I... I don't believe it...!
She's like a prince...!

Airi

Listen

Sh-She's...!
4

Airi

Listen

She's become a lethal weapon...!!
Her amazing looks are too overwhelming...!!
5

Shizuku

Listen

Huh?
6

Airi

Listen

Don't you get it?! We're saying that it suits you way too well!!
7

Shizuku

Listen

It does? Thank you, Airi!
Those dresses suit you both very well too.

Kohane

Listen

Th-Thank you...!
9

Kohane

Listen

But I still think I pale in comparison to you, Shizuku!
10

Kohane

Listen

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!
11

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. I really appreciate it, Kohane.
12

Shizuku

Listen

But I alone wouldn't have been able to make this tuxedo seem so wonderful.
13

Kohane

Listen

Huh? What do you mean...?
14

Shizuku

Listen

Ms. Kinuya told me so herself.
This costume is imbued with the hope that “the wearer can feel a genuine sense of happiness.”

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

15

Shizuku

Listen

That thought is likely what's giving me the ability to shine brighter than usual.
16

Kohane

Listen

That thought...?
17

Shizuku

Listen

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.
18

Airi

Listen

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!
19

Kohane

Listen

I see... That makes so much sense!
20

Shizuku

Listen

Oh, An should be just about ready too.
They were just putting the finishing touches on her hair.
21

Kohane

Listen

Oh, I can't wait to see her...!
22
(Wow...! Shizuku looks so cool...!
I knew it. Real models just have something the rest of us don't...)
23
(Hmm...
Am I really gonna look okay as her partner?)
24

Kinuya

An, what are you stopping at the entrance for? C'mon, this way!
25
U-Um, right...!
26

An's Voice

Listen

O-Okay...
E-Everyone, I'm ready...
27

Kohane

Listen

Oh, An!
How's the dress...?

28

Kohane

Listen

...!
29

Shizuku

Listen

Oh my. Isn't she lovely...?
30

Airi

Listen

Yeah!
That dress and tiara look so good on you!
31
They do?
32
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.

Y-You're...
34
Hm?
What's wrong, Kohane?
35

Kohane

Listen

You're so beautiful, An!
36

Kohane

Listen

Cute, beautiful and...!
Gorgeous beyond belief!
37
Hehe. Okay, Kohane, I get it! I look pretty!
38
But thanks!
You look really pretty too!
39

Kawasaki

Thank you all for your patience!
I'm done setting up everything for the shoot and... Oh!
40

Kawasaki

You all look spectacular!
Yes, absolutely perfect!
41

Kawasaki

So, let's start the shoot.
Please come join me in the courtyard.
42
Okay!
Whoa...!
43
(Yikes! I stepped on the hem!)
44

Kohane

Listen

A-An...!
45
(No, at this rate, I'm gonna fall...!)

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

46
Huh...?
47

Shizuku

Listen

Are you okay, An?
48
Shizuku?!
Y-Your face... It's so close...!
49

Shizuku

Listen

Oh, I'm sorry!
I thought you were about to fall, so I jumped in to help...
50
No, I should be the one apologizing!
I accidentally stepped on the hem...!
51

Shizuku

Listen

It's okay, really.
More importantly, An, are you hurt at all?
52
I-I'm okay...!
53

Shizuku

Listen

Thank goodness...!
Our much-awaited wedding would've been all for naught if our bride were to get injured.
54

Shizuku

Listen

So I'm really glad you're okay, An...
55
(Wh-Whoa...!)
56
Th-Thank you very much...!
57

Kohane

Listen

Wow...!
The prince saved the princess! It's straight out of a fairytale...!
58

Airi

Listen

I get why she'd be overwhelmed...
Shizuku kinda has a habit of getting up close and personal.
59

Shizuku

Listen

Alright, An, shall we?
Why don't we lock arms on our way over?
60
O-Okay!
Thank you!
61

Kohane

Listen

(Huh?)
62

Kohane

Listen

(It might be because she's in a dress, but An seems to be acting a little different than usual...)
63

Kohane

Listen

(Oh, that reminds me of what she said...)

Sound Effect: Play

64
Like you, MEIKO!
She seemed so beautiful, mature and collected!
65

Kohane

Listen

(Is that what's going on...?
Hehe. You're so adorable, An...)
66
(Geez, talk about a surprise!
My heart's racing because Shizuku's so pretty and literally right next to me.)
67
(She's so amazing...
So mature and can pull off something like a tux.)
68
(Alright, that means I've gotta do my best too...!)

