Thank you for agreeing to see me today, Ruby. You brought me such a tremendous amount of reference material.

*Giggle* There were just too many school idol magazines that I wanted to show you, so the pile got this big.

Wasn't it heavy?

Not really. I barely felt the weight at all.

When you're walking and carrying things you love with you, it's like the cheery feelings outweigh everything else!

Anyway, look at this. These school idols are my favorites right now!

Oh, this is the group that you told me about the other day. I recall that they performed incredibly well in the video you showed me then.

Right?! And you see, this group—I really want you to see how the fans who come to watch their live shows react.

Hm?

What I mean is, the sense of unity at the venue is incredible. I thought that aspect might also be a good reference for you!

I see. So it's worth keeping the sense of unity at the venue in mind…

This group does choreography with acrobatic elements. I find that aspect rather compelling.

Whoaaa! That's right! Every girl in this group has amazing acrobatic skills! It says here that they have a background in rhythmic gymnastics.

Rhythmic gymnastics?! That makes sense. Let me make a note. “A background in rhythmic gymnastics…”

*Giggle* You've taken so many notes, Shioriko.

I have. I wish to learn everything thoroughly.

Ruby, I am still lacking knowledge in many areas when it comes to school idols. Please teach me even more of what you know.

I can do that! The school idol magazines I brought here today all have great stuff in them. I'll explain everything right from the very basics!

Thank you for teaching me! I would love to become as knowledgeable as you are!
