Momoi Airi/Area Conversation

Miku & Airi (1)
Airi	Miku, I heard you helped Minori the other day. Thanks.
Airi	We were all so busy that we couldn't get to practice after school.
Miku	It was nothing. Rin and I are always practicing just the two of us, so having a third person was fun.
Miku	In fact, we'd love it if you all came one of these days!
Airi	A joint practice? That would actually be great motivation! I'll mention it to everyone when I get back.

Miku & Airi (2)
Airi	Hey, Miku. Do you remember when we talked about a joint practice session a while back?
Miku	Of course! Does that mean...?
Airi	Yeah. I think we've all got time coming up soon. I have a favor to ask, though.
Airi	I'd like to help Minori get some practice up on a real stage. Do you think we could use one of the stages here?
Miku	Sure♪ Rin and I will look around for the perfect one!
Airi	Really? Thanks, Miku!
Miku	Don't mention it! I've been looking forward to this!

Miku & Airi (3)
Airi	Miku, I made a few too many snacks. Would you like some?
Miku	Wow! Thank you, Airi! They're wrapped so beautifully!
Airi	Hehe. They also taste great! I gave some to a friend who's the same year as me, and they said they really like it.
Miku	A friend?
Airi	Yeah. It's pretty tense right now in all the third-year classrooms because everyone's studying for the nationwide mock exam.
Airi	I thought something sweet would help them relax and take their mind off things.
Miku	Oh, I see! Hehe. That's so nice of you, Airi.
Airi	And it was really nice to see them smile...
Miku	(Airi the idol's a wonderful person, but I see now that Airi the high schooler's also a source of hope for others.)
Miku	(It's like she embodies what it means to be an idol. I need to follow her example!)

Miku & Airi (4)
Airi	O-Owww!
Miku	Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to push your back so hard.
Airi	No, Miku, you didn't do anything wrong!
Airi	We've been so busy lately that I haven't had much time to stretch properly. As a result, I've lost some of my flexibility.
Airi	So, Miku! Don't worry about me! Keep pushing as hard as you can!
Miku	O-Okay...!
Miku	(I'm not sure how I feel about it... But for her sake, I need to show no restraint!)
Miku	Here we go...!
Crack
Airi	W-Wait! Owwwwww! Miku, that's way too hard!

Rin & Airi (1)
Airi	Rin, your ribbon is a little crooked.
Rin	What?! It is?!
Airi	Yeah. Let me fix it for you. There, all better.
Rin	Thanks! Hehe. You're like a mom!
Airi	A-A mom?! Couldn't I at least be an older sister? Actually, never mind...

Rin & Airi (2)
Rin	Airi, you always seem so mature and levelheaded. Do you have any siblings?
Airi	Yes, I have a younger sister. I've got an older sister too.
Rin	Wow, three girls?! That sounds nice. You get to be both an older sister and a younger sister at the same time.
Airi	I guess that's true. Being the middle child can be pretty rough, though.
Airi	My older sister can be super strict, too. She's pretty hardcore, like a demon at times...
Rin	Is that why you're always so strict with Minori's lessons? Hey, tell me more about your sisters!

Rin & Airi (3)
Airi	Rin, I noticed that you really like to wave at the audience using both hands.
Rin	Yeah♪ That's my way of telling everyone who came to see me to, “Have fun!”
Rin	But there are only so many ways for me to wave, so I'm wondering if there's anything else I can do.
Airi	How about pointing your fingers, winking or blowing kisses to them?
Airi	You know, gestures and poses that send a little jolt through everyone's hearts?
Rin	I wink and point my fingers sometimes, but I'm still a little shy about blowing kisses...
Airi	That's totally fine. Blushing is another way of putting smiles on everyone's faces!
Rin	Really? Then, I might give it a try during my next show!

Rin & Airi (4)
Rin	One, two, three. Pose! Yeah, perfect...♪
Airi	Hey, Rin!
Rin	Hi, Airi! Welcome!
Airi	I heard from KAITO that you've been practicing a lot harder than usual recently.
Rin	Hehe♪ You're all trying to become top idols, so I really wanna learn to become a better singer and dancer!
Rin	Because if I do, I'll be able to help if any of you get stuck or have questions.
Airi	Rin...
Airi	Hehe. You already smile like a number-one idol.
Airi	So thank you for always being such a huge source of encouragement!

Len & Airi (1)
Len	Airi, can I ask you more about being the MC for a show?
Airi	Yeah, sure. Is this for your next one?
Len	Yeah. Miku and Luka are the main performers, but they asked me to support them by acting as the host.
Airi	Interesting. Being the MC's one thing, but it seems kinda rare for them to have a host for one of their shows.
Len	They're actually gonna battle each other a few times throughout it. So, they need someone to act as a neutral judge.
Len	I sort of have an idea of what I'm supposed to say and do... But I don't wanna go into this without fully committing myself to it.
Airi	That's so professional of you! Then, maybe you can use the hosts of the variety shows I was on as reference.
Len	Thanks, Airi! That'd be huge.
Airi	I'm happy to be able to talk about my experiences as well, so ask me anything!

Len & Airi (2)
Len	Airi, what are you writing in that notebook? New stream ideas?
Airi	Yeah, I was just hammering out the details for some. Mind if I ask for your opinion?
Len	If you think I can help, I'd be happy to.
Airi	Thanks! This first one's called "Which Gives the Best Fortune! Old? New? East? West?"
Airi	You can do fortune-telling based on someone's name, the stars, Tarot cards and a bunch of other ways, right? So, I thought we could try to predict which one gives the best fortune.
Airi	And then, we'll actually test different methods on each other.
Len	Cool! Getting to see all those different fortune-telling methods sounds really fun in itself, but it's great that you've also made it into a game.
Airi	Glad to hear that! Then, I'll keep working on this one a bit more. Now, the second one involves...
Len	(Hehe. Airi sounds so excited. Not only is her idea great, she did an amazing job of explaining it. She really has a knack for this stuff.)

Len & Airi (3)
Len	18... 19... 20... Phew...
Airi	Hm? Where'd you get those dumbbells?
Len	Haruka gave them to me. She said she got some new ones that are heavier.
Airi	She did...? Wait, these weigh 10 kilograms each! Just how much has Haruka been working out...?
Len	I was just as surprised. She said two sets of thirty worked well for her, but I'm struggling just doing twenty.
Airi	Hehe. Don't push your muscles too hard, okay?
Len	Yeah, I'd rather not get hurt. Thanks, Airi!

Len & Airi (4)
Len	Airi, have you gotten used to being here already?
Airi	Yeah, since the sky, buildings and flowers are all familiar sights where we live.
Airi	Actually, I sometimes completely forget that I'm in SEKAI.
Airi	What about you, Len? This place popping up out of nowhere surprised you guys, right?
Len	Yeah, it did. I mean, it appeared so suddenly.
Len	But we quickly realized that it came from all of your feelings, so it means a lot to us now.
Len	It's a nice place to visit when taking breaks during practice and stuff.
Airi	Yeah, it's much more open compared to places with so many stages packed together. I even want to start bringing a pillow so that I can take naps here.

Luka & Airi (1)
Luka	You're so confident speaking on-stage, Airi.
Airi	It must be because I used to go on a lot of variety shows on top of idol-related events.
Luka	That's why you're so good at ad-libbing and responding to the crowd! Your quips are especially quick and witty, too.
Airi	Hehe. Thanks, Luka!
Airi	Those were tough times. Having to drink insanely nasty drinks for losing a game or visiting haunted houses... At least, I learnt up something useful from them.

Luka & Airi (2)
Airi	Hey, Luka. You're not actually in a group with Miku and Rin, right?
Luka	That's right. It's much easier for me to go and see your shows if I stay solo, no?
Luka	We also want to be able to sing as many songs with as many people as possible, so we'd rather not confine ourselves to a mold.
Airi	With as many people as possible, huh? I guess flying solo would make that easier.
Luka	Exactly. But I still usually end up singing with Miku and Rin most of the time♪
Airi	Hehe. I think I get why. That's what friends are for, right?

Luka & Airi (3)
Luka	That girl who went on the picnic with you... Ena, was it? You said you've known her since junior high?
Airi	Yeah. We ended up going to different high schools, but we still call each other to go out shopping together and stuff so we're still pretty close.
Luka	Hehe. I'm guessing you have quite a few friends like that, Airi♪
Airi	Sure, I might have more friends than some people, but Ena's the only person that sort of just lets me relax and be myself...
Airi	We say what we mean to each other and sometimes even argue, but we're honest about everything...
Airi	Back in junior high, we got into fights with each other all the time because of that...
Luka	Oh my. But I'm glad you have such a good friend♪

Luka & Airi (4)
Luka	Airi, for your third year, are you going to keep being a member of the tea ceremony club?
Airi	I plan on staying. However, idol stuff takes priority, so I'm gonna try to go when I can.
Airi	I managed to attend the other day when some new students visited to see what our club's like.
Luka	I see. What did that involve exactly?
Airi	The older students taught the new ones how to prepare the tea. Well, we're not exactly certified instructors...
Airi	But I still did my best to show them what's fun about performing tea ceremonies!
Luka	Yes, they do sound like fun! Would you mind teaching me what you know, Airi?
Airi	Hehe. Of course! I'll bring over bowls, utensils and sweets next time!

MEIKO & Airi (1)
Airi	Hi, MEIKO.
MEIKO	Oh, I guess calling me by my nickname isn't really your thing.
Airi	Huh? I mean, I don't usually call people by their nicknames. I feel a little weird doing it, you know...?
MEIKO	Ah, I see. I didn't mean for you to feel that way or anything.
Airi	No, I'm sorry too. I understand that you want to get to know me a little better, and I appreciate how you've been trying to do that.
MEIKO	Thank you! I'm glad you understand, Airi!

MEIKO & Airi (2)
MEIKO	Thank you for helping me carry everything, Airi.
Airi	All good. It's my way of thanking you for helping me with our training camp.
Airi	Next is this box, right...? Huh? It's really light for its size...
MEIKO	Hehe. That one's full of balloons. Without any air.
Airi	Balloons? Oh, the ones you use as decorations during your shows...?
MEIKO	That and...
MEIKO	We plan on inflating them all ourselves as a lung capacity exercise♪
Airi	A-All of these...?!
Airi	(Miku and the others might get so winded that they end up collapsing... Maybe I should bring them some of those little oxygen tanks...)

KAITO & Airi (1)
KAITO	Airi, I heard that you research what other idols do. I take it you own videos of some of their shows?
Airi	Yeah, of course. Why do you ask?
KAITO	I'm hoping to learn more from other idols about how shows are put on and what they do during their performances.
KAITO	Another way of looking at this is to start incorporating new ideas to keep my own performances from going stale.
Airi	I see... But all of the stuff I have is for female idols. You think that'll still help?
KAITO	Absolutely! We're all idols, so I'm sure our ultimate goals are all the same in terms of spreading hope and whatnot.
Airi	You're right! Alright, I'll bring some DVDs of shows that I recommend you see!

KAITO & Airi (2)
KAITO	Yes, that was good! You looked really sharp throughout that part just now!
Airi	Thank you, KAITO. Still, are you sure I won't stand out in a weird way when I'm standing alongside Shizuku and the others?
KAITO	Hmm... Are you talking about the part where you're supposed to sing?
KAITO	I have a feeling that your fans' eyes will naturally gravitate toward you and be delighted when they see you performing such a cool dance.
Airi	I see... I was a little worried since the dance routine for the song we're practicing now is pretty flashy... Maybe my concern was a bit misplaced...
Airi	But you might be right about fans wanting to see us just be our individual selves during solos.
KAITO	If you're concerned about timing this routine correctly and such, you can make it so the spotlight only illuminates the person being featured during a solo.
Airi	That's true too. Thank you for the advice, KAITO. I really appreciate it!
KAITO	Hehe. You're welcome. And you're always free to ask me about anything that's bothering you.

KAITO & Airi (3)
Airi	KAITO, thanks for helping me out with practice today! I'm really glad you were here since I was hoping to work on my positioning.
KAITO	Not a problem. Dancing with you was very fun, Airi.
Airi	Still, you were dancing to our song. I couldn't believe you already know the routine perfectly.
KAITO	Hehe. Whenever you and the others have fun practicing something, I tend to want to learn it as well.
KAITO	Not just dance routines. I think I've become very good at doing cheers and chants.
Airi	Wait, really? Then, does that mean you cheered back and stuff during our solo show?
KAITO	No, I refrained from doing so that time since we didn't want to be seen by others.
KAITO	Also, it wasn't the first thing on my mind since I ended up completely focused on the stage.
Airi	Oh, I see. Then, you gotta show us sometime what your cheers sound like when you really mean it.
KAITO	Hehe. I'd be more than happy to.

Minori & Airi (1)
Minori	Wow! This stage is huge!
Minori	So cool... Airi, you guys have all been up on stages like this before...
Airi	Yeah, but next time you'll be right up there with us, you know. So stand up straight!
Minori	Right! I'll keep working hard!

Minori & Airi (2)
Airi	Minori, you've been doing really great lately! Your dance moves have all been spot on and I can tell that you've been working on fine details, like finger motions, too!
Minori	Really?! Thank goodness! That means I'm actually improving!
Airi	Of course you are. Why don't you check out some videos of us practicing when we were just starting out? I'm sure it'll be like night and day.
Minori	That much? I think I have them on my phone, so I'll make sure to take a look later!
Airi	(I remember going through the same thing. I hope she doesn't feel too embarrassed about how she did things before like I did...)

Minori & Airi (3)
Airi	One, two, three, four...! Minori, Stretch your arms out more!
Minori	Right...! One, two, three, four!
Airi	(She has so much more stamina now... And she's really learned to exaggerate each move during our dance sequences.)
Airi	(But there's still room for improvement. If we really are going to do a real show, she needs to put on as much stamina as possible.)
Minori	One, two... And turn!
Minori	Huff... Huff... I... I did it! Airi, I did it without missing a step!
Airi	Yeah, that was awesome! Next, we'll do it together, so get ready!
Minori	Wh-What?! B-But I just finished that entire sequence!
Airi	We'd already be moving to the next song if this were an actual show! Do you really want your fans to see you like this?!
Minori	No, you're right! I'll do my best...!
Airi	That's the spirit! Alright, let's do this!

Minori & Airi (4)
Airi	One! Two! Turn there! And... Stick it!
Minori	Stick it...!
Airi	You did it, Minori! Your turn there looked really sharp too! You maintained perfect balance!
Minori	Yay! It only took twenty-three attempts, but I did it!
Airi	Hm? Twenty-three attempts...? You were keeping count?
Minori	Yup! I was trying to see if I could master this in as few attempts as possible!
Airi	Hey, I like that. That's a good way to motivate yourself. Since you, especially, are the learn-by-doing type.
Airi	Alright, let's try doing it together next. I wanna see that you mastering this in twenty-three attempts wasn't a fluke.
Minori	Okay! I can dance it perfectly now, so I should be able to keep up with you just fine, Airi!

