Saki

Listen

*Sigh*
All we did was have a talk at the office, but I feel really tired for some reason.
2

Ichika

Listen

A lot just happened, so I don't blame you.
3

Shiho

Listen

Yeah, a lot...
4

Honami

Listen

*Nod*
It all began with our aspirations...

Shindo

Listen

You wish to move people's hearts, cheer them up, bring them together... And do everything you can to make the above come true.
6

Shindo

Listen

While they all have their minor differences, your collective desire to move people's hearts remains unchanged, yes...?
7

Shindo

Listen

Understood. It suits you all very well.
8

Ichika

Listen

Then, we were asked to pick a leader.

Shindo

Listen

As pros, you'll surely be faced with a myriad of challenges and obstacles.
10

Shindo

Listen

Of course, if anything happens, I'll be there to help. I plan on doing what I can to keep you moving in the right direction.
11

Shindo

Listen

However, I'm also an employee of this record company. My job is to make your band and music as marketable as possible.
12

Shindo

Listen

In other words, the onus is on you to keep your band together...
13

Saki

Listen

Not only that, we got to meet the president of Solis Records, and he's going to hear us play!
14

Ichika

Listen

When we put it all together like this, so much happened so fast...
15

Shiho

Listen

Still, I'm really glad Honami volunteered to be our leader right then and there.
16

Shiho

Listen

You had a good look on your face then.
17

Honami

Listen

O-Oh, really...?
I'm starting to feel a little embarrassed.
18

Honami

Listen

Also, I was only able to raise my hand because all of you, including Mr. Shindo, encouraged me by saying that I'd do a good job.
19

Honami

Listen

Which is why I plan on doing everything I can for this band.
20

Ichika

Listen

Honami...
21

Saki

Listen

But that doesn't make you any less amazing! I mean, you've already done something really cool for us!
22

Ichika

Listen

Oh, are you talking about when she decided to have Mr. Ota hear us play?
23

Saki

Listen

Yeah!

24

Honami

Listen

We decided to go pro because we want as many people as possible to hear our music...
25

Honami

Listen

And if this is our chance to do that...then we accept.
26

Honami

Listen

That's okay with all of you, right...?
27

Saki

Listen

You didn't just ask if it was okay with us.
You asserted yourself like a real leader!
28

Shiho

Listen

Yeah, you sounded pretty confident about your decision as our leader that time.
29

Ichika

Listen

I agree. It was a good reminder of how amazing a person you really are, Honami.
30

Honami

Listen

N-No, I just...
31

Saki

Listen

What's this?
Is our fearless leader blushing?
32

Ichika

Listen

You're in for a scolding if you keep teasing our leader like that, Saki.
33

Shiho

Listen

Hear that? These two are apparently asking for it. What are you gonna do, leader?
34

Honami

Listen

Please, everyone...
35

Honami

Listen

If you don't stop, I'll have no choice but to make you all write letters of apology!
36

Saki

Listen

Letters of apology?
Aren't you supposed to be scolding us?
37

Honami

Listen

Okay, Saki, you'll be writing two for me.
38

Saki

Listen

Wait! This is really happening?!
39

Saki

Listen

No, Hona, I'm sorry!
Please just scold me like you would normally!
40

Shiho

Listen

Normally...?
41

Ichika & Honami

Listen

Haha.
Hehe.
