“I can't be there, but I hope you all enjoy the segment I came up with.”
...is what Haruka said in her message♪
Which is why we're going to do our best to make the segment she thought for us a good one! Like she's looking over our shoulder!
I get what you're trying to say, but that last part sounded a bit creepy...
<What kind of segment?>
<I can't wait!>
<Looking over your shoulder?>
Anyway, let's get started!
The segment Haruka came up with is called the...
“Fast Forward Dance Battle!”
Yay♪
As the title of this segment suggests, we'll be holding a contest to see who can perform a dance at different speeds with the most precision.
We've prepared four levels of difficulty. Easy, hard, expert and master.
Easy will be only a little bit faster.
Hard is where things become challenging.
Oh, cool! This sounds more like a fun game than a battle!
Haruka even left us a small piece of advice.
“We're all used to dancing to this song, but everything will quickly fall apart if you don't stay sharp with each move.”
I see.
Then, let's practice a bit on easy mode first!
Okay!
This isn't so bad!
Yeah, I'm doing just fine!
Yes, me too!
Next, we'll try hard mode!
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
This is a little fast, but I'm still doing okay!
Yeah, we're all doing great!
Next, we'll try expert!
Hey-hey-hey-hey, hey-hey-hey-hey!
Hey-hey-hey-hey, hey-hey-hey-heeey!
Hey-hey-hey-hey, hey-hey-hey-hey!
Huff... Huff...
I was barely able to keep up. Anyway, next is master...
W-Wait, what...?!
You're kidding, right, Haruka?!
Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-heeey!
Wow, Minori, you're doing... No, hang on. Only your mouth is moving. How are you doing, Shizuku...?
Huh...? No, wait... Uhh... Now...?!
A-Airi, what do I do...?!
I don't even know when to start.
I don't know either!
Haruka got us good...
But we're not about to give up! Again!
Right!
Okay!
Huff... Huff...
How'd I do...? I feel like I got it right...!
That was amazing, Airi!
I can't believe you managed to do it on master!
Yes, that was incredible!
I had trouble just figuring out the timing for it.
Huff... Huff...
Can't talk... Out of breath... Close it out for me...
Okay, got it!
I hope you all enjoyed today's stream.
<It was awesome from start to finish!>
<Today's MVP is Airi.>
<You were amazing, Airi!>
<That was the hardest I ever laughed.>
<That was fun! Even though Haruka wasn't here, you all made sure to keep mentioning her!>
(Oh, this person must be one of her fans. I'm glad to see that they enjoyed everything.)
Good work, Airi.
Here, have some water.
Thanks, Shizuku.
Our stream went really well considering it was just the three of us.
Yeah! And everyone commenting said they had a lot of fun!
This is all because of the suggestion you made that time, Shizuku! I'm so glad you said that we should use Haruka's idea!
<Wait, you want to use my idea...?>
<Yes. By using your idea for our stream, even though you'll be absent, it'll still feel like you're an active participant.>
<We'll also make sure to mention you as we talk throughout the segment to make sure your fans stay entertained.>
That really was a nice idea.
It's also a clue as to how we can put on fun streams moving forward when we're not all present.
Thank you. But I believe you were the reason why our stream went so well today, Airi.
You know it! Gimme all the praise you've got!
Haha!
Hehe.
