Ch. 47 Ep. 8: One Step at a Time
You and Setsuna go to the student council room to help out with student council business, only to find that no one is there.
Setsuna
Coming in.
Player
We brought our summary of Nijigasaki recommendations, Shioriko… Huh?
Setsuna
No one's here?
Player
Looks that way.
Setsuna
Shall we come back later?
Player
Hmm… We made an appointment, so she should be back soon. How about we just wait here for a while?
Setsuna
Good idea.
Setsuna
Oh, then how about we do a final review of the materials we brought with us?
Player
Yes, let's. We tried to put everything together and make it as easy to understand as possible, but there sure is a lot of stuff in here now…
Setsuna
Hehe. That just goes to show you how much charm this school is brimming with!
Setsuna
…Yeah, this is good. I think it's a good idea to have lots of photographs on the cafeteria page.
Setsuna
Hmm… But perhaps the equipment descriptions could be laid out so that they are a bit easier to read.
Player
Seeing you looking at the documents kinda reminds me of the time you were the student council president.
Player
You had a pretty stern look on your face the first time we met, didn't you?
Setsuna
Oh, that… I was still so inexperienced back then.
Setsuna
I wasn't able to handle life as Nana Nakagawa, the burden of my position as student council president, and my feelings for the School Idol Club, yet…
[Fade in/out.]
Nana
This is the view from the student council president's chair… With all of the student council members looking at me…
Nana
Starting today, I am the student council president…
Nana
Since I have been chosen for this position, I must dedicate myself wholeheartedly to every student!
Nana
First, I need to check the handover documents.
Nana
…It's so thick. So this is all the responsibility of the student council president, huh.
Nana
No, I cannot be discouraged now! I need to give this my all!
[Fade in/out.]
Player
Huh?! It took you THAT long to read all of those handover documents?!
Setsuna
Yes. Nijigasaki is a school that leaves the students to exercise their own initiative, so there is a huge amount of handover material to cover.
Setsuna
It made me come to a realization. I served as student council president in middle school, but I knew that my duties here would go far beyond that.
Setsuna
That being said, it was all necessary for me to be able to do what I wanted… To be the best school idol I can be.
Setsuna
Besides, it's very fulfilling to work for the student council. It's not as if I dislike it, after all.
Player
I realized something after looking into all this stuff at the school. We have so many clubs and it must take a great deal of work to allocate funds for all of them.
Player
Shioriko let me help her out a little a while back, and that really made me realize just how much hard work she was doing behind the scenes.
Setsuna
Yes. Keeping track of the activities and achievements of all of those clubs and the balance between them all…
[Fade in/out.]
Nana
As for the Nagashi Somen Club… What kind of achievements would they have? Are there national tournaments? No, I guess you don't need tournaments if you have enthusiasm…
Nana
And there's an Ocean Fishing Club, a River Fishing Club, a Bass Fishing Club, and a Fly Fishing Club too… I'm sure there is some reason they're all separate…
Nana
Then there's Volleyball Club, Softball Club, Basketball Club, Theater Club, the Concert Band, Anime Club, School Idol Club…
Nana
And we may have just started, but when people think of school idols, we want them to think of Nijigasaki. That's why we must do our best!
[Fade in/out.]
Player
Setsuna? Heeey, Setsunaaa?
Setsuna
I-I'm sorry! I just started thinking about how things were back then…
Setsuna
…I am very grateful for the way things are now.
Setsuna
A lot has happened, but I've had my parents' approval too.
Setsuna
I've been able to devote myself fully to my school idol activities and pour all of my love into them, and now my world has expanded!
Setsuna
And even now, I get to help support the love of everyone in the student council.
Setsuna
And that's why I want to work even harder than ever!
Player
Setsuna…
Setsuna
This means I've taken one step further into adulthood, doesn't it? *Giggle*
Shioriko
Hm? What are you two doing here?
Setsuna
We came to help you!
Shioriko
…Oh! Th-That's right, I asked you for help, didn't I? I'm so sorry I forgot!
Player
It's no problem at all! You seem so busy right now. These things happen. Is there anything we can do to lighten the load?
Shioriko
No, you are already doing enough as it is!
Setsuna
No, we want to help. Please, ask us for anything!
Shioriko
Thank you very much. You two are such reliable friends.
