Kamiyama High School - Class 2-A
Teacher
Let's see...
I think that's everything I needed to tell you all today... Umm...
I think that's everything I needed to tell you all today... Umm...
Teacher
But I feel like I'm forgetting something.
What was it...?
What was it...?
Student
Please remember!
Nene
(Our class's homerooms are never very focused.)
Nene
(But I've gotten used to things, and things have been pretty fun, so I don't mind.)
Nene
(In terms of time, we should be done soon.)
Nene
(I'm free after this today since we don't have practice...)
Nene
(But I want to work on my singing, so I should head straight home.)
Nene
(Especially since we get to train with THE Morinomiya Revue next.)
Nene
(It's going to be a golden opportunity to grow, so I need to make sure I'm ready.)
Nene
(I'm a little worried, since they're a storied troupe that runs really tough practices...)
Nene
(But I need to make the most of these sorts of opportunities right now.)
Teacher
Yes, I remember!
I was forgetting something.
I was forgetting something.
Nene
Hm...?
Teacher
Ahem... The city will be holding a new event this year centering around its local students.
An
A new event...?
Can you tell us more about it?
Can you tell us more about it?
Teacher
Its official title is the “Shibuya City High Schools Joint Festival”.
Teacher
Put simply, it's an attempt to get all the high schools in Shibuya to put on a festival together.
Akito
All the high schools in Shibuya...? They're thinking pretty big.
Teacher
The details are still getting hashed out, but it should involve collaborating with students from the other schools to put on stage performances, as well as making or researching things to present at booths.
An
Hey, that sounds like fun!
Student
What kinds of performances? Like dancing and stuff?
Teacher
From what I understand, the students are free to decide that for themselves.
Nene
Really...?
Nene
(It sounds like it'll be pretty freewheeling.
This could be a fun festival.)
This could be a fun festival.)
Teacher
Now, here's where you all need to listen.
Teacher
Each school is being asked to send a few students to serve on the planning committee.
Akito
The planning committee?
Teacher
Yes. Since the goal is to have students from different schools in Shibuya interact, they want the students to plan and run everything.
Teacher
So, if you're interested, please feel free to volunteer. I also plan on asking a few of you after this.
Teacher
Anyway, that concludes today's homeroom. Get home safe, everyone.
Student
It sounds like a fun festival...
But Shibuya City High Schools Joint Festival's a mouthful. What if we called it “Shibu Schools Fest”?!

Student
I'm actually thinking about volunteering!
Student
Then, go say that you wanna!
Student
Huh? Actually, I dunno...
Maybe I should just participate normally instead...

Nene
(“Shibu Schools Fest”, huh? It does sound like a fun event....)
Nene
(It's also happening before we're supposed to start training with the Morinomiya Revue, so I might try to participate if I can fit it into my schedule.)
Teacher
Kusanagi, do you have a minute to talk?
Nene
Huh? Yes, I can talk...
Teacher
About the planning committee I just mentioned.
Teacher
Would you like to be a part of it?
Nene
What...?!
Nene
M-Me? Why...?
Are you sure?
Are you sure?
Teacher
Yes. Remember how good a job you did of leading everyone for the arts festival?
Teacher
Which is why the other teachers and I thought that you'd be the perfect person to ask.
Nene
Oh, right...
Nene
(The planning committee...
I am a little interested, but I still have my regular practice to think of...)

Nene
(Students from the other schools are going to be on it too, which means I'd be working with complete strangers.)
Nene
(I don't know if I'm ready to do that...)
Teacher
If you don't feel comfortable, then it's okay. I know this is very sudden.
Teacher
But if you're even the slightest bit interested, then I'd like you to take up this opportunity.
Nene
Oh...
Nene
(This opportunity...)
Nene
(But I need to make the most of these sorts of opportunities right now.)
Nene
(I just gave myself that pep talk, but now I'm acting all scared.)
Nene
(This is just like the arts festival...
It could be another opportunity for me to create something with lots of different people.)

Nene
(Then...)
Nene
Okay, I'll do it.
Teacher
Are you sure?
Nene
Yes. I am a little scared...
But if it means learning more about how shows are produced, then I'd like to do it!

Teacher
Thank you. I'll let the other teachers know. Also, feel free to ask if you need any help.
Nene
Thank you, I will!
Nene
Phew...
Nene
(Alright...!)
Nene
(Now that I've made my commitment, I need to do my best to make this event a good one...!)
