Airi

Listen

Hmm...
2

Airi

Listen

I've tried adjusting our schedule a few different ways, but it just doesn't seem like we'll be able to accept more offers...
3

Airi

Listen

As much as I don't want to, we're gonna have to turn a few of these people down...

4

Airi

Listen

Hm? A new email...?
5

Airi

Listen

Oh, it's from that radio program.
I asked them yesterday to see if they can change the meeting date, but let's see...

6

Airi

Listen

Not really possible, huh?
I guess their producer's also pretty busy.
7

Airi

Listen

It would've been a nice opportunity to get our song out there, but we don't really have a choice...
8

Airi

Listen

Unfortunately, I'm gonna have to politely turn down their offer...

9

Airi

Listen

(Wait a second...)
10

Airi

Listen

(Shizuku and I could conceivably make it...)
11

Airi

Listen

(Unlike Haruka and Minori, we're credit-based, which means we don't always have to be at school.)
12

Airi

Listen

(But the four of us have always done everything together as MORE MORE JUMP! Would it be okay for us to go without them...?)
13

Airi

Listen

(I mean, it's not like we have a rule saying that we have to do absolutely everything together...)
14

Airi

Listen

(But I think all of us being present has made it easier to share responsibilities and move as a unit.)
15

Airi

Listen

(At the same time, as we keep receiving offers, we won't be able to keep doing that...)
16

Airi

Listen

(If we want to be given more opportunities in the future, it might be best to have even just one of us appear...)
17

Airi

Listen

(Which means it'd be best to take advantage of the freedom allotted to us by the credit-based course.)
18

Airi

Listen

But I can't make this decision on my own. We need to discuss this as a group...

Hi, Shizuku?
Sorry, I know it's late. Are you free to talk right now...?

Minori

Listen

Thanks for waiting, you two!
21

Airi

Listen

Sorry about asking you to meet during lunch like this.
22

Haruka

Listen

No, that's fine... But you said there's something you wanted to talk about. Is everything okay?
23

Airi

Listen

Yeah, things are fine... But where do I begin?
24

Airi

Listen

Last night, while I was at home, I took another look at our schedule and made some adjustments. I've also already spoken to Shizuku about this.
25

Haruka

Listen

Adjustments to our schedule?
26

Airi

Listen

Yeah. We've had the fortune of receiving offers from various different people lately, right?
27

Airi

Listen

But we only have a finite amount of time available to us, which means we're having to turn more and more down...
28

Airi

Listen

So I began wondering if there's a way for us to not have to do that as much.
29

Minori

Listen

You've been doing all that for us, Airi...?!
30

Airi

Listen

It's nothing, really.
31

Airi

Listen

Anyway, I had an idea and talked with Shizuku about it. Would you two mind taking a look at this...?

32

Haruka

Listen

Our schedule...?
33

Minori

Listen

Huh...? Hang on...
There's stuff here for weekday afternoons now.
34

Haruka

Listen

But it's just you and Shizuku, Airi.
35

Airi

Listen

Remember how we're in the credit-based course? I was hoping we could take advantage of that and adjusted our schedule accordingly.
36

Minori

Listen

R-Right. This would definitely allow us to accept more offers...
37

Minori

Listen

But...
38

Haruka

Listen

Yes, I do agree that we should accept whatever offers we can, even if all four of us can't be there...

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

39

Haruka

Listen

At the same time, a lot of people out there want to see us together. As such, I'd like to be careful about which offers we do accept.
40

Airi

Listen

I agree. This is just a preliminary idea. Just one solution for addressing how we may or may not accept more offers moving forward.
41

Airi

Listen

That's why I wanna hear what you think...
42

Haruka

Listen

How do you feel about this, Airi...?
43

Airi

Listen

Me...? Well...
44

Airi

Listen

I believe that we're gonna need to take on as many of these offers as we can if we're going to achieve our goal.
45

Airi

Listen

So, I think Shizuku and I should take advantage of the freedom that the credit-based course affords us.
46

Haruka

Listen

I see...
47

Haruka

Listen

Yes, you're right. I agree.
However...
48

Haruka

Listen

I don't want to force you and Shizuku to carry a heavier burden than us.
49

Minori

Listen

Yeah...
I'm not sure how I'd feel about you two working while we're at school...
50

Airi

Listen

I wouldn't worry about that.
After all, this is for all of us.
51

Airi

Listen

I mean, being at school doesn't mean you have nothing to do, y'know...?

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

52

Minori

Listen

Huh?
53

Airi

Listen

There's plenty you can do here, right? For example, coming up with ideas for our stream in between classes.
54

Airi

Listen

If we go with this new scheduling scheme, we're gonna need you two to start handling more of those kinds of things. So, we'll be counting on you.
55

Minori

Listen

Oh... Y-Yeah! Okay!
56

Haruka

Listen

Right, we should do what we can...
57

Airi

Listen

Exactly. Again, we'll be counting on you.
58

Airi

Listen

Then, I'll start putting together a new schedule with what we just discussed in mind.
59

Airi

Listen

Each day's gonna start to feel a lot busier as we take on all these new offers...
60

Airi

Listen

But let's do our best!
