Minori

Listen

Phew...
2

Minori

Listen

There!
Clean as a whistle!
3

Shiho

Listen

The rabbits seem happy about their cage being clean again.
4

Shiho

Listen

Thanks for giving me all those tips for cleaning efficiently, Minori. That helped a lot.
5

Minori

Listen

Hehe. You're super welcome!
6

Minori

Listen

Still, Shiho, you said you were still trying to get the hang of things, but you really knew what you were doing!
7

Minori

Listen

When I first cleaned the cage, I remember flipping over their bowls by accident and slipping on the water...which was pretty embarrassing.
8

Shiho

Listen

I'm not sure that has anything to do with knowing how this process works.
9

Shiho

Listen

Oh, we should start heading back.
We have that committee meeting.
10

Minori

Listen

Oh, that's right!
Let's go!
11

Minori

Listen

Wait, we have like no time! We gotta hurry!

Listen

A special bit of news...?
16

Yes.
Please take a look at the last bullet point on the printout I gave you.

Listen

The last bullet point...?

18

Minori

Listen

Wait, it says, “Applications to shadow with the caretakers at Odaiba Animal Land”!
19

Teacher

“Providing an opportunity for students to dive into the world of animal welfare by helping to take care of various creatures.”
20

Teacher

With that goal in mind, it seems they're accepting applications from students attending any high school in the city.
21

Second-Year A

Hey, that sounds like fun!
Odaiba Animal Land's a fully indoor zoo, right?
22

Second-Year B

Yeah, they're pretty rare.
I remember seeing on TV how everyone goes to see the armadillos!
23

First-Year

Armadillos are so cute!
I've even heard that a lot of people are keeping them as pets now!
24

Minori

Listen

Wow, really...?!
25

Minori

Listen

That does sound like fun!
It's not every day that you get to work with real animals at a real zoo. I might actually apply...
26

Minori

Listen

What do you think, Shiho?!
27

Shiho

Listen

Yeah, this could be fun.
28

Teacher

Please let me know if you're interested.
They'll be accepting applications all through this week.
29

Third-Year A

Hmm... I really wanna go, but I have to take a test at my cram school that day...
30

Third-Year B

My club's going to a tournament!
I so wish I could go!
31

Minori

Listen

(I might not be able to go either since our schedule's been so packed lately.)
32

Minori

Listen

(Lemme take another look. This sheet says we'd be going the Saturday after next.)
33

Minori

Listen

(Wait a second!
If I recall correctly, the job on that day got cancelled.)
34

Minori

Listen

(Where's my planner...?)

35

Minori

Listen

(Yeah, I'm free! That means...)
36

Minori

Listen

Shiho, are you free on that day?
If you are, we could go—
37

Shiho

Listen

No, I was thinking about practicing alone that day.
38

Minori

Listen

Whaaat?!
39

Minori

Listen

B-B-B-B-But...!
You just said that it might be fun...
Would taking a little break be that bad?!
40

Minori

Listen

And I'm sure all the animals are gonna be super cute! Like, the armadillos and the...uh...armadillos!
41

Shiho

Listen

Are they your only example...?
42

Minori

Listen

M-More importantly... You just said that you're “thinking about” having practice that day. That means you're not fully decided yet, right?!
43

Minori

Listen

It's gonna be so much fun! I bet you'll even get to hold lots of little critters!
44

Shiho

Listen

Hold...little critters...
45

Shiho

Listen

Well...
46

Shiho

Listen

We have been practicing a ton lately, so a break might not be a bad idea...
47

Minori

Listen

Yay! Woohoo!
We get to take care of animals together!
48

Minori

Listen

Oh, excuse me!
We'd both like to take part in the shadowing opportunity!
49

Second-Year A

No fair! I wanna go!
50

Third-Year B

If it weren't for that tournament...
51

Teacher

Ah, excellent.
Then, Hanasato, Hinomori, I'll let them know that you'll be going.
52

Teacher

I'll get back to you on where and when you need to go on the day once all the details have been hammered out.
53

Minori

Listen

Thank you very much!
54

Minori

Listen

I, Minori Hanasato, swear to uphold the honor of Miyamasuzaka Girls Academy's animal caretaker committee by doing the best job I can!
55

Minori

Listen

Oh, and...
I'm sure Shiho here feels the same way!
56

Shiho

Listen

Geez...
What am I getting myself into?
57

Teacher

Hehe. I hope you have a fruitful experience.
58

Teacher

With that out of the way, that concludes today's meeting.
Thank you all for your time.
59

Minori

Listen

Thank you!
