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…
Ena:
Ah.
Biwako:
Rurino-chan…
Yo. Hey, you guys seen Megu-chan?
Ena & Biwako:
Um…
Ena:
If you’re looking for Megumi-senpai, she just went over there…
Ooh, thanks~
Biwako:
But…
Biwako:
She had this kinda… scary look on her face…?
My legs are moving fine. They don’t feel off at all. But…
…Megu-chan?
Ah… My bad, Ruri-chan. I thought I’d take a look at the sunset during the break and–
Did you really think I’d believe that?
…
Hey, Megu-chan.
You don’t need to suffer by yourself. I hate to say it, but I really think I did my best.
I bet I could talk to you about school idols even more now, Megu-chan! So–
I know. You did your best. It was great.
Then why are you practicing by yourself? If it’s because things weren’t working out, then I…
I wanna figure that out with you!
…Shut up.
Huh?
I said, shut up!
!
Couldn’t you tell just by looking!? I can’t do it! I’m the one dragging you behind! I don’t want you to see it anymore!
Megu…chan…!?
You’ve always understood school idols better than me! I lost! Boohoo! Your plan was a success!
Grr!!! You don’t need to say it like that!
I have to do this on my own!
It’s pointless if you figure it out for me!
I get it especially now that we’ve spent some time apart! I thought you of all people would’ve gotten that, Ruri-chan!
What are you even on about!? Stupid Megu-chan!! Fine, do what you want!
Why… Why is it like this!?
I’m not stupid! And I will!
Oh, come on…!
I want to know more than anyone why it’s like this…
Over there… doesn’t Ruri look really sad?
Oh, you’re right! Rurino-chaaan!
Oh… Kaho-chan and Tsuzuri-senpai… What an unusual combo.
Team Freedom!
Ooh, that’s got a good ring to it!
Ahaha… Sorry, my battery feels really low, so…
Oof… I guess we’re bothering you, then…
Team Freedom never gives in!
Only Mira-Cra Park!’s been acting strange.
Huh?
Well… yeah. Cerise Bouquet and DOLLCHESTRA have been going pretty well, right?
Yeah…
So I was getting my thoughts together, yeah?
I’m sure my feelings reached Megu-chan, too… So why did things end up this way?
Did Megu say anything?
She said that she can’t do it.
But I don’t know what she meant by that.
Kaho, do you know?
Huh!? You’re asking me about Megumi-senpai!?
Yeah. Today’s Kaho should know today’s Megu.
Huh?
Um…? Well, I guess… Megumi-senpai “can’t do it”…?
But when she was performing with me, she was the usual amazing Megumi-senpai.
And when she got back together with you, Rurino-chan, she didn’t suddenly start doing worse… I think…
So then it’s how she feels?
Maybe Megumi-senpai thinks it’s her fault that things aren’t going well between you two… or something?
But that’d be…
So it really was because I went off on my own.
…Ruri.
I wasn’t paired up with Megu, so I don’t know about her, but I think I get you a little.
I’m sure that there’s something today’s you can do.
Today’s… me?
When we were up on stage, you asked everyone for something.
It was really pretty. Back then, you had this pink brilliance to you.
You gave everyone energy.
And then, to those people without energy, those people you don’t know– you asked everyone to share their feelings with them.
…
If there’s anyone in front of you without energy, no matter who it is, you’ll make them feel better.
So, Ruri… You might be Megu’s childhood friend, but there’s more to it than that.
You’re a school idol.
Yeah… That’s… right. Tsuzuri-senpai…
Kaho-chan, too. Thank you.
Um… I hope I helped.
I think I can convey the feelings I can’t put into words now.
Because I’m… a school idol.
