Minori
So, I'd like for us to start discussing talk segment ideas for the shoot the day after tomorrow!
Miku & Rin
Okay!
MEIKO
Are you sure about none of you being tired? You already spent a lot of time today house hunting and had that meeting at the TV station to boot.
Shizuku
We may be substitutes for another group, but this is still a very big opportunity for us.
Haruka
Exactly. And we want to send in our idea today since there isn't much time left until the shoot.
Len
Anyway, you said that you're supposed to come up with your own segment. Does anyone have ideas for it?
Minori
While we were moving between those different houses today, Ms. Kawanishi told us about some other properties!

Kawanishi
There's actually an interesting property right near here.
Kawanishi
It's very spacious and includes three rooms, but they're all meant for bathing.
Minori
Yeah! One with a jacuzzi, another with a hot stone bath and the last one included a steam room!
MEIKO
Wait, if they're all bathrooms, is there nowhere to sleep?
Shizuku
That's right. Apparently, the original owner loved bathing so much that they decided to design multiple rooms just for that purpose.
Len
A heated waterfall?
As in a regular waterfall but with hot water?

Airi
The owner was so set on having a waterfall that they ended up moving out. As a result, this house is now available for rent.
KAITO
They moved out? Having a heated waterfall was that important...?
Miku
Hehe. I hope their new home has what they want.
Rin
Me too♪
Wait, hang on. You said something about a quiz.
Wait, hang on. You said something about a quiz.
Minori
The original owner of this house loved to do a certain thing so much that they decided to build three rooms with said activity in mind! What are these rooms for?
Minori
Hehe. The basement bedroom for this other house we heard about was called the “vampire room”. There were a lot I could turn into fun quiz questions!
Haruka
I agree. This could work, provided we can explain why we're doing a quiz on this topic.
Rin
Why? Because it's fun and interesting.
Haruka
For example, who should present a quiz based on funny responses to gags? An idol or a comedian?
MEIKO
Yes, I see. It would be odd for an idol to suddenly start talking about real estate.
Haruka
And we can't just tell everyone the truth by saying that these are all houses we heard about from an actual realtor while searching for our own...
Airi
We're being asked to appear on short notice this time, so we could sort of blur things by saying that we saw some interesting rentals while walking by our local real estate agency.
Airi
It's still not something idols would talk about normally, but we could try saying, “Has this ever happened to you?”
Minori
Thanks!
Now all we have to do is ask Ms. Kawanishi if we can talk about these, right?!

Airi
Right. The producer also has to sign off on it, so we might want to come up with a backup plan just in case.
Haruka
But we already have a viable option thanks to Minori, so we should have no problem replying today.
