Oh? Was that a scream…?
Ahhhhhh!
Oh!
Help, please! There’s a scary monster chasing me!
Are you talking about that?
Huh!? Ah! Is that… an otter!?
What’s it doing in a place like this!?
The school keeps it as a pet. The student council often feeds it.
A-ahaha… Sorry to disturb you.
Don’t worry about it, Ms. Cute-and-Energetic New Student.
I-I’m not cute or whatever…
But now that I’m safe, I think my legs are about to give out on me…
Oh, my!
I can take you to the nurse’s office, so can you hold on for just a moment?
W-wha–!?
I-I’ll be alright! I’ll be up in no time! So please, let me down–!
Are you sure? You haven’t sprained anything, have you? If you’re even a little unsure, then you shouldn’t force yourself.
R-right… Thank you very much… The older students sure are strong, huh… That surprised me…
Hmhm, It’s because I’ve trained a lot.
Oh, by the way, what were you doing in the mountains?
Uh…! Esc– no, wait! I just got a little lost, that’s all!
Yes, getting lost certainly is difficult.
Yeah, exactly! I still don’t know my way around and all! Ahaha…!
To get into the mountains, you would have to exit the school grounds through the main gate or by climbing over a tall fence…
You must have quite a poor sense of direction.
Huh…!?
But you’re quite fortunate.
In fact, every year there are about a hundred new students who get lost in the mountains, and most of them end up going missing.
One of my classmates still hasn’t come back…
Huhhhh!? Missing!?
Well, I was joking about students going missing.
But in all seriousness, you shouldn’t go into the mountains anymore from now on. There are some scary wild animals that live in this area.
Oh, uh, o-okay… I’m sorry…
There we go, you’re all cleaned up.
Your brand new uniform looks really good on you, so you should take care of it when you wear it.
T-thank you very much!
Anyway, I’ll be heading off now…
Ah, um, let me help you with that!
Oh, don’t worry about it.
I won’t tell anyone you were trying to run away.
W-w-wait! I’m not trying to get you to be quiet or anything!
Hmhm, sorry, just teasing~.
I appreciate and accept your assistance.
Okay!
To be honest, carrying those all the way to the clubroom does get lonely.
Having you to talk to made it feel so much better.
Oh, really? Ehehe, I love talking to people, so I’m glad I was able to help!
Thanks for your help. Oh, right, it seems I haven’t asked for your name yet.
I’m Kaho. Hinoshita Kaho!
I’m Otomune Kozue, and I’m a second-year.
Please, have a seat. Would you like some tea as thanks for your help?
Sure! Thank you very much!
So, what made you decide to run away?
Huh!? We’re still not done talking about that!?
I must hear your reason. Otherwise, I would feel responsible if you tried to do so again.
Uhhh… well, the thing is…
…I see. Basically, you wanted to be free, so you tried to run away.
Yeah, Kozue-senpai… But I couldn’t reach my freedom… No matter how wide those blue skies stretched ahead of me, they were still so far away…
The sun’s already started setting, though…
Um, what about you, Senpai? In the year you’ve been here… have you ever felt like the school was too strict?
…Freedom isn’t just what you can see.
Senpai?
Hinoshita-san.
I might not be able to solve your problems right away, but if you have the time, could you do one more thing for me?
O-of course, but what is it…?
I’ll show you a world you’ve never known.
A world I’ve never known…? Um, what… club is this again?
This is…
The School Idol Club…?
Hm, did you come to watch the performance as well, Kaho-san?
Ah, Sayaka-chan. Actually, Senpai invited me here.
I see. While I was looking through the clubs, one of our upperclassmen called out to me.
Oh, okay.
Ah, it looks like the performance is about to start!
…
Amazing…
She looks so pretty, right, Kaho-san?
Yeah… Kozue-senpai’s shining up there… and blossoming…
I didn’t know this world existed…
Thanks for coming today, everyone!
Coming up next, Yugiri Tsuzuri, another school idol, will take the stage! We hope you enjoy the performance until the end!
…!
Oh… she’s so incredible…!
So this is a school idol…!
…
How was that?
Oh, Kozue-senpai… Um, that was, that was incredible…
I’m glad you had fun.
Ah, um…
I’m Yugiri Tsuzuri. I’m a second-year in the School Idol Club, just like Kozu.
By the way, my favorite subject is math. I like clear-cut answers.
Um, okay…?
My apologies, she can be somewhat unique.
But, she’s wonderful at performing on stage.
Ah, yes. I saw tha–...
Excuse me…!
Ah!
Thank you for inviting me, Yugiri-senpai! Your performance was really pretty…!
Thanks. Your compliments make me happy. I didn’t think you would be this impressed, though.
…So, did you consider what we talked about before?
Yes, I…
I would like to receive your guidance, Yugiri-senpai. Please, allow me to join the School Idol Club!!
Huh…
Huh!? You’re joining, Sayaka-chan!?
Yes, Kaho-san. I’ve made my decision.
Like I said before, I came to this school to try and change myself, so I have to try new things.
And that means joining the School Idol Club…?
Yes!
So that means…
Ah!
Welcome to the club, Saya. Let’s work hard to be school idols.
Y-yes! I look forward to working with you.
Hmhm, good job, Tsuzuri. I wonder if you’ll feel more like an upperclassman with a first-year under your wing.
I hope so.
This was about you, right? Hmph.
Anyway, Hinoshita-san. The two of us perform as the School Idol Club.
And starting today, we have three members. That makes me happy. patpatpatpat…
H-hey, Yugiri-senpai… T-this is a little embarrassing…
…
So, Hinoshita-san. If you’d like to…
Huh? O-oh, yes?
…
We’re planning on having another performance next week.
As you can see, though, we need as much help as we can get. If you can, could you help us?
O-oh… okay. If it’s alright with you, I can do that much.
Thank you.
Um!
?
Y-your performance… was really great.
That’s all I wanted to say! Okay, bye!
Senpai was shining so brightly up there… Compared to her, I’m just…
No. I have to blossom myself here. So I have to…!
