Living in the Same Moment

p5
>It's all over, huh...

>Both the graduation ceremony...
>and the concert...

>...
>Okay!

p6
>!

>Huh? Nico-chan?
>What are you doing here, Honoka...?

>That's my line~ Didn't you go home with everyone else?
>I thought about it it, but I read the mood and withdrew out of consideration.
>Ah, deary me.
>Ahaha. What the heck?

p7
>Still, I didn't think I'd run into you here, Nico-chan.
>I figured if you were here, you'd be in the clubroom.
>Either place would've been fine, but
>even though I've been in that clubroom the longest, it's here that I've been with everyone.
>Nico

>...You're right.
>Yeah.

>Hey, Nico-chan.

>You were doing school idol stuff by yourself until we came, right?

>...That's right. Why bring that up now?
>Was that sarcasm?
>Not at all!
>I was just wondering if you were lonely.

p8
>...I guess not.
>Things haven't changed all that much since then.

>I say I was alone, but Nozomi kept sticking her nose in.
>You're not growin' any bigger~
>Shut up...
>...
>You're lying.

p9
>I mean...

>the first time I met you,
>you seemed so lonely...

>It made me want to help you.

>Huh?

>It's cos you seemed lonely, Nico-chan.
>What the heck? That's pretty damn conceited, y'know...
>Ahaha. I suppose.


p10
>Even though it was you who helped us, Nico-chan.

>I didn't want help or intended to help you, though.
>Ehehe...

>Ah, I know!

>Hey, Nico-chan!
>What is it?

>Today's the day you graduate for real, right?
>That's right.

>In that case, can I make one final request?
>...That depends on what it is.

p11
>Well, y'see...

>...!?

>I want Nico-chan.

>...Huh? What did you say...

>..!!

>Ah, sorry. I didn't mean it like that.

>I meant this.
>By this, you mean...

p12
>Yeah, I want your ribbon, Nico-chan!
>I don't mind. I've got a few of them.
>But are you going for a twintail look?
>Are you sure that'd suit you?

>It'd look like you're taking my trademark.
>You're worried about me taking your trademark when we're not even in the same group anymore?
>If we keep being idols, we might end up competing somewhere!
>Is that so...?
>Wait,
>not that!

p13
>I meant this one.

>My school ribbon?

>What're you gonna do with it?
>Wear it.
>Huh?

>If I keep your ribbon close to my heart, it'll be like you're right here with me...


>That way, I won't feel lonely even after you graduate.
>What the heck?

>Fine. If I must.

p14
>Here.
>Make sure you inherit the will of Nico, the universe's number one idol.

>Sure! Thank you!
>Hey!!
>You're heavy!
>Ehehe~


p15
>That should do it.

>Now you're an senior student too, Honoka.
>Well, do your best.
>Sure! With Nico-chan's ribbon, I'll have the strength of a hundred people!
>What the heck~?

>Still, I'm surprised
>that you admired the super duper idol Nico-chan that much.
>Ahaha. True...

p16
>I certainly admired the dazzling idol Nico-chan, but...
>But?

>...The one I love
>is you, Nico-chan.

p17
>I love you, Nico-chan.

p19
>I've always been watching you.

>By the time I realised it, my eyes were on you.

>Even though you were an upperclassman,
>you didn't seem that way at all.

p20
>You cried.
>You laughed.
>You got annoyed.

>All these different expressions were cute.

>You loved school idols more than anyone else.
>>School Idol Special Feature

>You always gave your all when pursuing your dreams.

p21
>The fact that you were all alone as a school idol two years ago
>really made my heart sting.

>If only I had been with you more...
>If only I had met you sooner...
>If only we were classmates instead of being in seperate years...

>Would we...

p22
>have been together longer?

>Taking classes together. Taking exams together.
>Passing exams together. Graduating together.

>If that were to happen...
