Sigh...
Will I really have the chance to be an idol again?
No! I can't let myself think like that!
It'll only make me feel worse!
This is exactly when I need to act more like an idol!
I need a song to pick me up...
Hehe...
This is always my favorite group to listen to when I'm feeling down. Somehow, they always manage to put a smile on my face.
Idols sure are amazing...
Singing, dancing, making all those people smile...
You've been watching this girl a lot lately.
Do you really like her that much?
Yeah! It's like just seeing her makes me happy. I can't help but start smiling.
Oh...
That's right...
Watching that idol shining on the TV like that always made me smile...
She's the one who gave me the motivation to keep working hard day after day.
That's also the reason I wanted to become an idol too. I wanted to help spread those feelings to even more people.
And yet...
I guess that isn't pragmatic...
Still...
I...
This is your SEKAI. Come back and visit any time.
Especially if you're ever feeling down!
We'll make sure to cheer you right back up♪
SEKAI...
I wonder if I'll get any ideas if I visit now...
Oh, Airi!
You came to visit♪
Hi, Rin. It's been a while.
You're as energetic as ever.
Of course!
I had a feeling you'd come to visit again soon! Does this mean we're all singing together again?
Oh, um, actually...
Oh, but...? Where's everyone else? Are you alone?
Um, yeah...
It's just me today.
Is something wrong, Airi?
N-No, I'm...!
Sigh... There's no point in trying to act tough.
Besides, you've already seen me at my worst.
Yeah.
You're usually so full of energy, but I get worried about you when you look so upset.
Hehe. You're exaggerating.
It's not that serious...
It's just... A lot happened recently.
Like what?
Well...
I don't know what's troubling you, but I can see that it's something very important.
You can tell...?
That's easy!
I can see right through everything, you know!
Whether it's about you, everyone else who isn't here today, the weather tomorrow, even what you're going to have for dinner! I can see it all!
You're definitely making some of that up.
Oh, you got me! Hehehe♪
But...
I do feel a little better now.
I have something to ask you, Rin.
Me? What is it?
Can you sing me a song you think will help put a big smile on my face?
Oh, is that all? Coming right up!!
I have just the song for such an occasion!
This one's sure to make you smile and bring back the happy, energetic Airi everyone loves!
Rin...
Um... Thanks...
Alright, get ready to have some fun♪
Start the music!
