Rin

Listen

<Wow! It's so nice out today♪>
2

Miku

Listen

<A good day to practice, yes?>
3

Minori

Listen

Yup!
4

Minori

Listen

*Stretch*
It feels like it's been forever since we last practiced here.
5

Miku

<Oh, that's right. Ever since you girls set up the MORE MORE HOUSE, you've been practicing over there.>
6

Minori

Listen

But...

7

Minori

Listen

We want Shizuku to have it to herself right now, so we're gonna do what we can here!
8

Rin

<Still, I sorta couldn't believe it when she said that she has to practice like nothing else matters to measure up to that other girl.>
9

Miku

Listen

<Yes, Shizuku of all people.>
10

Rin

Listen

<She's appearing alongside one of the girls who did that collaborative performance with all of you at Idol Lovers, right? What was her name? Uhh...>
11

Minori

Listen

Yu Hagiyama from ReLight.
12

Minori

Listen

I did think that her stage presence during Idol Lovers was amazing...
13

Minori

Listen

But Shizuku went on to say...
14

Minori

Listen

“I'm afraid that I'm going to ruin this commercial.”
She even said Hagiyama possesses something that she doesn't, and that she might not have what it takes...
15

Rin

<She really said those things? But she used to be a model...>
16

Miku

<Hagiyama must've been truly incredible.>
17

Minori

Listen

*Nod*
18

Minori

Listen

Shizuku always practices really hard and works a lot on her own, but things feel different this time around.
19

Minori

Listen

When I saw her practicing over at the MORE MORE HOUSE, she gave me goosebumps.
20

Rin

Listen

<Really...?>
21

Minori

Listen

She actually reminded me of when I met her for the very first time.
22

Rin

<When you met her for the very first time?>
23

Minori

Listen

Yeah.
24

Minori

Listen

A quiet and gentle girl, but she had a ton of presence. My eyes were naturally drawn to her.
25

Minori

Listen

I've thought a lot about how I could become an idol who shines the way she does...
26

Minori

Listen

And the answer seems to be what she's doing now. Figuring out how to best present herself by putting in the time and effort.
27

Minori

Listen

Her charm is the result of all the work she's put in up to this point.
28

Miku

Listen

<Right...>
29

Miku

<She's mentioned how she worked harder than anyone else in Cheerful * Days as the lead, in order to live up to everybody's expectations.>
30

Minori

Listen

Exactly. Everyone talks about how tall and beautiful Shizuku is...
31

Minori

Listen

But those things aren't enough to become the lead. You need more than that to shine the way she does!
32

Minori

Listen

(Shizuku...)

33

Minori

Listen

(You were amazing...)
34

Minori

Listen

(So amazing that I couldn't take my eyes off you.)
35

Minori

Listen

If I went to audition for something and found out that I'd be performing alongside a person like Shizuku...
36

Minori

Listen

Then I'd feel really scared.
37

Miku

Listen

<But you're here right now for a reason, Minori.>
38

Rin

Listen

<To practice♪>
39

Minori

Listen

I am...!
40

Minori

Listen

If I'm not good enough the way I am, I'll just work until I am good enough!
41

Minori

Listen

As Shizuku's groupmate, I have to do what I can to not embarrass her!

42

Airi

Listen

That's what I like to hear, Minori!
43

Minori

Listen

Eep!
44

Miku

<Airi!>
45

Haruka

Listen

Don't forget about us.
46

Len

Listen

<We had a feeling that you two had come over to talk to Minori.>

KAITO

Listen

<Thank goodness we found you.
We were hoping to invite you two as well.>
48

Miku

Listen

<Invite us for what?>
49

Airi

Listen

A special, high-intensity lesson!
50

Airi

Listen

The idea is to hold a sort of mock audition where we compete against one another by singing and dancing and stuff.
51

Haruka

Listen

KAITO's come up with the details for each event, so we're all set to go.
52

Haruka

Listen

Wanna give it a try, Minori?
53

Minori

Listen

Yes, I wanna join!
54

Rin

Listen

<Us too!>
55

KAITO

Listen

<Excellent! Then, let's meet over in SEKAI!>
56

Haruka, Minori & Airi

Listen

Yeah!
Okay!
