Next, we'll finally be shooting in front of the chapel! Are you ready, An, Shizuku?
2
Yes!
3

Shizuku

Listen

I'm ready as well!
4
(Okay, I feel much more relaxed after that last scene, so I should be good to go...!)
5
(I'm gonna be the most mature and beautiful bride I can be!)
6

Kawasaki

Alright, we'll start with you two coming face to face with the chapel in the background.
7

Kawasaki

I really want you two to wish for each other's happiness here.
8
(Wishing for each other's happiness, huh...?)
9
(When she puts it that way, I'm not really sure what kind of face to make while looking at her...)
10
(Oh...)
11
(That's incredible...
Shizuku's already in character.)
12
(That means I have to quit worrying and just try...! Be a calm, collected and mature bride...)

Mind escorting An down the stairs for me next?

Shizuku

Listen

(An seemed pretty nervous until a moment ago, but she seems all better now...)
20

Shizuku

Listen

(However... What is this I'm feeling...?
I can't help but feel a bit concerned...)
21

Kohane

Listen

(An looks just like a real bride...!
This is so amazing...!)
22

Kohane

Listen

(And yet... At the same time...)
23

Kohane

Listen

(Why does she seem so different from her usual self...?)

Hmm...
25

Airi

Listen

Is something the matter?
26

Kawasaki

In general, I can't really complain, but something doesn't feel right... She seems tense or anxious...
27
What...?
28

Shizuku

Listen

(The photographer seems to feel the same way...)
29

Shizuku

Listen

(Something's changed since she posed to take photos with Airi and Kohane.)
30

Shizuku

Listen

(Why is that...?)
31

Kawasaki

But I'm sure I'll be able to take great photos of you, An, Shizuku! I'm going to do my best to bring out the best in both of you...!

32

Kawasaki

So, in order to capture you both in a more natural state, would you mind talking to each other for a bit...?
33
Talk to each other...?
34

Kawasaki

Yes. It can be about whatever you like!
Today's weather, what foods you like, anything!
35

Shizuku

Listen

(Oh, this is a wonderful opportunity for me to hear how An's feeling right now...)
36

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. Okay, An, let's have a quick chat.
37
O-Okay!
38

Shizuku

Listen

This is actually my first shoot in quite some time, so I'm feeling a bit nervous. How are you doing, An?
39
Oh, I'm doing okay.
I feel much better after that last scene we took.
40
But I still haven't gotten used to wearing such a fancy dress. The same goes for these heels...
41
I guess I just feel more at home wearing the shorts and sneakers I usually have on during events.
42

Shizuku

Listen

Events?
Oh, I remember Haruka and Minori mentioning that...
43

Shizuku

Listen

You and your team are trying to surpass this really incredible event, yes?
44
Yes, that's right!
It's called RAD WEEKEND...
45
An unprecedented event which turned into this legendary night that nobody thinks anyone will ever surpass. But that's what me and my team are trying to do!
46

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. Yes, I see!
47

Shizuku

Listen

(An has such a great expression on her face...)
48

Shizuku

Listen

(It must be because she's working very hard towards surpassing this event.)
49

Kawasaki

Oh, that's a great look...!
Hold that for me!
50
Huh...?!
51
(Oh no! I reverted back to being my usual self! I totally forgot about trying to be a bride...)
52

Shizuku

Listen

Hm...?
53

Shizuku

Listen

(Her expression suddenly changed.
She had such a wonderful smile on her face just now too...)
54

Shizuku

Listen

Um, An...?
Would you mind telling me a little more about that event?
55
Oh, sure...
So....
56
(Focus and stay in character...)
57
We've been performing in various events as a team until now, but we recently decided to put on events together with other teams.
58
We're working with quite a few unique individuals, but they're all very skilled and able to unite as one when we need them to...
59
I genuinely believe that our group will be able to surpass that event someday.
60

Shizuku

Listen

I see...
Thank you, An.
61

Shizuku

Listen

(It didn't work...
I'm having trouble getting that smile back...)
62

Shizuku

Listen

(What happened? Why did her expression change so suddenly?)

63

Kawasaki

Thank you for that...!
Why don't we stop and take a break now?
64
*Sigh*
I'm exhausted...
65

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. That's understandable since you have to maintain the right posture to bring out the best in dresses like these.
66

Airi

Listen

Great work, you two!
Let's have a seat over there. I'm sure you're both exhausted after having to stand for so long.
67
That sounds nice.
I'll let Ms. Kawasaki know that... Huh?
68

Airi

Listen

Hm? What are they doing way over there?
69

Kohane

Listen

They seem to be talking about something... Do you think it's about the shoot?
70

Shizuku

Listen

We shouldn't wander off without letting them know first. Let's go over to tell them...
71
Okay! Um, Ms. Kawasaki...
72

Kawasaki

Hmm... What do I do...?
An still seems pretty tense.
73

Kawasaki

She usually has this beautiful spark to her too... Maybe I'm just not doing a good enough job...

Kinuya

What's your plan?
We can keep shooting until dusk, but you won't have this blue sky for much longer...
75

Kawasaki

Right... It's gonna be close, but I'm going to keep doing everything I can to draw some expressions out of An that show how full of life she is!
76

Kinuya

Okay...!
And I'll be there to help!

77
Oh...
78
(I thought I was doing a good job playing the bride, but I guess I wasn't...)
79
(What's worse, I made her tip-toe around the issue...)
80
(No, nothing's gonna come about from crying over my mistakes.)
81
(Ms. Kawasaki specifically chose me.
That means I have to keep doing my best to produce the perfect shot...!)
82
I have to keep trying to be as real a bride as I can...!
83

Shizuku

Listen

What?
84

Shizuku

Listen

(As real a bride...?)
85
Sorry, I'm going to head back to the waiting room to check my posture and how I look!
86
I'll just be a minute.
So if you'll excuse me, be right back!

Airi

Listen

Hey...!
Hang on, you two!
89
(This may've been unavoidable since it's my first time modeling for anything...)
90
(But I want to do things right and see this through until the end...!)
91

Kohane

Listen

An...!
An, wait...!

92
Huh?
Oh, Kohane... You came after me?
93

Kohane

Listen

Yeah, um... I can lend you a hand with anything if you need it...!
94

Kohane

Listen

I don't really know much about being a model, but I can at least tell you what I felt when I was watching you just now...
95
Kohane... Thanks for showing so much concern...
96
But I'm really sorry... I need to focus right now and check for what I'm missing on my own.
97
I promise to become the perfect bride, so please just bear with me for now!

Isn't there anything I can do for her...?

MEIKO

<...>
110

MEIKO

Listen

<Alright, how about this...?>
111

MEIKO

Listen

<What if I told you that there's something only you can do to help her, Kohane?>
112

Kohane

Listen

Huh? Something only I can do...?
What do you mean...?

MEIKO

Listen

<Hehe. Okay, just hear me out.
Once An returns...>
