Yeah, I knew it!
It's Hinomori and Momoi from MORE MORE JUMP!
2

Airi

Listen

Hey, you're Haruka and Minori's friends... Hang on, Shiraishi and Azusawa, right?
3
Yes, that's right!
Um... I got to chat with you a little during New Year's, Momoi, but this is probably our first time talking, Hinomori.
4
My name's An Shiraishi. It's nice to finally meet you. I've been friends with Haruka since elementary school and she tells me all about you guys!
5

Kohane

Listen

I-I'm Kohane Azusawa...!
Oh, but Hinomori and I see each other somewhat often at school, so this isn't our first time meeting...
6

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. Yes, you're right.
My name is Shizuku Hinomori.
I'm looking forward to working with you, Shiraishi, Azusawa.
7
By the way, what brings you two here...?
8

Shizuku

Listen

We're supposed to be in the shoot that's taking place here today.
9

Kohane

Listen

Huh? The shoot...?
10
You too, Hinomori, Momoi?
So are we!
11

Shizuku

Listen

Oh, really?
12

Kawasaki

An! Kohane!
What...?
13

Kawasaki

Shizuku Hinomori and Airi Momoi...?! But you're idols...! What are you two doing here?!
14

Shizuku

Listen

Good morning!
We're supposed to doing a shoot here today.
15

Kawasaki

Oh, I see!
I'm Kawasaki, the photographer. It's nice to meet you!
16

Kawasaki

But I didn't realize other people would be shooting here today. I'll be careful not to get in your way.
17
Speaking of which, Ms. Kawasaki!
Did you manage to get a hold of the groom?
18

Kawasaki

Unfortunately, no...
Would you mind waiting just a little bit longer?

19
Hm...?
20

Airi

Listen

Hey, Shizuku, is someone calling you...?
21

Shizuku

Listen

Huh? Oh, you're right!
Okay, the accept button should be... This one!

Sound Effect: Play

22

Kawasaki

Oh, they picked up!
23

Shizuku

Listen

Hello? This is Hinomori.
24

Kawasaki

Huh? A woman's voice?!
But I asked for someone to play the groom...
25

Shizuku

Listen

I'm hearing this strange echo...
Oh no! Did my phone break?!
26

Shizuku & Kawasaki

Listen

Huh...?
27

Airi

Listen

It's really starting to get dark and cloudy...
28
Is the shoot still gonna be okay...?
29
Still, talk about a surprise...

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

30
You asked a friend at a modeling agency for someone to play a groom and you got a bride instead...
31

Kawasaki

I'm so sorry!!
I really should've double checked with them...
32
No, you shouldn't be apologizing!
I doubt any of us would've saw this coming...
33

Shizuku

Listen

I agree.
We don't blame you one bit.
34

Shizuku

Listen

But what should we do about the shoot...?
35

Kawasaki

About that... We can't exactly proceed without a groom...
36

Kawasaki

No, wait. That's not entirely true...
37
Huh?
38

Kawasaki

Happiness can bring everybody together as long as that feeling's truly genuine. Gender has nothing to do with it!
39

Kinuya

I see... Oh, I know!
I have the perfect costume in my car if you don't mind coming with me!
40

Kawasaki

Okay!

Sound Effect: Play

41
Huh? Um...
Well, there they go.
42

Shizuku

Listen

I suppose that means we're still going forward with the shoot... I'm glad to hear that things might work out!
43
Yeah, same!
I really don't want Ms. Kawasaki's hard work to go to waste.
44

Kohane

Listen

Oh, in that case...
Again, Hinomori, Momoi, we're looking forward to working with you today.
45

Airi

Listen

Yeah, same here!
And you can call us Airi and Shizuku!
46

Kohane

Listen

Huh?
O-Okay... Airi... Shizuku...
47
Thanks!
If you like, you can call us by our first names too!
48

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. Alright, An, Kohane.
Let's all do our very best today, okay?
49

An & Kohane

Listen

Okay!

