The weather's great. Rina-chan Board says, “Shine.”

At last, today's the day!

Our days of disgrace end today. We'll show everyone just who the real deal is!

After all, we've practiced so much all for today.

I'm still a little nervous all the same. But I'm more excited.

It's like we're on a mission as part of a secret society!

I even woke up earlier than usual.

I get that everyone's excited, but make sure you act like normal until school's over for the day.

Oh! Right! Gotta be unreadable. Poker face.

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.]

Oh? Are you about to have lunch now too?

Y-Yeah.

With…everyone else in your club?

Well, yeah…

Perfect! Then I'll invite you to my lunch buffet!

Today I've had it prepared by a French restaurant that's in a hotel I often go to. It's really delicious!

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.

Come and talk school idols with me. I'll tell you something I'm sure you'll all be thrilled hear!

You can come along too, so invite everyone over!

Um… We've all brought our lunches today!

What?! You don't want to have lunch with me?!

W-We might end up with upset stomachs since we're not used to eating food like that. Sorry.

That's the problem? But you just have to get used to it.

I'm really sorry! Bye!

Wait! I'll help you get familiar with the finer things in life!

[Fade in/out.]

Hey, listen up! I just had a look and we've got quite a crowd of people gathering!

Our plan's a huge success!

I've heard rumors from around three different places myself!

The rumors spread really fast. That means there are lots of people who've been waiting for us, right?

Aww, I love hearing that. It's enough to make me feel like they're really behind us.

Ayumu! Don't get too satisfied too soon!

She's right. We need to give it all we've got on stage!

All right, everyone! Let's go!

Don't worry about the Association and just get out there and enjoy yourselves in your own ways like you always do!

Yeah!

[Fade in/out.]

Sorry to keep you all waiting! Welcome to the School Idol Club's surprise live show!

Our very first performer is me, Kasumin!

Huh? Why is the audience murmuring and stirring?

I wonder what's up.

Hey! The School Idol Association is apparently performing a flash live show in the auditorium!

What?! I didn't hear anything about the Association performing a live show!

O-Oh, our live show's about to start, though… Guys?

No way…

Is everyone going to watch the Association's live show?

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!

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!

I can't believe we've got so few people left here.

Does that mean the School Idol Association is more appealing than us?

That can't be…

Feast your eyes on me!

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!

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!

Make sure you watch me nice and up close! Real close now!

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!

Because I'm the only one who can perform MY very own live show!

It's the place where I'm the cutest and the most amazing!

Um…

I… I'm gonna give it my all to make this an awesome live show, so let's get fired up together!

Kasumi…

You said it, Kasumi! Give it all you've got!

Kasumiii!

Come on, everyone! Let's cheer for her!

Y-You've got this!

*Giggle* Here I go! This is Diamond!

You're up next, Emma! Have fun out there!

I will! Kasumi's song filled me with energy! I'm gonna go out and sing my heart out!

Get ready on standby, Kanata.

Okay!

*Huff* *Huff*

Kasumi!

Oh, Shizuko. *Huff* *Wheeze*

Um, are you okay?

That was a blast!

*Giggle* Why was I close to tears at the beginning when I know everyone is on my side when I'm up on stage?!

You saw it too, right, Shizuko? Everyone had huge smiles on their faces, just like me!

Y-Yeah.

I knew it already, but I was totally outta-this-world adorable today, just like every other day! You thought so too, right, Shizuko?

Right! Yeah, I agree!

Oh, Preeez! Prez! Prez! How was I?

You were the cutest ever! I guess you just keep on getting cuter and cuter, huh?

*Giggle* I guess I do!

Kasumi, you're really incredible.

Hm? Did you say something, Shizuku?

N-No, nothing.

Shizuku, it's almost your turn.

Oh! R-Right!

Ow!

Whoa! Are you okay?! Shizuku!

S-Sorry! I just stumbled, that's all.

*Inhale* *Exhale*

Yeah, I'm okay. No problem.

Thank goodness. Off you go, Shizuku! Show the audience the world of Shizuku, with all of your might!

I will!
