Okay, we know what our next show is going to be. But getting everything ready won't be easy since it involves a number of large props...

I can carry anything you need!

I'll do it quick-lickety-split♪

MEIKO, let us know if you want any of us to help☆

We'll make or carry whatever you guys need!

I appreciate it, you two!

Still, you seem very excited about all this.

Is it because Tsukasa won that audition?

Hehe. Correct!

He said it was really hard, but he managed to portray his character the way he wanted.

Yeah! So, we feel motivated to try harder ourselves.

Hehe. Yes, I think anyone would feel encouraged after hearing a story like that.

Then, would you mind helping me carry some of the smaller props...?

We need to do that first to clear space for when we move the larger ones.

Okay. Len, let's go!

Thank goodness. I was worried that you were going to ask them to move the large props right off the bat...

I appreciate them being so kind...

However, it'd be dangerous for them to try to move any of the larger ones on their own.

Right...

If only we could get our resident sheep counter to feel even a tiny fraction of what they're feeling.

Zzz... Zzz...

Haha...

Oh, KAITO, MEIKO!

What do you want us to do?

Actually, we need to move some of these other things before we can move any of the larger props.

So, move them out of the way☆

I'm on it♪

Then, I'll keep working over here.

MEIKO, can you keep an eye on Rin and the others?

Okay♪

Where could Rin and Len be?

(I was sure I'd run into them by now, but I don't see them anywhere...)

Hnng!!! S-So heavy!

I'm gonna get crushed!

J-Just hang in there a bit longer!

I'm sure someone is gonna come help us!

That sounds like... Rin?! Len?!

What are you two...?

Wait, why are you carrying this giant prop...?!

There we are...!

Huff... Huff...

Fortunately, neither of you seem to be hurt.

Now, would you two mind explaining to me what happened here? Didn't I ask you both to start by moving the smaller props?

W-We're sorry...

We really wanted to help you, MEIKO...

We thought we might be able to carry a big one as long as we took breaks. We were actually going to take one just now...

But we ended up dropping it. That caused the foundation to break and everything started falling on top of us...

...

I appreciate you wanted to help me so much...

But I'd feel a million times worse than sad if something were to happen to either of you...

Does that make sense?

Yeah... Sorry for taking things too far.

And breaking that big prop...

We're really sorry...

Again, I'm just glad you're both safe...

Anyway, let's carry this big one together! After that, we'll go over and apologize to everyone together.

Okay...

Sorry, MEIKO...

We really thought we could do something for you.

Don't say that.

You've already done plenty by helping move those smaller props for me.

Also, nobody out there is good at everything!

I know you might feel bad about not being able to do more sometimes, but all you have to do then is figure out what you can do!

Just like how Rui and the others helped Tsukasa with his audition in whatever ways they could♪

Oh...

So, don't worry. I'm sure you'll find a way. With that in mind, let's do what we can♪

Okay...!

We promise to figure out what we can do and help you as much as possible, MEIKO!

Good! That's the spirit!

*Sigh*

If only there were a way to get Luka to share in your wonderful enthusiasm.

She's undoubtedly taking a nap somewhere right now. I'll need to do everything I can to wake her up once we get back to the stage!

Hehe...

Haha...!
