Nico-Nico-Ni! Nico-Nico-Ni!

Nico-Nico… Owowow!

Are you okay? Did your fingers cramp up?

I can't believe Nico. You're here to help and she's giving you these weird jobs.

Owww. I-I'm okay though! I want to complete the job Nico gave me!

You can't leave μ's in the hands of someone whose love for school idols is questionable. It's only natural for her to think that.

I don't know if she'll recognize my efforts, but I'm not going to give up.

I see… So you're serious about this.

Then we won't stop you. I'm sure Nico will realize how you feel, too.

I might not be serious enough, though. I'll have to practice even harder.

[Fade in/out.]

…

You're practicing really hard, huh?

Nico!

I can see your passion, but there's something I just don't understand.

Why do you want to help us, but not be a school idol yourself?

What do you mean by that?

I mean, you like school idols, right? You should just be a school idol yourself!

What?!

If you become a school idol, you can bathe in the shining spotlight and cheering voices. You can make it all your own! So why don't you?

(Nico became a school idol because she likes it.)

Nico, I…

I want to be the closest supporter to school idols.

I like them, so I want to help. That might not be how you think, though.

I know the spotlight and cheers will never be for me.

But my shining path lies in supporting everyone and helping them shine as bright as possible!

I see… So you've given this some serious thought.

A promise is a promise, though. You'll have to show me your passion to the very end!

Okay. It'll just be a little longer. Wait for me, Nico!

Do your best!
