(Once this song is over, it'll be our turn.)
(This is such an incredible atmosphere...)
(Come to think of it, Minori already seemed very nervous. I hope she's okay...)
(Hehe. Looks like Haruka helped calm her down.)
(How about Airi?)
(She seems so focused...)
Is something the matter, Shizuku?
Oh, so...
You just seemed to be focusing very hard just now...
I'm sorry if I interrupted you.
No, you weren't interrupting anything.
It's just...
I am feeling pretty stoked now.
The stage I've been wanting to perform on is right there. I can hear the audience and feel the electricity in the air...
Doesn't that make you want to go out there and knock their socks off? This tension in the air is what Idol Lovers is all about!
You coming over to talk to me has helped me relax, so all that's left is for me to go out there and show just how hard I've been training!
You really are incredible, Airi.
It also feels like it's been so long since we waited to go on stage like this...
Huh?
The joint performance our agency held a long time ago comes to mind.
Do you remember?
I was feeling so nervous before going on stage, but then you...
(I have to make today's show a success...)
(I have to be the perfect Shizuku Hinomori everybody expects me to be...!)
Shizuku!
Huh...?!
Oh, Airi, it's you. Is something wrong?
I came to see how you were doing since you're going on soon...
And you look as nervous as I was expecting you to be.
Oh...
*Nod*
I'm starting to wonder if I'll be able to go out there and perform without making any mistakes...
Yeah, I had a feeling...
But you're in luck, Shizuku!
Today, I'm going to teach you a special spell that will ensure that you'll do great on stage!
A special spell...?
Yup!
So, turn that way for me...
I'll place my hands on your back and...
Huh? Eep!
(Oh...)
(Airi's hands are so warm...)
(She's giving me so much encouragement just by touching my back...)
Hehe. I feel much better now.
See? I do this with the other members of QT, but it really works!
I didn't know that. Thank you, Airi!
Don't worry, Shizuku.
I know that you've been practicing more than anyone else!
So, I'm sure you'll do just fine on stage.
Have confidence in yourself!
Airi...
I will!
Thank you! I'll go now!
Oh, yeah... That did happen.
The spell you cast on me that time helped me relax and put on a good performance. So...
Can I do the same for you?
What?
I'd like to return the favor and give you any support that I can.
Oh... If you're offering, then yes, please.
Yes, of course!
I watched you practice so hard for your moment on this stage.
So, I know you'll do just fine.
Let's go out there and put on the best performance ever.
Shizuku...
Thanks.
That was just the boost of energy I needed.
You and Haruka put me through the blender, so there's no way I'm gonna let this chance go to waste! Let's go blow the roof off this place!
Yes, let's!
(Hehe. I'm glad that spell worked...)
(Now, all that's left is...)
(To go out on that stage with Airi and the others, and give it absolutely everything we have!)
