Bell and ShIka actually came back from buying drinks but found it hard to enter the room when Eimi and Date-chan were having the serious talk. The two head out to the beach. Shika says Eimi actually is thinking a lot about her future. Bell tries to find words not insulting to describe Eimi, ending up calling her cautious. Shika admits she is thinking over her future, for she knows her goal is music, but doesn't know if she should go to universities or vocational schools, work through record companies or streaming platforms. Bell says she understands her feelings as there are too many options and even the defination of "pros" is blurry these days. Shika says she also worries if she can continue after becoming a pro. Bell concurs that becoming pros is just the start - lots of people either get satisfied or lose motivation after becoming pros and simply disappear. Shika wonders if Date-chan is one such case. If Date-chan couldn't do it, then there is no way she can. Bell says they will have to wait until Date-chan wants to talk about it. Bell plans to study Business and Management in college. Shika saya it fits her. However, Bell says it is hard - there is not many schools that also let you take courses in other departments especially Videos and Designs. Shika is suprised, but Bell says those are necessary in order to struggle together with Shika for their whole life. Shika is stunned speechless, so Bell is pouty since that was what Shika asked for. Shika apologies saying she was wondering what Bell will do with music once she go to college. Bell says of course she won't quit, since the Doggos have the Doghouse to revive, and she has Shika to walk the life together too. Bell assures Shika that she will earn money to keep Shika fed. Shika laughs saying she is not Himo (gigolo), and they will earn money together.
Shika says she is suprised that non art or music schools have videos or design departments. Bell says humanities and IT departments have such courses, and education department has music courses. Shika is surprised, and Bell says the syllabus looks fun, with pop culture study, stage play theory etc. Shika says hearing that makes her interested in going to college, and Bell says she has recommended ones for her, and right now they can even go together. Shika worries that her grades are not good enough for Bell's choices, but Bell says she can teach STEM, Eimi can teach her humanities, and Date-chan chemistry... Shika points out it should be English instead. Bell says dirty English filled with slangs is not useful for exams... instead the Doggos should work hard together, even Eimi who likes to pretend she doesn't study. Shika agrees that Eimi is that type of students, but she wonders how Date-chan knows anything since she actually doesn't study. Bell suspects Date-chan has access to Akashic Record. Shika says sasuga DJ. Bell replys not that kind of record, and realizes that when Doggos get together they just get sidetracked without making any progress just like now. Shika concurs, then realizes talking nonsense, laughing together, having meaningless meetings and doing lives until they are grannies is her goal in life. Bell working on abacus, Date-chan dozing off, Eimi saying she has a plan - Bell protests that she doesn't use abacus but Shika shuts her down and says it is the imagery that is important - that she wants to be together with everyone forever, and that is why she wants to become a pro. Shika says it is her selfish desire, and asks others, like Bell, what she thinks. Bell again says she is getting angry now, and tells Shika not to keep confirming with, since she has made the decision long ago. Shika defends herself saying they haven't talked about it in the context of becoming pros. Bell threatens her again, and Shika apologizes that being with Bell forever is irrelevant to the question of becoming pros, just that she hadn't thought about it in the new context. Bell says she forgives her and asks to shake hands for making up. Then Bell says they will shake hands for taking care of each other forever, but Shika says that is not a handshake but a hug.
