Whoa, are they really performing here today?! This venue is incredible!

I want to do a live show at a venue like this too!

Me too!

All the people here have come to see the Aqours live show, right? There are so many of them.

They've come from all across the country, after all.

The live show hasn't even started yet and there are already this many people! They must be so excited.

Yeah! Just like us.

*Giggle* Yeah.

Hey, check it out. This girl came all the way from up north in Tohoku!

I came over on a night bus!

And this one came from Hiroshima!

I came over yesterday and visited a spot featured in one of Aqours' videos!

Goodness, Ai! Have you made friends with them already?

What do you mean? We're all already friends here, aren't we?

I mean, they're Aqours fans, after all!

Oh, that's right. They told me earlier that there's a place exhibiting all the costumes that Aqours have worn so far! Let's go!

I-I wanna go!

I want to go as well! Are we allowed to take pictures of the costumes?!

Could that be what all those people are lining up for?

Wow, look at how long that line is! Aqours really is popular!

We'd better line up now!

Chika and the others really made an incredible promo video, huh.

It's a video that I can just keep on watching forever. It managed to show off all the experience that Aqours has earned over the years so well.

Yeah. They got their hopes and feelings across to so many people.

That's nothing. I could sing a song right now that'd be heard all across the whole world.

I'm not so sure about that.

What?! Are you saying can't I pull it off?!

I mean, I'd say that today, this is the one place you can't. It's Aqours' home turf, after all.

A school idol's home turf is their school. It's in the job title. That means their core fan base is naturally going to consist of students from their school.

Numazu is Aqours' home turf, right? Playing at home brings out a miraculous power in you, just like with baseball.

The cheers of the crowd directly affect your performance.

*Grumble* Then, I'll just have to show you that the world is my home turf!

Whoa, the world being your home turf sounds so cool!

*Giggle* I'm sure Lanzhu can make that a reality, considering how powerful she is.

Xiè xie! Together, the three of us are gonna make the world our home turf!

I'll do my best!

U-Uh, excuse me… You're Maki Nishikino from μ's, right?

Huh? Yeah, I am.

I knew it! We're big μ's fans. We never miss your live streams. We heard about this event from your last stream and traveled here all the way from Toyama!

Ooh, I've got fans all the way in Toyama? I'm too good at this idol thing.

W-Wait, I mean… A-Ahem.

Thank you so much for watching our live streams! I hope you have fun at Aqours' live show today!

Yeah! We hope you enjoy it too, Nico!

…And with that, those girls are now even bigger fans!

This is something about you I really respect, Nico.

That sure didn't sound like respect to me, though!

All right, all right.

Don't you “all right, all right” me!

C-Come on, you two, no fighting.

Don't worry, Rina-chi, they're not fighting. If anything, this is only happening because they care about each other too much.

That's a relief. Rina-chan Board says, “Phew.”

μ's really are famous, aren't they?

So is Nijigasaki, though? I mean—

Um, excuse me! You're Shioriko from Nijigasaki, right?

Huh?! Y-Yes. My name is Shioriko Mifune.

I saw the Nijigasaki promo video! Keep on doing your best!

Th-Thank you very much! I shall give it my all!

See? I told you!

Th-That was a surprise. Not even speaking in front of the entire school made my heart race as much as that did.

*Giggle* Then how about I hold your hand till you calm down?

Thank you very much, Rina.

Hey, guys! Gather round! We're getting let into the venue!
