Shiho

Listen

Okay.
Aside from some tiny mistakes, I thought that was a good run.

Saki

Listen

Woohoo!
We got Shiho's seal of approval!
3

Shiho

Listen

Don't get ahead of yourself...
But this seems like a good place to stop. Why don't we take a break here before we go back and start making fixes?
4

Rin

Listen

Oh, in that case, can you tell us about the work research shadowing program you told us about the other day?!
5

Rin

Listen

How was it?! Did you have fun?!
6

Ichika

Listen

Yeah, and we learned a lot.
7

Luka

Listen

Oh, that's right. Ichika, Honami, you two went to visit a company that produces music videos and commercials, yes?
8

Honami

Listen

Yes, since we'll likely be shooting more videos in the future. We thought it'd be good for us to learn more about the production process.
9

Honami

Listen

On the day of our shadowing, we got to edit an actual music video. I was astonished by how glamorous it looked in the end.
10

Ichika

Listen

I know we've already shot a couple ourselves, but it was fun to learn about the tricks professionals use to give videos an impactful punch.
11

MEIKO

Listen

I see. It sounds like you two had a wonderful experience.
12

Len

Listen

How about you two, Saki, Shiho? Which company did you visit?
13

Saki

Listen

We visited a company that plans and operates all sorts of events!
14

Saki

Listen

Not only did we get to see how they run things, we even got to plan our own event!
15

Rin

Listen

Wait, that sounds super fun!
What kind of event did you guys get to plan?
16

Shiho

Listen

We can't talk much about it since it was based on a real business deal, but it was a product promotion event for a famous stationery company.
17

Shiho

Listen

Our event involved having the guests make message cards for White Day.
18

Miku

Listen

Oh, message cards?
19

Saki

Listen

Hehe. We thought it'd be the perfect way for people to thank those they care about most during White Day!
20

Shiho

Listen

Not only does it help promote their products, it also follows their mission statement of helping people send their thoughts to others.
21

Saki

Listen

It gets even better. The company just happened to be planning a really similar event...
22

Saki

Listen

And we get to help them run things as part-timers!
23

Ichika

Listen

Wow, really?
You're getting actual work experience? That's pretty incredible.
24

Honami

Listen

I know you'll do a great job.
25

Saki

Listen

Thanks! We'll do our very best!
26

Rin

Listen

Telling others how you feel through message cards, huh...?
27

Rin

Listen

That's such a great idea!
What if we also tried doing that, you guys?!
28

KAITO

Listen

We? As in us?
29

Rin

Listen

Well, obviously!
I feel like writing some now, because there's just so much I wanna tell all of you♪
30

MEIKO

Listen

Haha. You're so pure, Rin!
31

Rin

Listen

Hey, don't treat me like a little kid!
32

Rin

Listen

I'm not the only one who's gonna make cards. You and everyone else are too, MEIKO!
33

MEIKO

Listen

I know.
I promise to write you a nice message, Rin.
34

Miku

Listen

You're right, it might be fun to make them together.
Some things are hard to say outside of these sorts of opportunities.
35

Len

Listen

Like what?
36

Miku

Listen

Hmm... Like how we might start taking each other for granted since we're together all the time.
37

Miku

Listen

For example, MEIKO always does a good job of keeping us focused during practices, and Luka's subtly but constantly looking out for us...
38

Luka

Listen

Oh, Miku, does that mean you'd like me to pat your head as well?
39

Miku

Listen

That's not what I meant.
40

Len

Listen

I see. This does seem like a good opportunity to show just how much we appreciate each other.
41

KAITO

Listen

And writing a message would be easier than telling someone else directly...
42

Rin

Listen

Hehe. Then, let's give it a try!
43

Saki

Listen

(Thanking others for the things they do...
The things you've taken for granted. Wouldn't that kind of event just be amazing?)
44

Saki

Listen

(I know it's a product promotion event, but I wanna do everything I can to help the guests show their appreciation for those they care about the most...!)
45

Rin

Listen

Oh, I know!
Can I tag along when you two go help out with that event, Sakki?! I wanna see what it's like!
46

Saki

Listen

Sure! We can check it out together!
47

Shiho

Listen

Just make sure you don't get seen by the guests or staff, okay?
48

Rin

Listen

No problem!

Emu

Listen

Snippy, snippy, paste, paste...
Sparkly and glittery☆
50

Luka

Listen

Oh, Emu, you seem to be in a good mood today.
51

Tsukasa

Listen

Yes, you still appear to have plenty of energy despite us just finishing practice.
52

Emu

Listen

Hehe. I'm really excited because we get to help out with that event soon!
53

Rui

Listen

Ah, this would be the White Day event you mentioned a while back.
54

Emu

Listen

Yup! It's gonna be all about showing appreciation for those you care about the most by writing message cards to them!
55

Emu

Listen

We're going to have the guests choose the card they like the most, and decorate them using masking tape and stickers...
56

Emu

Listen

We're even gonna have lots of other decorations available. That means they'll get to create one-of-a-kind cards♪
57

MEIKO

Listen

That sounds fun!
I'd love to see how they turn out.
58

Emu

Listen

Hmm... The one I made for practice should be in my pocket... Oh, here it is!

59

Rui

Listen

Ah, what a fun-looking card.
60

Emu

Listen

Hehe☆ I used a ton of masking tape to make this one!

61

Tsukasa

Listen

What?!
A bouquet pops up when you open it?!
62

KAITO

Listen

You can make pop-up cards?
63

Emu

Listen

Yup! You can even decorate the flowers using stickers and stamps!
64

Nene

Listen

Yeah, making these could be kinda fun...
65

MEIKO

Listen

What a fun and exciting way to show your appreciation for others!
66

Luka

Listen

Hehe. It really is♪
I'd probably sleep like a baby if I set this next to my pillow...
67

Emu

Listen

Oh, a fluffy card that feels like a pillow could also be really good!
