*Sigh*
All we did was have a talk at the office, but I feel really tired for some reason.
A lot just happened, so I don't blame you.
Yeah, a lot...
*Nod*
It all began with our aspirations...
You wish to move people's hearts, cheer them up, bring them together... And do everything you can to make the above come true.
While they all have their minor differences, your collective desire to move people's hearts remains unchanged, yes...?
Understood. It suits you all very well.
Then, we were asked to pick a leader.
As pros, you'll surely be faced with a myriad of challenges and obstacles.
Of course, if anything happens, I'll be there to help. I plan on doing what I can to keep you moving in the right direction.
However, I'm also an employee of this record company. My job is to make your band and music as marketable as possible.
In other words, the onus is on you to keep your band together...
Not only that, we got to meet the president of Solis Records, and he's going to hear us play!
When we put it all together like this, so much happened so fast...
Still, I'm really glad Honami volunteered to be our leader right then and there.
You had a good look on your face then.
O-Oh, really...?
I'm starting to feel a little embarrassed.
Also, I was only able to raise my hand because all of you, including Mr. Shindo, encouraged me by saying that I'd do a good job.
Which is why I plan on doing everything I can for this band.
Honami...
But that doesn't make you any less amazing! I mean, you've already done something really cool for us!
Oh, are you talking about when she decided to have Mr. Ota hear us play?
Yeah!
We decided to go pro because we want as many people as possible to hear our music...
And if this is our chance to do that...then we accept.
That's okay with all of you, right...?
You didn't just ask if it was okay with us.
You asserted yourself like a real leader!
Yeah, you sounded pretty confident about your decision as our leader that time.
I agree. It was a good reminder of how amazing a person you really are, Honami.
N-No, I just...
What's this?
Is our fearless leader blushing?
You're in for a scolding if you keep teasing our leader like that, Saki.
Hear that? These two are apparently asking for it. What are you gonna do, leader?
Please, everyone...
If you don't stop, I'll have no choice but to make you all write letters of apology!
Letters of apology?
Aren't you supposed to be scolding us?
Okay, Saki, you'll be writing two for me.
Wait! This is really happening?!
No, Hona, I'm sorry!
Please just scold me like you would normally!
Normally...?
Haha.
Hehe.