Haruka & Airi (1)
Haruka	I always learn something new watching Miku and Rin perform.
Airi	Same. Every single song they do is choreographed so well. They're really good at engaging the crowd, too.
Haruka	Even watching from the side like we do, you can still feel the connection between singer and crowd.
Airi	Yeah, it's really amazing. But we can do that, too!
Haruka	The four of us will put on shows like this for sure.

Haruka & Airi (2)
Airi	Haruka, your group always planned their own performances, didn't they?
Haruka	Yes. We would decide on a theme for each tour, then plan out the set lists and the choreography from there.
Airi	I'm jealous. They moved me over to doing mostly TV before I ever got the chance to do that. But—
Haruka	Now you'll have the chance. The four of us can do it together.
Airi	H-Hey! I know! I was just going to say that!

Airi & Shizuku (1)
Airi	Shizuku, did you see Miku's performance just now?
Shizuku	I did. Their dance matched the song so well, and the choreography was very cute. It was amazing.
Airi	How much practice do you think it takes to get that good?
Shizuku	I'm not sure, but we can't let them show us up forever.
Airi	I agree. I feel like their performance filled me with strength, though. Time to work even harder!

Airi & Shizuku (2)
Airi	That move Miku just did. Is she shifting her weight back to make it easier to quickly move into the next position?
Airi	Something like... Hey, I think that works!
Shizuku	Being able to do that after just watching her is really impressive, Airi.
Airi	I'm not just watching, I'm closely observing. You want me to teach you how?
Shizuku	Really? I'd love that!

Miku, Rin & Airi (1)
Rin	Hey, Airi! What sort of things do idols do when they're still in training?
Airi	Well, at my agency, it was pretty much non-stop singing and dance practice.
Airi	We'd also shadow the more experienced idols and help out as assistants on shows and stuff.
Airi	Working behind the scenes gives you a really good chance to see first-hand what an idol's job consists of and how much work they have to put in.
Rin	I see. Sounds like good training to me!
Miku	Hehe. Seeing things from a different point of view than you're used to can be kind of exciting.
Airi	Yeah. It was really tough, but I feel like the things I learned back then still help me today.

Miku, Rin & Airi (2)
Airi	No matter how often I see you two, you're always amazing. Everything is so perfect, from your outfits to your nails.
Rin	Well, of course! That's because it's our job to spread hope!
Rin	We have to be extra, super careful to always look our best!
Miku	Hehe. She got really upset this one time she got her costume caught and ripped it while on set.
Rin	Hey! Miku, you don't have to tell her that!

Miku, Airi & Shizuku (1)
Airi	Huh? Are you by yourself today, Miku?
Miku	Yep. Rin is rehearsing for a solo show.
Shizuku	She's doing a solo show?
Airi	Oh, I guess you two aren't actually a group, are you? You both do solo work too.
Miku	Yep! Hey, since you're here, how would you like to go watch her rehearse?
Miku	I bet she'd really go all out if she knew you were both here!
Shizuku	Sure, that sounds fun. Thank you for letting us know, Miku.

Miku, Airi & Shizuku (2)
Airi & Shizuku	.....
Miku	Hm? You two aren't fighting, are you?!
Shizuku	What? Fighting? Us?
Miku	Yes, you both look kind of scary...
Airi	Oh, we're practicing our facial expressions while singing and we just finished a particularly difficult song.
Miku	Oh, I see. You had me worried for a moment.
Shizuku	Hehe. Thanks to Minori, we just recently managed to make up. I don't think we'll have an argument for a while yet.
Airi	Yeah. Hey, Miku. Now that you're here, would you like to join us?
Miku	You don't mind? Sure, I'd love to!

Miku, Airi & Shizuku (3)
Airi	(Hm? Is that...?)
Miku	...eight, nine, ten!
Shizuku	You can push a little harder, Miku.
Miku	Oh, you're right... You're so limber, Shizuku. I'm almost completely on top of you now.
Shizuku	I've been routinely stretching for quite a while now... H-Hehe... Hehehe...!
Miku	Shizuku? Is something wrong?
Shizuku	Oh, I'm sorry. Your hair, Miku... It's ticking me... Hehehe...
Miku	Oh no! I didn't notice! Sorry about that, Shizuku...
Shizuku	That's okay. Now, let's switch. Oh, I should keep an eye on my hair as well.
Airi	(Another peaceful day...)
Airi	(Alright, I should stretch for a bit and get myself ready for today's practice!)

Rin, Minori & Airi (1)
Airi	Okay, let's split up and do some solo practice. Minori, make sure to keep those parts you have problems with in mind. Got it?
Minori	R-Right! Let's see, that would be...
Airi	.....
Rin	If you're that worried about her, why not practice together?
Airi	I can't... If I keep doing that, she's never going to learn.
Airi	Besides, I need to be able to master myself before I have the right to teach anybody else.
Rin	I see. Hehe. That's what's so cool about you, Airi!

Rin, Minori & Airi (2)
Rin	Hey, Airi! I hear your teaching style is super strict!
Minori	Ah! Rin, what are you doing?!
Airi	Oh? So that's what you two talk about, is it?
Minori	N-No! I was just telling her that your lessons are rewarding because they're so challenging!
Airi	I see. Then I think I'll make tomorrow's lesson extra rewarding.
Minori	Wh-Wh-Wh-What?!
Rin	You're so lucky you get to practice together. Let me know how it goes next time, Minori!

Rin, Minori & Airi (3)
Rin	Alright, here we...! Go!
Minori	Whoa! You jumped higher than before! Okay, I'm gonna try it...!
Minori	Too!
Airi	Nice! You're jumping higher now too! Looks like your hard work's really paying off!
Airi	So, you've both successfully passed step one! Now, onto step two!
Minori	S-Step two...!
Airi	That's right. Next, you'll be working on strengthening your core so that you can maintain a pose while in the air.
Airi	Once you've gotten through the workout I've come up with, you'll be able to pull cute poses in mid-air without fail!
Minori	Cute poses...!
Rin	Without fail...!
Airi	Anyway, Airi Momoi's Short & Sweet Workout's just getting started, so no falling behind!
Minori & Rin	Yes, ma'am!

Rin, Haruka & Airi (1)
Airi	Shizuku and Minori sure have been acting suspicious lately.
Rin	What? Y-You think so?
Haruka	Yup. You wouldn't know anything, would you Rin? Perhaps something about just the two of them staying behind to practice in secret?
Rin	H-How did you know... I mean-!
Rin	I-I don't know anything! I promised Minori and Shizuku I wouldn't say!
Airi	What an obvious reaction. That was almost too easy...
Haruka	Agreed. I'd feel bad pressing her any further.

Rin, Haruka & Airi (2)
Rin	One, two. Mic check. Sounds good♪
Haruka	Now we're just waiting for Minori, Shizuku, and Miku.
Airi	I'm glad Miku is with them.
Haruka	Yeah. At least we know they won't get lost.
Rin	(They say that, but they still look a little nervous. Hehe. They're both such worrywarts.)

Rin, Airi & Shizuku (1)
Airi	How's the prep for your solo show going?
Rin	Great!
Rin	I'm a little nervous about performing without Miku, though.
Shizuku	I've only ever been up on stage as part of a group, so it's hard for me to even imagine what it must be like.
Shizuku	Performing all by yourself on such a large stage sounds quite intimidating.
Airi	Yeah, but there's only one thing to do in this situation.
Airi	Instead of worrying about messing up, you have to think about how much you want to see everyone's smiling faces.
Rin	Hahaha! That's Airi and her positive thinking for you!
Airi	Well, yeah. A positive smile is always better than a worried one.
Shizuku	Hehe. I suppose that's true.

Rin, Airi & Shizuku (2)
Rin	——♪ ——♪
Shizuku	Oh, you're practicing ballads today?
Airi	I don't hear you do those very often. You usually practice something with more power and energy.
Rin	We're performing that song in our next show. It has a super important role, too.
Shizuku	A role?
Rin	Hehe. Yeah! Its role...is to add balance to the show!
Airi	Ah, I get it.
Shizuku	If you only sing fast songs, the audience will wear out too quickly.
Rin	Yep. The goal for our next show is to give it more of a narrative structure! I can't wait to see how it turns out♪

Luka, Airi & Shizuku (1)
Shizuku	Airi!
Airi	Oh, Shizuku. And Luka? You two seem awfully happy. What's going on?
Luka	We found this really wonderful costume. Here, ta-daa♪
Airi	Oh wow...! Is it supposed to be like a Dahlia? This skirt has so much volume to it too. It gives it a really classy look!
Luka	Yes, it does! Would you like to try it on, Airi? We think it'll look very nice on you.
Airi	Wait, me? Not you or Shizuku, Luka?
Shizuku	Yes, you! Won't you please try it on for us, Airi?
Airi	Hmm... I don't have much experience wearing anything like this...
Shizuku	That's understandable, but we really think you'll look wonderful wearing it.
Luka	Hehe. It even made the needle on my lovely idol sensor move off the scale♪
Airi	Your lovely idol sensor...? What in the world are you talking about...?
Luka & Shizuku	Airi, pleeease!
Airi	Okay, okay. I'll take a leap of faith and try it on.
Luka & Shizuku	Thank you!

Minori, Haruka & Airi (1)
Minori	Miku and Rin always look so dazzling up on stage.
Airi	They sure do. There's always something more we can learn from their singing and dancing, too.
Airi	So today, let's forget about practice and enjoy the show!
Haruka	Sounds to me like you just want to have fun.
Airi	What are you talking about? My entire life is centered around studying how to be an idol.
Minori	Yeah! C'mon Haruka, let's go!

Minori, Haruka & Airi (2)
Minori	Concerts require you to sing for two to three hours at a time, right?
Airi	Yeah. It's not an exaggeration to say they're a test of endurance.
Haruka	I understand that, but what are we doing here?
Airi	You and Shizuku always stand out too much when we jog near the school.
Haruka	Why don't we wear masks, then? That would also make breathing more difficult, which will boost the effectiveness of the workouts.
Airi	I guess that's true, but...
Minori	Haruka, sometimes you sound more like an athlete than an idol.

Minori, Haruka & Airi (3)
Minori	Huh? Is the stage lighting different or is it just me?
Airi	Hm... Yeah, I think you're right. The lights were a little lower the last time we were here.
Haruka	Yeah, Miku says they change everything depending on the show even when they use the same stage.
Airi	I see. I should have guessed that meant they did stage production too. Miku and Rin are amazing.
Minori	Do you think they made any other changes and we just didn't notice?
Haruka	Maybe. Let's see if we can find any. It might be a good learning opportunity.

Minori, Airi & Shizuku (1)
Shizuku	Huh?
Airi	What is it, Shizuku? You're gonna get left behind if you keep spacing out like that.
Shizuku	I was just wondering what that twinkling was off in the distance.
Minori	She's right! See it there? Oh, the color changed!
Minori	I bet those are glow sticks! I didn't realize there were more stages that far away.
Airi	Looks that way. It makes you wonder just how many stages there are in this SEKAI.

Minori, Airi & Shizuku (2)
Minori	Airi, what kind of things do you pay attention to when studying other idols?
Airi	That's kind of a broad question.
Airi	But I guess when I watch concert videos, I like to keep an eye on how the crowd reacts.
Airi	Are they having fun? What kinds of things get them excited? That sort of thing.
Shizuku	That makes sense.
Airi	What are you chiming in for? You've done more shows than either of us.
Shizuku	To be honest, I'm not very confident in my ability to interact with the audience. I could use some tips.
Airi	All right, fine. I'll bring some DVDs for you two that I think make good reference material. You owe me.
Minori	Right! Thanks, Airi!

Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (1)
Haruka	How far do you think the stages go in this SEKAI?
Airi	I'm not sure. There are stages as far as I can see.
Shizuku	How about we go for a jog and find out?
Haruka	Sounds good to me. Will you be all right, though?
Shizuku	I may not be as athletic as you, but I'm fairly confident in my stamina.
Airi	That's not what I meant. I'm worried you might get lost.

Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (2)
Haruka	Hm? That little stage over there looks like the set from a music show I used to do.
Shizuku	You think so too? I was just thinking the same thing.
Airi	Me too. It's not all of them, but some of the stages I've seen feel really familiar.
Shizuku	I know what you mean. Whenever I see a stage that seems familiar, I get this warm rush of nostalgia.
Haruka	It's the same for me. Maybe it has something to do with this SEKAI place being connected to our feelings.
Airi	Yeah. I hope we get a chance to learn more about how that works one of these days.

Minori, Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (1)
Shizuku	Sigh... This part's so difficult...
Airi	You don't have time for any of that! You're the type that learns by doing, so just keep trying and keep going, okay?!
Shizuku	Okay! But how is Minori doing...?
Minori	No...! I tripped over my foot again!
Haruka	You're stepping into it much better now. I'm sure you'll start getting it soon, so let's work on it together.
Minori	Haruka...! Okay, I'll keep trying!
Shizuku	... Airi, praising me might help me improve faster too...
Airi	How can you say that with a straight face? We're not changing anything, okay? If you want praise, go ask Haruka for help...
Shizuku	But... I want you to praise me...
Airi	Sigh... Fine...
Airi	Shizuku, you stumbled during that last sequence, but you also showed off your charm well and it was hard to take my eyes off you. Just keep trying!
Shizuku	Airi...! Okay, I will!
Airi	Alright, alright. You're so easy...

Minori, Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (2)
Shizuku	Minori, thank you for coming up with so many ideas for our stream again.
Haruka	A lot involved activities that our fans will really love too, so we should be set for a while.
Minori	You think so?! Hehe. I'm glad my marathon brainstorming session paid off! I somehow managed to get up to 100!
Airi	Wait, you came up with these all on your own?
Minori	Yeah! All these ideas have been popping into my head nonstop since putting on an event in real life!
Minori	It's also a good exercise for me in terms of coming up with new segments, so I decided to set a goal and go for it!
Airi	Hey, that's great! But we're not about to let you leave us behind.
Shizuku	Yes, I think I'll come up with 100 more ideas!
Haruka	Hehe. If the three of us do that, we'll be up to 400 in total.
Minori	4-400?! That'd be amazing! It's like a year's worth of streams!
Airi	To be fair, we won't be able to use all of those ideas. Still, that many could lead us to striking gold!
Minori	Yeah! I'll try finding ways to improve the ones I came up with by thinking about them a little more!

My Melody & Airi (1)
My Melody	Airi! How can I be more productive at doing things like you are?
Airi	Huh? You want to be more productive?
My Melody	Yeah. I want to be a capable lady.
Airi	Well... If you want to get good at cooking, for example, you should work at memorizing recipes and techniques.
My Melody	Memorizing?
Airi	Yes. You have to remember things like what kind of ingredients to use, how to prepare them in what order, when to make use of seasonings...
My Melody	Hmmm... Would it be bad if I wrote the answers on my arm instead?
Airi	Not necessarily, but will that make you the capable lady you really want to be?
My Melody	Probably not... Okay! I'll try and see how it goes!
Airi	Great! If you have any trouble, feel free to ask me for help!

