Airi

Okay...

I'm making good progress.

2
Character icon
Airi

This was definitely the right way to go! The ideas everyone came up with are fitting in perfectly too.

3
Character icon
Airi

All that time I spent on variety shows meant for kids is really paying off. Morning Kids Station probably taught me the most about that world.

4
Character icon
Airi

...

5
Character icon
Airi

Everything I did, everything I went through... None of it was a waste.

6
Character icon
Airi

Alright...!

Let's keep this up!! Here comes Lovely Airi!!

The next day
Miyamasuzaka Girls Academy - Rooftop

Character icon
Airi

I compiled everything we talked about yesterday into one file, so if you don't mind taking a look...

8
Character icon
Minori

Okay!

9
Character icon
Minori

Whoa... This is so easy to follow!

10
Character icon
Haruka

You did this all in one night? The formatting looks so professional...

11
Character icon
Shizuku

Hehe. You never cease to amaze us, Airi.

12
Character icon
Airi

Shizuku, stop staring at me and look at the doc I just gave you.

13
Character icon
Airi

Anyway, I've divided this event into three major parts...!

14
Character icon
Airi

The first involves Minori's idea: “Let's Make A Yearbook!”

15
Character icon
Minori

Yay! We get to use my idea!

16
Character icon
Shizuku

Good for you, Minori.

17
Character icon
Airi

Hey, focus! Check the fine print...!

18
Character icon
Airi

We're gonna need each student to send us their favorite picture from their time at this school, which we'll use to put together a special yearbook.

19
Character icon
Airi

We'll take a group picture with everybody and throw it in at the very end!

20
Character icon
Shizuku

That sounds lovely♪

21
Character icon
Haruka

Okay, that sounds good.

Do you have a budget worked out for this? Like you said, making physical yearbooks won't be cheap.

22
Character icon
Airi

We'll have to discuss that with the school, but I was thinking about making it a digital yearbook. That way, we can cut costs dramatically.

23
Character icon
Haruka

I see...

That definitely would be more affordable.

24
Character icon
Shizuku

But if we do have the budget to publish them, why not have one printed just for the principal...?

25
Character icon
Shizuku

Since the students will receive their diplomas from the principal, they could give back by handing the principal this, no?

26
Character icon
Airi

That's a great idea, Shizuku!

I love it!

27
Character icon
Minori

Yeah!

I have to think that the principal would love it too! I'd probably cry if my students did that for me...!

28
Character icon
Airi

Okay, let's see what the school thinks!

29
Character icon
Airi

Now, our next segment is... “Let's Play With MORE MORE JUMP!”

30
Character icon
Airi

We'll split up into four teams, one for each of us, and play games and stuff...

31
Character icon
Minori

Oh, that sounds fun!

32
Character icon
Haruka

The games I have in mind are in this doc, but they include tag, a true or false quiz and...

33
Character icon
Airi

Since we'll be limited on time, I want to have games that everyone knows, ones that are simple, easy to learn and easy to tweak.

34
Character icon
Shizuku

Oh, like giving someone more points for catching a sixth-grader during tag...?

35
Character icon
Minori

The quiz could include questions that have to do with the school too! The more you know about it, the better!

36
Character icon
Airi

Yeah, wouldn't it be a great opportunity for us to learn all about a school we've never been to before?

37
Character icon
Haruka

I see. Not only that, the students that like to learn will do well during the quiz, while the more athletic students can have fun during tag.

38
Character icon
Airi

Exactly. Remember how you wanted everyone to have fun during the Sports Festival, Haruka? I want to do the same for these kids and their school.

39
Character icon
Airi

And last but not least, we'll have our finale: “It's Showtime!”

The kids will all get a chance to have fun while they watch our performance!

40
Character icon
Haruka

Right, this is good.

I'm sure everyone else will like it too.

41
Character icon
Minori

You're so amazing, Ms. Airi!

I still can't believe you came up with this in one night...!

42
Character icon
Airi

Huh? Ms. Airi?

43
Character icon
Shizuku

But you really are amazing, Airi, and we genuinely believe that.

44
Character icon
Airi

You're both exaggerating.

These ideas are all based on your guys' ideas anyway.

45
Character icon
Haruka

No, that's not the whole story.

You clearly made sure to consider how the students would feel about each of these activities.

46
Character icon
Haruka

I think you were able to polish it up this much because you truly care about our fans, Airi.

47
Character icon
Airi

Y-You... Think so?

48
Character icon
Minori

Of course! There's so much that I can still learn from you, Airi!

49
Character icon
Airi

Again, you're exaggerating...

50
Character icon
Airi

Still, I appreciate it. Also, how would you guys feel about seeing what Miku and the others think about this?

51
Character icon
Haruka

Sure, why not?

They might even give us ideas that we never would've thought of.

52
Character icon
Shizuku

Shall we head over then?

53
Character icon
Minori

Yeah!!

Stage SEKAI
54
Character icon
Airi

Alright, we're here.

Oh, there aren't any shows happening right now. I wonder where Miku and the others are...

55
Character icon
???

No, it'll look cuter if we jump out from the center of the stage!

56
Character icon
???

I'm not saying that your idea is bad or anything, but I just think it'd be better for us to start from the sides and join in the middle.

57
Character icon
Shizuku

Hm? There's a boy here...?

