Seeing Kaho and Kozue wholeheartedly perform at their event has inspired Sayaka, but Tsuzuri, who was watching alongside her, has been acting somewhat strangely…?

Tsuzuri:
I can't just let Kozu do all the work. I should help look for new club members too.
Tsuzuri:
But… It feels like handing these flyers out isn't the right way to do this…
Hm… How about…
This? Something more personal, maybe?
Tsuzuri:
How about I try some dancing?
I hope the people who see it like it…
Sayaka:
School Idol Club…?
Sayaka:
School idols, huh…? I guess I should check this club out, too…
Tsuzuri:
Oh, right. I'm not looking for people who like my dancing. I'm not looking for people who would listen to me, either. Just for people to invite…
Tsuzuri:
For school idols that I would like to see and come to like…
Sayaka:
Ah! U-um, what is it!? Does no one at this school understand the concept of personal space!?
Tsuzuri:
Are you interested in school idols?
Sayaka:
Huh? Interested? I'm not sure about that, yet. I was just thinking I might want to watch them.
Tsuzuri:
Okay. Then come to our performance.
Sayaka:
Huh? Oh, you must be from the School Idol Club… I thought you were just some strange person suddenly approaching me…
Tsuzuri:
There's a performance soon. Also…
Sayaka:
Yes?
Tsuzuri:
I think you would be an amazing school idol. Alright, see you later.
Sayaka:
Hey, wa– I haven't–!
Sayaka:
Starting today, I'll be working under you. I hope we can work well together! I'm glad that you'll be guiding me, Yugiri-senpai.
Tsuzuri:
Same to you. Thanks.
Sayaka:
Okay, so… uh, what should we start with? I'm ready for anything!
Tsuzuri:
Yeah. That's good. I think that attitude is really good for a school idol, Saya.
I like seeing that.
Tsuzuri:
Sorry, I don't really get what I'm saying. Just ignore it… So you were asking what we should start with.
Sayaka:
Y-yes.
Tsuzuri:
Then… Let's see… Could you stand next to me?
Sayaka:
…Um, okay?
Tsuzuri:
Sorry, I'm not sure about this, either. Let's just dance.
Tsuzuri:
What do I want for Saya, huh… I've put this question off without knowing what I wanted for this long.
…This time, I have to set this right.
Kaho:
One, two, three, four! One, two, three, four! Looking good, Sayaka-chan!
Sayaka:
Phew…
Kaho:
Here's a towel!
Sayaka:
Sorry, Kaho-san. I know you have your own practice to do, but here you are with me…
Kaho:
It's okay! You also really supported me a lot when I needed it! Even though I was supposed to be the club's manager!
Sayaka:
Speaking of which… you really helped me out back then too. Thank you so much for everything.
Kaho:
Ehehe~.
Kaho:
You're really amazing, Sayaka-chan! You've always been so good at this!
Sayaka:
Really? …But you've always shined brighter than me, Kaho-san.
Kaho:
Huh?
Sayaka:
I think I understand what "blossoming" means, more than before. When you were performing, you were shining so brightly.
Kaho:
R-really? I'm glad to hear it, but there's so much you can do that I can't. Compared to you, I have so much more improving to do!
Sayaka:
I… don't think so.
Sayaka:
I told you about how it feels like I'm plateauing recently, didn't I? That wasn't exactly right.
Until now, I've just been using my figure skating experience. I haven't changed or grown at all from before I started here.
Kaho:
Oh, really…?
Sayaka:
Yes.
Sayaka:
…
Alright, let's keep working a little longer.
Kaho:
Oh, okay…
Kaho:
Um, Sayaka-chan!
Sayaka:
Yes?
Kaho:
I really like your singing and dancing, Sayaka-chan! I think they're always really pretty!
So no matter what anyone else thinks, or even what you yourself think, seeing you always motivates me to keep working hard!
Sayaka:
Kaho-san…?
Kaho:
T-that's all I wanted to say!
Kaho:
I-I'm gonna go grab a drink!
Sayaka:
You're such a nice person.
Sayaka:
…But you know, Kaho-san. I was told that I could become an incredible school idol.
Yugiri-senpai invited me because she thought so. And yet, I'm in such a pitiful state right now.
Sayaka:
So I just have to keep working hard.
