Ch. 1 Ep. 1b: Support School Idols!
By chance you see a broadcast of μ's and Aqours performing together on one of Akihabara's big screens. Your first look at a school idol performance leaves you stunned by its shining glamour.
Player
(We'd just happened to walk by a big screen in Akihabara, showing μ's and Aqours having a concert. It was the first school idol show Ayumu and I had ever seen.)
Player
Whoa!
Passerby
Oh, sorry! You all right?
Player
I am, but…what's the crowd for? Is something happening?
Passerby
μ's and Aqours are having a joint concert, and it's being broadcast all over the country! You two didn't come to see it?
Ayumu
μ's and Aqours? You mean the school idols?
Passerby
Yeah! Looks like you're really lucky. This is the biggest screen you'll see them on, so watch if you've got time. You'll love it, I guarantee it!
Player
R-Right…
[Fade in/out.]
Player
Wow…
Ayumu
Hey, you all right?
Player
Oh, sorry, I was just kind of…overwhelmed. Just, the show, and everyone cheering, it was all so…
Ayumu
Yeah, I know what you mean! It really felt like we were all in it together.
Player
I think I really like school idols!
Nozomi
So how'd we all like the μ's and Aqours show?
Player
It was AMAZING!
Ayumu
Sh-She's not gonna hear you through the screen.
Player
Oh! Oh yeah. I just couldn't help myself.
Player
I mean, it was just so awesome to watch! So exciting! I had so much fun I thought I'd cry, and I've never felt that before!
Player
This is the first time I've really seen a school idol live show, and I had no idea they were this awesome! What have I been doing with my life?!
Player
Know what I mean, Ayumu?
Ayumu
E-Er, ah, sure, totally!
Yoshiko
So, my little demons… Are you ready to step through the School Idol Festival's gates?
Player
School Idol Festival?
Nico
School idols and their fans love the festival! They're definitely going to be there!
Ruby
We're going to do our best to make it a great festival, so come and see us!
Ayumu
A big festival for school idols, huh? I didn't know there was such a thing.
Player
Think there'll be shows like this one? Man, I want to check it out!
[Fade in/out.]
Player
Wow…
Ayumu
Haha, you've been totally starstruck.
Player
W-Well, you saw them, didn't you?! The show! The music! μ's and Aqours, they were just amazing!
Player
I mean, I knew of school idols before, but actually seeing them like this… It blew me away.
Player
Hey, what do you think that School Idol Festival they were talking about is like?
Ayumu
Let me look it up real quick. Ah, here we go. Hm. Well, to put it really plainly, it's like a school culture festival?
Player
A school culture festival? For school idols?
Ayumu
Yeah, check this out.
Player
It's seriously this big an event?! There're so many school idols and so many shows…and there're even food stalls?
Ayumu
And apparently, students like us run the whole thing.
Player
Seriously?! Wh-Whoa. They must really love school idols.
Ayumu
Wanna go?
Player
I totally do! Will you come with me?
Ayumu
Sure will!
Player
*Groan* I just wish there were school idols in Nijigasaki, too. Then I could go cheer them on.
