| Tsuzuru | I see, so something like that happened. |
| Sakuya | Yes. So it was decided that Ikura would perform with us! |
| Still, we would be out of our depth if it were just us, so it looks like the staff will be working together with us. |
| Izumi | The plan is for the performing members to use the aquarium after this to interact with the penguins and practice for the show. |
| Tsuzuru | I see. I need to finish the script soon too, huh? |
| Sakuya | Masumi-kun said that he will have to feed you ramen right before the deadline again. |
| Tsuzuru | Uh, I’d be grateful but… it’ll just be dried noodles anyway. |
| Izumi | Think you’ll finish the script soon? |
| Tsuzuru | Well, it has pretty much taken shape, but it feels somehow lacking… |
| A heart-pounding story’s difficult. |
| Muku | Oh? What’s going on, guys? |
| Izumi | Ah, that’s right! How about asking Muku-kun for advice? |
| Sakuya | It’s true that Muku-kun knows a lot about shoujo manga. |
| Muku | Huh? Eh? |
| |
| I get it… if I can be of help, I’d be glad to! |
| Tsuzuru | Thanks. That’d be helpful. |
| Muku | If you’re talking about stories that make your heart skip a beat, it has to be “After-school date with you”… I also really recommend that manga, and also that one…! |
| And page 73 of “Have heart-pounding, sweet dreams” has a famous scene that you could call a classic example for getting butterflies in your stomach! |
| Sakuya | As expected of Muku-kun…! |
| Muku | When Akito-senpai comes to pick them up, he’s really so cool and you get heart palpitations to the point that you can’t put it into words!! |
| …I mean, I, I’m sorry! I ended up chattering on all by myself… |
| Izumi | No, that was very promising. I’m sure this can be of help for the script. |
| Tsuzuru | Yeah, I’m depending on you, Muku. |
| Muku | Y-, yes! I’ll put my recommendations together and bring them to your room later, Tsuzuru-san. |
| Sakuya | Let’s make the collaboration with the penguins a sure success! |
| Muku | Yeah! |
| |
| Staff | Well then, for today, let’s start with having you interact with the penguins who will be performing and having you become friends. |
| Izumi | Alright! |
| Misumi | Nice to meet you, Engawa~.[1] |
| Azami | … Misumi-san, I’ll be depending on you with this and that. |
| Misumi | Engawa says it’s nice to meet us too~. |
| Yuki | Doing this with Arisu is making me uneasy though… |
| Homare | Negitoro-kun, we will be counting on you! [2] |
| Muku | Sakuya-kun, let’s do our best too! |
| Sakuya | Yeah! And Ikura too… |
| Ikura | …… |
| Izumi | Hmm, he’s looking the other way. |
| Misumi | “Leave me alone,” is what he’s saying~. |
| Izumi | D- does he really speak that way…? |
| Homare | He’s a pretty cool penguin, huh? |
| Azami | He kinda gives off the feeling like he might have a human or something contained in him. |
| Yuki | Will this no-good penguin really be okay? |
| Misumi | “I have no intention of getting friendly with you,” he said. |
| Yuki | Somehow, I feel like he bears a close resemblance to the hack from when we first met. |
| Izumi | Ahaha… |
| Staff | Well then, let’s review the events for the show with everyone. |
