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…
We’re screwed! There’s no end to this crowd!
It’s almost time for our performance too.
Where’s Kozue-senpai?
She’s so swamped she couldn’t leave… It’s just me…
What do we do, Megu-chan…?
I suggested switching out some of the more complicated dishes for more simple ones so they could reroute some of the kitchen staff elsewhere, but…
What!? No way! People want the most tasty food here!
…
I’m sorry, everyone. I’m very grateful you came back here. I know you’ve all worked so hard… but it looks like our time is up.
Megu-chan…?
Head back to the performance. I’ll stay behind.
Megumi-senpai…!
This was the plan from the very beginning.
Since I’m responsible for this, I have a responsibility to address it. That’s why this is the right thing to do.
This is the best possible solution for everyone.
I can’t keep causing more problems for you, the inn staff, or the people who came to watch us perform.
Besides, you’ve already done so much…
I can figure something out here. All of you really should–
This... this is wrong.
Wrong…?
I’ve been thinking that something felt off since you stayed behind the first time.
I think I finally get why.
Yeah. This isn’t like you at all, Megu-chan!
…E-Even if you say that, that doesn’t change the fact that I’m still Fujishima Megumi!
The Megu-chan I know would never sacrifice her own fun for anyone else!
H-Huh!? No way, that’d be way too selfish…!
There’s just no other way…
If anyone’s gonna have to do this, then it’s gotta be me! I can do anything, after all!
…But even if you were that good, there’s no way only one person could do all this. You can see how hard it already is with the six of us.
But…
And besides that, no one can be replaced by someone else. Just like how Saya is Saya, Megu is Megu.
But… Look, it’s my fault, so…!
That’s why! Let’s come up with something that’ll work for everyone, okay?
You’re good at figuring that stuff out, right? That’s your role, Megu-chan!
My…
The kitchen is almost finished with dinner preparations, so we should be more free after that.
Oh, right! Earlier, the receptionist mentioned that there should be some people from the nearby inns coming to help out soon!
Once we’re past the check-in rush, the front desk should be able to take it from there!
What do you think, Megu?
…Maybe I really wasn’t acting like myself.
What Ruri-chan said earlier was right. I felt like I really had to do something.
Until recently, I forced all my responsibilities onto Kozue and Tsuzuri, so I was convinced I needed to make up for it.
Megu-chan…
But you’re right. This isn’t like me at all.
Normally, I’d make sure to choose a way where everyone can have fun. So…
I’m going to the venue.
I’ll buy us some time until you make it over.
Huh!? All by yourself!?
But we have no way of knowing when we’ll be able to get over there…! It’s reckless!
You’d be right… if it were anyone else.
I can just do what I usually do in my streams up on stage. I’ll get everyone in that venue to have fun.
Megu-chan!
I’ll handle it! This is my role, you know!
Yeah. I’m shocked you figured it out so quickly. I think this is the right call.
Don’t act so smug!
Your livestreams are always so energetic, cheerful, and dazzling…
I always feel so revitalized whenever I watch them, so you’ll be okay, Megumi-senpai!
We’ll be there as soon as we can!
Leave it to me!
I’m gonna make every single one of those people fall in love with me!
Alright, I’m going!
Everyone!
Oh, Kozue-senpai! Megumi-senpai was just–
I see... I’m sure she can handle it; there’s no need to worry.
Yeah. She’s got this.
Now then, everyone! One last push! Let’s give our all to get this last bit of work finished!
Let’s go!
…ahem.
HelloMegu! Fujishima Megumi from the Hasunosora School Idol Club here~☆
We’re really sorry! Something came up, so the other club members will be a little late!
Until then, looks like I have you all to myself~☆
But since I’m here on stage and all, I wanted to try something new~!
So…
Hey, you in the second row! With the green skirt! You look like you’ve been dying to know more about me for a while!
Hm~? What, what? You wanna know how I could be thiiiis cute? Wait, you didn’t? Well, whatever! I’ll answer anyway!
Weeeell… Y’know, I put a ton of effort into my makeup and figure… not! ☆
I’m cute because I’ve always been cute!☆
‘Kay, next! You way, waaay in the back! With the, um, red penlight! Red, huh? You’re a Tsuzuri fan, hmmm?
I totally get you! She’s great, isn’t she?
“Huh? My beauty is a sin…?”
Nah, there’s no way she’d say that! Oh, well!
And your question is… I’m already so cute, but I’m also pretty cool, so aren’t I unstoppable!? Huuuuh!?
But you know… This is just between you and me, but maybe I really am☆
Let’s see, next question… Whoa, everyone’s got their hand up!☆
I guess I can answer some questions seriously, then. Wait, all the other answers were serious, too!
--I have everything under control here now, but… I don’t know how long I’ll be able to keep this up…
Yeah! If I had to pick somewhere I really wanted to go, it’d have to be–
Everyone’s going along with it for now, but… I feel like they could leave at any moment…
I’m definitely a dog person! You know, I actually have a huge shepherd back–
I told everyone I could handle this… If that means I have to bow my head and beg to keep this crowd here–
…
…I’ll do it.
Hey, everyone. So I uploaded a video this morning, right…
It went viral, so the hot spring inn we featured in it got packed to the brim with people.
Right now, the other members are over there helping them out.
I wasn’t being myself then. I need to do this my way, just like everyone else.
At first, I was planning on staying behind. But the others decided to send me here.
…You know how I couldn’t do school idol stuff for a year because of my injury, right?
I think that’s why I was feeling restless. Like, I was thinking that I had to do stuff to make up for it.
One of the best parts about me is how much I can give my all into everything, no matter what!
But one of the worst parts of me is how I sometimes overdo it and lose track of everything around me.
This time, it was the others that taught me that. So, basically…
…I need to have fun!
I’m cute and cool enough just being myself!
Megu-chaaaan!
Anyway~!
We’re reeeally sorry to keep you waiting! Now it’s time for our performance to start!
We’re gonna captivate you all eeeven more!☆
