(Yesterday's show was pretty good, but I feel like something was missing.)

Hm? What's the matter, Karin? You look like you're grappling with something.

[Fade in/out.]

(Ah, Setsuna. Perfect. Her opinion is definitely something I want to hear.)

Hey, Setsuna, do you have a minute? There's something I want to ask.

Sure, what do you need?

I want to hear your honest opinion of my performance yesterday.

Huh? That's a bit sudden.

Hmm. Well.

I think it was really well balanced. Your singing and dancing had me spellbound!

Thanks. But I want you to be honest. I feel like you're a dear rival to me, but I also really respect you, so…

Er, well, I thought it might be better to do a performance that uses the whole stage and emphasizes your long limbs, since I'm jealous that mine aren't nearly as long.

I see. So I should show off more of my strengths, then.

But if I use the whole stage, won't that make me too spread out?

Hmm, that is a worry, too. Well.

How about you have a balanced, focused performance in the first half, then a more laid-back one in the second?

Change my appeal for each part, huh? You know, I like that!

I don't think I'd be able to take my eyes off the stage if you did that!

Got it! Thanks, Setsuna! I'm really glad I talked with you about this.

To the school idol fanatic!

Ahaha, come on, really?

Well, that may be true, but I feel like you're coming into the fold lately, Karin.

*Giggle* I think I've caught whatever you have, myself.

But every day is really fun and fulfilling. So I'm not losing to you, Setsuna.

And I won't lose to you, either! I'll work even harder now!

Then I'll help you level up, too. It's time for sexy pose practice, right now!

Huh?! W-Wait, my heart isn't ready for…

What are you babbling about? All right, first you need to open up around your chest a liiiittle bit…
