*Sigh*

Another exhausting practice...

Nice work, everyone.

We got quite a lot done today.

Thank you very much.

Your technique is so beautiful, Asahina. I learned so much just by watching you.

Hehe. Thank you, I'm glad you thought so.

She's so right!

But you did really well too, Hinomori. You don't look tired at all.

Yes, Hinomori, you emptied quite a few quivers. Are you sure you're not tired?

Yes, I'm fine.

I am a little tired, but I feel like I can keep going as well.

Being an idol and all, I'm not always able to be here, so I also need to work harder than most to make up for that lost time.

Hehe. That's very commendable.

Yeah, even though you're busy as an idol, you still find the time to put in the work here. If I don't do the same, you'll end up leaving me behind!

Yes, I agree. I'll try my best to do the same.

But for now, let's all go home and get some rest. We can continue next time we meet.

Okay!

Bye, everyone.

See you!

(It was so nice to be able to focus on this for once.)

(Let's see... Next, I have to start thinking of ideas for our stream.)

What would be good for our next segment...?

(Everyone else always comes up with such wonderful ideas, so I'm hoping to be able to contribute this time!)

(But still...)

(Oh, I know...!

We could have a squeaky-clean cleaning contest or a blindfolded udon tasting challenge!)

(Doing a cleaning contest would also be a nice way to straighten out our rooms as well...)

(The udon challenge would even mean that we'd get to try different kinds of noodles too...! That sounds wonderfully delicious...!)

(But I feel like I can still do better...)

Hmm...

Is everything okay, Hinomori? Is something bothering you?

Oh, Asahina...

It's nothing, but I appreciate your concern.

Oh? If you say so...

But if there is something on your mind, don't hesitate to ask me for help.

Asahina...

Thank you, I think I'll take you up on that offer.

I'm trying to come up with some ideas regarding what my idol group should do next.

Your idol group...?

...

Asahina...?

Oh, I'm sorry...

I've never been asked about anything like this before, so I was caught a little off guard.

Um... I don't know much about idols, so I'm not sure how much I'll be able to help... But I'd like to hear what's on your mind if that's okay with you...

Just talking may even help.

Yes, I see...

Alright, we can try that.

So...

I see...

So you need ideas for your stream.

Yes. The other girls in my group are always coming up with such great ideas, so I was hoping that maybe I could this time...

Hehe. That's so thoughtful of you, Hinomori.

I'd like to help somehow...

Hmm... Ideas for your stream...

Oh, what if you did something with some seasonal flair to it?

Seasonal flair?

Yes. Fall is just about upon us, so it might be nice to introduce some seasonal desserts or even just books that you might recommend...

Oh, moon viewing as well.

Moon viewing...?

(Shii and I used to do those all the time when we were little. We haven't done one in quite a while since we've grown older...)

(Hehe.)

I'm sorry. I think this is the best I can do for now. I wish I could've done better.

No, you were enormously helpful.

I do think something seasonal is the way to go!

Videos involving food also rarely ever disappoint and we'd get to introduce the things we like, so it sounds like a wonderful plan.

(But moon viewing...)

(If possible, I'd really like to do that with Shii...)

Hehe. You've given me some great ideas, Asahina. Thank you so much.

Don't mention it.

I'm just glad that I was able to help.

Oh, it's getting pretty late...

I need to head to cram school soon.

I'll be looking forward to your stream.

Yes, again, thank you!

Please be safe.

(I'm so glad I asked her about this. She gave me so many good ideas...)

(Once I get home, I should put pen to paper and sort them all out.)

(But before I do that...)

Maybe I can spend some time looking for that photo.
