The Rindou Festival performance will play an important role as the club’s entry in the Love Live! regional qualifiers. However, in the midst of preparations, Club President Kozue falls ill with a fever!
Um… what should we do?
The Rindou Festival is this weekend. Assuming Kozue can overcome her cold by then…
I-I’ll nurse her back to health, no matter what!
I understand how you feel, but you shouldn’t be the only one with that responsibility. Why don’t we look after her in shifts?
Alright, thanks, Rurino-chan!
Other than that… there’s still putting together the practice schedule for the next few days, as well as communicating with other clubs and the school.
Kozue-senpai’s been doing a lot of work for us, hasn’t she…?
Kozue-senpai the Great…
It seems that this is all the work that needs to be sorted out before the festival.
…Alright, I got it.
…Tsuzuri-senpai?
I’ll be… the acting president.
Huh!?
Kozu’s been working so hard all this time… and now I will continue on in her stead. Surely she will be smiling down on us, from wherever she is.
Stop making it sound like she’s already gone!
But you know, she has been with Kozue-senpai the longest, right? Maybe it could work?
Hold it.
Megu-chan?
Wait, I think I know what you’re gonna say next.
If you need an acting president… in other words, our next leader, then that should be me!
Were you right?
Yep.
Hey! You two, react harder! Why don’t I hear some “ooh!”s and “so true!”s from you!?
I won’t lose, Megu.
…Hmph. So you’re not giving up, Tsuzuri. You’ve changed.
That’s because I’ve grown.
What’s the right thing to do here…?
Hmm… I mean, if we’re looking for a leader, I don’t think Megu-chan would be a bad choice, but…
But?
Since we’re looking for someone to fill in for Kozue-senpai, they’d have to do all the club president work she does, right?
…Megu-chan’s a little…
Ruri-chan!?
I-I have an idea! Why don’t both of you try it out!? I know about how much work Kozue-senpai does!
I’ve watched her from the sidelines plenty of times!
Sure. I accept.
We’ll see who the better leader is!
Wait, is this a competition now!?
Strange.
It’s wrong.
Megu-chan, let’s work toward improving your reading skills…
I can read just fine! It’s this language’s fault for not spelling things the way they’re read, right, Ruri-chan!?
Huh!? Y-Yeah… M-Maybe it’d help me very thank you understand…?
And as for you, Tsuzuri-senpai… I don’t think they’ll lend us the practice space if our request just says “practice”…
Maybe I should’ve gone with “rehearsal”, then…
This won’t be solved just by using a more complicated word…
Grr… Fine, then who here’s gonna take Kozue’s place!?
Sorry, Kozu. Guess I’m just not meant to be like you.
Kozue-senpai’s place… huh?
Yeah! Filling out all these forms, setting up the practice schedule, and making sure everyone stays focused!
And most of all… someone who can lead us all.
Can’t do it.
L-Looks like I’ll have to do it…!
T-That sounds like it would be very difficult. Not only do you have to take care of Kozue-senpai, you’re also the de facto leader of Cerise Bouquet for now…
Oof. B-But I wanna do everything I can…!
…
Very well.
Huh?
It is imperative that we all cooperate with each other while Kozue-senpai isn’t available. To that end, I think I would be the least obtrusive candidate…
I-I see… I’m so sorry, Sayaka-chan…! I’ll help however I can…!
It really isn’t such a big deal! Um… Tsuzuri-senpai, Megumi-senpai? What do you two think?
Well, if you’re volunteering to…
Sure. You’re always so helpful, Saya.
Thank you very much.
If everyone accepts, then I, Murano Sayaka, accept the responsibilities of the provisional presidential position. I’ll do my best!
Sayaka-chaaan! One of the committee members is asking if you have the club meeting form filled out!
Yes! Right here!
Ooh! Very punctual!
Adding in all of our subunits’ performances, I think we should reserve the festival stage for an hour.
Understood. Then, for the application form, I’ll write… hm…
In order for the School Idol Club to emphasize its purpose, and so that each school idol can represent her respective subunit…
Huh!? You already came up with all that!?
For today’s practice, in addition to our usual agenda, we must prepare for our upcoming performance at the Rindou Festival.
Therefore, I’ve made some adjustments to Kozue-senpai’s usual practice schedule.
Got it! What do you need me to do?
Right, first of all…
Since Cerise Bouquet is in a rough situation, I’ll be watching over Saya and Kaho too.
Ooh! …”too”?
The songs and lyrics, too. I’m a little different from Kozu, but I’ll help as much as I can.
Tsuzuri-senpai~ Thank you very much!!
No prob. Saya said you looked like you were in trouble, so she wanted to do what she could.
Did you really need to say that part out loud!?
Thank you too, Sayaka-chan!!
N-No worries.
Maaan, you’re like the perfect leader! Madam President!
I think you’re working really hard. You can spell good, too…
Megu-chan…
Listen! I just think that we should do what we can, together!
No need to be humble, Sayaka-chan! Oh, and I have a message for you from Kozue-senpai.
She said, “You can trust Sayaka-san. If there’s any trouble, don’t forget to contact me.”
A-Ahaha… Please also tell Kozue-senpai that I’ll be doing my best…
Saya.
Y-Yes!
I’m counting on you.
…
Maybe… I really am cut out for this…
