Oh! MEIKO, KAITO, hello.
Welcome, Haruka♪
You look like you're in a good mood.
Did something nice happen?
Yes, actually. We got a job request in for the first time in a while. It's just for a local radio station, though.
Are you thinking you'll take it?
Yes. We'll have a proper meeting with the client soon, so we'll respond officially then.
It sounds like they reached out to us after seeing Shizuku's commercial, so I want to be sure to deliver what they're looking for.
I hope this leads to a lot more work coming your way!
Me too.
I don't want to make my mom and dad worry, after all...
Your parents?
Oh, I'm sorry.
The thing is, whenever we appear on TV, I ask my parents to be sure to record it.
With no requests coming in, I haven't had anything to ask them to record for us...
They've noticed, of course, and they seem a little concerned.
If I told them the truth, that we're not getting any work at all, I know they would be worried for us.
So I've just said we're focusing on streaming and finding our future direction right now.
I see...
(I haven't lied to my parents. Not really.
We just wrapped up the “MORE MORE WEEK” plan of streaming every day for a week in a row, after all.)
(But I can't play the current situation off forever.)
(I just hope we get more offers in like this radio job, so I don't have to anymore...)
Huh?
That light just now...
That looked like feeling sparks.
I think you're right about that. Look, see there...
You're right.
It must be a fragment of a feeling.
This glass shard is a fragment of a feeling? But the one I saw before was round...
Yes, they're meant to be round. So this is more like a... A shard of a feeling, I suppose?
Still, something feels strange about this. Suddenly glowing like that... It's like it wanted us to find it.
...
When you touch a fragment of a feeling, you can find out what emotion gave birth to it, right?
If I touch it, maybe we'll learn more.
You mean to enter its SEKAI, then?
Yes. Like KAITO said, I feel like it's not a coincidence we found it...
Okay then! In that case, we'll come with you♪
MEIKO, KAITO, thank you both!
Okay, here we go.
So this is the SEKAI of that shard of a feeling?
It's so misty, I can't see very much... But there's greenery here. It seems like a nice place.
Right.
Hm?
Aah! Th-There's someone there!
...!
Huh? This girl reminds me of Haruka...
She's... Me, when I was little...?
Good for you.
You didn't make Mommy and Daddy sad this time.
...!
Haruka?
But we will make them sad again, for sure.
As long as I'm an idol...
That's not...
If you really love Mommy and Daddy...
Then you should quit being an idol forever.
Wait!
Ah!
I-I can't see!
Haruka?!
Thank goodness! Haruka, are you o...
Wait... Something feels different.
Where did she go? The little me...
Huh? Why am I over there?
Wait, are you Haruka?!
Yes, that's right...
Haruka and Haruka swapped bodies?!
