Everyone, thank you for coming all the way to the sea with me.
Thank you, too.
It was super fun, wasn't it~?

After everything you've done for me,

Hey, maybe you don't have to rush to find it?

find something you like so badly...?

...Because I don't know the right answer.
I've been asked "Choose something you like"
many times before.

There was always a prepared answer to that question.

...Hehe, she has a curious streak.

Shizuku's Mother
Pants are lovely too,
but Mother thinks this would suit Shizuku.

Shizuku, you liked this sort of thing too, didn't you?
My mother put her hands on both my shoulders.
It was her signal for me to nod.

Hehe, just as I thought.
Then this style. Next, let's choose the fabric.

—Shizuku. Sit over there.
A strained tone.
It was Mother's "time to teach me the right answer."

Shizuku's Mother
Can you tell what you did wrong today?
...It was because I talked about pants.
Shizuku's Mother
You're right, but that's only half correct.
Shizuku's Mother
Listen. You are a prodigy of the classical music world,
and the daughter of the musician "Genichiro Shinomiya."

Shizuku's Mother
It is absolutely unacceptable for "Shizuku Shinomiya"
to choose the same thing as some lowborn nobody of unknown origin.

Yes. I'm sorry.
Shizuku's Mother
I've prepared twenty fashion catalogs.
Shizuku's Mother
We'll have lessons until you can choose the correct answer from these.
Is that clear?

Shizuku's Mother
Answer me.
Yes.
Shizuku's Mother
Which one on this page would you choose as "something you like"?
...This one.
Shizuku's Mother
Wrong. Think more carefully.
Something worthy of "Shizuku Shinomiya."

Mother's lessons continued until sundown.
Some Time Later
Shizuku's Mother
Oh my, all these souvenirs?
Shizuku's Father
Yeah. I was away from home for a long time on this European tour.
It must have been hard on you and the girls.

Shizuku's Father
I hope there's something in here that you all like.
Shizuku's Mother
Isn't that nice?
You can choose whatever you like.

There were sweets, toys, picture books, and all kinds of things.
There were so many souvenirs that they filled the table and piled up high.

I was drawn to a cookie tin with a beautiful bird illustration.

Shizuku's Mother

I thought, this is wrong.
Then what about a picture book? I looked at Mother again.

So you like picture books, Shizuku.

Shizuku's Mother
Yes, indeed.
In her free time, she reads on the balcony.

Then I'll keep bringing home lots of books.

From Mother's words, I learned:
"I see. So I am meant to read on the balcony."

That's...
In my parents' home, there were likes befitting
"a prodigy of the classical music world" and "Genichiro Shinomiya's daughter."
"a prodigy of the classical music world" and "Genichiro Shinomiya's daughter."
But I know that the same answer doesn't fit
"me as part of the family."
"me as part of the family."
Even so, I never know the right answer.
I do nothing but answer "I don't know," and I'm sorry to everyone.

Shizuku...!
...Mmm~ hug!!
...Mmm~ hug!!
...Raika, what's wrong?
I don't know, but... somehow...
I realized you've been searching for the right answer all this time, Shizuku.
...Chieri doesn't get it.
Isn't everything you choose for yourself the right answer?

...There are people who don't work like that, right?
I think there are right answers you're forced to choose by the atmosphere and words around you.

Maybe as you repeated that,
your own feelings became harder for you to see, Shizuku.

Perhaps so.
That's why my master's teachings have been a good guide.

Huh...?
When my soul trembles, it's a sign that it's something I like.
That's what I'm searching for now, but...
That's what I'm searching for now, but...
Hmm... Sometimes you like something even if your soul doesn't tremble, right?

Is it all right to say "I like it" even if my soul doesn't tremble?
Ah...!

I forced my own ideas on you and troubled you.
I'm really sorrrry!!

Yomogi is my master. You've done nothing wrong.
No! I am wrong!
What kind of feeling you need to call something "like"

But you should be right too, Yomogi.
In interviews, everyone said their souls tremble.

That's... how do I say it, um... degrees!

I love Onishigu so much that my soul trembles.

Shizuku, it's okay to have all sorts of "likes."
Shizuku, it's okay to have all sorts of "likes."
"I like it all," or "I like this today"—like that.
I see...
There's no need to force yourself to pick.
If you don't have anything you like, "none" is fine!

Yeah. "Our family's Shizuku" can answer

Because here, every answer is correct.

Then, would answering "I still don't know"

Honestly, you're such a high-maintenance subordinate.
Seriously. You even went to try your hand at fishing.
...Thank you.
Just one last thing.
I have something I want to ask you, master.
