Ch. 1 Ep. 10: Start Again!

With Karin having joined, the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club's goals and how you'll reach them are coming together! You then seek out the most radiant former member, Setsuna, but you can't seem to find her no matter who you ask.

Player

Well, we've just got two more left. I want us to share information on any promising girls while we discuss where Setsuna might be.

Rina

No one I asked knew where Setsuna was.

Ai

Yeah, I asked everyone I could and got squat. This is a tough one!

Kanata

Looks like we'll have to make a School Idol Setsuna Yuki Search Team.

Ayumu

…Er… And what does that entail?

Kanata

We form an official search team and gather up eyewitness information from all over the school!

Shizuku

That's a…little dramatic.

Rina

…But sounds fun.

Kanata

I think that's what it'll take to find Setsuna, personally.

Player

Finding Setsuna sounds like it'll be tough.

Emma

No one in our year knows her, either. What year was she, again?

Ai

Well, she was famous from flying solo already, so there's no way she's a first year, right?

Karin

We're a really big school, so I think we'll have a lot of trouble if we don't have a lead.

Rina

But no one we've asked has seen her anywhere.

Karin

Yeah…

Kasumi

…Hey, maybe…and this is a big maybe. Maybe this is a trap on the president's part?!

Ai

A trap?!

Ayumu

What are you talking about, Kasumi?

Kasumi

Like, what if she kidnapped Setsuna so we'd waste all our time looking for her? Because I mean, you only really need five people to run a club!

Karin

…You're right. This should be enough people to run a club, easy. That's what the rules say, too.

Ai

How about we try negotiating with her?

Player

But we made a promise with the president, and I want to keep it.

Player

Once we start this school idol thing, we're going to face way tougher challenges. I want us to do our best now, so we can get to where we need to be.

Player

And don't worry. Since we're doing what we love, this is going to go really well - we'll see Setsuna, too. And I'm sure she'll come back then.

Ayumu

You really do love school idols, don't you?

Player

Well, don't we all?

Emma

You know, you're right. Let's look for Setsuna.

Karin

Yeah, let's give it a shot.

Shizuku

Sure!

Rina

Rina-chan Board says, “Let's do this!”

Ai

We've still got time till the end of the month, so let's give it our best!

[Fade in/out.]

Student Council President

Just as I thought! I knew you would do your best to gather up ten members and revive the club!

Player

Huh?

Kasumi

P-President?

Kanata

Huh? What? Wh-What's going on?

Student Council President

Ahh, nuts, I did it again! I forgot to turn off student president mode!

Player

Student…president mode? W-Wait, president, are you…Setsuna Yuki?

Setsuna

That's right. I'm Setsuna.

Setsuna

Now do you believe me?

Everyone

Hwah?!

Emma

Sh-She really is Setsuna.

Shizuku

N-No way. I can't believe Setsuna was the student council president!

Karin

Wait, you saw her at assemblies but didn't recognize her? Even though you used to work together?

Kanata

That's when I always sleep.

Shizuku

I'm shocked that I couldn't recognize her.

Kasumi

You're the student council president and a school idol at the same time? Th-That's no fair. And I can't believe I called you a robot, Setsuna!

Setsuna

Haha, well… I was pretty mean to you, so you shouldn't worry about that. I'm the one who should apologize.

Kasumi

*Whine* Setsunaaa!

Kasumi

B-But, why'd you tell us to do something as tough as get ten members? You didn't want the club to get disbanded either, right?!

Setsuna

I wanted to keep it going, but…I was afraid. Since I'm the one who brought us this low.

Shizuku

No one thinks it's your fault, Setsuna!

Setsuna

No, I loved school idols so much and couldn't contain it. I wanted to share those feelings with everyone, so I pushed so much onto you girls.

Setsuna

I knew it wasn't right, but I couldn't help myself. And I was really afraid that would distance me from all of you.

Player

But you were watching over us while playing it off as coincidence, right? Doesn't that mean you want to start things over, too?

Setsuna

I figured that…if you were passionate enough to gather up ten people, it might actually work this time. Haha, pretty selfish of me, huh?

Player

Not at all! And hear us out: We thought up a new way of doing things for the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club!

Kanata

Yeah, Setsuna, she came up with a really nice ideaaa.

Emma

Yeah, I think it'll really work out for us!

Kasumi

That's right! So you'll come back too, right Setsuna?

Shizuku

Look at how many idol hopefuls we have! Join our new school idol club, Setsuna!

Setsuna

Girls…

Setsuna

I'm a little worried, though. What if I start again, and my love of idols goes wild?

Player

Don't worry! Let me take all that love and use it to cheer you all on!

Player

Because everyone here loves school idols, too! You're among friends!

Setsuna

Thank you. Thank you so much!
Please, let me officially join the school idol club!

Player

Now we've got nine members! And it feels like we'll find our tenth really soon!

Setsuna

Oh, I think we've already found her.

Ayumu

Yeah!

Karin

Everyone knows, right?

Ai

You're the only one who hasn't figured it out.

Rina

You're being quite dense.

Emma

You really can't tell?

Kanata

Even I can tell, and I'm half asleeeep.

Shizuku

Who's the one who brought us all together?

Kasumi

The person who was so nervous on the first day she dashed the opposite direction of the student council room!

Player

Huh? Er…

Setsuna

I told you to get ten members of the school idol club, but I didn't tell you to get ten school idols.

Player

Huh?

Setsuna

I'm looking right at the tenth.

Everyone

It's you!

Player

Me?!

[Fade in/out.]

Kasumi

The school idol club is back in business!

Player

Th-Thank you, everyone! Now I can cheer you school idols on!

Setsuna

There is just one thing I'd like to ask, since we've started again. I want you to be our new chief!

Player

Huh?! Me?!

Setsuna

You're the one who brought us all together and made the club again. If you're at the center, I'm sure it'll work out this time!

Ayumu

I'm for it! I mean, you're the one who got us into this!

Shizuku

I think it's a good idea, too! Without you, I don't think I would have been able to be so honest about wanting to return.

Kanata

Yeah, without you, those tests would have destroyed me.

Ai

No one's got any objections, right?!

Setsuna

…Well, how about it?

Player

I-I promise to always be on your side, everyone, no matter what happens! I'll cheer you on with everything I've got!

Karin

All right, Chief, what's the first thing our club's going to do?

Player

Well, um, we could go for…

Rina

Go for what?

Player

The School Idol Festival!

Everyone

The what?!

Ayumu

THAT'S what we're starting with?!

Player

Well, that's where all of the school idol fans gather, right? It's like a school idol culture festival!

Player

I want us to be in the School Idol Festival as Nijigasaki High School's idols!

Emma

Y-You really think we can pull it off?

Rina

Aim for the top.

Karin

Rina's right, it's a pretty big target, but that makes it all the more worth overcoming!

Ayumu

W-Well… If you say so, I'll do my best!

Kanata

This is no time for napping, huh?

Ai

All right, my soul's on fire now!

Setsuna

It's the stage of my dreams!

Shizuku

The biggest school idol event, with idols from all over the country!

Kasumi

That means ÎĽ's and Aqours are going to be there, too! We'll be on the same stage as them, it'll be huge!

Player

The Nijigasaki High School Idol Club is back in business! Let's do our best, everyone!

Everyone

Yeah!
