Hmm...
How strange. The first-year classroom should be around here but...
Oh...!
Oh, are you a first year by chance?
I'm looking for Class 1-A. Would you mind showing me where it is?
Hello...
Whoa, it's Hinomori's big sis!
Oh, hey! Maybe she's here to see Hanasato?
Sh-Shizuku...
Hi, Shizuku!
Shii! Minori!
Ugh... Could you not yell our names out like that while barging in...?
Let's let her off this one time.
But what brings you to our class, Shizuku?
Oh, I'm letting you know that I may not be able to come to practice today because of committee work.
I thought I should hand this to you while I still had the chance...
Th-This bag's really heavy...
Can we look inside?
Yes, of course.
Let's see...
Oh, it's a book about voice training!
And some notebooks too!
They're all books I read and notes I took for practice when I was just starting out as an idol.
I was wondering if these might be of some help to you as well when you're not sure where to go.
Wow! These are full of tips and tricks that I'd like to try!
But are you sure about giving these to me?
Yes, of course.
Unlike Airi and Haruka, I'm not very good at giving pinpoint answers or detailed advice, but I thought I could at least help you like this.
My hope is that these will be useful to you as well, so there's no need to hesitate.
Okay...!
Thank you, Shizuku!
Oh, but this book seems a little more advanced than the others. This looks pretty difficult...
Everything I learned online, plus everything I learned from you and the others, only included the basics. Can I really learn these things...?
Don't worry, Minori. I believe you'll have a much easier time than you think, especially now.
Really?!
Yes, I do. I hope you'll give them a try.
Yeah, okay!
I'll take good care of them!
Hehe.
Oh, there's also something else I wanted to do, if it's alright?
Which is...?
I'd like to have lunch together.
Wait, lunch?
Minori and I already ate...
You did...?
Duh. Can't you see break's already half over?
That seems rather strange. I left my class as soon as the bell rang...
You got lost again, didn't you?
Shizuku, you put yourself through all that to give me your books and notes...?!
I'll join you! We can have lunch together!
Minori, thank you...!
That settles that then. I'll leave you two to...
No, Shiho! Wait!
Let's all go together!
I really want to hear about what you two are like at home too!
Then I really don't want to go...
But it'd be the first time we all had lunch together too...!
Shiho, please! I promise to buy you a cream puff or an éclair later so...!
That's fine. I don't really like sweets anyway.
Pleeease...!
...
(I never knew that Minori and Shii were so close.)
If you don't come, you'll make Shizuku skip her lunch and go through her classes this afternoon on an empty stomach...!
Yes, yes. Poor her.
No, please...! Shiho!
Hehehe.
