Len
Nice work, everyone!
You guys synced perfectly during your song and dance!
6
Miku
Thank you, Len!
7
MEIKO
You know, this show might've been the most well-made one that we've ever done.
8
Luka
Hehe. I agree♪ We did spend quite a bit of time practicing everything.
9
Rin
Yeah, we did♪ All our other preparations for the show went really smoothly too!
10
Miku
Exactly. We didn't have any problems with missing speakers, costumes or the like at all this time.
11
???
Heavy equipment coming through behind you...
12
Miku
Oh, sorry.
13
Miku
Huh? Was that...?
14
Rin
We probably didn't run into any trouble because of that “equipment checklist”, Miku!
15
Miku
Ah, that's right. We were done setting everything up before we knew it just by following what that list said.
16
Miku
Thank you for putting this together, Len.
17
Len
Hm? That wasn't me.
I thought that was MEIKO or Luka made and handed it out to us.
18
MEIKO
Huh? I didn't write that.
I thought it was Miku or Luka.
19
Luka
No, it wasn't me either.
20
Rin
What?! Then, who put this thing together and handed it out to us?
21
???
I have cold drinks ready for all of you here. Please take one if you need to cool off.
22
Rin
Oh, thanks!
Wait, huh...?
23
Rin
S-Stop right there!
24
KAITO
Hm? Is something wrong?
25
Everyone
K-KAITO?!
26
KAITO
Hehe. What's going on with all of you?
You look like pigeons that were just shot by a peashooter.
27
Len
Don't give us that.
Where have you been all this time?
28
Miku
What he said.
It's been a while since you last sang...
29
KAITO
Oh, I was going around to each stage to see what kind of equipment they each have.
30
KAITO
From what I understand, you were having some trouble with your shows at first, no?
31
KAITO
Such as not having the right lights available or not having any replacement speakers on hand.
32
Rin
Yeah, that happened a lot and always put us in a bind!
33
KAITO
And it's a shame to have to waste any time on that, right?
34
KAITO
Which is why I decided to write up a checklist saying where you can find how many of each piece of equipment to streamline the preparation process for shows.
35
Luka
Oh, you were the one who wrote that checklist...
36
KAITO
Yes. We all forget things, so it's a way to counter that.
37
KAITO
Did I go too far...?
38
Len
No, not at all.
We had so few issues compared to normal this time.
39
Rin
Yeah! That list really made preparing for today's show super smooth♪
40
Luka
I agree. I ended up using it as well♪
It showed what was done and still needed to be done so clearly.
41
MEIKO
Yes, that! It effectively prevented us from accidentally forgetting to do anything!
42
KAITO
It did? That's great to hear!
43
KAITO
Once all the equipment has been fixed and the venue's been inspected, we won't be having any more of these issues, so I ask that you please bear with me just a little bit longer.
44
Miku
Okay! Thank you very much, KAITO♪
45
Len
By the way, KAITO, aren't you going to do your own show?
46
Rin
Yeah, that's right!
It'd be great to see you perform after all this time!
47
MEIKO
Yeah, I'd love to see that!
48
Miku & Luka
Oh, me too!
I'd like to as well.
49
KAITO
Hehe. Thank you, everyone.
50
KAITO
I actually plan on doing my own show once I'm done inspecting all the equipment.
51
KAITO
So I hope you'll be there to see it.
52
Rin
Yay!
