1

Honami

Listen

We'll start our discussion regarding the choir recital now.
2

Classmate A

What's the point in discussing things when some people lack any motivation anyways?
3

Classmate B

How about we vote again? I'm sure most of us just want to get this over with already.
4

Classmates

Yeah, just pick something already...
5

Emu

Listen

Oh no... This is getting bad...!
6

Honami

Listen

Everyone, please settle down.
7

Classmate A

Huh?
8

Classmate B

Um...
9

Emu

Listen

Honami?
10

Honami

Listen

I want to say something before we begin.
11

Honami

Listen

I...
12

Honami

Listen

...
13

Honami

Listen

(Oh no, my voice is starting to shake...)
14

Honami

Listen

(I'm so scared... I can't stop thinking about how everyone will turn on me after this.)
15

Honami

Listen

(But...)

16

Honami

Listen

(I'm confident that this is the best thing I can do for everyone right now.)
17

Honami

Listen

I...

18

Honami

Listen

I want you all to take part in the way that's best for you.
19

Honami

Listen

But I also know it's not going to be easy to make everyone happy.
20

Honami

Listen

Because what's personally important to you may not be that important to someone else.
21

Honami

Listen

The more we talk, the more arguments there will be. Some may be left unhappy and frustrated.
22

Honami

Listen

But...
23

Honami

Listen

I still hope that we can discuss this seriously and find a way to participate in the recital that will personally satisfy each of you.
24

Honami

Listen

I'd like you all to listen to those who may not share your views and think about what you can say and do to accommodate them.
25

Honami

Listen

I'll be doing everything to help this process along.
So please, give me your support too.
26

Honami

Listen

Thank you!
27

Classmate A

...
28

Classmate B

...
29

Honami

Listen

(I hope I've gotten through to them...!)
30

Classmate B

Well, if you say it like that, I guess compromising isn't out of the question.
31

Honami

Listen

Huh?!
32

Emu

Listen

I agree with Honami!

33

Emu

Listen

I wanna see all of you with big smiles on your faces♪ So let's talk about how to make this fun for everyone!
34

Classmate A

Yeah, you're right...
I do want us all to have fun too.
35

Classmates

And we shouldn't sour the mood in class just over a song.
36

Classmates

Yeah, if we're gonna do this, I'd rather do it properly!
37

Honami

Listen

Everyone is...
38

Emu

Listen

So let's all think about what song to pick again!
39

Classmate A

But a difficult song definitely means we'll have to spend more time practicing, right?
40

Honami

Listen

Oh, I asked our music teacher about that.
41

Honami

Listen

They said that our class already has some good singers, so if we appoint them as section leaders, we'll be able to practice more efficiently.
42

Classmate A

Ah, okay. And that should shorten the time we need for practice.
43

Classmates

How about we record our practice sessions so everyone can listen to them?
44

Classmates

What about those who are too busy to go to every practice?
45

Honami

Listen

We should be fine in terms of practice time.
46

Honami

Listen

Emu helped me find out when everyone in class is free after school and it looks like we can put together a suitable schedule.
47

Emu

Listen

Hehe!
48

Classmates

Oh, so that's what that survey was for...!
49

Classmates

I don't know though... Is everyone really gonna be able to stick to that schedule?
50

Honami

Listen

It will be hard for some to come to practice every day, which is why I want to make it okay to go just a few times each week.
51

Classmate B

Okay... That doesn't seem so bad then.
52

Emu

Listen

Wowowee, Honami!
You're sooo clever!
53

Honami

Listen

Not at all. It's not like I came up with this all by myself either.
54

Honami

Listen

(It's because I opened up to everyone about this...)
55

Honami

Listen

It's a little difficult, but let's go with Smile Tomorrow Too as our song. And I'll be adjusting the practice schedule for everyone, if that's okay?
56

Emu

Listen

Yes, I'm in!
57

Classmate A

Same.
58

Classmate B

Okay.
59

Classmate A

And... I'm sorry for accusing you of not being motivated. I know cram school's really tough too...
60

Classmate B

And I'm sorry too for being such a wet blanket. I was frustrated because my grades slipped a little.
61

Emu

Listen

Hehe♪
This is awesome, isn't it, Honami?!
62

Honami

Listen

It is...!
63

Honami

Listen

It won't be easy, but I know we can do this together!
