Airi

Listen

That should be enough practice for today. Make sure to stretch later, okay?
2

Minori

Listen

I'm exhausted! And so hungry...
3

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. How about we stop by somewhere on our way back?
4

Minori

Listen

Oh, I'm up for that!
5

Airi

Listen

Just don't eat too much.
Also, I'd like to head home now to think of ideas for our training camp.
6

Haruka

Listen

Airi...
Are you sure you don't want us to help?
7

Airi

Listen

Yeah, I'll be fine.
I'm right in the middle of refining things down.
8

Minori

Listen

Oh, I'm so excited for our training camp! I can't wait to hear about what we're gonna do!
9

Shizuku

Listen

By the way, Airi, have you finalized anything yet?
10

Airi

Listen

Well, yes and no...
Either way, you'll just have to wait until then to find out.
11

Minori

Listen

Huh? We have to wait until the day of? Not until you've made a decision?
12

Haruka

Listen

Is that because we'll react more genuinely during our stream...?
13

Airi

Listen

Precisely!
14

Airi

Listen

One more thing.
There's something that I want you to start thinking about, Minori.
15

Minori

Listen

Huh? Me?
16

Airi

Listen

Yeah.
17

Airi

Listen

Haruka, Shizuku and I all have a lot of experience being on TV and stuff.
18

Airi

Listen

As such, we know that things don't always go according to the script and have learned how to handle unforeseen situations.
19

Airi

Listen

However, Minori, you don't have much experience with that, so to you, it's easier said than done, right?
20

Minori

Listen

Right...
I probably wouldn't know what to do.
21

Airi

Listen

So, for this training camp, I want you to arrive having not practiced or rehearsed.
22

Airi

Listen

Simultaneously, I simply want you to expect the unexpected.
23

Minori

Listen

U-Understood!
But am I really gonna be okay...
24

Haruka

Listen

I think so.
You'll need to know how to handle those sorts of situations for our solo show.
25

Shizuku

Listen

I agree. Not only that, it's our own stream, so you probably don't need to worry about causing any trouble.
26

Airi

Listen

My thoughts exactly.
We don't get many opportunities like this, so let's make the most of it!
27

Minori

Listen

Okay!

Airi

Listen

Alright, now that I've finished doing my homework, I can get back to working on stuff for our training camp.

29

Airi

Listen

(In terms of segments, these should do nicely.)
30

Airi

Listen

(And I'm so glad that I asked MEIKO for some advice. They've become really fun as a result.)

Sound Effect: Play

31

Airi

Listen

However, our stream this time around's gonna be pretty long... We'll need to do what we can to keep our viewers interested throughout.
32

Airi

Listen

I also need to figure out where we're actually gonna go and what sort of equipment we'll be using.
33

Airi

Listen

Nanamin's agency took care of that for our Christmas event, but this time, we have to take care of all of that.
34

Airi

Listen

Hmm...
35

Airi

Listen

I could conceivably handle that, but it might be nice to have an advisor of sorts...
36

Airi

Listen

Someone with a lot of experience working on variety shows, shooting on location and taking care of all the right paperwork...
37

Airi

Listen

I know...! I can ask the scriptwriter I used to work a lot with! The one from The Wide World of Laughs!
38

Airi

Listen

I remember hearing that they decided to settle down and work for a regional TV station.
39

Airi

Listen

If I can get them to lend me a hand...!
40

Airi

Listen

Alright, here goes nothing!

41

Airi

Listen

Oh, I got a reply to that email I sent yesterday...
42

Airi

Listen

Let's see... <Momoi, it's been so long. About the thing you asked me about...>
43

Airi

Listen

<If it's alright with you, I'd like to help out>...!
44

Airi

Listen

Thank goodness!
Now I can hear what a professional thinks.
45

Airi

Listen

Oh, they even made sure to quote me for their consultation.
46

Airi

Listen

(This must mean they're really looking at what we're doing as professionals.)
47

Airi

Listen

(Regardless of the fact that we're freelancers...)
48

Airi

Listen

To be fair, we're talking about a person that said, “It doesn't matter if someone's a rookie idol or a comedian who's yet to find fame. They're all professionals in my mind if they appear on TV.”
49

Airi

Listen

That sort of came with the condition that you provide good reactions or can say something interesting... But it was always worth putting in the effort.
50

Airi

Listen

Hehe. That really takes me back...

Sound Effect: Play

51

Airi

Listen

Looking back, that person always came up with ideas that were just tough enough for me to wonder whether or not I could handle them.
52

Airi

Listen

And they didn't have to make us fail on purpose or come up with a surprise. They were designed in a way that something interesting would always happen.
53

Airi

Listen

In terms of what we'll be doing, renting out a public pool and trying to cross a floating obstacle course was kinda similar...
54

Airi

Listen

Also, I didn't get to try all of the things they came up with, so I could use those for reference.
55

Airi

Listen

(When I was still appearing on variety shows, I was told a lot of not-so-nice things and felt really awful at times...)
56

Airi

Listen

(But I also got to meet a lot of great people and get to work with them again like this.)
57

Airi

Listen

Hehe. It just goes to show that it's important to enjoy the process.
58

Airi

Listen

So, I should start by sending them a reply!
