Hello? This is Kiritani.
2

Saito

Listen

<It's Saito. I'm really sorry about making you all go meet that producer without me.>
3

Saito

Listen

<So, can you tell me what happened?
I'd like an update if possible...>
4

Haruka

Listen

Just a moment.
Let me put you on speakerphone...

Minori

Listen

Saito? Can you hear me?
6

Shizuku

Listen

Hello?
7

Saito

Listen

<Yes, I can hear you!>
8

Airi

Listen

Your timing couldn't have been better.
We were actually just about to call you after we managed to snag a meeting room.
9

Haruka

Listen

Anyway, as for our situation...
10

Haruka

Listen

...and after sharing our talk segment idea for that portion of the show, the producer gave us the okay.

Airi

Listen

Next, we'll need to find some good images and other media for our segment. We'll let the producer know once we do, and then the crew can start turning them into panels and stuff.
12

Saito

Listen

<You're being asked to do that?
I thought that was the show's responsibility...>
13

Haruka

Listen

Normally, yes. Unfortunately, there isn't any time for us to check over everything they make.
14

Haruka

Listen

So, it's just easier at this point for us to find the images we want to use for panels and such.
15

Saito

Listen

<I see... This is more work than I was expecting for you to be given.>
16

Saito

Listen

<How are you all feeling?
You must be tired after looking at all those houses yesterday, and the shoot is tomorrow.>
17

Airi

Listen

No, we're great!
After all, this is a huge opportunity for us.
18

Minori

Listen

What she said!
We're gonna find a way to succeed no matter what!
19

Saito

Listen

<All of you...>
20

Saito

Listen

<Please let me know if there's anything I can do!>
21

Saito

Listen

<I can't be there with you right now, but I am still your manager!>
22

Shizuku

Listen

Yes, we will.
23

Haruka

Listen

We should be able to figure this out as long as we work together.
24

Saito

Listen

<Okay! Then, we'll talk again soon.>

25

Haruka

Listen

Thank goodness we got a chance to tell Saito about what happened.
26

Minori

Listen

Yeah! But I'm still having a hard time believing it's only been a day since we went house hunting...
27

Haruka

Listen

Me too. It feels like something that happened ages ago for some reason.
28

Airi

Listen

Really? It's still pretty fresh in my mind.
Remember how you broke that doorknob in that second house we saw, Haruka?
29

Haruka

Listen

Again, I didn't break it...
It was already broken, and Ms. Kawanishi agreed.
30

Haruka

Listen

Still, my heart did skip a beat when it literally came off the door...
31

Haruka

Listen

I was just wondering what was in that room, and it ended up coming apart as I turned it...
32

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. We even looked at each other while wondering what we were going to do about it.
33

Haruka

Listen

Since “you break it, you buy it” can also apply to houses.
34

Airi

Listen

I'm not against old houses or anything, but that one might've been a bit too well-worn for my taste...
35

Minori

Listen

Haha... Imagine if the windows were cracked and there were cobwebs everywhere like a haunted house...
36

Airi

Listen

To be fair, I guess it was just clean enough to be livable.
37

Airi

Listen

But the stains we saw on the floor probably meant that the roof leaks.
38

Haruka

Listen

That would explain why the floor in the practice room felt so flimsy.
39

Minori

Listen

But a leaky roof could be kinda fun.
40

Haruka

Listen

Huh?
41

Minori

Listen

You know how some things go clink and some go clonk when raindrops hit them?
42

Minori

Listen

I remember taking a bucket out onto the balcony during rainy days when I was little because I liked hearing those sounds so much.
43

Shizuku

Listen

I know what you mean. Shii and I used to sit and play beneath the eaves of our house when we were little.
44

Shizuku

Listen

We brought along empty cans and bowls to see what sorts of sounds they'd make.
45

Haruka

Listen

Hehe. I can already see you two having so much fun.
46

Airi

Listen

I like hearing raindrops too, but I still don't wanna deal with a leaky roof.
47

Airi

Listen

Also, we're getting way off topic...
We have to decide what we need for our talk segment fast!
48

Haruka

Listen

But you're the one who brought up that doorknob, Airi.
49

Airi

Listen

Fine, I give. I'm sorry I had to poke fun at you.
50

Airi

Listen

Anyway, we only have this room for a little bit, so let's get cracking.
51

Haruka, Minori & Shizuku

Listen

Okay.
Okay!
