  9. Ah, so much fun!!
  10.  
  11. Mama hasn't felt so energetic in years!!
  12.  
  13. Hey, hey, Ai!! Did you see Mama on stage?
  14. Everything went perfectly
  15.  
  16. Yeah, yeah, it was perfect, as good as ever!!
  17. Why haven't you changed clothes already!?
  18.  
  19. My, Ai is such a grouch!
  20.  
  21. ---
  22.  
  23. It's true that Ai was very good on stage
  24. But Mama saw that you didn't inspire the same kind of feelings she did
  25.  
  26. Th...That isn't true!! Manami-san said I could lift the spirits of other people
  27.  
  28. Manami?
  29.  
  30. That's what she said before!! She was the person who used to be my manager!!
  31.  
  32. Wow, what a coincidence!
  33.  
  34. My new manager is also named Manami!
  35.  
  36. ...Huh?
  37.  
  38. C'mon, don't you follow the news?
  39.  
  40. ---
  41.  
  42. Mai-san, are you still here!?
  43.  
  44. We need to leave as soon as possible to get to the next recording!!!
  45.  
  46. Huh...
  47.  
  48. ---
  49.  
  50. Ai-chan!!?
  51.  
  52. Manami-san!!?
  53.  
  54. W,W,W,W,What's going on here!?
  55.  
  56. What's Manami-san doing as Mama's manager!!
  57.  
  58. ---
  59.  
  60. You teamed up with Mama to defeat me!!? What kind of reunion is this!!
  61.  
  62. C...Calm down, Ai-chan
  63. I wasn't trying to defeat you
  64.  
  65. I'm sorry... I should have told you right away
  66. There was a lot going on so I didn't contact you...
  67.  
  68. I... After I quit 876 Pro I ended up working in a sushi restaurant...
  69.  
  70. Sushi?
  71.  
  72. Yeah...
  73.  
  74. My job was to deliver egg drop soup...
  75.  
  76. ---
  77.  
  78. One day Mai-san came in during my shift...
  79.  
  80. Thank you for waiting, Miss Customer
  81. Please be careful, it's very hot
  82.  
  83. I've been watching you for a while, you put on a good show with this job
  84.  
  85. Huh?
  86.  
  87. I like you!!
  88.  
  89. Shopkeeper!! Let me get takeout on this kid here!!
  90.  
  91. ---
  92.  
  93. Eh!? Wait
  94.  
  95. What's going on here!?
  96.  
  97. ...And that's how I suddenly got scouted for this...
  98.  
  99. S...So that's how it went...
  100. It sounds unbelievable, but it's exactly like something Mama would do...!!
  101.  
  102. I was also surprised, since I knew who Hidaka Mai-san was immediately...
  103.  
  104. But Mai-san never knew I was Ai-chan's former manager
  105.  
  106. Something like that...
  107.  
  108. But you know... With this kind of work now
  109.  
  110. I'm glad I get to follow along with Ai-chan's work, too...
  111.  
  112. ---
  113.  
  114. I see... You got dragged into working for Mama
  115.  
  116. ...But...
  117.  
  118. In that case... do it for me!!
  119.  
  120. I'm a popular idol now!! Isn't it okay to work for me!?
  121.  
  122. That's why... That's why, please come back!!
  123.  
  124. I can't stand to be on the opposite side as Manami-san!!
  125.  
  126. ---
  127.  
  128. Ai-chan...
  129.  
  130. I'm sorry... I can't do that right now...
  131.  
  132. Of course Ai-chan is important to me...
  133. But right now I need to take care of Mai-san
  134.  
  135. It'd be selfish of me if I broke my promise, if I left there'd be no one to look after her...
  136. That person will cause trouble if she's left unsupervised
  137.  
  138. ---
  139.  
  140. It'd be a big mess if I left her alone in a TV station
  141. That'd be embarassing for Ai-chan, too, right?
  142.  
  143. But... But...
  144. I want Manami-san, too...
  145.  
  146. Manami~n, I finished changing clothes, where do we go now?
  147.  
  148. Ah, yes, wait just a moment please!
  149.  
  150. There's actually a meeting before the recording...
  151.  
