Saki

Listen

Let's see, the section for photo albums is... Oh, here it is!
2

Saki

Listen

This one's the kind where you glue in your photos... Oh, this one's the kind with pockets! They come in so many colors and shapes too!
3

Saki

Listen

Hmmm, which do I pick...?
This animal one is cute, and this one with the starry pattern...
4

Saki

Listen

Wait, huh? Over there, that's...

Saki

Listen

Haaaruuukaaa!
6

Haruka

Listen

Saki? What a coincidence.
7

Saki

Listen

It is! Are you shopping too, Haruka?
Wait, that thing you're holding...
8

Haruka

Listen

Hehe, I've been found out.
9

Haruka

Listen

Actually, I'm here looking at photo albums too. Seeing what you've been doing made me want to put one together myself.
10

Saki

Listen

You're making one too?
11

Haruka

Listen

Yeah. I've mentioned this before, but I was busy with work up through junior high, so it'd been a while since I enjoyed my school life like I have been lately...
12

Haruka

Listen

So I thought to myself that I'd like to make my memories of this year last, like you.
13

Saki

Listen

Oh...!
14

Saki

Listen

Then, let's show each other when they're finished!
15

Haruka

Listen

That sounds nice. I'd like to see your photo album too.
16

Haruka

Listen

Oh yeah, did you get that picture of us playing dodgeball from Ichika and the others? The one with you and me in it...
17

Saki

Listen

Oh, yeah I did!
From when we hit Emu, right?
18

Saki

Listen

The one where we're high-fiving and shouting, “Yay!”
19

Haruka

Listen

Yeah, that one. I got that from Ichika as well. I wanted to put it in my album.
20

Saki

Listen

I had no idea! Then, we'll be matching♪
21

Saki

Listen

Oh, but there might be other matching pictures!
Look, I have this picture from the Sports Festival, and some from when we went on the field trip too!
22

Haruka

Listen

Oh... You're right.
You've got pictures from the School Festival, and the ones we took with Minori and the others the other day too.
23

Haruka

Listen

Hehe. It just goes to show how many fun times I've had with you.
24

Saki

Listen

Oh...
25

Saki

Listen

Yeah! You're right!
26

Haruka

Listen

Thanks for giving me these wonderful memories, Saki...

Haruka

Listen

I'm really happy I got to be in the same class as you...and got to become your friend.
28

Saki

Listen

Haruka...
29

Saki

Listen

C'mon... The same goes for me!
30

Saki

Listen

Eating lunch with you, taking classes together, doing our best during all those school events, hanging out and having fun together...
31

Saki

Listen

All of that was suuuper fun, so...!
32

Saki

Listen

So... I'll treasure the memories I made with you, forever and always!
33

Haruka

Listen

Yeah... I will too.
34

Haruka

Listen

Just one more reason to work hard on our photo albums!
35

Saki

Listen

Yeah!

36

Saki

Listen

Alright!
I've got all the materials, so it's time to do my best making this album!
37

Saki

Listen

First, I've gotta choose which pictures to use!
If I add up all the ones on my phone, plus the ones I got from Shiho and the girls... Whoa, it looks like there's around five hundred!
38

Saki

Listen

With this many, it'll probably be pretty tough to pick out which I want to use... But I'll do my best!
39

Saki

Listen

Let's see, first I'll separate them by season... Oh!
40

Saki

Listen

I remember this one!
This is from when I went to PXL with Ichi and the girls! Tsukasa and his troupe showed us around...
41

Saki

Listen

Oh yeah! The haunted house was scarier than we expected, and Hona and I screamed a whole lot.
42

Saki

Listen

Oh... This is from the first time we performed at a live house!
43

Saki

Listen

There weren't many people in the audience, and I was super nervous, but we got to perform our own song, and I had a lot of fun...!
44

Saki

Listen

I've got all these pictures of our school events too...! The Seaside School, the School Festival...
45

Saki

Listen

I'd seen school festivals on dramas and stuff and always wanted to go to one, so I was really happy about it...
46

Saki

Listen

Both the event itself and the time we spent preparing for it all just screamed “youth”!
47

Saki

Listen

I've really been making the most of my youth...

48

Saki

Listen

(Back then, I always felt like I was gonna be left behind all on my own...)
49

Saki

Listen

(Everyone else would be doing all kinds of fun stuff like playing with their friends or going on the school trip... But I could never be part of that...)
50

Saki

Listen

(It felt like I was fading out of everyone's lives... And I was scared.)
51

Saki

Listen

(But now...)

Oh... You're right.
You've got pictures from the School Festival, and the ones we took with Minori and the others the other day too.

Haruka

Listen

Hehe. It just goes to show how many fun times I've had with you.
54

Saki

Listen

(I've been able to make lots of memories with everyone...)
55

Saki

Listen

(I'm also a part of everyone's memories...)
56

Saki

Listen

(I've made so many memories that I'm having trouble choosing between all these pictures... I'm so glad.)
57

Saki

Listen

(This is all thanks to everyone around me...)
58

Saki

Listen

(They offered to make more memories with me, and helped me with the list of things I wanted to do... That made me really happy.)
59

Saki

Listen

(I want to thank them all properly...)
60

Saki

Listen

But... How can I do that?

Saki

Oh...

Saki

Yeah! I just came up with something good♪
