*Sigh*

Okay, this idea looks good to go!

I really didn't expect it to come together so smoothly. I wouldn't have set aside the whole of the day after tomorrow if I knew that it would.

But I shouldn't speak for Shizuku and the others...

Haruka in particular likes to draft up detailed plans, which obviously takes time.

Still, there's plenty I can do. I could study or just take that time to relax.

Above all else, it's my chance to fulfill my promise.

Mizuki, over here!

Morning, Airi!

Thanks for inviting me out today!

Of course. Thanks for coming!

Hehe. And you're here right on time, unlike a certain other sleepyhead.

Haha. I woke up at seven this morning because I was so excited! I could've gone to school on time for a change.

I'm glad you were looking forward to this so much. So, let's have as much fun as we can today!

Yeah!

Hey, I didn't know this shop had all these cute sneakers!

Yeah... Oh, how about these black ones?

These pink streaks seem like a nice touch.

Yeah! And they aren't clunky or anything, so you could totally wear the with like a skirt.

Mmm! This crepe's amazing! It's so buttery and sugary!

I know, right?!

I couldn't believe it either when I tried it the other day!

Yeah, I know what you mean!

*Sigh*

I can feel this buttery aroma and sugary sensation expanding throughout my mouth...!

Yeah, like it's being filled with pure happiness.

That was a nice, little shopping spree!

Thanks for showing me around, Mizuki.

No, I should be thanking you for helping me pick out that outfit♪

You're so good at using accent colors and finding a nice balance, Airi!

Hehe. As an idol, I need to have an eye for these things. I read a lot of fashion magazines to gain all of that knowledge.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense!

Also, you really know how to find the best deals.

We just saw a similar outfit at a shop on Main Street, but you made sure to keep looking around since you knew there was a similar shop here too!

I mean, I like to see what all my options are if I'm set on getting something.

As a result, I was able to get this outfit at a more reasonable price compared to that other shop.

That's so smart!

I probably would've gotten the other one without a second thought!

I don't think there's anything wrong with that since it's sort of like love at first sight, right?

Oh, also... We've done a lot of walking without taking any breaks. Do you feel tired at all?

I'm fine. These shoes I'm wearing are really comfy, and we had a quick break when we got those crepes.

That's good to hear...

I was having so much fun going to all those shops that I forgot to ask.

No, it's been so long since I last visited so many shops all at once. Ena always wants to take a break after going to a couple.

On the flip side, she knows where all these great cafes are, so I get to see a lot of new things.

Hehe. Whenever I go shopping with Shizuku, I always have to make sure she doesn't wander off and get lost.

But we do sometimes get lucky by stumbling across new shops wherever she ends up. So everything works out in the end.

Haha! I love how shopping trips can feel so different depending on who you go with.

And I'm really glad that we got to do this today, Airi!

Me too!

Now, if you've still got some gas left in the tank, wanna check out some of the shops on the other side of the station?

Yeah, let's go!

I've still got plenty of time left to hang out!

Then, shall we?

Yeah!
