Ch. 33 Ep. 10: Continue Onwards!
The Nijigasaki girls chatter excitedly about how ÎĽ's have inspired them to get to where they are after watching the promo video on the School Idol Exhibition site. ÎĽ's truly are powerful, but you can't let them take the lead!
Player
Guys, did you see ÎĽ's' promo video?
Ai
Of course! It was super-duper hype!
Karin
You helped with the filming, right? I'm a little envious that you got to see that performance up close.
Ai
Right?! It'd fill me with enough inspiration to last me a year!
Lanzhu
I'll give you both the inspiration you need!
Lanzhu
But yeah, that promo video was pretty cool! It even gave me goosebumps!
Mia
Yeah, it was. Song was nice too.
Mia
It was like… I could feel how much they hungered to shine as school idols. Like they wanted to grow more and more. I'm kinda curious about the songwriter now.
Ayumu
I read the article you wrote too. That promo video also acts as one of the advice replies, right?
Player
Yeah. Honoka thought about that email non-stop ever since she set eyes on it…
Ayumu
Even on the day we were hanging out together?
Shioriko
I remember thinking that she was quite distracted on that occasion, even by her standards.
Player
You guys noticed too?
Ayumu
Yeah. We admire her a lot, after all. So we paid close attention to how she was feeling. Right, Shioriko?
Shioriko
Right.
Shizuku
I wonder if the girl who sent the email heard their message.
Player
She did! Loud and clear!
Rina
That's great. Can I ask what kind of trouble she wanted ÎĽ's to help with?
Player
I think I told you guys before—it was the girl who wasn't having fun at school. She said that her real aim was to know how she could start enjoying school.
Rina
Oh, from when you asked us to tell you what we liked about Nijigasaki…
Player
Yeah. She'd held back on doing what she loved, but after seeing ÎĽ's' video she decided to stop suppressing herself. Now she's found the thing that makes school fun.
Kasumi
I get how she feels. Once I was agonizing over whether I should eat a strawberry shortcake or crepe cake, but I stopped trying to choose and ate both! And it was awesome!
Kanata
Hmmmmmm… That's…kind of similar, but also not.
Kasumi
What do you mean?! It's the same as in we both stopped trying to hold ourselves back and ended up with the best outcome!
Emma
Kasumi! I totally get what you're trying to say!
Kasumi
Emma! I knew you'd get it!
Emma
I get why the girl took action after watching ÎĽ's' promo video too.
Emma
Don't you just want to get up and do something after watching it?
Setsuna
Yes!
Setsuna
That's what's so mesmerizing about μ's… They've got the power to spur anyone watching into action.
Setsuna
I feel like ÎĽ's is always telling us to take advantage of our time and get up and move. Or that if there's something we want to do, then we should go ahead and do it.
Ayumu
Yeah. They give me a lot of courage. I want to take another step and move even further onwards.
Karin
We can all take that step together.
Ayumu
*Giggle* You're right!
Rina
But now that we've seen such an amazing promo video, I'm even more lost on what we should do. Rina-chan Board says, “Droop.”
Lanzhu
Which is why we should climb a volcano with a drone and—
Shioriko
Lanzhu. No.
Lanzhu
Whyyy?! I'm starting to run out of ideas here!
Mia
Did you find anything that could be a hint for us, Little Baby?
Player
Hmm… I think I've almost found our answer, but…
Player
I don't know how to explain it very well. Sorry.
Kanata
All good, all good! You must be tired from helping everyone out so much. Why don't you have a rest on Emma's lap?
Kanata
If you don't, I will!
Shizuku
Kanata, you mustn't. You need to go to the training room to do your workout with Lanzhu and the others after your run today.
Kanata
Oh, riiight. I have to keep up the hard work!
Kasumi
I'll do my best too! Even though I feel so lonely without Prez here with me!
Ayumu
I-I feel a little lonely too…
Lanzhu
I'll cheer you two up right away! Leave it to me!
Player
I know I can really count on you, Lanzhu. You're more of a club president than me.
Lanzhu
Oh, that's because I'm the supreme club president.
Kasumi
Huh? What the heck is a supreme club president?
Lanzhu
Well I mean, if she's the club president then I'm the supreme club president. Right?
Kasumi
Huuuh?! Seriously, what on earth are you talking about?!
Lanzhu
I think what I said makes perfect sense, though. What do you think, Shioriko?
Shioriko
Huh?! No, I think it's—
Player
Oh, sorry. I think the fansite is calling— Wait, Chika?
