>Learning the value of school after becoming an adult and the importance to make use of your opportunities(44:55)
She reads out a comment stating that he doesn't want to go back to school tomorrow and she pauses for a bit before saying she perfectly understands that feeling since school was a feeling like that, especially after having been on a holiday and the next day was school again. But she says, in the end it is something you have to go to right, like you might feel lucky if by circumstances you don't have to go but in the end, work, school, or whatever it may be, it is something you have to do and it is something you should do as well because right now you might feel that it is a pain, boring, and so on and even Pekora felt the same when she went to school, lamenting over it and wondering why school even exists but at present time she feels like it was good that she did push herself to go. Depending on the time and situation there are times were she feels one doesn't have to force themselves to go beyond reason, like if they are being subjected to something they don't like or if there is a particularly bad feeling with going to school, but if it is just a sense of it being dull or annoying then she thinks they should still go.

She continues to say that adults often say that studying is a good thing and she has come to understand that in particular in regards to English for example, and says that during the time they now have in school they should make an effort to study things like English, and even if she thinks there were a lot of things you won't use that you learn from school, English if anything is something she thinks they will use and while she can't remember what it was that she studied at the time she says that something like just vocabulary is fine if they can memorize, since she thinks it will be important for them once they become an adult. A nousagi says that she said a good thing right there and she laughs and says that it is something that really stuck to her mind since she feels that if she had taken it just a bit seriously then it would have become helpful for her now as an adult when it comes to communicating with her overseas fanbase, the EN and ID branch for example. She reflects on that these are the things you notice once you become an adult, making you wonder why you didn't do X or Y at that time, feeling now that it was a waste not to and that the things you learned at school were important after all. Though she throws out a comment also saying that there were a lot of stuff you learned that you didn't need and laughs.

The conversation leads her into saying that what she is about to talk about is not a topic suitable for trying to catch a shiny Ditto but continues anyways and says that she feels like one should make sure to try and experience all the things you can only experience during your school years, since there are a lot of things you can no longer experience once you become an adult. Because as for Pekora she didn't care about these things and just wanted to hurry up and become an adult, and it is now that she realizes that at the time she was simply just asking for the impossible and that now that she is grown up she is left with the thought that she should have tried to experience these things when she had the chance as she was younger.
This ties up to something she has recently become self-aware about which is that life is a one-time thing so to try and experience the things you are able to within your life, even as a challenge for oneself, is a good thing and something that she has come to want to do.
A nousagi says that he wants to retire already and she laughs at that saying she doesn't know about that since she doesn't have a retirement age and that even as a 111 year old she is still working.

Someone asks if they should learn the map of Japan and Pekora thinks for a bit and asks if this is in relation to the prefectures, and then says that Pekora doesn't know them and she is still living life so you'll be fine without it, the difference is just if you'll be made fun of or not. She continues and says isn't it fine to just remember the place you went on for a trip? But there is no need to learn it all, because there are no people who has learned it all, it is just cheating she says and laughs, then wonders if everyone did memorize it. Knowing where Hokkaido and Okinawa are is fine, and of course if you were to not know where Hokkaido is located then it would be a cause for concern considering how large it is. A nousagi tells her to please learn them all and she laughs and follows his lead saying to everyone to learn it all, since you have to.
