TV Station - Studio

1

Arimura

*Sigh*
Technical difficulties... Missing forty minutes of footage puts us in a tough situation.
2

Minori

Listen

I'm surprised this kind of thing happened at a TV studio during a shoot...
3

Airi

Listen

Me too. I've heard of stuff like this happening, but this is my first time actually being on site as it did...
4

Haruka

Listen

This is the stuff of nightmares to the camera crew since such a simple mistake can cascade into fairly serious problems for the show.
5

Minori

Listen

I can't imagine...
6

Minori

Listen

(But this is really happening...
What does that mean for our shoot...?)

7

Kuromiya

Thank you all very much for your patience! As you probably just heard, we're having some technical issues...
8

Kuromiya

To summarize, I'm very sorry, but we'll have to reshoot everything we just did following the break...
9

MYU

Yes, I had a feeling...
10

Haruka

Listen

Which means we'll have to do MYU's segment all over again, including trying the food.
11

Yuika

Oh, I'm not so sure about this now...
We're going to sound really phony if we're not careful...
12

Minori

Listen

Y-Yeah...!
We have to act like it's our first time trying them...!
13

Shizuku

Listen

The audience is also going to have to sit through it again...
14

MYU

There's something else that's worrying me...
15

MYU

The packaging for everything that I brought in has been opened up. How do we make them look like new?
16

MYU

Worse, we went through most of what we had. They're in our stomachs now.
17

Shizuku

Listen

Oh no...!
18

MYU

So, I'm not sure we can redo my segment... We might want to try shooting something else.
19

Minori

Listen

Something else...?!
20

Haruka

Listen

Right. We can't really do a segment about delectables that we don't have...
21

Kuromiya

Yes, I agree.
I was hoping that we could come up with a solution together.
22

Kuromiya

However, we won't really be able to do anything that requires getting food or souvenirs from elsewhere...
23

Kuromiya

Which points to a talk segment.
Would it be possible for you to introduce some fabulous destinations...?
24

Airi

Listen

Fabulous destinations...?
Isn't that right up your alley, MYU?
25

Kuromiya

Feel free to talk about all the inns and hotels you like. We can always send some teams over to interview them at a later date.
26

MYU

...
Okay, I understand.
27

MYU

I've uploaded a lot of stuff to PicShare, so they might not seem all that new or interesting to our viewers. But I guess we don't have a choice...
28

Minori

Listen

(Oh...)
29

Minori

Listen

(Right. MYU worked really hard on this segment for the sake of everybody watching...)
30

Minori

Listen

(It'd be awful to see all her hard work go to waste by becoming something incomplete...)
31

Minori

Listen

(We don't have a choice but to change course here, but I feel like there's a better solution out there...)
32

Minori

Listen

(Something that more closely resembles MYU's original segment. Something that the audience will really enjoy...)
33

Minori

Listen

*Gasp*
34

Shizuku

Listen

Is something wrong, Minori?
35

Minori

Listen

No, uhh... I just had an idea...!
36

Minori

Listen

B-But it might not be a very good one since it really just popped into my head...
37

Haruka

Listen

Why don't you start by telling us?
Your idea could very well give us the hint we need.
38

Kuromiya

Yes, please tell us.
If your idea is better than the one I just suggested, then we'll go with that instead.
39

Minori

Listen

Really...?
40

Minori

Listen

Th-Then, okay...!
So...
41

Minori

Listen

What if we introduced all the souvenirs that the TV station sells?
42

MYU

This station's souvenirs?
43

Arimura

The gift shop here is open to the public.
Was your plan to introduce the stuff that we made on this show and the merchandise featuring this studio's mascots?
44

Minori

Listen

Yes! I visited just the other day and thought it was really cool how this is the only place where you can get a lot of those things.
45

Minori

Listen

Doing a segment on this station's gift shop seemed really fun, and they already have everything we need.
46

Minori

Listen

H-How does that sound...?!
47

MYU

...
That could actually work.
48

Minori

Listen

Huh...?
49

Yuika

I agree.
I feel like that's something MYU's followers could get behind.

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

50

MYU

I'm also really interested since I don't actually know what's available in the gift shop!
51

MYU

So, let's go with Hanasato's idea.
We can call it something like... “Check Out All The Cool Stuff In The Station's Gift Shop!”
52

Minori

Listen

Y-You mean it...?!
53

Kuromiya

Yes, we could get everything ready in no time and start a fun conversation viewers might not be expecting.
54

Kuromiya

Let's go with her idea...
We'll just need some time to get set up.
55

Kuromiya

Listen, everyone!
We need to be ready to shoot in thirty minutes!
56

TV Crew

Got it!
57

Minori

Listen

Oh...
58

Shizuku

Listen

That was amazing, Minori...!
You came up with a wonderful idea in such a short amount of time!
59

Airi

Listen

Yeah, I wasn't sure what was gonna happen, but I think you just saved the show...
60

Minori

Listen

I-It really just popped into my head, but I'm glad I could help somehow!
61

Haruka

Listen

Anyway, all that's left is to wait for them to get the set ready.
62

Shizuku

Listen

Right!
So until then...
63

Audience Member's Voice

They said they were just having some technical issues, right? What's taking them so long...?
64

Audience Member's Voice

Yeah, I hope they resume soon.
My bottom's starting to get a little sore...