My Melody & Airi (2)
My Melody	I want to get off this balloon now.
Airi	Really? Hot-air balloons seem so relaxing. Unless... Are you afraid of heights?
My Melody	No. It's very fun to ride, but... I want to be held!
Airi	Oh, so that's your reason.
Airi	Then why not come down when you want me to carry you?
My Melody	Gasp That's a very good idea!
My Melody	Airi! Oh, Airi! I'm coming down now!
Airi	Yes, yes, I'll hold you. You're just too cute to resist.

Rin , Airi, Nene, Kanade (1)
Airi	The foraging team did an amazing job. I wasn't expecting them to gather so much food for us.
Rin	That means we gotta do our best to turn this bounty into some really yummy soup!
Airi	Right! Luka and the others are working on the fire, so let's start prepping our ingredients!
Kanade	Okay. But I'm a little worried since I don't have much experience cooking...
Nene	M-Me too...
Rin	That's okay! I'm no so confident either, but we have Ms. Airi here as our teacher! So, let's all try our best!
Nene	Rin...
Nene	(She's right. No one here can do everything. The other teams are all doing what they can, so we need to also do our best by making some delicious soup for them...!)
Airi	First, cut these wild herbs into pieces this long and put them in the water.
Nene	Okay, I'll give it a-
Rin	Chop, chop, chop♪ In you go!
Airi	Hey, Rin, you're pretty good at this!
Rin	You think so?! Hehe. It must be because I've been helping MEIKO at her cafe! Anyway, what do you need me to do next?!
Nene	Sh-She's really good...
Kanade	It looks like we're the only ones who don't know what they're doing.

Len , Luka , Airi, Kanade (1)
Airi	Let's do our best, you guys! All that's left is to carry these leaves over and use them to make our roof!
Kanade	Huff... Huff... So heavy...
Airi	Are you okay, Yoisaki? Do you need a hand?
Kanade	N-No, that's okay... But I didn't realize how hard it would be to carry over these leaves and vines.
Luka	They are heavy since we need big ones for our roof. Why don't we take a break since we still have a good bit of walking to do?
Len	Then, I'll go fetch us some water. The foraging team just showed me a good clean source.
Kanade	Th-Thank you, Len.
Footsteps
Kanade	(Everyone's so reliable... I wish I could be of more help to them...)
Airi	Oh, Yoisaki! Mind if I asked you to do something for us?
Kanade	Huh? M-Me?
Airi	Yeah! We sorta need to designate someone working just on turning this ivy into rope since we're gonna need a lot. But I'm not very good at handicrafts and stuff.
Kanade	(Oh, I think I can handle that... It certainly sounds less strenuous...)
Kanade	O-Okay. But how do I turn this ivy into rope, Momoi?
Airi	Thanks! Lemme show you how. First, you...

MEIKO , Luka , Shiho, Airi (1)
Shiho	I look forward to working with you, Momoi. You too, Luka and...MEIKO.
MEIKO	Yes, likewise!
Airi	Let's put together the best base we can! I had to do something like this for a variety show that involved living on a desert island, so I can teach you all how to put together a timber frame and stuff like that.
MEIKO	Maual labor's my forte, so let me know if you need someone to do any heavy lifting!
Luka	Hehe. It's so nice to be surrounded by such reliable people. We need to do our best to make the most of our skills and talents.
Luka	So, first of all... Let's start by assigning roles. You're very strong, MEIKO, so I think you should gather all the wood we need for our shelter's frame.
Luka	Airi, you'll need to show us how to actually put it together. Followed by...
Luka	Hm? Is something wrong, MEIKO?
MEIKO	I-I'm sorry! It's just so strange for me to see you taking such initiative, Luka...
Airi	I know what you mean. The Luka I know is a bit more happy-go-lucky.
MEIKO	The Luka I know is asleep most of the time. The second we take our eyes off her, she's in dreamland...
Shiho	Really...? I'm having a hard time seeing Luka do that.
MEIKO	Still, it doesn't feel right to have you not asking me for favors at all. I'll always be happy to lend you my lap to use as a pillow.
Luka	Your lap? Hehe. I'll keep that in mind.

Len , Shiho, Airi, Nene, Kanade (1)
Airi	Guys, listen! The exploration team apparently found a way out of this SEKAI.
Shiho	Wait... Really?
Len	Yeah, and they ran into a dinosaur along the way. Thank goodness they're all back safe and sound.
Nene	A d-dinosaur...?! I'm glad they haven't come to our camp...
Airi	Yeah, since they might've destroyed our shelter. But I'm really glad to hear that we have a way to get back to our normal lives.
Nene	Me too. I'm happy that we can leave, but I'm also a little sad.
Shiho	I get how you feel. We all worked really hard to establish our base camp.
Airi	Building our shelter, cooking for everyone... It wasn't easy, but it was also a lot of fun.
Kanade	I agree. It also ended up helping me get fitter, so I'm glad we were sent here.
Len	Hey, you guys...
Len	Wanna out up some decorations before we have to leave?
Shiho	Decorations?
Len	Yeah. I'm sure the other teams feel the same way as us, so I thought we could do something to make them all smile.
Nene	Yeah, I also want us to keep having fun until the very end
Airi	Then, let's talk to MEIKO and the others about making our shelter even more spectacular! While keep any dinosaurs away from it!

Airi (1)
Airi	Phew, that English quiz was a tough one.
Airi	Shizuku looked like she was having a hard time, too. I'll ask her if she wants to review the material again later.
Airi	We can't use the fact that we're idols as an excuse to ignore our studies.

Ichika & Airi (1)
Ichika	Momoi, how much has Saki told you about being such a big fan of yours?
Airi	Hmm... She's told me a few times about how I was a huge source of encouragement when she was in the hospital. But why do you ask...?
Ichika	Because I vividly remember when she decided to write you a letter for the very first time.
Ichika	Has she ever told you about the eleven drafts she made?
Airi	No, I don't think so.
Ichika	Then, please try asking about that the next time you see her.
Ichika	(All eleven were the same except for being reworded in slightly different ways. And she still wasn't sure which to use when I went to visit her the next month.)
Ichika	(Getting to go to the same school as her hero must've played a significant role in her coming back.)

Saki & Airi (1)
Airi	Hey, you. Your ribbon is about to come loose.
Saki	Oh, thank you. What?! Airi?!
Saki	Oh, um! I used to watch you on TV all the time when I was in the hospital! You always cheered me up! C-Could I shake your hand?!
Airi	I cheered you up...?
Airi	Are you sure you just want a handshake? Oh, how about I sign something? You're welcome to take a picture, too!
Saki	Really?! Are you serious?! In that case, I'll take them all!

Saki & Airi (2)
Saki	Oh! Hi, Airi!
Airi	Hi, Tenma. As peppy as ever, I see!
Saki	Yeah, I feel great! Oh, also! I saw your stream the other day!
Saki	I loved that chat you had about what all of you usually eat! It was really surprising to hear that your family is more Japanese-cuisine oriented!
Airi	Hehe. Yeah, in that sense, you'd expect that Shizuku's family would be the most traditional, but they apparently enjoy having a mix of things.
Saki	Oh, I know what you mean. Shiho really loves Salisbury steak more than anything else!
Airi	Yeah, I bet there's a bit of a split in terms of what everybody likes. What about your family?
Saki	What?! M-My family?!
Saki	Uh... My big brother eats a lot, so it's not really a matter of cuisine. He wants good sources of stamina, like barbeque beef or ginger pork, you know?
Airi	That's so interesting! I guess every household really has its own style.

Saki & Airi (3)
Saki	Airiii!
Hurried Foosteps
Airi	Hey, Saki! You look like you're in a hurry. What's up?
Saki	Well... It looked like you were making your way towards the cafeteria...
Saki	So, um...! Would it be possible for us to have lunch together?!
Airi	Yeah, of course. I was just thinking about asking someone too since Shizuku has to deal with some committee stuff.
Saki	Y-Yay! Thank you so much!
Airi	Also, we should get a move on before they run out of all the good stuff!
Saki	Okay♪

Saki & Airi (4)
Saki	Good morning, Airi!
Airi	Oh, Saki, good morning. You must be full of energy to be running around like that.
Saki	Hehe... I was actually really hoping that I'd get to see you today!
Airi	See me?
Saki	Yes! The horoscope I saw this morning said, “You might get to meet your hero!” Which made me think of you!
Saki	And here you are right as I got to school! I was so happy that I couldn't stop myself from running!
Airi	Hehe. Thanks for counting me as your hero. So, I think you deserve a little reward...
Saki	A reward?
Airi	Alright, ready?! I hope your day becomes even more wonderful...♪
Sparkle
Saki	Whoa...! The Momoi pose and a wink...!
Saki	Thank you so much! I know today's gonna be super duper amazing now!
Airi	Hehe. I'm glad you enjoyed that! Let's both make today a good one.

Minori & Airi (1)
Minori	Humhumhuuum♪
Airi	Minori, I saw you grinning at your phone this morning, too. Have you been like this all day?
Minori	Hehe. I can't help it. Look at this. Samo got a haircut! Doesn't he look so fluffy?
Airi	Wh-Whoa! I can see why you're smiling! Just looking at this makes me want to hug him!
Minori	Right?! I can't wait to get home!

Minori & Airi (2)
Airi	You seem to be in a good mood, Minori.
Minori	Hehehe. The new CD from one of the idol groups I like comes out today! See, this one here!
Airi	Oh, I know them. They're all really nice. I've worked with them before too. We still meet up to get food sometimes.
Minori	Whaaat?! S-Seriously?!
Minori	Um... Y-You don't think you might be able to get their autographs for me, do you?
Airi	That look in your eyes tells me you really want this. Fine, I guess I could ask them for you.

Minori & Airi (3)
Minori	Airi, do you remember that variety program where you had to try and fulfill requests from viewers?
Airi	Of course. I was a regular on that show for a while. What about it?
Minori	Well, I actually liked that show so much that I sent in a request of my own that you would sing with me at my graduation.
Airi	Really? Well, if we work hard enough, it could happen.
Minori	What?! R-Really?!
Airi	It's important to approach everything with the mindset that you're going to at least try. If you don't do that, paths will never open up for you.

Minori & Airi (4)
Airi	Hey, look! There's a cat sunbathing over there! Aww, it's so cute...
Minori	You're right! It has white and fluffy hair like Samo too.
Minori	Wait, that reminds me! Aren't you allergic to cats, Airi? And what about dogs...?
Airi	Huh? What are you talking about?
Minori	I-I have a really big dog at home... If I go near you, your allergies might...
Airi	You dummy. We've been doing stuff together for how long now...?
Airi	Relax, my cat allergies aren't that bad. Dogs don't really bother me at all either, so being around their owners is totally fine.
Minori	Really?! Thank goodness...!
Airi	Oh, you... But thanks for worrying about me, Minori.

Minori & Airi (5)
Airi	Minori, is it me or do you seem more limber?
Minori	Can you tell? I've been copying you guys and stretching lots every day after baths♪
Minori	You also said that flexibility helps keep you from getting injured, especially when we have to change our tempo or shift around a lot, right?
Airi	Yeah, that's right. You'll be able to do more because of that too!
Airi	Since you've been doing so well, Minori, let me show you a secret stretch of mine that's both easy and effective!
Minori	You will? Thanks you so much, Airi! I'm all ears!

Minori & Airi (6)
Minori	"Now, on to our next question. Shizuku, what do you like to keep in mind when you practice?"
Minori	Ahem... "I do my best to stay hydrated, usually with sports drinks. However, I sometimes bring miso soup as well since it's healthy and also contains electrolytes."
Airi	Minori? What are you doing...?
Minori	Eep! A-Airi?!
Minori	Um... Our interview for that magazine's coming up, and I realized I might have the same response as you guys to some of the questions...
Minori	It's not good to give the same answer as someone else, right? Which is why I was thinking of how you'd all respond.
Airi	I see. I appreciate your initiative, but I'm not sure doing impressions of us is necessary...
Airi	Still, your Shizuku was pretty good, so I think I'll go tell her about it.
Minori	No, please don't tell her! I wouldn't know how to face her!

Minori & Airi (7)
Minori	Airi, Honami just gave me some of her home-baked cookies. Let's have them as a group!
Airi	Hey, thanks. In that case, I'd love some.
Minori	Speaking of which, you're also really good at baking stuff.
Airi	Yeah, but I haven't had a chance to lately because of how busy we've been...
Minori	Right... It must take a lot of time.
Airi	That depends on what you're baking. Plus, when I'm letting some dough rise or have things in the oven, I can be working on our streams and stuff.
Airi	Though ideally, I'd be reading a cookbook or just relaxing during that time...
Minori	Yeah, I think I know what you mean...! I'd also rather focus on just doing the thing I enjoy!
Airi	Yes, exactly!
Airi	Nothing else is going on. Those are the moments when I'm at my happiest.

Haruka & Airi (1)
Airi	Ugh... I know it's a student's job to study and all, but getting homework is always so depressing.
Haruka	It's not very seemly to complain to those younger than you.
Airi	I'm not really complaining, I'm just vocalizing the fact that I don't want to do math when I get home.
Haruka	That's called complaining. You know, your homework wouldn't take you so long if you spent a little time reviewing what we do in class each day.
Airi	Ngh... I don't want to hear this...

Haruka & Airi (2)
Airi	Oh, Haruka. I've got club today, so could you let everyone know I'm going to be a little late for practice?
Haruka	Sure. I didn't realize you were in a club.
Airi	Yeah, I'm in the tea ceremony club. I joined after leaving my agency.
Haruka	Did you join just for the Japanese sweets?
Airi	I'd be lying if I said that wasn't part of the reason, but I was actually interested in the ceremony as well.

Haruka & Airi (3)
Haruka	Airi, I came up with a new idea for our stream. Would you mind taking a look at it?
Airi	Sure, let's see it...
Airi	Wait, you said that you'd take it easy yesterday. You weren't lying, were you?
Haruka	No, I went to bed two hours earlier than usual. I got this idea when I was out jogging this morning.
Airi	Okay, if you managed to get more sleep than normal then I don't see a problem...
Airi	Just make sure to keep taking breaks and getting rest when you can, alright? That way, your mind and body will always be 100% ready.
Haruka	Yeah, I'll do that. Thanks, Airi.

Haruka & Airi (4)
Haruka	Airi, you really like cats, don't you? I found these while I was out shopping the other day.
Airi	Wow! These mittens look just like cat paws! How cute!
Haruka	I remember you like to cook, so I thought you might like them.
Airi	Haruka, you're the best! Just wait! I'll find something with penguins on it to repay you!
Haruka	Huh? Hehe. Okay, I'm looking forward to it.

