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

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

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

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

Everyone! I'm all ready!

Oh...!
That sounded like...

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

<Thanks, Nene and Minori's other friends!>
<We got to hear some good stories.>

Hehe. Nice work, Kusanagi.

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

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

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

Right.
Are you ready, Minori?

Ready!

Thank you all very much for your patience!

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

Ta-daa!

Hehe. Look how I've transformed...!

H-How do I look?
Oh, lemme spin around for you♪ Haha.

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

Hehe...
Thanks, everyone!

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

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

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

Yeah, you do look amazing in it.

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

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

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

I'm so glad for you!

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

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

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

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

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?

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

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

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

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

Hehe. Thanks.

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

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

Okay!

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

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

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

Huh? A proposal?

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

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

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

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.

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

Alright, I'll let Ms. Nozaki know.

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

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

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

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

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

Okay!

<Thanks, everyone!>
<They seem like really nice girls.>
<Bye bye!>

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

<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?>

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

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

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

Oh, those costumes are for everyone playing the angels.

The angels?

Yeah, the wedding angels.

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

Yes, please!
Take it away.

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.

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

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

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

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

Yeah, that's right.

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

Something very important...?

She's reminded of how she met her fiancé.

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.

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

<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!>

Yeah, I know what you guys mean!

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

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

Hehe. I'm glad to hear that.

I'm also glad to hear you say that.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

How much fun weddings are...

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

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

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...

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.

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

Yes, let's!

...

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

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

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

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

W-We have an emergency, Mr. Okamura...!

Hm? Slow down. What's wrong?

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

What...?!
