>I see! I can understand that.

>Throughout the ages, many people have been charmed by them.
>...It's true
>This shiny green color...feels like its drawing me in...

>The emerald's charm...
>...I wonder if the power of Ha-chan's Linkle Stone Emerald is causing those around her to become wild about her...

>Ah!
>Be careful! The slightest impact could shatter it!
>Here~
>Even though it's so pretty
>to think it could break so easily...

>The next day, after school.
>I shall not let you have Kotoha Hanami!

>!

>I'll let you be my co-lead and rise up the stairs of stardom in the fall culture festival.

>To shoot a general, you must first shoot his horse! [TN: Proverb meaning "begin with lesser things to obtain the greater".]

>Ha...

>Ufufufu I'm looking forward to it~

>Kyaa~~ Hanami-san collapsed~~

p20
>...I'm sorry for worrying you.

>Infirmary
>I thought I could handle... doing several clubs at once
>You wanted to live up to everyone's expectations
>and ended up pushing yourself too hard, didn't you, Ha-chan...

>Or rather
>it's because Mirai got too caught up in her wild dreams...
>I'm such a bad parent~~~
>Hah~

>Well... wanting the best route for their children is a habit of parents, after all.
>I'm also at fault for leaving you with such a hectic task...

>...Emeralds break easily...
>You need to treat them with care!

>You should prioritize your own feelings rather than the expectations of those around you.
>That's right!
>We want you to choose the thing you want to do the most and have fun!
>We'll support you!!
>...What I
>want to do...

>Thank you, Mirai, Riko!
>I'll find my own answer!

>Everyone!
>On the rooftop!

>I've thought about this a lot
>and I've made my decision!

>It's gotta be me!
>No way! It is most certainly I!
