Ch. 48 Ep. 3: What Lights Up Her Eyes
On your way to the clubroom, you happened to notice Shizuku deep in conversation with a classmate.
Player
Now, time for club activities… Huh?
Student A
—is what I thought. So I'm sure the festival they told us about in class will be even more exciting than New Year's. Do you understand now?
Shizuku
Thanks! I finally get it!
Shizuku
Ah, but isn't Christmas a big party over there too? How is it compared to Christmas?
Student A
Well, I'm sure Christmas is a bigger deal, but I think there's some people who see it as more important than Christmas too.
Shizuku
I see…
Student A
Hey, can I ask you something? It's about this Japanese translation…
Shizuku
Sure.
[Fade in/out.]
Player
Shizuku!
Shizuku
Ah, Prez! Are you heading to the clubroom too?
Player
Yeah. Is that girl from your class?
Shizuku
You saw her?
Shizuku
Yes, she's from my class.
Player
The International Exchange course seems nice.
Shizuku
Huh?
Player
The way you were teaching each other about your specialisms.
Shizuku
Ahaha, I think she was the one doing all the teaching.
Shizuku
There's so much I don't know about languages and culture.
Shizuku
Sometimes I get depressed feeling like I don't know anything.
Player
Really? Your eyes lit up when that girl was teaching you things back there, Shizuku.
Shizuku
Wh-Where were you hiding?!
Shizuku
Um… But while it's depressing to feel like I don't know anything, I just can't help but have fun when I'm learning something new.
Shizuku
Because I know it's knowledge that will come in useful for theater or being a school idol!
Shizuku
A-Anyway, let's get to the clubroom and our school idol duties!
[Fade in/out.]
Player
Hello!
Shizuku
Hello!
Setsuna
Ah, listen to this, both of you! It seems Shioriko already got approval!
Player
Huh?! Really?!
Shioriko
That's right. It was approved.
Kanata
You did it, Shioriko! I can't wait!
Shioriko
I think it will be formally announced tomorrow. Please take part, all of you.
Player
Congratulations, Shioriko!
Shioriko
It's all thanks to all of you!
Setsuna
Oh boy! My robot-controlling dream is about to come true!
Kanata
…Robot-controlling?
Setsuna
Ah, no, it's nothing… Heh heh…
[Fade in/out.]
Kasumi
Huh? Where'd Shioko go?
Rina
Making preparations for the Other Subject Experience Program, I think.
Shizuku
Looks like she's gotten even more busy.
Kasumi
Hmm… If it comes to it, we'll all have to help her out!
Rina
Yeah.
Shizuku
Right.
Kasumi
Now, what are we doing for lunch today?
Rina
I have a set of club sandwiches.
Shizuku
I have a boxed lunch.
Kasumi
I think I might get the fried chicken meal. I'll share it with all of you!
Rina
I'll trade you for my fries!
Shizuku
I'll trade you for a meatball!
Kasumi
Yay!
Kasumi
Oh, that reminds me, I forgot something! Rinako and I will be taking our Other Course Experience with you, Shizuko!
Shizuku
Huh?!
Rina
We applied.
Shizuku
Really? That's great!
Shizuku
But what happened to doing music, Kasumi?
Kasumi
They said I could only go to a class from the same school year as me…
Shizuku
I see…
Shizuku
Cheer up! Let's become English masters!
Kasumi
Ugh! You've been saying that for ages! I'm gonna shock you with how good I already am!
Rina
Kasumi, the point of the Experience Program is to…ahem.
