Ch. 15 Ep. 2: Spread the Word and the Excitement!
The school idol club is overjoyed by the response from people who want to be volunteers, and is excited to make it all the way to the goal of 1,000. Volunteers are coming from Nijigasaki, as well as Otonokizaka and Uranohoshi.
Honoka
I saw the volunteer recruitment site!
Riko
Just looking at the page makes me think that this is going to be a really fun event!
Hanamaru
Thanks for such a nice website, zura!
Rina
*Giggle* Thanks for all the compliments, that makes us super happy. Right, Ai?
Ai
You and I made the site together, Rinari, so let's accept all the praise!
Rina
Oh yeah? I guess you're right!
Ai
All our hard work was worth it!
Kasumi
We're getting lots of people signing up to volunteer!
Umi
How many have signed up?
Setsuna
We checked right before heading over here and it was just under 300.
Hanayo
Oh wow! That many already?!
Shizuku
Even someone from Otonokizaka has promised to sign up.
Rin
Oh, that might be my friend!
Ruby
My friend also said she wanted to volunteer if her plans worked out!
Dia
Yes, and Uranohoshi's clubs would like to officially partner with the event as well. The student council has received so many questions about it.
Maki
Wow. Sounds like it's going great.
Eli
But we still need like another 700 people, so we're not out of the woods just yet.
Kanata
It'll be fine!
Eli
Yeah. But let's do everything we can so we don't have any regrets later.
Player
Mm-hmm, I definitely plan to. I was actually hoping we could discuss that today.
Nico
If I just put the word out, I bet I can draw in hundreds, EASY!
Rin
I don't think I could draw in hundreds, but…on my way to school, someone told me they were definitely going to sign up to volunteer.
Honoka
Someone at the shop said the same thing to me when I was working the register!
Nozomi
At the shrine, someone wrote, “May the School Idol Festival be a success!” on a wish plaque.
Kanan
It really feels like all eyes are on this event.
Chika
Yeah, I've been getting lots of comments about it on social media.
Yoshiko
Come to think of it, quite a few little demons told me they'd signed up during my last stream.
Ai
During mine too! I got a comment saying, “I just hit the button on the site to sign up!”
Kotori
Lately when we pass out flyers for the School Idol Festival, we run out really fast.
Mari
Wow, really? Us too! No matter how many we pass out, it's never enough.
Karin
I've been getting a lot of hits on my videos recently. That's definitely because the School Idol Festival's getting so much attention!
Ayumu
Oh, I watch your stretching videos too, Karin.
You
You should upload videos too, Ayumu! Especially since you're getting lots of fans lately.
Ayumu
N-No way! But I'll try and think of some things I can post about.
Player
(Everyone's already hard at work finding help…)
Player
(I wanted to talk about what we could do so we don't have any regrets, but it doesn't look like we need to. I've gotta work hard too!)
Player
So many people are watching and supporting us. We've gotta get permission to hold the event so we can live up to their expectations!
Nico
Of course we do. We're gonna make this School Idol Festival a hundred times better than their wildest dreams!
Kanata
But first we need 1,000 volunteers! Let's keep posting stuff to get the rest of the people we need.
Ai
Then we should record a video for the recruitment site! How about we go over to Nijigasaki? I think we should record it there.
Setsuna
That's a great idea! When we announced that the venue would be Nijigasaki High School, the reaction was huge and a lot of fellow school idols promised to participate.
Dia
I know we didn't really think about this in the beginning since we didn't know how big the event would be, but how many school idols are we planning to have perform now?
Player
It's the event of the season for school idols, after all. I was thinking of having everyone interested perform, with no participation cap.
Eli
In that case, we'll have to schedule everything very carefully.
Dia
You're right. And we'll need to go back to the beginning and reconsider our backup plans to cover any emergencies.
Player
I want to be thorough and do every possible thing that we can. It might be a lot of work, but let's put our heads together and make it worth the effort.
Player
But more than that, I think it's actually going to be a lot of fun!
Eli
We all feel the same. Let's prepare ourselves and do our very best.
Dia
Yes. Let's put all of our efforts into this so we have no regrets at all!
Maki
It looks like we're going to be very busy from here on out.
Nico
Are you saying you can't handle it?
Maki
Of course not. Things will definitely get busy, but in a fun way.
Riko
Yeah. Building something little by little and seeing it gradually take shape… It may be tough, but it's even more exciting to watch unfold.
Mari
In that case, I actually have something I want to try. Do you want to hear it?
Hanayo
Oh, I have something too!
Rina
I have something I'd like to attempt too. Rina-chan Board says, “Serious!”
Player
Me too! Let's all share our ideas and let's make this an event that nobody will ever forget!
