Can't believe we ran into a girl that makes our Nico-chi squeal in glee.

Indeed! *Giggle* Nico looked so happy!

I realized something when I was doing my Nico-Nico-Ni practice with her. She's the type that always sees through what she's decided to do.

Yeah, you sure are right about that. I really felt how much she wanted to support and be acknowledged by you, Nico-chi.

She may not look it, but she's pretty gutsy. So don't you worry, I'm going to train her real good!

“Train” her? Come on, she's the one supporting you, remember?

Urgh. W-Well, I guess you could put it like that, too.

Well, you two did so much Nico-Nico-Ni practice, your stage performance is bound to make a jump.

With that perfect Nico-Nico-Ni, Nico-chi's gonna be unstoppable.

Hey, don't get the wrong idea, you two.

About what?

That was just me testing her motivation. A stage is not made on Nico-Nico-Ni's alone.

T-True!

I think we've done the funnest, best shows we can pull off so far.

And now we have extra help. That means we've got to make these shows even better than before.

It's going to be a high bar to pass for us and for her.

Nico… You know, when you're right, you're right.

Still, I really think we'll be able to pull it off with her.

Well, she's blessed to have you say that about her!

*Giggle* We've got a bond between us, you see!

Like she believes in me, I'm never going to betray her.

So we've gotta do our best, too!

You've got a lot of passion for the stage, Nico. We've all got to take a page from your book.

Yeah. This isn't just a challenge for Nico-chi, but for all of us.

Just leave it all to me!

Though I do wish you'd put as much effort into your studies.

I-I'll leave that all to you two!

And off she goes.

Yeesh.

Glad to see things are going well, though.
