…What are these supposed to be…?
Acorns. As thanks for before.
…Uh…?
Oh, they look like they've got little hats on! Cute~.
Yeah. They were surprisingly hard to find. Here, you can have some, too, Kaho.
So anyway, what are you thanking us for?
Ah, right. Sorry, just a sec. Um… You two really helped me out before.
I really needed it because I didn't notice how much Saya cared for me. So, thanks.
…Tsuzuri…
I don't really get it…
But Sayaka-chan looks really happy, and her performance with you was amazing!
So I'm happy for you!
Kaho… Yeah, it's thanks to you. Thank you.
I still don't know what I did, though, ehehe…
Thank you too, Kozu.
You've really changed. I could never have imagined the old you thanking anyone.
Kozue-senpai?
Hmhm… Alright then, why don't we start practicing? I'm sure those two will be fine now.
Okay!
And just like that. Hm… Saya?
Ah… it's nothing. I'm just glad you've gone back to your usual self. I really admire that part of you.
Oh, good. So do you understand how to do the move?
…I'll give it a try.
…Hm…
Oh, I guess that was no good, huh?
No, it was good. Seriously, I liked it.
…Thank you. But, still…
You're doing your best, and that's really charming. I really mean that.
But… It also feels like you have rice stuck to your cheek.
I don't really understand…
I wanna take it off…
Wait, is there really rice on my face!?
No, there isn't.
Hnnn…!!
But I'm kinda curious. I bet you are too, Saya.
Yes… Though, I don't understand myself what's wrong.
I know I'm doing exactly as you do, but I don't understand why it feels so different, Yugiri-senpai.
I got it.
Senpai?
I'll dance until you understand.
Until I understand!?
Okay, here I go.
W-wait, Senpai–!
…So, do you understand now?
I see…
I'm really sorry for all the trouble I'm causing…
Alright, let's keep going until you understand.
H-hold on!
Why are we stopping?
Because! I've been going at it every day, and I still don't get it, so even if you've decided to try really hard today, I just–!
…I just don't think anything will change.
Saya.
I'm not sure either, but I don't think this is something you'll figure out just by keeping at it.
But–
But maybe you'll understand it today.
Yugiri-senpai…
What I understand is that I want to be school idols with you, Saya.
So I want to do what I can to help you.
…
From the beginning, my goal was to study what made you so amazing.
Saya?
Listening to you say this much praise of me, even though I haven't accomplished anything toward that goal… it makes me so annoyed with myself.
Hey, Saya.
Mmf–
I want you to show me your best.
My… best?
I've always thought that if you do your best, you could be something amazing, Saya.
And, that I could also do more amazing things, if you were with me.
Wait, please. Please, just… just wait. Even if you say that…
It's just…
This is… already my best. Even if it doesn't seem that way to you, it is.
Hm? It isn't, though?
It is! If you don't think it is, you highly overestimate me…
No, Saya.
This isn't your best. You just don't know it yet.
Let's think of how we can bring out your best, Saya.
Huh…?
And when you do bring it out, let's put on an even better performance together.
I want to do what I can. And to do that, I want to know more about you.
So tell me anything.
Even if it's the smallest thing about you, we might be able to get something from it. Let's talk.
