Ch. 33 Ep. 5: What's Fun Is Fun!
After seeing the success of the fansite campaign, Nico declares that this is prime time for her to write the best replies and guarantee her place as the most popular member! Her first consulter is…Honoka?!
Eli
All right, I've finished writing. How does this reply look? It's for the email from earlier.
Player
Let's see… Hmm… Yeah… I think it's good! It's very you.
Nozomi
I want to see it too! …I see. It's a little formal, but that's just how you are!
Player
Yeah. Her personality really shines through here.
Eli
I'm glad to hear that. I considered mixing some humor into it, but it felt odd for me to answer that way. So I figured I should stay true to myself.
Player
It really makes the reader want to follow in your footsteps and be more like you. I'm kind of jealous of the girl who's going to get this reply.
Nozomi
I bet you're going to get even more fans with this!
Eli
You flatter me.
Player
It's not just flattery! I really do think you'll get more fans too!
Maki
Nico, why are you making that weird face? What's wrong?
Nico
How could you tell the number one idol of this entire galaxy that she has a weird face?! The face I was making was meant to be like, my time has come at last!
Maki
You're not making any sense.
Nico
This goes for you too, Maki, but everyone here came up with so many awesome replies during this time. I'm sure the people who consulted us will be delighted too.
Nico
And the fansite is so popular! We're still getting a bunch of emails every day, even now.
Nico
And that means that it's finally time for me to rise to the occasion! Where are all the people who need my advice?!
Nozomi
Putting the reason for your motivation aside, I guess it's good that you're raring to go.
Nico
Hey, don't do me dirty like that!
Nico
Where are the lost lambs seeking guidance?! Bring them to me! I'll take any and all questions!
Honoka
Me! I've got something I want to ask you!
Nico
What?! You're meant to be one of the people giving answers!
Honoka
But I've got my own worries too! Please, Nicooo!
Nico
Oh, fine. I'll take your question as a warm-up. So what is it?
Honoka
Nico, do you think school is fun?
Nico
Not again. I've already told you a bunch of times that I think school is super fun!
Honoka
But can you tell me why specifically?
Nico
Specifically? Um…
Nico
Because I can be a school idol, duh. I can't really be a school idol without a school, can I?
Nico
This school lets me be a school idol, so I love it! Even if we do have to take tests, I still have so much fun I can hardly stand it!
Honoka
What about before you joined μ's? Did you still think of everything as fun when you were alone in the Idol Study Club?
Nico
Well, I…!
Nico
I did have some rough patches, but it was mostly fun.
Nico
I devoted all of my time and strength to something that I love. Who wouldn't enjoy themselves doing that?
Nico
And plus…I protected the clubroom believing that my wishes would be granted sooner or later.
Nico
I was pretty shocked when I saw you unprofessional bunch show up, though!
Rin
We were pretty shocked too…
Kotori
We even thought you were some kind of intruder…
Umi
Yes, we did…
Nico
Oh, forget about all that!
Nico
A-Anyway, we're getting off topic.
Nico
My point is that I didn't start to think that things weren't fun anymore just because everyone had left me.
Nico
As long as you're determined to still have fun by yourself, you'll find things that interest you. And if something is interesting, you'll enjoy it.
Nico
It's got nothing to do with what other people do! For me, anyway!
Honoka
I see… Yeah, you're right.
Honoka
Nico, you're so helpful!
Nico
Of course I am!
Nico
All right. That's enough warming up!
Nico
I'm going to keep chugging along with answering more emails! Bring me the questions!
