Because I'm An Idol

Characters

Miyamasuzaka Girls Academy - Rooftop
Airi: And why on Earth would we want to help you practice?!
Minori: It's true we've only just met...
Minori: It's just, I've been practicing dancing and singing by myself up until now, so there's still a lot I don't know.
Minori: I know I don't have any right to ask you for help, but I thought if I could learn from such great idols like you that it might help me get closer to my dream!
Minori: I want to keep improving. More, more! So I can become an idol! Please...
Shizuku: .....
Shizuku: I'll help.
Airi: Shizuku?!
Shizuku: You said your name was Minori, right? I'm usually busy with work, so I can only help on my days off. Is that all right?
Minori: Y-Yes, of course! Thank you so much!
Airi: What are you thinking? What about your own work?
Shizuku: You're the one that said it, Airi.
Shizuku: Idols should never ignore those who dream of becoming idols themselves.
Airi: .....
Airi: Sigh... Fine. All I have to do is give a little advice, right?
Airi: But if you fail your next audition, I'm out! You got that?!
Minori: R-Right! Th-Thank you very much!
Haruka: .....
Miyamasuzaka
Haruka: That's great, Minori. I'm glad they agreed to help you practice.
Minori: Yeah! I'm sorry you never got the chance to sit down and read, Haruka.
Minori: What was with that Miku video, though?
Haruka: I have no idea. It sure was strange. Actually, this entire day has been rather strange.
Haruka: So you want to be an idol, huh?
Minori: Yeah! Hehe. Though it feels a little odd telling you.
Minori: You're actually the reason I wanted to become an idol in the first place, Haruka.
Haruka: .....
Minori: My dream is to take all the hope you've given me and pass it on to even more people.
Minori: That's why I need to practice, especially now that I have some coaches! More, more!
Haruka: I see...
The next day
Minori: Hinomori! Momoi! Thank you so much for coming!
Shizuku: Hehe. Hi, Minori. We'll do out best to help however we can.
Airi: I trust you've already warmed up with some stretches?
Minori: Yes! I wanted to make sure I didn't waste any time! I'm all ready to go!
Airi: Well, at least you seem to have the right attitude. One question, though. What is Haruka Kiritani doing reading over there?
Minori: Well, she said she likes it here because it's quiet and not too many people come up here.
Airi: Dance practice isn't exactly a quiet activity, you know.
Airi: That reminds me. How are you with interviews? Initial screenings have nothing to do with dance skills and everything to do with that.
Minori: I-I know! I've got that part down!
Airi: Oh? Let's see how you would start an interview, then.
Minori: R-Right! Hi, my name is Minori Hanasato! My favorite hobby is imitating dance choreography and my special skill is coming up with catchphrases!
Minori: I thought up a new catchphrase for today: Like the seed of a dream which grows into a flower, I'm Minori Hanasato♪ It's wonderful to meet you!
Airi: I give that a two. And that's out of a hundred.
Minori: A two?! What did I do wrong?!
Airi: You failed to give me any clue about what kind of person you are. Your catchphrase didn't make any sense, either.
Minori: Urgh...
Airi: You're supposed to be showing off your strong points. In my case, I'd probably focus on how good I am on variety shows, or my ability to roll with sudden, absurd requests.
Minori: That's true! You've been on more variety shows than I can count! It was always so much fun watching you interacting with the other guests!
Shizuku: .....
Airi: As long as those watching the show think so, that's what matters.
Minori: I'm not really sure what my strong points are.
Airi: From what I've seen so far, I'd say it's that annoying tenacity of yours. Maybe you should focus on that.
Minori: My tenacity? Doesn't everyone work hard, though?
Shizuku: You'd be surprised how many people find it hard to keep working hard at something all by themselves. I agree that could definitely work as a strong point.
Shizuku: I think the fact that you persevered despite failing fifty times could make an interesting backstory.
Minori: I-I guess that makes sense!
Airi: Maybe we should skip the dance practice today and work on your interview and introduction skills.
Airi: And we're not stopping until you're able to do it perfectly!
Minori: R-Right!
Airi: She's certainly determined, I'll give her that. I might be able to have even more fun teasing her than I do you.
Shizuku: Hehe. It makes me think of how you were back when I first started. You were so strict.
Airi: This much is nothing, you know.
Airi: Hey, Shizuku. About that conversation we were having the other day...
Shizuku: .....
Airi: Nevermind... It's been a long day. I'll see you tomorrow.
Shizuku: Yeah... See you tomorrow, Airi.
Airi: Shizuku...
Passerby A: Hey, isn't that Airi over there! Look! It's Airi Momoi!
Airi: !!
Passerby B: Airi, as in the one who's always on those variety shows on tv?
Passerby A: Yeah! She used to be an idol, right? I don't really remember her from outside all the shows, though.
Passerby A: Whatever, let's go talk to her! Huh? Where'd she go?
Airi: Ugh...
