Hey, there's something serious that I want to talk to you about, Rina-chi. Could you hear me out?

Huh?! You want to talk to me about something?

Yeah.

Of course I don't mind but… I wonder what it could be. Rina-chan Board says, “Heart-pounding.”

You're going to come to the upcoming Star Festival party, right? Do you wanna surprise the others with me?

Surprise them?

Yeah, I want to do something exciting for everyone.

But there's only so much that I can do on my own. That's why I want you to help me out.

What do you think? Are you interested?

I am. I'd love to help out.

Really?

Yeah. I love making everyone's hearts flutter!

Thank goodness. I knew that you, of all people, would say that.

I heard you gave everyone some pretty big scares with that haunted house before, so I figured you like doing those kinds of things.

That's the Nozomi I know—sharp as a tack. My respect for you just keeps growing.

Okay, let's put our heads together and think of what to do.

I've got an idea, if you want. It's perfect for the Star Festival and I'm sure everyone will be surprised.

Oh yeah?

Mehehe. I think you'll be surprised too.

I like the sound of that! I'm all ears for your plan, Rina-chi!
