Chapter Text
Shizuku: I always loved being an Idol.
Spreading hope to everyone was everything to me, on concerts or on TV.
Seeing how my fans truly loved me was always so moving…
But i can’t be an Idol anymore…
[Flashback]
Member A: Shizuku got another solo shoot for a magazine cover. This is clearly favoritism.
Member B: Yeah, I guess a pretty face is all they care about. We're clearly better at singing and dancing than she is.
[End of Flashback]
Manager: Are you sure, Hinomori?
Shizuku: … Yes, i can’t be in Cheerful*Days anymore. But i’m truly grateful for my time here.
Manager: *Sigh* This isn’t gonna be good for us… But i have to respect your decision.
I hope you find happiness in what you decide to do after this.
Shizuku: Thank you so much for everything!
–Some time later–
–Hinomori Household - Shizuku’s Room–
Shizuku: “Shizuku quit being an idol? Damn, all my favorite Idols are disappearing… First Airi, then Haruka and now Shizuku?”
Oh… Haruka Kiritani from ASRUN also quit…?
(Why…? Why did i quit? I can’t go back now… But…
Isn’t there a way? Isn’t it my duty to spread hope?
I gave up… It’s not my duty anymore-
No! I’m so selfish…)
Ah? My phone is flashing again?
This song, Untitled? Did i download this on accident?
-Screen flashing-
Shizuku: What’s happening…?
–???–
Shizuku: Huh…? Where am i…?
I was in my room a moment ago, how did i get here?!
This place looks like a concert hall for Idols! It’s adorable!
Miku: Hello, Shizuku!
Shizuku: Who? Wait… Y-you’re!!!
You’re Hatsune Miku!
MEIKO: Don’t forget about me♪ Welcome to your SEKAI, Shizuku!
Shizuku: A-Ah! Ms. MEIKO and Hatsune Miku are here?
MEIKO: Just MEIKO is fine, i prefer to be casual, it’s just easier♪
Shizuku: This must be a dream, and… SEKAI?
Miku: Yes! A world born from your feelings!
And we're here because we want all of you to find your true feelings again, right here in this SEKAI.
Because when you do, those feelings will then give birth to songs.
Shizuku: … What?
MEIKO: It seems like you don’t understand, but don’t worry about that right now♪
You still have to find your true feelings.
Miku: But when you do, hold onto them and never let go, because the others still haven’t found out theirs yet.
Shizuku: What do you mean?
MEIKO: The show’s about to start!
See you around, Shizuku! Stay hopeful♪
Shizuku: W-wait!
Shizuku: … Huh?
I fell asleep?
Shiho: Shizuku, dinner’s ready.
Shizuku: Ah! Okay, Shii!
Huh? A notification…?
Kanade: A commission for an Idol song?
YUME YUME JUMP… I’ll give it a try…
