Wow, this place is huge! And everything's so pretty!

Minori

Listen

Here we are, you guys!
I've arrived at the venue for the Phoenix Bridal Fair!

Comments

<It's way bigger than I imagined!>
<What's that thing in the back? An aquarium?>
<Tell us more!>
4

Minori

Listen

Heh heh heh. I can tell you're all really excited♪ So, lemme start reporting on what's around me!
5

Minori

Listen

Let's see... Based on the pamphlet they were giving out...
6

Minori

Listen

This is the second Phoenix Bridal Fair, and the theme of this convention is “A Smile-Filled Wedding Designed Just For You!”
7

Minori

Listen

It looks like the dress exhibit, fitting area and the chapel next door for mock weddings are all back from the first time.
8

Minori

Listen

But the exhibit's supposed to be even more amazing this time around! And you can experience ceremonies that you wouldn't see normally!
9

Comments

<Are they that unusual?>
<Can you tell us more?>
10

Minori

Listen

So... They have ceremonies for trains, aquariums and the great outdoors...
11

Comments

<Like on a real train?!>
<An aquarium wedding sounds really fun!>
<Oh, imagine getting married while surrounded by nature!>
12

Minori

Listen

Apparently, there's also a wedding show scheduled for later. And it finishes by saying, “We hope you enjoy this supercharged iteration of the Phoenix Bridal Fair!”
13

Minori

Listen

I didn't know about this wedding show...!
That sounds like a lot of fun!
14

Minori

Listen

So, everyone, what should we check out first?
15

Comments

<The train wedding!>
<The fitting area!>
<You should go wherever you like, Minori.>
16

Minori

Listen

Oh no! So many different suggestions...!
17

Minori

Listen

Hmm... Where to go first...?
They all sound really fun, but...

E-Excuse me... Are you in need of assistance?

Listen

If you'd like, I can tell you more about what's available on each floor...
20

Minori

Listen

Oh, that'd be great!
Then... Wait, huh?
21

Minori

Listen

N-Nene...?!

Nene

Listen

H-Hanasato...?!
23

Minori & Nene

Listen

Why are you...?!
24

Minori

Listen

Wh-What are you doing here, Nene?!
25

Nene

Listen

I-It's a long story...!
Anyway, Hanasato, you have your phone on a selfie stick. Does that mean...?
26

Minori

Listen

Huh? Oh no!
27

Comments

<Are you friends with the staff, Minori?>
<Oh, can we see your friend more?>
28

Minori

Listen

No...!
Nene's in frame!
29

Minori

Listen

(Wh-What do I do?! I can't show her without asking for her permission first. Also, even with the camera pointed back at me now, us just talking would reveal too much information about her...!)
30

Minori

Listen

(As much as I don't wanna do this to everyone who's watching right now...!)
31

Minori

Listen

I-I'm really sorry, you guys, but I have to pause here for a second, for my friend's sake!
32

Comments

<I had a feeling.>
<Come back soon!>
<Have fun.>

Minori

Listen

Ph-Phew... That was close...
34

Nene

Listen

Th-Thanks, Hanasato...
35

Nene

Listen

Also, I'm sorry for interrupting your stream like that. I really had no idea it was you... Anyway, I'll let you get back to what you were doing!
36

Minori

Listen

N-No, that's okay!
My viewers said they'd wait for me.
37

Minori

Listen

More importantly, what are you doing here? And that dress you're wearing...!
38

Nene

Listen

So, uhh... The thing is...
39

Minori

Listen

Oh, you're working as a part-timer!

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

40

Nene

Listen

Yeah, but no one told me that I'd be wearing this dress until I got here today. That was a pretty big surprise...
41

Minori

Listen

Really...?!
Still, it looks amazing on you!
42

Minori

Listen

I mean, it's so you!
Plus, your hair and makeup are spot-on!
You really look like you're about to get married today!
43

Nene

Listen

Th-Thanks...
I'm still a little embarrassed, but I appreciate the compliment...
44

Minori

Listen

Does this mean you're gonna be wearing that dress all day while helping the guests?
45

Nene

Listen

I will be helping the guests...
But my job today mostly centers around the show.
46

Minori

Listen

Oh, I saw that in the pamphlet!
You guys are doing a wedding show, right?
47

Nene

Listen

Yeah, that's right.
“The Happy Wedding Show” will be taking place later tonight.
48

Nene

Listen

And helping the guests while wearing this dress is supposed to double as an advertisement for that.
49

Nene

Listen

I know you might not be able to since you're doing a stream, but I hope you'll be free later to come and see it.
50

Minori

Listen

Of course!
I should be done streaming by then, so I'll be there!
51

Nene

Listen

Hehe. Thanks, Hanasato.
52

Nene

Listen

Anyway, I shouldn't keep you from your fans. Feel free to resume your stream and...

