Ch. 1 Ep. 2: School Idol Club?

You can't get the μ's and Aqours performance you saw with Ayumu yesterday out of your head. You search all around the school grounds, thinking there just might be a school idol at your own Nijigasaki High too.

The next day.

Player

(By the time school ended, I was just as excited as I'd been yesterday.)

[Fade in/out.]

Ayumu

Hey, what're you spacing out for? Feeling sick? Want to just go straight home today?

Player

Hey, Ayumu. You can go on ahead. I'm going to stay back for a while.

Ayumu

Wait, seriously? Got something you need to do? I mean, I could help if you want.

Player

Well, nothing serious, but after seeing that show yesterday…

Ayumu

Oh, yeah! That show really hit you hard, didn't it?

Player

Right, so, I got to thinking. Maybe I could look around school to see if we have our own idol club, you know?

Player

I just can't stop thinking about yesterday's show, and I want to find other fans.

Ayumu

Haha. Well, I figured you'd start something from how you were going on yesterday.

Player

Wait, you saw this coming?!

Ayumu

We've known each other for how long? Still, that's a field I don't know too much about, so…sorry?

Player

Hey, you don't need to apologize! I'm surprised how much I got into this myself. It feels like I just can't keep still, you know?

Player

I don't know if we actually have a school idol club, but I'm going to do my best to find it.

Ayumu

Well, our school's pretty big. There might be one.

Player

Yeah!

Ayumu

Want me to come with you?

Player

Oh, you don't have to. I'll tell you how it goes tomorrow, but cheer me up if I don't find anything, okay?

Ayumu

Got it. Hope you find what you're after. See you tomorrow!

[Fade in/out.]

Player

Phew…

Player

(So, I'm looking for the school idol club on my own, but where would it be? The field? The AV room? The broadcasting room?)

Player

(There're just too many choices to…)

Player

(Wait, I know! The club ward! That's where all the school's clubs are gathered together, I remember!)

[Fade in/out.]

Player

All right, this is the last door on the second floor. If this isn't it, I guess we just don't have a school idol club?

Player

Ah!

Player

Is this it? It says school idol club, but…it seems a little emptier than expected.

[Fade out.]

Player

H-Hello?

[Fade in.]

Kasumi

…Hey, only members are allowed in here.

Player

U-Um, I was actually…well, looking for…

Kasumi

You from the camping club?

Player

The camping club?

Kasumi

If you're here about us handing over the room, you can hold your horses. The school idol club is being disbanded at the END of the month, so this is still our room!

Kasumi

And you're still coming to steal it away from us? You're going to make me cry! Wahhh!

Player

Huh?! W-Wait, don't cry! I'm not from the camping club; I'm actually looking for the school idol club! This is it, right?

Kasumi

Huh? Wait. Wait, you mean you're…not from the camping club?

Player

I'm not.

Kasumi

Oh! Oh, silly me, jumping to those conclusions, hehe. So, what did you need with the school idol club? Oh, are you looking to join?! Our doors are wide open!

Player

Er, I'm not actually looking to join. I was just wondering if our school had one.

Kasumi

Aww, you're not looking to join? Ohh. Well, what brings you here, then?

Player

Well, there's a deep reason for… Ah, okay, it's not that deep. I was just thinking that if this school had idols, I wanted to cheer them on.

Player

Anyway, you said something about the club being disbanded at the end of the month? Is that true?

Kasumi

It is. The student council president didn't pull any punches when she said that if our club wasn't going to accomplish anything, she was going to give it the axe.

Player

Wait, I just found the club and it's already on the way out? Isn't there something we can do?!

Kasumi

Believe me, I'd love to do something if I could! Even if we don't have that many members, school idols can go solo! And I've always wanted to be one!

Kasumi

I just don't want the club to end like this! Wahh!

Player

H-Hey, d-don't cry!

Kasumi

I've always wanted to be a school idol, ever since I was a kid. And when I got into high school, I thought it was finally my time! I didn't want this.

Kasumi

Being a school idol's all I've got. I just wanted to wear those cute costumes, to sing, to dance, to have everyone tell me how cute I was!

Player

Hey, if you can be a solo idol, how about asking the president to keep the club together if you accomplish some stuff? I mean, I could come with you if you're worried.

Kasumi

…Does that mean you'll be my manager?

Player

Manager? I don't really know what that would be like, but…I owe a lot to school idols, so I want to cheer you on, and…

Kasumi

That sounds like a manager to me! Oh my gosh, I've got a manager now! It's official!

Player

W-Wait, I didn't say anything about being your manager.

Kasumi

But you don't want the school idol club to get disbanded either, right? So we're on the same page, right?

Player

Right.

Kasumi

Then help me stop the school idol club from being disbanded! I want to stay a school idol, no matter what!

Player

All right. I don't want the club to go away, either. I want to cheer you idols on!

Kasumi

Hehe, then let's roll our sleeves up together! Oh! I haven't even introduced myself yet - I'm Kasumi Nakasu, a first year!

Player

Good to meet you, Kasumi.

Kasumi

Likewise! The school idol club needs your help - not to mention this school idol, too!

Player

I'll do anything I can to help!

Player

I kind of stumbled into something super big, but I'm really glad there's school idols in this school!

Player

I'm going to cheer my heart out for them!

Player

And if I can…I want to do it by their sides!
