Today's event went so well.

2
Character icon
An

Yeah. We did really well as a team, but at the same time...

3
Character icon
An

It felt like there were more people in the crowd cheering for us than usual!

4
Character icon
Toya

You may be right. We've even been receiving more praise from other teams.

5
Character icon
An

I know, right? I gotta think that us going up against Arata like that is gonna create a lot of buzz too...

6
Character icon
An

Well, one of us may not be too happy about that...

7
Character icon
Akito

*Sigh*... Do you have to bring that up every time you talk about that guy?

8
Character icon
Toya

But if we can beat him next time, everyone will know for certain that we came out on top.

9
Character icon
An

Yeah, that's right!

Which is why...

10
Character icon
Akito

I know. We have to win as a team.

11
Character icon
Kohane

Yeah!

12
Character icon
Kohane

Anyways, see you tomorrow!

13
Character icon
Kohane

(Okay. I have to keep doing my best as a member of Vivid BAD SQUAD!)

14
Character icon
Akito

I convinced myself that in order for us to surpass RAD WEEKEND, I needed to become as good as I possibly could.

15
Character icon
Akito

I still believe that I need to get better for us to make our dream come true.

16
Character icon
Akito

But from now on, I'll try relying on you guys more...

17
Character icon
Kohane

(Shinonome even said that. I have to make sure that I don't get left behind either!)

18
Character icon
Kohane

(Oh, but...)

19
Character icon
Kohane

(Is it okay for me to keep doing events on my own after what just happened?)

The next day
Miyamasuzaka Girls Academy - Class 1-A

Character icon
Kohane

(Hmm... I couldn't really come up with anything good yesterday...)

21
Character icon
Kohane

(If possible, I'd like to think of something on my own...)

22
Character icon
Kohane

(But maybe I should talk to everyone about this.)

23
Character icon
Kohane

(Oh, I can watch that video to get myself ready for that too...)

24
Character icon
Airi

<Everyone!

This show's just getting started!>

25
Character icon
Shizuku

<So I hope you'll hear our song too.>

26
Character icon
Minori & Haruka

<Start the music!>

27
Character icon
Kohane

I've seen this so many times already, but they still amaze me every time...!

28
Character icon
Kohane

I can't imagine how exciting it must've been to see this as it actually happened!

29
Character icon
Kohane

(Oh, Minori said she kept having trouble with this part of the dance and always fell behind everyone else...)

30
Character icon
Kohane

(But it was so cool to see how she was in lockstep with everyone else during the show. Her solo went so well too...!)

31
Character icon
Kohane

(She's been worried about how her fans haven't been giving her the same respect as the others...)

32
Character icon
Kohane

(But I'm sure this show changed that.)

33
Character icon
Kohane

(I mean, Minori, you've always...)

34
Character icon
Kohane

(You've always had this sparkling smile on your face ever since we met and you told me about your dream.)

35
Character icon
Kohane

I can't describe how amazing you are, Minori.

36
Character icon
Kohane

(That's why I need to do my best to be able to sing up there with An too...)

37
Character icon
Minori

Kohane, good morning!

38
Character icon
Kohane

Oh, good morning!

39
Character icon
Minori

Wait, are you watching...?

40
Character icon
Kohane

The joint stream between Nanamin and MORE MORE JUMP! Actually, I've already seen it a few times...

41
Character icon
Minori

A few?! More than once?!

42
Character icon
Kohane

Yeah. Even though you were surrounded by famous idols, you still ended up shining just as brightly as they did.

43
Character icon
Kohane

Your performance was so encouraging and uplifting.

44
Character icon
Minori

R-Really...?! I don't know what to say...! Thank you so much, Kohane!

45
Character icon
Kohane

Hehe. Oh, also...!

46
Character icon
Kohane

Can I ask you about how you practiced before your show? I'd like to try what you did during my practices to, if you don't mind.

47
Character icon
Minori

Of course!

48
Character icon
Minori

But I don't know how helpful it'll be...

49
Character icon
Minori

We kind of just practiced nonstop. Start in the morning, come back during lunch and finish up after school.

50
Character icon
Minori

The week before our show, we'd even have a second practice after just finishing another one.

51
Character icon
Kohane

I see...

52
Character icon
Kohane

(Come to think of it, Minori was sleeping at her desk during breaks too...)

53
Character icon
Minori

I'm good at learning dance routines, but making each step look good takes me a while.

54
Character icon
Kohane

Which is why you were practicing so hard each day.

55
Character icon
Minori

Yeah. If only I had a little more natural talent.

56
Character icon
Kohane

(She worked so hard for that show, for her fans...)

57
Character icon
Kohane

(That explains why she looked so cool and shined so brightly during that show.)

58
Character icon
Kohane

Thanks for your help, Minori!

59
Character icon
Minori

No, don't mention it!

Will it actually help?

60
Character icon
Kohane

Yes! You taught me that I can't take shortcuts to getting better!

61
Character icon
Kohane

I'll make sure to practice right so that I can stand up and perform alongside my teammates!

62
Character icon
Minori

Okay! I'll be rooting for you!

I know you can do it, Kohane!
