The School Idol Club has decided to put on a performance to thank everyone that has always supported them. Kaho tries to be cool and takes on a very difficult challenge!?
Kaho:
Hmmm… Hmmm… Hmmmmmm…
Sachi:
Got a lot on your mind, eh, first-year?
Kaho:
Wah! P-Prez… Please don’t scare me like that…
Sachi:
My bad, my bad. But what’s up? Looks like you were really concentrating there.
Kaho:
Um, well… you know, it kinda feels like I’m forgetting something… Something really important…
Sachi:
Oho. Studying? Something with your friends? School idol stuff, maybe?
Kaho:
It’d probably be school idol stuff… Ah, I remember now!
Sachi:
Oh.
Kaho:
I was thinking that when things settled down, I should do something for the people who helped out in the “TetherLink! Live!” plan we used for the sectional qualifier!
With all that stuff that’s happened, I totally forgot!
Sachi:
Ooh, good idea. What were you thinking of?
Kaho:
Hmm… Basically, I wanted to thank everyone… There’s a lot of thanks to give!
Kaho:
Not just for the qualifier, but for all the support we’ve gotten over the past year! I’m really grateful for it!
Kaho:
But maybe we’d actually be able to properly thank everyone if we won…
Sachi:
Ah… guess so…
Kaho:
But it’s gonna be alright! We’re doing it for sure next year! Uoooooh!
Sachi:
Huh… Here I was, thinking you’d be more depressed. You’re actually pretty motivated, eh? Nice, nice.
Kaho:
Oh, did you come over because you were worried about me? Looks like you can be really nice, huh, Prez!
Sachi:
But I’m sure there’s a ton of people thinking exactly what I was thinking.
Sachi:
Showing that you’re doing alright would probably be a relief to your fans..
Kaho:
Showing that… it’s gotta be through a performance, right!?
Sachi:
Oh, hm? Maybe?
Kaho:
Alright, I got it! I’m gonna tell everyone that I wanna hold a “thank you” performance! Thanks, Prez!
Sachi:
Haha, she’s too motivated.
Kaho:
I have a great idea!
Kozue:
Oh, my. What is it, Kaho?
Kaho:
Huh– ah. Yeah, that’s right. I’m Kaho now… Ehehe…
Kozue:
Ahem. Now. What. Is. It?
Kaho:
O-Oh, right! So just now, I had a lightbulb moment!
Kaho:
Why don’t we thank everyone who’s helped us out with a performance!?
They’re the whole reason why we were even able to appear at the Love Live! Nationals!
Sayaka:
Hmhm.
Kaho:
Huh, what!?
Rurino:
We were just talking about doing that, Kaho-chan!
Kaho:
Huh?
Megumi:
Looks like everyone’s on the same page, hm~?
Tsuzuri:
I’m happy.
Kozue:
Let’s hold that live event, then. For those who supported us throughout the past year.
Kaho:
Yeah!
Kaho:
Hmmm… Hmmm… Hmmmmm…
Sachi:
Huh? More things on your mind?
Kaho:
Prez…
Kaho:
The thing is…
Sachi:
Ooh~. You wanted to thank everyone in your own words, so you accidentally blurted out that you’d be writing the lyrics yourself, huh… Sounds pretty nice.
Kaho:
But, but!
Kaho:
I’ve… never written lyrics by myself before!
Sachi:
Oh… Then why’d you say it?
Kaho:
I just wanted to sound cool, okay!?
Sachi:
Ahahaha!
Kaho:
Look, okay!? I promised Kozue-senpai that we’d win Love Live! together…
But if I’ve gone all this time without having ever written any lyrics, doesn’t that mean I haven’t changed at all…?
Kaho:
I mean, Kozue-senpai probably isn’t saying anything because she’s really nice!
But I bet she’s thinking… “That Kaho is as no-good as ever, hm… At this rate, there’s no chance we’ll win next year…”
She’s gotta be super disappointed!
Sachi:
…So, how far have you gotten?
Kaho:
…Let’s just say I’m down a notebook.
Sachi:
Hmm. A for effort! You’ve really worked hard!
Kaho:
But hard work doesn’t mean anything if I have nothing to show for it!
Sachi:
Hey, now. It’s just one of those things. Sometimes you just need to think about it in a different way!
Maybe try talking with the other girls in the club, see if you get some inspiration?
Kaho:
I guess so… Looks like it’s back to the club for the pretentious water flea Kaho…
Sachi:
She sounds just like that box girl when she’s out of battery now…
Kaho:
Afternoon…
Sachi:
Yo, Kozue.
Kozue:
Oh? Why are you and Kaho together, Sachi-senpai?
Sachi:
Oh, you know. Heard about that performance you were gonna do to thank your fans and supporters.
I was thinking, being the student council president and all, I ought to give y’all some motivation. Besides, it’s not like I didn’t have any part in all this!
Kozue:
Hmhm, and for that I’m very grateful.
Kozue:
Oh, right! Listen to this, Sachi-senpai!
Sachi:
What, what? Something good happened?
Kozue:
This time, Kaho’s writing our lyrics! She’s doing it all by herself! I’m not helping out at all!
Sachi:
Ooh! That sounds pretty good!
Kozue:
Normally, I write the song first and the two of us work together to write the lyrics, but this time, Kaho’s writing the lyrics first.
This is the first time I’ve made a song this way, so I’m very excited, hmhm~
Sachi:
Oh… I can see why she’s stressed now…
Sachi:
Looks like you’re quite the junior, Kaho!
Kaho:
Y-Yeah…
Kozue:
…Kaho, are you sure you’re alright with this? If there’s anything troubling you, please feel free to talk to me about it.
Kaho:
The–
Kaho:
T-There’s totally nothing wrong! It’s been going great, actually!
I have so many ideas popping up like a field full of dandelions, it’s actually kinda hard narrowing down the best ones!
Leave it all to me, Kozue-senpai!
Kozue:
Wow… Amazing, Kaho.
Rurino:
KozuKozu-senpaaai! I’m done writing out all the invitations!
Kozue:
Oh, thank you. It seems everything’s coming together swimmingly, then.
Sachi:
Oh, invitations? That sounds very nice.
Kozue:
Yes. Since we’re going through with this plan, I thought it would be nice to send invitations to those who helped us directly.
If possible, I’d like to look for a time where we could deliver these ourselves, but…
Rurino:
Alright, I’m gonna head back and go help build the stage! Over!
Kozue:
As you can see, the preparations are quite the handful.
Kaho:
U-Um! If there’s something I can help with, then–
Kozue:
Ah, that’s alright, Kaho. Please just work on those lyrics instead.
Everyone’s looking forward to reading them.
Kaho:
Guaaaah…!
Sachi:
I got it! Kaho and I’ll go out and hand those invitations over ourselves!
Kozue:
Huh?
Kaho:
Huuuh!?