  152. Ah, Manami-sa...
  153.  
  154. Well, see you later, Ai-chan
  155.  
  156. I'm always cheering for you
  157.  
  158. ---
  159.  
  160. (What, what? You know Ai?)
  161.  
  162. (Yes, it's true...)
  163.  
  164. Stop it...
  165.  
  166. The things that keep happening, I want them to stop...
  167.  
  168. Manami-san was supposed to come back once I became an amazing idol...!!
  169.  
  170. ---
  171.  
  172. I couldn't win
  173.  
  174. I couldn't win against Mama's talent!!!
  175.  
  176. Alright, today there is an event at the dome for a TV station's 50th anniversary...
  177.  
  178. Ai was specially requested from the top...
  179.  
  180. ---
  181.  
  182. W...What's wrong? You started trembling for some reason... The wind?
  183.  
  184. That's wrong!!
  185.  
  186. My body is burning up
  187.  
  188. Like my blood is boiling!!
  189.  
  190. Because today all I want to do is sing and sing and sing until I can't sing anymore!!!
  191.  
  192. I...I see...
  193.  
  194. When I'm this motivated I don't even need to think, there's nothing that can stop me!!
  195.  
  196. Yeah!!
  197.  
  198. ---
  199.

  209.  
  210. It's time for me to start
  211.  
  212. My own story
  213.  
  214. Uwah... Today Ai-chan is really eager, huh
  215.  
  216. Why so loud...?
  217.

  243.  
  244. ---
  245.  
  246. (Ai-chan)
  247. (Waaaaa)
  248.  
  249. Ha
  250. Ha
  251.  
  252. Ha
  253.  
  254. It's over...
  255. It's over, but...
  256.  
  257. I still don't know what to do
  258. My breathing hasn't gone back to normal...
  259.  
  260. ---
  261.  
  262. The event is already over
  263.  
  264. But my heart is still pounding...!
  265.  
  266. I want to do more... I want to sing more...!!
  267.  
  268. Uu...
  269.  
  270. What do I do
  271.  
  272. Uwaaaah
  273.  
  274. My emotions just won't calm down!!
  275.  
  276. ---
  277.  
  278. Uwaaaan
  279.  
  280. Aaaaaah
  281.  
  282. This girl here
  283. What's wrong?
  284.  
  285. ---
  286.  
  287. I was getting worried looking for you
  288.  
  289. This has
  290.  
  291. Happened before, huh?
  292.  
  293. ---
  294.  
  295. Ha...
  296. Ha...
  297.  
  298. Haruka-san!!?
  299.  
  300. It's been a while, Ai-chan!! Have you been well?
  301.  
  302. O...Of course I've been fine!!
  303. Um, since then I've been following in your footsteps, Haruka-san
  304.  
  305. Yep, I saw on TV that Ai-chan has become successful!
  306.  
  307. I've been watching all of Ai-chan's events until now
  308. I'm surprised how powerful you've become!
  309.  
  310. ---
  311.  
  312. Eeeh!? You were watching...!!
  313. I'm sorry, I never noticed...!!
  314.  
  315. You say it like it's a serious issue
  316.  
  317. Because Haruka-san was my most important benefactor
  318. I haven't even thanked you properly before...
  319.  
  320. There's no need for such thanks! I only helped a little bit!
  321.  
  322. But if it wasn't for Haruka-san I wouldn't even have become an idol!!
  323.  
  324. ...I'm glad, though! It looks like my hunch was correct
  325.  
  326. On that day when I saw Ai-chan singing happily
  327.  
  328. I thought this kid had a lot of potential
  329.  
  330. ---
  331.  
  332. But I had nothing to do with being able to stand on the same stage
  333.  
  334. Ehe, no way...
  335.  
  336. Um, Haruka-san, what do you mean the same stage...?
  337.  
  338. Huh? Don't tell me you didn't hear about it?
  339.  
  340. ---
  341.  
  342. Ai-chan's next audition
  343.  
  344. I've been invited
  345.  
  346. Eh
  347.  
  348. Eeeeeh
  349.  
  350. Ai must now compete with Haruka as well! What will she do!?
