To promote their performance at the Nadeshiko Festival, Kaho and Sayaka are tasked by the seniors to write an article for the Newspaper Club. The pair diligently work to meet their expectations, but…

I really like Kozu.
Yeah, I don't know if I'd still be in the School Idol Club without her.
Kozu taught me all about school idols back then.
And… I'd say Kozu likes school idols the most out of everyone.
Wait, really?
Sayaka-chan told me that you really liked school idols, though.
Of course I like them too.
But for me…I'd say the way I like school idols is different from the way Kozu likes them. Wait, huh? Can I even compare us, then…?
I'm sure the two of you love them very much!
Sure, let's go with that. But, that's why…
Tsuzuri-senpai?
O-Oh, sorry. Uh, what was I talking about again?
We were discussing how you feel about Kozue-senpai!
I feel like we've talked about it a lot, but I'm glad that you also really like Kozue-senpai!
Oh. Yeah, of course I do.
…
Kaho?
…Um, could I ask you one more question then, Tsuzuri-senpai?
Go ahead. Anything you want.
That was easy!
Okay, so I know you haven't performed together in a while… is that because you're in different subunits?
…
Tsuzuri-senpai?
That's part of it. But…
…But what?
It's also because we made a promise half a year ago… I guess.
I see.
It doesn't seem like they dislike each other. In fact, it's more the opposite…
Yeah, they love each other!
But… both of them seemed really sad when they mentioned never performing together again.
Kozue-senpai seemed so distant, and Tsuzuri-senpai looked so sad…
A promise from half a year ago, huh…? Thinking back on it…
It looks like it started last December.
Huh? What about last December?
Since then, I've never seen a picture of them together.
Oh…
But wait, that means something definitely happened then! If we can do something to fix it, I'm sure they'll–
Kaho-san.
We only started looking into this to write an article about the second-years. I must admit I'm interested in this too, but…
Even so, I don't think this is an issue we should insert ourselves in just out of sheer curiosity. We have more than enough for the article.
But…
I'm sorry. I feel the same way you do.
If there really is a problem between Otomune-senpai and Tsuzuri-senpai, I would want to do anything I could to solve it.
That's why we went and talked to both of them, after all.
But as to whether we should step in, even more than we already have… even I don't know what to do.
…I guess you're right…
I suppose we should leave it at this, then?
…
…Hey, Sayaka-chan.
I understand where you're coming from. I even think you're right. It's just…
I really don't like this.
Kaho-san…
It was such a relief to find out they get along well, wasn't it? It made me so happy to hear Tsuzuri-senpai speaking so highly of Kozue-senpai.
I'm sure you felt the same when Kozue-senpai mentioned that she liked Tsuzuri-senpai. But doesn't that just make you hate this situation even more?
I mean, I don't like it, either. But still…
I saw how sad Tsuzuri-senpai looked earlier. And I'm completely sure Kozue-senpai also isn't happy with the way things are.
I know both of them love each other… So, if only there was just something else…
They could be school idols together again?
I… I just wish I could find that little something. I really don't like how things are right now.
I really don't want them to be so sad about this forever! I like both of them, after all!
Kaho-san…
…But I guess that's not how I should feel, huh…
No… You're not wrong.
I know. I know you want to do whatever you can to help them, because they're your friends.
And I know you don't want them to feel like this forever… I feel the same way, too.
Yeah. If we just knew what happened between them… If we could just find something!
Then even we might be able to do something…
…Alright! Let's look into this a little more.
Sayaka-chan…! Thanks!
You don't have to thank me for this. But back on topic, I'm hesitant to ask them directly.
First… hm… Oh, right! There might be something from half a year ago… Maybe we might find something in the school warehouse.
Yeah… okay, let's go check it out!
This one's from last year.
So it would be around here…
It's a photo album… You know, I'd like to make one of these… I haven't really ever printed photos before.
…Oh?
Did you find something?
Here, take a look at this.
It's the second-years!
So this is them when they were first-years… I don't think I've seen them like this before.
"Dream Believers… Debuting our first-years!" …Dream… Believers?
Probably the name of a song? But, when they say "debuting our first-years"…
This must be last year's Nadeshiko Festival, then.
They're all on stage together. Kozue-senpai and Tsuzuri-senpai… wait, huh?
Is that… the student council president?
Oh, it is! And…
I feel like I've seen this girl somewhere before…
So these were the members of the School Idol Club last year…
I wonder why they're not in the club anymore…
Well… No, I'm interested in that too, but… I think we should focus on Tsuzuri-senpai and Otomune-senpai for now.
Yeah, sorry. Okay, let's keep looking! Ahh!
Kaho-san!?
Are you all right?
Yeah, I'm okay… Thanks, Sayaka-chan… Ehehe…
…Huh?
Sayaka-chan? Wait, are you hurt somewhere because of me!?
No, that's not it. Here, I should just show you.
Hasunosora School Idol Club… wins the regional Love Live! tournament!?
Wait, that's amazing! They made it to the national championships last year!?
Under that, Kaho-san.
Under… huh…?
Withdrawal… from nationals!?
