So, sorry guys...!
Kohane and I are gonna be taking tomorrow off from practice!
2

Toya

Listen

Okay, your situation's understandable.
I'd probably also accept if given the same sort of offer.
3

Akito

Listen

*Sigh*
Alright, fine. In return, just make sure to get in some practice on your own.
4
Sounds good!
Also, Kohane, sorry for getting you mixed into this...
5

Kohane

Listen

No, that's okay!
I'm actually really interested in seeing what a professional photo shoot's like, and...
6

Kohane

Listen

I'm kind of looking forward to seeing you all dressed up as a bride, An.
7
Kohane...!
That's so sweet of you!

Toya

Listen

Still, a wedding...
Akito, I thought the show we did with Kamishiro, you and everyone else was fun. I still remember it very vividly.
9

Akito

Listen

Yeah, that's not something I'm forgetting any time soon...
10

MEIKO

Listen

Thank you all for your patience!
It's ready.
11
Oh, MEIKO!
12

MEIKO

Listen

Yes, hello. For lunch today, we have...
The Crase Cafe Special.
13
Whoa, this looks delicious!
14

Toya

Listen

It's so colorful too.
You've chosen vegetables that are in season.
15

MEIKO

Listen

Hehe. There's plenty to go around, so feel free to ask for seconds.
16

MEIKO

Listen

Also, I couldn't help but overhear your conversation just now. That wedding shoot sounds like fun.
17

MEIKO

Listen

Would you mind showing us some pictures once they're ready? I'm sure everyone will love to see you dressed up as a bride, An.
18
It's a little embarrassing...
But I'll be sure to send them over once they're done!
19

MEIKO

Listen

Hehe. Good luck as the bride, An!
20
Thanks! I'll do my best!
21
To become a bride that looks mature, beautiful and has this way of making people's heads turn...
22
Hmm...
23

Kohane

Listen

...?
Is something wrong, An?
24
Well, the thing is...
I'm kinda worried that I won't be able to play the role of a bride right...

25

Kohane

Listen

Huh?
26

Akito

Listen

You hardly ever say anything this negative.
27
I'm not trying to be negative per se...
28

MEIKO

Listen

But I'm a little surprised as well...
I was under the impression that you were ready to dive right in, An.
29
I mean, I'd probably be fine in any other role, but the bride's bit more special, you know...?
30

MEIKO

Listen

Why do you say that?
31
A long time ago, I saw an actual bride on Vivid Street...
32

Kohane

Listen

On Vivid Street?
Is there a wedding hall around there?
33
They did it at a live house instead of a wedding hall after the groom said he wanted to try doing that.
34
And the bride was so unbelievably pretty!
35
Like you, MEIKO!
She seemed so beautiful, mature and collected!
36

MEIKO

Listen

Hehe. I appreciate the compliment.
37
Also, I just happened to catch her bouquet after she threw it...
38
Then, she patted me on the head while saying, “Thank you for catching it.”
39
The look on that lady's face...
She seemed completely in her element, and it made her exude this aura of beauty...!
40
I'm reminded every time of that moment when I think about what a bride is... I don't really fit the bill, do I?
41
Which is why I'm worried about playing one...
42

Toya

Listen

I believe you'll do just fine, Shiraishi...
But you also make a fair point. You may feel more at home escorting others rather than being escorted.
43
See?
Just because Ms. Kawasaki's having trouble finding a replacement...
44

Kohane

Listen

I... I disagree!
45
Kohane?
46

Kohane

Listen

You're a wonderful person, An...
So I think you'll make a wonderful bride!

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

47
Hehe. Thanks!
48

Kohane

Listen

Also... I'm sure Ms. Kawasaki thinks that with you as the subject, she can capture the moment when “happiness brings everybody together”.
49

MEIKO

Listen

When “happiness brings everybody together”...?
50

Kohane

Listen

Yes, Ms. Kawasaki's trying to photograph the moment when everyone there joins together to genuinely wish for somebody's happiness.
51

MEIKO

Listen

I see...
If that's the case, An, you're the perfect person for this.
52
Huh? Why's that?
53

MEIKO

Listen

Because you're always looking out for Kohane, your team and everyone around town. Isn't that right?
54

MEIKO

Listen

In a way, you're always out there wishing for the happiness of others.
55

Kohane

Listen

Yeah, I think so too!
You clearly care so much about all these different people, An.
56

Kohane

Listen

That's why I think you'll be a really wonderful bride!
57
Y-You think so...?
I still feel a little embarrassed, but if you two honestly believe that...
58
Thanks, MEIKO, Kohane...!
I feel much better about this now!
59
I'm gonna do my best to be as real a bride as I can!
60

Kohane

Listen

Okay!
I promise to do my best as a bridesmaid too!
61

MEIKO

Listen

(As real a bride...?)
62

MEIKO

Listen

(I'm a bit concerned...
But I hope it's just me overthinking things.)

