I'm sorry... I can't.
I'm too scared...

Yeah... Of course you are.

Manager
I messaged you. You're never late.
Arale
I'm so sorry I'm late!
Manager
Hm?
Arale
A bunch of stuff came up,
and I kinda lost track of time dealing with it all~
Nonoka
Huh?
Arale-chan, what's wrong?
Arale
My throat's just a little off today.
Hehe...
Manager
I see.
I've got some throat lozenges I swear by. I'll tell you about them later.
Manager
All right, now that everyone's here, let's get our regular meeting started.
Everyone
Okaaay!
Manager
As I said earlier, Fuji-san has to get back
to work after this, so let's cover the online live show first.
Yuno
Nakamachi-san... I thought you didn't want to do a live show.
Manager
I think it's time we started nailing down the details.
Nonoka
Nono-chan's gonna practice her heart out!
Manager
That's the spirit!
Fuji-san, how are your deadlines looking?
Manager
Good.
Let's go over your schedule together later, just to be safe.
Yuno
I'll handle the music, but who's writing the lyrics?
Manager
Nakamachi-san, think you can write the lyrics?
Manager
No go, huh?
That's a shame. I really like your lyrics, Nakamachi-san.
Manager
Well, I'll see if one of our in-house creators can take this one.
Arale
I'm sorry,
but I need to take a break from practice for a while!
Manager
She's clearly not okay...
Manager
Does anyone know what's going on?
Miyako
I haven't heard anything...
Manager
Hmm...
Yuno
(Did all that baggage finally catch up with her?)
Yuno
(That video...
I hope this has nothing to do with it.)

Raki
Oh! Arale-chan!
Raki
That friend of yours we met the other day...
She's in a group too, huh?
Bota
It popped up in my recommendations.
Raki
Here, this one!
Bota
It says they're having an event this weekend.
Raki
Looks like it's at Suzunare.
Are you going, Arale-chan?
Arale
Th-This weekend? There's a Magilulu marathon on, so~
Bota
Oh, right! Did you see the new character for this summer's movie?!
Bota
I can't wait for it to come out~
Arale
I've gotta rewatch the whole series first!
Raki
Good point!
Arale
Ahaha... Well, see you~
Raki & Bota
Bye-bye~
Arale
Nono-chan-san...?!
Nonoka
Nono-chan came to chat with you, Arale-chan!
Arale
You're here because I asked to take a break from practice, right?!
I knew you'd be worried. I'm sorry!
Arale
It's nothing serious!
I just feel bad showing up only to sit there while everyone else practices.
Arale
And I've let my homework pile up!
School comes first for a student, right?!
Arale
So I thought I'd get caught up on all that first...
Hehe...
Nonoka
A cuddle or a kiss! Pick one!
Raki
A kiss...
Bota
Cattle? Like cows?
Arale
U-Um... I have a train to catch!
Excuse me!

Arale
(Oh no, oh no, oh no!)
Arale
(That was Nono-chan-san's first aid...
She knows something's wrong.)
Arale
(It hurts...
I thought maybe time would heal it, but...)
Arale
(No... It hasn't.
I thought being with everyone had made it hurt a little less...)
Arale
(What happened back then... and what happened yesterday...)

Viola
That photo shoot for the CD bonus was fun, wasn't it♡
Viola
I've never seen you in a maid outfit before, Ritsu.
You're usually the cool, princely Clematis.
Viola
Think yours will be the rare photo card this time?
Viola
Maybe you can't hear me?
Boooring.
Viola
Oh! If you won't talk to me, Ritsu,
maybe I'll go have a little chat with your precious Arale-chan...
Viola
Hehe. That's the face I wanted to see.
Viola
Let's keep this up for tomorrow's event too, okay♡
Viola
It's our very first event, after all.
I want lots and lots of people to come.
Viola
Make sure you give the event a proper plug on tonight's stream, Ritsu.
I sent you a Fairy Bouquet-themed setlist.
Viola
Good girl, good girl.
Viola
You're so well-behaved. Nothing like Arale-chan♡

Ritsu
Thank you very much for watching today's stream.
Ritsu
Tomorrow at 1:00 p.m., Fairy Bouquet will hold a release event
for our 1st Visual Book
at Suzunare's first-floor event space.
Ritsu
Admission is free, so we'd love for you to join us.
We hope to see you there. Thank you, and take care.

