Airi

Listen

Here's your matcha latte, Shizuku.
And your sweet soybean powder and syrup au lait, Haruka.
2

Haruka

Listen

Oh, thank you.
3

Shizuku

Listen

And I see that you got yourself a roasted tea au lait Airi?
4

Airi

Listen

Hehe. You can't miss with this. Anyways, cheers for a job well done on our first joint stream!
5

Haruka

Listen

Cheers!
6

Shizuku

Listen

Cheers! And we have a show that we need to prepare for coming up too...
7

Haruka

Listen

Minori's probably practicing on her own somewhere right now too.
8

Airi

Listen

You're probably right. I'd really rather have her rest considering how much we did this afternoon...
9

Haruka

Listen

...
10

Shizuku

Listen

Haruka, could it be that what you told Minori is bothering you...?

11

Haruka

Listen

But we also can't let doubt creep into our viewers' minds.
12

Airi

Listen

You weren't wrong. Actually, I think that's something she needed to hear...
13

Airi

Listen

If you didn't, Haruka, I probably would've ended up saying something similar...
14

Haruka

Listen

But it sounded so harsh...
Maybe even hurtful...
15

Shizuku

Listen

It was a little harsh of you to say that...
16

Comment

<She'll just blow it again...>
<For Haruka's sake, don't screw up!>
<Stay off to the side.>
17

Airi

Listen

Minori's probably beating herself up over it too. She did everything she could to meet up to everyone's expectations...
18

Haruka

Listen

Right...
19

Shizuku

Listen

(Beating herself up...)
20

Trainee Idol A

You won the Grand Prix, but can't even do a dance as simple as that one?
21

Trainee Idol B

*Sigh*... Why wasn't I born with a face like that?
22

Shizuku

Listen

(All those times I felt so ashamed of myself after being told so many awful things by everyone, I ended up running from practice...)
23

Shizuku

Listen

(But Minori just...)
24

Shizuku

Listen

(Minori's probably just...)
25

Haruka

Listen

No, I am worried about her.
I need to go and talk to her.
26

Airi

Listen

Yeah. I'm sure she'll feel a lot better if we're there with her.
27

Shizuku

Listen

*Gasp*...! Wait, you two!
28

Shizuku

Listen

Right now, I think we should give her a little more time...
29

Haruka

Listen

Huh?
30

Shizuku

Listen

If it were me in her shoes, I'd want you to be there to tell me that everything will be okay but...
31

Shizuku

Listen

I think Minori's stronger than that.
32

Airi

Listen

Stronger? Are you sure...?
33

Shizuku

Listen

Even after what happened, she tried to laugh it off, didn't she?
34

Shizuku

Listen

She was doing everything she could to make sure our stream didn't go awry, so she smiled and laughed...
35

Shizuku

Listen

I couldn't imagine myself doing that, especially if I were just starting out.
36

Airi

Listen

Shizuku...
37

Airi

Listen

I get what you're trying to say, but for your own sake, please don't be so self-deprecating like that.
38

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. Don't mind me. That's not what I meant by that.
39

Haruka

Listen

I think Shizuku is trying to say that Minori will find her own way out of this.
40

Shizuku

Listen

Yes. She may be crying all by herself right now...
41

Shizuku

Listen

But those tears will surely find a way to turn into hope and encouragement.
42

Shizuku

Listen

I believe that she needs those tears because she'll find a way to use them like a springboard to stand right back up.
43

Airi

Listen

And keep moving forward...
44

Shizuku

Listen

Yes. That's why I think we should believe in her and trust that she can find her own way through this.
45

Airi

Listen

Okay...
46

Airi

Listen

You might be right about us going to see her now. She could take it as us not believing in her.
47

Shizuku

Listen

Exactly. So let's put our faith in her. I'm sure she'll be back to her usual, smiling self tomorrow.
48

Haruka

Listen

I agree with Shizuku...
49

Haruka

Listen

I guess I was more concerned about her than I realized...
50

Airi

Listen

We're all in this together, so we hardly blame you.
51

Haruka

Listen

But I was about to throw what she did away.
52

Haruka

Listen

Shizuku, thank you...
53

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. You're welcome.
54

Airi

Listen

By the way, Shizuku, do you have a second...?
55

Shizuku

Listen

Yes, Airi?
56

Airi

Listen

I keep talking about stuff that happened when we were still in training, but the past is the past. Let's focus on the present, okay?
57

Airi

Listen

We've both come a long way since then, so it's time to stand up and spread your wings as Shizuku Hinomori of MORE MORE JUMP!
58

Shizuku

Listen

Airi...
59

Shizuku

Listen

You're right! Thank you!
60

Haruka

Listen

Hehe. Oh, a cat...

61

Airi

Listen

Aww, it's so cute! No, wait...!
62

Haruka

Listen

That's right, you're allergic!
Are you okay, Airi?
63

Airi's Voice

Listen

As long as I stay about this far away...!
64

Shizuku

Listen

I wish you could enjoy this too, Airi.
Hello, Mr. Kitty Cat.
65

Cat

Meeoow?

66

Shizuku

Listen

Oh, it tilted its head.
Then how about I... Meeoow?

Haruka

*Gasp*!

Airi

S-S-Shizuku! Your tea!
It's gonna get all over your clothes...!!
