Hmm, what should I get?

Some meat! Get some meat in ya! You're gonna need more strength in those bones for round two, and for that, there's nothin' better than meat!

Lanzhu?

She's not the only one here.

Ciao!

Wow, are you all going for dinner too?

You guys ended the stream saying that you were going for dinner, right? So we thought you'd probably come here.

*Giggle* Did we surprise you?

Sure did! You came all the way here for us?

I couldn't just sit there, watching you all working your little hearts out.

But people outside of the group aren't allowed into the room for the contest, right? Once I heard you were heading out for food, I thought it was the perfect chance.

We said we'd all come together to cheer you all on.

Well, we didn't really get to discuss it… Lanzhu and Emma just jumped up and ran off.

Huh? Is that how it went?

Luckily, Karin's hunch paid off and we managed to run into you.

C'mon, gimme the lowdown on the contest. I'm all ears!

Hearing that theme is dreams made me have flashbacks to the career path survey we did not so long ago.

I was nodding along listening to you all discussing that theme.

You've been watching us that long?

You don't mean…you've been watching everything from the start?

Of course we were! I couldn't miss a moment of all your hard work.

You're killing it, Rina. Your ability to organize everything that needs to be done is incredible. The instructions you give everyone are so precise and easy to follow.

You're a leader they can all count on!

Um, thank you. I'm not sure how to respond. Rina-chan Board says, “Blush.”

With you at the helm, I know this project is gonna be smooth sailing!

It's not a side of you we usually get to see.

Right. The way you're gathering everyone's ideas to incorporate into the project…

That's usually your job.

Who, me? Is that what I usually do?

Yeah. You usually ask what everyone wants to do, put it all together, and make it happen.

I've always got a close eye on you, you know!

You've got my stamp of approval as the—

Supreme club president, yeah, we all know.

Squee! I knew you'd know how it is, Mia!

Ugh, just sit down! Time to order! What are you having, Lanzhu?!

I'll get the steak meal followed up with a parfait!

[Fade in/out.]

That was a fun meal. I feel more energized now.

Me too. I think I could even go for an all-nighter, especially with the meringue cookies Emma gave us for a late-night snack.

Hold on. I think we should get a good sleep tonight.

Huh? I'm totally fine to keep going, though.

We've made more progress today than we expected, so let's work on it until 11 and then take a rest.

We have 48 hours, so it's important to pace ourselves.

I think you're right, Rina. All our hard work will be for nothing if we run out of steam in the second half.

Right. Let's give one last push today!

I'll adjust the text areas we were talking about.

Mia and I will keep working on the charts. Let's see how much we can get done by 11!

[Fade in/out.]

…That's all for today then, I guess.

I wonder how far she'll get…

Don't you feel like something's missing in all that support? Don't you want more?

How long can you keep holding onto your beliefs?
