Last up is Maki. I wonder if she'll be okay?

Are you worried about her?

I'm worried about if she can actually smile and be pleasant in front of the camera.

Well, Maki's got a good head on her shoulders. She should be fine, right?

That's got nothing to do with how well she can be pleasant. Anyway, let's see how this goes.

Well, she's on kind of a different trajectory from me, I guess?

She's really pretty. I wonder what you have to eat to get like that?

Hey, could you not stare at me like that?

Listen to yourself. When this book goes on sale, lots of people are going to look at you. Don't freak out over a little stare.

But I'm not freaking out or anything.

Well, that's good. And act more pleasant, too.

I don't need to bother with that yet. I'll smile or whatever when I'm in front of the camera.

You don't sound like you're entirely on-board, here.

I never said I was. Why'd I get dragged into this, anyway?

Well, you can turn it down if you really don't want to do it. It's not like this was planned ahead of time or anything, so they won't complain. Want me to do it for you?

I'll do this. You've gotta see something through to the end if you agree to do it, right?

Glad you understand. And make sure you don't mess up out there. Don't make μ's look bad.

You really needn't put pressure on her like that.

She's not weak enough to feel pressure from something so minor.

Good grief, I didn't ask for that kind of trust.

But you're going to meet my expectations, right?

*Sigh* Fine. I'll just do it, all right?

That's the spirit.

All right, ready to begin?

[Fade in/out.]

Phew, I'm beat.

Good job, Maki. I was really surprised by how different you seemed the moment the camera was on you. I couldn't take my mind off the camera, myself–is there a trick to it?

I want to know, too!

D-Don't ask me. I wasn't really thinking about it.

Wait, does that mean you're just a natural model?!

Well, not bad. Not bad at all. Nothing short of what I'd expect from a μ's member, though!

Grr! I'm going to have Karin train me when I get back!

That said, everyone, it's time to head home. Let's thank the staff.

Thanks for coming out today, everyone. These were some wonderful photographs. We'll send you today's Shichi-Go-San Magazine photos when they get published.

Shichi-Go-San Magazine?

Shichi-Go-San.

Th-This photoshoot was for Shichi-Go-San?!

Hold on a second, no one told me that!
