Let's see, the section for photo albums is... Oh, here it is!

This one's the kind where you glue in your photos... Oh, this one's the kind with pockets! They come in so many colors and shapes too!

Hmmm, which do I pick...?

This animal one is cute, and this one with the starry pattern...

Wait, huh? Over there, that's...

Haaaruuukaaa!

Saki? What a coincidence.

It is! Are you shopping too, Haruka?

Wait, that thing you're holding...

Hehe, I've been found out.

Actually, I'm here looking at photo albums too. Seeing what you've been doing made me want to put one together myself.

You're making one too?

Yeah. I've mentioned this before, but I was busy with work up through junior high, so it'd been a while since I enjoyed my school life like I have been lately...

So I thought to myself that I'd like to make my memories of this year last, like you.

Oh...!

Then, let's show each other when they're finished!

That sounds nice. I'd like to see your photo album too.

Oh yeah, did you get that picture of us playing dodgeball from Ichika and the others? The one with you and me in it...

Oh, yeah I did!

From when we hit Emu, right?

The one where we're high-fiving and shouting, “Yay!”

Yeah, that one. I got that from Ichika as well. I wanted to put it in my album.

I had no idea! Then, we'll be matching♪

Oh, but there might be other matching pictures!

Look, I have this picture from the Sports Festival, and some from when we went on the field trip too!

Oh... You're right.

You've got pictures from the School Festival, and the ones we took with Minori and the others the other day too.

Hehe. It just goes to show how many fun times I've had with you.

Oh...

Yeah! You're right!

Thanks for giving me these wonderful memories, Saki...

I'm really happy I got to be in the same class as you...and got to become your friend.

Haruka...

C'mon... The same goes for me!

Eating lunch with you, taking classes together, doing our best during all those school events, hanging out and having fun together...

All of that was suuuper fun, so...!

So... I'll treasure the memories I made with you, forever and always!

Yeah... I will too.

Just one more reason to work hard on our photo albums!

Yeah!

Alright!

I've got all the materials, so it's time to do my best making this album!

First, I've gotta choose which pictures to use!

If I add up all the ones on my phone, plus the ones I got from Shiho and the girls... Whoa, it looks like there's around five hundred!

With this many, it'll probably be pretty tough to pick out which I want to use... But I'll do my best!

Let's see, first I'll separate them by season... Oh!

I remember this one!

This is from when I went to PXL with Ichi and the girls! Tsukasa and his troupe showed us around...

Oh yeah! The haunted house was scarier than we expected, and Hona and I screamed a whole lot.

Oh... This is from the first time we performed at a live house!

There weren't many people in the audience, and I was super nervous, but we got to perform our own song, and I had a lot of fun...!

I've got all these pictures of our school events too...! The Seaside School, the School Festival...

I'd seen school festivals on dramas and stuff and always wanted to go to one, so I was really happy about it...

Both the event itself and the time we spent preparing for it all just screamed “youth”!

I've really been making the most of my youth...

(Back then, I always felt like I was gonna be left behind all on my own...)

(Everyone else would be doing all kinds of fun stuff like playing with their friends or going on the school trip... But I could never be part of that...)

(It felt like I was fading out of everyone's lives... And I was scared.)

(But now...)

(I've been able to make lots of memories with everyone...)

(I'm also a part of everyone's memories...)

(I've made so many memories that I'm having trouble choosing between all these pictures... I'm so glad.)

(This is all thanks to everyone around me...)

(They offered to make more memories with me, and helped me with the list of things I wanted to do... That made me really happy.)

(I want to thank them all properly...)

But... How can I do that?

Oh...

Yeah! I just came up with something good♪
