I'm back, and I've gathered a whole bunch of signatures!

Welcome back, Kasumi! What were everyone's reactions like?

Everyone was so positive! Some girls even called out to me while I was heading back because they wanted to add their signatures!

Sounds like Mari did the perfect job of reeling everyone in.

*Chuckle* Totally. I had girls from different classes telling me the event sounded like fun and that we had their support.

I had comments and offers coming outta my ears!

Comments and offers coming out of your ears? Rina-chan Board says, “Question mark?”

People were saying things like, “It's a place where everyone's dreams can come true, right? Then I wanna help out behind-the-scenes, too!”

The girls in the life design course said they'd help make the costumes.

Everyone in the international exchange course offered their assistance to show any international visitors around.

It feels as though we have the support of the whole school.

It's not just a feeling, Setsuna. I figured I needed to do some footwork for the other clubs, but when I got to them they all offered to help however they could.

Everyone's grateful to you for acting as the mediator between the student council and each club for the school tour thing.

You really did make a lot of rounds.

Good deeds done are good deeds earned! Wonderful!

You made the right choice in helping Shioko!

We're going to get so many signatures that Shioriko's eyes will pop out.

I'm starting to think we can pull this off!

Don't think it, do it. We're not gonna let all of our hard work up until now go to waste.

I can't think of holding the event anywhere but at Nijigasaki now.

Oh, before I forget! There's something else we need to do other than gather signatures, so I called in some reinforcements.

Huh? Reinforcements?

[Fade in/out.]

Yoohoo! We're here!

Thanks for coming! Hm? Only the three of you today?

Yes, the others are busy doing other things so it's only us today.

So what was with all the excitement just now? Something happen?

Well, actually…

[Fade in/out.]

That really happened? I guess that's Mari for you! She sure knows how to make a scene!

I'm glad you're getting a good number of signatures!

Sorry for leaving all of you to handle the venue preparations on your own.

That's totally okay. It's the least we could do after causing everyone so much trouble ourselves.

So anyway, I want your opinions about what we're going to do and where, if the event is held at Nijigasaki. Once that's done I can go and present it all to Shioriko.

Leave that all to us! Let's go and explore Nijigasaki! I wonder what we'll find?

Honoka, we have not come here for fun and games.

Let us study the school layout and its facilities. Could you please show us around?

Is it okay for us to take photos around the school so we can report back to Aqours?

Of course you can. Let's get going, then.

Yup! We're in your hands!

[Fade in/out.]

Phew… Nijigasaki sure is big.

Honestly, it far exceeded my expectations.

There were so many special classrooms and the cafeteria food looked amazing! I wish we had that at our school!

I'd end up living in the cafeteria if we had food that amazing!

Uh-huh! I don't think we'd ever stop chatting!

Goodness me… I can completely imagine them engrossed in their cafeteria food.

*Laugh* Anyway, let's get right into it. What do you three think about stage set-up and stuff?

I think the auditorium should be the main stage and then we could probably set up two sub-stages…

Yeah, that sounds good. How about we also give a theme to each of the stages while we're at it?

It might be a good idea to create spaces for everyone to mingle, since we will have school idols from all around the country joining the event.

Then should we divvy up spaces for each school idol or group and have them do their own thing?

H-Hold up! Let me write all of this down!

You three sure are amazing. Ideas just keep popping out of you.

Um, while we are at it, could I also touch on the topic of facilities for the visitors?

Yes, please.

First, restrooms. Finding them is difficult in unfamiliar places, so let's set up some large signs. We also need to address the stairs as they will be dangerous with crowds.

I see…

It'd be nice to have a map to carry around with you since Nijigasaki's so huge. Putting up large guide maps would be great, too.

That huge notice board in the school that all the students were looking at! Could we post the schedules for the day up onto them?

Probably. We could use the digital notice boards, too.

Ooh, that's an awesome idea!

I love how we can see it coming together now. We really should've had everyone come with us.

Yes, indeed. We will report everything from today at our next regular meeting and gather everyone's feedback there.

I'll make sure to have everything put together properly by then!
