Okay, I'd better call it there for stretches and get started on my homework.
Oh, but first...
I think I'll take a look at the letter and pictures I got from Saki!
Yes!
I finally finished my album the other day, and...
I was thinking, it's thanks to all the people around me that I was able to make enough memories this year to fill up an album!
I wanted to thank you for that and for helping me with my list, so I brought gifts!
Hehe. It sounds like Saki finished off her list, and I'm so glad! I can't wait to see what photos she chose for me.
Oh... This is from our chocolate fondue party.
And this one's from the time we made chocolate treats for Valentine's Day! Hehe, that takes me back...!
Oh, she wrote about her memories of when each picture was taken in the letter, right? What does it say...?
“When it comes to my memories with you, I couldn't leave out Valentine's Day!”
“You were sooo helpful and cool when we made chocolate desserts together!”
“Your easy-to-understand baking lessons were one thing, but your ad-libbing also saved us when that unexpected trouble came up!”
Hehe, that's right.
It was pretty bad when Shizuku, Ichika and Tsukasa came to her house while we were there making our desserts.
We sure did panic that our surprise was about to be ruined!
It's nice having this letter since it helps me remember a lot of stuff while I look at the picture.
This is such a wonderful gift.
I'll have to thank Saki again later.
Still... At this point, it really feels like this is the group when it comes to anything chocolate.
Hehe, maybe I'll invite them to make desserts using a different type of chocolate next time♪
Let's see, the next picture is... Oh, this is from that show we did.
This is a great picture of the two of us! I'm glad!
The part of the letter for this photo is... Oh, here?
“This picture of you and me after your concert! I was so happy!”
“Airi, thank you so much for putting on a concert just for me!”
“Getting to see the idols I follow perform made me suuuper happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
You needed that many exclamation points?!
Well, I guess she enjoyed it just that much.
“I'd always wanted to go see one of your concerts...”
“I told you this before, but back when I was in the hospital, seeing you on TV cheered me up so much!”
“Even though I couldn't spend time with my friends, I was never lonely when I was watching TV...”
“And Happy Everyday gave me courage with the way she worked hard to make everybody smile, so I was able to push through my awful medical tests!”
Oh...
“So, I wanted to cheer you on in person for giving me so much hope... And that's why I wanted to go to one of your concerts!”
Saki...
So the reason you put going to one of my concerts on your list was so you could cheer me on...
“The other day, I was so incredibly moved that I didn't really manage to cheer for you...”
“But! I'm going to keep cheering for you a whole lot to make up for that!”
“Because now that I've seen you perform live, I love you and MORE MORE JUMP! more and more than ever!”
“Thank you for always giving me so much hope!”
“Airi, you're so kind, so cute, so cool, and I'll always be your fan!
Love, Saki”
Thank you, Saki...
I'm so grateful.
(I'm the one who needs to be thanking you.)
(I mean...)
(It's thanks to people like you, who tell me that I've given you hope... As long as I have you... As long as we have you, we can keep doing our best.)
(And to make sure I'll always remain the idol you love...)
Alright! I'm gonna keep doing my best tomorrow!
