It's really happening...!
Y-Yeah, it happening tomorrow...
The girls' solo show...
Hmm... I figured that Rin would be feeling pretty anxious about this, but not Miku...
Oh, you think so?
I feel that it's pretty natural.
Especially since they've been watching over MORE MORE JUMP! the longest out of all of us.
And their very first solo show is really happening tomorrow. I'd sure feel anxious. Wouldn't you?
Hehe. Yes, I certainly would♪
Yeah, you're right.
Still...
Oh dear...
I think I'm going to have trouble sleeping again tonight.
I'm having a hard time understanding how KAITO feels about all this...
Hehe. I believe that's just him being him, no♪
I agree... But we sort of do need him to buck up sooner rather than later.
KAITO? If you're stuck in this state, who's going to be there to comfort Miku and Rin?
Y-You're right...!
I need to pull myself together!
E-Everything's going to be okay.
Miku, Rin, let's all just take a deep breath...!
I think you need to do that the most right now, KAITO.
*Sigh*
You seemed fine when Minori and the others were here. What happened between now and then?
A-Are you kidding? Of course I can't show Minori and the others how I'm really feeling. Not before their big show! What if I made them worry?
But you made sure to take their mental state into account even though you were struggling. That's impressive.
Hehe. To be fair, KAITO's been worrying about them ever since they came to him for advice regarding how to set up their venue and figuring out designated routes for the audience...
H-Hmm... I really hope everything goes well...
I'm a lot more nervous for them than I ever was for my own shows.
Same...
Yeah... My heart's racing...
I understand why you're all worried, but I'm sure that they're going to do just fine. You both know that they worked really hard to get to this point.
They probably will because they work so hard and care about their fans so much.
Exactly. So, until then, we should try to relax as we wait for their curtains to go up on their big show♪
Yes, okay...
Th-Then, let's think of a way for us to have fun tomorrow!
Y-Yeah!
<Th-That was so incredible...!>
<Yeah, I almost started tearing up partway through! They... They all sparkled so much...!>
<It reminded me of just how wonderful idol shows can be. Their performance was really something else...>
<Minori must've worked so hard for this. She was probably doing everything she could even when we weren't there to watch...>
Thanks for waiting, everyone!
We sorta ran into some trouble right as we were about to go clean everything up...
Yeah, Minori was about to go buy some water for us and ended up opening the staff door that leads to the main exit... Right into the view of our fans as they filed out.
A-Airi! They don't need to know that!
<Hehe. More importantly, congratulations on a successful solo show! It was amazing!>
Thanks!
We really appreciate you all taking the time to come by and watch.
Staff, please gather!
We're going to start taking everything down now!
Oh... I'm sorry, we need to head back...
<Don't mind us. We know you girls have an after party later too. So, we'll talk again in SEKAI.>
<W-Wait! Before you go...!>
<Minori...>
P-Present!
<You really shined on stage as you sang and danced today. And your speech at the end was so moving.>
<Yeah, I was really moved by that too! Just thinking about it is starting to make me... Oh no...!>
<My point exactly!
That part about idols being in a position to not just give hope, but also receive was so...>
<KAITO, we shouldn't keep them too long.>
<Especially since we'll have plenty of time to talk to them later. So, let's go.>
<W-Wait... Okay, MEIKO, I understand...!>
<Anyway, see you later in SEKAI.>
Okay! We absolutely promise to stop by to talk about today!
You kept your cool while you were watching them, KAITO, but it's like a switch flipped inside your head after the show was over...
Haha...
I think it's because I was so focused on not missing a moment of it.
B-But I got to see such an astounding show! How am I not supposed to feel this way...?!
Yeah, KAITO's right!
I agree too! Oh no...
Just thinking about it is making me...
Oh, you.
I know you're happy, but tears don't belong on that adorable face of yours.
Still, idol shows really are the best.
They give you hope, fill you with energy and all these different emotions... You learn so much just by watching over them.
Hehe. I completely agree♪
And after the show's over, you get to talk about how great it was with everyone.
Precisely! We're so lucky to be their fans!
So, let's keep discussing what they just achieved! I'm sure all of you have plenty more to talk about, right?
Well, you're not wrong. Alright, let's keep talking.
Wonderful!
