*Exhale* Gotta do my best…

I think I'm about to forget everything I learned.

No need to worry so much, both of you.

All you should be doing today is having a simple conversation in a specific situation.

Oh, that makes sense…

Miako's prediction was right.

Huh? Mia?

O-Oh, nothing. A specific situation, huh? I hope it's something simple, like saying hello to your neighbor in the morning…

I wonder if it'll be that simple…

It's gonna be harder than that?!

…Huh? Is everyone looking at us?

I think everyone loves school idols so much that they're happy that you're all here.

Go ahead and talk to everyone before the class starts, both of you.

Wha?! Couldn't you have told me we'd be doing that earlier?!

Hello everyone, I'm the school idol Kasumi Nakasu! I hope you'll take care of me today!

[Fade in/out.]

Now, please pair up and begin your conversation in the situation I described.

All of you in the International Exchange course, please play the role of the store attendant. Remember that your conversation is supposed to help the customer buy something.

Rina, Kasumi, how do you both feel about the situation? Think you can handle it?

I'm buying something at a burger joint.

I'm going clothes shopping! I don't know anything about this!

J-Just give it your best shot! I'm sure the person playing the store attendant will guide you through it.

[Fade in/out.]

This one, please.

Would you like a drink?

This one, please. Rina-chan board says, “Thank you!”

Sure thing!

Have a nice day!

Are you looking for something in particular?

Huh? Some…what? Um… Clothes… A dress, please!

We have small, medium, large, and extra large sizes.

Large?! I'm a small! No, I mean… Um… I can try!

I can try! I can try! Put on me!

[Fade in/out.]

How was it?

I had fun!

Aaagh…

I was terrible! I wanted to show Shizuko how I was secretly really good!

Ahaha… But hey, you made it through using body language!

Really…?

I thought you were awesome. That was what you were secretly great at!

B-But that isn't what I wanted to show off… But, well, I guess that's good!

Actually, now that I think about it, when I'm using body language I look suuuper cute, so I must have been 100 times more charming than usual!

And that's why I got through to her! Yeah!

*Giggle* Sure, let's say that.

What about you, Shizuku?

I had a lot of fun too! I really got into playing the store attendant.

Ah, you were performing even during the English conversation.

I-I'm not always performing! But I've never had the chance to be a flower shopkeeper before, or a clothing store attendant, or a hotel concierge.

I think you're amazing, Shizuko. You're totally fluent!

Huh?! Not at all! It's just that today was such a staple conversation!

There's words I can't remember right away, and my pronunciation needs work…

Huh? Really? Don't you think Shizuko's amazing, Rinako?

Yeah. I really respect her.

I really still have a long way to go…

Take me with you when you go overseas, Shizuko.

Take me too!

Geez, you're both making too much out of this!
