Mafuyu

Listen

The study guides should be on this shelf...
2

Mafuyu

Listen

(But where is the one that my teacher recommended going to be...?)
3

Mafuyu

Listen

(I can't find it...
What if it's in a different part of the store?)
4

Mafuyu

Listen

(I need to find it soon...
Mom's going to start worrying about me if I come home late again...)
5

Mafuyu

Listen

...
6

Mafuyu

Listen

(She's already been asking me so many questions since that day I went to PXL...)
7

Mafuyu

Listen

(Questions like, “Why are you late?” or, “Who were you with?”)
8

Mafuyu

Listen

She's just concerned because I wasn't able to take that practice exam, right...?
9

Mafuyu

Listen

Anyway, I need to find that study guide...
10

Mafuyu

Listen

(It looks like the ones for medical school are on this shelf. If I look here...)
11

Mafuyu

Listen

Oh...

Mafuyu

Hello, Mom? Is something the matter...?
16

Mafuyu's Mother

<Mafuyu, has school already let out?>
17

Mafuyu's Mother

<Oh, I'm sorry for calling you so out of the blue like this. The thing is, I got you some of those snacks you seem to like since you don't have cram school today, but you were taking so long to come home.>
18

Mafuyu

Listen

Oh...
I'm sorry for making you worry so much about me.
19

Mafuyu

Listen

School is out, but I'm at the bookstore right now. Remember the study guide my teacher recommended that I told you about last night during dinner?
20

Mafuyu's Mother

<Ah, that's right.
Hehe. I'm so proud of you.>
21

Mafuyu's Mother

<And I have you covered there.
I just happened to find that study guide at the bookstore in our neighborhood, so I decided to purchase it.>
22

Mafuyu

Listen

Oh, I see...
I'm glad since I was actually having trouble finding it here. Thank you, Mom.
23

Mafuyu's Mother

<Hehe. That study guide should keep you busy this weekend... So, why don't I make you some of your favorite stew this Saturday?>
24

Mafuyu

Listen

Really? That'd be great.
25

Mafuyu's Mother

<Since you'll be hard at work, I'll do my best to make it even more delicious than usual. Anyway...>
26

Mafuyu's Mother

<Come home soon.>
27

Mafuyu

Listen

Okay, I will.

Huh...?
31

Mafuyu

Listen

(There's something going on outside of the station.)
32

Mafuyu

Listen

(It looks like they're setting up stalls on Main Street...)
33

Mafuyu

Listen

(Oh, that poster... Miku's on it...)
34

Mafuyu

Listen

“Shibuya Festa”...?
35

???

Listen

Asahina...?
36

Mafuyu

Listen

Huh...?
37

Shizuku

Listen

I had a feeling that it was you, Asahina!
I wasn't expecting to run into you here.

Mafuyu

Listen

Hello, Hinomori.
Are you on your way home now?
39

Shizuku

Listen

Yes, I am.
I stopped by this Japanese confectionary shop to buy some things today.
40

Shizuku

Listen

Oh, since we have the opportunity, why don't we walk back together?
41

Mafuyu

Listen

Sure, I don't mind.
Especially since we hardly ever walk home together.
42

Shizuku

Listen

Well, we are in different classes, and you usually have to rush home after club, yes?
43

Mafuyu

Listen

Haha...
I sort of have to since I usually have cram school afterwards.
44

Shizuku

Listen

That's so incredible...
Not only do you get good grades, you're also a talented archer, you're a class representative and you go to cram school.
45

Mafuyu

Listen

Hehe. Not as incredible as you, Hinomori, since you do your best to attend club while being an active idol.

46

Mafuyu

Listen

It's getting very noisy.
I think they're setting up the stage or something.
47

Shizuku

Listen

Ah, I'm guessing it's for Shibuya Festa.
48

Mafuyu

Listen

Oh, like the thing from that poster...?
49

Shizuku

Listen

Yes, it's a festival that's going to be held for the very first time this weekend. It sounds like there's going to be all these stalls lined up along Main Street, while various events and activities are also taking place.
50

Shizuku

Listen

There's even going to be a stage in Nonogi Park, and other exciting things will also be happening.
51

Mafuyu

Listen

I see...
You seem to know quite a lot about this, Hinomori.
52

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe.
That's because MORE MORE JUMP! is going to perform at the Shibuya Festa stage.
53

Mafuyu

Listen

Wait, really?
54

Shizuku

Listen

Yes. A streamer we know called Nanamin is going to be the MC for the stage...
55

Shizuku

Listen

And she asked us if we'd like to be the opening act.
56

Mafuyu

Listen

I had no idea...!
This is going to be a great opportunity for your group to get its name out there, Hinomori.
57

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. That's exactly why we're all so excited about it. It's rare to be able to perform on an outdoor stage, and it serves as a nice checkpoint leading up to our solo show.
58

Mafuyu

Listen

Hehe. I'm happy for you.
I hope your performance at Shibuya Festa goes really well.
59

Shizuku

Listen

Yes, thank you!
If you have some time, I hope you get a chance to stop by and watch.
60

Shizuku

Listen

Oh, I'm this way so...
See you later, Asahina!
61

Mafuyu

Listen

Okay, see you.

