All right, that's a wrap on today's practice! Great job, girls!

When we all practice together, you really do pick up on things you wouldn't usually notice. It's so helpful!

Quite. And since everyone is more proficient each time we meet, it makes for some excellent motivation.

Hey, guys? So I came across this new cake shop recently. Their stuff is low-calorie but still super delicious!

Would it be okay if we all dropped in there after this?

I'm totally in! Any cake shop YOU recommend is gonna be a winner!

I wanna go too!

We can, right, Dia?

Of course. Let's all go.

If they have low-calorie cakes then I suppose I can indulge. I'm looking forward to this.

Looks like practice went well!

Nozomi!

Hey, we were just saying how we should all head to this cake shop Kotori's raving about! You should come along too, Nozomi!

Aww, sorry, but I have other plans today. Maybe next time! See you, guys!

Nozomi looked like she was in a huge rush.

Whatever she has planned must be really urgent.

…

What's up, Kotori?

The thing is… I've been a bit worried about how Nozomi's doing lately.

Worried?

Yeah. See, since about a week ago now, Nozomi suddenly started going home immediately after practice ended.

Even when we invite her out somewhere, she tends to say she has other plans just like she did today. I'm a little concerned.

Suddenly becoming busy like that would certainly be cause for alarm.

Maybe there's something Nozomi has to take care of in a rush.

Nozomi's the kind of girl who'd keep things like that to herself. I wish we could do something to help her out…

Let's follow her, then! There's no point in sitting here stressing out over it. We should just go ask her about it directly!

And then we can help her out if something's up!

Right! We can still catch her if we go right now!

Yeah! Thanks, everyone!

Then let's make haste, girls!
