I have a rough draft almost ready. Would you take a look at it?

Sure!

[Fade in/out.]

I read it.

Ah, I see…

What do you think?

It is very much something you would do.

Indeed, this draft has you written all over it, President. It's full of enthusiasm, straightforward, and sincere!

However…

Hm? H-However? What's wrong?

I think it is a bit too formal…

F-Formal, you say…

Ugh, so in other words, it isn't very friendly. I guess I still have much to learn.

Please don't feel down! This draft still gets full points for conveying the charm of your sincerity!

Well, I do think this makes Nijigasaki look like a fun school. Here, take the activities of the School Idol Club, for instance.

Yes. With the School Idol Festival featuring school idols from across the country and the promo video made by the whole school, the school's name recognition is skyrocketing.

There should also be new students who are paying attention to such exciting activities. So why don't we try to make Nijigasaki more widely appealing?

Make Nijigasaki more appealing? How?

How about asking everyone in the School Idol Club?

Y-Yeah, Iet's try that!
