“♪————~~~~~!”

“Wow... That's amazing...!”

“You two are completely different in terms of styles, but both your performances were so powerful. I was really moved by them...!”

“I didn't realize music could be so free and fun...!”

“Then, why don't we sing together?”

“I'd like to sing that song I taught you the other day.”

“Okay...!”

“♪——————!”

This is awesome! You looked like you were having so much fun that I almost started singing with you♪

Yeah! You did a really good job of singing while staying in character, like Kusanagi said!

Really?!

What did you think, Kusanagi?

Yeah, you've both improved quite a lot. I could really sense what your characters were feeling!

Thank goodness...!

That means all our hard work is starting to pay off!

Yeah! Alright, can we go through that part one more time while the feeling's still fresh?

As much as I'd like to, I'm pretty sure we have...

Hey, can someone let me in?

Oh, right on cue!

Be right there!

Thanks for getting the door for me!

All our hands are completely full right now.

Hey, those look pretty heavy.

Why don't you all set everything down over there?

Thank you, Airi.

We can set our things down here, everyone.

Okay!

Wh-Whoa! Airi's really here...!

Yeah! Getting to design costumes with Shizuku has been amazing, but to think that Airi's gonna wear what we make!

We get to talk about this for the rest of our lives!

They really love you, Airi.

Right? I'm an idol, after all, and a good one.

Haha! Truth is, I'm also really looking forward to seeing you in the costumes we made♪

Then, what's the holdup? Show us what you got already.

Slow down! Since we're all here, we wanna take this chance to make some fit adjustments and stuff.

Mind if we get started, Kusanagi?

No, go right ahead.

Then, we'll call you up using your character names. Please come over here when we do.

Starting with the Butler and house staff, and the tutor!

Hm? That's me.

As the director, I should probably sit in.

It's just a few of us at a time...

We might be waiting around for a while.

Yeah, I wish we could use this time more productively...

I know! While we wait, why don't we have them show us the key points of our costumes?

I think it's important to know the specific characteristics of our costumes and what feelings they put into them, to make sure we can shine on stage together.

Actually, on second thought, the idol in me might be focusing too much on the little details.

No, I agree with you!

That stuff is really important in our shows, too!

Yes, I agree as well.

So... I'm sure your mental images of your characters have developed as you've been practicing.

Putting on a costume can make those mental images more vivid, but knowing how it was made can help make them more concrete and specific.

In other words...

It's okay for us to tell you guys all about our design processes?!

Hehe. A lot of you seem like you can'twait to, so by all means!

Yes! Alright, let's get all the costumes out♪

Mizuki! Mizuki! Show me the one I'm gonna wear!

Sure thing♪

In that case, why don't I tell you about all the work I put into the embroidery?

Oh, I'd really like to hear that!

M-Me too...!

Me too!

Then, within reason, let's ask the costume designers all about their creations while we wait!

Okay!

Okay♪
