Assistant Director
Rolling in three, two...!

Airi
Alright, it's time for another installment of “Hey! Check Out This Town!”
3
Minori
T-Today, we're on the scene!
We're the idol group that's been getting a lot of buzz on social media! MORE MORE JUMP!
4
Child
You can do it!
5
Minori
Oh...! Thank you all so much!
Hehe. So, let's begin by explaining what this segment's all about!
6
Haruka
This segment involves traveling to various places and taking a closer look at the lives of the locals.
7
Airi
Right. And today, we get to be a part of the local elementary school's field trip!
8
Shizuku
A field trip...? What will we be doing...?
9
Haruka
Remember this part, everyone?
10
Children
Picking vegetables!
11
Children
Cooking curry!
12
Airi
Excellent! Both answers are correct!
I'm glad you all remembered.
13
Haruka
Yes, with the help of our friendly farmers here, we'll be learning about how various vegetables are harvested.
14
Minori
Then, we're going to use those veggies to whip up some curry!
15
Shizuku
Yes, what a wonderful field trip...
You get to pick, cook and eat your own vegetables.
16
Airi
So, let's dive right in.
Everyone, let's do our best and pick lots of yummy veggies!
17
Children
Yeah!
18
Staff Member
That concludes today's shoot.
Thank you all very much!
19
Haruka
Thank you.
20
Producer
Thank you for doing today's segment, ladies. I have a good feeling about this installment. I mean, the children all looked so happy.
21
Producer
The teachers also wanted me to give you their thanks. Children can easily get distracted, but you did a wonderful job of maintaining their interest.
22
Airi
No, we should be the ones thanking them.
This shoot ended up being a lot of fun because the children were all so full of energy!
23
Producer
That's great to hear!
I'm hoping that we can work together again in the future.
24
Minori
Y-Yes, of course! Thank you very much!
25
Producer
Oh, we should probably get going soon. Especially all of you since you have school tomorrow, yes?
26
Haruka
Thank you for keeping an eye on the time.
27
Producer
Not a problem.
Again, thank you all very much for today.
28
Shizuku
Yes, thank you as well!
Aboard a Train
29
Minori
Thank goodness we managed to catch the train!
30
Airi
The travel has been hectic, but we should be able to get home by this evening now.
31
Shizuku
Yes, but MORE MORE JUMP! doing a shoot in the countryside... I was a little worried since it was our first time doing anything like this, but I'm glad it went so well.
32
Haruka
Me too. And it sounds like they want us back... I'm glad we agreed to do this.
33
Minori
Definitely!
34
Minori
Not only that, picking veggies and cooking curry with everyone from that elementary school was so much fun...
35
Airi
Hehe. Minori, you sure went for a tumble while trying to pull out those carrots.
36
Haruka
Oh, I'm pretty sure that was caught squarely on camera.
37
Minori
What?! Really?!
That's so embarrassing!
38
Airi
Yeah, but the show couldn't have asked for more.
39
Minori
T-True...! So, that makes us lucky!
40
Shizuku
Hehe.
The children's energy was so infectious that I'm sure none of us could stop smiling. I have a really good feeling about this shoot.
41
Haruka
Yeah, I agree.
42
Minori
But we've received a ton of other offers too! That means we just gotta keep trying more and more and more!
43
Shizuku
That's true. Between interviews for magazines, radio appearances, paid promotions for our streams and... What else was there...
44
Airi
There were also some other TV offers like the one for today.
45
Shizuku
Oh, that's right!
46
Minori
Hehe. It's like we're in a dream.
I can't believe we're being given so many offers...!
47
Haruka
We started receiving more after our solo show, but...the TV offers in particular have been a recent development.
48
Airi
iHaz definitely had a huge impact.
I think that's led to everyone in the showbiz world starting to recognize us for who we are.
49
Shizuku
It's so nice that all these people are hearing about us and hoping to work with us.
50
Airi
You contributed a lot to our big break, Shizuku. You should be more proud.
51
Airi
When you gave that speech on iHaz and totally nailed it, you won over a ton of people!
52
Minori
Yeah! So many people on social media were talking about what you said afterwards!
53
Shizuku
Yes, I see...
I was really nervous at the time, but I'm so happy that everyone understood how I felt...
54
Minori
Alright, that means we gotta keep doing everything we can to spread hope to everyone!
55
Minori
*Yawn*
56
Haruka
Hehe. Sleepy, Minori?
57
Airi
We've been at it nonstop since early this morning. I can see why you're tired. Go ahead and get some shut-eye. I'll wake you up when we reach the station.
58
Minori
You will?! Thank you so much, Airi!
59
Airi
How do you feel, Haruka, Shizuku?
You two can go to sleep too if you want.
60
Shizuku
Then, if you don't mind...
61
Haruka
I'm okay for now.
There's actually something I still need to do.
62
Minori
Something you need to do?
63
Haruka
Yeah. We have a history quiz tomorrow and I want to study a little for it.
64
Minori
Oh, I have that too!
What do I do?! I completely forgot...!
65
Minori
*Sob*
I haven't studied for it at all, but I really need to...
66
Minori
Okay, instead of sleeping, I'm gonna study! Haruka, can I take a look at your textbook?!
67
Shizuku
Oh, in that case, I think I'll stay awake as well...
68
Airi
Don't mind them.
You don't have any tests or quizzes to worry about, right?
69
Shizuku
Yes, but if they're going to study, I'd like to be productive as well.
70
Shizuku
Oh, is there anything work-related that needs doing?
71
Airi
Hmm... Work-related...
72
Airi
Then, why don't we go through the DMs and emails? There's just too many for one person to handle.
73
Airi
Shizuku, you take the DMs.
Do you remember how to get to them? You tap here to move to the next message...
74
Shizuku
Yes, I think I remember!
Just leave it to me, Airi!
75
Airi
I can't say that I'm not worried, but they're in your hands now. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions, okay...?
76
Shizuku
Yes, I promise to try my best!
77
Airi
(Now, the emails...
Oh, we've received a few more since I last checked this morning...)
78
Airi
(This one's... A guest appearance on a radio program. It's only for a short segment, but it says they'll play our song for us.)
79
Airi
(This would be a chance to get it heard by more people.)
80
Airi
(Oh, but they want to meet with us about it in the afternoon during the week...)
81
Airi
(We can't because of school...
Still, it might be worth asking if they can meet on a different date...)
82
Airi
(It's great to be receiving all these offers, and I'd like for us to accept as many of them as possible...)
83
Airi
(But we also have our streams, practice and school, so taking them all on just doesn't seem doable.)
84
Airi
*Sigh*
What can we do about this...?
85
Airi
(For now, I'll start by taking another look at our schedule.)
