Haruka

Listen

*Nod*
I think that was the best run we've had of it so far.
2

Airi

Listen

Yeah!
Then, let's take a ten-minute break, but let's not forget how that felt!
3

Minori

Listen

Okay!
Time for some water...
4

Minori

Listen

Oh, Shizuku, that reminds me!
Have you heard back about your audition yet?

Shizuku

Listen

Oh...
6

Shizuku

Listen

No, I haven't heard back from them...
It's been almost a week, so I think it should be soon...
7

Airi

Listen

Well, it's best not to dwell on this stuff! You know what they say! Good things come to those who wait.

Saito

Listen

Shizuku!
The results of that audition just came in!
9

Shizuku

Listen

...!
10

Haruka

Listen

Right on cue.
11

Minori

Listen

S-So, how did she do...?!

KAITO

Listen

Really...?!
It's wonderful to hear that you passed.
13

Rin

Listen

Congratulations, Shizuku!
14

Shizuku

Listen

Yes, thank you.
15

Minori

Listen

And you're gonna be working with Hagiyama from ReLight, right?! She seems like the perfect choice, since she has such a nice shine to her! Now I can't wait to see your commercial!
16

Haruka

Listen

Me neither. There's no doubt that she's good, so I'm sure you two are going to produce a great commercial.
17

Shizuku

Listen

Yes, well...
18

Airi

Listen

Wait, you don't seem all that happy for some reason. Is something wrong?
19

Shizuku

Listen

The truth is... I'm scared.
20

Haruka

Listen

You're scared...?
21

Shizuku

Listen

I'm afraid that I'm going to ruin this commercial.
22

Minori

Listen

What?!
23

Airi

Listen

Ruin it? What makes you think that?
24

Shizuku

Listen

Because Hagiyama was truly overwhelming during that audition...
25

Shizuku

Listen

I took one look at her and realized that she possesses something which I don't.

26

Shizuku

Listen

I'm honestly wondering if I have what it takes to be paired with her...
27

Airi

Listen

Slow down...!
What do you mean you don't have what it takes? That's ridiculous—
28

Shizuku

Listen

That's just the truth of it.
She stands miles ahead of me.
29

Rin

Listen

But...
30

Miku

Listen

In other words, this Hagiyama girl must really be something else.
31

Shizuku

Listen

She is...
32

Shizuku

Listen

However, if I keep feeling this way, it's definitely going to negatively affect the quality of our commercial.
33

Shizuku

Listen

They chose me, so I need to do my best to make it as good as I possibly can.
34

Minori

Listen

Shizuku...
35

Haruka

Listen

Okay...
But you shouldn't have to carry this all on your own.
36

Airi

Listen

What she said. We're here to help, so ask us if you ever need any!
37

Miku

Listen

We should be able to give you some assistance by watching you pose and such...!
38

Shizuku

Listen

All of you...
39

Shizuku

Listen

Thank you. I really appreciate it.
40

Shizuku

Listen

(We start shooting in just a few weeks.
I honestly don't know how much I'll be able to improve by then.)
41

Shizuku

Listen

(But if it means getting even a little bit closer to the brilliance Hagiyama possesses...)
42

Shizuku

Listen

(I have to try...!
For the sake of MORE MORE JUMP!)
