Mm? Who's this from?

I see, I see. Hmm, that sounds very intriguing.

Nozomi, I'm closing up the clubroom now.

Oh, right. Hold on a second.

Is it something urgent? I can leave it open until you're done with your reply.

I wouldn't call it urgent, exactly. It's from Karin over at Nijigasaki. I've been invited to a party!

A party?

Yup. A new fashion magazine is having a launch party, and she's asking if everyone from μ's wants to come.

That sounds wonderful! But is it really all right? None of us have any connection to this magazine.

Since she's inviting us, I would think that means it's fine.

You may be right… Oh, maybe the magazine plans to do a special feature on school idols. That may be why they're reaching out to us.

You're so dedicated, Umi. Well, let's ask Honoka and everyone else if they're free to go.

Yes, indeed. They're all waiting, so let's go.

[Fade in/out.]

Phew.

Are you done sending out messages?

Yes. I sent them to Hanamaru in Aqours and Nozomi in μ's.

I'm really looking forward to this. I can't believe I get to go to a party! Hopefully everyone else can come, too.

I know, right? We've got to get into it and glam ourselves up!

I wonder what I should wear to the party. The preparation part is pretty fun, too! And so is imagining what kind of food there'll be!

Come to think of it, will there be any other amateur models other than you attending the party?

Yes, there will be. I also heard that a few photographers and makeup artists will be coming, too.

Photographers! Will they be snapping photos of us?

I don't think they'll take any photos without permission, but… You know what? I think you might be approached for some photos because you're so cute, Emma.

What?! Me? C-Cute? B-But then they might ask me to be a model…

They just might.

Wh-Wh-Wha?! What'll I do?! What do fashion models do?! Should I be posing when I get my photo taken?

I just don't know! Karin, please tell me!

*Giggle* Whatever shall I do with you? Okay, I'll teach you some special poses! Stand up.

Okay! Thank you, Miss Karin!

I love the enthusiasm! I'll give you a thorough education by the time the party rolls around!
