Oh wow! Look at all the wedding dresses...!

Whoa! Check out that ball gown!
It looks so fluffy!

No sleeves either! It's simple and really pretty! Oh, this mini skirt's also super cute!

We can seriously choose from any of these dresses?!

Yup! Pick whichever you like!
The staff here will answer any questions you have☆

Cool! Then, where to start...
Maybe something standard, like an A-line...

Oh, those are over that way!
I'll show you!

Those two certainly seem to be enjoying themselves. Which would you like to try on, Ms. Yoisaki?

I'm not sure...
I don't even know where to begin, so I'm okay with just seeing what's here.

Oh, I see...

But wouldn't you like to try one on since we're here? It might be a good change of pace to put on something that you don't normally wear.

Why don't we try picking something out together? If you tell me your preferences, we may be able to find one you like.

I see...
Then, if you don't mind.

Of course. Let's find one together.

I was initially under the impression that wedding dresses all had to be white. But the dress exhibit showed me how they come in a variety of colors, and I see the same thing here.

White is the old standard, but there's actually nothing wrong with choosing another color. What do you like, Ms. Yoisaki...?

Well, I'm not set on any particular one, but something simple and subdued might be nice if I'm going to be wearing it. I'd feel pretty embarrassed if I ended up standing out by wearing something too vivid...

Then, one of these may work...
This one has a bit of light gray mixed in.
Yes, I think this would look really good on you.

Or... Oh, how about this one?
The lace pattern on it is so beautiful.

Okay, I think I'll try this one.
Thank you for helping me choose, Ms. Mochizuki.

I'm glad we were able to find something you like.

Me too. Oh, but... Ms. Mochizuki, you haven't picked a dress yet.

Don't mind me. It shouldn't take me too long to pick one.

Okay...

I'm sorry...

Huh? Why are you apologizing?

I feel like I've been giving you things to worry about this entire day.

Not only did you go out of your way to invite me to this event, you just helped me pick out a dress to wear...

Even when we were going around the booth area, you noticed that I was tired and suggested that we go somewhere with less people.

I-I'm sorry.
I must've seemed too overbearing.

No, please, don't say that.
If anything, I'm glad you're so worried about me.

It's just... I feel like I'm making you work even though you're technically off right now.

I know this isn't normal.
So, I'm sorry...

No, I...
I like doing this is all.

So, please don't mind me.
As long as you have fun today, I'll be happy.

Ms. Mochizuki...

Then, I will...
Thank you...

(I just wanted Ms. Yoisaki to enjoy herself, but that ended up having the opposite effect...)

(This is so much more difficult than I realized...)

Hey!
Have you two picked out your dresses yet?

Wow, Kanade, is that what you're gonna wear?! It's so pretty!

Ms. Mochizuki helped me choose it.
Otori, Mizuki, have you already picked yours out?

Yup☆ I just found the one I wanna wear!

I'm still kinda torn...
Can I ask you all for your opinions?

Sure. Oh, but... Ms. Mochizuki still needs a dress.

Oh, okay.
Then, Honami, you should probably go find one for yourself!

Oh, I'll go with her!
Kanade, you help Mizuki pick a dress☆

Okay, but I don't know if my opinion will help...

Don't worry! Just say whatever comes to mind for me!

Honami, they have lots and lots of pretty dresses here, so I'll try to show you as many of them as I can!

Hehe. I really appreciate it, Emu.

Hmm... Honami! Honami!
How about this one?

Oh! What a pretty pink, like the color of cherry blossoms... It's so lovely!

Hehe. I'm glad you like it! I thought it'd look really great on you! Also, just gimme a second to bring over some of the dresses I saw in that other section!

Hehe. Thank you, Emu.

...

Is something wrong, Honami?
You're all bunched up like a scrunchie...

L-Like a scrunchie...?

Oh, I mean... You look like you're thinking a whole lot and your heart's being squeezed really tight!

At least, that's the expression you had on your face just now...

Oh...

Is something bothering you?
If so, you can tell me!

Thank you, Emu.

Then, if you don't mind listening...

So, you just want Kanade to have fun today...?

Yes, that was the plan.
But it sort of ended up having the opposite effect.

I didn't realize it would be this difficult...

Hmm... Isn't there anything we can do...?

Oh, I know!

When I think “fun”, I think “shows”☆
So, we should put one on together!

Us? Putting a show...?

Heh heh heh! Just leave it to me!
I've got a great idea♪

Ta-daa! Check it out, everyone!
This is the dress I chose!

Wow, so many frills...!
It's adorable!

I know, right? It's a pretty simple design outside of the frills, but that means it shouldn't take too much time or effort to put on. I figure I can try on a bunch of different dresses if they're like this!

But I was really torn between pastel pink and magenta... Luckily, Kanade told me what she thought and I was able to decide on the pastel one!

Hehe. I think it's going to look really good on you, Mizuki.

Hehe. Thanks!
Do you already know what you're gonna wear, Honami?

Yes, Emu helped me with that.

Great.
Then, let's head to the fitting rooms!

Oh, Mizuki!
Before we do!

Did you know that you can do something really fun here along with trying on wedding dresses...?

Something fun...?

Yeah! After you pick out a dress, guess what...?!

You can have your own mock wedding!!!

A mock wedding...?
Yeah, that does sound like a lot of fun!

Hehe. Doesn't it?
You can have your pictures taken and even have a flower shower like a real wedding!

And there's more!

It doesn't have to be just any old wedding...
It can also be a show that you take part in!

A show?

Yeah, with the two participants as the main characters!

My brothers asked me if there was some way to make things more enjoyable for the guests...

So, I had a brainstorming session with Tsukasa, Nene, and Rui, and we came up with...!

“A Beleaguered Bride: A Special Wedding Presentation”!

What? A beleaguered bride...?

If it's something Rui and Tsukasa came up with, it's probably gonna be a bit nuts...

Haha. True...

But being in a show sounds difficult. Are you sure it's okay for complete amateurs to participate...?

Don't worry! Anyone is free to join in because it's such a simple story! You don't even have to read a script! Just listen to what the staff say and do what you'd do normally!

Shows are really fun to watch, but they're just as fun to be a part of! I spent a lot of time with Tsukasa and the others thinking about how to make this fun for all the guests!

Really...?
Then, should we give it a shot? I mean, it does sound pretty fun!

Umm...

(Yes, we shouldn't have much trouble participating in this show...)

(But I hardly ever do anything like this, so I'm a little worried as to how I'll do...)

(At the same time, if this is a chance for Ms. Yoisaki to have more fun...)

I-I'd like to give it a try...!

R-Really...?

Y-Yes! I think it'll be fun!
So... Ms. Yoisaki, would you like to be in it as well?

But I've never been in a show like this before...

I think we're all in the same boat there.
Why not take this opportunity to be in one with her, Kanade?

I really wanna see you perform in it while wearing that dress you picked out♪

M-Mizuki...

Haha! But I won't force you to do anything you don't want to.

Still, this kind of chance doesn't come by that often, so I kinda want you to have as much fun as possible.

Oh...

Wh-What do you say, Ms. Yoisaki?
Would you like to join me...?

Okay, I'll do it...

You will?! Woohoo!

Then, I'll go let the staff know☆
Honami, Kanade, you two get changed!

Okay! Thank you, Emu!

Hehe. I can't wait to see your guys' show!
And you wearing your dresses!

So, Kanade, Honami, break a leg!

O-Okay...

(I have to do my absolute best in order to make sure Ms. Yoisaki enjoys herself...!)
