1

Minori

Listen

...so a lot of things happened after that!
2

Luka

Listen

Yes, I see...
3

Miku

Listen

So, did that lady make it in time for the shoot?
4

Minori

Listen

Yeah! I told the receptionist what was going on, and they said they'd show her in from there! So, I'm sure everything worked out!
5

KAITO

Listen

Okay, that's good to hear...
6

Len

Listen

Still, talk about a busy day...
On top of going house hunting, you saved that old lady and had a meeting afterwards. I'm sure you're all tired...
7

Rin

Listen

Oh, how did that meeting go?
Can you tell us what this show you're gonna be on is like?!
8

Airi

Listen

Hehe. That's why we're here!
9

Airi

Listen

It's a late night talk show in the eleven o'clock slot. It's hosted by a famous comedian and they have a different set of guests on each week...
10

Shizuku

Listen

Which is where we come in.
11

MEIKO

Listen

That means you'll be joined by other guests. Do you already know who they are?
12

Minori

Listen

A model named Yuika and an influencer named MYU!
13

Airi

Listen

Not only are they both pretty famous, but the comedian hosting this show, Mr. Arimura, is one of the biggest names in the business. I'm getting nervous just thinking about that.
14

Miku

Listen

He's that famous...?!
15

MEIKO

Listen

It's incredible that you get to work alongside such celebrities.
16

Shizuku

Listen

Isn't this the most high-profile offer MORE MORE JUMP! has ever received?
17

Haruka

Listen

Yeah. The studio's so big that there's even room for a live audience.
18

Minori

Listen

This is the first time we'll have an audience watching as we do a shoot!
19

Minori

Listen

I'm so excited♪ What do you think that's gonna be like...?
20

Airi

Listen

I get your excitement, but we've still gotta come up with a good talk segment.
21

Miku

Listen

A talk segment?
22

Haruka

Listen

A part of the show involves segments that the guests come up with themselves.
23

Shizuku

Listen

Some past examples include making hamburgers with your favorite ingredients and trying to win 10,000 yen from the lottery.
24

Len

Listen

I see. And now you have to come up with one for yourselves...
25

Luka

Listen

That sounds both fun and difficult at the same time.
26

KAITO

Listen

Unlike your usual streams, the viewers of this show won't all necessarily know who you are. That means your segment needs to appeal to a wider audience.
27

Airi

Listen

Exactly. We have a lot to do in a short amount of time, but I'm sure we'll be able to figure something out by working together...!
28

Haruka

Listen

Also, we need to stay sharp since we have that interview afterwards to see if we can turn that place into the MORE MORE HOUSE.
29

Rin

Listen

O-Oh, right...
30

Len

Listen

You're super busy all of a sudden...
Please try to be mindful of your health.
31

Minori

Listen

Thanks, Len!
We promise to be extra careful!
32

Miku

Listen

Hehe. We'll be rooting for you.
And I can't wait to see this show.
The day of the shoot

33

Arimura

Alright, let's have our resident fashionista give her verdict!
34

Arimura

Who's more fashionable...?
It is Airi, or is it Minori?
35

Yuika

Personally, I don't think “cute” is the right word for what I'm seeing... I'd have to go with “interesting”...
36

Minori

Listen

Th-Th-Th-This was my attempt at a street look since I don't often wear these kinds of clothes!
37

Minori

Listen

This cap with a bandana tied around it is one of its biggest selling points.
38

Airi

Listen

W-Wait just right there!
No one said anything about us giving presentations on our outfits!
39

Airi

Listen

And I've got plenty to say!
Check out the king crabs on these socks! Talk about a cute touch! Aren't they adorable...?!
40

Minori

Listen

I-If we're gonna talk about nice touches, you should see the design on the shirt I'm wearing underneath!
41

Yuika

No, that's not fair since we can't see it right now. Also, not being able to come up with the word “undershirt” makes you sound like a fashion novice.

42

Shizuku

Listen

(Even though it's her first time on this kind of variety show, Minori's doing an incredible job.)
43

Haruka

Listen

(She says funny things without having to think about it, which really helps with these kinds of shows. I'm actually a little jealous...)
44

Minori

Listen

Y-Yes, I'm a novice when it comes to fashion, but I took a stab at trying something new! My socks are each a different color and...
45

Airi

Listen

Again, no presenting! How long do you plan on yammering on?!

Sound Effect: Play

46

Shizuku

Listen

(Airi's also doing well with her quips.)
47

Haruka

Listen

(But Airi would never wear this sort of outfit. I guess she went with it for the sake of the show...)

