That very night. As always, I was using the IC recorder Hinami had lent me to record and listen to my own voice over and over again, repeatedly practising and revising my tone.

However this time, when I was trying to playback the sound, I made a mistake and accidentally pressed the wrong buttons.

「Wait, what? What's this? Did I switch it to a different folder?」

Instead of displaying the usual number [63], indicating the amount of files available, it now displayed the number [781].

Uhhh, what do I do now? How do I change it back?

I tried experimenting by pressing random buttons, but instead of switching back, it started a playback of the recordings in the folder. Crap! It's probably not a good idea to listen to this! I hurriedly tried to press the Stop button but, surprised by the first few words that came out, I involuntarily stopped that hand.

『It’s that kind of thing that got you rejected by Shimano-senpai! Really, younger guys have zero reliab…………hmm, that's not quite right.』

Wait. Is this really what I'm listening to?

『Really, younger ……nn! Younger……Aaーaaーaaー. ……Really, younger ……ugh!』

This was from when she helped Mimimi, Tama-chan and I during that incident in the Home Economics Room.

『It’s because of that kind of thing that that you got rejected by Shimano-senpai! Really, younger guys have zero reliability……okay! ……That was good. Really, younger guys have zero reliability, Really, younger guys have zero reliability……I've got it now.』

That was where the recording cut off.

Since it was a matter of personal privacy, as one would expect, I didn't intend to go so far as to listen to a different recording. However, I had understood well enough from just that. It had been conveyed more than well enough. Exactly what the most amazing thing about this person was. I mean, up until now I'd had a vague idea. But with that recording, I had been granted the opportunity to experience it personally.

The most amazing thing about this person, is how she's trying her absolute hardest to be amazing.

Translator Notes:

If you don’t remember that bit about Shimano-senpai, it’s somewhere in the monstrosity that is Chapter 2 Part 1.
