**[00:03] Shioriko**
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.

What... do you think?
**[02:52] Karin**
Well, what do you think, Yu?
**[02:55] Yu**
To be completely honest, I think
I'm still missing something.
**[03:00] Yu**
I'm so sorry to keep you waiting,
**[03:02] Yu**
but do you mind if I think
about this a little longer?
**[03:05] Ayumu**
Of course!
**[03:07] Ai**
All right. I think it's
time to head to Shinonome.
**[03:10] Emma**
Yeah.
**[03:11] Kasumi**
The School Idol Festival starts today!
**[03:15] Kasumi**
It's the start of... the best week ever!
**[03:19] Kanata**
I was so excited that I could
only sleep during the night.
**[03:23] Shizuku**
Kanata-san, I'm sorry, that's normal.
**[03:26] Kanata**
Oh, right.
**[03:30] Lanzhu**
I just don't know what to do.
**[03:32] Lanzhu**
I guess there're all kinds of attractions.

We're a little late.

I'm sure everyone else got to
Shion Girls' Academy by now.
**[05:33] Shizuku**
What's the matter?

Over there.
**[05:38] Kasumi**
Isn't that girl...

Do you like hamburgers?

Is that a problem?

No.

You're not going to the fes?
**[05:50] Mia**
Not interested.
**[05:52] Kasumi**
But it's so much fun!
**[05:54] Shizuku**
We'll be happy to lead you to the venue.
**[05:57] Mia**
It's just a bunch of amateurs, isn't it?
**[06:00] Kasumi**
Harumph!
**[06:01] Kasumi**
Oh, I see how it is.
**[06:03] Kasumi**
Then you stay here all by your lonesome...
**[06:07] Rina**
Listen.

What?

Oh, fine.

has this legendary hamburger

that you can only eat
at their cultural fair!

Oh, are you talking
about the Shion Burger?

Oh, I just happen to
have coupons for them.

Yay! I'm so happy!
**[06:53] Fan A**
Look!
**[06:58] Lanzhu**
Mia!
**[06:59] Lanzhu**
I didn't think you'd
show up at the festival.
**[07:03] Mia**
I didn't have much of a choice.
**[07:04] Mia**
They're so pushy.
**[07:08] Kanata**
Oh?
**[07:09] Kanata**
Lanzhu-chan's here, too!
**[07:12] Kanata**
Wanna go around with us?
**[07:13] Karin**
The collab performance with Ayumu, Ai,
**[07:15] Karin**
Setsuna, and Shion Girls'
Academy is about to start.
**[07:19] Lanzhu**
I'll pass.
**[07:21] Lanzhu**
I'll be able to see all of
your performances tomorrow.
**[07:27] Emma**
The last day will be at Nijigasaki.
Let's all have a great time.

Yes.
***SIGN*** Greenroom
**[07:44] All**
Yay!
**[07:46] Yu**
Great job, everyone.
**[07:48] Setsuna**
It was a wonderful
performance, thanks to you.
**[07:51] Sakuya**
You girls from Nijigasaki are so unique.
**[07:55] Sakuya**
I'd like to look further
into your abysses...
**[08:00] Ai**
Yeah, well... I think all you girls
**[08:02] Ai**
from Shion Girls' Academy
are super unique, too.
**[08:06] Sakura**
For some reason, every year,
**[08:07] Sakura**
we get more girls like that.
**[08:10] Sakuya**
I know. We have photos of all
of our previous school idols
**[08:14] Sakuya**
displayed in the exhibition hall.
**[08:15] Sakuya**
Why don't you go have a look?
**[08:17] Yu**
Really?! I'd love to!
**[08:20] Yu, Ayumu, Setsuna & Ai**
Wow!
***SIGN*** Tea Ceremony Club | Calligraphy Club School Idol Club | Softball Club
**[08:22] Setsuna**
They had so many different school idols.
**[08:26] Yu**
Huh?
**[08:27] Ayumu**
What's the matter?
**[08:31] Kaoruko**
Are you all having fun?
**[08:35] Yu**
Mifune-sensei!
**[08:36] Kaoruko**
Heya!
**[08:38] Yu**
She's a student teacher
in the music program.
**[08:41] Kaoruko**
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.
**[09:15] Kaoruko**
I'm just speaking as her
big sister here but...
**[09:18] Kaoruko**
I'm pretty sure that
her desire to be one...
**[09:20] Kaoruko**
hasn't changed!
**[09:28] Setsuna**
Mifune-san!
**[09:31] Shioriko**
Is something wrong?
**[09:32] Setsuna**
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.
**[11:14] Shioriko**
Let's bring this topic to a close.
**[11:16] Shioriko**
I still have some work to
do. If you'll excuse me.
***SIGN*** A 5-School Joint Cultural Fair The 2nd School Idol Festival Day 4
**[11:30] Kaoruko**
Oh, Shioriko.
**[11:32] Kaoruko**
What's wrong?
**[11:33] Kaoruko**
Did something happen?
**[11:35] Shioriko**
No, nothing.
***SIGN*** Shion Girls' Academy
**[11:51] Shioriko**
This is your school, Sis?
**[11:53] Kaoruko**
Yes.
**[11:55] Kaoruko**
Ever since Lanzhu moved to Hong Kong,
**[11:57] Kaoruko**
I wanted to cheer you up
since you looked so lonely.
**[12:09] Shioriko**
Hey, Sis. What does it feel
like to stand onstage?
**[12:14] Kaoruko**
Want to find out?
**[12:15] Shioriko**
Huh?!
**[12:17] Shioriko**
I-I couldn't. I'm not a school idol...
**[12:23] Kaoruko**
In that case,
**[12:24] Kaoruko**
stand up there on your own someday.
**[12:32] Shioriko**
My older sister was always
so cool and dazzling.
**[12:35] Shioriko**
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.
**[12:56] Shioriko**
I will not make the same mistake.
**[12:59] Shioriko**
No, it's the fact that...
**[13:02] Shioriko**
no one should ever have
to go through that.
***SIGN*** A 5-School Joint Cultural Fair The 2nd School Idol Festival Day 4
**[13:08] Kanata**
So she doesn't do anything
that doesn't suit her
**[13:11] Kanata**
and she just wants to do her
best at what she's suited to do.
**[13:16] Shizuku**
That might be a very fitting way
for Mifune-san to think...
**[13:20] Karin**
It's totally up to her if
she wants to do this or not.
**[13:25] Yu**
Even then, I just can't leave her alone.
**[13:28] Yu**
Just doing what you're best suited
for, or just supporting everyone...
**[13:32] Yu**
Sure, on the surface, that sounds right.
**[13:35] Yu**
But I just think...
**[13:40] Yu**
That's going to lead to some regrets.
**[13:44] Ayumu**
I think so, too.
**[13:46] Karin**
Seriously, you're all a bunch of softies.
**[13:49] Setsuna**
Let's try one more time to tell
Mifune-san how we really feel.
**[13:55] Yu, Ayumu & Ai**
Yeah.
***SIGN*** A 5-School Joint Cultural Fair The 2nd School Idol Festival Day 4
**[14:02] Ai**
Found you, Mifune-san!
**[14:05] Shioriko**
Miyashita-san.
**[14:06] Shioriko**
And the rest of you...
**[14:08] Ai**
We couldn't get a hold of you
and it took forever to find you!
**[14:12] Shioriko**
I-I'm sorry... Um, can I
help you with something?
**[14:16] Yu**
Mifune-san, you haven't had any free time
ever since the festival started, right?
**[14:21] Ayumu**
Let's go have some fun.
**[14:23] Shioriko**
But I'm in charge of making sure
everything runs smoothly...
**[14:27] Setsuna**
Seeing the fes through
the eyes of the audience
**[14:30] Setsuna**
is an important part of your job, too.
**[14:32] Setsuna**
Okay, let's go!
**[14:32] Ai**
Let's go!
**[14:34] Shioriko**
Hey, wait...
***SIGN*** Ring Toss

