Part 1
Minori's Room
Minori
Our very own stage outfits...
Minori
This is a dream come true! I can't believe we actually get to design them ourselves...!
Minori
And if we end up using my design, that means I'll get to see Haruka singing and dancing while wearing it!
Minori
*Squeal*
That'd be beyond amazing...!
That'd be beyond amazing...!
Minori
No, now's not the time for that...!
This is about our outfits! This is about MMJ!
This is about our outfits! This is about MMJ!
Minori
Still...
Minori
A girl can dream, right? Hehe...
Minori
Anyway, I'll start by going through the designs I've already drawn and seeing if anything will work for us!
Minori
Let's see. Where's my notebook...?
Minori
Oh, lots of ribbons would be nice...
But so would frills like this one!
But so would frills like this one!
Minori
However, the one I have on the next page might suit Airi and Shizuku better...
Minori
Wait...!
I have a feeling this might be a good idea!
I have a feeling this might be a good idea!
Minori
Alright, let's get drawing! I'll use the next page to redesign it and... Hm?
Minori
Why's there an equation written here...?
Minori
Hang on... Oh noooooo!!
The next day
Miyamasuzaka Girls Academy - Class 1-A
Minori
*Sob*
Kohane
Just a little bit more to go, Minori!
You can do it!
You can do it!
Shiho
Minori's been sobbing for a while now. Is something wrong?
Kohane
She's in the middle of copying over all the designs for outfits she accidentally drew in her math notebook.
Shiho
She doodled in her notebook for class...?
Shiho
Also, why's she copying them by hand? Can't she just use a copy machine?
Kohane
She apparently drew them on every page and won't have enough money to buy CDs this month if she has them copied, so she's resorted to this.
Shiho
What? You're kidding, right...?
Minori
F-Finally! I'm done...!
Kohane
Congratulations, Minori!
I know it wasn't easy.
I know it wasn't easy.
Shiho
Congrats, I guess. But you also reap what you sow.
Minori
Hahaha...
Minori
But I got each design back onto its own page! That should make it easier for me to work on my idea for the design competition, so it's all good!
Shiho
Design competition...?
Shiho
Oh, right.
Shizuku mentioned something about that.
Shizuku mentioned something about that.
Minori
Oh, that must mean she's already working on her idea too!
Minori
I'm sure she's told you all about it already, but we've decided to design our own stage outfits.
Minori
We're each gonna come up with a design and have our fans vote for their favorite one!
Kohane
I still can't believe you're getting to design your own outfits.
Shiho
Yeah. So, got any good ideas?
Minori
What?! You wanna hear about my design...?!
Shiho
Uh oh...
Minori
Let me start with... This one!
The skirt's supposed to tease everyone a little by sort of floating in the air when you dance and stuff!

Minori
This is the most important part! It has three layers starting at the waistline that move differently but fluffily depending on what you do!
Minori
I'm hoping to make it so the lengths of our skirts and their fluffiness match who we are individually!
Minori
Also, Haruka likes penguins and Airi likes cats, so I want to work in some animal motifs to make this outfit even cuter!
Shiho
O-Okay... I can tell you put a lot of effort into this...
Minori
You can? Yay!
Kohane
It really is a cute outfit.
Is this going to be a submission?
Is this going to be a submission?
Minori
About that... I'm really confident about this design but not really sure if I want this to be my submission.
Minori
I still think there are other good ideas out there, so I'm gonna keep trying out different things!
Minori
For example, this!
A dress with pretty much no shoulders!

Kohane
Wow, this one's so much more mature!
But it's incredible how it captures that cuteness all idols possess.

Minori
See? See?
Minori
Then there's... This!
A slightly sexier outfit that shows off your midriff a little!

Kohane
Oh, this one's really cute too!
I can see why you're having such a hard time going with just one.
I can see why you're having such a hard time going with just one.
Shiho
Yeah, but hang on... Why are these all blue?
Minori
Um, that's because...
Minori
I want to make sure the outfits I design look good on Haruka... Hehe...
Shiho
I see.
Kohane
Hehe. I'm sure you'll come up with a wonderful outfit, Minori.
Minori
Thanks!
Minori
Alright, I'm gonna pack my design with more and more and more cuteness to make sure our fans pick it!
