An important challenge for Aqours…

Yeah. And us taking that big step forward right at that moment is how we met you!

Isn't that amazing?

Speaking of which, I never asked how you made that joint live show happen.

I'd love to hear about it if you don't mind! If it was an important challenge for Aqours, then I definitely want to know every last detail!

Mwahaha. In that case, I shall enlighten you. Now, it was—

It was back when the Aqours promo video started getting attention!

Hey! I wanted to tell her!

Anyway, when we first started getting noticed, we got an email asking us to come to an event in Tokyo.

That was such a surprise, zura…

We thought they'd contacted the wrong people by accident.

We were all starting to panic.

*Giggle* Yeah, we were.

We'd never imagined something like that happening back then, so it was just really surprising!

I mean, up to that point we'd just been doing club activities while fangirling over μ's.

Even Aqours had a time like that, huh…

So how did the event in Tokyo go?

The big city shook me, zura…

Well, I mean, it was Tokyo. We were all nervous, but still…

It was that very event that allowed us to see our first μ's live performance.

We were pretty far away from the stage, though.

I'm still disappointed about that. I wanted to see them up close!

But even from far away, I felt the power of their music! μ's is just the best!

When I watch them, I can feel this power spring out of me. It's like I get this overwhelming urge to just burst out running.

And that's when you said it, Chika.

Um… Uh, do you think…μ's and Aqours could play a show together?

Like, a joint live show?

Yeah. Do you think I'd be bothering them if I suggested it?

If we don't ask, we'll never know. We could send an email…?

Um… A-All right. What should I write in it?

Why don't you just be honest and write out exactly how you feel?

If I do that, then it's just going to turn into a regular fan letter…

Then do you want to stop? Give up?

N-No! I'm going to do it! I want to play a show with μ's!

I feel kind of nostalgic looking back like this.

So that's what happened. Did all three of you write that email?

We all wrote and sent it, but we mostly talked about how Chika felt.

There were so many things we wanted to tell them. It was hard to fit everything in.

It really did end up sounding like a fan letter after all.

So that joint live show came about because of Chika's courage, plus You and Riko's cooperation.

What a great story!

A day might even come when Aqours performs with those four school idols who wrote that letter from before!

After all, they started their club activities because of their love for Aqours.

Oh, so that's what you meant!

It's more than okay for us to keep looking up to μ's. In fact, we should!

After all, admiration is a driving force!

We started our school idol club because of our love for μ's.

The girls who wrote that letter started their own club because of Aqours. If they didn't have those same feelings, they wouldn't have gotten the ball rolling.

I thought we were the only ones chasing after something, but we're not.

Right. Now there are people looking up to us who also want to follow in our footsteps.

I've never thought about that before. I thought Aqours was something kept just between us. But looking at it now, I see that it's not.

Just like how μ's is in our hearts, Aqours is in the hearts of other people besides us.

I wonder if there's a version of Aqours floating around these that even we don't know about.

An Aqours we don't know, huh? I don't really know what that means, but it makes me super stoked! I totally wanna see it!

I'd also like to see a version of Aqours I've never seen before, but I'm sure there's also one out there that absolutely no one knows about yet.

Hey, why don't we make that our Aqours Challenge? Riko and I still haven't picked ours.

That's a great idea! There's no time like the present to put out more and more kinds of Aqours into the world. What do you think?

I want to do that with you both too!

Chika, haven't you already chosen your Aqours Challenge?

I want to do this as well to help make us the best we can be. Then we can surpass the Aqours we are now!

Well, we never said that the Aqours Challenges had to be one per person. Why not go for it?

Besides, I want to see the three of you taking on a challenge as a trio!

And it looks like we found the final piece we needed for our promo video, too.

The Aqours within other people's hearts… I want to put that into the video, zura!

Yes, we should put out the call to all those who continue to support us.

Yeah! Let's ask them to show us the Aqours inside their hearts!