**[14:49] Ai**
This is so much fun!
**[14:52] Ayumu**
What did you think, Mifune-san?
**[14:54] Shioriko**
It felt like
**[14:55] Shioriko**
everyone was enjoying
what they wanted to do.
**[15:01] Setsuna**
There's one last place
**[15:03] Setsuna**
that we'd like to take you.
**[15:09] Ai**
Let's go!
**[15:09] Ayumu**
Yeah, let's go!
**[15:11] Shioriko**
Where are we going?
**[15:12] Setsuna**
Follow us.
**[15:18] Shioriko**
This is...
**[15:24] Yu**
This is...
**[15:26] Yu**
Where your dream started,
right, Mifune-san?
**[15:30] Setsuna**
Mifune-san.
**[15:32] Setsuna**
Please do what you want to do.
**[15:35] Setsuna**
We know that you're prioritizing
what you can do.
**[15:39] Setsuna**
And because of that, this
fes has been wonderful.
**[15:43] Setsuna**
And that's why, this time...
**[15:46] Setsuna**
We want you to let us support you.
**[15:52] Setsuna**
The reason I was able to be both a school
idol and the student council president
**[15:57] Setsuna**
is because the School Idol Club, the
student council, all of my fans,
**[16:00] Setsuna**
and Mifune-san...
**[16:02] Setsuna**
It's because you were all there for me.
**[16:04] Ayumu**
Just like you did something for us,
we want to do something for you, too.
**[16:10] Rina**
That's... only natural.
**[16:14] Ai**
Hey!
**[16:16] Ai**
Do you know what today is?
**[16:18] Shioriko**
Is it not the fourth day of the festival?
**[16:21] Ai**
That's not what I meant!
**[16:23] Emma**
It's the day to make
everyone's dreams come true.
**[16:27] Kanata**
You worked so hard, Shioriko-chan,
so your dream has to come true.
**[16:32] Kanata**
Or we just won't be able to call
this School Idol Festival a success.
**[16:38] Shioriko**
My... dream.
**[16:52] Shioriko**
But...
**[16:54] Shioriko**
My sister was crying.
**[16:58] Shioriko**
After working so hard
**[17:00] Shioriko**
for three years to make
her dream come true...
**[17:04] Shioriko**
But in the end...
**[17:06] Shioriko**
She was crying!
**[17:08] Shioriko**
She had regrets!
**[17:11] Kaoruko**
I didn't, though. I don't regret anything.
**[17:15] Shioriko**
Sis?
**[17:16] Kaoruko**
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...
**[17:54] Kaoruko**
And support you to the fullest extent.
**[18:00] Ayumu**
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.
**[18:44] Yu**
Believe in that thrill you feel inside.
**[18:48] Karin**
If you want to actually do this
**[18:51] Karin**
I'm pretty sure that means
you're meant to do this.
**[20:55] Shioriko**
How was it?
**[20:58] Kaoruko**
You've still got a ways to go.
**[21:00] Shioriko**
I know that.
**[21:02] Kaoruko**
But...
**[21:03] Kaoruko**
I loved it.
**[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...
