Hey, Hina-senpai... |  |
Himari
And then, Hina-senpai--
Tsugumi
Phew~, sorry for the wait, everyone. My student council work took longer than I thought.
Ran
Ah, Tsugumi. Sounds like you're working hard.
Tsugumi
I'm just glad I got here in time~. With all my work, I thought I'd be late for sure.
Tomoe
We still have over half an hour before our reservation. No need to rush over here.
Moca
Sounds like someone's as Tsugurific as ever~.
Himari
Come on, Moca~. Tsugu's working really hard for the student council. The least you can say is "Good job." You're doing great, Tsugu!
Tsugumi
Fufu, thank you, Himari-chan.
Himari
Were you doing paperwork again?
Tsugumi
No, all the documents are ready now. Today we turned them in to the teacher and explained what we wanted to do.
Moca
Is this about that one thing? You know, adding more stuff to the cafeteria menu~.
Tsugumi
Yes! I don't know if it'll actually happen, but everything's going smoothly so far.
Ran
Didn't you say you wanted to changed the lunchtime broadcast too?
Tsugumi
Yeah. We're meeting with the broadcast committee tomorrow.
Tomoe
You really are busy. Make sure you don't overdo it, okay?
Tsugumi
Okay! Thanks, Tomoe-chan.
Moca
Hey, Tsugu~. Don't you think you're working a little too much~?
Tsugumi
Am I? It doesn't feel like it...
Himari
Still, you need to take time to relax and have fun.
Tsugumi
As long as I'm with you guys, I am having fun.
Tomoe
In that case, why don't we all do something together on our next day off?
Ran
Wouldn't it be better to just let her rest? Going out is tiring in its own way.
Tsugumi
No, I think that's a great idea! Hanging out with everyone would give me all the energy I need.
Moca
Hehe~, then that settles it~. We're all gonna hang out on our next day off~.
Ran
Where should we go? I don't really want to go too far away.
Moca
Well, is there anywhere you do want to go~?
Ran
... Not really. Shouldn't we be asking Tsugumi though?
Tomoe
Good point. We're getting together for her, after all.
Tsugumi
I'm really happy to hear that, but... I can't think of anywhere off the top of my head...
Himari
Alright, then how about I make a suggestion?
Moca
Sounds good~. Take it away, Hii-chan~.
Himari
Why don't we rent a movie and watch it at someone's house? Something laid-back like that would be better.
Tomoe
Oh, I like that! Figuring out what movie to watch would be fun too!
Moca
Agreed~. I'll bring lots and lots of snacks.
Ran
Then why don't we have it at my place?
Himari
Can we?! Thanks, Ran~! How does that sound, Tsugu?
Tsugumi
I think that's a great idea! And there's actually a movie I want to watch!
Himari
Really? That's perfect! We can all watch it together!
Moca
What kind of movie is it~?
Tsugumi
It's a documentary about some middle school students working hard to change their school. It documents their entire journey.
Tsugumi
I just happened to find the movie when I was at the library, so I've already rented it!
Moca
Oho~...
Tsugumi
Evidently, these student start by taking over the student council, and then proceed to reform the whole school for the better!
Tsugumi
Isn't that amazing for middle schoolers?!
Tomoe
So you want to watch that... with all of us? All five of us...
Ran
That sounds like something we'd watch at school...
Himari
C-come on, Ran! ... It's fine, Tsugu! I'd love to see it!
Moca
Can't we watch something more entertaining~?
Tsugumi
S-sorry, you're right! We're getting together to watch a movie, we should watch something better. I'll watch the documentary by myself.
Moca
No way, Hii-chan said she wanted to see it too~. You two can watch it together~. Isn't that right, Hii-chan~?
Himari
Y-yeah, what's the big deal? I'll watch it. It sounds... interesting. When do you wanna meet, Tsugu?
Tsugumi
Himari-chan... You don't have to pretend...
Transcript
Marina
Ah, Tsugumi-chan. Are you all done with practice? I bet you did great!
Tsugumi
Thank you! We spent a lot of time here today, didn't we?
Marina
Huh? Isn't today Sunday? Why are you in your uniform?
Tsugumi
I went to school this morning to work on some stuff for student council before coming here.
Marina
Huh? You did?! But it's supposed to be your day off...
Marina
Being part of student council must be hard work. I bet Arisa-chan and Rinko-chan are going through the same thing.
Tsugumi
Fufufu, it is hard work, but it's fun and totally worth it!
Marina
Now that I think about it, aren't you the vice president? Hina-chan's the president, right?
Tsugumi
Yeah! Most of my job is creating documents and working with other committee members.
Marina
Sounds like you're the reason the council runs so smoothly.
Tsugumi
Fufu, I hope so. I also prepare any paperwork or documents needed for Hina-senpai's ideas and events.
Tsugumi
Some of them can be a bit vague or grand though. Sometimes it's hard to understand exactly what she wants to do.
Marina
Yeah, I can almost picture what your meetings must be like. What's Hina-chan like when she's working on student council-related things?
Tsugumi
Nothing changes really. She's as free-spirited as ever.
Marina
I thought so.
Tsugumi
Still, I think that's what makes Hina-senpai so amazing.
Tsugumi
Whether she's working as an idol or our student council president, she's still herself.
Tsugumi
A while ago, she told me this, "Instead of trying to fit in at school, shouldn't we be trying to make school fit us?"
Marina
That definitely sounds like Hina-chan.
Tsugumi
Doesn't it?! I think having a perspective like that is really important.
Tsugumi
That's why I hope that by working on student council with Hina-senpai, I'll learn to think like that too!
Marina
Fufu, with Hina-chan by your side, I'm sure that won't be hard at all.
Marina
If that happens... Does that mean you'll start acting like Hina-chan?
Marina
I can't even imagine that! Can you, BanG Dreamer-san?
Tsugumi
Ahaha, I don't think it's possible for me to act like Hina-senpai, even if I tried.
Tsugumi
Still, I do want to work hard and learn to be confident in myself!
Marina
Yeah, you'll do great in student council, and you'll do it in your own special way! I'll be cheering you on!
Tsugumi
Fufu, thank you!
