Airi

Hehe. I'm sure our viewers can't wait to see what she has in store for us. Shall we give her the signal?

<Haruka! Your smile made me asdfkyg@ljk>
<Completely stunned.>
<Please archive this video. I want to watch this part on repeat forever.>
10

Airi

Listen

Nice smile, Haruka.
Worthy of a poster ad for a soda company I'd say.
11

Airi

Listen

I'm also seeing comments about it being on par with Shizuku's smile. What do you think, Minori?
12

Shizuku

Listen

Minori...?
13

Minori

Listen

Huh?!
I-I'm sorry, my heart might've stopped just now!
14

Minori

Listen

I knew that Haruka looked good wherever she went, but the sea takes the cake! The droplets of water from the ocean spray make it look like she's on a stage surrounded by blue glow sticks! It's so picturesque!
15

Minori

Listen

I'd love to enlarge it, put it in a big frame and hang it up on the biggest wall in my house so that I can greet her every day! Wait, then it'd be like we're living toge...
16

Airi

Listen

Okay, calm down. I lost you towards the end there. Mind scoring Haruka's smile for us?
17

Minori

Listen

Of course, Haruka gets the same score as Shizuku. 10 billion points!
18

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. I know how you feel.
Her smile really was lovely.
19

Airi

Listen

Next, Minori, you're up.
I hope you're ready to also blow us away.
20

Minori

Listen

Oh, right...
Am I really gonna be okay?!
21

Airi

Listen

Alright, Minori, it's finally your turn.
22

Minori

Listen

Y-Yeah!
23

Minori

Listen

I doubt that I'll be able to match the two smiles that preceded me... But they gave me a big boost of energy, so I'll do my best!
24

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. And we'll be cheering for you.
25

Haruka

Listen

Because you're such a hard worker, Minori, I have one piece of advice for you.
26

Minori

Listen

Advice?
27

Haruka

Listen

This actually isn't just about having a good idol smile.
28

Minori

Listen

Wait, it isn't...?
What do you...?
29

Airi

Listen

Okay, that's enough talk!
30

Airi

Listen

You seem plenty ready, Minori, so it's time for you to cast off!
31

Minori

Listen

O-Okay!
Minori Hanasato's all set to go!

Minori?!

Are you okay, Minori?

Minori

Um...
I'm all wet now...

37

Minori

Listen

Wh-Why did I fall off just now?!
I thought I was keeping my balance okay...
38

Minori

Listen

After Shizuku and Haruka made it look so fun too...
39

Haruka

Listen

It's actually pretty hard to stay aboard that thing...
40

Minori

Listen

What?! Really?!
So, this activity's actually about...?
41

Airi

Listen

Hehe. I believe it's time to reveal the big secret now that you've all pretty much figured out.
42

Airi

Listen

Singing and dancing are central to being an idol! And you need strong inner muscles to present yourself in an aesthetically pleasing manner... In other words, you need a really strong core!
43

Airi

Listen

That's why I decided to have us run a quick test to see where we all are individually in terms of core strength.
44

Comments

<Now I get it...>
<So, Minori doesn't have a very good core?>
<Hang on. You don't really need a strong core just to ride a banana boat, right?>
45

Airi

Listen

Heh heh heh. This is no ordinary banana boat. It actually has some weights in it that cause the rider to fall right off unless they have the core to withstand the force.
46

Minori

Listen

What?!
47

Shizuku

Listen

I didn't realize that...!
48

Airi

Listen

Wait, Shizuku, you did just fine. Why do you sound so surprised?
49

Shizuku

Listen

Because I couldn't tell at all...
I had no idea that it was designed to do what you just said.
50

Haruka

Listen

Is it possible that your core was naturally strengthened simply by working as a model...?
51

Shizuku

Listen

I wonder...
Yes, I did quite a lot of core exercises to maintain a good posture...
52

Airi

Listen

That's just Shizuku for you. She somehow always finds a way...
53

Minori

Listen

She's too amazing...
54

Airi

Listen

So, Minori, you're gonna need to focus on strengthening your inner muscles.
55

Airi

Listen

As many core workouts as we've done during practices and such, you know that yours still needs work, right?
56

Minori

Listen

Guh...
I-I'll keep trying my best...!
57

Haruka

Listen

Don't worry.
As long as you diet and exercise properly, your core will naturally develop over time.
58

Haruka

Listen

Just let me know if you ever want to hear some tips and tricks. For instance, your muscles tend to get broken down during workouts and you can mitigate that by taking essential amino acids.
59

Haruka

Listen

I brought some powder that you mix with water for this training camp, so I'll be more than happy to share with you.
60

Minori

Listen

Really?! Thank you so much...!
61

Minori

Listen

Essential amino acids...? I've never heard of them before, but I'll drink lots and lots of that stuff if you recommend it, Haruka!
62

Airi

Listen

More isn't necessarily better in this case... But you're lucky to have such a good trainer by your side.
63

Haruka

Listen

Also, Airi, you haven't ridden on the banana boat yet. You're not going to avoid riding it by pulling the producer card on us, are you...?
64

Airi

Listen

Hehe. Of course I'm riding it.
65

Comments

<Really?!>
<We get to see Airi's amazing smile?!>
<Grace us with your power!>

You got it!
I'm gonna show you all what a real idol smile is!

She hasn't budged at all...