Haruka & Airi (5)
Haruka	Airi, I made some adjustments to that cooking segment we were planning based on your suggestions. Mind giving it another look?
Airi	Yeah, sure. Hey, this is pretty good...!
Airi	So we're supposed to guess what to make based on these incomplete recipes?
Haruka	Yes, I thought it'd be fun since our choices will likely have a clear effect on the end result.
Haruka	You could even get a recipe that tells you what you're making, such as tempura or chili prawns, but not tell you in detail how to make them.
Airi	Hehe. That means it'll be a test of our knowledge, memory and imagination!
Haruka	But it'd still be too easy for you, Airi, so I was wondering if you could do color commentary and make some samples for us in the end.
Airi	I'll probably be taking more jabs at them than commentating... Hehe. That should be pretty fun too!

Haruka & Airi (6)
Haruka	Oh, Airi. Apparently, some of our fans tried making some of those smoothies you blended for us during training camp. Here, they even posted some pictures on social media.
Airi	Hm? You mean the break-a-leg smoothies I made in the hopes that our solo show will succeed?
Airi	Hey, look at that. They even used the same ingredients and proportions as me.
Haruka	This person drank theirs in the hopes that they'll be able to come see our show.
Haruka	Others also made wishes while some simply tried making them for fun.
Airi	I see... If I knew that this was gonna happen, I would've put more effort into making them tastier.
Haruka	Hehe. I thought they were actually pretty good. Oh, why don't we reintroduce them during our next cooking segment?
Airi	Great idea! I'll try coming up with a healthy and delicious beauty smoothie recipe by then!

Airi & Shizuku (1)
Airi	You're usually reading a book. It's not often I see you with a magazine.
Shizuku	Oh, would you like to take a look? I found it in the library.
Airi	Hey, this is the one with me on the cover! I haven't seen this in forever! I still think that's one of my best photos!
Shizuku	I agree. Take a look at the back, though.
Airi	Huh? I remember reading the whole thing, but I don't remember anything in the back. Wait, that's you!
Shizuku	Hehe. We were featured in the same magazine and didn't even realize it.
Airi	No fair! This is the back cover, so why did you get a close-up shot?!

Airi & Shizuku (2)
Airi	Shizuku, would you like to have some of my lunch? I made a little too much today.
Shizuku	Well, since you're offering. Mmm, this is delicious. It tastes great! This must have taken quite some time to make.
Airi	It's best to let it soak up the flavor as it cools. The initial setup takes a bit of effort, but it doesn't take that long. I...
Shizuku	Mmm... The omelette is good, too. And this fried chicken... So delicious.
Airi	H-Hey! Stop eating my whole lunch!

Airi & Shizuku (3)
Shizuku	Airi, are you okay...? Is there something you want to talk about?
Airi	Oh, it's nothing. I saw a cute calico cat on the way here.
Airi	She even came near me, but I couldn't really do anything because of my cat allergy...
Airi	I feel bad for not petting her when it looked like she wanted me to. The look in her eyes...
Shizuku	(Poor Airi... What can I do...?)
Shizuku	Meeoow~♪
Airi	Sh-Shizuku...?!
Shizuku	It felt like I should pretend to be a cat that's here to cheer you up.
Shizuku	Hehe. So how about it? Meeoow~♪
Airi	I appreciate the thought...! But what if someone sees you?!

Airi & Shizuku (4)
Shizuku	Oh, Airi, I'm planning on going to this mall that's out of town next weekend. Would you like to come with me?
Airi	Sure, are you after something...?
Shizuku	Hehe. Look here! What Haruka, Minori and I had at that Japanese confectionary shop is going to be available at this mall.
Shizuku	So I was wondering if you'd like to come try it with me.
Airi	Thanks, Shizuku! The sweets you got me from there were really good so...
Airi	H-H-Hold up...! That was a screenshot of this mall's homepage, right?
Shizuku	Yes! Oh, did I happen to make a mistake?
Airi	No! I mean, you actually took it right!!
Airi	Not too long ago, there was no way you could've done this. But now, you're looking up things and taking screenshots of them...!
Airi	(Is it because she wants me to try this special dessert that much...?)
Airi	Shizuku, let's go! I'll even pay...!
Shizuku	B-But...
Airi	No buts! Think of it as my way of thanking you!

Airi & Shizuku (5)
Airi	...
Shizuku	Hm? Airi, you seem a bit angry. Is something wrong?
Airi	I just happened to see Cheerful * Days on TV this morning, which reminded me of our shoot...
Airi	Yeah, the show got what it wanted, but they could've at least apologized for what happened.
Shizuku	Hehe.
Airi	What are you giggling about?
Shizuku	It's just... I'm so happy that you're standing up for me.
Airi	Shizuku...
Airi	Sigh Oh, you. How can I stay mad after seeing that smile of yours?

Airi & Shizuku (6)
Shizuku	Hehe... I'm so glad that we get to be in the same class again, Airi.
Airi	Wh-What's this all of a sudden...?
Shizuku	Because you're so reliable... You always teach me when I'm having trouble in class and help me find the way when we change classrooms...
Airi	Oh, that's what you meant...
Airi	Shizuku... You're in your third year. You should know where all the classrooms are by now...
Shizuku	R-Right...! I'll do my best to become more independent!
Airi	(That's great and all...)
Airi	(But I can't deny that I might start feeling lonely if she stops relying on me as much.)

Airi & Shizuku (7)
Shizuku	Airi, that's quite a big bag you're carrying.
Airi	Yeah, I brought a bunch of snacks for the tea ceremony club.
Airi	Some new students are stopping by today to see what our club's like, but we sorta brought them in by saying there'd be "yummy snacks." I thought I should make good on that promise...
Airi	Which is why I got a bunch of good ones that I wanna recommend to them!
Shizuku	Hehe. I'm sure they'll enjoy what you brought very much, Airi.
Airi	Anyway, how about the archery club? Does it look like any new students are gonna sign up?
Shizuku	Yes, a few actually have already applied to join. We seem to be getting mostly novices this year.
Shizuku	Some of them start today, so I need to follow your example and make them feel welcome.
Airi	Hehe. That's the spirit! Let's show these new students that they have cool seniors they can look up to!

Airi & Kohane (1)
Airi	Oh, Kohane! Do you have a minute?
Kohane	Oh, Airi, how can I help you?
Airi	Sorry, would you mind delivering this Modern Japanese textbook to Minori for me?
Airi	She decided to read up for class since we had some time left over after our morning practice, but she ended up leaving it up there.
Kohane	Oh, I see. I think she was looking for it just now, so I'll go hand it over to her.
Airi	Thanks. Honestly, I can't believe how forgetful she is sometimes...
Kohane	But Minori's always really helpful during class.
Kohane	And when I had trouble finding my seat during the entrance ceremony, she reached out to me by saying, “I'll help you find it, so can you tell me your name?” That's actually the reason we became friends!
Airi	Really? I didn't know that!
Airi	(Minori probably saw that Kohane was in trouble and couldn't leave her hanging! Way to go, girl! That's what it means to be an idol!)

Airi & Emu (1)
Emu	Hey♪ Hey♪ Spinny-spin! Then it's BOOM and wonderhoy☆
Airi	Y-You jumped that far after skipping and doing a triple pirouette?! How are you able to stay on your feet through all that?!
Airi	Bravo, Emu! A great show from a great performer!
Airi	(Still, how in the world was she able to maintain her balance while moving with so much power?)
Emu	But I actually think you're also really, really great, Airi!
Emu	Whenever I tried doing your Happy Side Steps at the same speed as you, I could never get the shuffle step after that right.
Airi	Oh, you mean the part where you have to switch back? There's actually a bit of a trick to that.
Airi	Why don't we take this opportunity to show each other how to do our respective routines?
Emu	You're gonna teach me the secret behind doing Happy Side Steps?! P-Please, show me the way...!

Saki, Airi & Emu (1)
Emu	Over here♪ Over there♪ Lots of bread everywhere♪
Saki	Oh! Hi, Emu!
Airi	Sounds like somebody's happy. What were you singing just now?
Emu	Hehe. That was my lots of bread everywhere song!
Emu	There's gonna be more types of bread than usual at the school store today and I can't wait to see what I can get♪
Airi	That's right! It's one of those days when they have a special sale for dessert buns, sandwiches and stuff like that.
Airi	There's this really good custard bun that's a little too pricey to sell regularly, so you can only get them during these sales.
Saki	They have those?! Oh, I really wanna try one!
Emu	We might be able to if we hurry! Let's gooo♪
Hurried Foosteps
Airi	E-Emu, wait! Hey! No running in the corridor!

Saki, Airi & Emu (2)
Emu	Airi! Saki! I saw your show from the other day☆ It was super duper amazingly fun♪
Saki	I saw it too! I loved the part where you did the Happy Snacker so much that I made a short clip of it for myself♪
Emu	Oh, that reminds me! I saw some videos of other people copying you♪
Saki	Me too! There was this really adorable one of a mom and her toddler doing it together.
Airi	Oh, really? I had no idea. I haven't actually had a chance to look yet.
Saki	In that case, you should search by using #HappySnacker!
Airi	Wait, there's a hashtag?
Airi	Thanks for telling me! I'll take a look in a little bit!

Saki, Airi & Emu (3)
Saki	Ooh, ooh! Can we have a cheese fondue party next time?
Airi	So cheese fondue will be our follow-up to chocolate fondue. Sounds good, let's do it!
Emu	I'm in too! I wanna eat lots of melty, fluffy, piping hot cheese☆
Saki	Woohoo! I just can't forget that feeling of coating foods in deliciousness to make them taste even better...!
Emu	Yeah, absolutely! I wanna use the power of cheese to transfooorm all kinds of food☆
Airi	(I ate too much chocolate last time, and it was tough getting back into shape... So, I'll go in with a plan this time...!)

Shiho, Haruka & Airi (1)
Shiho	Kiritani, Momoi, thank you for putting on that show for Saki the other day.
Airi	No need to thank us! We did it because we wanted to.
Airi	But it ended up being a pretty simple show since we couldn't rent a space or any equipment, so next time I want to invite her to a real one.
Haruka	Yeah. When we do, Hinomori, I hope you'll also come.
Shiho	Oh... Thanks. Then I guess I'll go when the opportunity comes. I want to see what your shows are like too.
Airi	Hehe, it's decided! We'll do our best to make sure we can give you a great performance!

Minori, Haruka & Airi (1)
Airi	Haruka, you're always so precise in everything you do. It's like you don't have a single weak spot as an idol.
Haruka	You think so? I guess I do tend to do everything similarly to how I would when I was working.
Minori	Yeah, I agree! Your posture is always perfect, you're never late, you exercise and study every day, and you're always so dazzling it's almost blinding!
Airi	Putting aside the fervent fan's assessment for a moment...
Airi	I probably don't have to worry about you, but it's okay to relax sometimes, you know. And you should.
Haruka	I know. I try to do so in my own way, but thank you for worrying about me, Airi.

Minori, Haruka & Airi (2)
Haruka	Airi, is that a daifuku? Where did you get it?
Airi	I saw it at the school store. I love Japanese sweets, so whenever I see them, I just can't help myself.
Airi	Aren't they so good?! Some even change with the seasons. Especially the kinds like neri-kiri! There are so many different colors and decorations!
Minori	Neri-kiri? I've never heard of those before.
Airi	Yeah, it's probably not a name you hear very often. I could explain what they are, but it'd be easier to try some. I can show you a really good shop!
Minori	Really? That sounds great!
Haruka	We'll have to invite Shizuku so we can all go together.

Minori, Airi & Shizuku (1)
Shizuku	Oh, you brought your own lunch today, Minori?
Minori	Yep! I'm trying to save up for a CD I really want.
Minori	Hehehe. But since I made it myself, I ended up filling it with all my favorites!
Shizuku	A lunch filled with your favorites? That sounds nice. Perhaps I should try making some udon to bring for lunch.
Airi	Spaghetti is usually the go-to pasta dish for lunches. But I guess if you really want udon, then go for it.
Shizuku	I think I will! Oh, but if I make a lunch, I should probably make one for Shii as well.
Minori	Oh, good idea! I bet Shiho would love that.
Airi	Don't just go putting udon in your sister's lunch, though. Just because you really like it doesn't mean she does.
Shizuku	Oh...
Airi	That's exactly what you were going to do, isn't it?

Minori, Airi & Shizuku (2)
Airi	Hey, Haruka tells me you have a sibling.
Minori	Yeah, I have a brother in elementary school.
Airi	Which makes you the eldest, huh?
Minori	Hahaha. I don't seem like it, do I? My friends tell me that all the time.
Shizuku	I don't think that's true. I'm the eldest too, you know.
Airi	Now I'm kinda sorry I brought it up...
Airi	I know you're trying to help, Shizuku, but I don't think you're quite getting it.

Minori, Airi & Shizuku (3)
Minori	Hey, look! I bought a snack at the student store and got an extra one as a freebie! It must be my lucky day!
Airi	What's that? Taste the fiery goodness?
Shizuku	Oh, my... That sounds quite spicy.
Minori	Huh? Now that you mention it, the packaging does look pretty red...
Shizuku	It looks mostly red to me...
Airi	I knew it. I figured you couldn't be that lucky.

Minori, Airi & Shizuku (4)
Shizuku	Oh...
Minori	Shizuku? What's the matter?
Shizuku	Listen carefully. You can hear the sound of birds chirping.
Minori	You're right! It sounds so pretty.
Airi	Oh, that's right. You really love small birds, huh?
Minori	Hey, doesn't Shiho have an app that lets you raise pets on your phone? I guess you and your sister both like animals.
Shizuku	Yes, we do! Someday, I hope we can raise some small birds and rabbits together.

Minori, Airi & Shizuku (5)
Minori	Hmmm...
Airi	Whoa, you two, hold up. What's with the serious expressions?
Shizuku	Oh, Airi! Minori and I were just trying to come up with some stamps we could use for our scheduling app.
Minori	They just added this feature where you can make your own! Come join us, Airi!
Airi	Hey, that sounds like fun. Don't mind if I do.
Minori	You select your brush here, and you can add shapes here. We were actually just trying to turn Samo into a stamp!
Shizuku	But it's so difficult to capture his fluffiness...
Airi	I see. Then... I'll place a circle here and use the brush to... Wait, no! Is it just me or is it really hard to draw lines using just your finger...?!
Minori	I know, right?! That was also giving us a lot of trouble just now...!
Shizuku	Which is why we still haven't finished drawing him...
Airi	Grr...! But we can't give up here. We're gonna finish making our Samo stamp no matter what!
Minori & Shizuku	Yeah!

Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (1)
Shizuku	Oh? I don't see you with your nails done very often.
Haruka	Yeah. My mother is actually a nail stylist. She always tries out her latest designs on me first.
Haruka	She says the theme this time is a pink and gray gradient that's meant to not be obtrusive while at school.
Airi	(I bet Ena would love this sorta thing!)
Airi	Which nail salon does your mom work at? I know a friend who would love to go.
Haruka	Oh, I can send you a link to their website later.
Airi	Great, thanks!

Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (2)
Airi	You know, for a junior student, I feel like you can be pretty casual around us sometimes.
Shizuku	Oh, that's right. You act so much older that I sometimes forget you're still a first year student.
Haruka	If my speech is not to your liking, I'd be only too happy to defer to you, Ms. Airi.
Airi	Now it just sounds like you're making fun of me for bringing it up.
Haruka	I would never do any such thing. I'm sure you're just imagining things.
Airi	Actually, forget I said anything. This just feels weird.
Shizuku	I agree. I think I would prefer it if you didn't change.

Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (3)
Shizuku	Haruka, Airi, do you have a moment?
Airi	Hm? What's up?
Shizuku	It's about today's practice. I was thinking about going to archery club, so I might be a little late.
Airi	Oh, is that all? Don't worry about it. Go have fun.
Haruka	Yeah. We're most likely going to be practicing yesterday's routine, so we don't all need to be there.
Shizuku	Thanks, you two.
Shizuku	I'll see you after archery practice, then.

Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (4)
Airi	Archery looks so cool, but I hear it takes a lot of practice before you're even able to draw the bow.
Shizuku	Yes, there are quite a few people who find it difficult.
Haruka	How about you, Shizuku?
Shizuku	It did take some time, but working hard and improving a little every day is the sort of thing I enjoy doing.
Haruka	Hehe. You and Minori are both the type to keep plugging away at something, that's for sure.
Airi	Well, as long as you're having fun. Keeping up with club activities as well as idol lessons sounds really tough to me.
Shizuku	Thank you for worrying about me, Airi.
Shizuku	I'd like to take advantage of the opportunity to be part of a club as long as I'm in school.

Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (5)
Shizuku	"It is important to make the purpose of your correspondence as clear as possible." Yes, I see...
Haruka	What are you reading, Shizuku?
Shizuku	Oh, Haruka, Airi! Hehe. This is a book on how to write business emails.
Shizuku	You and Airi handle most of that for us currently, Haruka, so I thought that I should learn how to as well.
Airi	That'd help a lot. At the same time, I'm not sure you need that book. I feel like you can write those kinds of emails just fine already.
Airi	I mean, you got a hold of that one creator and asked them to use my song from way back when.
Haruka	That's right. Etiquette's important, but it's always better to express how you actually feel instead of using a boilerplate response.
Shizuku	Hehe. That's very true. Then, I think I'll focus on learning how to use all these different functions. For example, attaching files and understanding what "barbeque" means.
Airi	Wait, barbeque? What are you talking about?
Haruka	Oh, are you talking about the BCC function...?
Airi	You only got the B right! Geez, I'm starting to get worried. Alright, I'm gonna help you learn this stuff.
Shizuku	You will? I really appreciate it, Airi!

Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (6)
Haruka	Airi, it sounded like your class had a lot of fun during P.E. today. We could hear you all from our classroom.
Airi	Yeah, it was fun... But for sort of a dumb reason.
Haruka	Huh?
Airi	Well, we were playing handball... But everyone started playing without really going over the rules.
Shizuku	I even ended up running towards the goal while carrying the ball.
Airi	Yeah, your own team's goal.
Airi	You definitely took more than four steps and came this close to an own goal. Our class had a field day with that one.
Airi	To be fair, it wasn't just Shizuku. We couldn't stop cracking up because everyone kept coming up with bloopers left and right.
Haruka	That explains why it sounded like so much fun. I wish I'd been there.
Shizuku	Hehe. Everyone from class said they want to try doing it again sometime since it was such a good time.
Airi	I'm good. Making constant quips at everyone was exhausting...

Airi, Shizuku & Mafuyu (1)
Airi	Hi, Asahina! How's it going?
Mafuyu	Momoi, Hinomori, hello. Are you two about to have lunch?
Shizuku	Yes, that's right. Are you as well, Asahina? If so, would you like to join us?
Mafuyu	Thank you for the invitation. I happily accept.
Airi	Great! I was hoping that we'd get a chance to chat more.
Mafuyu	You were? Thank you. But I'm not sure how much I can bring to the table.
Airi	We can just shoot the breeze. Maybe you nearly overslept the other day, or were given a pop quiz...
Mafuyu	Oh, actually... We just had a pop quiz during English. The grammar questions were a little difficult...
Shizuku	Really...? We have the same teacher, so our class may also be given one.
Mafuyu	I still remember all the questions... Would you like me to tell you?
Airi	That wouldn't be fair to anyone else... How about a broad overview of what we should know?
Shizuku	She's right. Our studies are our individual responsibility.
Mafuyu	Hehe. That's very admirable of you both. In that case, it broadly covered...

Ichika, Saki, Airi & Ena (1)
Airi	Alright, let's kick off our first meeting as “Youthful/friends”, the band that's all about enjoying our adolescence! Let's start with you, Saki, since this was your idea!
Saki	Okay! I'm Saki Tenma, a first-year at Miya Girls! I'll be on the synthesizer and I am really glad to be here! I'm hoping that we get to have a lot of fun while showing our youthfulness together!
Ichika	Um... My name is Ichika Hoshino. Saki and I have been friends since we were little, and I'm also a first-year at Miya Girls. I'll be playing guitar and can play a few Miku songs. I'm looking forward to working with you.
Airi	I'm Airi Momoi, a second-year at Miya Girls. I'll be playing the bass, and I'm sure you already know but I'm also an idol.
Airi	However, I'm really glad you asked me to be here since I've been wondering what it's like to be in a band.
Saki	Hehe. You always found a way to put a smile on my face when I was in the hospital, so I've been meaning to ask you if I ever got the chance.
Ena	That just leaves me. My name's Ena Shinonome. I'm a second-year at Kamiyama High and attend night school there.
Ena	Airi and I have known each other since junior high, and I ended up here after she asked me to join. I'm still working on my drumming, but I'm also looking forward to this opportunity...
Ichika	Thank you, Shinonome.
Ena	Hey, we're in a band now. Why don't we just call each other by our first names?
Ichika	I'd like that, Ena!
Ena	(I feel so out of place hanging out with younger girls from that school for rich kids...)
Airi	Now that we're done introducing ourselves, let's get down to wholeheartedly enjoying our adolescence!
Saki	Yeah♪

Minori, Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (1)
Airi	We managed to book the rehearsal studio, so that's where we're going to practice today.
Shizuku	It's been a while since we practiced in a studio.
Haruka	That's another reason to make good use of it!
Minori	Yeah! Hehehe!
Airi	What's that dorky smile for?
Minori	I'm just really happy, and kind of proud? That I get to practice with all of you every day.
Minori	It's like my hard work has paid off, and here I am now!
Airi	What are you talking about? It's only going to get harder from now on.
Haruka	Cut her some slack, she knows that. Right, Minori?
Minori	Sure thing! You can bet I'll give it my all today too!
Airi	You said it. Let's make this a really hardcore session.
Shizuku	Hehe. I won't fall behind.
Shizuku	Um... So where exactly is this studio?
Airi	I thought you were leading us there but you don't even know the way? Sheesh, follow me!
Haruka	Hehe... Come on, Minori, or they'll leave us behind.
Minori	Sure!

Minori, Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (2)
Beep
Minori	Oh, Shizuku sent me a reply! Let's see... <I got up before my mom came to wake me today.> I'll add a smiley-face stamp at the end too...
Beep
Shizuku	Oh, already. Minori's always so quick to respond. And what a cute stamp! I'll send one too. Let's see, I go here and...
Haruka	...
Airi	Uh, Minori, Shizuku... I want to talk about the chat group we made for the four of us...
Minori	<Oh, okay! I'm sorry about falling asleep on you last night.>
Beep
Airi	That's all good. Staying up late is bad for the skin anyway...
Shizuku	<What would you like to...?> Oh no, it got cut off again. <Sorry about...>
Beep
Airi	Time out, Shizuku! You don't need to keep sending stuff if you know you're gonna keep making typos like that...!
Airi	Plus, we're all right here, so can't you just tell us?
Minori & Shizuku	<Oh, right...!>
Minori	Y-You're right! I'm sorry, it's just so much fun to play with all these stamps!
Haruka	Minori has so many too.
Shizuku	Yes, she does. I'd like to learn how to use them too, but it's also just so much fun trying to pick out the right one...!
Airi	No, you need to work on your typing skills before you start using any stamps...!
Airi	And more to the point, message each other when we're not literally right next to each other!

Minori, Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (3)
Airi	Okay, have we all picked out a movie for the “Recommended Films” segment we're gonna be doing during our next stream?
Minori	Of course! Here's mine! It's a coming-of-age movie about a track and field team called “A Rainbow on the Track”! It brought me to tears because it was so good!
Haruka	Oh, Fujimiya from “IRIS RINK” is in that. It was her first time acting, but she did such an amazing job that she seemed like a completely different person compared to her usual on-stage persona.
Shizuku	I've seen that movie too. It's such a wonderfully heartwarming film.
Shizuku	But I believe my choice is also no pushover. Here! It's “Zom-Zom-Zombie and the Search for His Family”.
Airi	Oh, that one! It's the animated film about a zombie boy who literally falls apart as he searches for his parents and siblings, right?!
Airi	I've been meaning to watch it since my little sister and her friends said they were so moved by it.
Haruka	Oh, I've never heard of this movie before, but it sounds nice.
Shizuku	It really is. The moral of this story reminds you of just how precious your family is. By the way, Airi, what did you choose?
Airi	Here's my pick! “Nobody's By My Side”
Airi	It's a mystery that involves the protagonist meeting this strange and lonely adolescent, and you slowly learn more about them as the story progresses. It's a great story with a really heartrending finale...
Minori	Oh wow! Mystery movies always seem kinda scary, but I might really enjoy this one if its story really is that touching.
Haruka	Finally, my selection. I'd like to recommend a movie called “Inferential Friends”.
Haruka	These two girls are the dual protagonists and they're very close friends. However, they're both prone to jumping to the wrong conclusion, which causes the story to unfold in a really unexpected way.
Airi	Nice! I don't think any of us were expecting you to pick a comedy, Haruka.
Shizuku	I agree. I can't wait to see what it's like.
Minori	Me neither! Let's hurry over to Shizuku's place and watch them all!

Minori, Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (4)
Minori	Training was really hard, but our camp was so much fun!
Airi	Yeah, I'm glad we were able to get some new swimsuits too. Unfortunately, we ended up focusing so much on training that we didn't really get to feature them.
Shizuku	That's right. When do you think we'll get to wear them next...?
Haruka	For a stream? That's hard to say, but we could go somewhere in private together. Like the pool or a water park, maybe?
Minori	Oh, that sounds fun! We should totally go!
Shizuku	Yes, I agree! We used to go as a family fairly frequently when I was little, but haven't been to one in quite some time.
Airi	Yeah, same... I've only gone for work and stuff, so it'd be nice to just have fun for once.
Minori	Does that mean...?!
Airi	Let's go when we need a little break.
Minori	Yay! Which one should we go to? Oh, somewhere that has lots of yummy food! Also, an amusement park!
Airi	Slow down... First, we gotta get in a good practice today!
Minori	R-Right...
Haruka & Shizuku	Hehe.

Minori, Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (5)
Minori	Sigh I'm so jealous of you, Airi.
Airi	Of me? Why?
Haruka	You have a big sister, right? We were just discussing how nice it must be to have siblings, and it turns out that Minori's always wanted a big sister.
Minori	Yeah, because having a big sister means going shopping together and having someone help pick out clothes for you...! And someone to help me with my homework!
Airi	Hmm... Mine doesn't exactly fit into that mold. What about you, Shizuku? You seem like the type who enjoys doing big sister stuff.
Shizuku	Well, I've helped Shii with her homework a few times, but I've hardly ever helped pick out clothes for her...
Haruka	To be fair, you and her have very different tastes in terms of clothes.
Minori	Y-Yeah... Hmm... Am I seeing big sisters through rose-colored lenses?
Haruka	I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. I've always wanted a big sister too.
Shizuku	Oh, then... Why don't Airi and I try filling those roles for you two?!
Minori	Whoa! That'd be great, Sis!
Airi	That was fast... You're already calling her “Sis” too.
Haruka	Hehe. This sounds like fun. How about it, Sis?
Airi	H-Huh...?! This feels so weird!
Shizuku	Really? Having so many little sisters would make each day so much fun! Hehe♪

Minori, Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (6)
Minori	Oh, look! We got a DM with an offer about promoting a product!
Minori	It says, "Lucky Meat Burgers! Zero calories because you're just that lucky!"
Haruka	Zero calories...? For being lucky...?
Airi	Seriously, quit reading these kinds of DMs. You know this one's just another scam, right?
Shizuku	I agree. However, if what they're saying is true, those hamburgers sound very interesting...
Minori	Haha... Yeah... It came with supplemental documents, so I was hoping that just maybe...
Airi	Lemme see... Ten patents pending? Soon to be approved by a famed culinary researcher?
Haruka	Hmm... I'm having a hard time finding a part of this offer that isn't suspicious...
Minori	Sigh That's too bad. I thought it could help turn my fortunes around since I'm so unlucky...!
Airi	Anyway, I'll send them a polite response saying that we'll pass...
Shizuku	Yes, please do.

Minori, Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (7)
Minori	Hehe...
Airi	Minori's giggling while looking at her phone...
Shizuku	What are you watching, Minori?
Minori	It's a video of Samo! We watched the episode of iHaz where we appear together and... Look!
Haruka	Hehe. He's right in front of your TV. His nose looks like it's about to touch the screen...
Shizuku	Oh... Is he comparing the real you to the person he's seeing on the screen?
Airi	The real Minori's right next to him, but he's hearing her voice coming from somewhere else.
Minori	Yeah! He has such an amazingly adorable personality!
Minori	Oh, also! When Shizuku was answering Arisa's questions, he didn't wag his tail at all. He just sat there and watched really intently.
Haruka	Does that mean he was moved by the way Shizuku handled that situation?
Shizuku	Hehe. If that's the case, I'd like to thank him somehow.
Minori	Then, wanna come over to my house? It's been a while since you last did and we still need to discuss our next stream!
Shizuku	Are you sure? Thank you, Minori.
Airi	Hehe. I think we're all looking forward to seeing Samo again.

Minori, Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (8)
Airi	I know we don't have practice or work after school today, but we should still try to use that time productively.
Shizuku	Yes, I plan on going to archery practice for a change.
Haruka	Minori and I will be having a study session.
Shizuku	Oh, do you have a quiz coming up?
Minori	No, I just wanna get used to studying on my own while I can!
Minori	You have to do a lot of independent learning in the credit-based course, right? That's why I'm trying to get a little head start.
Airi	Wow, I like your thinking. I was planning on coming up with some ideas for our stream today, but maybe I'll try fitting in a little studying beforehand.
Shizuku	Oh, in that case, I'd like to join you.
Airi	Then... Shizuku, I'll stay at school and work on stream ideas while you're at archery club. Then, we can study together in our classroom afterwards. How does that sound?
Shizuku	Thank you, Airi! I really appreciate it.
Haruka	Hehe. Sounds like we're all going to have a productive afternoon.

