Welcome, Nene♪

Are the others here with you?

Oh, not yet.
We agreed to meet up here once homeroom ended for each of our classes.

By the way, you guys...

Can we talk for a minute once Tsukasa and the others get here? I need to tell you all something before we start practice.

Sure, but is something bothering you?

No, nothing like that...

(I couldn't tell everyone that day because we didn't have practice, but I need to tell them that I've agreed to be on the planning committee for Shibu Schools Fest.)

(I should be focusing on my singing right now, to be ready to start training with the Morinomiya Revue...)

(But my teacher personally invited me.)

(I decided to accept because I usually shy away from doing stuff like this. It seemed like a good opportunity to make a change.)

(They'll understand as long as I explain my reasoning, right...?)

Sorry for making you all wait!

Welcome, you three!
We all just finished gathering as well.

That reminds me!
You said you wanted to tell us all something, right, Nene?

Oh...

You wanna tell us something, Nene?

So, the thing is...

Well, Nene, I think you surprised us all by saying that you're going to be on the planning committee for the Shibuya City High Schools Joint Festival...

Yes, on your teacher's recommendation no less! Congratulations!

You and your classmates worked really hard when you directed that film☆

...

So, you guys are okay with me doing this?

Hm? I don't see why we'd be against it...

B-But I feel like I should be practicing and preparing to train with the Morinomiya Revue...

Well, what about you? Do you feel okay with doing this?

From how it sounds, you'll have to juggle practicing with your duties as a member of this committee.

Yeah, I plan on practicing like normal, and I'm going to give this festival as much as I can too. I made a commitment, after all.

Then, I say do it.

This is a joint festival involving all the city's high schools! Not only that, you get to be on the planning committee for the inaugural event! Go give it your best shot!

Yeah♪ I'll be rooting for you, Nene☆

Hehe. I'm so happy for you, Nene.

Thanks...!

I promise to do my best!

Planning a festival with students from all the other schools sounds like so much fun♪

Yes, I almost wish I could be on this committee, too.

Yeah, me too!
How are people chosen for it?

Who knows? My teacher said anyone who was interested should talk to him...

Hm? Our teacher also mentioned the festival, but I don't think any of us were invited.

No, we weren't.

To be fair, each school wants to send its best representatives, which effectively takes us out of the running.

Ah, that's unfortunate... No, wait a second! What do you mean “us”?!

Unlike you, I haven't been causing trouble each and every day! I'm an excellent candidate to represent our school!

Ah, have you forgotten what everyone at school calls us?

Umm... Remind me again☆

The Weirdo Wombo Combo...

Haha... If everybody at school calls you two that, then I understand why your teachers would be hesitant to ask either of you.

Whyyyyy?!?!?!

Wait, does that mean Tsukasa can't be a part of the festivities...?

Probably not the planning committee, but he should still be allowed to be a part of the performances and stuff.

Thank goodness! Then, I'm gonna ask my teacher about helping with this festival♪

Yes, I'll do the same!
Maybe there's still a spot available on the planning committee.

I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Quiet, you!

Thanks for giving me a chance to explain, you guys. Anyway, let's start practicing...

Okay♪ Let's do our best again today☆
