1

Haruka

Morning, everyone.
You all seem to be enjoying yourselves this morning.

2

Emu

Haruka! Minori!
Good wonderhoy!!!

3

Ichika

Do neither of you have work today?

4

Haruka

Yeah.
We have today and tomorrow off.

5

Honami

Oh, by the way, which classes are you...

6

Minori

Ah, thank you for asking!

7

Saki

Huh?

8

Minori

I, Minori Hanasato, have finally fulfilled my dream of...!

9

Minori

Being in the same class as Haruka!
It's finally happened!!!

10

Shiho

I mean, that shouldn't come as much of a surprise since the credit-based course doesn't have that many people in it...

11

Minori

No, but...!
You don't get it, Shiho!
Being in the same class as Haruka means...

12

Minori

Being in the same classroom, breathing the same air and seeing what she's like during classes...!

13

Minori

I... I get to live the dream as a student! This is nothing short of a miracle! And I'm putting that lightly...!

14

Shiho

Oh, now I see...

15

Emu

You must be feeling so wonderhoy, Minori!

16

Ichika

It's the Minori we're used to hearing.

17

Haruka

But I am glad that we didn't get separated, Minori. This should definitely make things easier whenever we have to miss class and stuff.

18

Haruka

More importantly, I'm happy that you'll be there with me.

19

Minori

H-Haruka...!
No, your aura's blinding...!

20

Shiho

This is turning into some sort of weird new skit...

21

Minori

*Sob*
Sorry, I didn't mean to get carried away. I'm just so happy...

22

Minori

But I'm okay now!
I'm going to do my absolute best as Minori Hanasato the idol moving forward!

23

Minori

I, Minori Hanasato, am now a second-year in the credit-based course!

24

Minori

I'm going to work lots and lots for MORE MORE JUMP! I know that things might be tougher than before...

25

Minori

But I'm gonna keep doing what I can to spread hope to others!

26

Saki

You can do it, Minori!

27

Teacher

Everyone!
Let's start heading over to the gym!

28

Ichika

Oh, the opening ceremony's about to start.

29

Minori

Oh no, I wanted to go early since the entrance to the gym's gonna be super crowded right before the start time...!

30

Haruka

Hehe, we got really engrossed in our conversation. Let's start heading over, shall we?

31

Minori

Yeah!

32

Honami

Then, let's head back to our classroom for a second. Kohane should be back by now.

33

Ichika

Right.
See you all later!

Outside the Gym

34

Mafuyu

So, you're both in the same class again, Hinomori, Momoi?

35

Shizuku

Yes, we are!

36

Airi

To be fair, we had a pretty good feeling that we would be. We just can't get rid of each other no matter how hard we try.

37

Airi

You're in Class B, right, Asahina?

38

Mafuyu

Me? Yes.
But how did you know?

39

Airi

Hehe. Because your name's always towards the top. It's hard not to see it!

40

Mafuyu

Oh, I see. That makes sense.

41

Shizuku

Still...
We're all in our final year now.

42

Airi

Yeah...
It feels kinda weird to think we'll all have graduated in one year's time.

43

Airi

But we can't be getting lost in thought.
Minori and Haruka showed us their commitment by going credit-based, so we gotta keep doing our best and show them how it's done.

44

Shizuku

Right.
We need to do what we can as their seniors in the credit-based course.

45

Mafuyu

You sound very motivated.
I'll need to do what I can to keep up with you two.

46

Shizuku

Thank you, Asahina.

47

Shizuku

Oh, while we're on the subject...
Would you mind telling us about your goals?

48

Mafuyu

Huh? My goals?

49

Mafuyu

Well...

50

Mafuyu

Sorry, I didn't mean to spend so much time thinking.

51

Mafuyu

A lot happened recently and...
I haven't had a chance to plan for the future.

52

Shizuku

Oh, I see...

53

Shizuku

If you're ever in need of help, please feel free to let us know...

54

Shizuku

I don't know how much I can do for you, but shooting at the archery range together should help clear your mind...

55

Airi

Yeah!
We could even go out for some Japanese sweets like we did in Kyoto!

56

Mafuyu

Oh...

57

Mafuyu

Thank you...

58

???

Shizuku, Airi, Asahina! Good morning!

59

Shizuku

Huh?

60

Airi

Hey, good morning!
It's rare to see you all together.

61

Shizuku

Are you all in the same class?

62

Kohane

Yes.
We're all in Class A.

63

Mafuyu

Class A...?

64

Mafuyu

Please try to be careful with the door to the broom closet. It doesn't fit in the frame right and someone got hurt last year trying to open it...

65

Ichika

That happened...?!
Thank you very much for letting us know, Asahina.

66

Mafuyu

You're welcome.

67

Airi

I get why you're being so formal with her, but don't forget the new kids are gonna be looking up to you guys too.

68

Ichika

Oh, now that you mention it...

69

Shizuku

I'm sure you'll all become wonderful role models.

70

Shizuku

At the same time, please feel free to ask us if you ever find yourselves in trouble. I'd like to do my best as well, as your senior.

71

Ichika

Thank you very much.
I feel a lot better knowing that you'll be there for us.

Honami