Minori, Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (9)
Minori	Hmm... Why did this happen...?
Shizuku	Is something bothering you, Minori?
Minori	Oh! No, nothing's bothering me...! I'm just having some trouble understanding why this revolt happened in Japanese history.
Haruka	Oh, they covered that in class while we were at work. I wasn't sure how it happened either.
Airi	The teachers tend to give verbal explanations to supplement the explanations in the textbook, so it's tough to pick up on what's going on if you miss a class.
Minori	Sob What do I do in these sorts of situations...?
Shizuku	Well... The easiest thing would be to ask a classmate to show you their notes. If that's not possible, I usually end up asking the teacher myself.
Airi	You can try looking up what happened by going to the library, but that can take forever. I think your best bet is to ask the teacher.
Minori	Right...! Then, I'll go ask for help!

Minori, Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (10)
Minori	Sigh Am I gonna be okay...?
Haruka	What's wrong, Minori?
Minori	So, I'm supposed to teach my juniors in the animal caretaker committee how to look after the rabbits. But I don't know if what I'm gonna say will make sense to them...
Shizuku	Hehe. I'm sure you'll do just fine, Minori. Just the other day, you did a wonderful job of giving me directions.
Airi	Yeah. But if you're that worried, wanna try practicing what you're gonna say?
Minori	Practice?
Airi	Yeah, we'll pretend to be your juniors, so you try to teach us something as our senior.
Minori	M-Me teaching all of you?! As your senior?! I don't even know where to start!
Haruka	Hehe. This sounds like fun. I'd like to try being your junior for a change, Minori.
Minori	H-Haruka?! You too?!
Haruka	Please show us the way, Minori.
Minori	Sh-Sh-Shank you for giving me this amazing opportunity!
Shizuku	Oh... Hehe. Now you're speaking formally.

Minori, Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (11)
Minori	It's been so long since we last got to have a nice, relaxing lunch together like this.
Haruka	We were basically spending all of our free time checking over our schedule and replying to emails.
Airi	Yeah, but that weight's been lifted off our shoulders.
Shizuku	Hehe. And it's all thanks to Saito for agreeing to become our manager.
Haruka	Now that we can focus all our attention on being idols, we'll need to raise the quality of our performances.
Shizuku	I agree. I'd like to work harder than ever on practicing singing and dancing moving forward.
Minori	Alright, we're gonna keep getting better and better and better as the new and improved MORE MORE JUMP!

Minori, Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (12)
Minori	It really rained a lot this morning, so I'm super glad that things cleared up before we had to go to work. Eep...!
Shizuku	Huh? Minori?
Airi	What's wrong? Why did you jump all of a sudden?
Minori	Sob A raindrop fell on the back of my neck...
Haruka	It did just clear up a second ago.
Shizuku	Are you okay, Minori? Would you like to borrow my handkerchief?
Minori	No, I'm fine. Thanks for offering, Shizuku.
Airi	Still, Minori, what are the odds of a random raindrop falling directly onto the back of your neck?! Also, you get a perfect 100 for that reaction!
Minori	That doesn't make me happy at all!
Haruka & Shizuku	Hehe.

Haruka & Airi (1)
Haruka	Airi, what do you usually do for a disguise when you go out?
Airi	Sunglasses and a hat, I guess. Sometimes I'll wear a mask, too. That's usually enough. What about you?
Haruka	I usually just put on some glasses. I feel like I get recognized less if I don't stand out.
Airi	Really?! I can't believe that works!
Haruka	Well, I still get recognized sometimes. But if I'm going to get recognized, it's less embarrassing if I'm not obviously wearing a disguise.
Airi	Well, when you put it that way... Now I'm starting to get embarrassed about my elaborate disguises!

Haruka & Airi (2)
Airi	Hey, look over there! That cat is cleaning itself! Isn't it so cute?
Haruka	Yeah... I wish I could see penguins around town like this.
Airi	I know how you must feel, but that would definitely cause a scene.
Haruka	Hehe. I suppose that's true.

Airi & An (1)
Airi	Wait, An, you're an only child? I totally thought you had younger siblings since you seem so dependable.
An	I do? I really appreciate you saying that since you also seem like the dependable type, Airi.
An	But in your case, you actually have siblings, right?
Airi	That's right. A big sister and a little sister.
An	With you in the middle... That means you get to enjoy the best of both worlds since you're simultaneously a big and little sister!
Airi	Hehe. True. But I also kinda wish I had a little brother alongside my little sister.
An	A little brother?
Airi	Yeah. I sometimes get kinda jealous of Ena and Akito whenever I see them together.
An	I get Ena... But Akito as a little brother?
Airi	He's your teammate, so it might seem like a foreign concept.
An	It does. I mean, a little brother with that kind of attitude...
Airi	(Hehe. She's saying the same thing as Ena.)

Airi & Akito (1)
Akito	Oh...
Airi	Hey, Akito! Long time no see! It's good to see you!
Akito	Thank you. Momoi, I heard that you formed a new group and returned to being an idol...
Airi	Yeah, a lot happened between when I quit and now. I ended up making my family, friends and fans all worry about me too...
Airi	And come to think of it, Ena never really brings any of that up when we talk. Is she just trying to be nice or something?
Akito	Oh, yeah... I guess so...
Airi	I knew it. Sorry, I didn't mean for it to be so awkward.
Akito	No, it's okay. I should be the one apologizing for the way she usually behaves.
Airi	Don't worry about that. She's been able to help me out a bunch already because of that!
Airi	(At the same time, Akito's such a good little brother.)

Airi & Kanade (1)
Kanade	You're an idol, right Momoi? It feels strange walking alongside a real celebrity.
Airi	Hehe. I know what you mean.
Airi	Even now, whenever I find myself standing alongside famous personalities and stuff, I still think to myself, "I really get to do a shoot with them?!"
Kanade	Oh, I thought you were used to being around them.
Airi	That's the thing! I'm not! Especially when there's a really big name in the room! My heart always races like crazy!
Kanade	I never would've guessed...
Kanade	(I have such an easy time talking to Momoi for some reason.)
Kanade	(Mizuki said how she's a household name, but I think I have a little better understanding of why now.)

Airi & Ena (1)
Ena	Hey, Airi, I was thinking about going on a little diet. Do you have any suggestions?
Airi	A diet? But you look great... I really don't think you need to...
Ena	But I think I gained a little weight...
Airi	Just a tiny bit compared to normal, right? I don't think dieting's the right solution...
Airi	You should be more worried about your usual lifestyle choices. If you don't straighten that out first, no diet is ever gonna work.
Ena	Oh... So maybe I should have a little less during each meal and...
Airi	No, start by cutting back on junk food! Wait, hold that thought... That means we can't go to that cake shop...
Ena	You're right, forget dieting! We're getting cake right now!
Airi	Hehe. That's more like it!

Airi & Mizuki (1)
Airi & Mizuki	Oh...!
Airi	Hi, Mizuki! Were you about to go somewhere?
Mizuki	Yeah, I was just about to go around looking for this CD of anime songs I've been after...
Airi	Go around looking...? Oh, because every shop gives different freebies?
Mizuki	Exactly! I'm impressed, Airi! You really know your stuff!
Airi	Yeah, because it's sorta the same for idol CDs.
Airi	Mind if I tag along? I'm kinda curious to see what kind of freebies people would like.
Mizuki	Okay! Then, off to our first shop♪

Minori, Haruka & Airi (1)
Minori	Right side, clear! Left side, clear!
Haruka	What are you doing, Minori?
Airi	The light's green, you know.
Minori	I'm not checking for cars, I'm staying vigilant.
Minori	In case either of you get mobbed, I'm making sure I have a clear evacuation route so I can get you both to safety before you panic!
Haruka	I feel like the first one of us to actually panic...
Airi	...Would definitely be you, Minori.

Minori, Haruka & Airi (2)
Airi	Minori, Haruka, stand there for just a second. Um, a little closer. There!
Camera Shutter
Haruka	What was that for, Airi?
Airi	Hehe. Here, look!
Minori	Oh, the flower field on the screen behind us makes it look like we're actually there!
Airi	I have a friend who's really good at taking pictures for social media. I wanted to try out one of her ideas.
Minori	That's cool! Can I try, too?!
Haruka	All right. I'll stand right here, then.
Minori	What?! I-I get to take a photo of Haruka?! Hehehe! I'll make sure you look perfect!
Airi	Minori, you'd better stop grinning and take the picture before the screen changes.

Minori, Airi & Mizuki (1)
Airi	Thanks for agreeing to help out at the cafe the other day, Mizuki.
Mizuki	It was my pleasure♪ Not only did I get to wear that adorable uniform, I'd been wanting to try working at a cafe for a little while! I had a lot of fun!
Minori	I'm really glad to hear that!
Minori	Oh, by the way my manager told me that you were such a great help and wished that you didn't have to leave.
Airi	Yeah, despite never having worked in food service before, you took orders like a pro and learned how to decorate all their sweets in a flash.
Minori	I know, right?! It took me so long and so many tries to get everything down. If anything, I want you to tell me your secret!
Mizuki	Oh, stop. You know praise won't get you anywhere with me.
Mizuki	(My original plans only involved buying that asset and wearing their uniform...)
Mizuki	(But I got to lend Airi and the others a hand when they really needed it. I'm so glad I decided to help...)

Airi, Shizuku & Ena (1)
Ena	Thanks for waiting, you two!
Airi	We actually just got here... Huh? That eye shadow you're wearing...
Ena	Yeah, it's by Colore Mi. I've been using it a lot lately.
Shizuku	It looks very good on you. Oh, you also matched it with your lip gloss.
Ena	Hehe. Can you tell? This is also one of theirs. The color and shine are so good that I don't even have to edit my selfies!
Airi	Okay, we get it. You really need to thank Kohane again for giving you those.
Ena	Yeah, I want to repay her somehow... Do you two know what sort of stuff she likes?
Airi	What she likes...? Singing, photography... That's about all I know.
Shizuku	Would you like me to ask Shii when I see her? She'll probably know since they're quite close and were in the same class together last year.
Ena	They were? If you could, I'd really appreciate it.

Ichika, Saki, Airi & Ena (1)
Saki	Whew... Another exhausting day...
Ena	I know, right...? Honestly, Airi, you're a total tyrant during practice...
Airi	Of course I am. We're here to make the most of our adolescence, so we gotta give everything we do 100%.
Ichika	I agree. Why don't we choose a reward for when we “complete all of our practice goals”?
Ena	Yeah, I like that. Is there anything you girls want to do?
Ichika	Yes! I'd like for us to go see a Miku concert together!
Airi	Yeah, a concert sounds great! This other idol I know just formed a new group, so it'd be great to go see their release event!
Saki	I wanna go camping in the mountains or go down to the beach since it's finally starting to warm back up. How about you, Ena?
Ena	Hmm... Nothing immediately comes to mind...
Ena	My little brother's been having fun with some new hobbies lately, so I've been thinking about raining on his parade a little.
Airi	Rain on his parade...? Never a dull moment for Akito, huh?
Airi	Anyway, I'm sure we all have a big list of things we want to do!
Saki	Yeah! I wanna do all of them while I'm still in high school♪
Ichika	All might be a bit much...
Ena	No, she's right. This is a case of whoever has the most fun wins.
Airi	Exactly! So let's keep making the most of the time we have!
Airi	Youthful/friends, are you with me?!
Saki & Ichika & Ena	“Yeah!”

Minori, Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (1)
Minori	Alright, let's rest and relax as much as we can today!
Shizuku	Yes, let's!
Airi	Wanting to get a real break-in is great and all, but you might want to keep your voice down. Everyone around us can hear you.
Haruka	Hehe. But I've been looking forward to this too. It's not every day you get to go to stores specializing only in cotton candy and caramel apples...
Minori	I know, right?! But why did you choose these places in the first place?
Airi	Shizuku and I got some cotton candy and caramel apples when we went to the Summer Festival. It sort of reminded us how good they are.
Shizuku	And we decided to look for a suitable substitute since the two of you weren't able to join us then.
Haruka	You did all this for us? Thank you very much.
Airi	Don't mention it. Besides, someone else tipped me off to this caramel apple place, so I've been meaning to go too.
Airi	So let's try to have as much fun as we can today!
Haruka	Okay! Hehe.

Minori, Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (2)
Minori	We can stay over at the MORE MORE HOUSE if we need to in the future, right?
Airi	Yeah, it'd definitely make going to early-morning shoots a lot easier... Also, we could just sleep there if we stay up late working on something instead of having to head home in the middle of the night...
Shizuku	Hehe. Are you looking forward to having sleepovers at the MORE MORE HOUSE, Minori?
Minori	I mean, it's like one of those training camp locations I've seen in documentaries! It'll be so fun!
Haruka	It has a full bathroom, so we could conceivably stay there... But that means one room would sort of have to double as a sleeping area.
Minori	Oh, what if we got some mats we can lay down?! We could all sleep together in a row like during our other training camp!
Airi	You sound way too excited about that prospect...
Shizuku	I understand how Minori feels. It would be a bit of a special occasion.
Haruka	I agree. It'd also be easy for us to turn that into a pajama party stream, so we could try having a sleepover in the near future.
Airi	Yeah, it could work for one of our streams. Since you're this excited about it, Minori, how about you put this idea in writing for us?
Minori	Roger! For the sake of our sleepover!

Haruka & Airi (1)
Airi	Nice work today! When's the last time it was just the two of us on set?
Haruka	It's definitely been a while. But I always feel better knowing you're there, Airi. And I'm glad things went so smoothly. It sounded like they got the footage they wanted.
Airi	Hehe. That means a lot coming from an idol as influential as you, Haruka.
Airi	Anyway, wanna stop by a cafe or something and have ourselves a little after-party...?
Haruka	Oh, sorry, I'd love to... But I was actually hoping to head back to school.
Airi	Wait, now...?! You'll probably only make it in time for the last class.
Haruka	I know, but I want to attend whatever classes I can. I've just gone back to being credit-based, so I'm still not sure I'll be able to get back into my old studying routine...
Airi	I see... When you put it that way, I can see why your word carries so much weight...
Airi	In that case, I'll go with you! As your senior, I'm not about to let you hog all of the academic glory!
Haruka	Hehe. I wouldn't worry too much about that.

Airi & Shizuku (1)
Airi	Oh, I came to this karaoke place a long time ago to film a variety show.
Shizuku	You did a show here?
Airi	Yeah. It was a surprise show where we barged into rooms of groups singing our songs and started singing with them.
Airi	It was really fun surprising the fans and performing right there in front of them.
Shizuku	Hehe. That does sound fun. I wonder if the four of us will be able to do that someday.
Airi	Dunno. I hope we get the chance, though.

Airi & Shizuku (2)
Airi	Alright, Shizuku, wait right there. I'm gonna go buy this hand towel.
Shizuku	Okay. I think I'll go take a look at that little shop down this alley in the meantime.
Airi	Stop right there! Not another step, Shizuku!
Shizuku	Huh?
Airi	Don't give me that! You'll definitely end up lost somewhere by the time I get back!
Airi	So please, just wait right here! We can check out that shop together once I'm back, okay?
Shizuku	Okay, I'll wait. It'll be more fun to see what they have together anyway.

