## Địa điểm tổ chức tiệc

 **Saori:**Aagh, I'm so nervous... How did I get myself into this...

 **Rika:**That seems to be your catchphrase lately, Saori!

 **Saori:**Whose fault is that?!

 **Saori:**Even today, I got called out only to be told I'd be DJing at some party...

 **Marika:**Why are you so nervous anyway? It's not your first time DJing in front of people.

 **Dalia:**There are less people than in a nightclub, so it would seem like no big deal.

 **Saori:**Today's gig as a lounge DJ is quite different from working the main floor.

 **Saori:**We can't just play songs that will get people hyped, but that doesn't mean we can play songs that will kill the mood.

 **Rika:**What?! Let's play songs that will get the crowd hyped!

 **Saori:**We can't do that. For this DJ gig, we'll be in charge of the BGM.

 **Rika:**Hmm, there's more to DJing than I thought. Wow, Saori, to think you can do all that.

 **Saori:**Flattery will get you nowhere. Besides, there's no time for that.

 **Marika:**Gee, you really are nervous.

 **Dalia:**I wish there was something we could do to help...

 **Saori:**I'll figure something out. After all, we agreed to do it, so it's up to me.

 **Saori:**If I lean on you all the time, there's no point in my being here.

 **Rika:**Wow, Saori. That's really impressive! You have a lot of pride as a DJ!

 **Saori:**Rika... You could take a page out of my book!

 **Rika:**Okay...

 **Marika:**Hahaha♪

 **Saori:**See what you've done now, Rika?! Marika's acting strange.

 **Marika:**No, sorry, that's not it. I just think it's fun watching you and Rika together.

 **Marika:**It's not something I could have imagined when we first asked you to DJ for us, Saori.

 **Dalia:**Rika forced you into it, right? As I recall, that was at a party too?

 **Rika:**Yeah, you're right! It seems so long ago.

 **Saori:**I remember it like it was yesterday. I wonder what I had gotten myself into.

 **Saori:**That's probably why I get so nervous at parties...

 **Rika:**Oh, come on. Don't you think you're overreacting?

 **Saori:**Hey, it was a big deal for me, okay?

 **Saori:**A girl I recognized suddenly came up to me and dragged me into a DJ booth.

 **Saori:**Before I realized what was happening, I was forced to DJ in front of a large crowd. Talk about working up a nervous sweat!

 **Dalia:**Did you really feel that way?

 **Dalia:**When I saw you DJing, Saori, you looked like you were having a great time.

 **Saori:**No way. Absolutely not. I was frozen with nervousness.

 **Dalia:**Huh... In that case, you fooled me.

 **Dalia:**If I'd sensed how nervous you were, I wouldn't have enjoyed dancing as much as I did.

 **Marika:**Yeah, Dalia's right.

 **Marika:**Rika and I got so hyped by your DJing that we couldn't stop singing and dancing.

 **Saori:**No way. Absolutely not.

 **Rika:**Huh?! That's not even the half of it.

 **Rika:**You're amazing, Saori! You really are! Merm4id's DJ is world class!

 **Saori:**C-Come on, Rika, stop it! You're embarrassing me!

 **Rika:**Hehe, in that case, I win♪

 **Saori:**I didn't realize this was a competition!

 **Dalia:**Ha...hahaha!

 **Saori:**Not you too, Dalia?!

 **Dalia:**Sorry, I just can't help it. You two make a good pair.

 **Marika:**Don't they?! I totally agree!

 **Saori:**Hey, we're not comedians...

 **Rika:**Comedian DJs... That's something to consider...

 **Saori:**What's to consider?! That's not Merm4id's style!

 **Saori:**Oops, it's almost time for us! Let's hurry and get ready!

 **Dalia:**It's showtime. Are you still nervous?

 **Saori:**Of course...but I think I'll be fine.

 **Dalia:**Good.

 **Marika:**\*chuckle\* Good luck!

 **Rika:**Go get 'em, Saori!

 **Saori:**Sheesh... Whatever.

 **Saori:**But I guess it wouldn't hurt to show them a good time.

 **Saori:**I am Merm4id's DJ after all!
