Shizuku

Do we have all our things?

2
Character icon
Minori

Yup, all set!

Miku and the others ran a quick check for us!

3
Character icon
Miku

<And your tickets for the trip back are tucked away in your pockets!>

4
Character icon
Airi

Hehe. Sounds like we're ready!

As much as I hate to, let's head out.

5
Character icon
Airi

Oh, we should also thank Saito and...

6
Character icon
Saito

You're leaving already?

7
Character icon
Shizuku

Oh, your timing is impeccable!

We were just about to go thank you for everything.

8
Character icon
Haruka

Thank you for these past three days.

The food was delicious and the baths were wonderful. We feel so refreshed that it's easy to forget that we came here for work.

9
Character icon
Minori

Work or no work, we promise to come again!

10
Character icon
Saito

Hehe. The proprietress is going to enjoy hearing that. We hope to see you back again soon.

11
Character icon
Airi

So, we'll be leaving now, but do you know when you're going to be back in Tokyo?

12
Character icon
Saito

I plan on going back once the festival is over and things have settled down.

13
Character icon
Shizuku

Hehe. We wish you the best of luck.

Also...

14
Character icon
Shizuku

When you do return, we'd like to have another discussion about you becoming our manager.

15
Character icon
Shizuku

Next time, we promise to have the details regarding your contract all sorted, including your compensation.

16
Character icon
Saito

Shizuku...

17
Character icon
Airi

Oh, of course...

If you think becoming the manager of MORE MORE JUMP! isn't what you want to do, please feel free to turn us down.

18
Character icon
Haruka

Right.

After all, you fulfilling your dream is what matters most to us.

19
Character icon
Saito

All of you...

20
Character icon
Saito

Thank you so much.

21
Character icon
Saito

I'm afraid that I not only caused Shizuku a lot of trouble, but made you all worry about me too.

22
Character icon
Saito

But...

23
Character icon
Saito

After all of that, my mind is already made up.

24
Character icon
Shizuku

What...?

25
Character icon
Saito

I don't need to see my contract.

26
Character icon
Saito

Please! Let me become your manager!

27
Character icon
Minori

What?!

28
Character icon
Airi

W-Wait, slow down.

We're not exactly in any position to talk since we rushed into asking you the other day...

29
Character icon
Airi

But we can't really agree to anything before we have your contract figured out. We've gotta hammer all that out first.

30
Character icon
Saito

No, I don't care!

I owe you all an enormous debt!

31
Character icon
Shizuku

A debt? No, we didn't do anything like...

32
Character icon
Saito

No, you did!

33
Character icon
Saito

You turned my vague wishes into a concrete dream. You made me want to keep moving forward.

34
Character icon
Saito

And this time, you gave me the courage to go after my dream!

35
Character icon
Saito

I don't know how I'm ever going to repay you all for what you've done.

36
Character icon
Saito

But I promise to do what I can.

I'll do anything!

37
Character icon
Shizuku

Saito...

38
Character icon
Saito

O-Okay, maybe that's going a little too far. But in any case...

39
Character icon
Saito

I know that being a manager is the furthest thing from easy. I'm going to have to be there for all of you during more than just events and such.

40
Character icon
Saito

I've never been a manager before...

I've studied how to be one a little, but I'm still just a student. I have no real-world experience. Regardless...

41
Character icon
Saito

I vow to do everything in my power to let everyone out there know how great MORE MORE JUMP! is.

42
Character icon
Shizuku

Saito...

43
Character icon
Saito

I don't plan on receiving any special treatment just because I have zero experience. My goal will be to get this group whatever jobs you want from wherever I can.

44
Character icon
Saito

Until all your dreams come true.

45
Character icon
Saito

No, beyond that...

I want to witness what you're all going to achieve.

46
Character icon
Shizuku

...

47
Character icon
Saito

So...

48
Character icon
Saito

Please, let me be your manager!

I beg you!

49
Character icon
Shizuku

Thank you very much, Saito.

Your words have left us elated.

50
Character icon
Saito

...!

Then!

51
Character icon
Shizuku

We would love to have you.

52
Character icon
Shizuku

We know you didn't make this decision lightly, and I promise to never forget that...

53
Character icon
Shizuku

I'm so excited.

We really get to go on this journey together.

54
Character icon
Shizuku

So, now that we're together.

55
Character icon
Shizuku

Your dreams, our dreams...

Let's do our best to make them all come true!

56
Character icon
Saito

Shizuku...

57
Character icon
Saito

Yes, let's do that!

58
Character icon
Luka

<Hehe. That's so wonderful.>

59
Character icon
Len

<Yeah.>

60
Character icon
Airi

But really, let's have another discussion soon regarding your contract...

61
Character icon
Minori

Yeah, since you won't be able to make a living on zero pay!

62
Character icon
Haruka

Of course, we won't make you sign anything like that.

63
Character icon
Saito

Hehe. Thank you.

I'll let you all know once I'm back in Tokyo.

64
Character icon
Shizuku

Yes, we'll be waiting!

65
Character icon
Minori

Hehe. This is so great!

You're really gonna be our manager!

66
Character icon
Minori

That means our next event's guaranteed to be super spectacular!

67
Character icon
Haruka

Yeah.

We'll need to start hammering out all the details for that.

68
Character icon
Saito

I'm still in talks with that one venue, so it may be good for us to work on some of your ideas while we wait to hear back from them.

69
Character icon
Saito

While we're at it, would you mind sharing your schedule with me again? I'd like to book a place for our next meeting.

70
Character icon
Shizuku

Oh...

That's so kind of you!

71
Character icon
Airi

Yeah, that'd be huge.

We always have a hard time booking rental meeting rooms during our free time.

72
Character icon
Minori

Sometimes the place we want is completely booked... Whenever that happens, we have to find somewhere else on the fly, which is always really tough...

73
Character icon
Saito

Yes, those sorts of little things can add up to a lot of time lost. But I'll be taking care of all that from now on!

74
Character icon
Saito

Still, it would be nice to have a dedicated place where you could all meet and practice whenever you like. Most of the big agencies have buildings just for those purposes.

75
Character icon
Haruka

I suppose that's one of the drawbacks of freelancing.

76
Character icon
Shizuku

Yes...

And it's not like we can just build one ourselves...

77
Character icon
Airi

Build one ourselves...

78
Character icon
Airi

Yeah, why don't we do that?!

79
Character icon
Shizuku

What?!

80
Character icon
Minori

W-We're gonna build a house?!

81
Character icon
Airi

That's probably out of the question.

But buying isn't our only option. We can always rent.

82
Character icon
Airi

That seems a lot more realistic, right...?

83
Character icon
Airi

A place where we can practice, have meetings, shoot and edit videos—every aspect of our work. A place MORE MORE JUMP! can call home.

84
Character icon
Airi

We can call it...

The MORE MORE HOUSE!

85
Character icon
Haruka

The...

86
Character icon
Minori

MORE MORE HOUSE?!
