S-Saki, what's going on?!
Where are we...?

Okay, we're here♪

Huh...?

Hi, Minori. I hope work went well.

Wh-What's going on here...?!
Why are you all...?

Heh heh heh.

Ta-daa!
It's time to start our “Good Luck Minori and Haruka” party♪

Wait, Haruka and me...?!

I heard from Saki that you'll both be switching over to the credit-based course soon.

Saki told you...?

Hehe. Shiho and Kohane were the ones who told me...

I realized that we wouldn't be able to hang out and have fun like this as much after you two go credit-based...

So, I was hoping that we could have one last party to remember before you make the switch!

We weren't sure about throwing it today since it's getting late...

But this was sort of the only day that we could get to work because we all have practice and stuff.

Right! So, we decided to do it today since it'd also be a nice surprise!

I mean, it is a bit of a miracle that we were all free today.

Unfortunately, because it's already kinda late, there isn't a whole lot we can do...

But get ready for an unforgettably fun party, you guys!

Saki... All of you...

Thank you!
It's so nice of you to do this!

Still, I wasn't expecting to be thrown a surprise party.

Hehe. I couldn't believe it either when I got a message about this earlier.

But I do agree that we should take this opportunity to have as much fun as we can.

Haruka...

Okie dokie!
Let's get this party started!

Up first, we have...

These new cakes on the menu are supposed to be really good!

Oh, they only serve them at night...

Then it's good we chose to come today!
But there's so many different types. I don't know which to choose...

Then, let's all get different ones and share them with each other! That way, we'll all get to try a bunch!

Sounds good.
In that case, I think I'll get this one with a rabbit on top.

A rabbit, you say?
It suits you rather well, Shiho.

W-We're all getting something different, right? It's not about what suits who...

Then, I'll get the one with a bear on top. You can eat the bear, Hinomori.

Look, you're getting the wrong idea!

Hmm...
I can't get any hits...

To be fair, you have already...
On someone else's lane...

You did the same thing last time, Minori.

Wait, that sound...! Someone just threw a perfect game! But who...?!

Um, I somehow managed to hit them all.

Wh-Whoa...!
Did you use your idol powers or something...?!

Wait, but...!
I'm an idol too!!!

Y-You can do it, Minori!
I'm sure your next one will hit!

Hmm...
Maybe a tad to the right... Just a tad.

L-Like this...?

No, Ichi, that's too far!

Darn...
I was so close.

Did you all win anything?

No, nothing on our end... Wait, huh?!

Wh-Where did you get all those plushies?!

Oh, so... Aoyagi's really good at these games and taught me how to win stuff from them.

Oh, that's right! Toya's really skilled when it comes to claw machines! He's won stuff for me before!

I'm still nowhere near as good as he is, but I tried putting what he said into practice...!

That's incredible...

Please teach me, Professor Claw!

You couldn't come up with a better name for her?

(Hehe...
Hanging out together like this is so much fun.)

(And I couldn't be more grateful that they're taking the time to do this. I really need to thank Saki later...!)

(After I do make the switch to go credit-based, we probably won't be able to do stuff like this as much...)

(No, enough about that.
That's exactly why I should make the most of this time!)

*Sigh*
We did so much just now!

Yeah, we did.
We crammed so much into a short amount of time.

It feels like I just spent a three-day weekend hanging out with you guys.

It does... I haven't had many chances to hang out like this lately, so it felt like a nice escape from things.

I agree...
Our solo show kept us busy for a while too.

Yeah, it did!
I'm glad we got to take a break and just have fun for a change♪

What do you think, Minori, Haruka?
Did you both have fun today...?

Of course, we'll always remember today.
Right, Minori?

Yeah!

I really, really appreciate you all gathering like this, and...

I'm truly grateful to have friends like you who give us so much support...

Minori...

So, for me...
Just having met you all is the greatest of memories...

I couldn't have asked for better friends.

Th...

Thank goodness!
We did it, Ichi, Shiho, Kohane!

Yeah, I guess it was worth doing this today.

Thank you so much for putting this party together in such a hurry! It was really, reeaally fun!

Which is also why...

Having to say goodbye for today is a little tough...

Oh, no...
It's not over yet.

Huh?

Hehe. We still have another surprise for you both!

Another surprise?

Yeah.
We went and got you presents before my shift!

What...?

Here, it's these.
Matching ballpoint pens for the both of you.

They're nice ones from a nice brand!
And they feel really nice to write with!

You could be a little more descriptive, Saki.

We weren't sure what to get you two at first, but we thought something practical that you can use while you work would be best...

So...
You're always writing up stream proposals and scripts, right? We thought you could use these to make your edits.

Shizuku even told me one time how it's always nice to have a multicolor pen on hand.

You all put that much thought into these...?

Oh, I know this might make it feel like a chapter of your life is coming to a close... But again, this isn't goodbye.

What she said! We all wanna be friends forever and ever!

You guys...

Getting your homework done and stuff's gonna be pretty hard, so don't be afraid to ask for help if you think you need it.

If we're going to be ready to help them whenever, we'll need to take really good notes during class.

*Gasp*

Thank you so much!

Huh?! Minori...?!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you sooo much! You're all the best!

I don't think... I'll ever, ever forget this day.

I'm gonna treasure the time we spent together today! Forever!

Minori...

Alright, settle down...