58
Character icon
Minori

Wait, could it be...?!

59
Character icon
Haruka

I think they're over there somewhere. Let's go take a look.

60
Character icon
Len

We'll run up from the sides while high-fiving everyone, meet in the middle and finish in this pose.

61
Character icon
Len

Wouldn't it look a lot cooler if we did that? In a way, we'd be reuniting.

62
Character icon
Rin

Grrr... It makes too much sense...!

63
Character icon
Minori

Aha! I knew it! It's Len!!

Rin's here too! Hi!

64
Character icon
Rin

Oh, Minori!

Welcome!

65
Character icon
Len

Minori...?

That means you're the girls who made this SEKAI. Rin's told me all about you.

66
Character icon
Len

It's nice to finally meet you. My name is Kagamine Len, and I'm looking forward to working with you.

67
Character icon
Minori

H-His idol aura is so strong...!

68
Character icon
Shizuku

He has such a sparkling smile too. He's just like a knight in shining armor on his valiant steed.

69
Character icon
Haruka

I'm not sure about the steed part, but I'm sure he works hard every day to maintain his image as an idol.

70
Character icon
Minori

Every day... He seems so amazing already...!

71
Character icon
Airi

Nice to meet you, Len!

By the way, what were you guys doing just now?

72
Character icon
Len

Oh, Rin and I are gonna put on a show, and were just going over what we'll be doing.

73
Character icon
Haruka

You're doing a show together?

74
Character icon
Shizuku

A show with the two of you sounds like so much fun.

75
Character icon
Rin

We're still figuring out what to do about our setlist and choreography, so I need to keep coming up with more ideas!

76
Character icon
Minori

Oh, if you need ideas, we can come up with some!

77
Character icon
Haruka

Right.

If you like, we'd be more than happy to help.

78
Character icon
Len

Really?

That'd be a huge help.

79
Character icon
Airi

You got it!

Haruka's a pro when it comes to direction and choreography, and Shizuku has a knack for knowing how to strike the perfect pose...

80
Character icon
Airi

Minori has a talent for knowing what the fans want to see too, so I'm sure we'll be able to come up with some good stuff!

81
Character icon
Rin

It's like you each have your own specializations♪

82
Character icon
Len

That's pretty cool.

Oh, Airi, what are you good at?

83
Character icon
Airi

Me?

84
Character icon
Airi

What am I good at...?

Compared to others, I'm...

85
Character icon
Airi

Better at being the MC than most?

I think I just like making everyone smile by chatting with them.

86
Character icon
Haruka

That is true. Airi really knows how to manage a crowd and create a good mood for them.

87
Character icon
Len

Cool. If we have any questions about MCing, we'll ask you, Airi.

88
Character icon
Airi

Sure! Anytime!

89
Character icon
Minori

Airi's also really really good at organizing events and coming up with ideas for them...! Wait, no...!

90
Character icon
Minori

I almost forgot! We came here to ask you guys about this elementary school event we'll be doing!

91
Character icon
Haruka

Oh, that's right.

We'd like to ask you two about it once we're done discussing your event...

92
Character icon
Len

You're doing an event too?

93
Character icon
Airi

Yeah. We've been asked to participate in an event an elementary school will be hosting. We have a summary of what we'll be doing and wanted you guys to see it too.

94
Character icon
Shizuku

But would it be too much for you two since you're busy with your own event?

95
Character icon
Len

No, don't worry about that.

I'm sure both our events will go better if we all work together on them.

96
Character icon
Rin

Yeah! I wanna help too♪

97
Character icon
Rin

But you said it's gonna be at an elementary school. How does that work?

98
Character icon
Airi

Alright, then let's get right to it!

The school that contacted us about this is actually about to be closed down...

99
Character icon
Airi

Whew... We really chatted up a storm!

100
Character icon
Shizuku

But I'm glad that Rin and Len were able to give us so many new ideas.

101
Character icon
Minori

Yeah, asking them was a great idea!

102
Character icon
Haruka

Alright, I'll append the document Airi made to include the ideas Rin and Len gave us, and send it over to the school right away.

103
Character icon
Haruka

Hm? There's something here from them...

104
Character icon
Minori

There is?

105
Character icon
Haruka

Yes. They're thanking us for agreeing to participate in this event.

106
Character icon
Haruka

Oh... They even included some messages from the students.

107
Character icon
Airi

From the students?

What did they say?

108
Character icon
Haruka

<I can't wait to meet MMJ!>

<I can't believe THE Shizuku Hinomori is coming to our school!>

Hehe. They seem very excited.

109
Character icon
Minori

I-Is there anything about me...?

110
Character icon
Haruka

For you? Let's see...

111
Character icon
Minori

I guess I'm getting ahead of myself...

112
Character icon
Haruka

Oh, here's one.

<I can't wait to meet you, Minori!>

113
Character icon
Minori

R-Really?! I don't know what to say!

114
Character icon
Haruka

There are quite a few here for Airi too...

115
Character icon
Airi

For me?

Mind if I take a look?

116
Character icon
Haruka

Sure. It's all yours.

117
Character icon
Email

<To Airi!>

118
Character icon
Airi

(Hehe. They really went out of their way to write this for me. I couldn't be happier.)

119
Character icon
Airi

(Let's see what they said...)

120
Character icon
Airi

Oh...
