The weather's so wonderhoy today!
Honami
Good morning, Emu!
Emu
Wow! You look so cheerful today!
Honami
Yes. I think I figured out what I need to do.
Honami
I'm not sure if this will actually solve things but...
Honami
I've been thinking about what I can do to help everyone in class enjoy the choir recital.
Emu
That's great!
Emu
Hey, so is there anything I can do to help at all?
Honami
Huh? You want to help?
Emu
Sure I do! I'm happiest when everyone has a bright smile on their face after all☆
Honami
Hehe, thank you. I'd feel a lot better with you helping out.
Honami
Well...here's something you can help with. I'd like you to do a survey of the class.
Emu
Sure thing! You can count on me☆
After school
Honami
(Okay, Emu helped collect all the surveys...)
Honami
(Now, we just have to decide on our song...)
Honami
...
MEIKO
But sometimes, you need the courage to become even kinder. And I'm sure you'll find that courage.
MEIKO
What do you think it means to be kind, Honami?
Honami
I want to...
School SEKAI
Honami
Phew...
Saki
That was awesome, Hona!
Honami
Huh?
Ichika
That felt a lot better than usual.
I was really able to sing like I meant it.
I was really able to sing like I meant it.
Honami
Y-You think so?
Shiho
Yes. And you're starting to sound like her too.
Shiho
Like MEIKO's drumming, that is.
Honami
Oh...
Shiho
The drum is the foundation that supports the band. It has the power to draw out the entire band's potential.
Shiho
Thanks to MEIKO's drumming, Miku and Luka are able to go all out and play to their heart's content.
Ichika
Is this about the drummer being the foundation of the band?
Saki
No wonder! That means Hona's drumming let us play our parts to the fullest too!
Shiho
Your sense of rhythm needs work.
And you're still not at MEIKO's level...
And you're still not at MEIKO's level...
Shiho
But you've gotten a lot better than before.
Honami
Thank you, Shiho.
Honami
Maybe it's because I felt so much better after speaking with all of you the other day about what happened in my class.
Ichika
Do you think your class will be all good for the recital now?
Honami
I don't know yet, but all of my preparations are in place.
Honami
We just need to decide on a song now.
Shiho
And that won't be a problem...?
Honami
Honestly... I'm a little scared...
Honami
But it's something I have to decide on, so I'm going to do everything I can.
Shiho
I see...
Saki
Don't worry, Hona! I mean, you have us!
Ichika
I know.
Ichika
No matter what happens, we're here for you. We know how much effort you're putting in for the class.
Honami
Got it! Thank you!
MEIKO
Looks like she's fine now.
Miku
I think so too...
But...
But...
MEIKO
What is it, Miku? Are you pouting?
Miku
N-No, I'm not.
Luka
I'm sure it's because you helped Honami before she could.
Luka
Miku was thinking long and hard yesterday about what to say to Honami so...
Miku
Y-Yes, but that doesn't mean I was pouting about it! I'm just glad to see that Honami's okay now.
Miku
I guess, I just wanted to help her like someone in my position should that's all...
MEIKO
Haha. You're already a good role model, Miku.
MEIKO
Everyone here really is as kind as can be.
