Part 1
A few days before the solo show
Minori's Room
Minori
*Sigh*
Another exhausting day...!
I'll probably fall asleep if I close my eyes right now.

Minori
Okay...
Minori
Just a little bit more to go until our show.
Minori
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
Oh... Okay!
Minori
Alright, I should feel really refreshed after taking a nice, relaxing bath!!
Minori
Wah...!!
Minori
O-O...
Minori
Owww!!
Minori's Brother
Minori?!
Minori's Mother
Minori?!
Minori's Father
I heard you shout! What happened?!
Minori
M-My pinky... I jammed it and...
Minori's Brother
*Sigh*
You're always such a klutz...
You're always such a klutz...
Minori
A-Always?! But lately...
Minori's Brother
Yeah, yeah. Just try to be more careful, okay...?
Minori
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
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
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
Sounds good! Thanks, Mom!
Minori's Mother
Thank you all for coming over to visit today. Here, please have some tea.
Minori
Wait, didn't we agree on orange juice?
Minori's Mother
Yes, this is orange juice.
Minori
Huh? But you just said tea...
Minori's Mother
Hm? Oh no! Look at me! Hehe...
Minori
M-Mooom!!
Minori
(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
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
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
D-Dad...
Minori
(I had no idea about any of that...
Thank goodness he decided against it.)

Minori
I guess you're both quite careless...
Minori's Mother & Father
Tell your father that.
Tell your mother that.
Tell your mother that.
Minori's Mother & Father
Huh...?
Hm...?
Hm...?
Minori
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?
