Minori

“The bonds you've forged with your friends won't easily break.”

2

Minori

I want to believe that too!

3

Airi

Minori...

4

Shizuku

Which means...
We're all going to be credit-based, yes?

5

Haruka

Yeah.
So...

6

Haruka

We can start accepting those offers we initially couldn't.

7

Airi

Right...

8

Airi

(Thank you, Minori.
I really appreciate how seriously you've been taking this matter.)

9

Minori

Oh, while we're on the subject...
I tried coming up with a schedule to help myself imagine being in the credit-based course...

10

Minori

Take a look!
If Haruka and I are both credit-based, we'll be free during these hours.

11

Minori

Which means that one offer we thought we'd have to turn down would actually be—

12

Minori

...is about it. What do you think?

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

13

Shizuku

Yes, that was very easy to understand.
Thank you for the wonderful explanation, Minori.

14

Haruka

All this probably needs is a few minor fixes, right?

15

Airi

Yeah, it's put together better than I was expecting! Way to go, Minori!

16

Minori

Hehe... I used the ones you and Haruka made in the past as reference, Airi!

17

Minori

So, while we're at it, can you tell me what needs fixing so I know for the future?

18

Airi

Sure. Haruka, mind starting us off?

19

Haruka

I have a feeling that you're going to say the same, Airi, but these transit times did catch my eye...

20

Airi

Yeah. It's not a huge problem or anything, but it is a little concerning.

21

Minori

Oh, okay! Lemme take some notes!

22

Shizuku

Then, I will as well...

23

Haruka

Minori, your schedule does give us some extra time whenever we move between places...

24

Haruka

But we may need to give ourselves a little more since we'll probably be riding taxis more often.

25

Minori

Wait, taxis?

26

Airi

We'll be getting more TV exposure, right?
Using public transit's gonna become a bit tricky as the chances of people recognizing us goes up.

27

Minori

R-Right! I didn't think of that since we've never had any issues before!

28

Airi

One person may be no big deal, but the four of us together is probably gonna stand out.

29

Airi

Also, when it comes to public transit...

30

Airi

You don't have to plan quite as strictly in the city since we always have multiple options to choose from, but...

31

Minori

Oh! If we go to the countryside or something...!

32

Airi

Exactly. Trains don't run as often, and there might not even be any taxis around until you call one in.

33

Haruka

Even in other cities, it's more than possible to get lost when you're somewhere unfamiliar.

34

Airi

So, it's important for us to really do our research when we go outside the city.

35

Minori

Yeah, that makes sense!

36

Shizuku

Are there any other points of concern that you can think of?

37

Airi

Hmm... Well...

38

Haruka

I guess, food...?

39

Airi

Yeah, absolutely!

40

Minori & Shizuku

Food...?

41

Airi

Yeah! It's always good to scout out restaurants and stuff around meeting locations.

42

Airi

Under the right circumstances, you can ask directors, producers or other staff to go grab a bite with you.

43

Haruka

Which is really important. It's one of the few situations where you can casually get to know each other, and even hear about industry trends and all kinds of other info.

44

Airi

Plus, it's just nice to know what's available around where we're going.

45

Airi

If we're in a hurry, it's good to know where the convenience stores are or what places do takeout. And diners and whatnot for when we have a little time on our hands.

46

Haruka

Yeah, that does end up being really important. Worst case scenario, you might go a whole day without eating...

47

Minori

Oh... That sounds awful...

48

Shizuku

That unfortunately happened to me one time. I was so embarrassed when my microphone picked up my stomach rumbling.

49

Airi

Most shoots are fully catered, but during planning meetings they usually only serve some snacks.

50

Airi

Having a mic pick up your stomach growling's embarrassing, but so is chowing down on whatever's available...

51

Minori

Wait a second... Are you talking about me before our iHaz shoot...?

52

Airi

No, that was understandable.
Eating helps some people relax when they're nervous.

53

Airi

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that it's important to be extra careful!

54

Haruka

Trying to figure everything out on your own isn't exactly realistic, so it's always good to check with others, right?

55

Airi

Yeah. In fact, we could take this opportunity to assign ourselves to certain tasks.

56

Airi

Like... Minori, you research our transit options.
I'll start looking for delicious places to eat!

57

Haruka

You're not just after the right to have your pick of restaurants, are you?

58

Airi

Maybe, maybe not.

59

Minori

You totally are!
No fair, Airi!

60

Airi

Haha.
