Karin! Mind if I join you in running?

Sure, I don't mind.

Why the sudden interest, though? Weren't you going to do voice training with the others?

Well, there's actually something I want to you to see. It's this!

Rainbow running shoes! I produced them myself.

Hey, those are nice. The laces are all colorful, just like a rainbow.

That's the idea! I dyed them one-by-one, all on my own. Pretty cute, huh? My finest work, if I say so myself!

*Giggle* Well, they're perfect for you, Kasumi. Knowing what looks good on you is a pretty important school idol skill, isn't it?

Oh, I'm doing that all on purpose.

But personally, I think you have a better grasp of that, Karin. You always have those sexy costumes.

Well, that's probably because I've got modeling experience.

I don't think that's all there is to it, personally. Like, your aesthetics and my cuteness aren't just things you can learn.

You mean we're born with them?

*Giggle* Why thank you, Kasumi. That's kind of inspiring.

All right, let's get in a good run today!

Huh? I-I mean, I don't actually want to run that hard, I kind of just wanted to wear my new shoes.

Oh, yeah? Then how about we decide later how much you'll run, and give you a prize if you make it?

A prize?! There's prizes!

And I don't mean just from me to you, either. I'll give you one, and you'll give me one. How about it?

So you mean, I'll give you a prize, and you'll give me a prize?

Yeah. Now, while I want to take my time thinking on what that prize'll be, it's about time to get running.

Got it! I'll think on what to give you while we run!

*Giggle* And that'll make running more fun, won't it?

Yeah! All right, what prize to give…

Well, Kasumi, let's get going.
