Ch. 42 Ep. 4: I Want to Amaze!

Eli, Nozomi, and Nico take a detour after practice. They couldn't decide what to do to shock the world during club time, so they chat about it.

Nico

*Sigh* I never expected that even with all nine of us together, we couldn't come up with a single good idea.

Nozomi

If it were so easy to come up with feats amazing enough to shock the world, the world would be a much livelier place.

Nico

Pull yourself together! I need you all to up your motivation!

Eli

Well, you're super motivated and you still haven't come up with a good idea, have you?

Nico

I-I just wasn't feeling great today, that's all!

Nozomi

*Giggle* Whatever you say!

Nozomi

Everyone has a different way of thinking, though…

Eli

If everyone were like Nico, the world would stop turning. One of her is enough.

Nico

It's not possible for anyone else out there to have my levels of charisma, anyway.

Eli

For sure, that's one of your positives.

Nico

I'm always positive!

Nozomi

Then the exam will be a piece of cake, right?

Nico

Ggh… Of course! My charisma will conquer all!

Nozomi

I see in my mind's eye…Nico-chi taking remedial classes all on her own.

Eli

It's almost guaranteed at this rate.

Nozomi

Well then, while Nico-chi's taking her remedial classes, why don't we go to an amusement park as a reward for our hard work on the test?

Eli

That sounds nice. Let's do it. Do your best in the classes, Nico.

Nico

Fine. I'll just have to knuckle down and study! One little test doesn't stand a chance against Nico giving it her all!

Nozomi

That's the stuff, Nico-chi.

Nico

But in exchange, you two are gonna study with me, right?

Eli

Of course.

Nozomi

Then should we head straight to my house for a study session once we're done here?

Eli

Sounds good. Let's do it.

Nico

Oh, uh, today? Can't we start tomorrow?

Eli

They say strike while the iron is hot, and you're all fired up right now. We can't just let this opportunity pass us by.

Nozomi

You're right. There's no time like the present, after all.

Nico

F-Fine, all right! I'll do it!

Eli

Yes, you just have to do it.

Nico

Hey. I'm really gonna give it my all, so you two better take this seriously too.

Nozomi

No need to worry. We're going to work you so hard you get a perfect score.

Eli

And I won't listen to any complaints, so you'd better get on with it.

Nico

No! That's not what I'm talking about!

Nozomi

Then what are you talking about?

Nico

Think hard about something amazing we can do to shock the world!

Nozomi

If you got perfect scores in every subject, that would shock everyone.

Eli

That's a great idea.

Nico

Arrrgh! Forget about that and come up with a good idea!

Nozomi

It's all well and good telling us to come up with something, but we couldn't do it just now even with all nine of us. Maybe we should ask someone outside the group?

Eli

Someone…outside the group? In that case…

Nico

You have someone in mind?

Eli

I did hear about this campaign the other day from one of the girls at Nijigasaki. Why don't we try that?

Nico

What kind of campaign?

Eli

They said they had been contacted by a publisher through their school idol fansite.

Eli

They're doing a feature on school idols in their upcoming magazine and asked if we wanted to join.

Nico

A magazine?! That sounds great! Why didn't you tell us sooner?!

Eli

I thought I would tell you after I'd heard all the details. What do you think, Nozomi?

Nozomi

It sounds good, right? I bet the others will wanna do it too.

Nico

Then it's settled! Eli, get all the details from that girl for us.

Eli

Understood. I'll do that.

Nico

*Giggle* Things have taken a fun turn, haven't they? We'll have to get everything ready to go ASAP!

Eli

Just remember, your studies for the test will be carried out as planned.

Nozomi

That's right. I think the campaign will go better if you're feeling bright and cheery because you got the test over with.

Nico

*Groan* All right, I get it already!
