Ah, Kaho-san. Good luck with your manager work.
You too, Sayaka-chan! Good luck with practice!
Right.
Good mor… ning…?
Oh, you’re already here? I’m sorry, I hadn’t noticed.
Oh, no, it’s okay!
But I had no idea you knew how to play the guitar, Kozue-senpai! I’m so impressed!
I’m not particularly skilled at it. Everyone in my family engages in music.
From a young age, we take part in a little bit of everything.
A little bit of everything…? Does that mean you can play other instruments, like the piano!?
And the violin and trumpet. I also know the flute and sax.
S-s-s-so cool…
But when it comes to composing my own music, I generally only play the guitar and the keyboard.
Composing… wait, composing!? You mean like, making your own music, right!?
Y-yes. Since we’re putting on a show at the welcome party, I thought I’d debut a new song there.
Oh, if you’d like, I could play it for you. I’m not quite finished with it, though.
I’ll listen to it! I want to hear it! Please, let me hear it!
If you think of something you’d like to add, go ahead and point it out.
Yeah! Wait, there’s no way I could do that!
You shouldn’t just emphatically refuse like that.
I want to make the best song I can, so please, Miss Manager.
Oof… I didn’t know I’d have that responsibility…
I just gave it to you. I’ll be singing with all my heart just for you, okay?
You can’t just say that like that… Alright, fine, I get it…
Thank you.
♪♪♪
Well, what did you think…? Oh!
Amazing! That was amazing! Your voice is so nice, Kozue-senpai!
It was really firm but carefree… It was the best I’ve ever heard!
On a scale from 1 to 10, that was a 12!
T-thank you. But, this is somewhat embarrassing…
I’ve never been complimented to this degree before…
Huh!?
If you performed that on stage, Hasunosora would be flooded by all the tears from all the moved students!
It was really really good! I give it Kaho’s gold star of approval!
So, if there was anything you wanted to change…
…Nothing! It was perfect!
Hmhm, you sound completely sure about that.
I feel more confident in it now that you’ve said all that.
Yeah! Your song will definitely make everyone blossom into smiles, Kozue-senpai!
That sounds nice. So if I work harder on it…
Would I be able to make my manager blossom into a smile too?
W-well… I-I guess so…
Hmhm, in that case… It seems I’ll just have to work harder on it.
Kozue-senpai! Where are we going now?
Hmhm, my apologies. I’ve been appointed to the welcoming committee.
So, there are a lot of things I need to get done…
Oh, could you hold some of these for me?
Gah–
Now then, we shouldn’t rush, but we should go as fast as we can.
If we don’t get this done within an hour, we won’t have any more time for composing.
Huh!? We’re still going back to the club room after all this!?
Of course, we’re still working to set up the show, after all.
Don’t worry, Hinoshita-san.
If we deal with these one by one, we’ll be able to see the end of it eventually.
But if the work keeps piling up, then it’ll never end, right!?
Exactly, well spotted.
Basically, we shouldn’t rush, but we do need to be quick.
But… but then my whole day will be gone before I even know it!
Are we doing dance choreo now?
Yes. Even if the melody and lyrics are done, we still aren’t finished.
After that, we still have to perform the song.
If we come up with a perfect choreography for the song, then the performance will become even better.
Huh…
So school idols really do everything themselves, huh…
Yes, and that’s where all the fun comes from. There’s a lot to worry about, too, though.
Oh, that’s right! Hinoshita-san…
W-what is it this time…
Want to try the choreography with me?
I want to make sure it’ll fit the song.
M-me!?
Usually, I ask Tsuzuri to do this part, but it seems she’s completely focused on teaching Murano-san at the moment.
Don’t worry, we’ll only do simple dance moves. Please, try to do what I do.
Uuu… I’m sure even if I said no, you’d get me to do it anyway, so I’ll do it, but…
Very perceptive of you. I appreciate the help, Miss Manager.
So, like this?
Basically. Although, you should stand up straight.
Also, you should imagine a wire connected through to your fingertips. Yes, just like that. Well done.
E-ehehe…
I see… Yes, this looks good.
Alright, I’ll come back with my guitar, and we can try it again.
A-alright! But Senpai, I can’t dance as well as you can, okay!?
Don’t laugh at me if it looks weird!
Hmhm, of course.
Hey, weren’t you laughing at me just now!?
T-that was different. I was just having fun.
Look, let’s just start!
I guess that was… kinda fun…
Because Senpai asked me to, I ended up dancing again…
And on a different day, I helped her make their outfits…
Then we stayed behind with some other people to finish setting up the stage…
…Why…?
Why is this school so secluded in the mountains, with nothing but the sound of bugs to keep me company?
This is so different from what I’d dreamed of…
…haa…
The transfer application deadline is almost here…
It’s… on the same day as the welcome party…
I guess… I have to decide by then, huh…
But I… I have to blossom.
That’s why I’ve dealt with this for this long…
Oh, hi… Yeah, it’s me.
Kaho’s Mother:
Oh, Kaho-chan! How are you? Have you been doing well over there?
I’m fine, what do you want?
Kaho’s Mother:
I was just thinking that I wanted to hear your voice. And ask if you were doing well.
You don’t have to call me just for that. You’re so overprotective…
Kaho’s Mother:
I don’t think this is like that.
Besides! Hasunosora is completely different!
Kaho’s Mother:
Huh, is it?
You said that the school was right by the train station, with a brand new school building where you could study whatever you wanted!
But that’s not what this is at all! This is just a prison where you can’t do anything!
Kaho’s Mother:
I didn’t say any of that though…
I only told you stories of the time when I went to school there.
Huh!? So… I just made up all of those things myself…!?
Kaho’s Mother:
Kaho-chan… Hasunosora’s a good school.
I’m sure you’ll find something you want to do there.
Kaho’s Mother:
So, have you made any friends there yet?
I…
Anyway! You might’ve won this time, but I have my own plans!
I don’t have to follow what you or Dad say!
I can blossom, all by myself!
Yeah, I have my own plans too…
I do!
