Shizuku

Listen

Hmm... Maybe that moon viewing photo is in this album...?

Shizuku

Listen

Oh no, it's Shii's baby pictures.
She's so cute...!

Shizuku

Listen

And this must be from the Doll Festival. We used to not eat the rice puffs and use them as decorations because of their adorable designs.

Shizuku

Listen

Oh, this was when we still wore matching clothes... Hairstyles too...

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. The way Shii used to say she wanted to be just like me was almost too much at times...

Shizuku, dinner's almost ready.

Shizuku

Listen

Oh, Shii!
You came to get me?

Shiho

Listen

Because you weren't answering at all.
Hey, what are you looking at...?

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. They're pictures of when we were little.

Shizuku

Listen

I asked Asahina for some advice today after we finished up with practice.

Shiho

Listen

Asahina...?
Oh, the really popular girl from the archery club?

Shizuku

Listen

Yes, she's a really incredible person.

Shizuku

Listen

Anyway, I asked her for some advice, and what she said reminded me of when we used to do moon viewings, Shii.

Shiho

Listen

Moon viewings...?

Shizuku

Listen

Yes, I was looking for a photo of us from back then and I found all these other adorable pictures of you...!

Shiho

Listen

Okay, I get it.

Shiho

Listen

I should ask just in case...
You don't plan on showing anyone those, do you?

Shizuku

Listen

No, I hadn't thought about that but...

Shizuku

Listen

I know! I could show them to Asahina as a way to thank her and get her to learn a little more about you!

Shiho

Listen

Not happening.
Besides, she'd probably be really confused if you tried anything like that.

Shizuku

Listen

You think so?
But you're absolutely adorable in these photos... You even have some sauce stuck to your cheek in this one...

Shiho

Listen

If you show that to anyone, I'm not talking to you anymore.

Shizuku

Listen

What?! No...

Shizuku

Listen

Still, I remember how we used to play together all the time...

Shiho

Listen

We did...?

Shizuku

Listen

Yes, for example...
That time we waited at the park with grandma while our mother came to pick us up...

A few years ago

Grandmother

Oh, Shiho, what are you making there?

Little Shiho

Listen

A sandy mountain...

Little Shizuku

Listen

It's so big.
You're amazing, Shii♪

Little Shiho

Listen

Oh, can you put your hand through there for me?

Little Shizuku

Listen

Like this?

Little Shiho

Listen

Yeah. Then, I'll move some sand away like this and...

Little Shiho

Listen

There...!

Little Shizuku

Listen

Oh, look at that!
I can see you through the mountain, Shii.

Little Shiho

Listen

I can see you too, Shizuku.

Little Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. This is wonderful.
I guess we can name it Mt. Shii after you.

Little Shiho

Listen

No way...

Little Shizuku

Listen

But it's such a lovely name...

Grandmother

Hehe. Are you a little embarrassed about that, Shiho?

Little Shiho

Listen

Yeah...
Let's name it after you instead, Shizuku.

Little Shizuku

Listen

Me?!
Hehe. Thank you so much!

Little Shizuku

Listen

You're so incredible, Shii. You know so many ways of having fun that I'd never be able to imagine.

Little Shizuku

Listen

Would you mind showing me more while we wait for mommy to come pick us up?

Little Shiho

Listen

Okay.

Little Shiho

Listen

Next, I'll take some sand and curl them up to make...

Little Shizuku

Listen

Here, lots and lots of dango.

Grandmother

Oh, you're right. These look so good, Shiho. I might just mistake them for the real thing.

Little Shiho

Listen

I really doubt that...

Little Shizuku

Listen

Okay, Shii, what do you want to play next?

Little Shiho

Listen

Hmm... How about...?

???

Shiho, Shizuku!

Little Shiho

Listen

Oh...!

Mother

Sorry for being so late.
This koto lesson ended up going overtime...

Little Shiho & Shizuku

Listen

Mommy...!

Mother

Were you two okay? I hope you weren't lonely.

Little Shizuku

Listen

We weren't lonely at all. Shiho, grandma and I played lots together.

Little Shizuku

Listen

Right, Shii?

Little Shiho

Listen

Yeah...!

Mother

Hehe. You two are so close.

Mother

And thank you for looking after them like this.

Grandmother

Oh, it was my pleasure. I even ended up playing with them♪

Little Shizuku

Listen

Oh, mommy.
The dango grandma made for us was really good.

Little Shiho

Listen

Yours too, Shizuku.

Little Shizuku

Listen

Thanks♪
But yours were even better than that, Shii.

Mother

Hehe. In that case, would you two like to help out with dinner tonight?

Little Shizuku

Listen

Yeah!

Mother

Then we'll need to head right home.
Tonight, we're having Salisbury steaks.

Little Shiho

Listen

Salisbury steak...!

Little Shizuku

Listen

Let's make some really good ones, Shii.

Little Shiho

Listen

Yeah...!

Shizuku

Listen

After that, we made some together and put so much love into them. It even seemed like they tasted much better than normal too...

Shiho

Listen

That really happened...?

Shizuku

Listen

Yes, it did. The way you treated me as your big sister was so cute too...

Shizuku

Listen

Oh, here it is! The moon viewing photo I was looking for. This is fantastic. It's from your first moon viewing after you started kindergarten...

Shiho

Listen

Okay, okay.
You never get tired of this, do you...?

Shizuku

Listen

Of course not. That's because you were cute back then and even now, Shii!

Shiho

Listen

That's not what I was asking.
Anyways, we should probably...

Mother's Voice

Shiho, Shizuku, dinner.

Shiho

Listen

There's mom, right on cue...
I'm heading back down.

Shizuku

Listen

W-Wait, Shii!

Shiho

Listen

What now? I think you've reminisced over photos enough...

Shizuku

Listen

I was wondering if you'd like to do a moon viewing together since it's been so long...

Shiho

Listen

Huh...?

Shizuku

Listen

We did them as a family when we were little, but we haven't done one in quite some time, right?

Shizuku

Listen

Which is why I was hoping to do one with you like old times... What do you think?

Shiho

Listen

...

Shiho

Listen

Sorry, I'm too busy with practice and stuff.

Shizuku

Listen

Shii...

Shiho

Listen

We're about to do our first show as Leo/need too. We all decided to try and go pro together, so I need to give this everything I have right now.

Shiho

Listen

So, sorry...

Shizuku

Listen

No, I understand.
It's your big dream, so I suppose there's no choice.

Shizuku

Listen

Please, Shii, do your best.
I'll be cheering you on.

Shiho

Listen

Thanks...

Shizuku

Listen

She's been working so hard every single day...

Shizuku

Listen

(It seemed like she had a lot on her mind until recently, but now she looks like she's having so much fun chasing after her dream like this...)

Shizuku

Listen

(I'm sure she'll face some tough challenges moving forward, but I know she won't back down from them...)

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. That means I need to do my best too...