Kanade

Listen

Okay, I'll play the new demo now.
66

Mizuki

Listen

Whoa...!
This one really knows how to find its way into your heart.
67

Miku

Listen

Yes... It's so beautiful...
68

Ena

Listen

Especially the sound that the violin makes. It's so simple, but it's really soothing...
69

Ena

Listen

Okay, I've got an idea!
I'm going to draw the perfect illustration for this. Just wait, Kanade.
70

Kanade

Listen

Thank you.
I'll be looking forward to seeing the video you and Mizuki come up with.
71

Kanade

Listen

What do you think, Mafuyu...?
Is there anything that bothers you?
72

Mafuyu

Listen

Not particularly.
I should be able to start writing the lyrics for it immediately.
73

Kanade

Listen

That's good to hear.
Then, why don't we all get straight to work?
74

Ena, Mizuki & Mafuyu

Listen

Yeah!
Okay.
75

Mizuki

Listen

Oh, this sort of doesn't have anything to do with the demo...
76

Mizuki

Listen

But is anyone here thinking about going to Shibuya Festa this weekend?
77

Ena

Listen

Oh, that's this weekend?
It's gonna be so crowded outside the station.

78

Mizuki

Listen

Yeah, but it is its inaugural year, so it might not be so bad. Still, it's hard to imagine a festival not being packed with people...
79

Rin

Listen

Shibuya Festa...?
80

Mizuki

Listen

Yeah! This festival called Shibuya Festa's about to take place!
81

Mizuki

Listen

Main Street's gonna be closed off to pedestrians only, and there's gonna be all sorts of food stalls. Caramel apples, crepes, you name it. The area outside the station's gonna be all of that from wall to wall.
82

Len

Listen

That sounds fun...
It'd be kind of nice if I could go...
83

Rin

Listen

Yeah, it could be fun...
84

Mizuki

Listen

It's absolutely gonna be fun!
I even heard that they're gonna have people performing on an outdoor stage!
85

Mizuki

Listen

I really wanna see the stage MC!
I mean, who wouldn't want to see the super-famous former idol known as...
86

Mafuyu

Listen

Nanamin?
87

Mizuki

Listen

Yeah, that's... Wait, what?!
How do you know her name, Mafuyu?!
88

Mafuyu

Listen

Hinomori told me earlier...
Her group was invited to perform by Nanamin personally.
89

Mizuki

Listen

What?! MMJ's gonna be performing?!
That means we gotta go early to claim a good spot!
90

Ena

Listen

That means Airi and Minori are gonna be performing too. I kinda want to go see them now.
91

Kanade

Listen

Me too...
Especially after how moved I was by Hanasato's performance at the Fan Festival...
92

Kanade

Listen

Oh, while we're on the subject, Ms. Mochizuki mentioned the other day that she'll also be performing...
93

Ena

Listen

Hold on, Honami plays music?
94

Kanade

Listen

Oh, that's right.
I don't think I told you, Ena.
95

Kanade

Listen

Hoshino, who we went to SpoJoy Park the other day with, is Ms. Mochizuki's childhood friend. They're in a band together and are trying to go pro.
96

Ena

Listen

What?! Is that true?!
97

Kanade

Listen

Yes.
So, I'd like to go see them if possible.
98

Ena

Listen

Right... Hmm... If all these people I know are gonna be performing, I probably really should go.
99

Mizuki

Listen

Then, let's all go together!
We'll get to have tons of fun since stuff's gonna be happening all day!
100

Ena

Listen

Oh, mind if we check out the art exhibit at some point? This artist I really like is supposedly going to have some pieces on display there.
101

Kanade

Listen

There's going to be an art exhibit...?
I'd like to see that as well.
102

Mizuki

Listen

Yeah, totally!
We should see as much stuff as we can♪
103

Mafuyu

Listen

104

Mizuki

Listen

How do you feel, Mafuyu?
Are you gonna be too busy studying during the weekend?
105

Mafuyu

Listen

Just don't regret your decision, okay...?
108

Mafuyu

I'll need some time to think about it.

Miku

110

Ena

Listen

Okay, but...
You're always free to let us know if you think you can go.
111

Mizuki

Listen

Yeah, we'll wait as long as you need!
112

Kanade

Listen

I'd like it if you could join us, but you don't need to force yourself...

Okay...
