AWAKEN, MY IDOL:


SHIZUKU: *Huff* "How was it?"



AKI: "It was great! It's like a whole new performance! Do that tomorrow and I'm sure the event will be a huge success!"



SHIZUKU: "I have you to thank for everything. You never stopped supporting me, even when I completely messed everything up."


AKI: "No way. You brought the school idol written in your notebook to life through your own hard work. I barely did anything."



SHIZUKU: "No, I never would have been able to come this far on my own. I can't thank you enough, Senpai!"


AKI: "Geez, you're making me blush. All I wanted to do was to cheer you on because I could see you were trying your best."


Huh, kind of reminds me of...



SETSUNA: "...Mifune is trying her very best, though."


Huh... Th-That doesn't matter right now.



SHIZUKU: "In that case, I'll try even harder from now on, so please keep cheering for me!"



KASUMI: "I don't really like Shioriko Mifune...
But it's the duty of a school idol to support anyone who does their best!"


Conscience... I said that's not important right now!


AKI: "Y-You got it!"



SHIZUKU: "Thank goodness! Phew, suddenly I feel exhausted. Perhaps it's because I'm relieved?"


AKI: "I don't blame you. You've worked yourself to the bone these past few days. Knowing you, you were probably doing a bunch of extra stuff at home too, right?"



SETSUNA: "A supplementary budget would generally be unthinkable.
For her to recieve Board approval means that she must have prepared enough materials to convince the Board that the supplementary budget was necessary."


Gah, I told you, I don't care...



SHIZUKU: "Maybe a bit."


AKI: "I doubt it was just a bit. Don't tell me you've been getting less sleep because of it?"



SHIZUKU: "Maybe a...bit."


AKI: "I knew it. Good thing I kept your practices here on the lighter side since I knew you were doing extra at home."



SHIZUKU: "Huh? You saw right through me? How embarrassing..."


AKI: "Good grief. Working hard's one thing, but don't run yourself into the ground, okay?"



SHIZUKU: "Umm, I'm sorry."


AKI: "But I respect and love how dedicated you are."



SHIZUKU: "L-Love? Well, th-thank you very much!"


AKI: "Even so, you've gone above and beyond. I can't wait for the others to see you. They won't believe their eyes!"



SHIZUKU: *Giggle* "I've never put this much thought into a character before or lost myself in one so fully. I really feel like I've awakened my inner idol and brought her to life. As exhausted as I am, the fatigue makes me feel that much more satisfied."


AKI: "Really? That's good to hear."



SHIZUKU: "All right then, I'll go through it once more from the top."


AKI: "What? You're gonna keep going? Didn't you just say you're exhausted? I think you'd be better off heading back and getting some proper rest."


SHIZUKU: "Tomorrow's the actual performance. Today is the only day I have left to practice!"


AKI: "You're a fighter, I'll give you that."



SHIZUKU: "Now that I've come this far, I must strive for perfection so that everyone enjoys the show!"


AKI: "This is the last round, okay? Go home and go straight to bed once this is over, got it?"


SHIZUKU: "Yes, I promise."


AKI: "Just gimme a minute to get ready."



SHIZUKU: "I'll treat this rehearsal like it's the real deal, with even more gusto than before. Consider this your own personal live show's eve performance."


AKI: *Laugh* "Wow! I get an entirw performance from you all to myself, Shizuku? Talk about extravagant!"