Ms. Kusanagi, do you have a minute?
Oh, hold on.
54

Female Staff Member

By any chance...
Are you Minori Hanasato from MORE MORE JUMP!...?
55

Minori

Listen

Huh?
Y-Yes, I'm Minori Hanasato...
56

Female Staff Member

I knew it!
I'd heard about your stream, but I still wasn't expecting to see you here in person...!
57

Female Staff Member

Oh, I'm sorry...
My name is Nozaki. I'm in charge of marketing for this event.

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

58

Nozaki

My daughter's actually a huge MORE MORE JUMP! fan, and we watch your streams together often. I couldn't help but get a little giddy...
59

Minori

Listen

Wait, is that true?!
Th-That's so wonderful to hear!
60

Nozaki

You two seemed to be having a rather friendly chat just now, Ms. Kusanagi...
61

Nene

Listen

Oh, um... We're acquaintances.
We go to different schools, but we've practiced singing together before...
62

Nozaki

Ah, so you are friends.
You two do seem to be around the same age.
63

Nozaki

Our target demographic also included girls in your age group, Ms. Hanasato, so I'm glad you decided to come. Again, I heard that you'd be doing a stream here today...
64

Minori

Listen

Yes, that's right! My streams involve visiting places my viewers want to go and talking about what I see. I was actually just about to start taking a look around.
65

Nozaki

Oh, really?!
Then, I hope you enjoy everything!
66

Minori

Listen

Thank you!
I plan on seeing as much as I can since my viewers sounded very excited about this convention!
67

Nozaki

Your viewers...
68

Nene

Listen

...?
Is something the matter, Ms. Nozaki?
69

Nozaki

...
Ms. Hanasato? If possible...
70

Nozaki

I'd like to make an official offer regarding your stream today. Would you be willing to accept?
71

Minori

Listen

What?!
72

Nozaki

I know this is very sudden.
Normally, I'd contact your manager about this and go through all the necessary steps with them...
73

Nozaki

But us running into each other like this has to be more than a simple coincidence. So, if it's possible, would you be able to accept my offer? There's just so much we want to tell your viewers...
74

Minori

Listen

Tell them...?
75

Nozaki

Yes, about just how much fun weddings are.
76

Nozaki

These days, you hear people saying weddings cost too much, or that they're too much bother.
77

Nozaki

But if someone your age used her platform to show just how much fun weddings really are and how low-stress they can be, I feel that you'd be able to reach a wide audience...
78

Minori

Listen

Oh...
79

Nozaki

But again, I know this is very sudden...
If you don't feel comfortable accepting, then I'll understand.
80

Minori

Listen

Okay!

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

81

Minori

Listen

Please give me a minute to discuss with our group's manager!
82

Minori

Listen

O-Oh, but...
I still plan on showing as many things as I can during my stream either way, so there's no need for you to worry there!
83

Nozaki

R-Really?
84

Minori

Listen

Yes, really!
I think the message you're trying to send is really nice, and I want to make the most of all the opportunities I can get as an idol!
85

Nene

Listen

...!
86

Nene

Listen

(That's incredible...
I wouldn't be able to make a quick decision like that if I were put in her situation.)
87

Nene

Listen

(Her experience as a professional idol really comes through.)
88

Nozaki

Thank you very much, Ms. Hanasato...!
I'd also like to discuss this with your manager.
89

Minori

Listen

Thank you!
90

Minori

Listen

Oh, actually... I've already started streaming, and I'm keeping everyone waiting right now... Would it be okay for me to resume in the meantime?
91

Nozaki

Yes, of course.
Please feel free to resume whenever you like.
92

Nozaki

Oh, actually...
Would you like a member of the staff to join you? That should make covering everything much easier.
93

Nozaki

I know.
Would you mind lending her a hand, Ms. Kusanagi?
94

Nene

Listen

Huh?
95

Nene

Listen

M-Me...?!

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

96

Nozaki

Yes, since you two seem to be friends.
I figured that her stream would go much smoother with you as her guide...
97

Nene

Listen

Y-Yes, you're probably right... But...
98

Nene

Listen

(Doesn't this mean I have to show my face in front of the camera...? While wearing this dress, of all things...)
99

Nene

Listen

(But Hanasato's viewers should be focused on her, so maybe I shouldn't be so worried. Still...)
100

Minori

Listen

Would you like to help me, Nene?!
Oh, but it's totally okay if you don't feel up to it...!

101

Nene

Listen

Oh no...!
Those puppy-dog eyes...!
102

Nene

Listen

(I guess this'll be good experience for me...)
103

Nene

Listen

(If I want to perform all around the world as a pro myself, I need to get comfortable dealing with these sorts of situations.)
104

Nene

Listen

Okay.
I'll do it.

Nozaki

You will?!
Thank you so much!
106

Minori

Listen

Yay!
Thanks for doing this, Nene!
107

Nene

Listen

Yeah.
Thanks for having me...
108

Nene

Listen

This is going to be my first stream ever, so I don't know how everything will go... But I promise to do what I can.
109

Minori

Listen

No problem!
Let's do our best together!