"Clematis forgot to end her stream."
"She's playing an Elea song"...

Okay... "Complicated" doesn't even begin to cover this...

Hmm-hmm♪
Viola
I'm sorry to call so late.
Viola
Yes. Clematis's stream
was part of a promotion to draw a crowd for tomorrow's event.
Viola
Yes, we made it look like she'd forgotten to end the stream.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner...
Viola
Yes. Of course. Good night.

I'm Popo.
Hope you all have fun today.
Ritsu
I'm Clematis.
Thank you all for coming today.
Viola
I can't believe so many of you came...
I'm starting to feel a little nervous.
Bell
Right?! So many flesh-and-blood humans!
Popo
What does that even mean?
The Audience
Hahaha!
Arale
(I can't do anything to help, but...)
Bell
Today we've got our "Anything Goes" Q&A, where we'll answer your questions,
plus the meet-and-greet and more!
Popo
We've got plenty in store for you today, but first, a major announcement!
Viola
Thanks to all your support...
we're releasing our very first single!
The Audience
Wooooo!

Viola
Elea-chaaaan! Thanks so much for coming!
Audience A
Huh? Who's that?
Audience B
Elea?!
Viola
It's been sooo long! I never thought you'd actually come.
I'm so happy...
Viola
Oh!
Since you're here, come on up!
Viola
There's something I've regretted for a long time.
Popo
Over here.
Bell
Hurry uuuup!
Viola
Elea-chan and...
Oh, right. You're Arale-chan now.
Viola
Clematis... I know how you really feel.
You want to make up with Arale-chan too, don't you?
Viola
Watching your stream yesterday confirmed it.
So...
Viola
I want you and Arale-chan to make up, Clematis!
Viola
Come on, sing yesterday's song together
and make up right here!
Popo
What an honor to witness such a historic moment~
Bell
The two of them... They used to be friends,
but they had a big falling-out!
Ritsu
Viola, what are you doing...?
Viola
I'll go grab the guitar. Wait right here!
Bell
Ooh, a surprise performance!
Popo
Guess this is what makes an event special.

Arale
What am I doing?!
Arale
I just dragged Ricchan away from their event!!
Arale
Poaching?! Kidnapping?! Theft?!
Arale
I'm a thieee
eeef?!
Arale
What do I do?! They might sue me!
How did this even happen?! I really messed up!
Arale
I'm scared... I don't know what to do.
Why... Why does everything always end up like this...?
Arale
What do I do...?!
Ricchan, I... I never meant for this...
Arale
Oh!
Ricchan, you can still go back...
Ritsu
Thank you...
for getting me out of there.
Ritsu
Hey, Arale-chan... You used "boku" just now...
Arale
Huh?! Boku... I mean, watashi... boku...
Arale
Did I say "boku"?
Ritsu
Yeah.
When you call yourself "watashi," it feels like you're someone else...
Arale
Because!
I thought I had to change, so I made myself say "watashi"!
Arale
I kept telling myself you were happy now...
and tried not to think about it too much...
Arale
Honestly... I'm still scared.
Scared of having anything to do with V-Viola...
Arale
And sometimes... I'm still scared of people looking at me...
Arale
But that's exactly why I wanted to help you, Ricchan...!
Arale
But I didn't know how,
and I never meant for any of this to happen... I don't even know what we should do next...
Ritsu
Then let's figure it out together!
Arale
I get things wrong all the time...
and I'm getting this wrong too...
Ritsu
But even if this is a mistake... I don't care anymore.
Arale
Somehow... if I'm making a mistake with you, Ricchan, it doesn't feel quite so scary.
Arale
I'm a mess of mistakes... but I'm still me.
Arale
So I'm gonna do what I want to do!
