*Yawn*

(I think I've been a bit too busy lately. I get sleepy in the morning and it puts me in a bad mood.)

…–rin, Karin! You're being called on.

Huh? Oh, yes!

What are the reasons behind the principle of municipal bond market digestion?

Umm…

I think… Yes, it's, um…balance?

It's to maintain a balance in the amount of currency in the market.

To maintain a balance in the amount currency in the market!

Thanks, you really did me a solid there.

[Fade in/out.]

*Sigh*

I'm not used to seeing you sigh like that, Karin.

Oh no, did you catch that?

I can't help but sigh. I've been getting called on constantly since this morning.

I'm already so sleepy in the morning… I can't concentrate at all with the teacher calling on me on top of that.

You can only say that if you were actually trying to concentrate to begin with, Karin.

Hehe. You saw right through me.

Ugh, why can't every subject be an elective?

Even I wouldn't get sleepy if I was in a design history or hands-on training class in the morning.

Yeah. I also wish all of my classes were about school idol history.

Ahaha. I'd love to take a class like that if it existed. I wish it did.

I know, right?!

I wanna take that class too! School idol history, huh… I wonder if we could make it happen.

We need to get everyone even more excited about school idols so that they will turn it into a class for us!

I also wanna do that!

Me too!

If you need any help, leave it to me!

Alrighty, we need to think up a strategy, then!

Hehe. You guys are so full of energy.

I think you've been way too busy lately, Karin.

I mean, you've been doing a bunch of auditions on top of your normal modeling job, right?

I saw your feature in a web article yesterday as well. And that previous magazine shoot story is still a work in progress, isn't it?

Aw, thank you for checking that stuff. It makes me happy.

I do all that stuff because I want to, so it's not like it's going to tire me out. I'm also taking good careful of myself, so everything's fine.

Oops, I almost forgot. I've got something I need to take care.

Huh, what is it?

I need to have a pattern paper ready before afternoon classes start for a costume that I'm making in my design class.

It's looking like it'll need a lot of pattern papers, so I was hoping to at least get the lines down ahead of time.

Oh, that! Your design was shown off in our class, Karin! The dress, right?

Yes, but… What do you mean it was shown off?

It's because your design was so wonderful! The teacher was praising it.

Wow, that's amazing, Karin!

It really is amazing! It's a perfect blend of fundamentals and new trends, and it really feels like something Karin would make!

I couldn't help but feel inspired when I saw it! Please show it to us when it's finished!

You'll make me blush, complimenting me that much.

But, thank you. That makes me very happy. I put a lot of energy into making it.

Let me know if there's anything I can help out with.

Yeah, I will. Thanks. Alright, see you guys after classes.

Karin's really amazing, isn't she? The power she has to do the stuff that she loves is on a different level.

Her eyes were sparkling, weren't they?! Totally different than the way she was a minute ago. Karin really is wonderful!

Yep, I hope we can all support her together!
