Ch. 20 Ep. 9: Go! Go! Guerrilla Gig!
The club has successfully started secret rumors about their guerrilla gig. Now they'll finally be able to perform! People are sure to love the club's performance if they see it. Excitement for the show is skyrocketing!
Rina
The weather's great. Rina-chan Board says, “Shine.”
Shizuku
At last, today's the day!
Kasumi
Our days of disgrace end today. We'll show everyone just who the real deal is!
Emma
After all, we've practiced so much all for today.
Ayumu
I'm still a little nervous all the same. But I'm more excited.
Setsuna
It's like we're on a mission as part of a secret society!
Kanata
I even woke up earlier than usual.
Player
I get that everyone's excited, but make sure you act like normal until school's over for the day.
Shizuku
Oh! Right! Gotta be unreadable. Poker face.
Player
Let those feelings of yours explode after school and get them across to the people waiting to see all of you perform!
[Fade in/out.]
Lanzhu
Oh? Are you about to have lunch now too?
Player
Y-Yeah.
Lanzhu
With…everyone else in your club?
Player
Well, yeah…
Lanzhu
Perfect! Then I'll invite you to my lunch buffet!
Lanzhu
Today I've had it prepared by a French restaurant that's in a hotel I often go to. It's really delicious!
Lanzhu
You must be totally sick of the school cafeteria food, right? I'll treat all your club members to lunch! You don't have to join the Association.
Lanzhu
Come and talk school idols with me. I'll tell you something I'm sure you'll all be thrilled hear!
Lanzhu
You can come along too, so invite everyone over!
Player
Um… We've all brought our lunches today!
Lanzhu
What?! You don't want to have lunch with me?!
Player
W-We might end up with upset stomachs since we're not used to eating food like that. Sorry.
Lanzhu
That's the problem? But you just have to get used to it.
Player
I'm really sorry! Bye!
Lanzhu
Wait! I'll help you get familiar with the finer things in life!
[Fade in/out.]
Emma
Hey, listen up! I just had a look and we've got quite a crowd of people gathering!
Shizuku
Our plan's a huge success!
Kanata
I've heard rumors from around three different places myself!
Rina
The rumors spread really fast. That means there are lots of people who've been waiting for us, right?
Ayumu
Aww, I love hearing that. It's enough to make me feel like they're really behind us.
Kasumi
Ayumu! Don't get too satisfied too soon!
Setsuna
She's right. We need to give it all we've got on stage!
Player
All right, everyone! Let's go!
Player
Don't worry about the Association and just get out there and enjoy yourselves in your own ways like you always do!
Ayumu and co.
Yeah!
[Fade in/out.]
Kasumi
Sorry to keep you all waiting! Welcome to the School Idol Club's surprise live show!
Kasumi
Our very first performer is me, Kasumin!
Shizuku
Huh? Why is the audience murmuring and stirring?
Kanata
I wonder what's up.
Female Student A
Hey! The School Idol Association is apparently performing a flash live show in the auditorium!
Setsuna
What?! I didn't hear anything about the Association performing a live show!
Rina
O-Oh, our live show's about to start, though… Guys?
Emma
No way…
Ayumu
Is everyone going to watch the Association's live show?
Kasumi
U-Um! It seems like the School Idol Association is performing a live show as well, but we're not gonna lose out to them!
Kasumi
We've worked really hard leading up to today so that we'd have a good time with everyone! Come and see the fruits of our labor!
Shizuku
I can't believe we've got so few people left here.
Setsuna
Does that mean the School Idol Association is more appealing than us?
Rina
That can't be…
Kasumi
Feast your eyes on me!
Kasumi
Heh heh heh! The people still here are in for a treat, because you get to be the first ones to see the new-and-improved me!
Kasumi
Come on now, since you're here you might as well move right up to the front! Don't be shy! You might not get another chance like this!
Kasumi
Make sure you watch me nice and up close! Real close now!
Kasumi
The Association might be better at singing and dancing, and I might still have a long way to go, but I can stand proud against them long as everyone continues to support me!
Kasumi
Because I'm the only one who can perform MY very own live show!
Kasumi
It's the place where I'm the cutest and the most amazing!
Kasumi
Um…
Kasumi
I… I'm gonna give it my all to make this an awesome live show, so let's get fired up together!
Shizuku
Kasumi…
Player
You said it, Kasumi! Give it all you've got!
Ayumu
Kasumiii!
Kanata
Come on, everyone! Let's cheer for her!
Shizuku
Y-You've got this!
Kasumi
*Giggle* Here I go! This is Diamond!
Player
You're up next, Emma! Have fun out there!
Emma
I will! Kasumi's song filled me with energy! I'm gonna go out and sing my heart out!
Player
Get ready on standby, Kanata.
Kanata
Okay!
Kasumi
*Huff* *Huff*
Shizuku
Kasumi!
Kasumi
Oh, Shizuko. *Huff* *Wheeze*
Shizuku
Um, are you okay?
Kasumi
That was a blast!
Kasumi
*Giggle* Why was I close to tears at the beginning when I know everyone is on my side when I'm up on stage?!
Kasumi
You saw it too, right, Shizuko? Everyone had huge smiles on their faces, just like me!
Shizuku
Y-Yeah.
Kasumi
I knew it already, but I was totally outta-this-world adorable today, just like every other day! You thought so too, right, Shizuko?
Shizuku
Right! Yeah, I agree!
Kasumi
Oh, Preeez! Prez! Prez! How was I?
Player
You were the cutest ever! I guess you just keep on getting cuter and cuter, huh?
Kasumi
*Giggle* I guess I do!
Shizuku
Kasumi, you're really incredible.
Ayumu
Hm? Did you say something, Shizuku?
Shizuku
N-No, nothing.
Player
Shizuku, it's almost your turn.
Shizuku
Oh! R-Right!
Shizuku
Ow!
Player
Whoa! Are you okay?! Shizuku!
Shizuku
S-Sorry! I just stumbled, that's all.
Shizuku
*Inhale* *Exhale*
Shizuku
Yeah, I'm okay. No problem.
Player
Thank goodness. Off you go, Shizuku! Show the audience the world of Shizuku, with all of your might!
Shizuku
I will!
