Playtime's over. Back to work
Ugh, the rain outside still won't let up. Even after it pissed all over my plans in Yokohama.
Oh well, there's always next time. And I'm glad that Tsuki wants to volunteer for the Festival.
AI: "Hey guys, what do you think of this?"
SHIZUKU: "Oh, the website for volunteer signing? It's done already?"
AI: "Yup, Rinari and I made it!"
EMMA: "You're so good with stuff like this, Rina! I'm not at all, so I really respect that about you."
KANATA: "Thanks to Rina, we never have to worry about our online presence. You're amazing!"
RINA: "I-I'm gonna blush if you keep complimenting me so much... Rina-chan Board says, 'Warm and fuzzy'."
KASUMI: "Ooh, show me too! Whoa, this looks great! It's so cute!"
AYUMU: "It really is. Just looking at it gets me all excited!"
SETSUNA: "And it's got such a clean design!"
KARIN: "All the relevant info is spread out so nicely. You two really did a great job."
RINA: *Giggle*
AKI: "It's just as good as I knew it would be. I'm so glad I asked you two!"
AI: "We did it, Rinari!"
RINA: "Rina-chan Board says, 'Victory!'"
KARIN: "Only Ai and Rina could pull this off."
AI: "Rinari and Ai have great teamwork! Ai can hardly believe it! *Giggle* So guys, should we go ahead and make the site go live?"
AKI: "Let's."
...
EMMA: "Ooh, I'm so nervous... Do you think people will really sign up?"
AYUMU: "Don't worry, Emma. Everyone in the school is cheering us on!"
SETSUNA: "It's not just everyone at school."
AKI: "Exactly, my wild goose chase around the city! They all told me they were on board, so I'll be pretty annoyed if nobody signs up..."
SHIZUKU: "Also, thanks to Honoka and Chika helping us do some PR, all the school idol fans are buzzing about our School Idol Festival."
KARIN : "That's right, I keep seeing it all over social media."
KANATA: "I saw it too! Everyone's really looking forward to it."
AKI: "Hey, did all of you know that Nijigasaki itself is also a hot topic right now?"
AI: "Yeah, because Ayumu's performance during the School Tour was so good!"
AYUMU: "Wh-What?! Mine? R-Really? I have a hard time believing that."
AKI: "It's all true. How Yu was able to recruit so many people to the Ayu's fan club was through showing them that performance."
AYUMU: "Really, I can't believe it..."
AI: "But AH, YOU MUst believe it, Ayumu!"
AYUMU: "Come on, Ai!"
AKI: *Laugh* "But it's true thaf your performance sparked something big.
And didn't the rest of you help Nijigasaki out by promoting your unique talents through your fan clubs and social media? I think that's how people found out about you and became fans.
It's all because you showcased each other's personal strengths that we've gotten this opportunity now! So have confidence!
We'll DEFINITELY get 1000 people to volunteer!"
EMMA: "Yeah... You're right. I know we will!"
KASUMI: "It'll be a piece of cake to get 1000. They'll sign up just like that, and we'll make Shioko beg for forgiveness!"
KARIN: "No, Kasumi, we're just asking for her permission."
AKI: "I second that. I don't want to see anyone begging for anything."
SHIZUKU: "Oh! Look!"
AKI: "What's up, Shizuku?"
SHIZUKU: "We've already gotten almost 100 volunteers!"
KANATA: "Whoa... That many while we were just chatting?!"
RINA: "Wow... The counter just keeps going up and up..."
AI: "Whoa, that's wild... Kinda makes me worried that it could be a bug or something."
RINA: "It's working just fime, don't worry."
AI: "Wow! Who knew gathering one hundred people would be so easy? We'll hit a thousand in no time!"
EMMA: "I'm finally starting to realize just how big of an event the School Idol Festival is."
SETSUNA: "We're feeling the love of school idol fans from all over Japan!"
AYUMU: "Yeah... Everyone's looking forward to it and cheering us on."
KARIN: "Oh? I got a message from a long-time fan saying they saw the volunteer recruitment site.
*Chuckle* It says they signed up immediately!"
AI: "I got one too!"
KASUMI: "So did I!"
KANATA: "Me too!"
AKI: "That's amazing, girls. Now the number is over 100!"
AYUMU: "And it just keeps going up!"
AKI: "That's how excited everyone is for the School Idol Festival!"
KASUMI: "I told you that getting 1000 will be a piece of cake!"
KANATA: "Yeah, this should mean we have nothing to worry about."
SHIZUKU: "We can't relax just yet, but I can already see a lot to be hopeful about on the horizon now!"
AKI: "Let's work even harder and go all the way to 1000!"
EVERYONE: "Yeah!"
