Part 1
Stage SEKAI
Airi
Alright, we'll be heading back for today.
Shizuku
Thank you all very much for your help.
Rin
Hehe. You're welcome♪
Airi
You especially, KAITO...
Airi
I really appreciate what you said. You helped me make a profound realization!
Anyway, see you later!
Anyway, see you later!
KAITO
Okay, see you!
KAITO
Thank goodness I was able to help somewhat...
MEIKO
Somewhat? You give yourself far too little credit.
Luka
She's right. Airi seemed so happy just now.
Miku
Hehe. Nice work, KAITO♪
KAITO
Huh? No, I just...
I feel a little embarrassed now...
I feel a little embarrassed now...
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...

Rin
Yeah.
Rin
So, how are things between you, Ayumi and the others now...?
Airi
We're still friends.
We still greet each other when we pass by in the corridor and stuff.
We still greet each other when we pass by in the corridor and stuff.
Airi
But I don't really get messages from her anymore. We haven't spoken in so long...
Airi
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...
Airi
It's why I'm afraid that Minori's also going to start drifting away from her friends...
Airi
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...
Airi
It's just... I can't help but feel worried...
Rin
Airi didn't seem sure about saying what she did, but I think it's okay for her...
Len
Me too...
KAITO
She went through something very painful and doesn't want Minori to experience the same thing...
Rin
Yeah! That's why it's important for her to say how she feels in this situation!
Rin
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?
Miku
What do you think Airi's going to do...?
Luka
That's entirely up to her.
Luka
But she's back to being her usual cheerful self thanks to KAITO here, so I'm sure she'll figure this out♪
KAITO
I really don't deserve so much credit...
MEIKO
Oh? KAITO, your face is still red.
Everyone
Hehe.
Haha.
Haha.
Miku
I hope Airi and that Ayumi girl can go back to chatting like old friends...
KAITO
It sounded like they had a misunderstanding and were just trying to give each other some space out of the kindness of their hearts...
KAITO
So a slight nudge in the right direction may be all that they need...
MEIKO
A slight nudge...
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?
Len
That sounds like the start of something else...
KAITO
Haha...
Seeing each other in the corridor may do just fine.
Seeing each other in the corridor may do just fine.
MEIKO
In any case, I'm sure Airi will figure things out.
MEIKO
I mean, she has friends she can count on for help whenever♪
KAITO
Very true.
KAITO
The owners of the feelings that gave birth to this SEKAI are such wonderful people...
Rin
Oh, KAITO. You're just realizing this now? The rest of us have known that forever♪
Miku
They're each doing everything they can as idols so that they can spread hope to lots and lots of people.
KAITO
Yes. Because they all believe in the same thing, they've forged this incredibly powerful bond.
KAITO
*Sigh*
They really are incredible idols...!
They really are incredible idols...!
Everyone
Yeah!
Yes.
Yes.
KAITO
(Not only are we fellow idols, we're also big fans...)
KAITO
(We'll always be there by your side.)
KAITO
(So, Airi, I wish you the best.)
