Whoa, there are so many school idols here! Everyone is so cute!

You're saying that about your rivals? You know this is a battle royale, right? Even all of us are rivals today!

But they're still cute. I can't wait to see what kind of songs everyone sings.

It's no good. You're just too pure of heart.

I memorized my song and dance, but…I can't help but feel uneasy and nervous.

I know how you feel. My heart always feels like it's going to explode before a show!

For all that talking you're doing, it makes it hard to believe you're so nervous.

I feel like I could fly when I think that everyone in here will have their eyes on me.

Give them that feeling and your number of fans'll be sky high! Ahaha. Okay, I'm feeling good today! Eight hours of sleep is amazing!

I slept a lot, so I feel good too!

Kanata, you never have any problem sleeping.

Ahaha! Looks like everyone is pretty normal. You doing okay, Ayumu?

Yeah. I'm a little nervous, of course.

(Today's event relies on audience voting to determine the winner, so who's good and who isn't will be made clear. It's tough, but winning will feel great.)

It's just about time to start. Do your best, guys! I'll be cheering for you!

Here we go!

[Fade in/out.]

Whew. It's finally over. My legs are still shaking.

Great work everyone! Those were some superb performances!

Setsuna, you were lying about being nervous, weren't you?! You too, Shizuko!

N-No! I was worried about missing a step the whole time!

Everyone did so well! I was very impressed.

(Ayumu lost in the first round of voting. The worst result from our club. I thought she would do well, but instead…)

Ayumu, there will be plenty of live shows to redeem yourself at!

Yeah, this is a huge audience for your first show. I'm sure your nerves didn't let you perform as best as you could.

I felt like your performance was wonderful, so…

What? I'm fine, guys.

Uh?

Working hard with you and showing everyone what I accomplished was fun, so I don't care about winning or losing, first or last place.

Ayumu…

(She's right. School idols aren't supposed to care about competitions. Is Ayumu really okay with this though?)
