...so a lot of things happened after that!

Yes, I see...

So, did that lady make it in time for the shoot?

Yeah! I told the receptionist what was going on, and they said they'd show her in from there! So, I'm sure everything worked out!

Okay, that's good to hear...

Still, talk about a busy day...

On top of going house hunting, you saved that old lady and had a meeting afterwards. I'm sure you're all tired...

Oh, how did that meeting go?

Can you tell us what this show you're gonna be on is like?!

Hehe. That's why we're here!

It's a late night talk show in the eleven o'clock slot. It's hosted by a famous comedian and they have a different set of guests on each week...

Which is where we come in.

That means you'll be joined by other guests. Do you already know who they are?

A model named Yuika and an influencer named MYU!

Not only are they both pretty famous, but the comedian hosting this show, Mr. Arimura, is one of the biggest names in the business. I'm getting nervous just thinking about that.

He's that famous...?!

It's incredible that you get to work alongside such celebrities.

Isn't this the most high-profile offer MORE MORE JUMP! has ever received?

Yeah. The studio's so big that there's even room for a live audience.

This is the first time we'll have an audience watching as we do a shoot!

I'm so excited♪ What do you think that's gonna be like...?

I get your excitement, but we've still gotta come up with a good talk segment.

A talk segment?

A part of the show involves segments that the guests come up with themselves.

Some past examples include making hamburgers with your favorite ingredients and trying to win 10,000 yen from the lottery.

I see. And now you have to come up with one for yourselves...

That sounds both fun and difficult at the same time.

Unlike your usual streams, the viewers of this show won't all necessarily know who you are. That means your segment needs to appeal to a wider audience.

Exactly. We have a lot to do in a short amount of time, but I'm sure we'll be able to figure something out by working together...!

Also, we need to stay sharp since we have that interview afterwards to see if we can turn that place into the MORE MORE HOUSE.

O-Oh, right...

You're super busy all of a sudden...

Please try to be mindful of your health.

Thanks, Len!

We promise to be extra careful!

Hehe. We'll be rooting for you.

And I can't wait to see this show.

Alright, let's have our resident fashionista give her verdict!

Who's more fashionable...?

It is Airi, or is it Minori?

Personally, I don't think “cute” is the right word for what I'm seeing... I'd have to go with “interesting”...

Th-Th-Th-This was my attempt at a street look since I don't often wear these kinds of clothes!

This cap with a bandana tied around it is one of its biggest selling points.

W-Wait just right there!

No one said anything about us giving presentations on our outfits!

And I've got plenty to say!

Check out the king crabs on these socks! Talk about a cute touch! Aren't they adorable...?!

I-If we're gonna talk about nice touches, you should see the design on the shirt I'm wearing underneath!

No, that's not fair since we can't see it right now. Also, not being able to come up with the word “undershirt” makes you sound like a fashion novice.

(Even though it's her first time on this kind of variety show, Minori's doing an incredible job.)

(She says funny things without having to think about it, which really helps with these kinds of shows. I'm actually a little jealous...)

Y-Yes, I'm a novice when it comes to fashion, but I took a stab at trying something new! My socks are each a different color and...

Again, no presenting! How long do you plan on yammering on?!

(Airi's also doing well with her quips.)

(But Airi would never wear this sort of outfit. I guess she went with it for the sake of the show...)

(And the audience seems to be enjoying everything... We should be fine as long as we can keep this up.)

And the winner of Yuika's Idol Fashion Check is... Minori! Congratulations!

Choosing an outfit that uses five different types of fabrics was pretty interesting, and your presentation was fun to see.

Woohoo!

Thank you very much!

Grr... But my ocean-themed outfit...

I worked so hard to find clothes with crabs, crayfish and hermit crabs on them...!

I honestly thought it was a coin toss in the end, but it's also clear that Yuika knows her stuff when it comes to fashion!

Anyway, that concludes her segment!

And thank you both for participating, Airi, Minori.

Thank you very much!

Thank you all very much!

We'll be taking a short break here!

We'll resume in twenty minutes.

Any members of the audience that need to use the facilities should do so now.

Nice work back there.

That segment Yuika came up with ended up being a lot of fun.

You made all those great quips, Airi, and I really liked the outfit you picked out, Minori.

Hehe. I sorta jumped when I heard that my opponent would be Airi, but I'm so glad I ended up winning!

Wait, does this mean I have talent?

Am I really a fashionable person?!

If that's your takeaway, I'm extremely jealous of how happy-go-lucky you are...

Still, we did our segment right at the beginning, and it went well. All we have left is MYU's segment. We'll be done after that...

Yeah, but we don't have any breaks left, so we need to stay sharp until the end.

Oh, I should go to the restroom while I can!

It should be somewhere over on the left after you exit the studio. Just be careful not to get lost on your way back.

Okay, be right back!

Phew... Thank goodness!

I managed to find my way back!

I thought I was gonna get lost since the hallways in these kinds of TV stations all look the same...

<Hi, Minori!

Your shoot's been going really well!>

Hi, Miku!

Were you watching?

<Yes, we've all been watching from inside your pocket!>

<That fashion check segment was really good! I'd love to see it again after it airs.>

You liked it that much...?!

Hehe. I really appreciate you saying that since I also had a lot of fun!

<The audience also seemed to enjoy everything. They were laughing and applauding the whole time...!>

Yeah, I'm also glad they're having such a fun time! Getting direct feedback like this has been really great, so I wanna keep doing my best after our break and...

So, where'd the original guests go?

Why is MORE MORE JUMP! or whoever here instead?

Huh...?

I was really looking forward to seeing LiLia here today. I mean, that's why I applied to be a member of the audience.

Oh, they're overseas right now.

Apparently, they're having trouble flying back due to bad weather.

Wow, really?

So that's how those other girls ended up taking their place?

I mean, these things happen.

And MORE MORE JUMP! is trying their best...

But I still wish LiLia were here.

...

<Minori...>

Right...

That's understandable. They applied to be a part of the audience because they wanted to see a specific group...

I mean, I'd be disappointed too if I were put in the same situation.

<I mean... Yes, that is understandable...>

We were sure that we could make today's shoot fun for everyone by doing what we always do...

But we really should've thought more about how we're replacing someone else...

<...>

Minori? Is that you?

Huh...?

Hello.

It's good to see you again.

You're that lady from the other day...!
