Ichika
By the way, Saki heard from Otori that your class threw a party the other day to celebrate winning gold. Is that true?

Honami
Well, sort of... All we did was bring drinks and snacks to class, but everyone was so chatty and excited.

Ichika
I'm the representative for my class, but I'm not sure that I would've been able to do what you did given the situation.

Ichika
(And she must have been so scared that everyone might end up hating her, like what happened in junior high...)

Ichika
You thought seriously about everyone's opinions, faced them directly and clearly expressed your own thoughts.

Ichika
And then you guided your class towards a decision everyone could agree on. That's why I think you're so amazing.

Honami
You should've seen how shaky my knees were when I was standing in front of everyone in class that day...

Honami
But I was only able to muster up enough courage because you, MEIKO and everyone else supported me.

Honami
Your encouragement convinced me that my classmates would really listen to me and that I could trust him.

Honami
Some boys were teasing me in the courtyard, but then you ran and stood in between us with your arms wide open and stared them down...

Ichika
They left in the end because Saki ran over and shouted at them to go away. I didn't really do anything special.


Honami
Let's see... There was that time you let Saki use your textbook as an umbrella because it started raining all of a sudden and didn't want her to catch a cold...

Honami
Um... It was another time you did something completely unexpected, like using your textbook as an umbrella...


Ichika & Honami
Hehe!

Miku
I felt the same way too. I could really tell that you were enjoying yourself a lot more, Honami.

Ichika
Right. The effort you put in towards being able to talk to your classmates more honestly must have helped too.

Ichika
Confidence, huh...? Maybe I'll get the same boost if I try to overcome something I'm having trouble with too...

Saki
We will now stat Operation Talent Boost to improve how Ichi plays by helping her to overcome something she's having trouble with!

Shiho
It has to be thrill rides or roller coasters. She was so scared that one time we went to Phoenix Wonderland and went on those rides when we were kids.

Saki
So if she overcomes her fears, we'll be able to go on lots of roller coaster rides... Wait, that's not the point...!

Honami
I'm trying to find articles that contain tips on overcoming a fear of roller coasters... Oh, here's one! Let's see...

Honami
Try to imagine how exciting the scenery will be, like the wind in your face or the sense of liberation you can get from screaming loudly...!

Ichika
But... I clung to the safety bar like my life depended on it last time and was too scared to even look up, so that might tough...

Saki
We're all kidnapped by some shady organization and you can't save us unless you overcome your fear of roller coasters!

Honami
Hehe. Wait! I just thought of a much easier way for you to overcome something you're having trouble with.

Shiho
You're trying to overcome something you're having trouble with, remember? If you'd rater do the roller coaster challenge, we'd be all for that too.

Ichika
No, thank you... I have a feeling you'll put way more green peas that is necessary into my mouth...
