Hi, I'm here!

Welcome! Thank you so much for taking the trouble to be here today.

It's no trouble at all. I wanted to see you as soon as I could, Shioriko. Here you go.

Wh— I-Is this all for me?!

Yeah. These letters and gifts are all from your fans.

Goodness… Um, this makes me so happy!

It's clear your fans have noticed just how hard you've been working. Isn't that great?

Yes! And it's all thanks to all of the support you've given me.

I'm delighted to have the chance to help you. Come on, let's read these letters.

Okay! Let's start with this one, then.

“I really admire your dignified appearance. I'll always be your fan, so keep doing your best.”

I'm truly humbled by your kind words! I'll keep diligently moving forward, so please keep supporting me!

No, it just goes to show how sincerely you feel toward all your fans. I think it's absolutely wonderful.

Thank you. I want to read all of these letters with the same sincerity.

Now, let's open this present.

Wow, a set of black tea and sweets! It looks delicious!

Oh, there's a message card on the box. Let me read it.

“Dear Shioriko, when I was worried about my entrance exams, I watched videos of your live shows online.”

“When I watched you giving your all, I realized I didn't want to have any regrets, so I rededicated myself to studying for exams.”

“It was thanks to you that I passed the exam for the school that was my first choice. Thank you so much.”

“Now it's my turn to cheer you on! I can't wait for your next live show!”

I'm so happy that my singing could support someone like that.

Isn't that wonderful?

Yes! I'm going to keep singing my heart out for the sake of everyone who supports me!
