Hotaru stands there in shock. "28th? That is a lot more votes then I anticipated...oh wow! I don't really know what to say. I haven't done much yet, I have yet to even... sing but I've made it this high? That's a priveldge within itself! Ah thank you so much!, everyone!! I'll try even harder next time!!"
Hotaru stands there awkwardly. She hardly knew how to react when a member graduates, especially if she hardly knew them. So she proceeded to just watch from afar.
Hotaru glances up from inspecting the table as she drinks her hot chocolate. "Ehehe I guess?"
"Ohhhhhh, naruhodo" Hotaru nods her head. "Hotaki... Hot taki...tako...yaki.... hmmm I'm hungry again..."
*Naruhodo = I get it now / I see
"Okay! I won't be shy!!! I'll try not to be anyway, Karin-san, Aoi san!!!".
"Eh I hope I am ready!!! I'll try my best to not make any mistakes!!!!" Hotaru determinely salutes, then realise weird that was and hung her head in shame.
"Ho-Hotaki?" Hotaru asked surprised.
Hotaru straightens up and spins to look at her, looking bewilded. "I, am, I...what!? I mean... I feel honoured to take your spot, Techi-san!!!" Hotaru stands there awkwardly, feeling all sorts of emotions - from happiness to anxiety to shock.
Hotaru stumbles onto the stage, shaking due to her nerves. "H-H-Hello..I'm Na--Na-Natsuki Hotaru!!!" she squeaks. She blushes a bright shade of red out of embarrassment. The crowd shouts encouragement making Hotaru feel warm within. "Thank you everyone. I think I have a bit more confidence now...".
She takes a deep breath and smiles. "Everyone, are you all doing well?" The crowd responds back with a "I'm doing well!". Hotaru jumps on the spot for a bit. "Ehehe that's great to hear!!! I'm doing well myself just in case you were wondering!!! Hmmm... what should I say... I'm really happy to be apart of the 154.5th generation and really, really, realllly hope you'll be able to see more of me. I'm not extremely confident in my singing abilities but I still try anyway and if you're all here to cheer me on then... I'll go all out and sing the best I have ever done!!!" She does a little twirl and stumbles a bit, but Sasshi helps her catch her balance. "Whoops." she says with a giggle. "I-I think I said enough for one day so... I'm Natsuki Hotaru and I hope you follow my journey throughout my time here!!!" she bows, closing her eyes tightly, hoping she did alright.
