That tuxedo looks incredible by itself, but you wearing it makes it look just that much more stunning... It's like you're putting your model powers on full display!
Shizuku
Ms. Kinuya told me so herself.
This costume is imbued with the hope that “the wearer can feel a genuine sense of happiness.”

Shizuku
Yes. Ms. Kinuya did everything for us this time around... But the efforts of the hairstylists, makeup artists, costume designers and such are usually what make what we do a reality.
Airi
Yeah, it's not just about the ones in the spotlight. A lot of people have to work together to give that person a captivating charm. That's true whether you're a model or an idol!
Shizuku
Oh, An should be just about ready too.
They were just putting the finishing touches on her hair.

(Wow...! Shizuku looks so cool...!

An
I've never worn such a fancy dress before and was worried that I wouldn't be able to play a bride very well... So I really appreciate you saying that.

Thank goodness...!
Our much-awaited wedding would've been all for naught if our bride were to get injured.

I get why she'd be overwhelmed...
Shizuku kinda has a habit of getting up close and personal.

My heart's racing because Shizuku's so pretty and literally right next to me.)

Okay, why don't we start by taking some photos of the bride and the bridesmaids.
Kawasaki
Bridesmaids are supposed to assist the bride, but they're also usually the bride's closest friends. You don't necessarily have to pose like we're taking formal wedding photos.
Kawasaki
I'd rather have you all smile and have fun together in a way that shows others the moment when “happiness brings everybody together”!
Kohane
(A-Am I gonna be okay...?
Shizuku looks so cool, and An and Airi both look really adorable... Plus, I'm not used to having anyone other than Dad take photos of me...)

Kohane
Y-Yeah... I really like taking photos, but I'm really not used to actually being in them...
An
Haha. Yeah, I get that.
It's not that I dislike this or anything, but I'm a little nervous too.

Alright, let's begin with a few test shots! First, Airi, mind holding An's hand for me?

Hmm... Well...
You could try remembering a time when An looked visibly happy and you felt really glad for her.

B-But that's happened so much...
I don't know which memory to go with...!

Not to mention that it's your first time being a model. How about we take some photos with just you to get you used to being in front of the lens?

Shizuku
What if we did some stretches or something else that can help her relax a little...?

Oh dear. You seem more nervous when you're by yourself. I apologize for asking so much of you.
Kawasaki
Let's try taking these a different way.
Um...
Um...
Airi
Sorry, Ms. Kawasaki!
Would it be alright if the three of us tried doing this pose we like together?

Airi
But we believed that it was the best way to get you to relax a little more, so we decided to have some fun to lighten things up!
Kohane
No, that's okay! I feel so much more relaxed because of what you did, Airi! Thank you very much!
An
(I'm so glad Kohane found a way to relax. I feel a lot better now compared to earlier too...)
An
(And the way Airi lightened up the mood in a flash was so incredible... It's like proof that she's really an idol!)

Oh, I heard from the staff here that some cats have taken up residence around this hall.
