Nene

Listen

So, we ended up training a lot together and we both performed at the Fan Festival.

Ena

Listen

Wow, I didn't realize you two worked so hard.
3

Honami

Listen

I knew that Hanasato was an incredible person, but so are you, Kusanagi.
4

Nene

Listen

N-No, I'm really nothing special...

Minori's Voice

Everyone! I'm all ready!

Nene

Oh...!
That sounded like...

Minori, right?
Thank goodness. That means our thirty minutes are up.

<We got to hear some good stories.>

Honami

Listen

Hehe. Nice work, Kusanagi.
10

Nene

Listen

Thank you all very much.
I couldn't have done this without you.
11

Ena

Listen

You're welcome.
But to be fair, all we really did was chat.
12

Ena

Listen

Anyway, I guess it's time for Minori to dazzle us all.
13

Shiho

Listen

Right.
Are you ready, Minori?
14

Minori's Voice

Listen

Ready!

The newlywed bride, Minori Hanasato, will now enter!
I hope you'll all give her a big round of applause!

<That looks amazing on you!>
<Pink suits you really well.>
<You look so adorable. My eyes are starting to well up.>
21

Minori

Listen

Hehe...
Thanks, everyone!
22

Nene

Listen

That does look really amazing on you, Hanasato...!
23

Honami

Listen

I agree!
Oh, look at all the flowers on this dress. That's so cute.
24

Ena

Listen

And this color's perfect.
It really suits your sunny personality, Minori.
25

Shiho

Listen

Yeah, you do look amazing in it.
26

Minori

Listen

Hehe. I'm probably blushing like crazy from all this praise...
27

Comments

<No fair! I wanna try on a dress too!>
<I might try going there if I can.>
28

Nene

Listen

Your viewers seem interested in actually coming here.
All because of your hard work, Hanasato.
29

Honami

Listen

I'm so glad for you!
30

Minori

Listen

No, I've done hardly anything!
More importantly, I need to thank all of you for doing that segment while I was gone!
31

Comments

<That was fun!>
<I learned today that Minori is Minori wherever she goes.>
<You should do another segment like this again sometime.>
32

Shiho

Listen

You're welcome.
I'm just glad we were able to help.
33

Minori

Listen

Alright, now that I've changed into my dress, let's check out the next booth...
34

Minori

Listen

No, on second thought...!
I'm sure you all have plans after this. Especially you, Nene. Don't you have to start getting ready for your show soon?
35

Ena

Listen

I'm actually free today, but what's this show you're talking about?
36

Minori

Listen

Oh, Nene's playing the lead in the show that's taking place later this evening!
37

Shiho

Listen

Oh, that could be fun...
It might be worth seeing before heading home.
38

Honami

Listen

I agree!
It'll be something we can tell the others about later.
39

Nene

Listen

Hehe. Thanks.
40

Nene

Listen

I'm actually still free for about the next hour, but I will have to go once that time comes...

41

Nene

Listen

Sorry, I need to take this call.
It's Ms. Nozaki.
42

Minori

Listen

Okay!

Sound Effect: Play

43

Nene

Listen

Hello? This is Kusanagi.
Yes... Okay...?
44

Nene

Listen

What?
Yes, of course. I'll try asking her now...
45

Nene

Listen

Can we talk for a second, Hanasato?
Ms. Nozaki has a proposal for you.
46

Minori

Listen

Huh? A proposal?
47

Nene

Listen

Yeah, she was wondering if you'd like to stream us getting ready for our show.
48

Minori

Listen

What?!
B-But that's only for the staff to see, isn't it?! Is she sure about this?!

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

49

Nene

Listen

Yes.
She said that she'd really appreciate it if you could include a sort of making-of segment...
50

Nene

Listen

I'd also like for everyone to see what goes on behind the scenes. The director and other cast members all worked really hard to make this show happen, after all.
51

Minori

Listen

Okay...!
In that case, I'd love to!
52

Nene

Listen

Alright, I'll let Ms. Nozaki know.
53

Minori

Listen

Oh, but...
If I'm headed backstage, then doesn't that mean we have to sort of part ways for now...?
54

Shiho

Listen

Right.
They don't need a bunch of outsiders getting in the way back there.
55

Minori

Listen

*Sob*
I'm so sorry... After asking you all to help me, too!
56

Ena

Listen

No, that's okay.
We understand the position you're in.
57

Honami

Listen

Right.
So, Hanasato, let's meet again in the audience when the show starts.
58

Minori

Listen

Okay!

