Okay, that should be enough practice for today.

2
Character icon
Minori

Yeah! Great work everyone!

3
Character icon
Minori

I'm gonna head home now!

4
Character icon
Haruka

Stay safe.

5
Character icon
Airi

Minori's really been putting everything into it lately.

6
Character icon
Shizuku

She has, but I hope she isn't pushing herself too hard.

7
Character icon
Airi

Yeah, I'm a little worried about that too...

8
Character icon
Airi

But she's been singing and dancing really well, so I feel like we should let her be for now.

9
Character icon
Haruka

I'm sure she'll be fine...

10
Character icon
Haruka

She even asked me the other day to believe in her...

11
Character icon
Haruka

So I feel like I should honor her request.

12
Character icon
Airi

Believe in her, huh?

13
Character icon
Haruka

By the way, are you two free after this?

14
Character icon
Shizuku

Yes, I have some time.

15
Character icon
Airi

Same here, as long as I'm not out too late...

16
Character icon
Haruka

In that case, how does a little shopping sound? I'd like to look for a few things that might help Minori stay in good shape.

17
Character icon
Shizuku

Things for staying in good shape?

18
Character icon
Haruka

Yes. For example, an icy spray that helps prevent muscle aches after you do a hard workout...

19
Character icon
Shizuku

I see. That sounds much more serious than what I had in mind.

20
Character icon
Haruka

Right, okay...

That might've been a bad example...

21
Character icon
Airi

Sometimes you sound more like an athlete than an idol, Haruka.

22
Character icon
Haruka

Haha. I did play basketball for a while too...

23
Character icon
Haruka

But I'm glad I asked. This is why I'd like some help with finding something for Minori.

24
Character icon
Shizuku

Hehe. Of course we'll help.

It's for Minori's sake, after all.

25
Character icon
Airi

But you're gonna have a lot to choose from...

26
Character icon
Haruka

Right. Maybe something that can help her relax might work since I feel like she's always pushing herself so hard...?

27
Character icon
Airi

Yeah... Then how about some bath salts?

28
Character icon
Airi

Their color and fragrance alone have a great relaxing effect. I'm sure she'll feel a lot better even after a quick dip!

29
Character icon
Haruka

I see.

30
Character icon
Shizuku

Or maybe even a CD with some relaxing sounds or music...?

31
Character icon
Shizuku

The ones with birds chirping or babbling brooks are much less expensive than regular CDs, so you could get her quite a few.

32
Character icon
Haruka

That also sounds nice. A good night's rest would go a long way for Minori too.

33
Character icon
Airi

Alright, it sounds like we have a plan!

Let's get going, shall we?

34
Character icon
Haruka

Let's!

The next day
35
Character icon
Minori

Oh, everyone else is already here.

Good morning...!

36
Character icon
Haruka

Good morning, Minori.

Do you have some time before we start?

37
Character icon
Airi

We thought you deserved a little reward for all your hard work lately so... Here!

38
Character icon
Minori

Oh...! Floral bath salts!

It's so cute too!

39
Character icon
Airi

It'll definitely help your mind and body relax more too!

40
Character icon
Airi

A nice bath with this is the best cure for a hard day's work!

41
Character icon
Shizuku

And my gift is this...

A relaxing CD featuring the sounds of little birds chirping. I'm sure it'll help you get a good night's rest.

42
Character icon
Minori

Oh, wow...! Thank you so much, Shizuku!

43
Character icon
Haruka

And last but not least, me...

I had Airi and Shizuku help me pick this one out.

44
Character icon
Minori

A heated eye pillow...?

With a penguin design!

45
Character icon
Haruka

Hehe. There's even a little pocket that lets you put in aroma packets to help you relax even more.

46
Character icon
Haruka

It's the same as the one I use at home, but in a different color. They work quite well.

47
Character icon
Minori

Huh?! That means... Mine matches yours?!

48
Character icon
Haruka

It does. Also, as much as I like penguins, I was sort of worried about getting you the same thing...

49
Character icon
Minori

No, I'm happy you did!

Thanks, Haruka!

50
Character icon
Minori

And thank you again, Airi, Shizuku!

I'm so... So happy that...!

51
Character icon
Airi

Oh, you big baby!

You don't need to exaggerate.

52
Character icon
Minori

B-But...!

Your gifts are so thoughtful...

53
Character icon
Haruka

Minori...

54
Character icon
Haruka

And we're going to believe in you just like you asked too.

55
Character icon
Haruka

So let's make sure our show becomes a big success!

56
Character icon
Minori

Haruka...!

57
Character icon
Airi

Alright, let's give it everything we've got today too!

58
Character icon
Minori & Haruka & Shizuku

Yeah!
