The STARRY PLANET☆ girls go over their profiles, including their specialties, dislikes, recent interests, etc.

Bloomy＊Cafe
Shiori is taking dance lessons in preparation for the Planet Trend Fest when Hana arrives, wanting to show her something. Hana leads her to a cafe that she has recently opened up, having wanted a place where she could be closer to her fans. The girls consider that the space could also be used as a venue for various kinds of events.

Hana follows up by asking Shiori to help with running the cafe, reminiscing about when they used to play pretend shopkeepers as kids. Though fond of the memory, Shiori is apprehensive since she's already busy. Hana attempts to compromise by offering Shiori reduced working hours, imploring her to undergo a trial run for one day.

An amused Shiori is reminded of when Izumi first scouted Mao to become Hana just for one day, only for Mao to continue doing so anyway. She ultimately agrees to working at the cafe, wanting to place books throughout so customers can read at their leisure. The pair resolve to serve happiness in full bloom at the newly established "Bloomy＊Cafe".
