Track 2

Kinari-kun, Chief-san, thank you for your hard work on stream!

Were you watching my DazzLive, Toi-sama?

Of course! We’re Chii’sCakes, right? I’ll always be supporting whatever activity you’re up to.

Toi’s had lotsa fun watchin’ your stream.

All while eating cookies on the sofa… Isn’t that great, Kinari-kun?

Getting to join in “Ev3ns’ After School Time” was really fun! It’s like I became a student again!

Plus, it made me want to take uniform puri-stickers with Ani-sama too…

Wanna go tomorrow? Just say the word, and we’ll take a hundred of ‘em.

Really? Yaaaay!

Please tell me when you do. I will inform Chihiro and we could all exchange the fruits of our labor.

Mhm, it’s a promise.

Ain’t it ‘bout time to go, Toi?

Ah… Yeah. Then, we’ll be on our way.

Understood. Please take care.

Stay safe you two. Good luck at work tonight!

…I am glad to have shared the amusement of after school with lots of people.

I’m happy for you, Kinari-kun. Actually, while I was behind the camera, it made me want to look through my old student photo album again for the first time in a while.

When the bells struck four, I’d wander around in my school uniform, trying out different things to make it look nice.

Are there still records remaining? I’d like to see how you spent your after school, Master.

A-Are you sure? Well… It might be a bit embarrassing, but I’ll bring the album right over next time.

Understood. I am looking forward to it.

…On the topic related to records on uniforms——

Truthfully, the Gymnasium beta-testing event¹ was not the first time I had worn one.

What, really?!

Yes. When I was first booted up, the Developer——my Father, handed me the Original’s uniform and told me to wear it. However, once I did——

…That doesn’t suit you. Go change.

…is what he had told me.

I’d only worn it for a short amount of time. As such, I believed that it didn’t suit me.

(That’s… Maybe it wasn’t that it didn’t suit Kinari-kun at all——)

(——but because seeing the original Kinari-kun² in him was just too painful to look at)

…That’s not true. A uniform looks perfect on you, Kinari-kun, so don’t worry!

Yes. The fans themselves have said so about 1811 times. Adding your compliments too, I have acquired enough emotional data on “confidence”.

I will make sure that recording new memory data under “uniforms” is maintained.

There is still much left for me to learn. Therefore, I look forward to your guidance from here on out, Master.

Same here! Learning becomes fun when you’re around, Kinari-kun.

…I have suddenly realized something.

I always learn a variety of different things from you. Does that mean that in a sense, you are also my “teacher”?

Now that you say it… I guess so?

But that wasn’t my intention at all. If anything, I’m the one learning lots from you.

Then the two of us are each other’s teacher and student. Is this what’s called… a mutual arrangement?

Hehe, maybe. So let’s keep learning new things and experience new things together.

Happy birthday, Kinari-kun! Really, I mean it.

Thank you very much. ——Your order’s in-effect date has been extended. I will continue to stay by your side, Master.

(A birthday that I celebrated with open arms alongside everyone. This isn’t a record of Kinari’s³, but one that belongs to me.)

(......Mine. “Azekawa Kinari’s”⁴ data.)
