Virtual Live: Friendship Rebuilt After Show

1

Airi

Listen

And then we decided to go out
for lunch together sometime.
2

KAITO

Listen

Hehe. It sounds like
you both had a great time.
3

Minori

Listen

Huh? Airi, Shizuku, you're here already?
4

Airi

Listen

Yeah. I had something
to tell KAITO about before practice.
5

Luka

Listen

Oh, I see. What was it? It looked like
you were having a really fun chat.
6

Airi

Listen

Well, it's about my friend Ayumi
who I told you about the other day...
7

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. Airi and I had lunch with her.
8

Haruka

Listen

You too, Shizuku? Not just Airi?
9

Shizuku

Listen

Yes. I decided I'd like for us to be friends after hearing
Airi talk about her, so I joined them for their lunch.
10

Minori

Listen

Oh, wow!
Hehe. That's great, you two.
11

Shizuku

Listen

Yes!
12

Luka

Listen

Hehe. I'm glad that you seem
to be getting along well.
13

Haruka

Listen

Definitely.
But you're pretty amazing, Airi.
14

Haruka

Listen

Part of me always felt like it would be tough
to restore the relationships I lost because I'm an idol.
15

Minori

Listen

Haruka...
16

Airi

Listen

Yeah, you have a point...
To be honest, I'm still somewhat afraid myself.
17

KAITO

Listen

You are?
18

Airi

Listen

Yes. I mean, we may have gone back to talking
like we used to, but I'm still busy...
19

Airi

Listen

I do get scared that we might
end up drifting apart like we did before.
20

Shizuku

Listen

Airi...
21

Airi

Listen

But now I know
that things will be okay.
22

Luka

Listen

Oh? Why's that...?
23

Airi

Listen

It's true that we can't spend
as much time together...
24

Airi

Listen

But now, we both know
that we want to stay friends.
25

Airi

Listen

So I'm sure it'll be alright. Even if
there are times when I start to doubt.
26

Haruka

Listen

Airi...
27

Airi

Listen

We're not going to talk to each other every day
or go hang out all the time like when we first met...
28

Airi

Listen

But even so, I now believe that my friendship
with Ayumi can continue in a new form.
29

KAITO

Listen

Talking with her about how you both felt
must have given you that confidence.
30

Airi

Listen

Yes! And I have you to thank for telling me that there
must still be a bond between us. Thank you so much.
31

KAITO

Listen

Haha. I only told you what I thought.
32

KAITO

Listen

Because... That would just be too sad.
Having to give up precious friendships to remain an idol...
33

KAITO

Listen

Idols have a mission of spreading hope, and I don't want
to believe they can only exist because of such sadness.
34

Airi

Listen

Oh...
35

Airi

Listen

You're right. You said it, KAITO.
36

Airi

Listen

I want to believe that being an idol is
something fun and fulfilling... Something that glitters.
37

Airi

Listen

Hehe... Looks like you taught me
another valuable lesson, KAITO.
38

KAITO

Listen

Haha. If I've been of help,
then I couldn't be happier.
39

Airi

Listen

You've done so much, so rather than just putting it
in words, I want to do something to thank you...
40

Airi

Listen

But what would be best...?
41

KAITO

Listen

Hmm... In that case,
I'd like it if you sang a song.
42

Airi

Listen

A song?
43

KAITO

Listen

Yes! Seeing idols sing and dance...
That's what I love the most!
44

Luka

Listen

Hehe. That sounds like you, KAITO.
45

Luka

Listen

Well then, would you mind if I joined in, Airi?
After listening to you talk, I want to sing too♪
46

Airi

Listen

Really?! That would be lovely!
47

Shizuku

Listen

Airi, can we join as well?
48

Minori

Listen

I wanna sing with you!
49

Airi

Listen

Thank you! Alright everyone, here we go...
50

Airi

Listen

The peachy key.
