Morning!
The weather's so wonderhoy today!
Good morning, Emu!
Wow! You look so cheerful today!
Yes. I think I figured out what I need to do.
I'm not sure if this will actually solve things but...
I've been thinking about what I can do to help everyone in class enjoy the choir recital.
That's great!
Hey, so is there anything I can do to help at all?
Huh? You want to help?
Sure I do! I'm happiest when everyone has a bright smile on their face after all☆
Hehe, thank you. I'd feel a lot better with you helping out.
Well...here's something you can help with. I'd like you to do a survey of the class.
Sure thing! You can count on me☆
(Okay, Emu helped collect all the surveys...)
(Now, we just have to decide on our song...)
...
But sometimes, you need the courage to become even kinder. And I'm sure you'll find that courage.
What do you think it means to be kind, Honami?
I want to...
Phew...
That was awesome, Hona!
Huh?
That felt a lot better than usual.
I was really able to sing like I meant it.
Y-You think so?
Yes. And you're starting to sound like her too.
Like MEIKO's drumming, that is.
Oh...
The drum is the foundation that supports the band. It has the power to draw out the entire band's potential.
Thanks to MEIKO's drumming, Miku and Luka are able to go all out and play to their heart's content.
Is this about the drummer being the foundation of the band?
No wonder! That means Hona's drumming let us play our parts to the fullest too!
Your sense of rhythm needs work.
And you're still not at MEIKO's level...
But you've gotten a lot better than before.
Thank you, Shiho.
Maybe it's because I felt so much better after speaking with all of you the other day about what happened in my class.
Do you think your class will be all good for the recital now?
I don't know yet, but all of my preparations are in place.
We just need to decide on a song now.
And that won't be a problem...?
Honestly... I'm a little scared...
But it's something I have to decide on, so I'm going to do everything I can.
I see...
Don't worry, Hona! I mean, you have us!
I know.
No matter what happens, we're here for you. We know how much effort you're putting in for the class.
Got it! Thank you!
Looks like she's fine now.
I think so too...
But...
What is it, Miku? Are you pouting?
N-No, I'm not.
I'm sure it's because you helped Honami before she could.
Miku was thinking long and hard yesterday about what to say to Honami so...
Y-Yes, but that doesn't mean I was pouting about it! I'm just glad to see that Honami's okay now.
I guess, I just wanted to help her like someone in my position should that's all...
Haha. You're already a good role model, Miku.
Everyone here really is as kind as can be.
