I will grill up the meat! You wait over there, please.

I will cook it to utmost perfection!

Oh, you should have a drink with your meal too. Here, you can borrow this cup.

Ack! The vegetables have been burned to a crisp!

Don't fret! There's more than enough meat to make up for the lack of vegetables!

Now, it's about time for me to start grilling! Line up with your plates in hand, please!

Lanzhu's in a great mood, isn't she?

*Chuckle* Yeah, she's really peppy.

It's like I've seen a shocking new side of her.

Shocking how?

When I first went to go see one of your club's live shows, I thought of her as being super intense…

She had this really strong presence. I thought she'd be hard to approach.

But in reality she's just a really frank and friendly girl.

Yeah. She's brimming with the urge to help out.

That's exactly it.

Hey now! It's not the time to get carried away gossiping!

I've brought you some meat that's been grilled to perfection so you'd better eat up! Eat as much as you like! The night's only just getting started!

I-I don't think I'll be able to finish all of this…

No need to fret! With truly good meat, you don't even need to chew it before you swallow. You can practically glug it down!

Hey, you there! The Basketball Club has a game soon, right? You'd better eat a ton of meat so you can power up!

*Laugh* I'd be glad to, thanks. *Munch* Mm, delicious!

Right?! I'll cheer you on so that you can have even more energy!

I'll cheer right alongside you too!

Ahh!

They're in such high spirits!

Ai and Lanzhu are taking the stage! We have to get this on camera!

[Fade in/out.]

*Huff* *Puff*

Ahaha! I've never been cheered on like that before! I promise I'll use all the power you gave me on the court for our next match!

Then you'll win for sure!

Just you watch!

This is the perfect time to ask you something, if you don't mind. Why did you decide to become a school idol, Lanzhu?

With talent like that, I'm sure that you could have become a pro singer in no time. So why pick school idols?

*Giggle* You do say some silly things.

School idols are what make things fun, you know? And this way I can work alongside everyone in the School Idol Club!

Because those girls are all truly incredible!

You saw Ai just now, didn't you? She was bursting with the kind of charm you'd never see from a professional!

That's what I love so much about school idols, and it's why I want to keep being one!

[Fade in/out.]

Phew. I think that's enough tidying for now.

Ooh, there you are! I've been looking everywhere!

What's the matter, Lanzhu? Did something bad happen?

Not at all. I realized something earlier.

You told us to revisit our individual roots to use them as power, correct?

I admit that at first I thought I was too perfect to need to do such a thing, but talking with the Basketball Club head made it clear.

What's wonderful about me is how much I love everyone in the School Idol Club! Right?

And that feeling is what built the happiness I'm feeling right now.

You get it, right?

Lanzhu…

Yeah! It's exactly like you described!

That Basketball Club head is something else. It was really worth getting to chat with her!

That's why I wanted to come and tell you about this too.

Since I'm the supreme club president, I have to watch out for the regular club president—you!