Minori

*Sob*
So, I'm the only one who had trouble riding it...
71

Haruka

Listen

That's okay.
It just means we need to work on your core a little, which we can do during this training camp.
72

Minori

Listen

Haruka...!
73

Minori

Listen

Right! I, Minori Hanasato, vow to do my best!!
74

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. And we'll be right behind you.
75

Shizuku

Listen

Now, I believe it's about time we saw her idol smile. This is the camera, right...?
76

Minori

Listen

Sh-Shizuku, you're holding it upside down! I can handle it if you like!
77

Shizuku

Listen

Oh, really..?
I really appreciate it, Minori. It's all yours.

Happy Wipeout...?
89

Minori

Listen

Yeah! Whenever she fell into the pool during a variety show, she'd always make everybody laugh by striking a funny pose on her way down!
90

Minori

Listen

And she just did the one where the Little Mermaid's chasing after a crab! It's one of her most popular poses and we hardly ever get to see her do it!

Remember kids, don't try this at home!

A pose with a punchline.
We couldn't have asked for more, Airi.

You had us laughing all the way through.

Minori

Listen

Yeah!
Cute and funny! You're really the best, Airi!
97

Minori

Listen

And your Little Mermaid pose at the end there was so good. It's a little sad compared to your initial idol smile, I guess? But I also thought it was just like you to add some drama to the mix.
98

Haruka

Listen

Hehe. It really was a sight to behold.
I doubt anyone besides you is capable of that, Airi, and I'm sure our viewers enjoyed what they just saw.

Comments

<I love how Airi always finds ways to spice things up.>
<I knew you had something fun in store for us!>
<That was awesome! I'm glad you were on all those variety shows!>

Airi

Listen

Hehe. I appreciate all your comments. It was totally worth the effort.
101

Minori

Listen

U-Um, so... About that test...
I ended up being the only one who needs more training...
102

Minori

Listen

W-Would it be possible for me to try this again?!
103

Airi

Listen

What?
104

Minori

Listen

I probably won't be able to do anything like what Airi did... But I want to keep trying until I can pull off a proper idol smile!
105

Airi

Listen

That's great to hear...!
And I like your moxie.
106

Airi

Listen

However, we're not gonna cut any corners, so get ready to fully commit yourself to this!

Minori

Listen

Understood!!
I, Minori Hanasato, promise to do my absolute best!

Haruka

Listen

Hehe. You did work pretty hard during our special banana boat training session.
110

Airi

Listen

But you managed to pull off a nice idol smile in the end, so I say, “Mission accomplished!” Plus, I think you got a better idea of how to engage your core and steady yourself.
111

Minori

Listen

Yeah, I think you're right!
The area around my tummy feels kinda twitchy... Like it's gonna be super sore tomorrow!

Comments

<You did put in a great effort, Minori.>
<Your idol smile was really cute!>

Minori

Thank you all for your kind words! I really appreciate it!
114

Airi

Listen

If I'm gonna be honest, you really didn't have to try doing my Happy Wipeout...

Comments

<The boat was fun, but so was watermelon smashing.>
<Yeah, I liked it when they smashed watermelons too.>
<That was an interesting game.>
116

Shizuku

Listen

Yes, it was.
Especially how one of us was only allowed to help the blindfolded person by speaking, while the other was allowed to help them in any other way...
117

Haruka

Things got really interesting when Minori was blindfolded. I couldn't talk, and when she made eye contact with Shizuku...

120

Airi

Listen

Heh heh heh...

Haruka

(Oh, Airi dug these to make it more difficult to walk. Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to talk, so I'll need Shizuku to tell Minori somehow...)

Haruka

Shizuku

Oh, now I see! Thank you!

Haruka

(Thank...)

Shizuku

Minori!
Haruka says to watch out for the crabs that are walking around!

Haruka

(N-No, not that...!)

Minori

I didn't realize reaching the watermelon with a blindfold on would be so tough.

Haruka

Fortunately, we managed to figure out a way to guide you to it in the end.
130

Shizuku

Listen

Exactly!
Haruka and I even worked out a system to communicate simply through eye contact.
131

Minori

Listen

Yeah, your teamwork was amazing!
Thanks to you two, we were able to have this really yummy watermelon!
132

Airi

Listen

Hehe. I'm glad to hear that you all enjoyed it so much.
133

Haruka

Listen

About that, Airi. How did you come up with this?
134

Airi

Listen

Oh, I didn't conjure this up out of thin air.
135

Airi

Listen

A bunch of “blindfold games” exist out there that are all supposed to be good team-building exercises...
136

Airi

Listen

But I thought it'd be fun to mix in watermelon smashing somehow since we'd be at the beach for our training camp.
137

Minori

Listen

Really?! I didn't know that!
138

Airi

Listen

I tried simulating it a few times, but wasn't really sure how it'd go for this. So, I'm really glad it went as well as it did...!
139

Haruka

Listen

Our training camp also seems to be going very well overall.
140

Minori

Listen

Let's keep go, go, going!
What are we doing next?!
141

Airi

Listen

I don't mean to be a buzzkill, but we'll be pausing the stream temporarily to take a quick break.
142

Comments

<What? You're pausing the stream? But...>
<Yeah, you've been at it for a while now.>
<I agree. All of you deserve to take a break.>
143

Airi

Listen

Thanks. I get that parting is such sweet sorrow. However, if you want to put on a good performance, you have to train hard while making sure to recharge along the way.

So, we'll be back in about two hours! Stay tuned, everyone! See you then...
