Morning. What time is it?

Morning. It's just past noon.

It's already noon?! Aww, and I'm the last person awake. Someone should've woken me up.

You worked the hardest out of all of us, so you can sleep as much as you want.

Sleep as much as you want… Such beautiful words!

I bought some rice balls and sandwiches, so take your pick and have some!

Thanks for the food. But how about we upload that video before we eat?

Oh, a-already? I'm getting nervous now.

I wonder if people will watch it?

I'm sure they will. What's really important is how they'll react.

I'm so nervous…

It'll be fine! The promo video is a masterpiece! Everyone agreed it was awesome, right?

You're right. I am sure our feelings will be clear to everyone who watches our video.

Yeah, I think so too.

All right, are we ready then? Aaaand… Done!

What are the comments saying, zura?!

Ahaha, we literally JUST uploaded it! Give it some time!

Oh… Now I'm starting to get nervous. Could I have a rice ball to help calm me down?

Haha, here. Help yourself.

I know in my heart that it'll be okay, but I'm still nervous about it.

I think I feel more nervous now than I do before a live show…

Come on, get a hold of yourselves! Whatever happens, happens!

I know, I know, but still…

Oh! There's a comment! Huh? What's happening? The comments section is blowing up!

Whoa, whoa! The site can't keep up with all the comments appearing!

Wh-What do they say?

Let's see… “What a great promo video.” “Watching the video got me all excited.” “It looks like so much fun!” “I'm definitely going!”

All of the other messages are cheering us on. They're all really positive!

Yay! It's a hit!

I knew they'd love it!

Wow… More and more comments just keep flooding in. There's just no end to them.

Hey, we're also getting lots of emails coming through as well, you know?

Whoa, you're right. Let's see…

“I'm a school idol as well. It's my dream to make an appearance at the School Idol Festival and perform live on stage!”

We're getting e-mails from other school idols who want to participate one after another.

This is pretty much the best outcome we could've asked for, huh?

It's the bestest best outcome! Now I know we can do it… Our event is totally gonna be a success!

I can feel our dream becoming a reality.

Come Together, Dream Together… This is exactly what we're seeing right now.

Yeah! We're gonna make those dreams come true! Starting here and now!

Come Together, Dream Together!

Let's Make Our Dreams Come True, Together!

G-Guys! Listen up! A classmate of mine called me over when I came into class today! She said our event looks like fun!

Everyone was talking to us about it when Emma and I got back to the dorms yesterday too.

Yeah! Everyone was cheering us on and telling us they were definitely going!

I also received acclaim about the song. When I told people it was written by Riko of Aqours everyone was full of praise for her usual songwriting talents.

People had a lot to say about the footage too! They can definitely see just how hard we're working!

There were people who said they had it on loop, and I was, like, totally flattered!

I had people telling me they want to help out.

Oh, yeah! Me too. They figured we'd need help.

Ah, I can truly feel the love for school idols spreading across Japan!

Yeah, I couldn't agree more. The number of views and comments keeps on rising and our inbox is jam-packed with emails ever since we uploaded the video.

Even that stubborn Shioriko Mifune has to see how crazy it is to tell us to stop now! Right?!

If she comes at us again, we'll silence her ourselves!

Wow, Karin… That's pretty intense.

Why don't any of them get it? If they just followed my plans as instructed, it would lead them to success and it would be useful to them in their future endeavors.

And yet they still want to go about their ways despite knowing how useless their actions may be. It doesn't make any sense.

Reality will come crashing down on you if you continue to follow a dream incompatible with your talents.

Dreams don't come true. You wake up from them and are dragged back to reality. I know this.

That's all it is… I'm just trying to help them discover happiness in what is real. So why won't they…?
