Minori

Listen

*Sigh*
Another exhausting day...!
I'll probably fall asleep if I close my eyes right now.

Minori

Listen

Okay...

Minori

Listen

Just a little bit more to go until our show.

Minori

Listen

I have to do my best and make sure I spread hope to everyone who attends!

Minori's Mother's Voice

Minori! The bath's ready!

Minori

Listen

Oh... Okay!

Minori

Listen

Alright, I should feel really refreshed after taking a nice, relaxing bath!!

Wah...!!

Minori

O-O...

Minori?!

Minori's Mother

Minori?!

Minori's Father

I heard you shout! What happened?!

Minori

Listen

M-My pinky... I jammed it and...

Minori's Brother

*Sigh*
You're always such a klutz...

Minori

Listen

A-Always?! But lately...

Minori's Brother

Yeah, yeah. Just try to be more careful, okay...?

Minori

Listen

H-Hey! You could show a little more compassion...!

Minori's Mother

Oh, you...
Your show's in a few days, so you really do need to be more careful. Here, let me take a look.

Minori

Listen

Okay...
But it should be fine as long as I ice it.

Minori's Mother

Yes, that appears to be the case.
Then, make sure to do just that after you've taken your bath.

Minori's Father

*Sigh*
Thank goodness it wasn't anything serious. You really do seem to have no manner of luck when it comes to these sorts of situations, Minori.

Minori's Father

At the same time...
Why is it that you seem to be more unlucky than the rest of us?

Minori's Mother

Oh, that's easy.
She takes after you, honey. I mean, you can be so careless sometimes.

Minori's Father

Me?
I say she got it from you, dear.

Minori's Mother

What? Me?

Minori's Father

Minori told me herself.
This one time when everyone from her group came to visit, you accidentally served them orange juice even when you just told them it was tea.

Minori's Mother

Oh, now that you mention it...

Minori's Mother

Minori, what do idols usually like to drink? Coffee? Tea? Or something more exquisite that I've never heard of...?

Minori's Mother

Conversely, I could just serve water...

Minori

Listen

Uhh... They're coming over as friends, so juice should be fine.

Minori's Mother

That's true.
Then, how does orange juice sound?

Minori

Listen

Sounds good! Thanks, Mom!

Sound Effect: Play

Minori's Mother

Thank you all for coming over to visit today. Here, please have some tea.

Minori

Listen

Wait, didn't we agree on orange juice?

Minori's Mother

Yes, this is orange juice.

Minori

Listen

Huh? But you just said tea...

Minori's Mother

Hm? Oh no! Look at me! Hehe...

Minori

Listen

M-Mooom!!

Minori

Listen

(Haruka and the others thought that she was just trying to be funny... But I felt a little embarrassed by what she did...)

Minori's Mother

What if I told you that your father was feeling very anxious that day?

Minori

Listen

Really? I knew he was home since he had a day off, but I didn't see him at all.

Minori's Father

Oh, about that...

Minori's Mother

Hehe. Your father was so busy preparing himself to greet Haruka and the others.

Minori's Mother

Even though he was off that day, he put on his suit and practiced saying, “Please take good care of my daughter.”

Minori

Listen

What?!

Minori's Father

Wh-What's wrong with that?
I was just trying to be polite. You know, as her parent?

Minori's Mother

But he became so focused on practicing that they all left before he could even say anything to them.

Minori's Father

No, I just realized that being too formal would make things incredibly awkward.

Minori

Listen

D-Dad...

Minori

Listen

(I had no idea about any of that...
Thank goodness he decided against it.)

Minori

Listen

I guess you're both quite careless...

Minori's Mother & Father

Tell your father that.
Tell your mother that.

Minori's Mother & Father

Huh...?
Hm...?

Minori

Listen

Hehe.

Minori's Brother

Huh? You guys are all still here...?
Also, Minori, your show's in a few days. Shouldn't you ice that thing like now?

Minori, Mother & Father

Listen

*Gasp*
