Theme: The joy of making others happy - that’s the goal

After school, in the classroom, Minako let out a sigh while looking into the “ReFa mirror” spread out on her desk.

“Today’s stream just didn’t really get going…”

Then Sayaka, who’s always on top of trends, rushed over.
“Minako, aren’t you always thinking too much about just having fun yourself?”
“Huh, you think so…?”
Sayaka held up her phone. On the screen were fan art posts of The Angel Next Door Season 2, a spring anime that’s been getting lots of attention.
“This show is blowing up overseas too, but the fans are creating this vibe where everyone can enjoy it together. That’s what’s helping it spread.”
Then Kenta showed up, carrying a convenience store bag.
“Here. These are the new Bonbon Drop stickers. If you use them on your stream, they’ll definitely get a reaction.”
“Wow, they’re cute! But… how can I use them in a way that makes everyone happy?”
Yuki joined in too, and soon the desk was covered with stickers and little accessories.
“Senpai, how about letting the viewers choose which sticker to use during today’s stream? Interactive streams are fun!”
Minako’s expression brightened all at once.
“Oh, I get it… It’s about how when there are people who enjoy it, I enjoy it too.”
That night, during the stream:
“Tonight, I’m going to change up my makeup using the stickers everyone chose for me!”
The comment section lit up at once, and a chain of smiles spread.
After the stream, Minako quietly murmured:
“‘The joy of making others happy - that’s the goal’… Yeah, I think I’ll make that my new motto.”
