Airi
Alright, where to next?
I got my hands on what I wanted, so I'm good with pretty much anywhere.
2
Minori
Karaoke did it for me, so I'm okay with anything at this point too!
3
Haruka
I don't mind either as long as we can all enjoy ourselves... Any ideas, Shizuku...?
4
Shizuku
Um...
5
Shizuku
(I can't let it end just yet. Haruka hasn't been able to relax at all...)
6
Haruka
Shizuku?
7
Shizuku
Oh, uh... No, I'm not sure either... Shall we go for a little walk instead?
8
Haruka
Sure, that sounds nice.
We might even find something to do along the way.
9
Airi
You're trying to find new stream ideas, aren't you...?
10
Haruka
I just get the feeling that you can only come up with certain ideas when you're doing stuff like this, you know?
11
Minori
Yeah, that might be true...!
I'll help look for ideas too...!
12
Shizuku
But it's our day off...
I was hoping that we'd be able to have fun instead...
13
Airi
Yeah, I agree. No more brainstorming!
Let's just be regular high schoolers and have fun!
14
Haruka
Hehe. Okay.
15
Minori
Look! That accessory shop looks really cute!
Can we go in just for a little bit...?
16
Airi
Yeah, let's go. I kinda want to take a look too. What about you two?
17
Haruka
I'll wait here.
It looks pretty crowded inside.
18
Shizuku
I will too...
19
Airi
Okay.
We'll be right back!
20
Haruka
Hm...?
Is something wrong, Shizuku?
21
Shizuku
Oh, um...
22
Shizuku
It's just that I feel terrible about causing you so much trouble today...
23
Haruka
Don't worry about it. I haven't been.
Besides, life is more interesting when you add a little spice to it.
24
Shizuku
Haruka...
25
Haruka
But I am slightly concerned about something...
26
Shizuku
You are?
27
Haruka
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...
28
Shizuku
I, um... It's that...!
29
Shizuku
I've been thinking about you, Haruka...
30
Haruka
Wait, me?
31
Shizuku
Yes, I have. You've been working so hard with everything from lessons, practices, making videos and even greeting your fans...
32
Shizuku
I was so worried that you were pushing yourself too hard...
33
Shizuku
That's why I wanted us all to go out together today. It was so that you would have some time to relax.
34
Haruka
Shizuku...
35
Haruka
Thank you for being so thoughtful.
But I'm fine, really.
36
Haruka
Things do get tough sometimes, but I do take breaks when I need to. Today was actually a lot of fun too.
37
Haruka
So...
38
Shizuku
Yes, I already know.
You're really the perfect idol.
Back then and even now...
39
Shizuku
You put your fans first, look after your group and keep doing everything in your power for everyone.
40
Shizuku
But...
41
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...
42
Haruka
Take care of myself...?
43
MEIKO
But resting is just as important as practicing, okay?
44
MEIKO
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.
45
Haruka
Oh...
46
Haruka
(It's already 10:00 pm...
Practice did run a little late I guess...)
47
Haruka
(I need to finish up my homework, think of some ideas for our videos and...)
48
Haruka
(Going in this direction should work for now, but we also may want to start thinking about more long-term solutions soon...)
49
Haruka
(More people have begun commenting during our livestreams and it is pretty apparent that they'd like to see us try new things.)
50
Haruka
(But what should we do and how...?)
51
Haruka
Alright, let's come up with some new ideas. I still have a little bit of time...
52
Haruka
You're right...
53
Haruka
I may be doing too much without actually realizing it...
54
Shizuku
...!
55
Haruka
I stretch and take breaks to relieve myself of stress each day...
56
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.
57
Shizuku
So that means...
58
Haruka
I do want to relax...
But I'm not sure how...
59
Haruka
My life's revolved around being an idol for so long that it almost feels foreign to me...
60
Shizuku
What should we do...?
61
Shizuku
Um... What if you stopped some of the things that you usually do and just try to have fun instead...?
62
Haruka
The things I usually do...?
63
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.
64
Haruka
It is a little hard sometimes, but I'm not sure if I was pushing myself too hard...
65
Shizuku
Oh...
66
Shizuku
(Haruka was never putting on a face when it came to being “the perfect idol”...)
67
Shizuku
(This is what she truly loves doing. That's why she's never felt any stress all this time, no matter what happened...)
68
Shizuku
You really are amazing...
That's why you're the best of the best, Haruka.
69
Haruka
Huh...?
70
Shizuku
(Me being such a worrywart and wanting her to relax more may not be quite what she wants...)
71
Shizuku
(But I am certain that working this hard has its consequences, even if it's her we're talking about...)
72
Shizuku
(In that case...)
73
Haruka
Shizuku?
74
Shizuku
I'm sorry, Haruka.
75
Shizuku
You really are doing what you truly love and want to do, yes?
76
Shizuku
I apologize for assuming that you were doing too much or pushing yourself too hard.
77
Haruka
Shizuku...
78
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.
79
Shizuku
That's why I'd like you to talk to us and rely on us more when things do get tough for you...
80
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!
81
Shizuku
You don't have to keep thinking about us night and day.
82
Haruka
Shizuku...
83
Haruka
Maybe I don't have to...
84
Haruka
...
85
Shizuku
Haruka?
86
Haruka
No, you're right. I'll try to learn to relax more, Shizuku.
87
Shizuku
No trying! No learning!
Just rest and relax!
88
Haruka
Oh, right... I see...
89
Haruka
But I'm still not exactly sure what I'm supposed to do. I've never really had the chance to do this...
90
Haruka
What I considered as my breaks were filled with brainstorming, training or trying something out...
91
Shizuku
Yes, I see...
92
Haruka
What do you think I should do when I have time like this...?
93
Shizuku
Hmm...
94
Shizuku
Well, as long as it's something you really want to do, Haruka, I'll gladly join you.
95
Haruka
Huh...?
96
Shizuku
Anything you like.
Something or somewhere that just lets you relax and enjoy yourself. I believe that's the answer.
97
Haruka
Somewhere I can relax and enjoy myself...?
