Humhumhumm♪
Now I just have to underline the important parts with my marker, and...

I'm done! Hehe. It's all set now♪

Wow, Saki, your notebook looks so cute, colorful and wonderhoy♪

I know, right?!
I got these new markers the other day and I really wanted to test them out♪

It's good that each theme is color coordinated, but... What's with all the doodles?

Hey, they're not doodles!
They're illustrations that are going to help me remember everything!

Sure, sure.
Anyway, isn't it almost time for our long homerooms?

Oh, you're right!
We're gonna talk about the work research shadowing program today, right?

Yeah! We get to visit a company, talk to its employees and get hands-on work experience!
I'm so excited☆

I'll see you guys later!

See you!

Alright, now that you're all in your seats, let's begin our long homeroom.

As we discussed earlier this morning, today you'll be deciding which companies you'll all be visiting for the work shadowing program.

I'll pass out lists detailing the companies that have agreed to work with us. Please mark which you'd like to visit and hand them forward.

(I wonder which companies signed up...)

Oh...!

(Isn't this the apparel brand with a shop inside the department store by the station? Does that mean we'll get to ask the employees about fashion stuff?)

(And this is that snack company!
I'd love to see their factory! I bet it'd be so much fun...!)

(Hmm... So many good choices...
I can't decide...)

Sorry, can we ask our friends to see what they think first?

Of course.
But be careful not to be too much of a bother to the other classes.

(We can ask our friends...?!
Then...)

Shiho!

Shiho, Shiho!

Have you made your choice yet?

Not yet...
Also, keep it down, you two.
What happened to not bothering the other classes?

Oh, right!

We gotta be as quiet as mice!

Do you know which company you wanna visit, Emu?

Yup! I wanna visit this event planning company!

Event planning company?

It's called “HeartUp Creation”!
They plan and run stage performances, town-revitalization stamp rallies and all sorts of other events!

Oh, there's a company like that on this list?

Planning events sounds really fun...!

I know, right☆ Also...

I think I'll be able to learn a lot about how to come up with ideas that guests will find fun and exciting, and how to make them a reality!

When you put it that way, this seems like the perfect choice for you, Otori.

(An event planning company...!
I wonder what other events they plan.)

(Oh, the printout gives more details!
Let's see...)

Wait, this cosmetics expo!
I've been to it before!

Oh, you have?

Yeah! I even got to have a professional makeup artist use some brand-new products on me!

(So this is the company that put that whole thing together.)

(I remember having so much fun. I bought some really cute makeup and got a bunch more for free...)

(But I've never thought about how events like that actually get set up...)

(I was totally blown away by how amazing professional makeup artists are, and the event was so much fun.)

(Giving people the opportunity to have fun like that, and make unforgettable memories, must be really great...)

I've made my choice!
I'm also gonna visit HeartUp Creation!

Wait, really?!

Really! I wanna learn more about how you actually plan and run big events!

Oh, Shiho, if you haven't picked anything else, you should join us!

Wait, me too?

Yeah! I know it'll be super fun if all three of us go together♪

I mean, take a look here!
They even run stage events and shows at malls and stuff!

We might perform in places like this in the future, so we can ask them all about those kinds of events!

Yeah, true...

Plus, I hadn't made up my mind yet. So I'll go with that one, too.

Woohoo♪

But we can't just go over and fool around. We need to take this visit seriously. Remember, we have to turn in a report at the end.

Whoa, Shiho's got her serious face on like always!

Hehe. I can't wait to learn more about planning events with you guys☆

Me neither! I wish it was the day of our visit already♪