50

Kawasaki

Thanks for waiting, everyone!
We have the perfect costume for you!
51

Shizuku

Listen

Is this a tuxedo for women...?
It's wonderful...!
52
Yeah, you're right! It looks so cool...!
53

Kinuya

Having both of you wear dresses would've been nice, but I thought this would help bring out the best in both of you.
54
(She's totally right!
Instead of a wedding dress, a tuxedo would suit me much...)
55

Kawasaki

Alright...
56

Kawasaki

An, you'll be wearing the wedding dress, and Shizuku, you'll be wearing the tuxedo. Kohane, Airi, you'll be wearing the bridesmaids' dresses.
57
Huh?
58
Wait, Ms. Kawasaki! I'm gonna be in the dress?!
59

Kawasaki

Yes, that's right. Is something wrong?
60
Shizuku's an actual model and would probably look much better in the dress...
61

Kawasaki

But I made you this offer because I wanted to see you as the bride, An.

62

Kawasaki

Please, give me a chance to capture that beautiful spark of yours!
63
My spark? That might be pushing it a bit too far...
64

Shizuku

Listen

Don't worry, An.
I have a feeling that only you will be able to play the bride that Ms. Kawasaki here is hoping to see.
65
You think so...?
66
(Oh, on second thought...
Shizuku's pretty tall, so it's probably better if she wore the tux...)
67
(Yeah, alright...
I still don't really understand why Ms. Kawasaki wants me to do this so much, but she seems genuinely enthusiastic about this.)
68
(Okay, I'll just have to be the best bride I can be...!)
69

Kawasaki

Alright, please get changed and we'll start our shoot!
70

Kawasaki

An, Shizuku, Kinuya's going to help you get dressed and made up in separate rooms, so please wait for her there. Come back to join us once you're ready.
71

An & Shizuku

Listen

Okay!

72
Whoa...!
This dress looks amazing...!
73

Kinuya

Let me know once you've put on the stockings and gotten the bustier in more or less the right position. I'll be setting up the dress and pannier.
74
O-Okay!
75
(I didn't realize a pannier had this much volume to it. Mizuki's always saying how skirt's are nice since they're nice and light, but just wearing this is gonna be tough...)
76
(However, I'm trying so many things I've never done before... I'm starting to get excited about this!)
77

Airi

Listen

Hmm...
78

Kohane

Listen

I-Is something the matter?
Oh, is there something wrong with my dress?
79

Airi

Listen

Hmm... I had this realization while we were changing...
80

Airi

Listen

This dress looks so good on you, Kohane! Especially the lace since they kinda look like wings! It's perfect for you!
81

Kohane

Listen

Huh? Y-You think so?
I was a little worried since I'd never worn anything like this before, so I'm really glad you said that.
82

Kohane

Listen

You look really amazing too!
This crisp color goes so well with your bright personality, Airi!
83

Airi

Listen

Hey, thanks!
Hehe. I can't help but feel a little giddy♪
84

Airi

Listen

That just leaves Shizuku and An!
I can't wait to see how they look!
85

Airi

Listen

But Shizuku in a tux...
What do you think that's gonna be like?
86

Kohane

Listen

About that... Shizuku's such a kind and gentle person, so her in a tuxedo... I'm really not sure...
87

Airi

Listen

Anyway, I'm sure Shizuku's gonna look fine. If anything, she should look really cool!
88

Kohane

Listen

Hehe. I agree!
89

Airi

Listen

And I'm sure An's gonna look gorgeous as the bride. I mean, you can't really ask for a better person!
90

Kohane

Listen

R-Right...!
After her hair and makeup are done, she might transform into really beautiful person...
91

Airi

Listen

Yeah...
An and Shizuku might both change a lot...
92

Kohane & Airi

Listen

...
93

Kohane & Airi

Listen

I can't wait to see them...!
I'm really looking forward to seeing them...!
94

Shizuku's Voice

Listen

Thank you both for waiting!
95

Airi

Listen

Oh, sounds like Shizuku's ready!
96

Airi

Listen

Shizuku, how is it wearing a tux for the first...? Whoa!
97

Kohane & Airi

Listen

Whoa!!
