*GARDEN - HOTEL OHARA - NIISHIZU - SHIZUOKA PREFECTURE*
MARI: "Here we are at the party venue!"
RIN: "Wow, what an extravagant garden!"
AI: "Look how fancy it is! It's so different from the kind of garden party that I was imagining!"
SETSUNA: "The decorations are very lavish as well. The way they complement the greenery around us is just stunning. I feel like I'm in another world!"
NICO: "It's a lot more relaxed than I expected. When you told us there was a dress code, I thought you were going to take us somewhere a lot stuffier than here."
SETSUNA: "If only the Chief and the others could've come. They would've been so excited to see how fancy this place is."
DIA: "You're right. I'm sure we'll all be able to come together next time, though."
RIN: "All the food looks so tasty! There's meat dishes, pasta, and even mapo tofu! What a range!"
AI: "Hey, let's take a commemorative photo! Come closer, Setsu!"
SETSUNA: "Ack, Ai! We don't all have to squish up that much!"
NICO: "Stop being so noisy, you guys! The other guests will think that we're not used to attending formal events!"
DIA: "I don't think most people are used to formal events like this anyway..."
AI: "Aw, don't worry so much! There are a bunch of people over there taking photos too."
NICO: "Even if the other people don't mind, I do!
As a school idol, you never know who could be watching you at any time, so you always have to be on your best and cutest behavior!"
MARI: "That's our Nico-chi, always the perfect sample of a school idol!"
NICO: "I know, right? Heehee."
DIA: "I'd say 'example' not 'sample'. Hm?"
MARI: "Dia, you're standing on someone's dress!"
DIA: "Excuse me, ma'am. I offer my sincerest apologies."
AIKO: "Don't worry about it, I don't like wearing this frilly stuff anyway."
DIA: "But I must say, you look beautiful in that dress, Madame."
AIKO: *Chuckle* "You're well mannered, are you the Mari I've heard so much about?"
DIA: "Me? No, but I am one of her closest friends."
AIKO: "If her friends are this polite, then I can only imagine how wonderful the lucky girl is."
RIN: "Dia's so pretty..."
SETSUNA: "Her gentle demeanor and well-practiced mannerisms could also be considered a school idol ideal! I should take a page out of her book!
Hmm... Somehow, that woman looks familiar. Have we met before?"
MARI: "I personally think that Dia could be a little more friendly!"
NICO: "Grrr...!"
DIA: "Sorry to keep you all waiting."
AI: "Dia, show us that pose you just did again! The one where you pinch your skirt and do a little curtsy! I wanna take a photo!"
DIA: "A photo? What for?"
NICO: "I can do that too, you know! Better than Dia, even! Look, look! That's a perfect curtsy, isn't it?!"
RIN: "Hmm... It seems a little off. Dia's was very beautiful and mature, but yours is a bit..."
SETSUNA: "A bit like a child trying too hard to copy her mother?"
NICO: "Who are you calling a child?!"
MARI: *Giggle* "You all sound like you're having so much fun! I'm so happy."