Kawasaki

Okay, why don't we start by taking some photos of the bride and the bridesmaids.
70

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.
71

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”!
72
Okay!
73

Kohane

Listen

(Wow, the shoot's really about to start...!)
74

Kohane

Listen

(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...)
75

Kohane

Listen

*Quiver*
76
Kohane, are you pretty nervous about this...?
77

Kohane

Listen

Huh?!
Um... Well...
78

Kohane

Listen

Y-Yeah... I really like taking photos, but I'm really not used to actually being in them...
79
Haha. Yeah, I get that.
It's not that I dislike this or anything, but I'm a little nervous too.
80

Shizuku

Listen

You'll be fine, Kohane!
Just smile!
81

Kohane

Listen

R-Right!
Okay...! Smile... Smile...!
82
A-Are we gonna be okay...?
83

Kawasaki

Alright, let's begin with a few test shots! First, Airi, mind holding An's hand for me?
84

Airi

Listen

Okay!
An, ready?
85
Ready whenever!

Kohane

Listen

A-After I take her hand... What sort of expression should I be making...?
90

Kawasaki

Hmm... Well...
You could try remembering a time when An looked visibly happy and you felt really glad for her.
91

Kohane

Listen

When I felt glad for her...?
B-But that's happened so much...
I don't know which memory to go with...!
92
Oh, Kohane, you're such a straight arrow.
It's okay, just try to relax.
93

Kawasaki

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?
94

Kohane

Listen

O-Okay...

Sound Effect: Play

95

Shizuku

Listen

Kohane seems a bit tense.
96

Airi

Listen

Yeah...
I hope she finds a way to shake those nerves.
97

Shizuku

Listen

What if we did some stretches or something else that can help her relax a little...?
98

Airi

Listen

Relax, huh...?
Oh, An, can I borrow you for a sec?
99
Huh? Yes?
100

Airi

Listen

Haruka mentioned how you two are really close. If that's true, why not...?
101

Airi

Listen

...is what I wanna try.
What do you think?
102
I see...
Okay! Let's give it a go!

Oh dear. You seem more nervous when you're by yourself. I apologize for asking so much of you.
104

Kawasaki

Let's try taking these a different way.
Um...
105

Kohane

Listen

(No... My face is totally freezing up...!
I have to find a way to smile fast...!)
106

Kohane

Listen

(But how...?)
107

Airi

Listen

Sorry, Ms. Kawasaki!
Would it be alright if the three of us tried doing this pose we like together?
108
We have a feeling that it'll look more natural, you know?
109

Kawasaki

Yes, I understand...
Okay, I don't mind you doing this pose of yours.
110

Airi

Listen

Okay... Here it is!

Sound Effect: Play

111

Kohane

Listen

Huh?! Wh-What's going on, Airi?
Why are you hugging An all of a sudden...?!
112

Airi

Listen

After discussing things with An, we decided to literally get closer to each other!
113
Yeah! And now we look like best friends!
114

Airi

Listen

Heh heh heh... What say you, Kohane?!
Are you gonna let me hog An all to myself?!
115

Kohane

Listen

Wh-What?
116

Airi

Listen

Congratulations, An!
You getting married really brings a tear to my eye...!!
117

Airi

Listen

And close it out by really squeezing her tight!
118
Th-Th-Thank you, Airi!
I'm so happy!
119

Kohane

Listen

Um... S-So...
120

Airi

Listen

Alright, Kohane, go get her!
This might be your last chance ever to hug her!
121

Kohane

Listen

M-My last chance...?!

Kohane

B-But... Noooo!

128
Man, that was so much fun!
We must've gotten in a year's worth of hugs just now♪
129

Kohane

Listen

B-But it was kind of embarrassing too...
130

Shizuku

Listen

Nice work, everyone!
Kohane, the expressions you made were so wonderful!
131

Kohane

Listen

R-Really?
Thank goodness...
132

Airi

Listen

Sorry about surprising you like that, Kohane.
133

Airi

Listen

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!
134

Kohane

Listen

No, that's okay! I feel so much more relaxed because of what you did, Airi! Thank you very much!
135

Airi

Listen

In that case, great!
There really is nothing better than when everyone's smiling!
136
(I'm so glad Kohane found a way to relax. I feel a lot better now compared to earlier too...)
137
(And the way Airi lightened up the mood in a flash was so incredible... It's like proof that she's really an idol!)
138
(Alright, I have to keep this up and get in some good shots with Shizuku!)

Huh? Did a cat just meow?
Is it the same cat from before?

Kinuya

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

I see...

Kawasaki

Everyone, let's move to our next location!

Oh, be right there!!
