Ahh, it's nice and sunny out! What a beautiful day!

[Fade in/out.]

Days like today make you wanna get outside. Like for a picnic or something!

A picnic sounds lovely. We've had quite a packed schedule recently.

It'd be nice to pack lunch boxes for ourselves and bring them along.

And snacks too!

Do you all have any side dishes you absolutely, positively HAVE to put in your lunches?

Rice balls!

Hanayo, rice balls don't count as a side dish…

B-But they go perfectly with any food you can think of. In a way, they're like the king of side dishes!

I respect your enthusiasm, Hanayo, if not your logic…

If we're talking about our own lunches, we should be looking at rice balls as a given and not something we have to deliberate about including.

*Chuckle* I agree. So, as far as foods that we'd want to eat with rice balls go…

Rolled eggs!

Me too! I love rolled eggs!

I would have to say fried chicken.

Spinach salad with sesame dressing might be good too.

Ooh, that all sounds so yummy! What about you, Maki?

I'm fine with anything. But mini-sausages cut like octopuses are a staple, right?

Yeah! I love 'em!

We should all have a picnic together! We can celebrate being in the magazine and on TV and stuff!

Didn't we just celebrate all that recently?

We can celebrate accomplishments like those as many times as we want!

Morning!

Morning, Nozomi! And good morning, Eli and Nico!

Hey, so we were all talking about how we should go on a picnic together.

Sounds nice. I'd love to!

The plan is to make a whole buncha boxed lunches!

So what you're really saying is you're craving one of my special homemade midday feasts, huh?

Very well! I'll make you all a mountain of food!

Moving on, why are you all not changed yet?! How long have you been standing around just chit-chatting?

Umm… Maybe half an hour?

Half an hour?! You should already be out on the roof and finished with your warm-up exercises!

Urgh, you've gotta be responsible even when I'm not around! Now get changed this instant!

Y-Yes ma'am!

[Fade in/out.]

One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. And…stop.

Phew… These new dance steps are tricky.

Right?! But it'll be fine! We'll get the hang of them eventually.

We don't have the luxury of thinking “eventually” is good enough. We can't afford to get tripped up here.

She's right. We've gotta level up our dance skills.

Not just our dancing. I'd like to see our singing improve too.

You're all very motivated today.

Of course we are! Being in magazines and on TV means all eyes are on μ's now. This is our big chance to show everyone what we're really capable of.

Right now, we're training to leave the world speechless!

Guess you haven't given up on stunning the world.

Like I'd ever!

Putting aside the whole world, it is very motivating to know that a lot more people are aware of μ's now.

Definitely. I think we all wanna show off something next-level, you know?

Yeah, I agree.

Good, then learn the new routines immediately!

Nico, you're such a harsh instructor…

Keep up with me!
