You all know what you're doing today, yes?

Let's do a quick review.

Today, we've got an interview and photoshoot with a fashion magazine.

This isn't a school idol magazine, meaning we'll be seen by people who don't know about school idols yet!

So basically…this is a chance for μ's to gain way more fans! Let's get our game faces on!

A fashion magazine? Like the ones Karin appears in, right?

Just thinking about us being in that kind of magazine is making me kind of nervous… Agh…!

Pull yourself together. These people are pros. Just relax and leave it to them. What's important is that you keep smiling.

I know that, but I can still imagine my face stiffening up when I look into the camera.

So having tons of people watching you at a live show is fine, but you can't deal with a camera?

Live shows are different. I'm focused on the performance then.

Well then, if you focus on the pictures and the shoot, it won't bother you, right?

They're completely different situations!

Hey, we can just wear our uniforms for the shoot, right?

How about having them shoot you in the swimsuit you wore this year, Kayo-chin? That would be cute!

Huh?! N-No way!

Aw, but you looked so good in it…

You're the one who looks great in a swimsuit, Rin! You looked incredible! I was captivated by how cute you were!

Kayo-chin…

All right, all right. We'll be in our uniforms, so relax. The shoot's starting now.

*Giggle* Watching you two argue like that made me forget all about my nerves.

Guys! The photoshoot went perfectly!

I can hardly believe myself.

You were incredibly cute, Umi!

Professional photographers are amazing. They really put us at ease.

The photographer kept saying how cute Kayo-chin was.

*Giggle* She said it to you plenty of times too, Rin! And I thought you were super cute too!

Ehehe. I hope they'll use the photo of me and Kayo-chin.

Eli-chi and Maki were wonderful as ever.

Yeah, I mean, they were both scouted as models! They're amazing!

It's not that big of a deal.

I think it is quite a big deal… Are you sure turning it down was the right choice?

A student has to study, first and foremost. On top of that, I'm on the student council and even a school idol. I don't have time for anything else.

How about you, Maki?

I'm just not interested in being a model.

That's so cool. I wish I had the chance to say something like that.

I can't imagine you ever will, Honoka.

What? Surely it'll happen just once, at least?!

Yeah, sure. All right, everyone. The interview's up next.

Time to really let everyone know the charm of μ's!

There are quite a few active school idols out there these days. How do you feel about that?

I'm just happy we get more chances to see so many more wonderful performances!

We can learn a lot from their production and performances. I pay close attention to their costumes, too.

It's reassuring knowing that there are so many of us out there. I hope we can work together to make school idols even more popular.

I'm sooo happy that I'm making so many new friends too!

All these groups are fantastic, sure, but μ's are still the best of the best!

Our riv— I mean, our fellow idols energize us and help us to keep slowly evolving. That's why it's better to have so many riv— I mean, friends!

Nico's true feelings are about to slip out…

What do you mean, slip out? I'm always super honest all the time! Nico-Nico-Ni!

…Well, having someone you can share a friendly rivalry with is a good thing.

It makes us wanna keep on pushing ourselves too!

[Fade in/out.]

Phew, we're finally done for the day!

I'm looking forward to seeing how the article turns out.

My heart goes out to the people at the publisher who have to turn that interview into an article.

Huh? Why?

I mean, I think Nico couldn't hide her true feelings.

I didn't do anything! It was a perfect interview with the galaxy's number one school idol, Nico-Ni!
