One, two, three, four...
Minori, raise your arms more!
And don't forget to smile!

R-Right!

Wah...!

Oww... Sorry!
Please, just one more time!

Fine, but take a break first.
I'm sure you're getting tired...

No, I'm okay!
I need to do more!

...

(Something only I can do, like Miku and the others said...)

(But what...? I can't figure it out...!)

(And I want to stop being such a bother to everyone! I have to keep practicing! I have to catch up! I have to make it in time for our show...!)

*Huff*... *Huff*...

Great work, everyone.
We're much more in sync now.

We have ways to go before it's ready for the stage, but we can keep working on it tomorrow.

...!

Right...! There are still some parts I need to work on so...

One last time...!

Minori, wait! Calm down!
We can do that tomorrow!

B-But...

Minori...

You won't get everything right by just cramming everything into one day.

I understand that you're anxious, but you physically won't be able to keep up.

Resting is just as important as practicing...

Haruka...

Don't worry, Minori.

You've already come quite a long way after just one day.

She's right. I know you want our show to go well, but we should go home and rest for today.

Okay. Yeah...

I guess I am getting a little too anxious. I'll just keep going through it in my head for now!

Anyway, I think I should go home soon! See you tomorrow...!

M-Minori...!

...

*Sigh*...

(I know I shouldn't get so anxious but...)

(If I don't get better in time for our show, I'll just end up disappointing everyone that's watching...)

What do I do...?

Huh? Are you...?
Minori from MORE MORE JUMP!?

Hm...?

Y-You're Minori, right?!
I can't believe it!

Wait, what?!

M-Me?! Are you sure?! I mean, yes, I am Minori Hanasato from MORE MORE JUMP!

I don't look anything like Haruka! I'm nothing like the others, and I'm sorry to disappoint you like this but...!

I am sure! I'm your fan, Minori!
Would it be okay if we shake hands...?

Huh? Oh, of course!

(M-My fan...?!)

You're the first...!

But are you really sure about that...?

I can't dance or sing nearly as well as the others and...

You cheer me up every time I see you!

You're always full of energy and you work so hard! And you look so cool with three famous idols next to you...!

Y-You really think so...?

I do! I also saw your last stream with Nanamin! You really did your best, and I cheered for you the whole time!

R-Really?! Thank you...!
But it went so bad and...

No, don't say that! I think it's amazing how you can take on really tough challenges like that. I wish I could be just like you...!

Like me?

The truth is, I'm on a team for a club at school, but my teammates are all really good. I always feel like I'm dragging them down...

Huh?

We've lost matches because of me and practices sometimes don't go as smoothly as we need them to, so I've been thinking about quitting...

Oh, no...

But then I found MORE MORE JUMP!
Your streams always seem to cheer me up!

I feel like I can try again tomorrow and work on not making any mistakes.

...!

But I can't do what you do, Minori. Even when I come close to succeeding or figuring out something, I can't follow through...

Everyone else tells me to not worry about it, but I know I won't get any better by being pitied like that...

Oh...

And we can't lose our next match either.

I haven't been doing well during practice, so I feel like I'm going to disappoint everyone again...

I like my club, but maybe I should quit for everyone else's sake...

...!

No, you can't quit!

Huh...?

If you really like something, you can't just give it up! If you keep trying, I'm sure things will go well...!

The same thing just happened to me too... There's plenty that I still can't do and feel really bad about all the mistakes I've been making!

But even then, after all that, everyone tells me that there is no MORE MORE JUMP! without me.

So I'm sure... I'm positive that your teammates also believe in you too!

Minori, thank you...
But I...

(Oh, right. That won't necessarily cheer them up. Even I kept feeling awful even after I was told something similar...)

(But I want her to smile... I finally met someone that believes in me, so I have to give them hope...)

Um... I-If it's alright with you, can I ask you to see our next stream?

Huh...?

I know our last one didn't go well as it could have...

But I promise that the next one will succeed!

I promise to show that even someone like me has what it takes. I want you to believe in yourself too...!

Minori...

Thank you...
I'll definitely watch!
Break a leg!

Thank you too...!

(I thought I wasn't doing anything or reaching anyone as an idol until now...)

(But I might be able to actually give someone hope...)

(This could be what Miku was talking about...)

(I need to keep trying...!
More! More! More!)

Okay...!
