A few days later - Closing ceremony
Kamiyama High School - Gym
Principal
Ahem, a very good morning, students.
Principal
You've all made it to today's closing ceremony through consistent diligence. However, over the break you must remember to keep safe, and...
Mizuki
*Yawn*
An
Hey, Mizuki!
Try and be a little more subtle!
Try and be a little more subtle!
Mizuki
C'mon, don't the principal's speeches make you sleepy when they drag on like this?
An
I get what you mean, but still...
An
Anyway, don't you feel a little sentimental knowing that it's our last day as first-years?
Mizuki
Hm... I guess I do?
An
*Sigh*
You don't at all, do you?
You don't at all, do you?
Principal
...and so, as part of your ongoing intellectual and physical development, I'd now like you all to take this opportunity to cast your minds back on the past year's events.
An
Oh...
An
(The past year...)
An
(I guess a lot did happen...)
An
(I was looking for a partner for so long. Someone to surpass RAD WEEKEND with...)
An
(I couldn't find anyone, but...)
An
(I found the best partner I could ask for. Someone who makes my heart race...)
An
(I met Miku and the others... I had some conflict with Toya and Akito at first, but then they became my amazing teammates.)
An
(And...)
An
(Now I know about Nagi's dream for us.)
An
(We're going to surpass RAD WEEKEND. I've never believed it so strongly.)
An
(And so... I'm going to keep moving forward with the others...!)
A few hours later
Class 1-A
Mizuki
Phew, we're all done!
It's a nice bonus to finish school at lunchtime.
It's a nice bonus to finish school at lunchtime.
An
Hahaha, I know what you mean.
An
But... I guess we'll never come back to this classroom again.
Mizuki
Oh, you're right.
When you put it like that, it's a little sad.
When you put it like that, it's a little sad.
Mizuki
But, put it this way!
That's only true because you escaped being held back a year!
That's only true because you escaped being held back a year!
An
H-Hey! You don't need to bring that up.
Mizuki
Hahaha! Still...
Mizuki
Thank you, An.
An
Hmm?
Mizuki
It was fun being your classmate!
Mizuki
We might be in different classes next year, so I figured I'd say it now.
An
Oh...
An
I had fun too! But you know...
An
Even if we aren't classmates next year, nothing's going to change. You'll still be my friend.
An
I'm looking forward to being your friend in second year, Mizuki!
Mizuki
Oh... Yeah.
Mizuki
I'm looking forward to it too, An!
Mizuki
Oh, by the way. Do you wanna get lunch after this?
Mizuki
I know it's last minute, but I suggested to Rui and the others that we have a little after-party to celebrate getting through the supplementary classes.
Mizuki
I know you're super busy, but if you're gonna eat lunch anyway...
An
Oh... I'm not sure...
I'd love to join you, but I have practice...
I'd love to join you, but I have practice...
An
Actually, no. I'll go with you.
Mizuki
Oh, are you sure it's okay?
An
Yeah. I might leave partway through to go to practice, so as long as that's fine!
Mizuki
Woohoo!
That's totally fine♪
That's totally fine♪
Mizuki
We agreed to meet at the gate, so let's head there together when you're ready!
An
Okay!
School Gate
Classmate A
See you, An, Akiyama!
Classmate B
Don't be strangers when we're second-years, okay?
An
Okay! See you two!
Mizuki
Where are Rui and the others...? Oh, there they are, in front of the gate!
Mizuki
I think we're last. Let's hurry up.
An
Oh... Okay!
An
Oh...
An
(The breeze...and the smell of the leaves...)
An
(The seasons keep on changing...)
An
(I'm going into a new school year with all sorts of challenges...)
An
(But I'll be okay. I'm surrounded by my friends.)
An
(Friends who chase dreams with me. And—)
Mizuki
Hey, An!
You coming or what?
You coming or what?
An
(And friends here at school.)
An
(I'm gonna keep them close...)
An
(And never stop pursuing my goals.)
An
Coming!
