The day of Sena's swimsuit photoshoot—

Sena: I’m heading out for work!

Ayako: Alright, take care. Look out for Mona too, okay?

Sena: She left first thing in the morning, didn’t she? I’ll get a picture of the both of us, if I’m able to.

Ayako: Okay, got it. Oh right, take this, Sena.

Sena: …What’s with the smoothie?

Ayako: A smoothie will give you the energy you need while helping you to maintain your figure, right?

Sena: Oh, Mom…! Thank you!

Sena: (I must definitely do well in today’s shoot…!)

Sena: Wow! It’s the sea…! It’s so pretty…!

Sena: (They have already started taking pictures of the other models. I’ve got to get ready as soon as I can too.)

Sena: (I’m getting nervous…)

Photographer: Hello Narumi.

Sena: Ah… Good morning! I look forward to working with you today.

Photographer: Likewise.

Photographer: The theme of this year’s swimsuit feature is “A True-to-Life Girl”, so there’s no need to push yourself past your limits, Narumi. All you have to do is to be yourself, okay?

Sena: Got it…!

Sena: (It’s just as Midori said…! I’m fine just the way I am.)

Manager: Then, Sena, please change into this…

Manager: …Huh? What happened? You don’t seem to be as nervous about the shoot as I thought, huh?

Sena: …Yup! My worries have been completely eased up!

~~~

Photographer: Okay! Now, please look my way!

Sena: Got it!

Photographer: Now, turn your back to me—

Photographer: Okay, this’ll be the last shot!

Photographer: Thank you for your hard work! You did really well!

Sena: Thank you very much!

~~~

Sena: (Ah—! That was so much fun!)

Sena: (We wrapped up earlier than scheduled, huh… I wonder if Mona’s still in the middle of her filming.)

Manager: Hey Sena, you’re going to meet up with your little sister, aren’t you? I know it’s a little early, but it looks like you’ll have free time as of now.

Staff: Eh? Sena’s little sister is here? I wanna see her!

Photographer: This part of the beach is kept out of bounds to others, so feel free to play around as much as you want! 

Sena: Wow…! Is it really okay?!

Photographer: Yup, yup. It was a joy to work with you today, you know?

Photographer: Your expressions completely changed from one moment to the next, to the point where I had found myself totally entranced as I snapped away with my camera.

Photographer: I’m truly glad that we had extended the modelling offer to you.

Sena: (I’m so happy… I never expected her to tell me such words.)

Sena: Um, allow me to thank you too! I’m absolutely looking forward to working with you again, should the opportunity arise!

Sena: (I wanna tell everyone about my shoot as soon as I can… Wait, huh?)

Mona: Hey, Big Sis! 

Sena: Mona!

Mona: Are you done with your shoot? I’m done with mine, so I came right over to find you.

Sena: You’ve got great timing! I was just about to give you a call.

Sena: These are the staff members who I had worked with for today’s shoot.

Sena: And, everyone, this is my sister, Mona.

Sena: She’s an idol, but she’s just so cute…

Mona: Stop it, Big Sis! You’re embarrassing me!

Mona: I’m truly sorry that my sister is such an idiot. But, well, I still really love her too, despite that.

Photographer: Haha, you two get along so well. Please feel free to spend as much time as you’d like here!
