There's still some time until we're supposed to meet up. I wonder if everyone is already there.

[Fade in/out.]

Oh, Kotori, Shizuku. What's going on?

Oh, Riko!

Um, well…

Hyaaah!

H-Huh?

*Giggle* I won again! This is my fifth win in a row!

Look at them playing! They're trying to see how far they can fling their shoes!

Huh, I haven't played this game since elementary school, but it's pretty fun now that we're doing it again.

Uggh, I've never lost to anyone at this before. Let's do it one more time. One more!

Sure thing! But no matter how many times you try, I don't think you'll be able to beat me.

We won't know that until I try!

Kasumi, can we start practice soon?

In a minute! I can't quit until I beat Nozomi!

Geez. Everyone's here and waiting already. Is this really okay, Kotori?

Sure, why not? The two of them seem to be having a lot of fun.

It doesn't seem like Kotori and Shizuku will be able to put a stop to this… Okay then! Time for me to lay down the law!

Hrmmm…

But what exactly do I say?

Bzzzt!

Wh-Whoa!

Dia?!

What do you think you are doing?! School idols cannot afford to waste a single second.

And yet here you are, foolishly playing around! Come on now, let us begin practice right away!

O-Okay.

W-Wow! She was able to overpower Nozomi and Kasumi. Dia is amazing!

Hm? Riko?

Y-Yes!

Are you paying attention? I am talking to you, too. It is time to begin practice!

U-Understood!
