Where the equipment's going to be placed on the right and lefthand sides of the stage. It looks like they're going to be placed more towards the edges.
Airi: Where the equipment's going to be placed on the right and lefthand sides of the stage. It looks like they're going to be placed more towards the edges.
Minori
Oh, that means we'll be able to use almost all of the stage!

And it'll make it easier for us to see everyone sitting in those sections.
Haruka: And it'll make it easier for us to see everyone sitting in those sections.Airi
Yeah, the equipment's pretty big too. I like the idea of moving them since they'd sorta dominate the show if you're sitting right next to them.
Airi: Yeah, the equipment's pretty big too. I like the idea of moving them since they'd sorta dominate the show if you're sitting right next to them.Airi
However, going forward with this means we're gonna need to rethink how we perform certain songs.

Oh, that's right... Our second song...

It's okay, Minori. Lemme explain how things are gonna go when we're actually on stage.
Airi: It's okay, Minori. Lemme explain how things are gonna go when we're actually on stage.Airi
For our first song, we're gonna walk around as much of the stage as we can to get a good look at all of our fans' faces.

Yes! Haruka and I are stage left, and you and Shizuku are stage right!
Minori: Yes! Haruka and I are stage left, and you and Shizuku are stage right!Airi
Correct. We'll stay in those positions and sing our second song until its interlude. Then, we'll walk out on stage to look at our fans, and meet back in the middle... Well, that was the plan...
Airi: Correct. We'll stay in those positions and sing our second song until its interlude. Then, we'll walk out on stage to look at our fans, and meet back in the middle... Well, that was the plan...Haruka
And there lies the problem.

Huh? So, this is the part you were talking about just now? About changing where the equipment is gonna be placed and how it'll affect the show?
Minori: Huh? So, this is the part you were talking about just now? About changing where the equipment is gonna be placed and how it'll affect the show?Airi
Yeah, changing where they're placed will allow us to use more of the stage. You follow me there, right?
Airi: Yeah, changing where they're placed will allow us to use more of the stage. You follow me there, right?Minori
Y-Yeah...!
Minori: Y-Yeah...!Airi
Because we'll get to use more of the stage, we'll have to physically travel greater distances.

As a result of these changes, we can't move as much as we initially planned for this part anymore because otherwise we won't make it in time.
Haruka: As a result of these changes, we can't move as much as we initially planned for this part anymore because otherwise we won't make it in time.Minori
Wait, what?!

W-Wait! What if we ran instead of walking?! Wouldn't that solve the problem?

Yes, but it may end up taking away from the dance we'll be doing following the interlude.

Th-Then... Do we need to change the dance routine after the interlude?

That's the easiest solution... But we need to keep the energy going for the second half of our show, so not changing it would be best.

I agree. So, why don't we try thinking about what else we can do?

I know! What if we did this?

Minori
Wait, you wanna extend the interlude?!
Minori: Wait, you wanna extend the interlude?!Airi
Yeah. I'm thinking that we can extend the song by looping a part of the interlude. That should give us the time we need to move around.
Airi: Yeah. I'm thinking that we can extend the song by looping a part of the interlude. That should give us the time we need to move around.Airi
We'll need to test this to make sure it'll work, but it should be okay since it's not that big a change. Plus, it shouldn't affect the other parts of our show much.
