    A world where anyone can be happy.
[00:06] Shioriko
    That is the world that I dream of.
[00:08] Shioriko
    I wonder where it is.
[00:14] Kaoruko
    We, third-years,
[00:17] Kaoruko
    are going to retire from
    being school idols.
[00:20] Kaoruko
    We didn't end up making
    it all the way... to Love Live, but...
[00:37] Shioriko
    Sis...
[00:44] Kaoruko
    You've always said you
    wanted to be a school idol.
[00:47] Kaoruko
    The fact that you're helping out with
    this festival means that, too, right?
[00:51] Kaoruko
    I honestly thought you
    were going to perform.
[00:59] Shioriko
    That was when I was a child.
[01:01] Shioriko
    What I'm best suited to do is cheer
    everyone on and support them.
[01:08] Shioriko
    I don't want to waste any time on
    unrelated matters during the festival.

    Wow, this sure takes me back.
[08:46] Yu
    Is this you, Mifune-sensei?
[08:48] Setsuna
    You were a school idol?!
[08:51] Kaoruko
    Yup! And that's my little
    sister, Shioriko.
[08:55] Yu, Ayumu, Setsuna & Ai
    What?!
[08:57] Kaoruko
    Isn't she adorable? She was saying
    that once she got into high school
[09:00] Kaoruko
    that she was going to be a
    school idol no matter what.
[09:04] Ai
    Huh?
[09:04] Kaoruko
    Our generation was sorta
    missing something.
[09:08] Kaoruko
    We only made it to the qualifiers and
    back then... I probably let Shioriko down.

    I'm just speaking as her
    big sister here but...

    I'm pretty sure that

    hasn't changed!

[09:31] Shioriko
    Is something wrong?

    Why didn't you tell us earlier?
[09:34] Setsuna
    There's no need for you to hold
    back on something you love!
[09:38] Setsuna
    You should be a school idol with us!
[09:42] Shioriko
    Where is this coming from?
[09:44] Ayumu
    Your big sister told us that
    you wanted to be a school idol.
[09:51] Shioriko
    Sis...
[09:52] Ai
    If you still wanna be one, we'll
    welcome you with open ar--
[09:55] Shioriko
    That's enough.
[09:57] Shioriko
    I will not become a school idol.
[10:00] Shioriko
    I already gave up on that.
[10:04] Ayumu
    You gave up?
[10:05] Ayumu
    Why though?
[10:07] Shioriko
    As you said, it's true that I
    used to idolize school idols.
[10:14] Shioriko
    My goal was to be like my sister.
[10:17] Shioriko
    My sister was a very
    skilled singer and dancer,
[10:21] Shioriko
    and a very hard worker...
[10:25] Shioriko
    But in the end, my sister just
    wasn't meant to be a school idol.
[10:30] Shioriko
    She couldn't achieve the results
    she wanted, her dreams shattered,
[10:34] Shioriko
    she ended up hurt, and
    everything was over.
[10:38] Shioriko
    I'm going to live my life doing what
    I do best to my fullest potential.
[10:44] Shioriko
    And that is to support all of your dreams.
[10:49] Shioriko
    It is not to stand on stage.
[10:51] Setsuna
    Why not do both?
[10:54] Setsuna
    That's what you told
    me, too, Mifune-sa--
[10:56] Shioriko
    That's because you're
    actually able to do that.
[11:00] Shioriko
    Rather than putting time into
    something you're not suited for
[11:02] Shioriko
    it's better to give your all to
    something you're suited to do.
[11:05] Shioriko
    That way, I can be useful to everyone,
    and everyone will be happy.
[11:11] Shioriko
    I have a hard time believing that's wrong.

    I looked up to her and strived to be her.
[12:44] Shioriko
    If she knew from the beginning that she
    wasn't meant to be a school idol...
[12:51] Shioriko
    My sister wouldn't have had
    those unnecessary regrets.

    I will not make the same mistake.

    It's true that I was
    disappointed back then.
[17:20] Kaoruko
    But now...
[17:22] Kaoruko
    I'm so glad I did it.
[17:26] Kaoruko
    The blinding spotlight...
    The happiness I felt singing to others...
[17:30] Kaoruko
    How proud I felt every time my adorable
    little sister said I was amazing...
[17:35] Kaoruko
    I only got to experience all that
    because I became a school idol.
[17:41] Kaoruko
    Just as Takasaki-san and
    the others have mentioned
[17:44] Kaoruko
    I'm sure that I had a
    great time in high school
[17:48] Kaoruko
    because of your support.
[17:50] Kaoruko
    I became a teacher so that I
    can support my students...

    And support you to the fullest extent.

    Mifune-san, when you
    saw your sister perform
[18:03] Ayumu
    you received a lot of
    happiness, didn't you?
[18:13] Shioriko
    I did.
[18:15] Shioriko
    My sister gave me many memories
    that got my heart racing.
[18:20] Shioriko
    But I thought that was all
    pointless when facing reality.
[18:25] Shioriko
    And yet...
[18:27] Shioriko
    The reason I decided
    to support all of you
[18:31] Shioriko
    might be because I didn't want
    to be apart from school idols.
[18:37] Shioriko
    Do you think... I can really do it?
[18:41] Setsuna
    You'll be fine. We'll
    be right by your side.

    You've still got a ways to go.

[21:10] Shioriko
    Everyone, thank you so much.
[21:12] Shioriko
    Um, I...
[21:15] Emma
    Do you want to perform with us tomorrow?
[21:18] Shioriko
    No. During the festival, I will
    continue to do my best with my duties.
[21:23] Shioriko
    But after that's done...
[21:26] Shioriko
    Would you let me join you
    as another school idol?
[21:30] Setsuna
    Of course!
[21:32] Setsuna
    Shioriko-san!
[21:34] Ai
    It's great to have you, Shiotte!
[21:37] Kasumi
    I'll teach you how to be a
    true school idol, Shioko.
[21:41] Shioriko
    Shiotte? Shioko?
[22:13] ---
    I found you!
[22:15] ---
    You had your eye on me, too
[22:20] ---
    Is this where it all begins?
[22:24] ---
    It's actually already begun
    (Now, let's go)
[22:28] ---
    Feelings (We have so many of them)
[22:31] ---
    Once they connect (It cheers us up!)
[22:36] ---
    Let our hearts become stronger
    and let's work even harder
[22:44] ---
    So at any time, our dream is our sun
[22:52] ---
    After we cry,
    let's put a smile on our faces
[22:56] ---
    And talk about the future
[23:00] ---
    At any time, our dream is our sun
[23:08] ---
    Even if the wind or rain hit hard
[23:11] ---
    Remember, there's a light
    that shines down on us
[23:18] ---
    I'm going to try to
    give it my all again today
[23:28] Yu
    Hm...
[23:31] Yu
    A thrill, huh...
