Listen

I'm finally done with everything Dad asked me to do, so maybe I'll go to MEIKO's place and... Huh?
2

An

Listen

What's with all those people gathering over there? I wonder what's going on...
Wedding Ceremony Hall

An

Listen

Hmm... Oh, it's a wedding...!
Maybe I can get a peek at the bride... Hm?
4

Male Extra

I'm so sorry. I can't believe that I got hurt just 30 minutes before the ceremony...
5

Akito

Listen

Yeah, you're gonna have a tough time dancing. For now, please sit down...
6

Akito

Listen

*Sigh*... Now what...?
If only we could find a replacement...
7

An

Listen

Wait, Akito?!
What are you doing here?
8

Akito

Listen

Huh? That voice... An?
I should be asking you that.
Also, I don't have time to chat...
9

Akito

Listen

Hang on, you might work. Pretty sure there was an extra costume lying around...
10

An

Listen

Huh? What are you talking about?
11

Akito

Listen

Forget it, I'll explain later. Just put this on for now! You have five minutes!
12

An

Listen

What? I still don't know what's going on! Hey, answer me...!

An

Listen

So this outfit's...?
14

Akito

Listen

For a little performance we're gonna do during the wedding, but one of our dancers got hurt.
15

Akito

Listen

Luckily, you're here. You of all people should be able to learn everything and pull it off when it counts.
16

An

Listen

What?! You seriously want me to be in your show?! Don't you think that's a little much even coming from you? Also, why are you here to begin with...?
17

Akito

Listen

Hey, I was roped into this too. You can ask him for more details...
18

An

Listen

You too, Toya? And Kamishiro?!
Seriously, how did this happen?
19

Rui

Listen

Hello, Shiraishi. I heard from our other dancer that you'll be replacing them. Thank you.
20

Rui

Listen

Oh, since you're also a hall monitor, I'll appreciate it if you'll be willing to overlook my indiscretions today.
21

An

Listen

Uh, sure. Just don't go overboard, okay...?
22

Rui

Listen

Alright, everyone, it's nearly showtime.
23

Rui

Listen

You've all done very well to learn everything in such a short span of time today. I believe we're ready.
24

Rui

Listen

All that's left is to have fun under this beautiful sun!
25

Extras

Yeah!
26

An

Listen

I still don't really have the full picture yet, but it sounds fun! Let's do this...!
27

Akito

Listen

Sometimes I'm glad you're such a good sport. Anyways, we don't have time. Let's start from the top.

Toya

(If we don't get it right...)
33

Rui

Listen

We'll be fine, Aoyagi. I'm sure of it. Just try to remember what I said if you do get lost...
34

Toya

Listen

Kamishiro...
35

Rui

Listen

I believe in one thing when it comes to all shows...
36

Rui

Listen

That the ones who have the most fun are the winners...!
37

Toya

Listen

Right...!
38

Rui

Listen

Now, it's showtime!
39

Minister

Do you take each other as lawfully wedded spouses to have and to hold, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish, till death do you part?

Rui

Listen

You're not sure about how you should feel here?
63

Toya

Listen

Yes...
I've never acted before and don't have a good sense of what to do.
64

Rui

Listen

Yes, I see...
Then let's imagine the thing you desire the most is sitting right in front of you...
65

Rui

Listen

But that very thing is about to be taken away from you by someone else.
66

Rui

Listen

And there's only one way for you to take it back is to sing for it.
67

Toya

Listen

Win it back by singing...

Bride

All of you have what I consider to be cool and wonderful talents...

But none of that matters in the end. I still choose my husband...

I want to spend the rest of my life with him.

Bride

I vow to stay true to him no matter what, forever...!

Rui

Listen

Fantastic...!
Get ready, dancers... Hm?
87

passersby

Is something about to happen?
I thought I just heard some commotion coming from the garden wing...
88

passersby

The bouquet toss maybe?
I think this is supposed to be some kind of show, so it might be pretty fun!
89

Rui

Listen

Ah, yes. I see...!

Akito

Listen

What? There's no way we can do that...
93

An

Listen

Yeah, let's try it!
We should make this as fun as possible while we're at it! Let's go, Akito!

Wait, An! Ugh... Fine...!

Everybody!
Come join in on the fun!

Us? What's going on?
Are you sure about this?
98

passersby

No idea, but it looks fun!
There's no harm in clapping, right?

Yes, this is going splendidly.
All that's left to do is put Len's idea into action...
