All three subunits have advanced past the Love Live! regional qualifiers without incident. Spurred into action by Sayaka’s remarkable growth, Tsuzuri decides to run as a candidate for the Open House Committee.
…I see. So that’s the reason behind Tsuzuri joining the open house committee.
I figured we ought to tell Kozue about it, so the three of us could discuss it together.
When I first saw Tsuzuri’s ideas, I realized that perhaps I had been worrying for nothing, though.
Did I worry you two?
Sorta. But we feel a lot better now that we’ve properly talked it out.
…So you were feeling as if Sayaka-san was leaving you behind, hm.
In any case, I think that working hard to change those circumstances is a very admirable approach.
Well, about that…
I understand what you want to do as a part of the committee, but you figured that out after you joined, right?
When you first said you wanted to join, was it just because the timing lined up well?
Yeah, sorry.
You don’t need to apologize for that… We were just wondering if you noticed something really important about what you were getting into.
This plan is an initiative spearheaded by the student council. The person who changed the event from an information session to an open house is Sachi-senpai.
Oh.
Back during the Rindou Festival, whenever Sachi-senpai came up, you’d always… um… you’d get this weird look. It was like you were… angry at her?
So we were wondering if it was just an accident that you ended up working under her.
…Thanks, Megu. Kozu.
I think… I hate her. The student council president… the girl who left me.
…But that doesn’t change what I want to do, so...
I see.
Um… what do you think, Megu?
Me?
It seems like you can talk to her just fine.
Fine… Fine, huh… I guess unlike you, I don’t really think about it that much anymore.
Now I have Ruri-chan, and thanks to her, I can dance again.
And besides. Sachi-senpai quit the club right after I was injured, right?
Back then, I was really ticked off about it, but I’m over it now.
Okay… And you, Kozu?
For me… I was able to somewhat accept it after Sachi-senpai explained herself to me back then.
“To protect the students’ freedom, I have no choice but to become the student council president.”
“As the director’s granddaughter, it has to be me.” And also…
“At our school, the student council president cannot be a part of any other clubs.” “I have no choice but to quit the School Idol Club.”
…Yeah, she did say that, huh.
Of course I was sad about it. But I understood her position.
And most of all, I don’t think I was in a position to criticize her last year… So I try to consider everything pragmatically.
Oh, okay. That’s amazing. I don’t think I could do that.
…Did you know, Tsuzuri? The reason I have this mindset is because of you.
Because of me?
To be more accurate, because of you, and Kaho-san, and Sayaka-san. Thanks to your efforts, I was able to move on from the past.
For Megumi, she was able to do so thanks to Rurino-san’s support. Therefore I don’t think I can say that I’m the only one that’s “amazing”.
Are you saying I can also think about it like you? …Sorry, I don’t know about that.
…Tsuzuri.
…Oh, well! I’m just relieved that you took working under her this well!
You’re doing everything you can to make the open house a success because you want to. I think that’s perfectly fine.
Yeah.
Oookay. So since I was the one who kinda started all this…
We’ll just have to give our all to support you! Right, Kozue!
…Right. As a school idol, I want to do our best for our future juniors. In that respect, I can’t consider myself a third party, so I’ll do my best as well.
Thanks, you two.
So basically! Before the sectional qualifiers, the School Idol Club will conquer the Hasunosora Open House!
So we’re conquering it now, huh…?
Preparing for Love Live! is important.
But… If there’s something I can do as a school idol for the students coming next year, then I want to give that my all, too.
And so, I want to give them the School Idol Club’s unique brand of hospitality. When we figure that out, we’ll have our esteemed committee member Tsuzuri deliver the proposal at the next meeting!
Yeah! I think that’s a great idea! If there’s anything that we can do, please let us know!
Yeah, thanks… What do you think, Saya?
Huh? Me?
Yeah.
Tell her she’s amazing… Tell her she’s really amazing…!
…What on earth are you doing, Megu-chan?
Naturally, to help you achieve your goals, I will wholeheartedly support you.
…Okay.
Oh, come on! All you had to say was that Tsuzu-chan is special and wonderful, and everything would’ve been resolved!
Doesn’t that sound more like me than Sayaka-chan?
Y’know, now that I think about it, I remember Kozue-senpai saying something before about doing something for this open house thing.
What’s the difference between that and what you’re planning now?
I was thinking we could hold a performance at the club introduction areas, but…
…Having received Tsuzuri’s thoughts on the matter, I started thinking more on it.
Oh, so you came up with an idea, right!
Yeah, so yesterday we thought about it all night– Actually, since Tsuzuri came up with about 90% of this, why don’t we have her tell it!
Go on, Tsuzuri-san!
…Guided tours.
Guided tours? Um, like the ones they have on sightseeing buses??
Yeah. We’ll guide the guests through all the booths at the open house event.
I was thinking that the School Idol Club could do something like that.
If we have one person assigned to each bus, then we should just manage to cover all of ‘em. I’m sure if Tsuzuri brings the idea up at the next committee meeting, they’ll approve it.
And since we’d be guiding the students for the whole day, it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that how much fun they have would be in our hands!
And to end the day, I want to perform for the middle-schoolers.
We’d talk with them, and make friends with them…
And after spending the whole day escorting them around, we’d show them the cute and cool school idols we are at the very end!
Wow…! I’ll definitely tell them to look forward to the end of the day while I’m guiding them around! I think that’d be great!
I see! That sounds super fun!
It sounds super fun, but…! Hehe… battery… please last!
How interested your prospective students will be would depend on your prowess as a tour guide.
Naturally, this also applies to myself.
But… I’m sure everyone here can perform splendidly.
Yeah. And if everything goes right, then it’ll be an amazing day.
Yeah!
Um…
Huh? Is something the matter, Sayaka-san…!?
No, there isn’t a problem… Wait, why are you acting so stiff!? On the contrary, I think the idea you’ve come up with is wonderful.
If you’re entrusting me with this responsibility, then I want to give it my utmost effort!
It’s just… are you doing alright, Tsuzuri-senpai? I know you’re busy with your work at the committee, and our activities in this club…
If you need it, I’m always available to–
It’s okay. I can do this.
Oh, okay…
A-Anyway! I’m sooo here, so there’s like, totally no need to worry! Just like, leave Tsuzuri to me and give her your support, you hear?
Why are you talking like that, Megu-chan!?
Alright…! I’ll be thinking up a bunch of fun stuff to do with the incoming students until the event!
Good luck, Sayaka-chan!
…Right, of course!
Since these types of events don’t happen often, I want it to succeed.
Yeah. Alright, Kozu, go ahead and close this.
Shouldn’t you be the one to do it? …After all, you’re the one leading this plan.
Ah! Okay, then… School idols, roll out!
Let’s go!
