A taste test?

What exactly would you be doing?

We'd all make something, like cookies or cake, and try to guess which ones were made by who!

What?!

Can you really tell who made something just by tasting it?

I've never actually tried...

But I think we'll sort of be able to get a good idea, you know?

Yeah, it might not be as hard as it seems...

Really? I'm not sure I could...

You sure about that? I think it'd be pretty easy.

Just based on everyone's personalities... For example, Haruka would follow a recipe to a tee.

Minori would mix up salt with sugar or something, and you'd turn flan into some other kind of egg dish, Shizuku.

N-No, I wouldn't do that!

And flan turning into a different kind of egg dish wouldn't be so bad either!

But that's not really a good thing, right...?

I think it'll be fun because of how different your personalities are!

Hehe...

Oh, if you're all okay with cooking...

How about this...?

(Hehe. Looks like they're all having fun.)

(We've been having some trouble coming up with new ideas, but I'm glad we came to talk with Miku and the others today. We're finally getting some work done.)

(We should be able to have a few fully ready by the end of the day...)

(Good...)

...

Haruka, are you okay?

Are you feeling tired...?

Oh, sorry...

I stayed up a little too late last night is all...

I see...

You have been very busy lately...

Haha. Things sort of just piled up so...

...

Um, Haruka...

I may be in no position to say this but...

Huh?

I think you should take a little break.

If you don't find some time to relax, I'm afraid that your body won't be able to keep up.

Shizuku...

I may not be as good at it as you are, Haruka, but I'll keep trying to come up with new ideas as well...

I appreciate the concern.

I'm sorry for making you worry like that.

I don't have much homework to do now and we've come up with some good ideas today, so I think I'll be able to sleep well tonight.

I'll get that rest you were talking about, okay?

Are you sure...?

If you say so...

...

Haruka! Shizuku!

Oh, MEIKO!

Is something wrong?

I overheard some of what you were just saying. You're a really hard worker, aren't you, Haruka?

A hard worker...?

I don't think I'm doing that much...

Everyone else does what I'm doing, like practicing and coming up with new ideas for our streams...

Oh?

But Miku told me that you're always looking after everyone during practices and even get really good grades in school.

You're studious and help everyone out during practice. Your work ethic's so admirable...!

It is?

Miku and the others told you all this?

Hehe. I'm sure it was Minori who told them all about you, Haruka.

I see. That's a bit embarrassing...

No, don't be!

I think it's wonderful!

But are you leaving enough time for yourself? You do seem to be spending a lot of time working with everybody else...

Yes, I think so.

I also train and practice at home.

I kept forgetting to ask you about that. How much time do you spend each day?

How much...? Let me think...

Two or three hours each night?

Each night? That means mornings too...?

Yes, mornings too.

I wake up at six to train each morning.

But I've been doing that since I was still in ASRUN. It's sort of a daily routine for me, so I'm completely used to it now...

Wow, that's incredible...

You really are a hard worker!

It's nothing, really...

But resting is just as important as practicing, okay?

It's great that you're investing this much time into being an idol, but it's important to give yourself some time to relax too.

Give your mind and body a chance to get refreshed, you know♪

Okay...

I'll make sure to do that for our group's sake.
