Yugiri-senpai, could I say something before we start practice today? It won't be long.
Huh, what could it be? That's kinda scary. Maybe it'd be better if I didn't let you.
But…
Go ahead, though.
…Ahaha, thanks… That's a little reassuring.
I'm sorry.
The reason why I wanted to join the School Idol Club…
And the reason why I wanted to study your performances was because I wasn't getting the figure skating results I wanted.
…
I've been able to learn a lot from you, Yugiri-senpai, and I can feel myself improving every day as a result.
But… But to repay all the kindness you've shown me, all I've given are these dishonest motives for being a school idol.
I… already knew that?
Huh?
Well, maybe it'd be better to say I already understood that?
You didn't even know what school idols were, but you wanted me to teach you how I perform.
I-I guess so, but…
Okay, um… Well, why don't we start practicing? We have a performance coming up, so–
Yugiri-senpai… I think that I've only been able to improve because you've taught me so much.
I feel a real sense of accomplishment right now.
I no longer feel pessimistic when I review my videos… and I won a tournament for the first time…
I can finally feel proud that I promised to work hard for my sister as well. So, I just wanted to thank you.
I see. Okay, I'm glad to hear that. Now let's start practicing.
P-Please stop rushing me! Don't you know interrupting people like that is really rude!?
It's just…
Just what?
Hearing things like that at this point doesn't make me happy. It just makes me feel like everything's gonna be over soon.
Huh!? I'm not quitting being a school idol, though?
Huh?
I wasn't planning on quitting at all! Where did you even get that idea!?
I mean, just now… you were talking about why you became a school idol…
…
Now that you mention it…
Yeah.
Were you thinking I was giving my farewell speech?
That's what I was saying.
Heh… Ahaha!
I'm sorry. That wasn't what I intended at all.
I really didn't think that through.
I've gotten this far because of all the effort I've put in to become a school idol. But it isn't as if I'm planning on stopping here.
So I look forward to continuing working with you. I'll keep doing my best!
Are you sure?
Yes! I'm sure!
Alright. Sorry for getting so worried. Now then, let's start.
Let's do this!
Tsuzuri, I apologize for the sudden request, but I have something I'd like to ask… hm?
Yeah, just like that.
Okay! How does this look?
…Yeah, I like that.
Thank you very much! I still have plenty to show you, though!
Alright… This is fun, isn't it?
It is!
…Hmhm. It looks like Murano-san's doing well.
I suppose I should wait until some other time. Times like these are meant to be enjoyed, after all.
Phew… okay, that felt pretty good. I'm… getting a little tired, though.
But my body feels so light. I don't think I could have ever imagined feeling like this before.
I think I'm finally at a point where I can feel satisfied with myself. I've worked so hard to get here for over a year now…
Watch over me, okay, Sis?
Oh, thank goodness you're still here!
Kaho-san!? Why are you here!?
Ehehe, I came to see you! I was really worried for you…
Thank… you?
Taking the bus here isn't that dangerous, though?
That's not what I mean! I was just worried that you were working yourself too hard.
You were working really hard with Tsuzuri-senpai today too, so I was worried you would run out of energy after all this practice.
It's just, I mean… I don't want you to overwork yourself or something…
Hehe…
P-Please don't laugh at me!
No, I'm sorry. I wasn't laughing at you, Kaho-san.
I was just… really happy.
Uh…
I'm very sorry for worrying you.
But I'm okay. Unlike you, I've been training like this since I was young.
Oof… Here, a towel!
Thank you very much. I'm nearly done for today, so once I change back to my uniform, why don't we go back to the dorms together?
I wouldn't want for you to get in trouble for breaking curfew after you came here for my sake.
It'll be okay. Do your best, but don't push yourself, okay? Don't push yourself!
I promise I won't. Would you like to watch me finish up my practice here?
Huh…? Yeah, of course!
Alright, I'm going back in, then!
Good luck~!
Sayaka-chan really is amazing…
Hm… I should be more expressive with my fingers, huh… I'm not appealing to the audience enough here, either…
And also…
This jump here is pretty unnecessary… Force of habit from all the dancing practice. I should be more careful.
I should also take my time… just like I should take my time with these sweet potatoes.
Alright, that sounds good to me.
Just like Kaho-san said earlier, I should be careful not to overexert myself. I have a more flexible schedule starting today, so…
I guess I'll just have to keep doing my best.
…Sis?
