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!
Rurino:
Whoa, so many people… I’d rather come in just before class starts in the morning. Everyone’s so motivated…
Kaho:
Oh, right, you weren’t around back during the Nadeshiko Festival, huh?
At our school, everyone gets super motivated when it’s time to prepare for the school festivals!
Sayaka:
I’m sorry you two had to be dragged along for this.
Rurino:
Don’t worry about it! It’s just a simple errand, so it’s kinda like going for a nice walk!
Kaho:
You only need to give them this one paper to get permission to use the stage at the festival, right? They don’t need anything else, right?
Sayaka:
Yes, this should be everything. The committee person told me that all I had to do was just submit this here.
Kaho:
Coming through!
Rurino:
Gah… can’t see…! ‘Scuse me!
Sachi:
Alright, approved. The wind ensemble will be allowed to use the stage. The choir, too.
Shiina:
Oh, it’s Kaho-chan! And she’s with some other people from the School Idol Club!
Kaho:
Oh hi, Shiina-chan! Hi, you three! Oh, does the choir need something from the student council too?
Biwako:
Yeah. It’d be pretty rough if we couldn’t use the stage…
Rurino:
They didn’t make you do anything weird, right? Something like, you need to defeat the student council president to use it!?
Ena:
Ahaha, nah, nothing crazy like that. We hope you guys enjoy the festival!
Sayaka:
Thank you very much, everyone. We should head in as well.
Sachi:
Next? Come in.
Kaho, Sayaka & Rurino:
Excuse us!
Sachi:
Ooh…
Sachi:
Well, if it isn’t you!
Kaho:
Yes, we’re from the School Idol Club!
Rurino:
What’s up!?
Sachi:
Yeah, what’s up~?
Kaho:
The sky!
Sayaka:
G-Good afternoon…
Sachi:
Hahaha, what are you here for? The first-years going directly to the student council… What, you planning a mutiny?
Kaho:
M-Mutiny!?
Rurino:
I don’t know what that means, so I’ll go with “yes!”
Sayaka:
No, that’s not what we’re here for! We’re not trying to betray the second years.
Sachi:
‘Kay, ‘kay. Good to hear it. Lay it on me, then.
Rurino:
You’re up, Leader!
Kaho:
We’re counting on you!
Sachi:
Hm?
Sayaka:
U-Um… we wanted to request permission to use the stage. I have the necessary form filled out right here.
Sachi:
…
Rurino:
…Doesn’t it feel like she’s about to say no…?
Sayaka:
W-Well… Megumi-senpai did tell us it’d be fine, so…
Kaho:
Nah, it should be fine. Ena-chan said so, right?
She said that there weren’t any crazy conditions to it.
Sachi:
By the way…
Sayaka:
Y-Yes!
Sachi:
Where’s Kozue? I was expecting her to come bring this.
Kaho:
Oh, well… the thing is, she actually caught a cold…
Rurino:
Right now, our Acting Leader’s giving it everything she’s got!
Sayaka:
A-Acting Leader here!
Sachi:
I see. I see…
Sachi:
It says here that you’re planning on livestreaming your performance. You planning on using your Rindou Festival performance for the Love Live! qualifiers?
Sayaka:
Yes, that’s our plan.
Sachi:
So you are going for Love Live! I see…
Rurino:
Are you gonna tell us to “Concentrate on the Rindou Festival!” or something?
Sachi:
Nah, nah, I already know why you need the festival. The energy there synergizes with your goals.
So if you’re gonna qualify for Love Live!, you’re gonna need a good performance at the Rindou Festival, right?
Rurino:
Y-Yeah, that’s right! Megu-chan wants to qualify this year, so she’s really fired up!
Super burning…? Hot? Something like that!
Sachi:
…Yeah, that tracks.
Kaho:
Kozue-senpai said she’ll definitely get better before the festival!
Sachi:
…Yep.
Sayaka:
I also want to do everything I can. I know that Tsuzuri-senpai has a lot of thoughts about what happened here last year…
Sachi:
…I see. I see…
Sachi:
Kaho, Sayaka, and Rurino… right?
Kaho, Sayaka & Rurino:
Y-Yes!
Sachi:
Why do you three wanna perform at Love Live!?
Sayaka:
Huh? Why…? Why indeed…?
Rurino:
I mean, Megu-chan was really fired up for it.
Kaho:
Because Love Live! is Kozue-senpai’s dream!
Sachi:
Hm… I see. So that’s the way it is, huh? And those three…
Sachi:
Alright! Get out there!
Rurino:
Oh, nice! We got permission!
Sachi:
No? There’s no way I can accept this the way things are now!
Kaho, Sayaka & Rurino:
What!?
Sachi:
What I meant by “get out there” was… get out there and pass these three tests!
Rurino:
Why is it just the School Idol Club that has to go through this!?
Kaho:
We have to hand out all of these…
Rurino:
But the choir didn’t have to deal with this! This is oppression!
Sayaka:
Spreading the word about the Rindou Festival with people outside the school… I guess that is pretty important…
Rurino:
But that isn’t a test! That’s just unpaid labor! I know her game!
Kaho:
Grr… And to think that student council president used to be a school idol!
Rurino:
Huh? I didn’t know that! Wait, does she think she can boss us around because she used to be a part of us!?
Sayaka:
…I don’t think so.
Sayaka:
I’m sure she has some purpose in doing all of this. If she didn’t, she probably would have just outright refused our request.
Kaho & Rurino:
…
Rurino:
So, what’s this “purpose” then?
Sayaka:
That… I don’t know.
Kaho:
Mmm… fine!!
Sayaka:
Kaho-san?
Kaho:
It makes sense when you put it like that! Let’s take on that student council president’s tests!
Rurino:
Wait… seriously?
Kaho:
I’m serious! Super serious! Giga serious! After all, if we don’t get this permission, there’s no way I could show my face to Kozue-senpai ever again!
Rurino:
That makes sense. At least some of it did.
Kaho:
Some of it.
Rurino:
There’s no way I’d let Megu-chan not get her revenge!
Sayaka:
Thank you very much, you two. …Alright, let’s go!
Kaho:
Yeah, leave it to me!! If all we need to do is hand out these flyers, then I’ve got a great plan!
Sayaka & Rurino:
A great plan?
