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:
Before our debut shuffle performance, I have to put all my thoughts together, so I can show Megu-chan everything up on stage.
I’m still not totally sure if this’ll go well… But before I can even think of that, I have to decide what I’m gonna do so dragging everyone into this wasn’t for nothing…
But like…
Tsuzuri:
…Black bass right, white bass left.
Rurino:
This isn’t the start I had in mind!!
Rurino:
Ah, Tsuzuri-senpai! Hey, heeey! Really looking forward to working with you!! I’m sure the two of us can make this the most fun performance ever!
Tsuzuri:
Yeah, let’s do this.
Tsuzuri & Rurino:
…
Rurino:
Alright! We can’t let Sayaka-chan or Megu-chan outdo us, so let’s get hyped! Yeah!
Tsuzuri:
…Yeah.
Rurino:
Shoot! She’s just going along with me…! Why didn’t I ask Sayaka-chan what Tsuzuri-senpai likes to do for fun before this…!?
Tsuzuri:
Ruri. Yeah.
Rurino:
Y-Yeah!
Tsuzuri & Rurino:
…
Tsuzuri:
Hm? Sorry.
Rurino:
No, no, there’s nothing to apologize for!! …Oh, no. At this rate my battery’s gonna die…
It’ll be all over if it dies here. I’d never be able to show my face around Tsuzuri-senpai ever again…!
Rurino:
Ah… Tsuzuri-senpai! Let’s go… check up on the others! Yeah! Let’s scout ahead! You know what they say, keep your friends and your enemies close! Or something like that! Alright, let’s go!
Tsuzuri:
?
Kaho:
So anyway…
Megumi:
ByeMegu~!
Kaho:
Click!
Kaho & Megumi:
Gah…!
Kaho:
W-We did it! That was so fun~!
Megumi:
I don’t think I’ve gone that hard on a stream in a really long time… What time is it now?
Kaho:
Whoa, it’s already 6:00 PM, Megumi-senpai?
Megumi:
Eight-hour stream! Ahaha, we sure did go all out, huh~
Kaho:
Ah…What do I even do now?
Megumi:
Well there’s taking a bath... Then, there’s dinner… And then there’s going to bed, right?
Kaho:
Alright. And when I wake up?
Megumi:
Wanna stream again?☆
Kaho:
Yay! You’re the best, Megumi-senpai!
Megumi:
You’re the best, Kaho-kouhai!
Kaho & Megumi:
Ahaha!
Megumi:
Phew… Before getting in the bath, why don’t we rest a little?
Kaho:
Good call…
Kaho:
That reminds me, Megumi-senpai.
Megumi:
Hm?
Kaho:
Well… Did something happen between you and Rurino-chan?
Megumi:
…Noo, totally nooot…?
Kaho:
Saying it like that just makes it sound like I’m right!
Kaho:
I talked about it with Rurino-chan, actually.
She said that you wouldn’t listen to anything she was saying, so she just had to show you…
Megumi:
Alright, Kaho-sensei.
Kaho:
Go on, Fujishima-san.
Megumi:
What do you think happens when you only listen to one side of an argument?
Kaho:
Fair point. Please, take the stand.
Megumi:
My argument’s the same as hers, though. I think the one who isn’t listening here is Ruri-chan.
Kaho:
Wait, are we talking about the same Rurino-chan here!?
This is the same girl that would drain her battery dry listening to anyone and anything!
Megumi:
Who do you think Ruri-chan is…? …Though to be fair, she doesn’t really show her stubborn side very often.
She usually hates getting into fights the most out of anyone ever.
Megumi:
I’m glad that she likes being a school idol, but she has no one to blame but herself if she ends up hating it after this.
Kaho:
…
Megumi:
I mean, isn’t it obvious that if we want everyone to have fun, we should make an exciting place that just screams, “Come in!”?
Kaho:
Does Rurino-chan think you should do something different?
Megumi:
She’s being too cautious. She basically wants to tell people that are still warming up to us, “If it’s alright with you….”
But we all know that’ll just end with them ghosting us after telling us that they’ll come when they can.
Kaho:
…Is that coming from experience?
Megumi:
Oh, you know. I’m sure you get that there are things you can only really understand by failing once, but I still wouldn’t want to see Ruri-chan fail. That’s all there is to it.
Kaho:
But Rurino-chan’s…
Rurino:
Open up! We’re scouting the premises!
Tsuzuri:
Scouting ahead~
Kaho:
Not scouting again!?
Megumi:
I think that’s a different kind of “scouting” …Kaho-chan, let’s head out.
Kaho:
Oh… sure.
Tsuzuri:
Ruri, show ‘em your badge.
Rurino:
Yeah! Look at my badge! We’re scouting the place!
Megumi:
You finally giving up?
Rurino:
No, you!
Megumi:
Then I have nothing to say to you.
Right now, I’m busy having so much fun with Kaho-chan and drafting everyone into the Megu Army!
Kaho:
Not just the Megu Army, though!
Rurino:
Kaho-chan.
Kaho:
Yep, Kaho-chan here.
Tsuzuri:
Tsuzuri-chan here.
Kaho:
Oh, hi there, Tsuzuri-senpai. Um… are you inviting us over?
Rurino:
We just came over to see how you two were doing. You weren’t in the tutoring room, so it was a real pain in the rear end to find you.
Megumi:
Normally people would come to my room first!
Kaho:
We’ve been doing a ton of streaming. Tomorrow we’re gonna go to some of our commenters’ schools to perform.
Rurino:
Oh, really? Nice, sounds fun!
Megumi:
Just remember, that’s one of my ideas you said no to, Ruri-chan. You did this.
Rurino:
But back then I said that it sounded fun, too!
Megumi:
Grrrrr…
Megumi:
Anyway… I wonder how your plan to make anyone have fun’s going~☆
Rurino:
Oof.
Tsuzuri:
We’re figuring it out now. That’s why… we’re scouting ahead for that?
Megumi:
Figuring it out…?
Rurino:
Ah, no! The thing is… T-Tsuzuri-senpai…!
Megumi:
Heh***! Too bad for you, but everyone’s gonna have a great time getting hyped up in our event!
When you finally come along, you can just ask me for ideas~!
Rurino:
U-Ugh…! You’re going to pay for this!!!
Megumi:
Sorry for all this, Tsuzuri. I’m entrusting Ruri-chan to you.
Megumi:
Wait, maybe that’s too serious.
Tsuzuri:
I don’t really get it, but Ruri should be okay? Good luck too, Megu.
Megumi:
…Yeah.
Megumi:
If she’s saying she’ll be okay… I wonder… Does she see something I don’t…?
Kaho:
Um, Megumi-senpai?
Megumi:
Don’t worry about it, Kaho-kouhai. Either way, Tsuzuri’s with her, so I guess this shuffle turned out alright.
…I just hope she’s not too disappointed.
Kaho:
…Let’s make sure Rurino-chan regrets not being a part of tomorrow’s performances!
Megumi:
Yeah! For the Megu Army!
Kaho:
Not just for them!
