<I always loved seeing you on your seven o'clock show, The Wide World of Laughs!>
<My favorite part was when you dressed up as The Masked Variety Idol, Happy Everyday.>
<The way you fought against really strong people and fell into all those mud traps was the best! I can't believe I get to meet the real Happy Everyday!>

We broke a pretty good sweat during practice, huh? Event planning is fun and all, but nothing really beats a good workout!

Haruka and I had another look at the messages the students from that school sent us.
Shizuku
And we came across one student who seemed very interested in when you were on all those variety shows...
Airi
Sure, I had a tough time and went through a lot, but I thought it gave me a good experience!

(But the ratings spiked for some reason when I put on this stupid mask during the scavenger hunt.)

(After that, they decided to have me wear that mask every week and become The Masked Variety Idol, Happy Everyday.)

You had us going there for a second! I can't believe you got us to do your own pose...
Airi
This is our event. None of the other girls and groups are here. We're on our own and I get that you're nervous, but...
Airi
If you go on stage feeling that way, you'll end up disappointing all the people that came to see us, right?
QT Members A & B

Airi
I'm gonna put everything into my singing, dancing and MCing because I want everyone here to have the time of their lives!
Airi
And you two are no different, right? If you are, shake those nerves and get back in the driver's seat...!
QT Member A
Yeah, Airi, you're right...
QT Member B
I'm gonna try my best too!
Thank you so much, Airi!
