The night show was so awesome!
It really was! It was so amazing too when they cast their spell over us!
This may've been because of all the illuminations, but all the rides and attractions seemed a little different too.
Oh, what if we saw the night show while riding the Ferris wheel next time?
That sounds incredible!
Imagine what it'll look like from way up there.
We should all see it together!
S-Sure...!
It'd be fun to see it with you, An.
But for now, let's call it a day.
Yeah, okay.
Thanks for inviting us out today, Kohane, Minori! I had a blast!
Me too. That was super duper fun!
And I got to hear all about Haruka's past...!
I'm not sure you need to highlight that part...
Hehe. But I'm glad I got to hear that as well. It's clear now just how much you both mean to each other.
And I hope we can keep hanging out together like this...
Of course!
Again, thank you for today.
You're welcome...!
Okay, I'll be going now...
Wait, Kohane, can you stick around just a little bit longer?
Huh? Uh, okay...
Thank you for inviting me out today, Minori. I had a really incredible time.
No, I should be the one thanking you. And sorry for being such a bother today.
I'm sorry too...
What?! Why are you apologizing, Haruka?!
Because I feel like I'm the reason you didn't feel well today. It's like I made you do some things that you didn't want to.
...
You didn't make me but...
About those stories you told us...
You know, when you and An first met?
Sure.
It dawned on me that I really know nothing about you, Haruka.
What?
U-Uhh, I mean... When it comes to Haruka Kiritani the idol, I probably know more than anyone else!
But I learned today that I really don't know anything about Haruka the girl...
How you like roller coasters, how you look amazing in really cool clothes and how competitive you are...
I learned about all those things for the first time today...
Minori...
I admire you so much and get to hang out with you like this, but there's still so much that I don't know about you.
On top of that, I'm so jealous of An for having known you for so long, and I felt this enormous gap between us...
Which is why I convinced myself to ride that roller coaster today...
I see...
Hehe. So that's what happened.
I... I'm so sorry!
And I'm being a huge bother right now too!
Please, just try to forget about everything...!
No, I won't. How can I forget about something that makes me feel so happy?
H-Happy...?
Yes, happy.
Because you're making a real effort to get to know me as a person and not as an idol.
You're making an effort not just as my fan, but because you want to be my friend...
I can't thank you enough for that.
R-Really...?
Yes, really. Thank you for being so honest with me.
But no more forcing yourself into doing things that you don't like, okay? I like you just the way you are, Minori.
H-Haruka...
Thank you so much!
I promise to keep learning as much as I can about you!
And one day, I'm gonna know more about you than anybody else!
Hehe. Thanks.
I hope I get to know more about you too, Minori.
Me too!
Thanks, Haruka!
Thanks again for inviting me out today! I had so much fun!
And that night show at the end!
It was my first time seeing it, but it was so pretty and spectacular!
I had fun too!
I was hoping that we'd get to see it together for a while now.
And they change what they do periodically, so we should come back when we get a chance.
Is that true?!
Hit me up when that happens!
Okay!
But... Is something bothering you, An?
Oh, it's just... You seemed a bit off today, you know?
When we were trying on clothes and even during the night show, you had this look on your face...
Huh? Oh...
It was nothing, really.
That had to do with how you look good in just about anything...
And how much fun it looked like you were having today.
Kohane...
You know that I was able to have that much fun today because of you, right?
What?
One, you showed us around the park.
Two, you were so kind and thoughtful.
I mean, you helped us find the Phenny hiding below the clock!
Oh...
No, I just happened to remember that.
That's just one example out of the entire bunch!
So thank you, Kohane.
An...
And remember what you said about the Ferris wheel? About seeing a different side of the park?
Wanna go on it together to cap things off?
J-Just us?
Yeah! Our last hurrah to finish off an awesome day!
Okay...!
The Ferris wheel's over that way, so we'll have to walk for a bit...
That's totally fine!
We can look at all the illuminations along the way!
Huh...?
An, what's wrong?
Kohane, that fountain...
Something seems different about it now...
Different how...?
Look! The center of the fountain under Phenny's feet! It's like there's something there, but not. Can you see it?
Oh, you're right...!
Was there a Phenny hiding there this whole time?
I never knew that...!
I'm not sure if anyone else knows about this one!
Cool! That means we're the ones who discovered it first, right?
Oh, why don't we make this our hidden Phenny?
Ours...?
Yeah, it'll be our special spot.
*Gasp*...!
Okay...!
(It's amazing how bright An's smile is.)
(A part of me did feel a little sad throughout the day, but I guess I didn't really need to...)
(I want to keep being by her side...
I want to keep seeing that wonderful smile.)
