Minori's Mother
What's going on? Is something the matter?
Minori's Father
You said you'd like to discuss something with us. If this is about your allowance, you need to wait until the beginning of your second year...
Minori's Mother
The credit-based course...?
Minori's Mother
Oh, now I remember...
Aren't Airi and Shizuku also in that?
Aren't Airi and Shizuku also in that?
Minori's Father
Which means... Minori, are you hoping to switch in order to contribute more as a member of MORE MORE JUMP!?
Minori
Our solo show and the TV appearance the other day went so well that all these people are asking us to work with them.
Minori
But most of them need us to be available during the day. So far, we've had to turn down some of them because I'm in school during that time...
Minori
Which has been bothering me a lot lately. I'm afraid of what's gonna happen if this keeps up...
Minori's Mother
Yes, you did mention you've had to turn down some offers that you were really hoping to accept...
Minori
Exactly. Our main goal right now is to do a show at the Dome and spread more hope than we ever have.
Minori
Which means we need to get our name out there by working as much as we can as a group.
Minori's Father
I understand what you're saying, Minori...
Minori's Father
However, we can't agree to this lightly.
Switching to the credit-based course doesn't simply equate to being able to use your time freely, right?

Minori's Father
How you handle your schoolwork and what sort of support your school is going to give you may change.
Minori's Father
You still need to study. Not only that, the onus will likely be placed solely on you to figure out a way to keep up with your peers somehow.
Minori's Father
Also, Minori... I'm sure you already realize that you won't be able to see your friends as much moving forward.
Minori's Father
By placing your work as an idol first, there's a strong possibility that you won't be able to participate in the Sports Festival, School Festival or other such events.
Minori's Father
In other words, you'll be relinquishing your only opportunity in life to enjoy high school like everyone else...
Minori's Father
With all of that in mind, are you prepared to make this switch?
Minori
(It hasn't even been a year since I entered high school, but so much has happened in that time...)

(I got to meet Shiho and Kohane because I was living life as a normal high schooler. On top of that...)

Minori
(The Seaside School, the School Festival, everything... I had so much fun. And I was able to take part because I was a regular high school student...)
Minori
(But I might not be able to moving forward after I switch to the credit-based course.)
Minori
I understand that things are going to get really tough from here on out. I'm sad about not being able to see my friends as much, and having to study all on my own is going to be tough too.
Minori
Still, with all of that in mind, I still want to do more as a member of MORE MORE JUMP!
Minori
Which is why I want to go credit-based...
I want to do everything I possibly can as an idol!

Minori's Mother
Minori...
Minori's Father
I see...
Minori's Father
If you've already given it that much thought, then I have nothing else to say.

Minori's Mother
Me neither...
Minori's Mother
When you first set out to become an idol, I was worried about whether it was really possible.
Minori's Mother
But you kept auditioning over and over again without ever giving up. Now, you have a wonderful group of friends, and successfully put on a solo show with them. You've become an idol like you always dreamed...
Minori's Mother
We couldn't be more proud of your achievements. So...
Minori's Mother
We want to see where your dream takes you, Minori.
Minori's Mother
Go credit-based. Follow your heart.
You have our support no matter what.
You have our support no matter what.
Minori
I promise to become an idol who can spread hope to lots and lots of people... The best idol ever!

Airi
The bonds you've forged with your friends won't easily break. The connections you've established with them will endure...
Airi
But I don't want you to give up on them. You can always reset things by telling each other exactly how you feel.
Minori
Oh, while we're on the subject...
I tried coming up with a schedule to help myself imagine being in the credit-based course...

Take a look!
If Haruka and I are both credit-based, we'll be free during these hours.
