Honoka, you're going to get home late if you don't leave soon.

Oh… You two can leave first.

How could we just leave you here when you're in a daze like this?

You two are so nice to me…

Hrm… I'm still having a lot of trouble with the email asking what's so fun about school.

And it's not so surprising to struggle with that. What one may find fun about school varies from person to person, after all.

Yeah. And I was thinking that maybe the girl who wrote the email knows that too…

What do you mean?

I think maybe what she really wants to hear is different from what she actually wrote down.

Like… We should answer the questions she asked about if we like school and what we like about it, right?

But even if we tell her what we like, her reaction would probably just be like, “Hmm, okay.” Don't you think? That's not advice that'll solve her worries, is it?

Now that you mention it, the way the email was written does seem a little odd for an advice column…

She probably wants to make school fun for herself as well. So I think what she actually wants to ask about is how she can think of school as a fun place.

That's just what I think anyway. Maybe I'm wrong.

I don't think you're wrong at all.

Because if she were fine with school being boring, she wouldn't have sent in that question.

Having fun is always better than not, so I think she wanted to find a clue on how to make it fun for herself by asking us why we like school.

I agree. That does seem to be the case.

Then if we follow that line of thought… We could say that school can be fun or boring depending on if it's a place where you can pursue your passions, like Nico said.

If we just tell her things that we think are fun, I don't think that would do much to help her.

Yeah…

I think there are things that the writer would find fun.

But maybe she just hasn't found what she likes yet. Or maybe there's something stopping her from doing what she already likes.

I think if she gathers the courage to take action, her world could change in an instant.

That was what it was like for me, after all.

So I want her to take that step. I want her to start doing something fun for herself.

Hey, Umi? Kotori? Do you remember when we first started μ's?

[Fade in/out.]

One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. Honoka. Kotori. You must match your movements to each other.

I-I know, but…

No complaints now. You were the one who wanted us to become school idols, after all.

I know that!

So no more whining. Again! One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four! Kotori, you are lagging behind.

I… I can't raise my feet anymore!

Yes, you can. If you can move your mouth, you can move your body! One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four.

Eeeeeek! Umi, you demon!

[Fade in/out.]

There is no way I could ever forget when we started this.

I remember it very clearly too. *Giggle* We were aching all over by the end.

Umi's training was way too tough!

That was the bare minimum!

Ahaha. Yeah, you're right. We were only able to learn to dance like that because you were so strict on us.

Your entire world can change in an instant because of the tiniest push, just like that.

My life is so much fun right now. I've always liked school, but since becoming a school idol and making friends with everyone in μ's, it's only gotten more fun.

I also got to meet all the Aqours and Nijigasaki girls, participate in the School Idol Festival, and now we're a part of the School Idol Exhibition.

What I find fun and what the writer thinks is fun might be different, but I think we both just want to enjoy ourselves.

That's my opinion, anyway. I think I could pass those feelings onto her!

Once she gets it, I think she'd be a step closer to finding something that she enjoys. I think we can help lead her to it, even if only part of the way.

Do you mean that we should convey our enjoyment through a μ's song?

Yeah! And how about if we used that to make our promo video for the School Idol Exhibition?

The main theme of the event is to represent our school, right?

I love our school and think it's the best and most fun ever, so I want to take those feelings and turn them into something more tangible.

I'd love for that girl and everyone else across the country to see it!

*Giggle* I think that's our only option now.

I agree. However, what song should we use?

The song that started it all! Wasn't listening to it together so exciting? It was at that moment that I realized a new door was opening and that we were going to change forever!

Yes. I remember my heart quivering with excitement.

Maki did so well turning our feelings into a song!

Then let's talk this over with everyone! I propose our promo video song to be…

…“START: DASH!!”