Airi

Listen

Wow, what a great day of shopping!
We got some new cosmetics and should be all set for summer now!
64

Shizuku

Listen

Yes, I agree!
The Japanese sweets you recommended were so good too, Airi.
65

Airi

Listen

Right?!
It's a shame that they're only available for a limited time... Huh?

Hey, a cat!
It's stripes are so cute...!

Hm? But it seems a bit unsettled...
It's okay. We're not here to hurt you...

Airi

Uh oh...!

Airi

A-Achoo...!
Achoo! Achoo!

Are you okay, Airi?
Here, have some tissues.

Oh no, it ran off... It seemed pretty startled...

Airi

Grr... Now I've done it...
I got too close to it without really thinking...
75

Airi

Listen

Ugh! I could actually pet them if it weren't for this condition too...!
76

Shizuku

Listen

You love cats so much, Airi, but you're sadly allergic to them...

77

Shizuku

Hm?
Someone just sent me a message.

Airi

Listen

What's up?
80

Shizuku

Listen

A person from this agency that I did some modeling work with just sent me a message...
81

Shizuku

Listen

Their photographer friend seems to be in a bit of trouble and is looking for a model who's available tomorrow.
82

Shizuku

Listen

So they asked me if I'm free and could help out.
83

Airi

Listen

Interesting.
Did they say what you'd be modeling for?
84

Shizuku

Listen

A wedding as the bride.
85

Airi

Listen

Hey, that sounds great!
86

Airi

Listen

It's every girl's dream to put on a wedding dress, right? Almost like a chance to become a princess.
87

Airi

Listen

And just thinking about you wearing one, Shizuku... I can't even begin to imagine how incredible you're gonna look...
88

Shizuku

Listen

How incredible?
89

Airi

Listen

Oh, I meant you're gonna look amazing.
90

Shizuku

Listen

I am? Hehe. Thank you.
91

Shizuku

Listen

I might have to accept this offer if you're willing to say this much, Airi... Hm?
92

Shizuku

Listen

Airi, mind if I take this opportunity to ask you for a favor?
93

Airi

Listen

Huh?

Kohane

Listen

It's so pretty...!
I'm sure the photos will turn out really nice too since it's such a nice day! I really should've brought my camera...
96
Hehe. You really love photography, huh, Kohane?
97

Kawasaki

An! Kohane!
98
Good morning, Ms. Kawasaki!
Wait, who's that next to you...?
99

Kinuya

Nice to meet you.
My name is Kinuya. I'm in charge of the costumes for this shoot.
100

Kawasaki

Kinuya's an old friend of mine and a dressmaker. She can even make tuxedos!
101

Kinuya

In addition to costumes, I'll also be doing everyone's hair and makeup. I'm really looking forward to working with all of you.
102
Yes, I'll be looking forward to it too!
103

Kawasaki

Now, we're supposed to meet with the person playing our groom... But it looks like they're not here yet.
104

Kawasaki

It's almost time too...
Please give me a minute while I try to contact them.

Darn, so close...!
Gray but no stripes.
111

Kohane

Listen

That's too bad...
I hope we find Vivi soon.
112
Yeah, everyone around town's worried sick about her too. I wanna see her safe and sound...
113

Kohane

Listen

An...
114
Alright, I'm gonna go look for her again once we're done with this shoot! For my sake as well as everyone else's!
115

Kohane

Listen

Okay, I'll help look!
116

Kohane

Listen

(It's not just Vivi. An genuinely cares about everyone around her... She's such a nice person...)
117

???

Listen

Achoo!
118
Hm?
119

???

Listen

Grr... I can't stop sneezing...!
My nose's been going crazy since yesterday...
120

???

Listen

Are you sure you're going to be okay, Airi? If you're not feeling up to this shoot, you can always let me know.
121

???

Listen

Nonsense!
I agreed to do this, so I'm not backing away now!
122

???

Listen

Hehe. Thank you, Airi.
I'd expect no less from you!
123
Hey, over there. Isn't that...?
