Hellooo!

Oh! Welcome! Take a seat.

Oops! Just a second! Sorry about all the stacks of paper. I'll get them out of the way right now.

I'll help. Oh, is this…info on all the songs μ's have written up until now?

Yeah. These are very important documents that no one else is allowed to see!

Whoooaaa! Oh wow, this is incredible! So the secrets to μ's' songs are all gathered here!

I-It's not worth getting that excited over.

What are you talking about?! It totally is! There's even stuff about the choreography and drafts for the outfits! All of this right here is the history of μ's!

If it makes you that happy to look at then you can look at this too! This is the way that Umi makes the lyrics—

Honoka! No! What you have there is the most confidential of secrets!

All right, all right. We understand. Now let's get all these scattered sheets cleaned up.

Um, since you have papers like this laid out… Does that mean you were in the middle of planning for the promo video?

If you were then I'm sorry for interrupting. I'll come back to talk about the advice column another day.

No, it's fine. It's true that we were talking about the promo video, but we haven't been able to break our stalemate.

Having to pick just one song is too hard!

Yeah. Every song is precious to us so it's difficult to play favorites.

Which is why we wanted to have all these papers out while we discussed things, but…

These papers, huh… This one here's on “Bokura no LIVE Kimi to no LIFE”, right?

That song is the first one Nozomi and I ever performed as school idols.

I remember thinking how rare it was to see you so nervous, Eli-chi!

I-I wasn't the only one! You were nervous yourself, weren't you?

Was I?

Ahaha. I never would have imagined it, but I guess you two get nervous sometimes too. Let's see… This one here is “Wonder Zone”.

Kotori wrote the lyrics for this one, right?

Yeah. But I was only able to write it with the help of Honoka and everyone else.

We gathered quite the crowd performing on the streets of Akihabara.

Now do you see why we remain unable to pick a single song?

Yeah, I do… Even I would have trouble narrowing the entire μ's discography down to one choice.

I think it's fantastic that each and every song is so important to us. But that's exactly why we should all pick one song together.

If we're gonna do this, then we have to discuss every point that we can think of.

Great point, Nico-chi. But I think we should talk about the advice column first!

Oh! Speaking of the advice column, I read the article on the fansite!

Wh-What did you think?

It was very well written. I can tell that you brushed it up a lot from the first draft. Good job!

Thanks!

Well, it was only as good as it was because of the awesome answers we gave with me at the helm!

Nico's taken a real liking to that article. I even saw her print it out.

Wha?! It wasn't like that!

Then what was it like? Do tell.

I was just… Oh, whatever!

Anyway, who cares? We've got other stuff we have to think about! Right, Honoka?

Yeah. We still haven't come up with a proper answer for the girl who wants to know what we like about school.

We all talked about the specific points of school that we liked, but I still feel like we're missing something…

It kind of feels like the more we think about it, the more stuck we get…

I've never even thought that school was boring before…

Right? It's not like I find it fun because I think the things we do at school are especially interesting. It's fun just as it is!

But we won't get through to her with that, will we?

Getting ready for school is a pain because I'm always sleepy and want to go back to bed.

But once I get to school I feel glad I dragged myself out of bed!

And yeah, it sucks when the student store sells out of my favorite bread, but that doesn't make me think school is any less fun!

Your face does become the very image of despair whenever you neglect to complete your homework, though.

*Giggle* You're right.

Well yeah, because then both Umi and my teacher yell at me!

Hold on, Honoka. You don't turn in your homework?

Eep…

Well, sooometimes! Really! I don't do it all the time! It just slips my mind! Happens to everyone, right?!

Why do I feel like it slips your mind more than anyone else?

C'mon, Maki! Back me up here!

Well, there we have it. Honoka's the kind of girl who can enjoy school even when she gets yelled at.

Not you too, Nozomi!

I just reeeaaally like school!!!
