Good morning, Eli.

Good morning! I made you a breakfast sandwich. It's ready when you are.

Huh? Hey, there's no school today. You don't need to be in uniform.

I've got club activities at school today.

Oh, you do? Sounds like a tough time.

Oh no, it's just the opposite. Things are really fun right now!

She's been doing a fantastic job of setting up our schedule.

Who?

Well, there's this new girl who's been helping us with our school idol stuff.

Huh? Does that mean there's a new μ's member?

She said that she wanted to be a supporter to help us shine because she likes school idols so much.

Ohhh, so you don't have to be a school idol to help them, huh?

Yeah. She's involved with school idols in a different way from what we're used to.

A different way, huh? So that's why you seem like you're having so much fun, huh?

*Giggle* You're probably right. When I think about the new stuff we'll get to do, I can't help but smile.

So, there's someone helping you. I'm happy to hear about that!

Will I get to meet her sometime, too?

You know, let's make the opportunity. I do want to introduce her, and I want her to meet my dear sister.

Ehehe, looking forward to it!

She's someone who really likes you, Eli, so I'm sure I'll like her a bunch, too!

Oh, my!

What's wrong? Why the surprise?

N-Nothing special. It's just…

Eli, your face is all red. You sure you don't have a fever or something?

I-I'm fine! I'm fine, so don't worry about a thing.

*Stare*

A-Anyway! I have to get going to school. I'll be back around evening, so see you!

Sure! Good luck with your club activities, Eli!

[Fade in/out.]

Phew. That was a surprise.

Someone who really likes me, is it?
