MEIKO
Hehe. Our rehearsal went off without a hitch, so I'm sure everyone's going to enjoy the show tomorrow.
MEIKO
Hm? Minori...?
What are you doing here all by yourself?

Minori
Oh, MEIKO!
Minori
Um... Can I ask for a favor?
MEIKO
I see...
MEIKO
So, you've been trying to practice answering questions that you may be asked during your iHaz shoot, but you're not sure if you're going about it correctly?
Minori
Yeah... That's why I kinda want to talk to someone about this, but it's pretty late and the others are probably already asleep...
MEIKO
Which brought you to us.
Hehe. It's nice to hear that we're reliable.

Minori
That's because you guys are.
You've helped me out so much already...

Then, don't hesitate to ask.
Especially since I want your TV appearance to lead to more and more people learning about you girls.

MEIKO
“Your fans helped make the outfits you're wearing today, right?”
Minori
Y-Yes, they did...!
We were really worried about what outfits to wear since it's our first time appearing on TV...

Minori
But we decided to wear these for this appearance because we wanted to tell all our fans just how much we appreciate what they've done for us!
MEIKO
(I see...)
Minori
How did I do, MEIKO?
Minori
I want to do better during the actual shoot, so please don't hold back! Lay it on me!
MEIKO
Okay....
MEIKO
Firstly...
Your mouth was a bit all over the place.

Minori
Huh? Wah! W-Wait!
HEIKO, my heeksh! Hat hickles!
HEIKO, my heeksh! Hat hickles!
MEIKO
Hehe. That should loosen them up a little.
MEIKO
When you were speaking just now, Minori, you sounded like you were in a big hurry.
Minori
R-Really?!
MEIKO
Yes, really. Even for the parts where you need to stop and take a breath, you rushed ahead seemingly in order to introduce yourself as quickly as you could.
MEIKO
(She wants to do her best, but that may be causing her to become a little too anxious or flustered.)
MEIKO
(But I understand how she feels...
Shizuku already mentioned how she wants the shoot to go well by explaining what happened between her and Cheerful * Days.)

MEIKO
Minori, nothing good will come about if you panic.
MEIKO
So, try focusing on saying what you want one word at a time.
MEIKO
Let's start by taking a deep breath!
Breathe in... Breathe out...
Breathe in... Breathe out...
Minori
Okay!
Minori
Breathe in... Breathe out...
MEIKO
One more time! Breathe in... Breathe out...
Minori
Breathe in... Breathe out...

Minori
Thank you so much, MEIKO!
Minori
I think I have a much better idea of what I need to do now!
MEIKO
Hehe. I'm glad to hear that.
Then, let's keep practicing while we have some momentum!

Minori
Okay! Oh, before we do...
Minori
I came up with some questions that aren't in the script that I think they're going to ask us! Would you mind taking a look at them?
Minori
Also, I'd love to hear any that you come up with that you think I missed!
MEIKO
Of course!
Let's practice as much as we can♪
