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

Airi
Hey, you're Haruka and Minori's friends... Hang on, Shiraishi and Azusawa, right?
An
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.
Um... I got to chat with you a little during New Year's, Momoi, but this is probably our first time talking, Hinomori.
An
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!
Kohane
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...
Oh, but Hinomori and I see each other somewhat often at school, so this isn't our first time meeting...
Shizuku
Hehe. Yes, you're right.
My name is Shizuku Hinomori.
I'm looking forward to working with you, Shiraishi, Azusawa.

An
By the way, what brings you two here...?
Shizuku
We're supposed to be in the shoot that's taking place here today.
Kohane
Huh? The shoot...?
An
You too, Hinomori, Momoi?
So are we!
So are we!
Shizuku
Oh, really?
Kawasaki
An! Kohane!
What...?
What...?
Kawasaki
Shizuku Hinomori and Airi Momoi...?! But you're idols...! What are you two doing here?!
Shizuku
Good morning!
We're supposed to doing a shoot here today.
We're supposed to doing a shoot here today.
Kawasaki
Oh, I see!
I'm Kawasaki, the photographer. It's nice to meet you!
I'm Kawasaki, the photographer. It's nice to meet you!
Kawasaki
But I didn't realize other people would be shooting here today. I'll be careful not to get in your way.
An
Speaking of which, Ms. Kawasaki!
Did you manage to get a hold of the groom?
Did you manage to get a hold of the groom?
Kawasaki
Unfortunately, no...
Would you mind waiting just a little bit longer?
Would you mind waiting just a little bit longer?
An
Hm...?
Airi
Hey, Shizuku, is someone calling you...?
Shizuku
Huh? Oh, you're right!
Okay, the accept button should be... This one!
Okay, the accept button should be... This one!
Kawasaki
Oh, they picked up!
Shizuku
Hello? This is Hinomori.
Kawasaki
Huh? A woman's voice?!
But I asked for someone to play the groom...
But I asked for someone to play the groom...
Shizuku
I'm hearing this strange echo...
Oh no! Did my phone break?!
Oh no! Did my phone break?!
Shizuku & Kawasaki
Huh...?
Airi
It's really starting to get dark and cloudy...
An
Is the shoot still gonna be okay...?
An
Still, talk about a surprise...
An
You asked a friend at a modeling agency for someone to play a groom and you got a bride instead...
Kawasaki
I'm so sorry!!
I really should've double checked with them...
I really should've double checked with them...
An
No, you shouldn't be apologizing!
I doubt any of us would've saw this coming...
I doubt any of us would've saw this coming...
Shizuku
I agree.
We don't blame you one bit.
We don't blame you one bit.
Shizuku
But what should we do about the shoot...?
Kawasaki
About that... We can't exactly proceed without a groom...
Kawasaki
No, wait. That's not entirely true...
An
Huh?
Kawasaki
Happiness can bring everybody together as long as that feeling's truly genuine. Gender has nothing to do with it!
Kinuya
I see... Oh, I know!
I have the perfect costume in my car if you don't mind coming with me!

Kawasaki
Okay!
An
Huh? Um...
Well, there they go.
Well, there they go.
Shizuku
I suppose that means we're still going forward with the shoot... I'm glad to hear that things might work out!
An
Yeah, same!
I really don't want Ms. Kawasaki's hard work to go to waste.

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

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

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

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

An & Kohane
Okay!
Kawasaki
Thanks for waiting, everyone!
We have the perfect costume for you!
We have the perfect costume for you!
Shizuku
Is this a tuxedo for women...?
It's wonderful...!
It's wonderful...!
An
Yeah, you're right! It looks so cool...!
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.
An
(She's totally right!
Instead of a wedding dress, a tuxedo would suit me much...)

Kawasaki
Alright...
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.
An
Huh?
An
Wait, Ms. Kawasaki! I'm gonna be in the dress?!
Kawasaki
Yes, that's right. Is something wrong?
An
Shizuku's an actual model and would probably look much better in the dress...
Kawasaki
But I made you this offer because I wanted to see you as the bride, An.
Kawasaki
Please, give me a chance to capture that beautiful spark of yours!
An
My spark? That might be pushing it a bit too far...
Shizuku
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.

An
You think so...?
An
(Oh, on second thought...
Shizuku's pretty tall, so it's probably better if she wore the tux...)

An
(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.)

An
(Okay, I'll just have to be the best bride I can be...!)
Kawasaki
Alright, please get changed and we'll start our shoot!
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.
An & Shizuku
Okay!
Wedding Ceremony Hall - Waiting Room
An
Whoa...!
This dress looks amazing...!
This dress looks amazing...!
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.
An
O-Okay!
An
(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...)
An
(However, I'm trying so many things I've never done before... I'm starting to get excited about this!)
Airi
Hmm...
Kohane
I-Is something the matter?
Oh, is there something wrong with my dress?
Oh, is there something wrong with my dress?
Airi
Hmm... I had this realization while we were changing...
Airi
This dress looks so good on you, Kohane! Especially the lace since they kinda look like wings! It's perfect for you!
Kohane
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.

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

Airi
Hey, thanks!
Hehe. I can't help but feel a little giddy♪
Hehe. I can't help but feel a little giddy♪
Airi
That just leaves Shizuku and An!
I can't wait to see how they look!
I can't wait to see how they look!
Airi
But Shizuku in a tux...
What do you think that's gonna be like?
What do you think that's gonna be like?
Kohane
About that... Shizuku's such a kind and gentle person, so her in a tuxedo... I'm really not sure...
Airi
Anyway, I'm sure Shizuku's gonna look fine. If anything, she should look really cool!
Kohane
Hehe. I agree!
Airi
And I'm sure An's gonna look gorgeous as the bride. I mean, you can't really ask for a better person!
Kohane
R-Right...!
After her hair and makeup are done, she might transform into really beautiful person...

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

I can't wait to see them...!
I'm really looking forward to seeing them...!
I'm really looking forward to seeing them...!
Shizuku's Voice
Thank you both for waiting!
Airi
Oh, sounds like Shizuku's ready!
Airi
Shizuku, how is it wearing a tux for the first...? Whoa!
Kohane & Airi
Whoa!!
