The next day
Ryusuiso - Lobby
1
Shizuku
Do we have all our things?
2
Minori
Yup, all set!
Miku and the others ran a quick check for us!
3
Miku
<And your tickets for the trip back are tucked away in your pockets!>
4
Airi
Hehe. Sounds like we're ready!
As much as I hate to, let's head out.
5
Airi
Oh, we should also thank Saito and...
6
Saito
You're leaving already?
7
Shizuku
Oh, your timing is impeccable!
We were just about to go thank you for everything.
8
Haruka
Thank you for these past three days.
The food was delicious and the baths were wonderful. We feel so refreshed that it's easy to forget that we came here for work.
9
Minori
Work or no work, we promise to come again!
10
Saito
Hehe. The proprietress is going to enjoy hearing that. We hope to see you back again soon.
11
Airi
So, we'll be leaving now, but do you know when you're going to be back in Tokyo?
12
Saito
I plan on going back once the festival is over and things have settled down.
13
Shizuku
Hehe. We wish you the best of luck.
Also...
14
Shizuku
When you do return, we'd like to have another discussion about you becoming our manager.
15
Shizuku
Next time, we promise to have the details regarding your contract all sorted, including your compensation.
16
Saito
Shizuku...
17
Airi
Oh, of course...
If you think becoming the manager of MORE MORE JUMP! isn't what you want to do, please feel free to turn us down.
18
Haruka
Right.
After all, you fulfilling your dream is what matters most to us.
19
Saito
All of you...
20
Saito
Thank you so much.
21
Saito
I'm afraid that I not only caused Shizuku a lot of trouble, but made you all worry about me too.
22
Saito
But...
23
Saito
After all of that, my mind is already made up.
24
Shizuku
What...?
25
Saito
I don't need to see my contract.
26
Saito
Please! Let me become your manager!
27
Minori
What?!
28
Airi
W-Wait, slow down.
We're not exactly in any position to talk since we rushed into asking you the other day...
29
Airi
But we can't really agree to anything before we have your contract figured out. We've gotta hammer all that out first.
30
Saito
No, I don't care!
I owe you all an enormous debt!
31
Shizuku
A debt? No, we didn't do anything like...
32
Saito
No, you did!
33
Saito
You turned my vague wishes into a concrete dream. You made me want to keep moving forward.
34
Saito
And this time, you gave me the courage to go after my dream!
35
Saito
I don't know how I'm ever going to repay you all for what you've done.
36
Saito
But I promise to do what I can.
I'll do anything!
37
Shizuku
Saito...
38
Saito
O-Okay, maybe that's going a little too far. But in any case...
39
Saito
I know that being a manager is the furthest thing from easy. I'm going to have to be there for all of you during more than just events and such.
40
Saito
I've never been a manager before...
I've studied how to be one a little, but I'm still just a student. I have no real-world experience. Regardless...
41
Saito
I vow to do everything in my power to let everyone out there know how great MORE MORE JUMP! is.
42
Shizuku
Saito...
43
Saito
I don't plan on receiving any special treatment just because I have zero experience. My goal will be to get this group whatever jobs you want from wherever I can.
44
Saito
Until all your dreams come true.
45
Saito
No, beyond that...
I want to witness what you're all going to achieve.
46
Shizuku
...
47
Saito
So...
48
Saito
Please, let me be your manager!
I beg you!
49
Shizuku
Thank you very much, Saito.
Your words have left us elated.
50
Saito
...!
Then!
51
Shizuku
We would love to have you.
52
Shizuku
We know you didn't make this decision lightly, and I promise to never forget that...
53
Shizuku
I'm so excited.
We really get to go on this journey together.
54
Shizuku
So, now that we're together.
55
Shizuku
Your dreams, our dreams...
Let's do our best to make them all come true!
56
Saito
Shizuku...
57
Saito
Yes, let's do that!
58
Luka
<Hehe. That's so wonderful.>
59
Len
<Yeah.>
60
Airi
But really, let's have another discussion soon regarding your contract...
61
Minori
Yeah, since you won't be able to make a living on zero pay!
62
Haruka
Of course, we won't make you sign anything like that.
63
Saito
Hehe. Thank you.
I'll let you all know once I'm back in Tokyo.
64
Shizuku
Yes, we'll be waiting!
65
Minori
Hehe. This is so great!
You're really gonna be our manager!
66
Minori
That means our next event's guaranteed to be super spectacular!
67
Haruka
Yeah.
We'll need to start hammering out all the details for that.
68
Saito
I'm still in talks with that one venue, so it may be good for us to work on some of your ideas while we wait to hear back from them.
69
Saito
While we're at it, would you mind sharing your schedule with me again? I'd like to book a place for our next meeting.
70
Shizuku
Oh...
That's so kind of you!
71
Airi
Yeah, that'd be huge.
We always have a hard time booking rental meeting rooms during our free time.
72
Minori
Sometimes the place we want is completely booked... Whenever that happens, we have to find somewhere else on the fly, which is always really tough...
73
Saito
Yes, those sorts of little things can add up to a lot of time lost. But I'll be taking care of all that from now on!
74
Saito
Still, it would be nice to have a dedicated place where you could all meet and practice whenever you like. Most of the big agencies have buildings just for those purposes.
75
Haruka
I suppose that's one of the drawbacks of freelancing.
76
Shizuku
Yes...
And it's not like we can just build one ourselves...
77
Airi
Build one ourselves...
78
Airi
Yeah, why don't we do that?!
79
Shizuku
What?!
80
Minori
W-We're gonna build a house?!
81
Airi
That's probably out of the question.
But buying isn't our only option. We can always rent.
82
Airi
That seems a lot more realistic, right...?
83
Airi
A place where we can practice, have meetings, shoot and edit videos—every aspect of our work. A place MORE MORE JUMP! can call home.
84
Airi
We can call it...
The MORE MORE HOUSE!
85
Haruka
The...
86
Minori
MORE MORE HOUSE?!
