Kanade

Listen

Umm... Pardon the intrusion.
2

Ichika

Listen

Pardon us.
3

Saki

Listen

Enter!
Welcome, Kanade, Ichi♪
4

Saki

Listen

Thank you again for agreeing to come all this way, Kanade.
5

Saki

Listen

I promise to really capture your radiance today!
6

Kanade

Listen

*Nod*
Thank you for having me.
7

Kanade

Listen

(I'm a little nervous...
I hardly ever go over to other people's houses.)
8

Kanade

Listen

(Still...)
9

Saki

Listen

Kanade?
10

Kanade

Listen

Oh, I'm sorry...
I was just marveling at how well-organized your room is...
11

Saki

Listen

Huh? You really mean that?
12

Kanade

Listen

Yes, my room is so cluttered...
Things literally come crashing down on top of me sometimes.
13

Saki

Listen

What?! I hope you've never gotten hurt!
14

Kanade

Listen

No, since it's never anything heavy...
Mostly sheet music and cardboard boxes...
15

Kanade

Listen

Once I find the inspiration for a song, I'll start working on that right away and make things like cleaning my room take a back seat.
16

Ichika

Listen

I understand what you mean.
It's like nothing else matters besides the song you're writing.
17

Saki

Listen

Haha. I have this habit of throwing everything into my closet when I don't really have time. Unfortunately for me, that's resulted in a few avalanches.
18

Saki

Listen

*Gasp*
Please, sit down! You two don't have to keep standing!
19

Saki

Listen

I've also prepared snacks and drinks, so have as much as you like!
20

Kanade

Listen

Oh wow...
It's like we're having a little party...
21

Ichika

Listen

Hm? This pile of magazines...
22

Saki

Listen

Heh heh heh! They're the fashion magazines I've gathered!
23

Saki

Listen

Remember the pictures I took of you the other day after we left the cafe, Kanade?
24

Kanade

Listen

Oh, yes...
You said you were going to use them to prepare for today...?
25

Saki

Listen

That's right!
I found a cool trick in this one video I saw...

26

Saki

Listen

You print out pictures of your friend and place them where a model's face is supposed to go, and...
27

Ichika

Listen

Oh wow.
It's like she's all dressed up now.
28

Saki

Listen

This helps you get a clear picture of what your friend would look like wearing a particular outfit!
29

Kanade

Listen

I see...
30

Ichika

Listen

That is pretty cool. I might give this a try with my own picture sometime...
31

Saki

Listen

You totally should!
This is so much easier than trying on clothes at an actual shop, which means more fun combinations to test!
32

Saki

Listen

I tried mixing and matching different pieces of outfits using this trick...

33

Kanade

Listen

Oh, there's a sticky note on this page...
34

Saki

Listen

Hehe. This is my first candidate!
35

Saki

Listen

I thought the idea of having a monotone outfit accented by flashy accessories was kinda cool.
36

Ichika

Listen

Yeah, this is pretty cool...
It's like something a rock star would wear.
37

Kanade

Listen

Do you really think I'll be able to pull this off...?
38

Saki

Listen

I know you will!
Oh, but this one's a bit more girly!

Sound Effect: Play

39

Ichika

Listen

Yeah, it's cute. Like one of those poofy dresses you see on dolls.
40

Kanade

Listen

Yes, I think Mizuki would really like this one.
41

Saki

Listen

Hehe. I thought the same thing♪
You can make it even cuter by adding a brooch to this hat.
42

Saki

Listen

Oh, if you're feeling brave, I thought we could also try a sporty look...
43

Saki

Listen

Anyway, I'm hoping that we can take pictures of you wearing a few of these outfits!

44

Kanade

Listen

Okay, that seems fine.
45

Ichika

Listen

I don't know much about fashion, but I do think that you'll look good in all of these, Kanade...
46

Saki

Listen

Me too! I've even come up with hairstyles and makeup ideas for each one♪
47

Saki

Listen

Oh, I know.
Can I try doing your hair right now, Kanade?
48

Kanade

Listen

I don't mind, but I'm still in my sweats. Is that okay...?
49

Saki

Listen

Yes! I want to take this opportunity to get a feel for your hair!

50

Saki

Listen

Let's see... I have my brush, hairpins and...
Oh, am I gonna need oil for this?
51

Ichika

Listen

Hehe. Saki's so excited...
52

Kanade

Listen

*Nod*
53

Kanade

Listen

(I know that she wants to do well on her project...)
54

Kanade

Listen

(But she must love fashion very much.)
55

Saki

Listen

Thank you for waiting!
56

Saki

Listen

I'll start by combing your bangs.
57

Kanade

Listen

Okay, I'm ready whenever...
58

Saki

Listen

Your hair's so silky and smooth, Kanade.
59

Saki

Listen

But it's also super long. Isn't maintaining it really hard?
60

Kanade

Listen

I don't actually do much to maintain it...
It's also long because that's just easier for me.
61

Saki

Listen

Wait, your hair's naturally this silky smooth...?!
62

Saki

Listen

That's incredible...
My hair's been sorta wavy since I was little, so I have this fascination with perfectly straight hair.
63

Ichika

Listen

But I like your hair, Saki.
It's so fluffy and soft.
64

Kanade

Listen

I agree. It matches your personality really well.
65

Saki

Listen

Hehe. Thank you♪
66

Saki

Listen

But a part of me has always wanted to do something about my wavy hair. That's why I began learning what I could about styling from magazines and stuff.
67

Saki

Listen

Because when you get your hair and outfit just right, it's like a sign that you're going to have a great day!
68

Kanade

Listen

(A sign that you're going to have a great day...)
69

Kanade

Listen

(I've never seen things from that sort of perspective before.)
70

Saki

Listen

I'm thinking about going with a half-up, half-down hairstyle that flows naturally.
71

Saki

Listen

If you had your choice of ringlets or buns, which would you prefer?
72

Kanade

Listen

Uhh... I'll leave that up to you.
