Right, it's time for a little break!

Wahhh… I'm totally worn out.

Hey, Kasumi? All of you guys in Nijigasaki are pretty close, aren't you?

Yeah, we're all great friends.

You guys are different from Aqours in the way that you're all solo artists. Don't things ever get competitive?

They sure do! We actually fight a lot over who gets to sing first, or who gets to do the encore. No one ever gives in, so the debates are super brutal.

But! Even so! Fights never break out in the face of my cuteness. You know how some people stop fights with love and peace? Well, I'm all for cute and peace!

*Laugh* Cute and peace, huh? Then I guess you're the whole reason Nijigasaki is still standing.

Yeah, you get it! That's exactly how it is!

And I know that Aqours would be nothing without you either, You!

Huh?

The costumes that Aqours wears are always super cute. No, not just cute, even… There are so many different styles.

I assume that stems from your passion for uniforms, right?

What?! N-No, Ruby's a huge part of the costume process. I mean, I DO love uniforms, but if that was all there was to it, all our costumes would look the same.

So you see, it's more like… Ruby draws out the things I'm really passionate about in uniforms. We balance each other out.

So that's how it is. Someone who's passionate, and someone to keep that passion in check. What a wonderful team you make! I want to hear more!

I'd love to tell you more, of course, but our break's about to end. We have dance practice next.

Aww, but I wanna chat more.

Then let's have a little tea party next time! We can invite μ's too!

Yay! Promise? You can count me in for sure!
