Airi

Listen

So the big agencies and even the small ones are out...?
2

Airi

Listen

I didn't think about how an agency would come under fire just because they hired us...
3

Airi

Listen

This means no one is gonna want to work with us!
4

Haruka

Listen

I know we were prepared for this, but that doesn't make it any easier to accept.
5

Shizuku

Listen

And this isn't the kind of problem we can solve with positive thinking alone.
6

Minori

Listen

Yeah...
7

Airi

Listen

Hey, come on, you guys.
Don't get so down!
8

Airi

Listen

We're supposed to give our fans hope, right? We can't give up now!
9

Haruka

Listen

Yes, you're right... We need to figure out our next step.
10

Shizuku

Listen

Indeed...
11

Shizuku

Listen

I was hoping it wasn't true, but we might have to consider what could happen if our old agencies really did put pressure on whoever we end up working for...
12

Shizuku

Listen

There's a possibility we could end up destroying the hopes of other idols in the process...

14

Minori

Listen

We can't do that...! I would never forgive myself if I was the reason another idol lost the ability to smile!
15

Airi

Listen

Same...
16

Haruka

Listen

...
17

Minori

Listen

Maybe we just aren't meant to be on stage after all...
18

Airi

Listen

That's not true...!
There has to be something we can do!
19

Airi

Listen

We have to keep trying! I'm not ready to give up looking for a path to becoming idols!
20

Haruka

Listen

Airi...
21

Haruka

Listen

Yeah, I know...
Sorry. I'm just upset.
22

Minori

Listen

I-I'm sorry too...!
I still have to try even more!

23

Shizuku

Listen

I think we're all a little exhausted right now. Perhaps it would be best to call it a day and get some rest.
24

Airi

Listen

Yeah, I think you're right. Maybe we'll think of something once we've had the chance to calm down.
25

Minori

Listen

I'll try to think of something too!
26

Airi

Listen

For now, just get some rest, Minori!
27

Airi

Listen

If you really can't sit still, use your energy to practice dancing or singing!
28

Minori

Listen

O-Okay...
29

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. See you all tomorrow.
30

Haruka

Listen

Be careful on your way home, everyone.
31

Airi

Listen

Will do! See ya!

No way I'm giving up now...

Airi

Listen

I need to do everything in my power to make this work.

Hello? Yes, this is...

35

Agency CEO

Hello, Ms. Momoi. It's been a while...
The last time we spoke was when you quit.
36

Airi

Listen

Thank you for taking the time to speak with me, sir. I was hoping to ask you something.
37

Agency CEO

Ah, I believe I've heard.
You're trying to form a new group, correct?
38

Airi

Listen

Yes...
39

Airi

Listen

I know I already gave up on being an idol once, but a lot has happened with the girls in my group and we've finally come to a decision.
40

Airi

Listen

The four of us want to be idols together.
We want to get back up on that stage...
41

Agency CEO

...
42

Airi

Listen

So, please!
43

Airi

Listen

I know I'm in no position to ask you this after transferring to another agency and then quitting...
44

Airi

Listen

But you won't ever hear another complaint from me. Variety programs, talent work... I'll do anything your agency needs me to do.
45

Airi

Listen

Please! All I ask is that you let us the four of us join together as MORE MORE JUMP!
46

Airi

Listen

Will you consider us?!
47

Agency CEO

I see. Your friends must be very precious to you if you're willing to go that far.
48

Airi

Listen

Yes, they are...!
49

Agency CEO

However, I have no way to say for sure that hiring Ms. Kiritani and Ms. Hinomori won't have a negative effect on the other girls' job offers.
50

Agency CEO

If it were just you, I would actually consider it...
51

Airi

Listen

...
52

Airi

Listen

I understand. I apologize for asking something as unreasonable as this.
53

Agency CEO

I see. That's unfortunate...
54

Agency CEO

I was hoping that you'd be a little more pragmatic.
55

Airi

Listen

...
56

Airi

Listen

Thank you for your time...

Airi

Listen

(I don't believe it...
That was my last connection.)
58

Airi

Listen

Great...!
Now I'm letting it get to me too!
59

Airi

Listen

But the four of us decided to spread hope together! We have to keep trying!
60

Airi

Listen

We have to keep going...!

Airi

Listen

But...
