There. Done.

You're done?! You've already finished off the questions covered in the test?! Were you on fast forward or something?!

That wasn't fast at all. If anything, I spent a little more time than usual. But now I'm worried, so I'll double-check them all just in case.

What? You're checking it through now that you're done? Wh-Whoa. Your level of effort is way different from mine!

There's nothing to be so surprised about. How are you doing, Chika? Are you almost done?

J-Just a little bit more…

If there are any parts you're not sure of—What's all this?! Were you doodling on your paper?

J-Just a little! I was only playing around with my pen a bit to have a breather.

It looks like you haven't made any progress on your workbook pages, though. Wait…huh?

Hey, are these drawings for stage costumes? And this scribble over here, it looks like lyrics to me.

…Yeah. For our next live show. Though, we've got tests on right now, so I don't know when and where our next live show will be.

I was thinking about wanting to incorporate this phrase into the lyrics for our next song, and wearing these kinds of costumes when our next live show has been decided.

Goodness me. What ever will we do with this leader of ours? You've always got Aqours on your mind, no matter what the situation.

Of course I do. I love Aqours. Aren't you the same, Riko?

Yeah, I'm always thinking about Aqours as well. I think about how far we could all go and about wanting to reach every height together.

*Giggle* I can't wait to see just how far we can go.

Yup. Which is exactly why we need to do this!

Huh?

Let's study hard so we don't get failing grades. We won't be able to practice singing or dancing if we have to take extra tests. We couldn't schedule live shows then, either.

And then Dia might even start holding study sessions to make sure we never panic and fail a test again. I'm sure she'll be strict and make everyone study super hard.

NOOOOOOO! That's the last thing I want to do!

Then back to studying you go! Oh, I know! If you finish all, no, half of these questions, I'll give you a reward.

A reward?! Yay! I'll do my best!

Give it all you've got, Chika.