Sound Effect: Play

48

Haruka

Listen

(And the audience seems to be enjoying everything... We should be fine as long as we can keep this up.)

Sound Effect: Play

49

Arimura

And the winner of Yuika's Idol Fashion Check is... Minori! Congratulations!
50

Yuika

Choosing an outfit that uses five different types of fabrics was pretty interesting, and your presentation was fun to see.
51

Minori

Listen

Woohoo!
Thank you very much!
52

Airi

Listen

Grr... But my ocean-themed outfit...
I worked so hard to find clothes with crabs, crayfish and hermit crabs on them...!
53

Arimura

I honestly thought it was a coin toss in the end, but it's also clear that Yuika knows her stuff when it comes to fashion!
54

Arimura

Anyway, that concludes her segment!
And thank you both for participating, Airi, Minori.
55

Minori & Airi

Listen

Thank you very much!

Sound Effect: Play

56

Crew Member

Thank you all very much!
We'll be taking a short break here!
57

Crew Member

We'll resume in twenty minutes.
Any members of the audience that need to use the facilities should do so now.

Sound Effect: Play

58

Haruka

Listen

Nice work back there.
That segment Yuika came up with ended up being a lot of fun.
59

Haruka

Listen

You made all those great quips, Airi, and I really liked the outfit you picked out, Minori.
60

Minori

Listen

Hehe. I sorta jumped when I heard that my opponent would be Airi, but I'm so glad I ended up winning!
61

Minori

Listen

Wait, does this mean I have talent?
Am I really a fashionable person?!
62

Airi

Listen

If that's your takeaway, I'm extremely jealous of how happy-go-lucky you are...
63

Shizuku

Listen

Still, we did our segment right at the beginning, and it went well. All we have left is MYU's segment. We'll be done after that...
64

Haruka

Listen

Yeah, but we don't have any breaks left, so we need to stay sharp until the end.
65

Minori

Listen

Oh, I should go to the restroom while I can!
66

Airi

Listen

It should be somewhere over on the left after you exit the studio. Just be careful not to get lost on your way back.
67

Minori

Listen

Okay, be right back!

68

Minori

Listen

Phew... Thank goodness!
I managed to find my way back!
69

Minori

Listen

I thought I was gonna get lost since the hallways in these kinds of TV stations all look the same...

Miku

Listen

<Hi, Minori!
Your shoot's been going really well!>
71

Minori

Listen

Hi, Miku!
72

Minori

Listen

Were you watching?
73

Miku

Listen

<Yes, we've all been watching from inside your pocket!>
74

Miku

Listen

<That fashion check segment was really good! I'd love to see it again after it airs.>
75

Minori

Listen

You liked it that much...?!
Hehe. I really appreciate you saying that since I also had a lot of fun!
76

Miku

Listen

<The audience also seemed to enjoy everything. They were laughing and applauding the whole time...!>
77

Minori

Listen

Yeah, I'm also glad they're having such a fun time! Getting direct feedback like this has been really great, so I wanna keep doing my best after our break and...
78

Audience Member Ａ

So, where'd the original guests go?
Why is MORE MORE JUMP! or whoever here instead?
79

Minori

Listen

Huh...?
80

Audience Member Ａ

I was really looking forward to seeing LiLia here today. I mean, that's why I applied to be a member of the audience.

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

81

Audience Member Ｂ

Oh, they're overseas right now.
Apparently, they're having trouble flying back due to bad weather.
82

Audience Member Ａ

Wow, really?
So that's how those other girls ended up taking their place?
83

Audience Member Ａ

I mean, these things happen.
And MORE MORE JUMP! is trying their best...
84

Audience Member Ｂ

But I still wish LiLia were here.
85

Minori

Listen

...
86

Miku

Listen

<Minori...>
87

Minori

Listen

Right...
88

Minori

Listen

That's understandable. They applied to be a part of the audience because they wanted to see a specific group...
89

Minori

Listen

I mean, I'd be disappointed too if I were put in the same situation.
90

Miku

Listen

<I mean... Yes, that is understandable...>
91

Minori

Listen

We were sure that we could make today's shoot fun for everyone by doing what we always do...
92

Minori

Listen

But we really should've thought more about how we're replacing someone else...
93

Miku

Listen

<...>
94

???

Listen

Minori? Is that you?
95

Minori

Listen

Huh...?

96

Elderly Lady

Listen

Hello.
It's good to see you again.
97

Minori

Listen

You're that lady from the other day...!
