Here we are at the party venue!

Wow, what an extravagant garden!

Look how fancy it is! It's so different from the kind of garden party that I was imagining!

The decorations are very lavish as well. The way they complement the greenery around us is just stunning. I feel like I'm in another world!

It's a lot more relaxed than I expected. When you told us there was a dress code, I thought you were going to take us somewhere a lot stuffier than here.

If only Ayumu and the others could've come. They would've been so excited to see how fancy this place is.

You're right. I'm sure we'll all be able to come together next time, though.

All the food looks so tasty! There's meat dishes, pasta, and even mapo tofu! What a range!

Hey, let's take a commemorative photo! Come closer, Setsu!

Ack, Ai! We don't all have to squish up that much!

Stop being so noisy, you guys! The other guests will think that we're not used to attending formal events!

I don't think most people are used to formal events like this anyway…

Aw, don't worry so much! There are a bunch of people over there taking photos too.

Even if the other people don't mind, I do!

As a school idol, you never know who could be watching you at any time, so you always have to be on your best and cutest behavior!

That's our Nico-chi, always the perfect sample of a school idol!

I know, right? Heehee.

I'd say “example,” not “sample.” Hm?

Hm? What's wrong, Dia?

I believe I've met that woman over there at a party your family previously hosted. I'm going to go say hello.

[Fade in/out.]

Excuse me, ma'am.

Oh, you're Mari's friend! It's been a while. How have you been?

I've been well, thank you. I'm so happy to see you again.

Dia's so pretty…

Her gentle demeanor and well-practiced mannerisms could also be considered a school idol ideal! I should take a page out of her book!

I personally think that she could be a little more friendly!

Grrr…!

Sorry to keep you all waiting.

Dia, show us that pose you just did again! The one where you pinch your skirt and do a little curtsy! I wanna take a photo!

A photo? What for?

I can do that too, you know! Better than Dia, even! Look, look! That's a perfect curtsy, isn't it?!

Hmm… It seems a little off. Dia's was very beautiful and mature, but yours is a bit…

A bit like a child trying too hard to copy her mother?

Who are you calling a child?!

*Giggle* You all sound like you're having so much fun! I'm so happy.