Airi & Shizuku (3)
Shizuku	Thank you for waiting, Airi...! Sorry for being late.
Airi	All good. We can't meet in our usual spot since we're checking out a new shop today. More importantly, good for you, Shizuku! You made it here on your own without getting lost!
Shizuku	I have my secret weapon to thank for that.
Airi	Secret weapon? What's that?
Shizuku	Ta-daa. It's a map with a navigator that speaks. It tells me exactly when to turn and such, so it's really handy.
Airi	Wait, a navigator that speaks...?!
Shizuku	Yes! I can't believe how much of a difference it makes. It's perfect for someone like me who has trouble with electronics and reading maps♪
Airi	Yeah, I guess you won't have much trouble using it. At the same time, I'm worried that this is gonna turn into a crutch after learning so much already about using a smartphone...

Airi & Shizuku (4)
Shizuku	Oh...! Airi, wait. Can we stop and take a look at those for a second?
Airi	Hm? These capsule machines? What about them?
Shizuku	The "Purrrfectly Snug♪" Series cats they have on the right... Shii has a few of them in her room and I'd like to get her a little souvenir.
Airi	"Purrrfectly Snug♪"...? Oh, these? Wait, huh...?!
Airi	Wh-What?! These are way too cute! I mean, this one looks so comfy that I think my heart's gonna melt away!
Shizuku	Hehe. Would you like to also give it a try, Airi? I'll trade you the comfy kitty I managed to get it.
Airi	Really? Then, I think I'll give it a go too! By the way, Shizuku, which do you want for her souvenir?
Shizuku	Well, I was thinking the one staring mischievously at an orange would be nice...
Airi	Got it! I'll do my best to get that one!
Shizuku	Okay...!

Airi & Emu (1)
Emu	Oh! That fluffy pink hair... It's gotta be...!
Hurried Footsteps
Emu	I knew it! It's you, Airi! Wonderhoy!
Airi	Hey, Emu! Were you out shopping?
Emu	No, I actually heard about this shop that makes these bear-shaped cookies and came to have a look on behalf of the Emu Expedition Team!
Airi	Bear-shaped cookies...? Oh, you mean “Bear Stamp Honey Cookies”...?
Airi	I was just about to have a look myself. Mind if I join you on your expedition?
Emu	Yeah, of course! Let's go check it out, Private Airi!
Airi	Alright, Captain Emu, lead the way!

Airi & Ena (1)
Airi	Whoa. I thought this would be early enough, but the line is already really long.
Ena	This lipstick is only being offered in a limited quantity. I hope we can actually get one.
Airi	I think they're doing a sort of raffle with numbered tickets. We should at least stick around and try.
Ena	I guess you're right. I already went to the trouble of getting up early. Besides, it's been forever since we were able to catch up.
Airi	Yeah! There's so much I want to chat about! Like, there's this underclassman I recently met at school who's really interesting!
Ena	Really? Tell me everything!

Airi & Ena (2)
Ena	It's so windy today. It makes me want to stay at home.
Airi	You've always preferred staying at home, though.
Ena	Hey, it takes a lot of work to get my hair just right. I don't want to ruin it.
Airi	Yeah, but what's the point of styling your hair if nobody ever sees it?

Airi & Ena (3)
Ena	Long time no see! Thanks for the invite!
Airi	And thank you for coming on such short notice. I was hoping to get your help. I'm trying to teach a friend at school how to do her makeup.
Ena	Did you bring some pictures of her?
Airi	Sure did! Let's go find a place to talk.
Ena	There's a really good pancake place nearby. Let's go there!

Airi & Ena (4)
Airi	That creme brulee crepe was so good!
Airi	A crispy caramel with fluffy whipped cream all wrapped up in a soft crepe... You can't beat it!
Ena	I know, right? I saw it on social media a while back and have been meaning to try it for so long.
Airi	Thanks for telling me about this, Ena! I think I'll bring Shizuku and the others along the next time I visit.
Airi	And to return the favor, why don't I show you this accessory shop I discovered recently?
Ena	An accessory shop?
Airi	Yeah. It's all handmade, so no two things are alike. Apparently, this person makes them as part of their hobby but they look professionally made!

Airi & Ena (5)
Ena	Your streams have been doing really well lately. I especially liked the one where you guys did a clothing swap.
Airi	Oh, you saw that?! We had so much fun with that we're planning on doing a part two!
Airi	But it wouldn't be much fun to use the same clothes, so we sort of need to find some different clothes for next time.
Ena	Hmm... You swapped clothes after forming pairs last time so...
Ena	Oh, I know! What if you all picked in order like a draft? If more than one person picks something, you could just decide who gets it by drawing straws...!
Airi	I see. A fashion draft... Yeah, I like it! I'll bring it up with the others to see what they think!
Ena	Yay!
Ena	(Hehe. If they use my idea, I can brag about it with Mizuki.)

Shiho, Airi & Shizuku (1)
Shizuku	Hehe. It's always so nice to run into you while you're out shopping, Shii♪
Shiho	Really...? I mean, we just had breakfast together not too long ago.
Airi	That part of you never changes, huh, Shizuku? Anyway, Shiho, what were you up to?
Shiho	I just went to the instrument shop to buy some sheet music.
Airi	That's cool! We just stopped by a trinket shop that was having its grand reopening.
Airi	Check out these super cute cat plushies! I was only planning on grabbing some daily necessities, but I couldn't not get them.
Shiho	...! Th-They really are cute...
Airi	See what I mean? It's like they're staring right back at you with their big, beady eyes...!
Shiho	Yes, and they're so fluffy. I really like this material...
Airi	I know, right?! Also...
Shizuku	You two are having too much fun without me. Please let me join your conversation.

Minori, Haruka & Airi (1)
Minori	Hey, Haruka! Airi! Look! There's a kitten.
Airi	Oh, it's a cute little calico!
Haruka	Are you going to be all right, Airi? You're allergic to cats, aren't you?
Minori	Oh, that's right! Are you okay, Airi?!
Airi	I'm allergic, but I just end up with itchy eyes and a runny nose. Besides, we're not really close enough for it to affect me.
Minori	Oh, thank goodness.
Airi	Thanks for worrying about me so much, Minori! You too, Haruka!
Airi	Ha... Why do cats have to be so cute, though? It's so unfair that I can't pet them.

Shiho, Minori, Haruka & Airi (1)
Minori	Oh, Shiho! What a coincidence!
Shiho	Huh? Shizuku said that you were all going out together today. Hold on, does this mean that she...
Airi	Yeah, she's lost somewhere. She even just sent us a message saying that she's running late.
Shiho	Well, at least she let you know...
Haruka	But oddly enough, she sent a Thank You stamp right after that.
Minori	Hmm... If only she knew how to use her map or GPS...
Airi	Hey, I tried teaching her to absolutely no avail. She just runs around in circles just trying to figure out which direction to face.
Shiho	Geez...
Haruka	Then why don't we just call her? That's probably our best option at this point.
Airi	Yeah, let's do that.
Shiho	I'm so sorry about all this...
Airi	Hehe. It's all good! Just leave her to us!

Minori, Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (1)
Minori	I'm glad everyone could make it today.
Shizuku	I've been really looking forward to going out together too.
Airi	So much so that you've been spamming me with messages about it late at night.
Shizuku	Yeah, I was very excited for today.
Airi	I get that, but I was just trying to get some sleep, you know? But every time I tried to end the conversation, you just kept dragging it out.
Shizuku	Really? You kept replying, so I thought you wanted to talk more...
Haruka	Hehe, that's so like Airi. She's too polite to just leave you hanging.
Minori	Haha, totally.
Minori	Oh, by the way! We haven't created a group chat for us yet!
Haruka	We should do that. It'd be useful for communicating stuff like where and when we're meeting.
Shizuku	That's a great idea! We can always stay in touch! It'll be fun chatting with you all tonight.
Haruka	Hehe... We're all here right now, but you're already thinking about chatting with us online later?
Minori	It'll be great! We'll get to talk so much more about everything, and we can arrange when we all go to SEKAI together and all that!
Airi	That may be nice, but lack of sleep is really bad for the complexion, so I don't want to stay up too late, okay?
Minori & Shizuku	Got it!

Minori, Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (2)
Airi	Remember how Shizuku and I went to have a meeting about that radio program? The producer apparently has a daughter...
Airi	And she's a huge fan of yours, Minori!
Minori	What?! Me?!
Haruka	Hehe. That's great, Minori.
Minori	Y-Yeah...! Wow... That's so nice to hear!
Shizuku	Hehe. As it turns out, she can't stop talking about how cute and amazing you are after watching our streams.
Minori	Really?! Hehe... I can't help but feel a little embarrassed...
Haruka	That means she must be looking forward to hearing you on the radio.
Minori	Y-You're right! Then, we need to do our best to make it a really fun program!

Airi (1)
Airi	Hey! When did they get all these new tops in stock?!
Airi	I was only planning on buying accessories today, but I guess it couldn't hurt to check out some prices...
Airi	Oh, these are still within budget! Hehe! When you see something you like, you've got to snatch it up!

Minori & Airi (1)
Airi	This place always has the cutest accessories.
Minori	Do you come here often, Airi?
Airi	Yep. It's great for finding cute items at reasonable prices. See, look at this one. Isn't it cute? And check out the price...
Minori	Whoah! So cheap! I haven't even been paid yet, and I can still afford this! Oh, here's another really cute one! They have multiple colors, too!
Airi	Slow down! Just because they're cheap doesn't mean you can go crazy! You have to plan and be smart with your money!

Minori & Airi (2)
Airi	Hey, that shop sells traditional Japanese sweets. I've got to stop on the way home!
Minori	Oh, that's right. I forgot you really like Japanese sweets. I remember you talking about it on TV!
Airi	You remember that? They change with the season and always look so cute. And their taste just speaks for itself!
Minori	I think you also mentioned something about eating so much that you gained a bunch of—
Airi	Y-You don't always have to remember every detail!

Minori & Airi (3)
Minori	Airi, you said there's something important you wanted to tell me?
Airi	We had to have this conversation eventually, and this seems like the right time to do so...
Airi	I'm talking about disguising yourself!
Minori	What? But you've shown me a few tricks already...
Airi	Not so fast... Those tactics were all at the basic or intermediate level.
Airi	Today, I'm gonna teach you some more advanced stuff!
Airi	I'll teach you methods to deal with various situations you might face, like how to alter your disguise after someone recognizes you!
Minori	Whoa! Th-That sounds really cool!
Airi	These techniques are based on experiences that I and those around me went through! They're very practical, so be sure to remember them!
Minori	Of course! Please continue!

Minori & Airi (4)
Minori	Oh, Airi, that reminds me! You gotta hear this!
Airi	Wh-What's getting you so worked up all of a sudden...?
Minori	Remember how we had our heights measured for that shoot the other day? Guess what?!
Minori	I grew a whole centimeter!
Airi	Hey, that's great. Most people don't expect to keep growing at this age.
Minori	Exactly! That's why I'm so happy! Pretty soon, I'm gonna be as tall as Shizuku!
Minori	So, I'm thinking about trying on some more mature or ladylike clothes today! The kind that she wears♪
Airi	You sound pretty confident that you're gonna keep growing...
Airi	Still, there's nothing wrong with aiming high. Never change, Minori.

Haruka & Airi (1)
Airi	What? You've never gone shopping at the mall before?!
Haruka	No... The only time I've ever been here is for events.
Airi	W-Well I've been here for work more often than I come for fun too! I think...
Haruka	(Is this some sort of competition?)

Haruka & Airi (2)
Airi	Hey, Haruka. Are you out shopping too?
Haruka	Yeah, I came to pick up some fashion magazines. Airi, you're... Wow, that looks like a lot.
Airi	Yup. All ingredients and cookware for baking sweets!
Airi	Remember how I made that cake for Valentine's Day? I've sort of been obsessed with baking since.
Airi	I even made plans to bake something with my dad and little sister tomorrow.
Haruka	Hehe. That sounds like fun. Baking, huh...?
Airi	Oh, are you interested? I can tell you about some low-sugar recipes if you like.
Airi	You always do great whenever you cook for our streams, so it should be a piece of cake for you.
Haruka	You think so? In that case, I'd like to know more.
Airi	Okay! I'll make sure to pick out some good ones for you!

Airi & Shizuku (1)
Shizuku	I didn't know there was a general store here. Hm?
Shizuku	Airi, look at this pen. It gives off a scent when you write.
Airi	Huh. They make all sorts of pens, don't they?
Shizuku	How interesting. Oh, I know. I'll write something on my hands. That way they'll smell nice all day.
Airi	Just use some hand cream if you want to do that!

Airi & Shizuku (2)
Airi	The athletic shoes should be... Oh, here they are! Nice, they have a good selection too!
Shizuku	Yes, they really do. Maybe we should start shopping here for them from now on.
Shizuku	We've gone through so many pairs already since we practice so much each and every day.
Airi	Hey, that means we're practicing just that much.
Airi	Each pair we go through sort of represents us taking a step towards making our dreams come true, right?
Shizuku	Our dreams...? Hehe. Yes, you're right.
Shizuku	Then to make them come true faster, I think I'll buy ten pairs right now.
Airi	Hey, were you not listening to what I just said? I said each pair we go through, not buy.

Airi & Ena (1)
Airi	Hey, this blush...
Ena	Wait, you're going with that color? I'm sure it'll look good on you, but it's not something I'd expect you to get.
Airi	No, it's not for me. I thought it would look good on Minori.
Ena	Oh, yeah, it probably would. This bright color really suits her.
Ena	At the same time, it's also a really deep hue. She'll need to balance it out with her other makeup somehow...
Airi	Yeah, that's the thing. Hmm... If I'm gonna recommend this to her, I might also get her some eye shadow and lip gloss to go with it...
Airi	Ena, mind if we look around a little more?
Ena	Hehe. Sure. Let's find the perfect makeup for Minori!

Airi & Mizuki (1)
Airi	Thanks for coming today, Mizuki! You helped me pick out a great new outfit!
Mizuki	Oh, you're more than welcome♪
Mizuki	I got my fill of eye candy too. I've been wondering how you'd look in Goth or Lolita clothes!
Airi	Hehe. I've been wanting try on some stuff like that too.
Airi	But I'm not sure I'd wear them that often, so it's a little hard to pull the trigger. I feel like all those frills and stuff would make me stand out way too much...
Mizuki	Heh heh heh. There's a store that's just for you then, miss. One with Lolita fashion that you can use as everyday clothes...!
Airi	Wait, really? Maybe just a quick peek...
Mizuki	Great! Right this way, miss♪

Minori, Airi & Shizuku (1)
Shizuku	Oh, here's a plain handkerchief. I can use this.
Minori	You don't like patterns on your handkerchiefs, Shizuku?
Airi	No, that's not it. She just really likes embroidery.
Shizuku	That's right. I buy plain ones like this and sew designs and words into them myself.
Minori	Really? That's cool! Oh, hey! Do you think you could make one that says MORE MORE JUMP?
Shizuku	Hehe. Of course. If I'm going to do that, I might as well make a matching set of four.
Airi	Great idea! I can't wait!

