That means...)

...!

We have an update!

Does that mean...?!

Yeah, the results are in!

Alright, who made it in...?

We made it...!

Our account name is on the list!

Really...?!

We did it, Kohane!

Wow...!

Thank you both so much!

Oh, but...

Congratulations, Azusawa...

You too, Toya, Kiritani.

We came in twelfth.

We were so close.

Yes, that is unfortunate...

Especially considering how hard you tried, Ena...

But I can't complain about the results...

I mean, you guys did take a really amazing picture.

That being said, this is still beyond frustrating.

Ena...

Um, Ena...?

Would you like to have the makeup that's included in the prize?

What?

I don't think we would've been able to take the photo we did if you weren't here competing against us.

So, I'd like you to have it...

Azusawa...

Wait, are you sure...?

Yes. We were actually only after the chocolates, so I feel the makeup should go to you since you'd actually use it.

I'm not sure how to feel about being rewarded despite not placing in the top ten...

But I'll probably feel worse if I rejected your offer, Azusawa.

Hehe. I agree.

Thank you. I promise to make great use of them...

You're welcome...!

Still, this ended up being a pretty action-packed day. It's funny how this all started with us hanging out at a cafe together...

I know, right? Who would've guessed that we'd end up competing against Toya and his team like this.

I definitely wouldn't have...

But I had a lot of fun trying something new.

Oh...

(Speaking of which...)

Um... There's actually something I'd like to show all of you.

Oh, what do you wanna show us?

This photo...

This looks like... Just now when we started talking after we'd finished shooting...

You took one of us?

This is so wonderful. Look at the way we're all smiling.

Yes, I saw that and decided to take a photo.

Azusawa, if possible, can you send me a copy of this...?

Huh?

It ended up being kind of a long day, but seeing this picture reminded me of just how much fun I had competing against you guys...

Ena...

I had fun as well.

I enjoyed taking pictures with Kohane and Aoyagi, and our little rivalry.

So, Kohane, mind also sending me a copy...?

Me as well.

Okay...!

I'll send it over once I've had a chance to retouch it a little!

(It's so great how photos allow you to relive happy moments like these and share them with others...)

(This is why I love photography so much...)

Oh, since we're all gathered like this, why don't we take a group photo to mark the occasion? You weren't in that other one, Azusawa.

Yeah!

Then, let's squeeze in a bit so that Ena can get us all.

Kohane, come closer.

O-Okay!

Ready? Three, two, one...

Oh, Ena, Happy Valentine's Day!

Did you bring the goods...?

Of course, I did.

That's why I asked you all to gather here. So, here they are.

Whoa, this wrapping's super cute!

Hang on. This looks pretty pricey!

Because it is. I wasn't sure about it at first, but I decided to get it after you said that you'd be getting a big bag of chocolates for us all to share. A case of quality over quantity...

Thanks, Ena!

Now I really can't wait for our party to get started♪

By the way...

You seem kinda different today...

Oh, is it your makeup? Did you try something new...?!

Hehe. You noticed?

I'm using a new kind of eye shadow today.

I knew it!

It looks really cute on you! What brand?

It's by Colore Mi.

Actually, it's the one they made in collaboration with Couleur Chocolat.

What?!

I thought they ran out immediately after they started taking orders.

They did, but one thing led to another and I managed to get my hands on it. From Azusawa.

Huh? Azusawa...? You mean Kohane? What does she have to do with this?

Hehe. The thing is...

What?!

You all entered into a photo contest together?!

Yeah, and we ended up battling against Haruka for the prize.

I still can't believe that happened.

Airi and Shizuku were taking pictures of Ena, and she was so good at making all these different expressions.

Really...?!

No fair.

I wanna see the pictures you guys took.

Then, I'll ask to see if it's okay for me to show you. I'm sure they'll say yes anyway.

But we all had so much fun.

We even ended up having dinner together afterwards.

Yeah, and it was great to be able to use everything I learned about being an idol to help Kohane as her friend...

Haruka...

I know exactly what you mean.

It filled me with so much joy when Ena said how happy she was about the pictures we took.

Hehe. Sounds like you all had a wonderful day...♪

We did.

Oh, I made sure to bring the chocolates we won. Why don't we have some before we start practicing?

Including us?

Thanks, Haruka.

These look lovely♪

*Sob*

They look so pretty... And delicious...

But...

...!

Yeah, this company really knows how to make good chocolates.

Definitely! I don't think I've ever had any as good as these before!

And they go incredibly well with coffee.

*Sob*

Don't tempt me by shoving how much you're enjoying them in my face...!

Just have some already, will you?

But... If I eat them, they'll be gone forever...

Um, An...?

It'd make me really happy if you do eat them...

*Nod*

I definitely will! I promise...!

But I wanna cherish them just a little while longer...

It's also not about just how cute these chocolates are... You worked really hard to get these for me. I don't even know how to begin thanking you!

An...

You really are the best, Kohane!

Hehe... You're welcome!

But I was only able to get these because of the help I received. I really appreciate what you did, Aoyagi.

I couldn't believe it when you said that you entered into that photo contest, but credit where credit's due. Thanks for these...

You're welcome.

(I'm so glad that An and Shinonome like their gifts...)

(I couldn't have done this without Aoyagi and Haruka, but I'm really glad I decided to take a chance at that photo contest...)

(Also...)

(I want to keep taking photos of precious moments like these and leave behind a nice record.)

Oh, Kohane, can you show us the pictures of Toya you took?

Yeah, I wanna see too!

And you gotta tell us more about this contest!

Okay!

I took some photos of him while he was getting ready, so I'll explain while showing you those.

Let's start with... This one.
