Hey, I heard you've been going around asking the presidents of every club for help.

Ack, the jig's already up?

I heard too! The Softball, Volleyball, and Soccer Clubs are all raring to go.

The Theater Club was also talking about it. They were even discussing making a banner everyone could hold.

Huh? What is it? What are you all talking about?

We're just talking about how hard our club president is working.

On what? Why don't I know anything about this? Tell me!

Um, I've been asking all the people who have helped us along the way if they wouldn't mind appearing in the School Idol Exhibition as school idols.

Whaaat?! No way will everyone fit on stage!

*Chuckle* I've been asking them to do it in their own styles, of course.

You recognized that my desire to support everyone is also a school idol contribution, right?

So I'm inviting everyone to become a representative of Nijigasaki in their own way.

Everyone can be a school idol if they enjoy the event in their own way, by doing things like giving their support or making things more exciting.

I want to create a new kind of live show performance that includes all of that.

We might as well put in everything we want if we're going to get disqualified anyway. I want to leave no regrets and pay back all the feelings I've received from everyone!

*Giggle* You've become quite bold yourself.

I don't hate it though. We're already this far along, so let's go all out and surprise Miss Kaoruko.

Yeah!

[Fade in/out.]

Are the school audition results really getting announced in the auditorium?

Yes. Everyone's already there.

Really? I guess that's fine.

So who won in the end?

That's a secret I have to keep even from you!

Whaaat? Just tell me!

You'll be in for a big surprise when you hear the results. Come on, let's head over there quick!

Aww, stop making me wait!

[Fade in/out.]

Huh? What is this?

It's the announcement for the school audition results.

Um… Everyone wants to know the winner, so I get why people would be here to watch… But what are they all doing up on stage?

Oh, I get it. You're going to turn the lights off and then hit the winning group with a spotlight, huh. Sorry, continue.

Nope. What you see in front of you is the result of the school auditions. They're all Nijigasaki's school idol representatives.

What? The girls representing Nijigasaki are…

All of us gathered here!

Huh?

It's literally everyone here. The people here watching aren't just audience members. They're also school idols.

Um…

Kaoruko, this is the answer we came up with. We all had a discussion and decided on this.

Everyone here is having fun as school idols in their own way.

We think that school idols refer to everyone who enjoys the work of school idols.

Everyone has their own way of contributing. That means that singing and dancing like we do counts…

And giving your support also counts!

And so does talking about school idols.

We know we're breaking the rules, but even so, this was the only answer we could choose.

All the girls gathered here are Nijigasaki's school idols and I want to show them off to the whole country!

Please watch our performance, Miss Kaoruko.

Then I think you'll get what we're trying to say!

We will sing for you a song packed full of all of our sentiments.

…All right. Show me what you've got.

You're not going to be so calm for much longer. We'll make sure of it! Don't look away now!

The school idols of Nijigasaki can and will surpass anything and everything!
