After several complications, Rurino has joined the School Idol Club. She dreams of performing with her childhood friend, Fujishima Megumi, but Megumi has vanished from the club.
Thanks, Ruri-chan. These shoes are super cute!
Hey so, Megu-chan… I’ve been slowly making more and more friends too!
I’ve been trying really hard. That way, one day, I’ll be able to send smiles to you too, Megu-chan.
Hm, hm… But I’m getting further and further ahead, you know? As long as I’ve got these shoes from you, I feel like I can run to the ends of the earth!
W-Well…! Then, I’ll just have to go hard, too!
I’ll go abroad and get big! Then I can take a plane to catch up to you real quick!
Yeah. And then we can have fun together again!
Yeah! Let’s have fun together again, Megu-chan! I’ll definitely catch up to you!
Yeah.
I’ll be waiting!
HelloMegu! Hello to all fifty million soldiers of the Megu Army! It’s me, Fujishima Megumi! How are you all today?
Oh? Did you all miss me~?
Oh, it’s her!
She was at the Nadeshiko Festival last year…
And she also came to check up on Kozue-senpai when she was in the nurse’s office!
Megu-chan is my childhood friend.
She asked me before, actually. She told me how fun being a school idol was, and that we should do it together.
But…
Yeah… I’ve never personally seen her with the club at all.
… You know, she just stopped talking about herself at some point.
Whenever I’d ask, she’d dodge the question. I always thought it was kinda weird…
I didn’t think it was because she wasn’t coming to the club anymore… What happened, Megu-chan…?
I’ve been super busy editing videos lately, so I haven’t been able to stream much… Sorry~.
But I’ve been keeping all of you in my thoughts. I love you all ☆
So when you mentioned going to the second year’s classrooms, Rurino-san…
Yeah. Well, I didn’t see her, though. Or maybe she’s avoiding me…
And then I almost quit the club before I even saw her…
But I’m okay now, because you all accepted me.
So if she has a reason, I’d like to hear it.
Megu-chan used to always talk about how fun being a school idol is, so...
Even if I’m a little intimidated to meet with her… I’m sure I’ll be able to help her!
And I… I want to be a school idol together with Megu-chan!
Senpai…
…You’re right. I should tell you about her, Rurino-san.
…Yeah.
Megumi… Fujishima Megumi-san will most likely not be returning to the School Idol Club.
Huh…?
At the Rindo Festival last year, she fell from the stage and suffered an injury. And although she has already fully recovered from her injury…
Fully recovered…? I remember hearing that she quit performing because of her injury.
Then why…?
Megumi is…
…Ever since then, whenever she would get up on stage, her legs would freeze up. She couldn’t dance anymore.
So she stopped being a school idol.
…!
I… I have to go see her!
Ah, Rurino-chan!
W-We’ll go after her!
So this… is Megumi-senpai’s room?
So you already looked into this, huh, Rurino-san…
…
Megu-chan. Megu-chan… Open up, please. It’s Ruri.
Ruri-chan. Long time no see.
I’m sorry. I didn’t come see you even when you came back to the country.
That’s not really a big deal…
…Why?
Why didn’t you tell me!? Why didn’t you say anything about getting injured or not being able to dance anymore!?
We said we’d be school idols together, didn’t we!? So why have you been hiding this from me!?
…You’ll bother the other students if you shout in the hallway, Ruri-chan.
M-Megu-chan…?
Sorry, there were a bunch of things I had to do this week, so I’m a little tired.
Kaho-chan, Sayaka-chan…
Oh, yes…?
W-What is it?
Your performance at the Nadeshiko Festival was really good. Alright, bye.
M-Megu-chan! What about... our…
…
I’ve always wanted to be like Megu-chan.
Whenever we tried out new things, she would always run ahead of me.
It’s really strange. Even back then, whenever I was alone with Megu-chan, I’d never run out of battery.
I decided to study abroad in California because of her.
It always seemed like she could run anywhere she wanted to, so I wanted to catch up to her.
So I was really happy when she asked me to become a school idol with her.
I thought that I could have fun with Megu-chan again.
But I… I never even noticed how much she was hurting…
B-But!
That’s no way to talk to someone! You went out of your way to meet with her, and she just shoos you away!?
What kind of long-awaited reunion is that!? So rude!
Yeah… But, it was also my fault for suddenly showing up, so…
But, but! …Um… sorry…
Maybe… maybe she doesn’t like school idols anymore…
…I’m not so sure about that.
Sayaka-chan?
I took a look at Megumi-senpai’s channel. I noticed she’d uploaded a new video very recently, actually.
With that said, it’s time to look back on the last semester of the Hasunosora School Idol Club!
Did you know? Otomune Kozue and Yugiri Tsuzuri finally performed on stage together again! It was such an amazing performance, right!?
That wasn’t that long ago…
Megumi-senpai knows quite a lot about you and me, too.
…So she’s cheering us on?
I believe that if she truly hated the School Idol Club…
She wouldn’t spare all this time and effort to make these videos.
Megu-chan…
Y’know… Tsuzuri-senpai mentioned that it was because of the shock of her accident, right?
That she’s fully recovered from her injury.
Yes.
So that means… If we can motivate her, she might be able to dance again, right?
Then… I want to try.
I won’t give up like that ever again!
I won’t say that I want to quit the club! I definitely want Megu-chan to be a school idol again!
But how…?
I have a great idea, actually!
I call it… The Grand Megu-chan Flaring Fire Plan!
