Dia Ep. 18: A Slight Disruption
With your help, AZALEA was able to finish the student council work. Now you can finally have a meeting about the sub-unit live shows! But the school bell signals the end of the day.
Dia
Thank you all so much for your help today. I really appreciate it.
Hanamaru
I'm the best girl for the job whenever you need someone to fold paper neatly, zura!
Dia
Now that the student council's work is done, it's time for the sub-unit live show meeting!
Kanan
Oh, that's the after-school bell…
Player
That's it for today, I guess.
Dia
No… That means we're still behind schedule…
Kanan
You're still hung up on that? I keep telling you it's not like we're two or three weeks behind schedule, so it's fine!
| Option 1: “Let's try harder tomorrow.” |
|---|
| Player Yeah. Let's try harder tomorrow with the four of us, Dia. Dia I understand. I look forward to meeting again tomorrow. |
| Option 2: “Should we discuss more on the bus home?” |
| Player Should we have our meeting on the bus home then? We might only be able to discuss a tiny bit, though. Dia That's fine. I don't mind. We don't have all the time in the world, so I'll take whatever progress we can make. |

Dia
*Sigh* We talked about the live show on the way home, but we didn't decide on anything in the end. Everyone tells me I needn't worry, but…
Dia
Tomorrow brings with it its own tasks to attend to. What must I do for AZALEA…?
[Fade in/out.]
Player
Today's the day we get into action for real. Again, let's do our best for AZALEA's upcoming live show!
Kanan
Leave the choreography to me. I'll come up with something that fits AZALEA to a T!
Hanamaru
After the song and choreography, we have the costumes. I'll do my best to make them with everyone, zura!
Dia
Yes, and to that end… Could I get you all to look at this, everyone?
Kanan
Whoa, what is it? This stack of papers is huge.
Player
“School Idol Carnival”… “Gather 'Round, School Idols!”… Are all of these materials on the different events?!
Dia
That's right. If we don't decide on where to perform soon, we won't be able to start preparing. When I arrived home yesterday, I searched for events we could feasibly perform at.
Dia
I also looked at the scale of the events and their reviews. And, where possible, what previous performers went on to do. Some events may be a little far away, however.
Dia
I think every event I've selected would be a good fit for AZALEA. Any objections to picking from this selection?
Kanan
Did you research this entire stack?! I kind of wish you had discussed it with us first…
Dia
Are we not discussing it now?
Kanan
Yes, but… That's not the point…
Dia
Oh! I nearly forgot about something. Could you all take a look at this too?
Hanamaru
Is this…a practice schedule? There are so many different kinds, zura. But why? We haven't even decided on a date for the show yet.
Dia
I've drafted some tentative schedules that will prepare us in the best way possible for each event, in the case that we pick one from my selection.
Player
Wh-Whaaat? You mean you made a schedule for every single event?!
Dia
Correct. I have them planned to match each event program. We'll be fine if we follow them. All right, now let's pick which event we will perform at!
[Fade in/out.]
Player
Um, maybe this event? The one that you recommended, Dia.
Hanamaru
I feel nervous about appearing at this kind of huge event, zura.
Kanan
We'd have to apply right away. It does look like the most fun event, though.
Dia
I'll send an expression of interest to the event management. And on the official website, we enter the group name and number of people, tick that I've understood the application terms…
Player
Nice work, Dia. Your event summary was easy to understand and the tentative schedules made a lot of sense. I wish I could be as reliable as you!
Hanamaru
Y-Yeah…
Kanan
Right. Dia sure is reliable…
