A new club member from California!? Rurino starts activities in the School Idol Club immediately after joining, but it seems like she’s hiding something…?
I finally made it here… Hasunosora!
After a year and a half, I’m back in Japan! Y’know, I didn’t expect this… I see… it’s kinda hot, huh!
Wait, it’s even hotter here than in California! It’s so… humid and muggy…
Hm… haa… yep, this is a Japanese summer, alright…
Hm? What? You need somethin’? ‘Kay, ‘kay, what is it, most welcome foreign guest?
You wanna know how to get from here to Kanazawa?
Uh, well! Wait! Little wait, please!
Uh…! Um…! This! This way! Go straight! Over! Yes, yes!
Okay, okay! Go! Thank you, thank you! Oh, yes! You’re welcome!
Oh? Are you inviting me to take a taxi together if I’m also going to Kanazawa Station…?
Mm…! Thank you, thank you! Bye-bye! Goodbye! Good luck! Have a nice day!
Haa…
Maybe I should’ve said yes…
But I don’t think I can last inside a car like that… Never know when I’ll run out of battery…
Welp… Guess I’m taking the bus alone…
But I’m looking forward to this… Hasunosora School Idol Club.
…I hope I’ll have a fun time there.
It was really cool seeing you and Tsuzuri-senpai on stage together~...
Well, thank you… But Kaho-san, while I am glad to hear you say that…
That was a while ago now, you know?
I remember it like it was yesterday~...
Good memory. You’re very smart.
I don’t think that’s what she meant…
We’ve gained quite a number of subscribers on our channel recently.
Good job, Kozue-senpai!
Why are you two encouraging me so forcefully?
Nice, Kozu.
Not you too! Knock it off!
It looks like you’re fully back to your usual self, Kozue-senpai.
…I think so too, Sayaka-san. I’ve caused a great deal of trouble for you all, but I am truly grateful.
No, it’s okay. Don’t worry about it, K-Kozue-senpai.
I’m glad you two are getting closer!
And that’s why… I think it’d be a great time to invite new members to the club!
New members?
Yeah. “Dream Believers” is really a song for three subunits to sing, right?
Oh, that’s what you mean.
Right!? And because of that, if we get some new members, we’ll be able to have a perfect performance of “Dream Believers”!
I wonder what that’d look like!
I’m sure it would be an even more amazing performance!
Another subunit, huh…
…Well, no matter the case, we might get new members with the new batch of students next year.
Huh!? I can’t wait that long!
Where can we find new members…? Oh, Tsuzuri-senpai, you wouldn’t happen to have two twin sisters, would you?
Don’t say something so terrifying…
What a nightmare.
What am I to you?
Excuse meeee! Is this the School Idol Club!?
Y-Yes, it is… But, who are you…?
Osawa Rurino! And I’m looking to join!
We…
We got a new applicant~!
I’m Osawa Rurino, and this month, I transferred to Hasunosora! That makes me the firstest of first-years!
Huh… So you’ve been going to school in California until just recently.
Yes! I actually planned to come in during summer break, but I couldn’t wait any longer so I dipped!
Ah, I mean I decided to return immediately!
It’s alright, you don’t need to be so stiff. Just speak as you normally would.
Yeah, yeah! It’s nice to meet you, Rurino-chan!
Alright, I’ll take you up on that, then! What’s up? You can call me Ruri for short!
Hiya, Ruri.
You certainly are adaptable… Um… it’s a pleasure to meet you, Rurino-san.
So anyway, Rurino-chan! Why’d you decide to come here?
And also, what made you decide to become a school idol!?
I’m interested in that as well.
Could it have been… our recent performance?
‘Cuz it seemed fun!
I-It seemed fun…?
I totally get you! School idols are amazing, right!?
Yeah, yeah! You were all fired up like, “wow!” and then you felt so cool, like, “whoa!” and you were all so sparkly and shiny!
I thought you all shone so bright! It was so impressive how amazing you were! Cogito! Ergo Ruri!
Right, right!? That’s exactly it!
And I love having fun, so I thought that I really wanted to be a school idol and I rushed back here!
I see… But you came to think that way from watching a broadcast of our performance, right? I’m glad to hear it.
Nice, Kozu.
Again, that’s enough of that.
Thank you for your application, Rurino-san. I accept.
Hm… though, seeing as you’ve just transferred in, I suppose starting you off with our full regimen might be too much, huh?
You’re still getting accustomed to your new classes, too.
You… have a point!
Therefore, I believe we should start you off on a trial period. That way, you can freely attend whenever you have the time.
You can steadily grow accustomed to being a member of our club.
Thanks for lookin’ out for me! I’ve got no problem with that, so I’m all welcome to it!
Actually, I’m thankful you didn’t have me go through some sort of entrance exam!
If there was something like that, I wouldn’t be here, ahaha~
You shouldn’t be proud of that!
Ahaha!
‘Kay then! Lookin’ forward to joining you guys as a trial member!
Yeah!
