| Sakuya | (What kind of play should I borrow this time?…) |
| Muku | …… |
| Sakuya | Oh? Over there is… |
| Muku | Ah, Sakuya-kun! |
| Sakuya | Did you come to borrow a book as well, Muku-kun? |
| Muku | Yeah! I wanted to research ocean animals… I was thinking of borrowing this “Illustrated book on marine creatures”. |
| I wanted to study even just for a bit for the sake of the performance at the aquarium. |
| Sakuya | As expected of you! |
| It looks like various animals appear in that illustrated book. Do you mind if I read it with you? |
| Muku | Of course not! Let’s read it together once we get back to the dorm! |
| |
| Izumi | Oh, what are you reading? |
| Muku | Ah, Director-san! We’re reading an illustrated book in which all sorts of sea animals are mentioned. |
| Sakuya | We thought it might be helpful for the performance at the aquarium. |
| Izumi | I see. You two are working hard. |
| Sakuya | Each animal is really cute, so rather than studying, we’re kind of just having fun reading. |
| Muku | That’s true. Even just looking at the pictures is soothing the soul… |
| Izumi | Ahaha. But that you’re able to learn something while having fun is most important. |
| Misumi | Thanks for waiting~! |
| Homare | We should get the meeting started then! |
| Yuki | Why are you so motivated? |
| Azami | It was originally Homare-san’s suggestion after all. |
| Izumi | (We ended up having these six perform this time, but… these are somehow unexpected members.) |
| Well then, since everyone’s gathered… |
| This time, we’ve arranged to do a collaboration with the penguin show Sakuya-kun and the others previously talked about. |
| In preparation for that, I had Tsuzuru-kun write us a general framework, but… |
| Yuki | …What is this? |
| Muku | “Ikepen ✰ Carnival” ……? |
| Homare | Well… “The ikepen show themselves off with all kinds of events to win over the heroine = audience”, it says… |
| Azami | Wi-, win over… |
| Izumi | All of you will be the penguins’ followers… it was decided that this is the setting for your performance. |
| Because it’s a show to sell the penguins, it was requested that we do another story that would have your heart pounding… |
| It appears they want to have a catchy subject that’s easy to understand, since there are a lot of families. |
| Homare | I see. Understood. |
| Sakuya | We hardly get to collab with animals, so I look forward to it! |
| Misumi | I wonder what the performance of the penguins will be like~? |
| Yuki | I hope it goes well. |
| Izumi | I’m planning to go to the aquarium sometime this week for a rehearsal, so clear your schedules. |
| Azami | Got it. |
| Muku | Wah, I’m excited! |
| Homare | Aquarium, aquarium~. In the middle of the pool, swimming smoothly and marvelous…! |
| Yuki | … Responding to this is a bother too. |
| Izumi | Ahaha… |
