It kinda felt weird walking around trying to come up with places to recommend from your own school, huh.

Yeah. We're so used to seeing it every day, after all.

Mm-hm. It just became a regular part of our lives at some point. But I still remember how super nervous I was when I first got accepted here!

Hey, do you remember the entrance ceremony?

What about it?

[Fade in/out.]

G-Good morning.

Good morning, Ayumu. The school uniform looks so good on you! You're adorable!

R-Really? You don't think it looks weird? I hope it'll be okay.

*Laugh* Of course it will. It really does look super cute on you!

*Giggle* Thanks.

Hmm. But you do seem a bit different from your normal self, I think…

What?! How do you mean?!

Hmm… You seem more…

Seem more what? Tell me!

Oh, I know what it is! You seem more grown up! It's because you're in high school now!

Grrr! Stop saying stuff to get a rise out of me! I'm still the same old me!

[Fade in/out.]

Hey, Ayumu… Ayuuumuuu…

Ugh…

What's wrong?

I'm kinda feeling more nervous the closer we get to the school.

I mean we'll be riding the train to school from now on, right? I hope I can manage to get there on time every day. I'm worried I'll be late…

Relax, Ayumu. If you end up being late, I'll be late right there with you!

Huh?

I mean, we'll be riding the train to school together, right?

Together… Yeah.

So even if we mess up or make a mistake, we'll do it together. Don't you feel like we'll be okay as long as it's the two of us?

Y-Yeah! We'll be fine if we stick together!

I'm so happy I get to go to school with you for another three years.

Me too!

Doesn't it feel like we're closer to being adults now that just the two of us will be riding the train from now on?

Once we're able to use the train without making any mistakes, let's go off and see other places too. Just the two of us.

Yeah, let's do that!

[Fade in/out.]

Gosh…

So we'll be going here from now on, huh!

Yep! We might be in different courses, but let's give it our all!

Yeah, I will…

Ayumu, you look worried again! It'll be fine, look…

[Fade in/out.]

Is that how it went?

It sure is. And that's why you held my hand all the way to the auditorium where we had the entrance ceremony.

I think I remember that part. Our seats ended up being far apart because we were enrolled in different courses…

You looked pretty uneasy then.

What? I did?

Uh-huh. I remember it really well.

And, well, there was something I was thinking back then.

I thought I'd be able to make lots of lasting memories here together with you.

Well, you were definitely right about that.

Yep! By becoming a school idol, I'm able to create precious memories with you, the other club members, and everyone who supports us.

And that makes me extremely happy.

Me too. Let's do even more fun stuff together from here on!
