SHIORIKO: "Actually, there is the matter of my song I would also like to discuss with you, Akihiko."
AKI: "Do you have a better idea of the song you want to sing now? Don't hesitate to ask me if I can help out in any way."
SHIORIKO: "Thanks to everyone's help, I did get inspired."
AKI: "Really? That's good."
SHIORIKO: "I am sorry to trouble you."
AKI: "It's no trouble at all. I'd do anything for you, Shioriko."
SHIORIKO: "You are always saving me from my problems."
AKI: "What is your song like?"
SHIORIKO: "First, I realized that I must not be pretentious when expressing my true feelings."
AKI: "Exactly. You've come a long way with learning that, Shioriko."
SHIORIKO: "I realized that fact when all of you gave me those resources to help me.
I understand the joy that comes from expressing feelings plainly, the way you all did when you showed me what kind of impression you get from me.
So I decided to start by being honest and expressing who I am in a straightforward manner."
AKI: "I think that's an excellent answer to arrive at, Shioriko."
SHIORIKO: "Thank you. However... I still don't have a dream I want to achieve by becoming a school idol.
I have a vague sense that I want to make the world a better place, but I still need to work out what to do and how to do it as a school idol.
For that reason, writing a song and singing it feels so..."
AKI: "Scary?"
SHIORIKO: "Yes... I am scared. And worried. But I think there must be others who feel like I do, with vague goals that cause worry and a sense of urgency."
AKI: "Yeah."
SHIORIKO: "Therefore, I would like to sing a song that tells people that it's all right to be worried and to not have any answers. I want to be able to support others.
I have the feeling that it may be a song that I can only sing as I am right now."
AKI: "..."
SHIORIKO: "Um... So what do you think? Is it fine for me to sing a song about not having strong beliefs, and about feeling that worry together?"
AKI: "Of course it's fine! I think that's a great idea!"
SHIORIKO: "Thank goodness. I am so relieved to hear you say that."
AKI: "With your lyrics and my composition, let's make a wonderful song together, Shioriko."
SHIORIKO: "Yes! I can always count on you, Akihiko.
Oh! I see clearly on this day, what direction to take with the first of my song entries to the school idol industry, let's go announce that to the others!"
AKI: "Everyone has been wondering about it. I think they'll be happy."
SHIORIKO: "I have caused them so much worry, too..."
AKI: "It's fine, they've been preoccupied by their own solo live shows."
SHIORIKO: "While that may be true, I want to reassure them that I'm fine now."
AKI: "I'm sure they'll be happy to hear that."
*RIIIING*
AKI: "Oh? 'I've finally created a story that I want to show my fan club. Please meet me on the roof at the start of lunch.' Wow, looks like Shizuku is almost ready for her live show."
SHIORIKO: "Then I must not fall behind. I will get to work on those lyrics right away."
AKI: "Good luck!"
