Phew...

We sure did a lot today, looking at four different houses.

Yeah, and we found a really amazing house right at the end!

Still, there's no telling whether or not we're going to get approved.

<You'll be meeting with the landlady at eight the evening after next for an interview, yes?>

I wasn't expecting to be interviewed. I'm actually a little nervous. What do you think we're going to be asked...?

Questions that show whether or not we're actually capable of making our dreams come true, right?

H-How are we supposed to clearly convey that...?

<Whatever you're asked, I think you should tell this landlady how you truly feel. Just be yourselves and say whatever comes to mind.>

<Is someone calling?>

Oh, it's Saito.

Let me just press the speakerphone button and... Yes, hello?

<Hello!

You all went to look at those houses, yes? Did you find anything nice?>

Yes, we found a very lovely one.

We have to get approved for it first... But you've really gotta see it, Saito!

<That's great to hear...!

I really wish I could be there with you all, but the inn's just too busy right now...>

That's more than okay.

We still can't thank you enough for finding a real estate agency for us while working at your family's inn.

If we do manage to get approved, you're gonna be the first one to receive a tour! So wish us luck!

<Thank you!

I feel even more motivated to do a good job here!>

<Oh, also...

There's another reason why I called you.>

<The producer for iHaz, Mr. Kuromiya, just contacted me.>

Really?

<Yes, and...>

<Apparently, the idol group that was supposed to appear on one of his other shows had to cancel all of a sudden...>

<So, MORE MORE JUMP! is being asked to fill in for them.>

Huh...?

Wait...

We get to be on TV again?!

<Yes, but it's a tight schedule.

The shoot for it is the day after tomorrow... How do you all feel about this?>

<You currently have nothing going on that day, but I felt that I should ask just in case.>

The day after tomorrow...

That's when the landlady's going to interview us.

As important as that interview is, we shouldn't let a chance like this slip by...

I agree. And since it's one of Mr. Kuromiya's shows, it's probably going to air for one of the big networks... This is a huge opportunity for us to raise our name recognition.

B-By the way, did you hear when it might end?!

<Let's see... It's scheduled to end at three.>

Oh, that works out really well since our interview is at eight.

Yeah, we'd have five hours to pack up and move! That should be more than enough time!

Then, would you mind accepting this offer on our behalf?

<Understood!

Also, are you all free after this?>

Yes, we're free.

We were actually just about to head home...

<Perfect!

The thing is, the station would like to have a meeting with you right now if possible.>

<They don't seem set on it if it's too much trouble, but would you be willing to make a quick detour...?>

Of course!

If the shoot's the day after tomorrow, we should sit down and meet with them as soon as we can.

<Wonderful!

Then, I'll let the station know that you'll be dropping by soon. In the meantime, please start heading over.>

Roger!

Thank you so much, Saito!

We'll see you later.

<That's awesome.

You really get to be on TV again?>

I know, right?

We really can't thank Mr. Kuromiya enough. First, we got to go on iHaz, and now this.

<But you all should hurry.

I'm sure the producer's eagerly awaiting your arrival.>

<Then, we should head back to SEKAI.

Tell us how things go later, okay?>

Okay!

We'll talk again soon!

Alright, we should get going.

See you all later.

<Bye bye!>

Huff... Huff...

I thought it was pretty close by...

But getting here took longer than I was expecting! I hope we're not making Mr. Kuromiya wait on us!

I mean, none of us knew they were doing all that road construction...

Anyway, we gotta hurry!

We just got a message saying that he'll be waiting for us at seven in the meeting room.

Seven...? Wait, that's in five minutes!

Once the light turns green, we should bolt and...

Ah!

Huh...?

A-Are you okay?

Oh, pardon me...

This is so embarrassing. I think I just broke a heel...

Can you stand?

Here, take my hand.

Thank you.

You're so sweet.

...!

...!

Is your foot hurt? Maybe your ankle?

Yes, I believe so...

I may've twisted it a little just now.

We should find a place where you can rest. Are there any benches or...

No, no, I'll be fine.

I appreciate the concern, but I should be able to make it to my destination. It's actually just right there.

B-But...

Then, I'll help you get there!

What...?

You guys go on ahead without me, okay?

I'll be right behind you!

Okay.

We'll let Mr. Kuromiya know that you're helping her.

Thanks!

See you in a bit!

I'm so sorry...

You and your friends also seemed to be in a hurry.

No, that's totally okay since they agreed to go on ahead without me!

Anyway, where were you headed?

My hope is that you'll get a chance to rest there and...

Oh, actually, it's right there.

Where...?

Wait, the TV station?

Yes...

I'm here to see the shoot for a talk show.

But it'll be starting soon. Whatever shall I do...?

(She's going to be a part of the studio audience...?)

(But they probably won't let her in once the cameras start rolling. She seems so excited about it. I don't want her to miss out...)

Please let me carry you on my back!

What?

We'll be able to move faster, and you might just make it in time to see that shoot!

You sounded really excited about it, so I don't want you to miss it!

Thank you, Minori...

I really appreciate you being so kind.

Again, it's okay!

We were also just headed there anyway!

Okay, please hang on tight...!

Hm?

(Wait a second...

When did I tell her my name?)
