To think that new areas can appear in SEKAI...
Plus...
I've always seen Airi as an idol.
To be honest, I'm new and don't know what Airi was like when she was still with QT. But based on her behavior, it's clear that she just wants to cheer everybody up and make them smile...
That's what I really love about her.
That's why I see her as a pure idol.
I thought I should just make the most of my experience and talents as a variety-show spectacle...
But I see now that I shouldn't typecast myself or narrow down my options like that.
Also...
I don't want to disappoint those who see me as a real idol.
Which means I should tell her...
Ayumi!
Sorry for making you meet with me so early in the morning.
No, that's totally fine since I needed to be here for morning practice!
Anyway, what's up?
There's something you wanted to tell me in person?
It has to do with what we were talking about yesterday...
Remember when I said that I wasn't exactly a “pure” idol?
Oh, yeah...
(I knew it...)
Ayumi...
I'm really sorry!
Huh?! Airi...?
I got the wrong idea about what you were thinking...
Despite you clearly believing that I'm a “pure” idol, I ended up saying something really insensitive...!
So, I'm really sorry!
Airi...
I'm gonna make a promise right here to never say anything like that ever again.
I'm going to be the idol that I believe I am moving forward!
...!
*Nod*
Yeah! That's what the Airi I know would say!
Wait, why are you getting all teary?
Because I also couldn't get the conversation we had the other day out of my head...
I knew that you're always doing your best as an idol, but I couldn't say anything to help you...
Oh, you...
It's my fault for making you feel that way, so cheer up!
Okay...
Thanks, Airi.
Hehe. I'm starting to become an even bigger fan of yours. You can count on me to always cheer you on!
Great! And I'll keep doing my best to fill you with tons of hope! As Airi Momoi, the idol!
