Argh, why? I just don't get it!

What's wrong? Struggling with some tricky homework?

Nope, not homework. It's Mifune.

You don't understand her?

C'mon, why should we care about that mean ol' hater anyway?

Yeah! We kept our part of the deal and scored over 60 on our exams, so it's not fair that she's still trying to abolish our club.

She's the student council president, so why won't she keep her own promise?

Yeah… Why is she so set on getting rid of the school idol club?

That's exactly what I'm trying to figure out.

How do you mean?

Mifune's methods might be a little forceful, but she generally acts for the good of everyone, right?

She does make sure that clubs have all the things they need, at least.

Yeah, except for ours.

It appears as though the students are more and more in support of her on account of her proactive work.

Yup, she's pretty popular in my class, too.

Hmph! I don't buy it. We tried so hard on our exams, so you'd think she could at least be nice to us.

Don't you think it's weird, though? She's working for the entire student body, so surely she's a good person at heart…

So why would someone like that be so adamant about closing down OUR club and nobody else's?

That's a good point. She says there's no benefit to school idols, but is that really reason enough to abolish the whole club?

I don't know. I really think this is over-the-top, even for her.

After seeing how she works with the other clubs, it does seem rather unusual for her to simply tell us to disband.

Well then, why don't we go ask her about it?

I kind of doubt she'd be up-front with us.

Knowing her, she'd probably cut us off before we even get a chance to say anything.

What would we even do with that information in the first place?

If we hear her out, we might be able to figure out a way to keep her from getting rid of our club. I want to try and mend our relationship with her.

Is that even possible?

We'll just have to pray that it is and talk to her like Ayumu suggested.

I suppose you're right. We'll ask her why she wants to get rid of our club, then explain our position as well.

I sure hope that makes her have a change of heart.

Me too!

Hm, who could that be? Oh! Honoka?

[Fade in/out.]

Got it. I'll tell the others. Okay, bye.

What did Honoka want?

She invited all of us to a School Idol Festival Planning Committee camp this weekend.

A camp?

Ooh, that sounds amazing!

While I am concerned about Mifune, it is important for us right now to make sure that the School Idol Festival is a success.

We left the other groups to do a lot of the work while we were preoccupied with our exams, so I think this will be the perfect opportunity to have a full discussion!

I'm all in, too!

Does that mean we'll be practicing with the others at this camp too?

Practicing with everyone else? I like the sound of that.

I'm so excited.

Should we bring playing cards or something?

We are not going on this camp purely to have fun.

I know, but like, we're not gonna be having meetings and practices all day long, right? Just a bit of fun before we go to sleep!

Yeah! Just a little!

That means we gotta have pillow fights, too!

I'll think of some games as well.

Me too. I wanna play my heart out.

Me three! Er, I mean, I'll make this camp a productive one no matter what!

Yeah, let's get amped for the camp!

Hahaha. I hope we'll have a lot of fun there.

Huh? Honoka again?

Hello? What's up? Huh? Oh, really? Okay, got it.

Again? Did she forget to mention something?

Well, the camp was gonna be held at Chika's ryokan inn, but both Chika's and Mari's places are pretty packed on the weekend.

She couldn't find anywhere that could hold all of us, so each group is gonna have to downsize a bit…
