Ch. 22 Ep. 10a: Warm Hands
Rina proposes that the next guerrilla gig should be streamed online. The other Club members pitch in with their ideas to make the live show more exciting. It's decided that Mia should be a part of this live show, too.
Ayumu
Greetings, everyone watching online! I'm Ayumu Uehara, of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club!
Ayumu
We're trying something new this time around, and would like to share our songs with you. Take it away, Kasumi!
[Fade in/out.]
Kasumi
Hey guys! It's your dear Kasumin!
Kasumi
Can you tell that I'm at a completely different location than Ayumu? Actually, all of us are in different places today!
Kasumi
Wanna know why? Lemme fill you in. We decided to do a simultaneous live show, but from different locations!
Kasumi
Here's Setsuna to tell you more.

Setsuna
You may be wondering why we decided to do a live show in this unusual format. You'll see why soon.
Setsuna
All I can tell you right now is that this time, we can finally go all out with our show! Let's have a great time together, from beginning to end!
Setsuna
Our first song will be introduced by…Shizuku! Over to you!
[Fade in/out.]
Shizuku
Thanks, Setsuna. Hi everyone, this is Shizuku Osaka. Our first song will be “Anata no Risou no Heroine.” We hope you like it!

Player
The stream is going well so far.
Rina
So far, yeah. But the real dramatic moment will be when the Monitoring Committee shows up. That'll be the real challenge.
Player
Don't worry. I'm sure that everyone can handle it.
Rina
I think so too.

School Monitor (Satsuki)
This is an unauthorized live show. Cease this performance immediately!
Shizuku
The school monitors have found me, so I'm going to shut this down and head to the next stage. In the meantime, I'll connect you guys with Emma.

Emma
Hey guys, it's me! Did you figure out why we're all in different locations, yet?
Emma
That's right. We're going to pass the virtual baton to each other whenever someone gets interrupted.
Emma
And, if someone does get interrupted, they can quickly go somewhere else and await their next turn. That's how we're going to perform a full live sh–
School Monitor (Uzuki)
Turn that off! Right now!
Emma
Aw, they're here already? That's too bad, but I better get a move on. Over to you, Kanata!
[Fade in/out.]
Kanata
Whoa, it's my turn already?
Kanata
Are you guys ready for another song? Let's get cozy together! Here's “Nemureru Mori ni Ikitai na.”
[Fade in/out.]
Player
The audience is loving this!
Rina
The comments just keep coming…!
Rina
“My heart's racing! You never know when the school monitors will show up!” “I'm so anxious, but I can't look away!” “Let them finish their songs, please!”
Player
This is all because of you, Rina. Everyone's having a great time!
Rina
We planned it together, using teamwork. Rina-chan Board says, “Victory!”
Player
Rina, the camera will be ready soon. Take care of Mia out there!
Rina
You got it!

Mia
*Inhale* *Exhale*
Rina
You'll do great, Mia.
Mia
Rina…
Mia
Are you really sure about this? I might disgrace my family again… I honestly need more practice, too. I shouldn't be doing this…
Rina
Your hands are so cold, Mia. You must be nervous. Lemme warm you up until it's your turn on camera.
Rina
I do much better when my hands are warm. If you're the same, then that's one more thing we have in common.
Mia
Hahaha, how many commonalities are you hoping to find?
Rina
Lots!
[Fade in/out.]
Kanata
Yay, I got through the entire song!
Kanata
Next up, we have a special guest to sing for us.
Kanata
Do you know who it is? I think you're gonna be really surprised! Our special guest is…

Mia
Hi. I'm Mia Taylor.
Mia
They're letting me be a part of today's School Idol Club live show.
Mia
Thanks to my super-meddlesome, super-cool friend Rina, I get to stand here before you today.
Mia
I've actually never performed any songs that I wrote myself.
Mia
So today, I want to prove to you guys that I'm the best at singing my own songs.
Mia
Here we go. This one is called, “I'm Still…”
