Shizuku
But I... On behalf of all of us, I'd like to officially ask you to become our manager.
Shizuku
Remember how you said while we were preparing for our solo show how it was your dream to assist and support idols for a living, and that you'd started studying how to be a manager?

Saito
After helping put on your last event, I've decided that I want to assist and support idols for a living...
Saito
And that's what made me want to learn more about this industry! That's why I also began studying how to become a talent manager while really trying to get the most out of my current job!
Airi
Yeah.
We sprang this on you kinda suddenly, so you can give us your decision once we've given you all the details regarding your job description, compensation and—

This is such an honor.
I genuinely love your group and couldn't be happier about the praise you just gave me.

I can't believe this is really happening... Am I dreaming...? I'm elated, to put it mildly.

Saito
I feel awful about not being able to accept your generous offer... I'm still not sure I'm really worthy...
Saito
But I promise to make your next event a good one! So, let's figure out what we can do to prepare for it right now!

KAITO
That's so unfortunate...
Based on what you've all said, she's really been there for you in so many ways. Having her as your manager would've been heartening.

Rin
But what does her family have to do with all this...? Do you think something happened between her and them?
Airi
Right...
We were really hoping that Saito would accept our offer, but we shouldn't press any further if she has her reasons.

Now I remember.
You mentioned something about heading over a day early and staying in an inn because going there and back in one day would be too hard.

No fair! That sounds like so much fun!
I know it's for work, but you get to travel together!

Haruka
Hehe. We do.
But we can still have some fun together. We'll be sure to let you all know once we arrive.

Rin
Hey, check it out! I found the perfect outfit for our trip in the dressing room! I'm all set now♪
Luka
Aren't you getting a little ahead of yourself? They don't go for a few more days, right?
Len
I read in that magazine they lent us the other day about how their menu centers around local delicacies.
MEIKO
And above all else, the hot spring's supposed to be first-rate. I wish I could go since theirs apparently does wonders for your skin.
Minori
Hmm... That might be hard since we can't take our phones in the hot spring with us...
Shizuku
But I'm sure you'll still get to enjoy everything else that the inn has to offer. You at least have that to look forward to.
Airi
We just happen to get to stay at a nice inn! Our job is still to put together a successful on-site shoot!
Shizuku
(KAITO...
He must've realized that we were feeling a bit down and changed the subject to try to cheer us up.)
