All right, I think we've gathered up quite a few Nijigasaki recommendations now.

Yeah. I had tons of fun seeing all the special classrooms! I was surprised by how specialized they actually are.

I really enjoyed the tour of the courtyard and field. I even found a new potential napping spot!

I wanna do a live show on the roof!

I've already finished compiling what we've investigated so far. Let's bring it to Shioriko after club activities are over.

Oh, would you mind waiting just a bit longer? I think there are still some other places that perfectly represent Nijigasaki.

Hmm. Yeah, I do think there are places we haven't covered yet.

We may not have noticed because we're so used to the school now.

The two with the freshest perspectives here would be Mia and Lanzhu. Do you think there is anything else that makes Nijigasaki special?

The School Idol Club!

They have school idols at other high schools too, though.

I bet no other school has a Nagashi Somen Club, though.

Hey, you might be right!

Y'know, I've been wondering about that for a while. What IS the Nagashi Somen Club? What are they doing on the other side of that plate?

What do you mean? They're doing nagashi somen…

What IS nagashi somen?!

You pour white, thin noodles into a bamboo slide with water running down it.

I don't get it.

I don't either. What does it all mean? Is it for some kind of ceremony? I wanna try it!

I think we've just seen something very unique to Nijigasaki…

I think you might just be right.

Besides the Nagashi Somen Club, Nijigasaki has a bunch of other clubs and associations with unique activities!

I wonder how many clubs there are in total.

How about we go to the clubroom building and figure it out?

Yeah! We can try interviewing people in some of the ones that sound interesting!

[Fade in/out.]

The Local Studies Club sounded really neat.

They've all read up on Edo period books and old maps.

They said they were going to the national library, right? I didn't even know such a place existed.

Same here. It's so great to be able to explore stuff you're interested in, no matter what it may be.

I'd love to go see the Handbell Club's next performance.

Those bells sound amazing, don't they? I wonder if they could do something with the Theater Club…

And the Incense Club was amazing too. There's a lot more to incense than I ever imagined.

They even have incense that smells like tea. That surprised me.

It was so soothing!

The Capoeira Club is so cool!

Uh-huh. I wanna try that too!

What club do you think you'd all be in if you weren't in the School Idol Club?

I'd be in the Computer Club, I think.

Hmm… The Crafts Club, maybe?

If I wasn't a school idol and didn't do modeling for magazines…I'd probably be in the Dance Club.

I would be in the Anime Club…

Actually, no. I can't even imagine being a high schooler and not also being a school idol!

*Laugh* That sounds more like you, Setsu!

I know I've said this before, but it's amazing how many activities we're allowed to do here.

Everyone is well equipped and I really feel like we get proper support from the school. That's another great thing about Nijigasaki.

Hey, why don't we delve a little deeper into the equipment aspect?

You know, like how the special classrooms have technical equipment that's hard to explain?

That's right. There's still an oven from waaay back when in the kitchen's storage room, you know.

And it still gets regular maintenance so that it can be used today, right?

In that case, let's take another trip to the auditorium as well.

We have hoisting equipment and other gear that a professional theater company would use.

The deeper we dive, the more there is to learn.

And… The same can be said for school idols!

Huh?

The more I watch them, the more I come to like them! The more I like them, the more I can't help but love them! So it's the same, isn't it?

*Giggle* You always bring everything back around to school idols, no matter what the topic is.
