Now that we've decided on our slogan, let's start making some solid plans. It'd be good if we could list up all the things we have to do today.

Let's do it like today's the deadline for everything!

Hmm… So we need to talk about publicity, event operations, stands and booths…

Hey, could I ask you guys somethin'?

What's up, Ai?

I sorta have an idea about what publicity involves, but what about stands and booths? And this whole operations side of things? I'm drawin' a blank here.

Oh, we put that on hold when we had our camp in Numazu, too.

Oh yeah… We got all carried away and never really got to that.

By “stands,” do you mean stalls? Like the candy apple stalls you might find at a cultural festival?

While it could refer to stalls like that, cultural festivals operate on a much smaller scale than what we're dealing with.

It seems as though we may need to submit a fair amount of applications, orders, and other such external transactions ourselves for this event.

Sounds like a pain.

I'm sure it'll be lots of fun if we all do it together.

Looks like Hanayo's more of a grown-up about this than you, Nico.

Y-You wanna go?!

My brain is getting fried thinking of all the stuff we gotta do…

Well, it is as they say: no pain, no gain.

Hey, so about all that… Could you guys let us handle it?

Handle what, exactly?

The event operations side of things.

It would be really helpful if you could… But are you really okay with taking on all that work?

Yes, all of us discussed this after the camp was over. We figured it would probably be better if Aqours played a more central role since we've helped run an event before.

We should be able to provide at least a little bit of assistance with our experience.

We really gave it our all for that event.

The Numazu Summer Festival, right? That takes me back.

You helped us a lot with that festival too.

We really appreciated how you stopped Yoshiko from going too wild, zura.

It's YO-HA-NE! And what are you talking about? That was my best creation yet!

Yeah, you really did your best, Yoshiko.

I said it's Yohane!

It'd be a big help if you could give us your assistance this time, too.

Say no more! I'll do anything I can to help out.

So, what about the rest of you?

Your offer's really reassuring. Could we take you up on it?

Then consider yourself a passenger on Noah's Ark and leave it to me, Yohane!

That's gonna make everyone even more worried, zura…

What's that supposed to mean?!

That's enough from you two. First, we need to decide how many food stalls are required based on the number of anticipated visitors.

Since we're gathering all the nation's school idols, it'd be pretty cool if we could get together regional delicacies from across the country too.

I would love to see some dishes made especially for the event, too!

Oh? Sounds like it's time for my Special Deluxe Stewshine!

Mwa hah hah. The time has come for the Bloody Moon Sticks, otherwise known as the Tears of a Fallen Angel: Revolution, to make its grand return.

I-It's gonna be super spicy again, huh…?

I'll make sure to whip up a child-friendly version as well this time.

We'll need to put up some guideposts around the venue as well.

We gotta have an area for kids who get lost too, 'cause otherwise they'll just be lost with nowhere to go.

Then we should get some toys so the kids don't get bored waiting for their parents to come get them, too!

Hanamaru and I will write up the announcement scripts again. Sound good to you, Hanamaru?

Yup!

Given what a big event this is turning out to be, might I suggest some limited-edition merchandise?

W-Wow… The list of things we have to do just keeps getting longer and longer…

Here I always just dropped in on these things. I had no idea it took this much planning. I guess it takes more than just gusto to make a live show come alive…

It takes more than gusto to make a pun land too, Ai.

C'mon, it wasn't that bad, was it?

It sounds like fun, but all this important stuff keeps coming up. Rina-chan Board says, “Confused.”

Come on, guys. I get that you're surprised, but you've got to contribute. Aqours might be taking the lead, but that doesn't mean you can just dump this all on them.

Indeed, it would make things much easier for us if you speak up.

Oh, me, me! I've got an idea! Listen to me!

(Everyone's getting so into it… Better roll my sleeves up and help out as much as I can too!)
