Following the Love Live! finals, Mira-Cra Park! are the most motivated they’ve ever been. However, when an unexpected conflict over their plan of action ends up involving the whole club…
Rurino:
Today’s a low battery endurance stream.
Rurino:
Reading manga.
Rurino:
…
Rurino:
Ahhhh… Finally got through the backlog…!
Rurino:
You’re all here, but I’m all alone. It’s kinda like my ideal environment.
Thanks for hanging out. Well… sorry I didn’t really respond to chat and stuff.
Rurino:
Huh? This was your favorite stream? Ahaha, you’re just flattering me, but thanks!
Rurino:
…Oh. You really meant it. You’re okay just chilling with me?
That’s the best… so there are people out there that are into this, too, huh…
Rurino:
…I get it, too. It’s the kind of fun that hits the spot when you’re tired, right?
It’s like, when I can’t keep up with all the high energy, I kinda feel like I’m getting left behind…
But I can’t really be hyped up all the time without recharging, and I’d feel bad if I couldn’t go with the flow.
So sometimes it just feels nice to have a chill kind of fun, or something like that? Yeah, I’d say so. Cogito, ergo Ruri.
Rurino:
Yeah, looks like everyone can relate to that… Thanks for all the love for this, ehehe.
…My battery levels are getting critically low, though, so I think I should be ending soon. But before that, there’s one more thing I wanna say.
Rurino:
So like!
Getting all this support from everyone makes me seriously happy, for real.
Now that I’ve gotten a taste of Love Live!, I really wanna try even harder at this whole school idol thing.
So I’m gonna try really hard to think of stuff I can do for everyone!
Rurino:
So anyway…
Rurino:
…’kay, bye…
Rurino:
Megu-chan and I’ve been getting so much love from everyone… I’ve gotta keep going. I wanna keep going…
Rurino:
Valentine’s is coming up pretty soon… I wanna do something for everyone together with Megu-chan.
Rurino:
But I can’t think of anything… Maybe I’ll try and come up with a few ideas before bed…
Megumi:
Alright, Ruri-chan! Let’s do our usual school idol activities!
Rurino:
Yeah!
Megumi:
Everyone’s taking it easy now that Love Live!’s over, so it’s time to really show ‘em!
Now’s our chance to take it one step further!
Rurino:
Ooh! Nice, nice! I’m suuuper pumped up right now too! Let’s give it everything we’ve got, Megu-chan!
Megumi:
Yeah, you’re nice and motivated, huh~? I made a bunch of potential schedules, wanna take a look?
Rurino:
There sure are a lot… you’re amazing, Megu-chan.
Megumi:
Bring on more compliments♡
But honestly, thinking up ideas without considering if they’ll work out isn’t too hard~
Rurino:
So Megu-chan, Megu-chan! What’s your first pick?
Megumi:
Very well, Ruri-chan! Now for my answer!
Megumi:
First up! “Could that be Mira-Cra Park!?” (name subject to change)
We pick a nice landmark to stand in front of, and the first person to come up to us gets to spend the best day of their life with us!
Rurino:
Ooh! A one-day rental of Mira-Cra Park!
Megumi:
Second! “Gather here at Mira-Cra Park!” (name also subject to change)
We rent out some space at a park, and we make lots of noise with everyone! Everyone up on stage dancing with us will definitely have tons of fun!☆
Rurino:
Ooh! Not a one-day boss, a one-day member!
Megumi:
Next! “Guerrilla Raid!” (another name subject to change) We show up to people’s schools out of nowhere and perform!
We’re working so hard even though we’re not the home team, so come over and support us!
Rurino:
Ooh! One-day school idols!
Megumi:
But it’s not like we’re gonna be school idols for a different school, okay!?
Megumi:
Anyway, this was what I was thinking of. Whatcha think?
Rurino:
Well… I think it’ll be fun no matter what we go with, but… Hm…
Megumi:
Think about it as long as you want!
Rurino:
Ah, no… um, Megu-chan…
Megumi:
?
Rurino:
Ever since the Love Live! finals, I’ve been thinking a bunch about school idols.
The stuff we do as school idols, and all of our supporting fans…
Megumi:
Huh. Happy to hear it! Everything’s all linked together, so it’s okay!
