Teach you English?

Yeah.

I wanna get fluent in English before I join the International Exchange Experience Program!

Go ask someone else.

Miakoooooo!

You can't learn to speak a language in a few days! That takes magic!

Oh, don't be like that! You're my only hope, Miako!

I don't wanna look uncool in front of Shizuko! I already told her I'm secretly really good!

Why are you saying stuff like that again?

That's just how she is.

That's true. That's just Kasumi.

Hey! Don't just agree on stuff like that!

*Sigh* Why did you even want to take the International Exchange course to begin with? I thought you were taking music?

I don't wanna talk about that anymore.

They said she couldn't take a second year class.

Don't tell her!

Good grief… You really are such a helpless Little Puppy.

Ugh… I'll even let you call me that right now. Please teach me, Miss Miako!

I'm asking too, Mia.

I'm excited for the International Exchange Experience Program, so I want to study well for it.

You too, Rina?

Yeah. I figured it would be nice to get better at English.

Why's that?

I need it for online games. I get matched up with people from overseas sometimes, and if we can understand each other I'll increase my win rate.

I'm sure that's true… It must be important.

And I want to speak English with you, Mia.

From time to time I wonder what it would be like if we could talk in English.

Rina…!

Alright! Leave it to me!

Don't forget about me!

I know, I know. There's no way you can become fluent, but do have an idea that might work in this case.

Really?! Tell me your secrets!

Well, think about the goal of the program.

The goal?

To allow people to experience classes in the different departments of Nijigasaki, for the school pamphlet.

To have fun experiencing lots of different things!

You're both right. The goal is to make Nijigasaki even better by deepening your understanding through having fun.

That means that the classes ought to be enjoyable no matter the capabilities of the students that come to them.

To put it simply, even people who only know a few English words should be able to get by.

I'm starting to feel good about this!

I imagine you'll only be having casual conversations.

Casual conversation…

Like “Good morning!”

Even I can understand that!

Yeah, I think that's as far as it'll go.

Well, should we try practicing a few different situations? Things that should come in useful on an overseas trip.

Huh? You mean I have to speak after all?

That's why they call it conversation. But there's a trick to this too.

Huh?! What is it?!

Body language.

Body language?

That's right. For example, pointing at things when you're buying something. If the other person understands you, that's conversation!

Can I use the Rina-chan Board too?

Sure you can! That's probably even easier to understand.

Body language… I'll give it a shot! Rina-chan Board says, “Serious!”

*Exhale* This really makes me feel better! Thank you, Miako! As thanks, I'll teach you a cute pose!

No thanks.

Why not?!
