What should we start with for the summer holiday homework? I always end up putting it off because I can't decide...

Riko
I think arithmetic is best. The answers are clear cut, and if you solve them quickly, you can secure more time.

An
For me, it's definitely the independent research project! If you start early, you can try lots of different things!

Shigure
Any of those is fine, isn't it? We have to do all of it anyway.

Iruru
I always started with the book report. I wanted plenty of time to read the book.

Shigure
Hmm, that does make sense... It's better to spend time properly reading scripts too...

Shigure
...Wait, Iruru-senpai!? Why are you suddenly joining in!?

Iruru
Well, I stopped by this familiar sweet shop and overheard a cute conversation.

Koharu
Do you come to this sweet shop often too, Iruru-san?

Iruru
Yes. I've been coming here since I was little. I get cravings for penny sweets every now and then.

Riko
Shigure-sama did say earlier that even adults eat penny sweets these days...

An
It really was true! Shigure-sama is amazing as always!

Iruru
The guard squad is still as in love with Shigure as ever.

Iruru
By the way, what brings you all here? Taking a detour after school?

Koharu
We're having a celebration party for Shigure-sama passing her swimming test!

Iruru
Oh, is that so.

Shigure
That's not quite right. It's because Riko and An passed too, isn't it?

Riko
Shigure-sama...you're thinking of us too...!

An
I'm so happy! I'm moved!

Shigure
Honestly... you're all so dramatic about everything.

Iruru
Fufu...

Shigure
What's with that relaxed face?

Iruru
I was just thinking what wonderful friends you have. You must treasure them, you know?

Shigure
Of course. Taking care of fans is only natural.

Riko
W-what generous words...!

Koharu
For us, just being near Shigure-sama is more than enough!

An
We'll follow Shigure-sama anywhere!

Iruru
There you have it. You'll have to become a good actor to live up to their expectations.

Shigure
Hmph! You don't need to tell me that!

Shigure
Even working hard for the swimming test was because I didn't want to reduce my rehearsal time~

Riko
Shigure-sama's noble aspirations are wonderful...!

An
So cool! I admire you!

Koharu
We need to support Shigure-sama as hard as she's working!

Shigure
Aha! That's a good attitude. Make sure you put your all into supporting me, okay~?

Koharu/Riko/An
Yes!

Iruru
(Fufu...watching Shigure and her guard squad somehow gives me energy too.)

Shigure
I'm home.

Shigure
...Huh? The lights are on?

Shigure's Mother
Welcome home. You're late today.

Shigure
Mama!? You're already home!?

Shigure's Mother
I finished work early, unusually. Dinner will be ready soon.

Shigure
Wow...I'm looking forward to Mama's cooking!

Shigure's Mother
You've been coming home late recently, so I haven't been able to cook for you. Eat plenty.

Shigure
Yay! I had swimming class today too, so I'm starving.

Shigure's Mother
It's that time of year, isn't it. Oh, that reminds me. You said you had a swimming test.

Shigure's Mother
How did it go? Did you pass?

Shigure
Of course! I passed on the first try!

Shigure's Mother
That's amazing! I was worried because you're not good at sports. Well done!

Shigure's Mother
We should celebrate as a family! I'll call Papa and ask him to buy a cake on his way home!

Shigure
Ehehe...thank you, Mama!

Shigure
(To be praised by Mama too...it was worth working hard!)

Shigure
(I really hated the swimming test but...maybe it wasn't so bad after all♪)
