Alright, where to next?
I got my hands on what I wanted, so I'm good with pretty much anywhere.

Haruka
I just get the feeling that you can only come up with certain ideas when you're doing stuff like this, you know?
Airi
Yeah, I agree. No more brainstorming!
Let's just be regular high schoolers and have fun!

Don't worry about it. I haven't been.
Besides, life is more interesting when you add a little spice to it.

It seemed like you had quite a bit on your mind today, Shizuku. If there's anything bothering you, I'd be happy to help...

Shizuku
Yes, I have. You've been working so hard with everything from lessons, practices, making videos and even greeting your fans...
Shizuku
That's why I wanted us all to go out together today. It was so that you would have some time to relax.
Haruka
Things do get tough sometimes, but I do take breaks when I need to. Today was actually a lot of fun too.
Shizuku
You put your fans first, look after your group and keep doing everything in your power for everyone.
Shizuku
But I want you to take good care of yourself too, Haruka. I honestly think that you were still looking out for everyone else too much today...

It's great that you're investing this much time into being an idol, but it's important to give yourself some time to relax too.
Haruka
(Going in this direction should work for now, but we also may want to start thinking about more long-term solutions soon...)
Haruka
(More people have begun commenting during our livestreams and it is pretty apparent that they'd like to see us try new things.)
Haruka
But that probably doesn't actually count as relaxing, does it? I think I convinced myself somewhere along the way that fitness works as a substitute for rest.
Haruka
My life's revolved around being an idol for so long that it almost feels foreign to me...
Shizuku
Um... What if you stopped some of the things that you usually do and just try to have fun instead...?
Haruka
But I feel like I am having fun and finding fulfillment in running each morning or staying up late thinking of ideas for our stream.
Haruka
It is a little hard sometimes, but I'm not sure if I was pushing myself too hard...
Shizuku
(This is what she truly loves doing. That's why she's never felt any stress all this time, no matter what happened...)
Shizuku
(Me being such a worrywart and wanting her to relax more may not be quite what she wants...)
Shizuku
(But I am certain that working this hard has its consequences, even if it's her we're talking about...)
Shizuku
I apologize for assuming that you were doing too much or pushing yourself too hard.
Shizuku
But you've also been looking after the rest of us and not just yourself. I'm sure that hasn't been easy either.
Shizuku
That's why I'd like you to talk to us and rely on us more when things do get tough for you...
Shizuku
We may not be able to do that just yet, but we as a group want to be able to support you too, Haruka. As MORE MORE JUMP!

Haruka
But I'm still not exactly sure what I'm supposed to do. I've never really had the chance to do this...
Haruka
What I considered as my breaks were filled with brainstorming, training or trying something out...
Shizuku
Well, as long as it's something you really want to do, Haruka, I'll gladly join you.
Shizuku
Anything you like.
Something or somewhere that just lets you relax and enjoy yourself. I believe that's the answer.