Minori, Airi & Shizuku (2)
Minori	Ngh... I can't believe I'm going shopping with Shizuku and Airi! I-I'm so nervous!
Airi	You're still not over that? We're just a couple friends out shopping.
Shizuku	Oh, I have an idea. What if we wore disguises?
Airi	What? Why?
Shizuku	That way Minori wouldn't be thinking about the fact that it's us with her and she wouldn't be so nervous.
Minori	Um... That works, I guess.
Airi	Don't pretend like that makes sense!
Airi	And you, Shizuku! Stop making dumb jokes! I don't even know how to respond to this one!

Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (1)
Shizuku	Airi, you sure bought a lot today.
Airi	That's true. I wasn't planning on buying so much, but I'm still within budget!
Haruka	Oh, you decide on a budget before going shopping?
Airi	Of course. I even have a little book where I keep track of all my spending.
Haruka & Shizuku	.....
Airi	Wh-What?! Why do you both look so surprised?!

Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (2)
Airi	Hm, this one looks good too, but the ingredients...
Haruka	You look so serious. What are you looking at?
Airi	I'm looking at facial masks to help me relax after I get out of the bath.
Shizuku	Hehe. Airi really loves her skincare and haircare.
Airi	Well I am an idol. Taking care of myself is part of the job.
Airi	Okay, I'm going with this one! Hehe, I think I might even try it out tonight.

Airi, Shizuku & Ena (1)
Shizuku	Thank you for today, Ena. Going shopping with you was just so much fun.
Ena	Yeah, I had fun too.
Ena	But I feel like we've been doing stuff together a lot lately. Isn't this taking time away from streaming and practicing...?
Airi	Oh, don't worry about that. We're already practicing every day anyway.
Airi	Plus, it's important to take breaks like this so that we can turn off, you know? There's this one girl in our group who has to actually make an effort to take time off...
Shizuku	Yes, so we all agreed to make sure that we all periodically take breaks like this.
Ena	It takes effort to take time off? Being an idol sounds so hard.
Airi	To be fair, she's an extremely special case. She absolutely loves being an idol and does everything she can to not disappoint her fans.
Shizuku	Yes, she does. She even surprised me when she mentioned that she runs each morning and evening.
Airi	Not only that, she even trains and works out on her own, right? She's been doing it for years too, so she really is just something else.
Ena	Y-Years?!
Ena	(Wow... Idols really are all people who can stay focused even when there aren't any cameras around. I don't think I could ever do what they do...

Airi, Tsukasa & Mafuyu (1)
Airi	Sigh Shizuku always gets lost and disappears the second you take your eyes off her!
Airi	Thanks for helping me look for her, you guys. I'm glad we bumped into each other, but I'm also really sorry...
Tsukasa	Nonsense! I'm always happy to lend a helping hand! Even more so since this is Shizuku we're talking about!
Mafuyu	I agree. I'm worried as well.
Airi	Thanks, you two... If only she'd respond to my messages. That'd make it so much easier to find her...
Phone Ringing
Airi	Wait, she's calling! Hello? Where are you right now?
Tsukasa	Oh, she's trying to reach you herself for a change! Good for her!
Mafuyu	Hehe. I knew that she wasn't great with electronics, but I did hear recently that she's gotten better at searching for things online and using map apps.
Tsukasa	Wh-What?! She can do those now?! She's grown so much..!
Airi	Thanks for waiting! You gotta hear this! She was comforting a little girl who got lost and managed to find her mother. She said she's on her way over now.
Tsukasa	Ah, so Shizuku wasn't lost after all!
Airi	Tenma, Asahina... Thank you both so much for helping me look for her.
Tsukasa & Mafuyu	You're welcome.

Minori, Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (1)
Shizuku	Hm? These clothes look just like the ones you sometimes wear, don't they, Haruka?
Airi	Yeah, she's right. But they might suit Minori better in this color.
Minori	Really? Wait...! If I buy this, I'll be able to wear pretty much the same outfit as you, Haruka?!
Haruka	Hehe. Whenever you wear that, I could match you by...
Haruka	Oh, I know. What if we swapped clothes sometime? That could be fun too.
Minori	What...?!
Haruka	Some things may not work since we're not all quite the same height, but I have a feeling that our fans will really enjoy seeing us in each other's clothes.
Minori	M-M-M-Me wearing H-Haruka's clothes?!
Minori	That's way more than just matching outfits...! What if that turns me into her?!
Airi	I really doubt that's going to happen.
Shizuku	Hehe. But you might get to take a little walk in her shoes, no?
Shizuku	Oh, Airi! I'd love to try being Happy Everyday!
Airi	Huh? I guess lending you my mask is easy enough...
Haruka	Then, why don't we do this for our next stream? Hehe. We'll need to get a good assortment of outfits ready for it too.
Minori	Yeah!

Minori, Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (2)
Minori	First-prize... For all of us... Alright, Minori Hanasato, it's now or never! Please!
Haruka	Oh, it's white.
Shizuku	That's too bad...
Minori	B-But!
Airi	I've never seen anyone get so hyped up about a drawing like this before... I guess that's also one of your best qualities, Minori.
Minori	Haha... First-prize was tickets to an aquarium, so I really wanted to win it... Maybe saying it out loud wasn't a good idea...
Minori	More importantly, I was hoping that we could go feed the penguins together...
Haruka	Minori, you don't have to win something like this to go to the aquarium.
Airi	She's right. Why don't we all take a day off from practice to go check it out?
Shizuku	Yes, I'd love to go feed the penguins too♪
Minori	Y-You mean it...! Thank you so much!
Haruka	Hehe. Why don't we stop by this cafe to sit down and discuss when would be best?
Airi	Yeah, let's do that!

Airi (1)
Airi	Oh! They're doing a promotional event for this new idol group!
Airi	I've never heard of them before, but they sure can dance. They look so enthusiastic, too. It just makes me want to cheer them on.
Airi	All right, I've got to pick up a copy of their album!

Minori & Airi (1)
Minori	Airi, you've been up on stage in stores like this one before, right?
Airi	Yeah, way back for the release of our first single. Hehe. I still remember it.
Minori	Your first promotional performance must be really special then, huh?
Airi	Yeah. For us, it was the first time we performed in front of an audience, too.
Airi	Everyone's standing right in front of you, so there's not really enough room for a fancy performance, but that also means there's no chance of faking it if you make a mistake.
Airi	I was really nervous at first, but seeing the smiles on everyone's faces helped me relax and really have fun.
Minori	That's sounds great. I hope MORE MORE JUMP! gets to do a promotional performance someday, too.

Minori & Airi (2)
Minori	New Generation Idol Audition.
Airi	Something wrong with this audition, Minori?
Minori	Oh, I've applied to this audition before. It's actually the first time I've made it past the initial screening.
Minori	I didn't make it past the second phase, but I feel like it was the first time I was able to show the real me.
Airi	I know what you mean. I failed my first audition too, and that's an memory I'll never forget.

Haruka & Airi (1)
Airi	Hey, I feel like I've seen the idol on this CD before. You know, from that one group...?
Haruka	They've been appearing on TV more and more lately. I remember the lead for that group being rather outspoken, but charming at the same time...
Airi	Outspoken but charming... Oh, I remember now!
Airi	They stormed out of an audition I was in after the interviewer asked all these really nasty questions!
Haruka	Wow... Sounds like a very headstrong person...
Airi	I know, right? I didn't expect them to make it as an idol at first, but I guess they found a better agency...
Haruka	Yeah, maybe.
Airi	Hehe. I'm gonna pay homage to them by buying this CD!

Airi & Shizuku (1)
Airi	Oh, that concert DVD. Is that...?
Shizuku	Yes, it's one of the girls who started with us. I was surprised to learn she's already doing shows this big.
Airi	You make it sound so extraordinary. We'll play there one day too, you know.
Airi	No, we're going to be performing on stages even bigger than this one!
Shizuku	Hehehe. You're right. The four of us are going all the way.

Airi & Shizuku (2)
Airi	Hey, this is your dad's band, isn't it?
Shizuku	Yes, I think so. I'd heard they did a reprint recently.
Airi	That's a famous band for you. I'm surprised there aren't more people who realize you're his daughter.
Shizuku	That's due to the fact he didn't use his real name and never really wanted to appear on TV music shows.
Shizuku	I think that's part of the reason I was able to just be myself, though. And I plan on continuing the same as I always have.

Airi & Shizuku (3)
Airi	Oh, it's that music video... The one Ena was talking about with the art done by an illustrator she likes...
Shizuku	It's so cute and colorful too. It even says it's for an idol group...
Airi	Really? It'd be great to work on something like this someday...
Shizuku	That sounds wonderful. We could have Ena draw everything for us and Mizuki could put the video together!
Airi	Yeah! We just gotta keep working hard if we want to make that a reality!

Airi & Shizuku (4)
Shizuku	Oh, Airi, look at this. It's the free pamphlet that includes our interview from the other day.
Airi	Hey, you're right! It's already on store shelves?
Airi	How do we look...? Perfect! They definitely got our cute sides!
Airi	But I still don't know what they asked you guys. I think I'll take this opportunity to see what questions they threw at you, Shizuku.
Shizuku	Oh, um...
Airi	"How to make delicious miso soup for a thermos"...? They really asked you about that...?
Shizuku	It actually turned into a fun conversation. They mentioned how with all the recent health fads, it's not all that unusual to carry miso soup around.
Airi	Yeah, they have a point... Plus, fermented foods have become famous around the world for keeping your skin clear and healthy.
Shizuku	But it's actually very difficult to achieve a nice flavor. If you make it normally, it becomes a little bland in the thermos and...
Airi	No, stop right there! We might be able to use what you're about to say for our next stream!
Airi	So, I'll sit down to discuss this with you later. Get ready for part two of your interview...

Airi & Ena (1)
Airi	Hm...
Ena	What's wrong, Airi? You have a pretty serious look on your face.
Airi	Well, I was thinking about buying a CD from a genre of music I don't usually listen to today...
Airi	But there's just way too much to choose from! I have no idea what to pick...!
Ena	Then, why not just buy one based on its artwork?
Airi	I could... But I'd rather choose something based on the artist or the tracks that are on it, you know...?
Airi	Sorry, I just need a little more time. Maybe one of these signs can help me...
Ena	It's okay. Take all the time you need.
Ena	(The way you take music so seriously is something I kind of like about you, Airi.)

Saki, Airi & Emu (1)
Saki	Oh! Airi, good morning!
Emu	Wonderhoy! Did you come to buy a CD too?
Airi	Yeah. Today's when the CD for this idol I've been following releases, so I'm here to buy a copy!
Saki	Whoa, I'm here to buy a CD for this band I like too!
Saki	I just happened to run into Emu along the way and we decided to take a look together.
Emu	I listened to some of the songs by the band Saki's talking about, and they were all really cool! Everything was so powerful and wonderhoy☆
Airi	Hehe. Powerful and wonderhoy, huh? Now you've got me curious. Mind showing me which band?
Saki	Oh, this one! You can sample some of their music over there!
Airi	Thanks. I think I will give them a listen. In return, I'll show you two that idol I was talking about just now.
Emu	Yay! We get to exchange likes! I can't wait to see what you recommend us, Airi!

Minori, Haruka & Airi (1)
Minori	Haruka! Airi! Look at the cover of this album! Isn't it the coolest?!
Haruka	It sure is. It almost doesn't feel like an idol group's CD.
Airi	Yeah. It's not often you see one without a picture of the members on the front.
Airi	I wonder if they did it like that to appeal to people who don't really care for idol groups.
Minori	That would make sense. Won't a lot of fans be disappointed about not getting a picture of their favorite idols in costume, though?
Airi	I doubt that's a problem. A lot of groups that do this release two versions with different cover art.
Minori	Oh! Let's see if we can find the other one, then. I wonder what it looks like.
Haruka	(Hehe. These two sure are enthusiastic about this sort of thing. I guess they are fans, after all.)

Minori, Airi & Shizuku (1)
Minori	Let's see... Oh, here she is! This is the store's number one recommended new idol!
Shizuku	Hm? She seems familiar...
Airi	That's one of the girls who auditioned with us. I think she was cut just before the final screening.
Airi	She managed to hold her composure in front of the judges, but she broke down in tears as soon as we made it back to the changing room.
Shizuku	Oh, that's right. I remember her now.
Minori	So in other words, she managed to overcome her despair and achieve her dreams!
Airi	You're right. That takes a lot of spirit. She may be our rival one day.

Ichika, Saki, Airi & Ena (1)
Saki	Yay! It's been too long since our last PXL visit! Look, Ichi, they even have stand-in boards of Phenny! Let's take a picture together!
Ichika	S-Saki, wait! You'll get lost if you run off like that!
Ena	Are those two always this peppy?
Airi	Oh? Is there something I can help you with, Grandma?
Ena	Just who are you calling “Grandma”...? I was just remembering what it's like to be someone's senior. I mean, I hardly talk to any younger kids during night school.
Airi	Now I understand.
Ichika	Ena, Airi. That stand-in over there has enough room for four people. Would you mind if we took a photo together?
Ena	Huh...?
Ena	He's called... Phenny, right? Wait, that means their beaks are gonna be replaced by our faces. Won't that look kinda freaky or surreal?
Airi	You say that, but you're just shy about having your picture taken, right?
Ena	No, that's not it at all...
Airi	We're here to enjoy our youth. I say have fun and worry about any regrets later♪
Airi	I mean, just look at Ichika and Saki. They're both glowing with anticipation.
Saki & Ichika	(Do you think she'll take this picture with us?)
Ena	Oh, you're right... Hehe. I guess I don't really have a choice.
Ena	But since we're doing this, first, we need to find the right angle. Airi, mind going ahead without me?
Airi	Okay! Make it a good one for us, alright?
Ena	Yeah, you got it!

Minori, Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (1)
Minori	And to your right, everyone, is the Phoenix Coaster!
Airi	Yes, we can see that for ourselves. Also, you're just reading off what's written on that sign, aren't you?
Shizuku	Minori seems so excited.
Haruka	She has been looking forward to going to PXL together for a while now.
Airi	I get that, but isn't this supposed to be a nice, relaxing trip? You know, since the Fan Festival is finally over?
Shizuku	That's true too. I hope being our guide like this isn't putting too much of a strain on her.
Haruka	I don't think it is... I mean, look
Minori	Hehe. Kohane and I even made a special guidebook just for a day like today, so I want everyone to have as much fun as they possibly can!
Haruka	Hehe. She's in her own little world.
Airi	Yeah, I can see that. I guess that means we should just play along and have as much fun as we really can, huh?
Shizuku	Yes, let's!
