Ch. 8 Ep. 8: Morning Resolution

The group in Odaiba goes shopping, bowling, and to the hot springs. Everyone thoroughly enjoys their Saturday. The following morning, you happen to wake up early. You go out onto your balcony only to find Ayumu on her's next door.

Player

Wow. The sun's already up.

Ayumu

Good morning. You're up pretty early today.

Player

Morning! And I could say the same of you.

Ayumu

How about Honoka and Chika?

Player

Those two are still asleep. We were talking until really late last night.

Ayumu

*Giggle* We've got to let them rest, then.

Player

Yeah! And it sure feels nice to wake up early. The morning sun's really beautiful, and the air's so clear!

Ayumu

You look like you're in a good mood.

Player

You're sharp, Ayumu! So I was just checking my messages, right? And I got a response from Kaoruko!

Ayumu

W-Wait, from Kaoruko?! How'd you send her a message? I thought we couldn't find her contact info?

Player

Well, about that…

[Fade in/out.]

Player

All right, let's just start out by getting into contact with Kaoruko!

Honoka

But didn't the committee member we contacted earlier say it's impossible since her contact info isn't current?

Chika

Hm, I wonder if someone else knows her contact info.

Player

Then let's split up and search online as much as we can! I'm sure it's got to be left somewhere out there!

Honoka

You're right! She's got to have left traces somewhere!

Chika

All right, time to think up a term to search with first!

[Fade in/out.]

Chika

Urgh. I'm not getting anything!

Honoka

Don't give up, Chika! Here, have some snacks to get your power back!

Player

A-Ah! Guys, look at this!

Chika

Wh-What, did you find something?!

Honoka

A blog?

Player

Reading through the articles it looks like it's a log of Kaoruko's activities, but the updates have stopped. Still, there's a contact form here.

Chika

Oh! So we can send a message through that and probably get a response back!

Player

Yeah. Well, if the form still connects somewhere, anyway.

Honoka

Let's give it a try! We won't know until we do!

Chika

You're right, let's send it in!

Honoka

If it doesn't work, we can think of something new tomorrow. With all of us.

Player

Yeah!

[Fade in/out.]

Ayumu

So her reply came in this morning, huh? Congratulations, that's great news!

Player

Yeah! I'm so happy, it's like our hearts got through to her!

Ayumu

I'm curious about the response, but could you tell me what kind of email you sent to her?

Player

I just wrote our feelings down in the message.

Ayumu

Feelings?

Player

About how we love school idols, about how I wanted to cheer on school idols just like she does, how I want to support them.

Player

And how I didn't want to let the School Idol Festival end, so I wanted to see if she could help.

Ayumu

So, what was her response?

Player

Mm, about that. She can't help us. She said she did what she had to, and that she's working towards something else now.

Ayumu

Oh, no.

Player

But she also said that my email made her really see that what she'd done wasn't wrong, that her efforts have started to bud.

Player

So even though she can't help us, she'll be cheering us on from afar.

Player

She said that when it comes to things you want to do, it's best to give them a try, and that she's always been like that.

Ayumu

Sounds like she's really cheering us on, then. Like she's saying, “Keep going! Don't give up!”

Player

Yeah! And hey, Ayumu, I've made up my mind! I'm not giving up on this!

Ayumu

Can we really revive the School Idol Festival?

Player

Yeah! Like, we've got friends and the committee before us cheering us on! We can't give up!

Ayumu

You know, you're right! There's no reason to give up!

Player

And we're going to need everyone's help. Ayumu, will you help me?

Ayumu

Of course I will! No matter what, I'll always be there for you.

Player

Thanks, Ayumu! And I'm going to tell everyone about this when they wake up.

Player

Tell them that we're going to be the next School Idol Festival Planning Committee!

Ayumu

Yeah, Honoka and Chika will definitely get behind that plan!

Player

We're not giving up on the School Idol Festival! Never, ever!
