Urk… Ugh, I ate too much… My stomach's going to burst.

Are you okay? Do you want me to get you some water?

No… I don't want to put anything else into my stomach…

What? You're not going to eat any more, Yoshiko? But there's still so much food left.

Emma! What is the meaning of that plate you have there?! You've got so much food on it! Ah! It's going to spill!

It's okay, relax. I won't spill a single piece of meat, a single grain of rice, nor a single drop of sauce, since this is our precious, precious food.

Uh-huh! Since we're here, I want to try all the foods they have, zura! It's my duty as a food-lover, zura!

E-Even Hanamaru's in on it…

Ah well, let them be. Tonight's not the night to be a wet blanket.

Still, I would like for them to at least adhere to the bare minimum rules of etiquette…

All right! Once I've finished eating this plate, I'm gonna move on to dessert next!

Eeek!

Huh?! What's happening?! It's pitch black!

Is it a blackout? The lights are still on outside, so it looks like the power's only out for this building.

Ack! I bumped into something… A table? I didn't break anything, did I?

Don't move too much, girls. Let's stay put until the power comes back on.

[Fade in/out.]

The lights aren't coming on. It's like there's a tense mood in the room right now. I can really feel how uneasy everyone is.

It was so bright, lively, and fun until just a moment ago. What if that fun atmosphere doesn't return when the lights come back on?

I don't like the thought of that. You don't get to go to parties every day. Isn't there anything we can do? Is there some kind of way to bring joy to people in the dark?

Perhaps, but it would be dangerous to carelessly move around. We may bump into tables or other guests and hurt someone.

Aw! I should've brought along my notebook of puns! I wrote down a whole bunch of them that Ai taught me. We don't have to move around to tell puns.

That's a firm no. Puns will make the room freeze over, if anything.

How about we take advantage of the dark and tell some ghost stories? The lighting outside gives off the perfect mysterious atmosphere.

That's also going to be counterproductive.

I know! Songs, zura. Let's sing some songs!

S-Songs? Right here? Right now?

Of course! We don't need to move around to sing! It's also fun for both the singers and the listeners!

Yup! And look at the lighting effects outside. The colorful lights almost make it look like a live show venue, zura.

We're school idols, after all. We should be able to bring smiles to everyone's faces with our songs! I'm sure that includes everyone here, too!

Songs make people smile. You are absolutely right. We know this better than anybody else.

No other method could suit us better than this.

As expected of my little demon! For you to come up with such a brilliant idea is proof that you resemble your master in terms of sheer wisdom.

So that settles it, then. Let's give it a go. A special, brighter-than-ever, special live show to blow everyone's fears away!

(Hanamaru, Emma, Nozomi) Yeah! (Yoshiko) Yes! (Umi) Indeed!