Comments

<Thanks, everyone!>

Minori

Listen

Alright, this is the rehearsal room for the show! Can you guys see everything okay?
61

Comments

<Whoa, look at all the cast members!>
<I've never seen anything like this before!>
<Do you spend a lot of time in these kinds of places, Nene?>
62

Comments

<I'm seeing a lot of dresses and tuxedos. Are they all costumes?>
63

Minori

Listen

Oh, right!
This show's about a wedding, so I guess it's natural for dresses and tuxedos to... Huh?
64

Minori

Listen

Why do these ones have wings on them...?
65

Nene

Listen

Oh, those costumes are for everyone playing the angels.
66

Minori

Listen

The angels?
67

Nene

Listen

Yeah, the wedding angels.
68

Nene

Listen

Actually, that probably isn't very helpful...
So, mind if I gave you a brief overview of the story?
69

Minori

Listen

Yes, please!
Take it away.
70

Nene

Listen

Today's performance is titled “The Happy Wedding Show,” and its theme revolves around putting together the happiest wedding possible in the style that you want.
71

Nene

Listen

My character, the protagonist, isn't sure at first if she even wants to hold a wedding at all.
72

Nene

Listen

That's when the wedding angels, the patrons of marriages, appear before her.
73

Nene

Listen

She gradually begins to change her mind as they show her various examples of different ceremonies.
74

Minori

Listen

Wow...!
Wait, examples of different ceremonies... Does that include the train wedding and the one at the aquarium we talked about earlier today?
75

Nene

Listen

Yeah, that's right.
76

Nene

Listen

At the end, she's reminded of something very important when she sees a wedding take place at a live house.
77

Minori

Listen

Something very important...?
78

Nene

Listen

She's reminded of how she met her fiancé.
79

Nene

Listen

She met him when she went to see a concert for this one idol. After remembering what happened, she decides to have her wedding at a live house.
80

Minori

Listen

She decides to have her wedding at a live house because of that idol's concert...?! That's so beautiful!!!
81

Comments

<Marrying someone you met at a concert! Talk about living the dream!>
<The wedding itself would probably feel like a concert too after inviting all your friends!>
82

Minori

Listen

Yeah, I know what you guys mean!
83

Nene

Listen

Anyway, that's about how the story goes for this show...
84

Minori

Listen

Thanks, Nene!
I feel even more excited about seeing it now♪
85

Nene

Listen

Hehe. I'm glad to hear that.
86

Man

I'm also glad to hear you say that.
87

Minori

Listen

Huh?! Oh, and this is...?!
88

Nene

Listen

Oh, this is Mr. Okamura. He's the director of our show.
89

Okamura

It's a pleasure to meet you.
And thank you for advertising our show like this.

Minori

Listen

No, thank you for coming over to talk to us!
My name is Minori Hanasato!
91

Minori

Listen

Again, I'm very much looking forward to seeing the show!
92

Okamura

I really appreciate it.
This show was built around the idea of showing everyone just how much fun weddings are. I hope that message comes across clearly.
93

Minori

Listen

How much fun weddings are...
94

Okamura

Have you noticed how fewer and fewer young people are holding weddings these days?
95

Okamura

Of course, they're all free to choose whether or not to actually have one. It's perfectly fine to decide against.
96

Okamura

But I fear that some of them will look back in regret by the time they've turned my age. That they missed an opportunity to share their happiness with others...
97

Okamura

Of course, the financial aspect can become a source of stress for many, but deciding against it without understanding what they have to offer seems like a bit of a shame.
98

Okamura

Which is why I want us to show just how much fun weddings are. So, Ms. Kusanagi, let's do our best today.
99

Nene

Listen

Yes, let's!
100

Minori

Listen

...
101

Minori

Listen

(Mr. Okamura, Ms. Nozaki and Nene all feel the same way.)
102

Minori

Listen

(They want everyone watching to see that weddings are fun. Even just a little bit.)
103

Minori

Listen

Hehe...
Now I'm more excited about seeing it!
104

Okamura

That's wonderful to hear.
Now, the rest of us need to make our final preparations...

Okamura

Hm? Slow down. What's wrong?

Staff Member

It's one of the cast members. She tripped, and...
