The script says that we're going to introduce ourselves and give a brief overview of what happened during our solo show...

Then, we'll mention how our fans helped make our stage outfits...

I hope I'll be okay for that part...

(When I was still in Cheerful * Days, all I did was say what the scripts I was given told me to...)

(But I need to use my own words to tell the viewers what happened during this shoot.)

In particular, those who haven't seen our streams may still see me as the “perfect” Shizuku Hinomori from Cheerful * Days.

I hope I have time to touch on that a little when I introduce myself...

No, we've made our decision, so nothing will come of worrying like this.

I need to do what I can to tell everyone about MORE MORE JUMP!

(Also...)

(For the sake of Arisa and everyone else who will be appearing alongside us, I...)

Shizuku, the bath's ready. Do you want first dibs?

Oh, Shii.

Um... Why don't you go first?

Are you sure? Well, if you say so...

Were you going over the script just now...?

Yes, since our shoot is just around the corner.

Hmm... I see.

And I assume... Someone who you don't exactly see eye to eye with is also gonna be there?

What...?

Hehe. How did you know, Shii...?

I can't say much since it hasn't aired yet, but some people from Cheerful * Days are going to be there... People who I caused quite a bit of trouble.

For their sake, I was trying to motivate myself to absolutely make sure that our shoot goes well.

I see...

I'm not really in a position to really say anything, but I think you'll be fine. Besides, Momoi and the others are gonna be there with you too.

Oh, Shii, that's so sweet of you!

I feel much better already...!

Oh no...! Shii, why are you running away?

Because I don't want you invading my personal space.

But...

Don't give me that look.

Anyway, I'm gonna go take my bath...

Oh, Shii, wait.

No means no.

It's not that. Yes, it's unfortunate that you're not letting me hug you...

So, instead, I'd like to make a quick declaration of my intentions...

A declaration of your intentions?

Yes.

You mentioned how I'll be surrounded by friends during the day of...

But my goal is to do my best to stand under my own power.

They all did so much for me, so I'd like to give back to them somehow.

So, I'm going to do my best to make our appearance as entertaining as possible by telling my story using my own words.

Nice. I like that.

So, does that mean you have a plan ready?

Well...

I certainly feel ready to make what I said a reality.

That should be more than enough.

You seem to really want to do this and it's your decision, so I say go for it. Have confidence in yourself.

...!

Yes, you're right...!

Thank you, Shii.

You're welcome.

Anyway, I'm gonna go take my bath.

Thank you so much, Shii.

I promise to do my best while having confidence in my decision.
