Minori
Phew...
2
Minori
Today was really fun!
It's been so long since I got to stay all day for classes!
3
Minori
But I can't let my guard down...!
We've got tests coming up, so I'll need to review what we went over today once I get home.
4
Haruka
Hi, Minori.
Are you ready to head over for our meeting today?
5
Minori
Oh! Hi, Haruka!
6
Minori
We're discussing what we're gonna do moving forward, right?! I'm so excited. It feels like it's been forever since we last met up on the rooftop♪
7
Haruka
Hehe. Me too.
We've been so busy with work lately that it's been rare for all four of us to be at school together.
8
Haruka
We have the MORE MORE HOUSE now...
But the rooftop is where everything began for us, so I'm hoping that we can keep coming back from time to time.
9
Minori
Me too!
Both the MORE MORE HOUSE and the rooftop mean so much to us, so...
10
???
Hey, you two!
11
Minori
Oh, Kaepon...!
And with most of our class!
12
Classmate
Long time no see, you two.
We know you've been busy, but is everything okay?
13
Haruka
Yes, we're grateful that we've been getting so many offers.
14
Minori
You've been showing up in so many magazines, Kaepon! You looked so pretty in the latest issue of “uou-ou”.
15
Kaepon
Thanks!
Along with uou-ou, I've been doing a ton of shoots for a bunch of different magazines lately.
16
Kaepon
But enough about me!
I saw you girls on “Chat A Lot About Nothing with Takashi Arimura!”
17
Minori
Wait, Kaepon, you watched...?!
18
Kaepon
Of course I watched!
I mean, I knew that my friends were gonna be on it!
19
Classmate
Same here!
I still can't believe that you all got to be on such a famous person's primetime program!
20
Haruka
Actually, we got pretty lucky there.
The group that was originally slated to go on had to cancel suddenly, and we were asked to fill in for them.
21
Minori
The producer just happened to be someone we had worked with earlier, and they were kind enough to give us a chance.
22
Kaepon
Wow, really...?!
I guess it goes to show how important it is to have connections!
23
Kaepon
Anyway, I loved it, and I doubt it could've gone better! I even overheard some girls talking about it when I stopped by the school store earlier.
24
Haruka
Now that you mention it, this might be the biggest response we've gotten so far.
25
Minori
Yeah!
Our name recognition's really been going up, so moving forward...
26
Minori
Whoa, look at the time!
27
Minori
Sorry, everyone!
We've gotta get to a meeting...!
28
Kaepon
Actually, I've gotta run to the studio too!
Sorry, I didn't mean to keep you two like this.
29
Classmate
But I'm really glad we got to talk.
Tell us more when you have some more free time!
30
Minori
We will.
Bye bye!
31
Haruka
Alright, shall we head up to the rooftop?
32
Minori
Yeah!
That was a nice boost of encouragement.
33
Minori
So we gotta keep doing our best!
Several dozen minutes later
Rooftop
34
Airi
Alright, now that we've all had a chance to report on our activities, I'd like for us to start discussing stream ideas next. But...
35
Minori
But?
36
Airi
I still can't believe how much everyone's been talking about that show.
37
Minori
Oh, Airi, you feel the same way...?!
38
Haruka
We actually just got to chat with our classmates about it.
39
Shizuku
While walking through the courtyard, I had some girls call out to me and say, “We loved that show! We're rooting for you!”
40
Shizuku
Some girls I haven't had a chance to talk to lately even sent me messages saying how they saw us on that show...
41
Shizuku
It's so nice to see how we're able to reach more people than ever now.
42
Airi
Hehe. Sounds like we all feel the same way.
43
Airi
To be fair, we have to thank our lucky stars for getting a chance to appear on that show. There's no guarantee that we're going to keep receiving such big offers...
44
Airi
However, there's no arguing that we've reached a turning point.
45
Minori
A turning point...?
46
Haruka
I agree. On top of us rising up the trend charts, we've been getting more and more new people following us.
47
Haruka
This means we'll need to consider their needs with regards to our streams since they're just starting to get to know us.
48
Minori
R-Right...!
49
Shizuku
So, for our next stream, should we come up with ways to tell our new viewers what we're doing and such...?
50
Airi
Yeah, but we shouldn't focus all our attention on them. Doing so would lead to us alienating our existing followers...
51
Minori
Then, let's introduce ourselves to our new viewers while also doing something fun that our existing ones will enjoy!
52
Haruka
How exactly...?
53
Minori
Uhh...
54
Minori
I haven't actually thought it all the way through...
55
Airi
Big swing and a miss.
56
Shizuku
But I think I understand what Minori's trying to say.
57
Shizuku
We should try putting on streams that all our viewers old and new can enjoy.
58
Haruka
Right.
59
Haruka
It won't be easy, but let's start coming up with ideas along those lines.
60
Airi
Yeah, sounds good.
61
Airi
But we're just about out of time, so let's end today's meeting here.
62
Shizuku
Oh, right...
I have to be somewhere after this.
63
Shizuku
We'll be having our next meeting at the MORE MORE HOUSE tomorrow, so let's keep thinking about what we talked about today until then.
64
Airi
Yeah... I'm hoping that we'll be able to get the ball rolling once we've got a few ideas under our belt.
65
Minori
Coming up with good stream ideas is really hard, but I promise to do my best again this time around...!
66
Airi
I'll also do my best to come up with something good.
67
Airi
Anyway, this meeting's adjourned!
See you all tomorrow!
68
Minori
Okay, see you!
