Having overcome the injury from her past, Megumi has returned to the School Idol Club. Determined to make a fresh start, she heads alone to the club room with a “certain secret plan” in mind…
Rurino:
Mnnng…
Megumi:
Oh, sorry. Did I wake you up?
Rurino:
What are you doing, Megu-chan…?
Rurino:
Oh, the video from our mini-show, huh~. You’ve been at that since yesterday…
Megumi:
Yeah, I wanted to get it done as soon as possible. If the inn can start using it for advertising in the morning, then they might get more guests in the evening.
Rurino:
You’re such a hard worker, Megu-chan…
Rurino:
But if you work too hard, you might run out of battery, you know.
Megumi:
…I spent a whole year recharging. I can’t just keep taking it easy.
Megumi:
Kozue and Tsuzuri have been working really hard. That’s why I have to at least do what I can for Hasunosora.
Rurino:
What you can… huh…
Megumi:
Yeah?
Rurino:
…Nah, don’t worry about it. Mmph.
Megumi:
Hm? Why are you sitting there? If you want to go back to sleep, you should take the futon.
Rurino:
I figured I ought to do what I can, too~. Well, best I can do is to give you someone to talk to, though.
Megumi:
Yeah… Thanks, Ruri-chan.
Rurino:
Oh, does that mean you want me to be your cheerleader~?
M-E-G-U, Megu-chan! Fight, fight, Megu-chan! The cutest girl in the world, Megu-chan!
Megumi:
Sure… I’m happy to hear it, but it’d be too distracting right now.
Megumi:
There we go! Done! And… uploaded!
Rurino:
Great job~!
Megumi:
Wait, huh!? It’s already time to check out!? We still need to say goodbye to the inn staff, so we need to pack up and go quick!
Rurino:
Hehehe, already taken care of! I prepared your outfit for today right over there, too!
Megumi:
Love you, Ruri-chan!
Megumi:
Sorry I’m late!
Kozue:
No worries. Excellent work finishing your editing right on time.
Megumi:
Hm… How did you… Ruri-chan!?
Rurino:
Not necessarily! But yes, it was me this time.
Megumi:
Argh!
Tsuzuri:
I watched it earlier. It was really good.
Kaho:
The receptionist was really happy to be a part of the advertising, too!
Sayaka:
She told us that we should definitely come again.
Megumi:
R-Really? Well, it was a piece of cake for me!
Rurino:
She started yesterday, though~
Megumi:
Alright, time to play the be-quiet game! Next time you say something like that, I’ll reveal an embarrassing story from grade school!
Rurino:
Oh, you wanna go there!? I have tons of stories from grade school, too!
Megumi:
Grrr…
Kaho:
Ahaha, childhood friends sure seem nice.
Tsuzuri:
Maybe I’ll go make some childhood friends too.
Sayaka:
That’s not how it works. They’re called “childhood” friends for a reason.
Tsuzuri:
No way… not even with you, Saya…?
Kozue:
Not even with Sayaka-san.
Sayaka:
All I can do is make delicious stew, after all… No, wait, there’s other stuff I can do, too!
Kozue:
Now then, everyone. Let’s thank the inn staff and check out.
We should be graceful to the very end, so that they may contact the students of Hasunosora again someday.
Kaho:
Okay~!
Sayaka:
Without further ado…
Kaho, Sayaka, Kozue, Tsuzuri, Rurino & Megumi:
Thank you for having us!
Megumi:
The first years decided to do some sightseeing until the bus arrives. In the meantime, we decided to take it easy at a cafe. It’s nice, but…
Tsuzuri:
It’s like we’re moms dealing with our kids, huh…
Megumi:
Don’t say stuff like that. We’re still second years, you know.
Kozue:
Once we get back, we’ll be heading straight for our performance in the city. We should rest until then.
After all, there are still plenty of things to do at the venue.
Kozue:
And I’d say you of all people should be resting, Megumi.
Megumi:
Huh?
Kozue:
You’ve worked very hard throughout our time at the inn. I could only imagine the amount of preparation you had to do.
Megumi:
Well… Look, I did it just for myself. It wasn’t for anyone else, alright!
Megumi:
The Love Live! regionals are coming up soon, so I wanted to get everyone motivated for them!
I can’t have anyone from my school lose there!
Kozue:
Hmhm, I see. Now then, I wonder how this year’s competition will go…
Tsuzuri:
I’m sure we have a chance at winning. This year, we have Megu, and all the others.
Kozue:
…I suppose so. Thank you, Tsuzuri.
Megumi:
I’m amazed you can say that so easily.
Tsuzuri:
You’re amazing too, Megu. You’re totally different when you’re in front of the camera.
Megumi:
Don’t say that as if I’m pretending to be someone else! It’s like I’m wearing different clothes or different makeup; that doesn’t make it any less me!
Tsuzuri:
But you’re still cute even when you’re not recording.
Megumi:
Well, adding some cuteness on top of cuteness makes everyone happy, right?
That’s why I have to show everyone my cute, cool, and perfect self☆
Kozue:
That reminds me of how you used to teach us last year.
I remember how you taught us to present our best selves on stage and in our livestreams.
Megumi:
But I remember you butting heads with me every time, asking if this was really something school idols should do.
Tsuzuri:
I used to listen and wonder about it too. Oh right, you two haven’t had a big voice match in a while, huh?
Kozue:
…Is that what you call our arguments??
Megumi:
I mean, I don’t think it really matters that much now.
As long as you’re sincerely considering how to ensure everyone watching us is having fun, it’s no problem.
Kozue:
Hmhm, you might be right. But what made you realize that?
Megumi:
Well, I had to follow everyone’s streams for the past year to make my videos, even when I didn’t want to.
…If they were boring, I would have stopped halfway through.
Megumi:
…Talking about this stuff makes me feel old, I don’t like it…
Tsuzuri:
You’re all grown up, Megu.
Megumi:
Stop it! I already told you I don’t like it!
Kozue:
Hmhm.
Kozue:
It wasn’t quite so simple, though.
Parts of what you said at the time were correct, but some of what I wouldn’t back down on were as well.
But I think that’s good. Learning from the best parts of your partners is what lets you grow as a school idol.
Megumi:
But I still wanna see you act all cutesy, Kozue. I’m sure you’d be popular!
Kozue:
I-I can’t act like you!
Megumi:
But Tsuzuri sure could~. Riiiight~?
Tsuzuri:
Yeah~. HelloTsuzu~. Everyone’s super cute Tsuzu-chan here~.
Kozue:
Your delivery’s still stiff!
Megumi:
If I look hard enough, I could probably find a picture from back then. That one time you had twintails and ribbons…
Kozue:
No. Absolutely not.
Megumi:
But Megu-chan wants to see~☆
Tsuzuri:
Tsuzu-chan wants to see, too~
Kozue:
Quit it!
Kaho:
S-Senpai–!
Kozue:
Kaho-san? N-No, I won’t do it even if you ask, okay?
Kaho:
Um! U-Um!
Megumi:
Huh?
Kaho:
There’s trouble at the inn!
