1

Airi

Listen

Alright, we'll be heading back for today.
2

Shizuku

Listen

Thank you all very much for your help.
3

Rin

Listen

Hehe. You're welcome♪
4

Airi

Listen

You especially, KAITO...
5

Airi

Listen

I really appreciate what you said. You helped me make a profound realization!
Anyway, see you later!
6

KAITO

Listen

Okay, see you!
7

KAITO

Thank goodness I was able to help somewhat...
8

MEIKO

Listen

Somewhat? You give yourself far too little credit.
9

Luka

Listen

She's right. Airi seemed so happy just now.
10

Miku

Listen

Hehe. Nice work, KAITO♪
11

KAITO

Listen

Huh? No, I just...
I feel a little embarrassed now...
12

KAITO

Still... Airi's such a kind person.
She really wants what's best for Minori and has been showing so much concern for her...
13

Rin

Yeah.

14

Rin

Listen

So, how are things between you, Ayumi and the others now...?
15

Airi

Listen

We're still friends.
We still greet each other when we pass by in the corridor and stuff.
16

Airi

Listen

But I don't really get messages from her anymore. We haven't spoken in so long...
17

Airi

Listen

I don't think there's anything I could've done about all that. At the same time, it still hurts to think about it...
18

Airi

Listen

It's why I'm afraid that Minori's also going to start drifting away from her friends...
19

Airi

Listen

Of course, I'm not saying that's the only possible outcome. I mean, I still hang out with some of my friends from junior high...
20

Airi

Listen

It's just... I can't help but feel worried...
21

Rin

Listen

Airi didn't seem sure about saying what she did, but I think it's okay for her...
22

Len

Listen

Me too...
23

KAITO

Listen

She went through something very painful and doesn't want Minori to experience the same thing...
24

Rin

Yeah! That's why it's important for her to say how she feels in this situation!
25

Rin

Listen

I mean, it's a really big decision! Isn't it better to have someone there to help instead of having to think about it all alone?
26

Miku

What do you think Airi's going to do...?
27

Luka

That's entirely up to her.
28

Luka

Listen

But she's back to being her usual cheerful self thanks to KAITO here, so I'm sure she'll figure this out♪
29

KAITO

I really don't deserve so much credit...
30

MEIKO

Oh? KAITO, your face is still red.
31

Everyone

Hehe.
Haha.
32

Miku

Listen

I hope Airi and that Ayumi girl can go back to chatting like old friends...
33

KAITO

Listen

It sounded like they had a misunderstanding and were just trying to give each other some space out of the kindness of their hearts...
34

KAITO

So a slight nudge in the right direction may be all that they need...
35

MEIKO

Listen

A slight nudge...
36

Luka

Hehe. What if they both went to the library to look for a book, reached for it at the same time and grazed each others' hands?
37

Len

That sounds like the start of something else...
38

KAITO

Listen

Haha...
Seeing each other in the corridor may do just fine.
39

MEIKO

In any case, I'm sure Airi will figure things out.
40

MEIKO

Listen

I mean, she has friends she can count on for help whenever♪

41

KAITO

Very true.
42

KAITO

Listen

The owners of the feelings that gave birth to this SEKAI are such wonderful people...
43

Rin

Listen

Oh, KAITO. You're just realizing this now? The rest of us have known that forever♪
44

Miku

They're each doing everything they can as idols so that they can spread hope to lots and lots of people.
45

KAITO

Yes. Because they all believe in the same thing, they've forged this incredibly powerful bond.
46

KAITO

Listen

*Sigh*
They really are incredible idols...!
47

Everyone

Yeah!
Yes.
48

KAITO

(Not only are we fellow idols, we're also big fans...)
49

KAITO

Listen

(We'll always be there by your side.)
50

KAITO

(So, Airi, I wish you the best.)
