We'll meet again, I know it.

Ru-chan, I had that
same dream again.

00:00:31,930 --> 00:00:33,760
Who in the world is she?

Monochrome-sama, I replaced

12
00:00:53,390 --> 00:00:54,690
Thank you, Mana-chan.

13
00:00:55,510 --> 00:00:57,410
I don't deserve your gratitude!

14
00:00:57,970 --> 00:01:02,480
You took me in after I was
abandoned under a bridge.

15
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,710
So I am truly grateful!

16
00:01:04,710 --> 00:01:07,170
Please don't hesitate to ask anything of me!

17
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,620
Kikuko is very popular, isn't she?

18
00:01:18,620 --> 00:01:20,760
I'm an idol, too, and yet...

19
00:01:21,860 --> 00:01:23,800
I want to be eye-catching like Kikuko.

20
00:01:24,290 --> 00:01:27,020
I want to be a popular idol,

21
00:01:27,020 --> 00:01:29,560
and stand out more.

22
00:01:30,860 --> 00:01:34,580
If I do that, she'll find me, and we'll meet...

24
00:01:35,740 --> 00:01:39,840
Mana-chan, how does one go
about getting work as an idol?

25
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:44,110
Let me see... I think that
an idol needs a manager!

26
00:01:44,110 --> 00:01:46,080
A manager who will get you work!

27
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,740
A manager...

28
00:01:47,740 --> 00:01:49,910
I'll be your manager!

29
00:01:49,910 --> 00:01:51,960
I'll work my hardest for you!

30
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,960
That makes me happy. Thank you.

31
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,650
There's no need to thank me.

32
00:01:56,650 --> 00:01:59,880
In that case, Manager
Mana-chan, get me work.

33
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:01,630
Yes! First...

34
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,220
Please give me 19.3 billion yen!

35
00:02:05,220 --> 00:02:05,890
Understood.

I'm worried, Ru-chan.

How am I going to be an idol now?

44
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,280
Sorry! Are you hurt?

45
