Shizuku, can I come in?
Oh, Shii!
Welcome! How can I help you?
Um, there's something I want to discuss with... Hey, hold up, personal space. I'm trying to talk here...
Oh, I'm sorry!
I'm just so happy about you coming to see me like this...
I know...
To be fair, it's not anything major...
Anyway... Wait, huh?
What's that in your hand, Shizuku?
Moon Viewing Stream...?
Oh, this?
It's about what we'll be doing for our next stream.
Ah, for your group...
Yes, exactly! We even decided to go with one of my ideas. Would you like to see?
Am I allowed to...?
Of course. Here.
Thanks.
Oh wow...
It's everything from what you need to prepare beforehand to how things will go the day of...
Yes, sometimes we'll lose track of what we originally planned, so it's important to have an agenda prepared prior to it.
I say we, but Airi always knows what to do. I'm usually the one who ends up stumbling around...
I can already see it...
O-Oh, I suppose that's just who I am...
But I still think this is really cool...
You came up with all this by yourself, Shizuku?
Yes, because the others are always coming up with such wonderful ideas...
I'm still not sure how this one will go, but my goal is to do everything I can for them and our viewers.
For your viewers...
Iori told me that having fun or just liking music won't be enough when we go pro.
She said that we'd have to put our music and fans first above anything else. She said that we'd be responsible for how they feel.
Okay...
This responsibility she's talking about may be about playing your best whenever you're on stage. At least, that's what I think...
It doesn't matter if you don't feel well or become sick, your audience will be waiting for you.
...
(Shizuku's trying her best to make her dreams come true, just like me...)
(No, that's not quite right...)
(She's not exactly pursuing her dreams. Rather, she's fulfilling her duties as a professional idol.)
(She understands how her fans feel about her and wants to put on the best performances she can for them... Like a true pro.)
You really are an amazing person...
I am? How...?
Well, it's just...
I can see that you're doing your best, Shizuku.
Huh...?
Wh-What is it?
Y-You've never said anything like this, Shii...!
H-Hey, calm down.
And why are you latching onto me?!
Because I'm so happy!
I can keep trying even harder since I know that you're there for me!
Okay, I get it...
Just relax, will you?
(Still...)
(Even when we were little, she was always there for me...)
(And not just back then either. Maybe even...)
...
Oh, Shii, wasn't there something you wanted to ask me...?
Oh, right...
(About doing a moon viewing together...)
(But I don't want to get in the way of whatever she and her group are doing either...)
It's okay. It's nothing, really...
Are you sure...?
I mean, don't you need to keep working on your stream?
Yes, that's true too. As much as I'd like to keep spending quality time with you, I should wrap this up as soon as I can.
Okay.
Um, Shizuku...
Yes?
Good luck.
Shii...
Yes, thank you...!
Hehe. I have to keep trying even harder since Shii's given me her support.
