Alright, preparations are all set for Ai's live show today at the...N.G.H Facility? I think that was the name... I have no idea what NGH could stand for though.
I should start getting ready soon.
*RIIING*
...Or not.
AKI: "Rina! What's up?"
RINA: "I've been doing a lot of thinking since the other day."
AKI: "Mm-hmm."
RINA: "I'm really...happy that I have more fans now and that I've been able to create a place where I can connect with lots of people."
AKI: "Happy to hear it."
RINA: "But there's another side to it. I didn't stop to consider the people who just want to quietly enjoy my performance."
AKI: "Yeah..."
RINA: "But after giving it a lot of thought...I think...we might be alike."
AKI: "Huh? What do you mean?"
RINA: "I'm not great in places with lots of people. I'm also not good at projecting my voice.
And I get exhausted when I'm constantly putting on these intense events.
So I understand why they haven't felt able to go to my events lately."
AKI: "Everyone enjoys things in their own way. I have things I'm not good at handling either. We all do.
It'd be great if you could satisfy everyone's wishes. I just don't know if it's possible."
RINA: "It might not be possible, but I want to try. I'm a school idol because I want to connect with everyone who comes to see me, after all."
AKI: "I see... Yeah, you're right. Forget whether it's possible or not. Let's work on coming up with some sort of solution."
RINA: "Yeah. Once we decide it's not possible, all sorts of possiblities disappear."
AKI: "A live event you can enjoy alone... Alone... Hmmm..."
RINA: "One-to-one...would be hard."
AKI: "Yeah, after I met up with over 1000 people one-to-one, I'm confident in saying that over 1000 live shows would kill us both."
RINA: "Yikes..."
AKI: "Oh, hold on. I know how we can do things one-to-one in a way that isn't one-to-one!"
RINA: "Huh?"
AKI: "Let's do it the same way you and I have our video calls!
That way people can enjoy it from the comfort of their room without going to a loud place."
RINA: "Oh! An online live show!"
AKI: "Yes! That would be a very Rina live show."
RINA: "Hehe. I think so too!"
AKI: "Right?!"
RINA: "Oh... But even though everyone could see me, I couldn't see them."
AKI: "Oh yeah... That is an issue..."
RINA: "In that case... I'll just have to develop a special app!"
AKI: "An app?"
RINA: "Yeah, an app that will allow me to see everyone's faces the same way they can watch me. I'll make one!
I wanna see their faces too. I'm gonna do my best! Rina-chan Board says, 'On fire!'"
AKI: "Wait, couldn't you connect it to the digital noticeboards in the practice room? That way everyone's faces could be visible on a screen."
RINA: "You're a genius!"
AKI: "Hey, I'm not the one developing apps here. But maybe this space you're creating needs a name... Hmm... The Thunderdome?"
RINA: "That sounds too scary."
AKI: "True, it needs to be more...Rina-esque."
RINA: "The Rinasphere!"
AKI: "I love it!"
RINA: "Then it's settled. Overnight I'll develop the Rinasphere to debut tomorrow!"
AKI: "T-TOMORROW?!"
RINA: "Yeah, making something like this is a piece of cake for me. Is tomorrow morning good for you?"
AKI: "Sounds great. Shizuku's live show is tomorrow evening so I'll be in school Sunday tomorrow."
RINA: "Thanks, Rina-chan Board says 'Bye-Bye!'"
AKI: "Wait! One last thing that's on my mind..."
RINA: "Huh? What is it?"
AKI: "If you're holding your board with both hands... How are you calling me?"
RINA: "Using my computer. Why?"
AKI: "Oh, of course...just..."
RINA: "I'm not a wizard."
AKI: "I know, I know."
