We promise to cheer for you like there's no tomorrow!
I know you're nervous, Minori, but please try to enjoy your very first solo show.
R-Right!
I really appreciate it, KAITO!
I'm gonna do the best I can!
I really wanna make the most of my first solo show since I only get one chance to perform in it!
I suppose it's only natural to feel nervous before your first solo show...
Yeah. But I think what KAITO and the others said helped her with that a little...
Yeah, more than a little.
But the rest is up to Minori herself.
(Considering how much she had to overcome to get here, I'm sure she'll do just fine...)
In any case, we should keep an eye on her and come up with a plan for when she's not feeling too great.
One, two, three, four!
Minori seems to be moving even better than yesterday.
Yeah, she is...
Alright...
That's enough for stretches...
(We didn't get much time to practice today since we all had to deal with committee stuff...)
(But I think that allowed us to focus more on the task at hand.)
(And even though Minori looked like a nervous wreck yesterday, she moved today like none of that was bothering her anymore.)
Huh...?
A message?
<I know it's late and I'm really sorry, Airi, but there's something I really need to ask you...!>
<Before practice tomorrow, can we do some special training in secret together like we did during our training camp?>
Is she talking about...?
(Based on what I saw today, she seemed to be doing everything that I told her...)
(But I guess she's still pretty concerned...)
(We don't have much time left until our show, so I am a little worried about her.)
<Yeah, of course.>
Hm?
Oh, Airi, Minori, hello.
Hello, KAITO, MEIKO!
You're both here awfully early.
I thought you weren't going to practice until much later...
Minori asked me to hold a special practice session with her!
A special...
Practice session?
Hang on. That sounds like...
Like what they did during their training camp♪
This sounds like fun.
Would you mind if we join in as well?
Y-You want to join us?
Yes, please!!
Wonderful! What do you need us to do?
In that case, would you mind being the audience for us?
I'd like you to see if Minori's performance is able to reach the people all the way in the back.
Sounds good! That sounds like fun!
Alright, we'll head to the seats.
Give us the signal when you're ready.
Thanks, will do!
Now, we need to get ready.
Right! I promise to do my best!
(Hmm... She doesn't seem nervous right now per se...)
By the way, Minori...
Do you know if that one fan of yours is gonna be helping with our show?
Oh, Yuina?
She said she's gonna come see us as a fan this time.
Ah, I see.
(I've sorta only been looking at the messages Saito's been sending us regarding our show... I really wish I had the time to look at fan mail.)
Oh, Hasegawa's gonna be there too!
She sent an email saying that she received our invitation!
Yeah, we'll need to do our best to make her song shine!
(Hmm... She really doesn't seem that worried or nervous...)
Oh, what about the invitations for your parents? Have you had a chance to give them theirs...?
Of course! My little brother can't make it because he already has other commitments but my parents said they could!
That's great! This is gonna be your chance to really dazzle them with your cuteness!
Yeah! Hehe. They probably won't know what to do with themselves when they see me performing like a real idol!
Haha! What do you mean “like”? You are a real idol!
(Where's that nervous wreck I saw the other day? Well, she seems to be in a good place mentally, so I guess I should just let sleeping dogs lie.)
Girls! Does here work?!
Yeah! Perfect!
Alright, Minori!
They're all set! How about you?
I'm ready whenever!
Okay, let's start our special training session!
