What?!

We got a performance request?!

S-Someone wants to see us do a show?!

Yes. I just found a message in our mailbox asking us to do just that.

Our mailbox...?

You know, the email account we made when we decided to form MORE MORE JUMP! It's an account just for our group's business.

And somebody just sent us this request.

Our own email account...

Oh!

Yeah, we did make an account!

Don't tell me you'd forgotten about it until now?

N-No, I didn't!
I'm just really surprised by how quickly this request came...!

Hehe. I understand how you feel, Minori.

We're still only just getting started as a group, so I wasn't really expecting to receive anything like this so soon.

I'm just as surprised as you are.

The joint stream we did with Hayakawa helped grow our subscriber base, but it must've had a bigger effect than we realized.

Yeah, that was definitely a huge break for us!

But at the same time, the new segments we've been doing in our videos have been pulling their weight too, right?

Everybody watching always seems to really love the ideas Haruka and Minori come up with.

Hehe. Minori has a talent for seeing things from our fans' perspectives.

Hehe... At first, my ideas were pretty much all just things I personally wanted to see... But I'm glad everybody likes what we're doing.

Look, Minori, you've been working hard every single day since we started and got results, so have a little more confidence in yourself!

So what does this request entail...?

Apparently, it came from a group of elementary school students from the suburbs, and they want to put on a graduation event a little earlier than usual.

Graduation? Now?

Yes. It says that their school is about to be closed down.

It is?

Yes. Enrollment for this school has been going down and it currently only has around thirty students. The ones remaining are going to be sent to other schools it seems.

Normally, students would graduate in March, but the school itself is also showing signs of dilapidation so...

They're having a Farewell Party for the school after they come back from their summer vacations.

That was also apparently when one student asked for us to be there, as MORE MORE JUMP!

That means... They want us to perform there and provide them with one last memory of their elementary school.

That's so sad... Their school's just going to disappear...

I'm not sure what I'd do if a school I went to just vanished one day...

I wouldn't know what to do either. Not being able to see your friends would be terrible too...

That'd be awful...
Being scattered to the winds like this...

That's it! We're doing this!

Eep!

We should feel honored that they invited us to perform at such an important event!

Their school will be gone, but we have to make it so they can smile one last time and have the courage to move forward as the world around them changes...

We have to do everything we can for them as idols!

Airi...

I agree completely.
I'd like for us to accept this request and perform as MORE MORE JUMP!

Yeah, me too!

I'd like that as well!
I'm looking forward to it already.

Great. I'll send them our response now.

Oh, also...
This school even gave us permission to livestream this event.

Wait, really?

Yes. It'll be an important log of what happened for the students, but they also seem to want us to benefit from it as well.

I see...
That's very thoughtful of them.

That means we should try to give these children as much hope as we can in return!

Yeah!

Oh, and...!
Why don't we do something else on top of a show?

Something else?

Yeah! We're performing for elementary schoolers this time, so I thought it'd be nice if we could play and have fun with them!

Right. If we think of it as a full event, we'd be able to expand upon what we've been doing online...

We'll have to discuss details with the school, but I think it's definitely worth asking them.

I agree as well! I would love to do something with the children!

But what should we do with them?
I don't have much experience with events involving children, so I'm not sure which activities would be best...

I don't have much experience with those kinds of events either...

Right. I've been a part of a few, but...

Oh, I know! I have an idea!

Alright, Minori, let's hear it!

Since everyone's saying goodbye to the school and each other, wouldn't they all want to make it a really special moment?

That's why I want to make a yearbook with them!

A yearbook? That could be fun...

Oh, hold on. It says that the school's already working on one...

I see. If we are going to make one, it'd be nice for ours to be distinct from the official version...

And cost is gonna be an issue too.
Physical books won't be cheap.

Right...
I didn't think about it like that...

That's okay, Minori. This idea might not pan out, but we should still try to come up with more.

I agree. We can't let ourselves be limited by what's possible or not possible.

Yeah, so let's keep brainstorming!

Okay!

Yes, I like it.
Let's wrap things up and...

Huh? It's already time to go?!

Oh, you're right.
We must've been talking for quite some time.

But we got some great ideas, so why don't we call it a day?

Okay.
This is probably a good place to stop. Although, we don't have much time left to work with on this...

I didn't know planning an event like this would be so hard...

I know, right...?

(But I really do like the ideas we came up with and it feels like we're just one step away from having something solid to work with.)

(All that remains is...)

(Yeah! If we do it like that show I used to be on, we might be able to include all of our ideas!)

Hey, would it be okay if I finish summing up all our ideas?

Huh?

Okay, but are you sure?
We know you're busy and...

I'll be fine! I came up with an idea for the whole thing, so it'll only take me a second!

I don't see why not.
I'm sure she'll deliver for us.

Then, if you don't mind...

You got it!
I'll have something for you all tomorrow, so stay tuned until then!

Okay! Thanks, Airi!