Rurino:
Right. So then I started thinking, there are so many different kinds of fans, huh…
So like… I thought of a ton of stuff that I wanted to do, actually.
Megumi:
Oh, really? Let me see, let me see~ Ehehe~ I’m kinda happy~
Rurino:
What on earth is that reaction…? It’s just this.
Megumi:
Hm… Hm? Hmmm…. Hmmmmmm…!
Rurino:
Megu-chan?
Megumi:
This is just like a pancake without fruits or cream! There’s no flavor!
Megumi:
Blue sky napping convention!? A manga cafe performance!? Fishing Pond Run! Can! Plan!?
Rurino:
Good, ain’t it?
Megumi:
It ain’t good!!
Ruri-chan… listen, the two of us are trying to captivate the world! That means that we need to make sure everyone’s having so much fun that time just flies by!
Like, “Oh, I didn’t notice my plate was totally empty♡” and “It feels so good to be so full♡”!
These plans aren’t sweets, they’re bitter veggies! Okay, veggies can be good too, but!?
Rurino:
Seriously…? What can we do with veggies?
Megumi:
Nothing at all. Since you can’t really use veggies in a cake… I mean, I can’t cook.
Rurino:
I’ve never made plans like this before, so I figured you’d think something like this…
But I’m totally sure that the plans I’ve come up with aren’t bad at all.
Rurino:
There are definitely people out there that work hard every day and lose all their hype and energy.
I want those people to have fun, too. To do something they’ll have fun with.
Megumi:
Hm…?
Megumi:
Hey, I get that you really want to give this a try too, Ruri-chan.
Don’t worry, I’ll think of a plan that’ll take your breath away!
Rurino:
Ah, wait. I’m not saying that I think your plans are bad, okay?
Megumi:
It’s alright, I know.
But as long as Mira-Cra Park! can really get the place going, even people without energy will have a ton of fun!
Like, just beyond these gates lies the miraculous Mira-Cra Park! Together, we’ll make the most wonderful parade!
Rurino:
Hmm… about that… What about the people that aren’t feeling it and can’t go through the gates?
Megumi:
That just means we’ll have to send them a double-shot of energy! We’ll cheer them on and hype them up!
Rurino:
But I’m talking about the people that can’t… um… Give me a sec, let me just think about this a little more…
Megumi:
Ruri-chan… okay, yeah.
Megumi:
You’ve only been a school idol for about half a year, right? C’mon, just trust me and leave this to your Megu-chan.
Rurino:
This isn’t about how much experience I have. What I’m trying to say is–
Megumi:
I’ve already gone through all that stuff, Ruri-chan. Just watch and learn, you’ll see!
Rurino:
Megu-chan, I’m trying to have a serious conversation here.
Megumi:
I’m serious too, you know?
If there are people out there not having fun, that means that we need to try harder. For us to captivate the world, I’m gonna need you too, Ruri-chan.
Megumi:
Don’t sweat it! I’ll think of a great idea! So, wanna work with me to hype everyone up?
Rurino:
…Is that really what “work with me” means to you?
Megumi:
Ruri-chan?
Rurino:
I admit that I don’t know as much about school idols as you, Megu-chan.
But even so, I don’t want to just let you do all the heavy lifting.
Megumi:
What are you talking about, Ruri-chan? I don’t mind that at all. I like coming up with those kinds of ideas. And besides–
Megumi:
Just being a school idol together with me is more than enough from you.
Rurino:
!!
Rurino:
So you think I’m a school idol just so I can be with you!?
Megumi:
Huh? No, that’s not what I was saying.
Rurino:
That’s basically what you said! Write it out, it’s pretty much the same thing!
Megumi:
…What’s the matter with you, Ruri-chan!? I told you it was okay!
Have you been listening to anything I’ve been saying!?
Rurino:
And I’m saying that it isn’t okay!
You’re only saying that because you didn’t take my ideas seriously!
Megumi:
Huh!? Of course I seriously thought about them! But if you’re not gonna listen to me, what am I supposed to do!?
Rurino & Megumi:
Grrrr…
Rurino & Megumi:
Alright, forget this!
