"Hah~" is the relieved sigh she produces once she knows her microphone is off, before handing it over to the staff with a bow. Before she can walk too far away though, she squeaks into a few laughs at getting pats on the back from Mio. "Mio, stop~! It feels like you're pounding the music into me!"
"Well, I can't help praising you so much, huh?" Mio says with the biggest grin on her face, before wrapping Uzuki in a huge hug, nuzzling into her shoulder. "Performing as New Generations never gets old, huh Shimamu~?"
Uzuki giggles at the hug, free hands going up to hold Mio's arms and nod, the look on her face softening. "Mm! I love it when we're able to perform together again like this! Even if we have so many of our own projects and everything, being close with you two and singing our songs together...It makes me so happy~"
"Shimamu..." Mio's much more hushed voice lets out, before hugging her tighter. "Mm! I feel the exact same way! But..." Trailing off, Mio loosens the hug, her hands falling to hold Uzuki's sides as Uzuki tenses slightly in anticipation...Before laughing uncontrollably at the tickle attack she receives. "If you end up getting too mushy like that, you're gonna make both of us cry, y'know?! And this is no moment for tears; give me that powerful smile instead!"
"M-Mio! W-Wait, stop, I can't breathe~!" Uzuki tries to speak in between laughs, grinning from ear to ear, wiggling around to try and escape Mio's grasp. After about a minute of this game, she finally does escape, taking a few giant steps down the corridor...And nearly landing face first into someone. She stops herself just before their chest, and realization dawns quick as a blush rises to her cheeks. "A-Ah, I'm so sorry!" She stumbles out, taking a step back to look over the person in full, and also make sure she doesn't run into the monitors beside them. Glancing at the screen and smiling at Mellow Yellow starting to greet the audience, she turns back towards the person in front of her. "You're -"
"Oooooh, the producer for Wizards! Thanks for your hard work!" Mio's cheery voice chimes in beside Uzuki, who lets out another noise of surprise, before giving a quick bow and then slapping Uzuki on the back on the way back up. "Shimamu, I'm gonna get a water and some melon bread to snack on before my next song. Do you want anything?"
Uzuki can't help but relax and smile wider at the nonchalant girl, before shaking her head. "Mm mm, I'll get something later. Thank you though." She says with a forehead beading with sweat, which causes Mio to ruffle her hair and warn her to not work too hard, producing another laugh and heartfelt moment. Uzuki waves Mio off after that, watching her for a moment, before turning back to the producer. "Thank you for your hard work." said in a more proper bow, ever the good girl she was. Standing up straighter afterwards, she looks back at the screen as Mellow Yellow starts Kawaii make MY day!, her heart already bopping to the cute beat. Smile as warm as the sun, her superpower on full display for the new audience of one.
"Ah, producer-san, do you want a chair?" Uzuki asks after a moment, getting out of the trance she was in. She wonders how long they've been standing here like this, or how much they've been running around all day, watching over all of their boys in the same way her producer watched over all the Cinderella Girls...It warms her heart, but it does make her worry over them a bit too. "Do you need a snack or anything too? I can go get you something really quick!"
