AYUMU: "Hey, Shioriko? You should join us on stage. Sing along with us!"
SHIORIKO: "What?! Why would you spring such a suggestion on me like that?!"
AYUMU: "I really do want to perform with you, Shioriko!"
SHIORIKO: "Uehara... D-Don't be ridiculous. Hurry up and get out there to see the fans before they change their minds about volunteering..."
AYUMU: "I'm not being ridiculous. Come on, join us!"
SHIORIKO: "That is far easier said than done..."
KASUMI: "Oh, come on! Shioko, join us!"
AI: "Yeah! Don't pull the, 'I've forgotten all the practice I did with you all' card! That's not gonna fly with me!"
EMMA: "She's right! And we were only able to make it this far with your help, Shioriko! Let us introduce you to everyone!"
KARIN: "You heard Emma. We couldn't possibly end the event without introducing everyone to the person who helped us out so much."
KANATA: "Uh-huh. If Ayumu didn't already suggest it, I would've asked you to join us, too."
SHIORIKO: "I cannot do it! I-I'm only here to help manage the event. I'm not someone who should step out into the spotlight. For obvious reasons..."
AYUMU: "School idol live shows are only made possible by everyone involved. There's no difference between who's behind-the-scenes or on stage.
I'm sure you remember the whole dance routine because you practiced it with us, right?"
SHIORIKO: "Yes, I do, but I..."
AYUMU: "You want to bring smiles to everyone's faces, don't you?"
SHIORIKO: "Yes."
AYUMU: "Then let's take to the stage together and make everyone smile!"
SHIORIKO: "But I'm not suited to doing that."
AYUMU: "It's not about being suited to it or not, Shioriko!"
SHIORIKO: "Uehara?!"
AYUMU: "What's important is whether you want to do it or not. If you have the desire to be a school idol, then lying to yourself will only cause you pain.
That's what you taught me, right? So let's get out there together! Fulfill your desires and dreams together with us!"
SHIORIKO: "But..."
AKI: "Shioriko. If you have even the faintest desire to perform with them, then get out there on the stage.
Try to tap into that feeling right now."
SHIORIKO: "That feeling?"
AKI: "You can feel it can't you?"
SHIORIKO: *Sigh* "I knew this already, but you all are being far too forceful."
AKI: "Like I said back then, I won't force you to join us."
SHIORIKO: "However, I must thank you. The feelings you and my sister have recognized within me... I will try to trust them."
AKI: "So, what do you say?"
SHIORIKO: "I want to give it a shot! I want to stand on stage with everyone too!
Please let me join the School Idol Club!"
AKI: "HELL YEAH!"
AYUMU: "That's what I was waiting to hear from you!"
CHIKA: "Being a school idol is lots of fun, so you won't be able to quit once you get into it! You better be ready for that."
YOU: "Whoa, hey now! Don't go trying to scare her from the get-go!"
UMI: "I see that Nijigasaki has gained yet another promising school idol."
NICO: "I mean, I'm sure you're no match for me, though."
MAKI: "Really? With her on their side, Nijigasaki might just give you a run for your money."
NICO: "Hey! What are you saying?!"
EVERYONE: *Laugh*
NICO: "Don't laugh! µ's will never taste defeat!"
HONOKA: "All right! Let's go, Shioriko!"
SHIORIKO: "Okay!"
AKI: "We got an encore to give these fans. This will send the message loud and clear of what to expect at the School Idol Festival!
µ's? Are you all ready?!"
µ's: "Absolutely!"
AKI: "I'm expecting an amazing performance from you, too, Aqours!"
AQOURS: "Just wait and see!"
AKI: "Nijigasaki, have a blast out there... All TEN of you!"
NIJIGASAKI: "For sure!"
AKI: "Let the ten colored rainbow bloom, let the sun shine and let the music start!"
EVERYONE: "Yeah!"
AKI: "OKAY, IT'S A GO!! GO! GO! GO! GO! GO!"
