So this is the event space for the fashion show. Did the staff finish setting everything up?

Looks that way. All that's left is for us to put on our dresses and walk down the catwalk.

I'm getting nervous, zura. Are we really going to be models here? We already decided what to wear, but this still doesn't feel real.

You're right. My heart is pounding too. Whether it's a live show or a fashion show, getting on stage in front of people is always nerve-wracking.

We'll be fine! I'm sure we've got this in the bag!

I agree, we need to believe in ourselves. Think about all the live shows we have all overcome so far.

Yeah! For our live show today—wait, it's not a live show. Anyway, we'll make sure that everyone who comes today enjoys our performance!

I'll do my best, zura! It'll be a fun perfor…mance?

Wait a second. What exactly do we have to do on stage as a fashion model?

…………

Oh no! For us, a stage means a live show. That image is just so strong that thinking about how to act as a model didn't cross our minds at all!

I think singing and dancing might be out of the question. Well, maybe there are fashion shows like that? Yes or no?

I don't think we'll be able to this time.

Oh yeah, isn't Karin from Nijigasaki a model? Do you think she could give us any pointers?

Oh, that's a good call! I'll send her a text. Let's see… “What do models do during fashion shows?” Sent!

Whoa! That was a quick reply! What'd she say? “As long as you act as your 100% natural self, you'll put on a great performance.” There you have it!

She gave us the perfect answer without having to ask about what we're doing. Karin's so cool.

Your 100% natural self? So that means anything goes?! Both hands like bam! Legs like boom! How's this pose?

It is certainly on point.

While your standing pose is important, so is the walk. From the bit of research I did, looking straight ahead with your shoulders back seems to be the basics.

I've also heard that you're supposed to cross your feet over one another like a cat as you walk.

Shoulders back, eyes forward, and walk like a cat. Whoa… This is hard, zura.

This is so different from a normal walk. We should use the time we have left until the show to practice.

Hey, isn't there anything else we can do besides walking and posing? I know we can't perform like a live show, but I want to try other stuff.

Oh! How about putting on a play?

A play?

Yes. Wouldn't it be fun to do a skit themed around a party or a fashion show?

I see. If our lines compliment the dresses, it'll work as advertising for the store too. That might be a good idea.

“We are the six chosen princesses! We shall celebrate with all our hearts. Starting off in a new land, we shall hope for long-lasting glory for this shop for fine clothes!”

We're already starting to rehearse, zura?!

“There's cute dresses everywhere! I want to wear all of them! What should I do?”

“You'll just have to wear them all! Each change of dress makes our business a success! And it's never good to hold back.”

H-Hold on a moment! We haven't decided to put on a play just yet. The star of the show has to be the dresses, so we cannot let our act steal the spotlight!

“My dear lady Dia, you're making such a frightening face! We're about to head to the ball. Show me a smile that the loveliest of dresses couldn't outshine!”

I am not your dear lady! Listen to what I'm saying!
