Part 1

One month before the solo show
Stage SEKAI
1
Luka
Just one month to go until the girls' solo show.
2
MEIKO
I'm so fired up about it...
I mean, we've been watching over them for so long, and their big moment's finally arrived.
3
KAITO
I understand how you feel. They've been making a concerted effort to make sure their fans really enjoy the show, so I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
4
MEIKO
Not only that, but they did great during Airi's training camp.
5
KAITO
Yes, they did. I'm sure their fans are just as excited for the show as we are.
6
KAITO
Hm?
Oh, they arrived right on cue.
7
Airi
Oh, KAITO! And MEIKO and Luka too!
Do you all have a second?
8
MEIKO
Yes, how can we help?
9
Airi
We apologize in advance since we're not sure if we should be asking you about this, but...
10
KAITO
I see. So this is about setting up your venue and figuring out a designated route for the audience...
11
Haruka
Yes. For the fan event we did the other day, we were able to come up with a plan for all that with the help of the staff...
12
Haruka
But we ran into some trouble when it came to actually setting everything up, which led to quite a bit of confusion among everyone. We were hoping to avoid that this time.
13
Airi
Considering how this event's gonna be even bigger and means a lot more than that one, we can't let the same thing happen again.
14
Shizuku
Which is why we're here right now. With our previous mistakes in mind, we'd like to ask for your opinions regarding this.
15
Minori
W-Will you help us?
16
KAITO
Of course! I'll be more than happy to!
17
Minori
R-Really?!
18
KAITO
Yes, since you've all been working very hard towards making your solo show a success. As such, I'd like to help you girls out in any way I can.
19
KAITO
Also...
20
Shizuku
Also?
21
KAITO
Getting to work on your behind the scenes for your big show sounds like fun!
22
MEIKO
You really are an open book, aren't you?
23
KAITO
Haha. What's wrong with being honest about how I feel?
24
KAITO
Plus, working on their show behind-the-scenes means we're helping them shine on stage.
25
Haruka
Oh...
26
KAITO
I believe idols have the ability to spread hope to not just their fans but also inspire all of those who help make their shows happen.
27
KAITO
Imagine putting together the stage on which your favorite idols are going to shine like the sun.
28
KAITO
That'd definitely put a smile on my face.
29
MEIKO
He's right. We've been wondering how the preparations for your show were going, so getting to help out like this is nice.
30
Luka
I agree! We'd be honored to lend you girls a hand♪
31
Airi
Really?! Thank you all so much!
32
KAITO
Okay, we'll need to make haste.
Do you have the layout for your venue along with a list of equipment?
33
Airi
Yes, we also brought the instructions for where to carry and set up everything, the song files for the show and even the schedule for the day of.
34
Minori
The schedule Airi made is really incredible!
35
Minori
With just one look it tells you exactly when and where you're supposed to be, what outfit you should be wearing and where you need to enter from!
36
Airi
FYI, it wouldn't be doing its job if you couldn't tell at a glance what you're supposed to be doing.
37
KAITO
But I agree with Minori. It's very easy to pick out the information one needs. I think I'll use this for future reference.
38
Minori
Exactly! See?!
39
Airi
You seem way happier than I am about this.
40
Haruka
Anyway, KAITO, do you think you have enough information to help us...?
41
KAITO
Yes, what you've given me should be more than enough.
42
Airi
Thank goodness...!
43
KAITO
Hehe. So, let's begin with how everything is going to be set up.
44
Minori
Okay!
45
Shizuku
Thank you all very much!
You've given us such wonderful advice.
46
KAITO
It was our pleasure.
If anything, it was wonderful to see exactly how your solo show was coming along. And it was very fun!
47
Luka
KAITO's right. We were happy to help. Besides, doesn't the saying go “necessity is the mother of invention?”
48
MEIKO
Hehe. I feel like it's a tad bit different in this case.
49
KAITO
In any case, we're all looking forward to seeing you all shine on stage!
50
KAITO
Oh, that reminds me... Do you think you'll have any merchandise to spare?
51
KAITO
If possible, we'd like to use what we can get to cheer you all on during the show...
52
MEIKO
You sly fox...
53
Luka
But that would make watching their show just that much more fun♪
54
Airi
I totally agree! You've all been there for us until now, so we'll bring some over for all of you guys.
55
KAITO
Really?! Thank you very much!
56
Luka
Good luck, girls.
I don't think any of us can wait at this point.
57
Minori
Thank you! We promise to bring you the best solo show ever!