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

65

Audience Member's Voice

Including the time they took to set up, we've been sitting for like three hours now... I knew that delays were possible, but nothing this long.
66

Minori

Listen

Oh no...
67

Haruka

Listen

The audience has been waiting for quite a while now...
68

Airi

Listen

Yeah, and they're being asked to stay in their seats outside of breaks. Those aren't exactly what you'd call comfortable, either...
69

Shizuku

Listen

I hope our shoot resumes soon...
70

Minori

Listen

Yeah...
71

Minori

Listen

(Also...)
72

TV Crew

Excuse me, Mr. Arimura?
The writer just finished making edits to the script. Would you mind taking a look with the producer?
73

TV Crew

Let's take this opportunity to touch up your makeup, Yuika!
74

TV Crew

The set's still cluttered from before, so get it ready to start again! Also, cameras, check your positions!
75

Minori

Listen

(The crew's scrambling to get ready, while I'm standing by doing nothing...)
76

Minori

Listen

(Isn't there a way for me to help...?
The crew, the audience, the other guests, anything...)
77

Crew Member

Hey, anyone free to go buy the souvenirs MYU needs from the gift shop?!
78

Minori

Listen

Oh...
79

Minori

Listen

Yes, I'm free!
I'll go buy them!
80

Airi

Listen

What?!
81

Minori

Listen

I'll be right back!

82

Crew Member

Hey, thanks a bunch...
83

Crew Member

Wait, Hanasato...?!
84

Haruka

Listen

Let's go with her.
She's probably going to need an extra hand.
85

Shizuku

Listen

Oh...
86

Airi

Listen

She's got the right idea.
We should follow her lead and also try to help.
87

Shizuku

Listen

I agree.
Let's tell the staff what's going on and go after her.
Several minutes later

88

Minori

Listen

We're back!
And we've got all the gift shop's best-selling items!
89

MYU

Th-Thank you so much.
I can't believe you actually went and got them for me.
90

Arimura

Wait, how much did you buy?
I don't think we'll be able to get through all this.
91

Minori

Listen

Oh, these snacks are for the audience!
92

Yuika

The audience?
93

Minori

Listen

Yes! We thought they deserved a reward for being so patient with us...
94

Minori

Listen

Also, we figured it'd be more fun for them if they got to have the same things we'll be having during the segment.

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

95

MYU

You've got everything covered...
96

Crew Member

Thank you very much...
But you really didn't have to do all this since it's technically the crew's job.
97

Minori

Listen

Oh, uh... I-I'm sorry for running off like that! I know we still need to redo our makeup and stuff...!
98

Minori

Listen

But it just didn't feel right for us to do nothing while everyone else scrambled to get things ready...
99

Minori

Listen

And it really didn't seem right to keep the audience waiting for so long...!
100

Arimura

Yes, it's important to never forget that...
101

Shizuku

Listen

Mr. Arimura...?
102

Arimura

You get into a habit of drawing lines when you're in a studio like this, but the crew and personalities all want the show they're working on to be good. We all want the audience to enjoy themselves.
103

Arimura

Which is why it's so important to take a step back, forget the lines in the sand and remind ourselves of what the audience is feeling.
104

Yuika

Yes, I agree...
105

MYU

I think you just taught us a valuable lesson, Hanasato. Your work ethic is beyond admirable.
106

Minori

Listen

What...?
107

Minori

Listen

N-No, I just...
108

Haruka

Listen

We still have some time left until we're supposed to resume, so how about we help pass these snacks out to the audience...?
109

Airi

Listen

Great idea! I'm sure they'll enjoy things even more if they get these from us personally.
110

Arimura

Yes, that would be a fun surprise.
111

Yuika

Alright, let's do it!
I'll start from the back!
112

Airi

Listen

Sorry about the delay, everyone!
We brought you a little treat for being so patient!

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

113

Audience Members

A treat?! For us...?!
114

MYU

We should be shooting again shortly, so we hope you'll enjoy these in the meantime.
115

Audience Members

MYU?! I can have this...?!
I'm a huge fan! I follow you on PicShare...!

116

Shizuku

Listen

Thank goodness...
The audience seems much happier now.
117

Haruka

Listen

Yeah, I hope this makes up for forcing them to suffer through this delay.
118

Minori

Listen

All that's left is to wait for the crew to finish getting everything set up.
119

TV Crew

Thank you all for your patience!
We're ready to roll! Please take your positions!
120

Airi

Listen

Alright, let's get right back to it!
121

Minori

Listen

*Nod*
122

Minori

Listen

Let's do everything we can to give the audience the show they really deserve!
123

Airi, Shizuku & Haruka

Listen

Yeah!
Yes!
