Part 1
Stage SEKAI
KAITO
I'm glad Shizuku was back to smiling again.
Miku
Me too♪ I have a feeling Shizuku's gonna come up with a really good design now.
Rin
Yeah!
I can't wait to see it.
I can't wait to see it.
Miku
(We believe in you, Shizuku.
We'll be rooting for you from SEKAI.)

Miku
At the same time...
I sort of can't believe how many outfits we have now.
I sort of can't believe how many outfits we have now.
Miku
It just dawned on me while I was showing Shizuku around.
Rin
Yeah, me too!
KAITO
Hehe. That may be because I arrived here only recently and added my outfits to the pile.
Rin
Oh, maybe. Hm?
Rin
Miku, look!
Isn't this what we wore during our first show together?
Isn't this what we wore during our first show together?
Miku
It is! Hehe. Remember the dance we did? The one where we twirled around while holding each other's hands?
Rin
Yeah, I do! We twirled around so much that we still couldn't see straight when we tried to start our second song.
KAITO
Haha. That really happened?
KAITO
Would you mind telling me more about some of the things that happened when you wore these outfits on stage?
Miku
Of course.
Next, we can...
Next, we can...
Miku
Oh, how about these?
We usually wear them when we know we're going to do a duet or song for couples.

KAITO
And it looks like it's designed to match your hair color, Miku.
Rin
Mine's the same♪
Not only that, each outfit's color-coded in a special way♪

Miku
Take a look at the cuffs and collar. Oh, the skirt too.
KAITO
You're right. These certainly look like they've been made with duets and other romantic songs in mind.
Miku
Oh, KAITO.
Can we hear some stories about your outfits?
Can we hear some stories about your outfits?
Rin
Yeah, I wanna hear too!
KAITO
You do? In that case... Oh, how about this one?
Rin
Whoa! The wings on the shoulders look so fluffy! They're so stylish and cool!
Miku
They are, but... I'm not sure I've ever seen you wear that.
KAITO
Hehe. This is actually one of my more extravagant outfits in my wardrobe. I'll wear it when I feel the time is right.
Rin
Really? Like for a special occasion?
KAITO
Yes. Also, the wings and other decorations you see on it are very delicate.
KAITO
Much more fragile compared to any of the other outfits I have, so it's in safe-keeping for now.
Miku
Ah...
Miku
Our shows usually involve us dancing and running around all over the stage.
Miku
As a result, anything attached to our hips or shoulders ends up falling off more than the other parts.
Rin
Yeah. I know exactly what you mean.
Miku
Oh, that reminds me! I accidentally stepped on the hem of my dress this one time and caused some of the lace to tear.
Miku
I really liked that dress because of how cute it was too. I had it mended so that I could wear it one last time, but I don't know where I put it...
KAITO
Oh, that's like my outfit with a loose button.
Rin
I remember getting one of my outfits all dirty after tripping while trying to exit the stage.
Rin
No, it's not this one...
Huh? The sequins on the arm for this one are gone!

Miku
Oh, you're right...
It won't be stage ready until those are reattached.

Rin
*Sob*
I was thinking about wearing it for my next show...

KAITO
You've both done so many shows already, so it's honestly no surprise that some of your outfits need mending.
Miku
...
Miku
But we'll both shine on stage again if it does get mended!
KAITO
Yes. It should be doable as long as it's nothing major.
Miku
I'd like to give it a try if you think it's possible!
Miku
These outfits are a large part of why we're able to shine on stage as idols after all.
KAITO
I agree.
KAITO
Alright, why don't we also ask Luka and the others to join us for our little inventory check?
KAITO
If I recall correctly, we're supposed to all meet sometime soon. I'll be sure to check your schedules later.
Rin
That's KAITO for you! An idol and a manager!
Miku
I really appreciate it, KAITO!
For now, why don't we go let Luka and the others know?

Rin
Sounds good♪
