AKI: "Oh! Great job, Shioriko. I'm glad to see the School Tour ended without a hitch. Your hard work really paid off."
SHIORIKO: "No, I must give you credit for at least half of this. Allow me to thank you once again, Suzuki."
AKI: "D-Don't mention it. Today's success was due to the fact that you changed your ways. You believed in all of us students.
By the way... What did you think of Ayu's live show? Is it okay to assume you really enjoyed it since you were leaning so far forward that people almost saw you?"
SHIORIKO: "Yes. It seems as though some people gained an interest in this school after watching Uehara's performance, so I believe it was indeed a success.
Perhaps she... No, all of the club members have a mysterious power that draws people in.
From now on, I will no longer outright refuse live performances at school events, though I will still scrutinize the details. Do not forget your duty as students, however."
AKI: "Shioriko..."
SHIORIKO: "Now then, if you will excuse me."
AKI: "Okay..."
Huh?!
SHIORIKO: "It is presumptuous of me to even compare myself to them, but this is nothing if you consider how strict top tier school idols are. Like μ's, Aqours and A-RISE.
They never allow themselves to give in and always put forth their best effort."
I...
SHIORIKO: "...H-He broke it."
I can't...
AYUMU: "I was captivated by how beautiful your dance movements are. I feel like I can dance in the same beautiful way when I have lessons with you. So..."
I...
AI: "Whooooa! Don't Ayumu's dance moves seen more elegant than usual to you?!"
I...
SHIORIKO: *Chuckle* "If I finish early, I will meet you there."
AKI: "WAIT A SECOND."
SHIORIKO: "What is it?"
I can't... I can't... I-I MUST!!!
AKI: "Join us."
SHIORIKO: "Wha?!"
AKI: "It didn't seem like you actually hated school idols when I watched you at practice. Didn't you have fun singing and dancing with everyone?"
SHIORIKO: "..."
AKI: "Whilst you have offered me a place in the Student Council... Allow me to counter with offering you a place in the School Idol Club!"
SHIORIKO: "I can't...believe what I an hearing. You would actually offer me a place in your club after I tried to disband it?"
AKI: *Sigh* "Yes."
SHIORIKO: "What even makes you think that I'm cut out to be a school idol, anyway?"
AKI: "...Your smile."
SHIORIKO: "Wh-What?!"
AKI: "Your smile. Ever since I met you I had never seen you smile. But when we buried the hatchet, I saw you smile. It painted a whole new picture of you. Your smile is the cutest I've seen and you should use it to be a school idol!"
SHIORIKO: "I bet you say that to everyone. But I'm not that easily swayed, Suzuki."
AKI: "I'm being serious."
SHIORIKO: "You...don't look like you're lying, to say something so unexpected."
AKI: "Then what do you say? I leave the decision to you."
SHIORIKO: "While I appreciate the invitation, I must refuse. I do not think I am suited to being a school idol. I am suited to and love being the Student Council President. I will focus on that."
AKI: "Very well, I cannot force you. I respect your choice..."
SHIORIKO: "Now then, I will excuse myself."
*Sigh* I tried...
AYUMU: "She turned you down, huh?"
AKI: "WHAAAA?! WERE YOU GIRLS THERE THE WHOLE TIME?!"
KASUMI: "Honestly. We were shocked that you suddenly invited her without consulting any of us!"
AKI: "I'm finding it hard to believe that I did that, myself."
AI: "Come on, it totally makes sense you invited her, given how everything went. Her first impression was pretty rotten, but Shio-ti's actually pretty fun."
KASUMI: "I mean, it's not like I was against it or anything."
EMMA: "She always practiced her heart out, and I was surprised at how quickly she memorized the dance moves."
KANATA: "I heard she even dropped by the clubroom yesterday to cheer Ayumu on, right? I can't Shiorikommend her enough after seeing how nice she can be."
AI: "Bahaha! Shiorikommend! Nice on, Kana!"
KANATA: *Chuckle*
SETSUNA: "However, she still declined."
SHIZUKU: "Yes, but she did not seem unimpressed upon receiving the invitation. She actually seemed happy."
RINA: "Have Shioriko's misunderstandings about school idols been resolved?"
KARIN: "Maybe. She even brought up performing live shows at school events."
AKI: ".......?! Repeat that."
KARIN: "Hm?"
AKI: "Repeat that!"
KARIN: "She'll let us perform live shows at school events?"
AKI: "OHHHH MYYY GOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!"
AYUMU: "Wh-What is it?!"
KANATA: "Wow, it just hit me as well."
AI: "And me! If we can perform at school festivals and other events, that means... You're thinking what I'm thinking, right?!"
KASUMI: "We can finally perform live shows at school!"
AKI: "Bigger..."
KASUMI: "Oh, Shioriko will finally leave our club alone right? We did it! We saved the club!"
AKI: "THINK BIGGER!"
KASUMI: "...Oh my."
AKI: "Come on, let's go break the news to the others. But before that... She's been standing there the whole time, hasn't she?"
YU: "Ahhh, they're all so cute! So cool!"
AKI: "I see you over there, Yu. Nice try but your hiding won't work on me."
YU: "Really? Ohhhh, but I thought there was no way you could see me!"
AKI: *Sigh* "It can't be helped... Wanna come with us back to the clubroom?"
YU: "Can I?!"
AKI: "Sure, just make sure you keep your composure around muse and Aqours."
YU: "G-Got it!"
