Love Live!: ALL STARS [PART 3]

SIX - GRASP THAT FEELING:

KAORUKO: "You support school idols? *Giggle* Some things about you just never change, huh?"

SHIORIKO: "Never change?"

KAORUKO: "You're drawn to the charms of school idols, yet it never occurred to you to actually want to become one?"

SHIORIKO: "Well... I'm more suited to working behind the scenes, and I know that's something I can do a good job at.
I'm also not good at singing or dancing. So I don't think it's the right path for me to take."

KAORUKO: "And that's what never changes about you. You have a habit of trying to approach everything logically.
I'm not saying that thinking logically is a bad thing, but sometimes that makes you lose sight of what's important, trust me...I know."

SHIORIKO: "..."

KAORUKO: "Do school idols only have being good at singing and dancing going for them?
Isn't there something more about them that strikes your heart? Isn't that why you've changed how you think? Isn't there some kind of feeling that's budded within you?"

SHIORIKO: "Budded? A feeling?"

KAORUKO: "I'm sure everyone would feel at ease with you working behind the scenes, I can't deny that. And I know you'd be satisfied doing that yourself.
But think about it, Shioriko. Isn't there an opportunity for you to do something that excites you even more?"

SHIORIKO: "I know you're trying to get me to admit that I want to become a school idol, but I believe that I am lacking in far too many areas."

KAORUKO: "Lacking? Are you talking about your singing and dancing abilities?"

SHIORIKO: "No, um, how do I saw this? Everyone is very serious about being a school idol.
It is not merely that they love them, but they feel some kind of belief towards them."

KAORUKO: "Ahaha! Oh, Shioriko. You're always so serious! But I like what you said just now. Belief in school idols, huh?
You're right. I think school idols, just like µ's, Aqours, and even the Nijigasaki girls have that certain sense of belief that you're talking about.
And I think you have something like that, too."

SHIORIKO: "Me?! No way..."

KAORUKO: "I'm confident that no one can beat me when it comes to my love for school idols. That's why I can tell straight away when I see someone who feels the same way as me.
If you ask me, someone who talks about having beliefs in school idols isn't merely an admirer of them.
Working on the administrative side of things isn't bad, but there are things you can't obtain unless you're a school idol yourself. That's what you're yearning for.

SHIORIKO: "..."

KAORUKO: "At least, that's what I think. Anyway, just give it a little more thought. Think back to what you've learned from school idols."
