1

Shizuku

I'm so sorry, everyone.
Our livestream was a disaster because of me...

2

Minori

No, it's not your fault, Shizuku!

3

Minori

Just look at your dancing! You were perfect!
Your conversation was interesting too as usual...!

4

Shizuku

As usual...

5

Shizuku

But my usual self isn't good enough...

6

Minori

Huh?

7

Airi

I'm sorry I wasn't able to support you like I said I would, Shizuku. I guess it's not as easy as I thought...

8

Airi

I should've been more mindful of just how strong your Cheerful*Days image still is...

9

Haruka

What do you mean by that?

10

Shizuku

My fans still have the same impression of me from when I was in Cheerful*Days.

11

Haruka

Which is what, exactly...?

12

Shizuku

The beautiful idol who can do anything. The one everyone looks up to. That's the Shizuku Hinomori of Cheerful*Days.

13

Haruka

Oh...

14

Shizuku

So many people put in a lot of effort to help me maintain that image.

15

Shizuku

They gave me acting lessons, edited my videos...

16

Shizuku

I was taught how to be the perfect idol in front of my fans.

17

Airi

...

18

Shizuku

The fans who have been supporting me since my time in Cheerful*Days are expecting to see that version of me.

19

Shizuku

Which is why...
I'm not supposed to ruin that image.

20

Shizuku

I'm not supposed to be my usual self.

21

Minori

Shizuku...

22

Shizuku

I'm so sorry, everyone.

23

Haruka

Please... Don't apologize, Shizuku...

24

Haruka

Airi and I also have public images that were cultivated with our previous groups.

25

Haruka

So there's likely going to be a gap in the way our fans see us now, but there isn't really much we can do about that.

26

Haruka

That's why I figured it would be for the best if we could try to establish a new image little by little as MORE MORE JUMP!

27

Haruka

But I didn't expect your fans' perception of you to be so stuck in stone...

28

Haruka

This is just as much my fault for not properly taking these sorts of risks into account when we were planning things out...

29

Shizuku

...

30

Airi

We're gonna have to come up with some way of dealing with this...

31

Haruka

When you were in Cheerful*Days, your agency and the television staff were the ones who decided what your image would be, right?

32

Shizuku

Yes. Whenever I said something that didn't quite match the image they wanted me to have, they would edit it out of the final cut.

33

Shizuku

I even had scripts for concerts, and they also made it so the other members would do most of the talking.

34

Airi

Having the rest of us do the talking would be difficult. It works for a big group like Cheerful*Days, but it'd feel wrong if we tried doing it with only the four of us.

35

Haruka

But video editing might be doable...

36

Haruka

I've never tried it before, so I doubt I can do as good a job as a professional, but I'll learn what I can before our next video.

37

Airi

But if we do that, it'll mean no more livestreams...

38

Shizuku

...

39

Shizuku

(If we edit each video, we may be able to protect my image...)

40

Shizuku

(But that also limits the ways MORE MORE JUMP! can reach its fans.)

41

Shizuku

(Of course, we can still reach plenty of fans even without doing livestreams but...)

Comment

<I wanna see your dance practice!>
<I can't wait!>
<Good luck!>

43

Shizuku

(I feel like the current plan is the best way to spread hope and show the fans who we are now.)

44

Shizuku

(So... I have to make a decision.)

45

Shizuku

(Protect the fans' image of Shizuku Hinomori, or go with MORE MORE JUMP!'s best option for spreading hope to the fans...)

46

Shizuku

...

47

Shizuku

I'm sorry...
May I have some time to think this over?

48

Shizuku

I... I promise to find the answer.

49

Haruka

Of course. We'll be waiting...

50

Minori

Shizuku...
