Ch. 42 Ep. 6: Our Next Stage?!

The magazine's feature on school idols with μ's has been published. Through their photoshoot and interview, they've promoted their appeal as school idols, but what will that lead to?

Honoka

Morning!

Kotori

Huh? What's the matter with Rin?

Umi

What is she doing, sitting down there in the corner? Is she not feeling well?

Maki

It's not that. She's embarrassed.

Hanayo

You see, some girls who saw the magazine we appeared in came up to us this morning.

Maki

They said they didn't really know anything about school idols, but the magazine got them interested in us.

Maki

Particularly in Rin.

Hanayo

*Giggle* I mean, she was so cute in that magazine!

Honoka

I see! Well, that's good!

Rin

They called me cute even more than at the shoot, and I got kinda flustered.

Kotori

*Giggle* Did you properly thank them?

Rin

Y-Yeah. I told them I'd love it if they could give us their support.

Nico

Well, if that wasn't the perfect response! Rin, You've really matured!

Nico

Hey, look! The views on the promo video have jumped so much. This is what magazines can do for us!

Nico

Now the whole world shall once again know the name of μ's!

Eli

Everyone! I've got some big news!

Nozomi

W-W-We've just been asked if we want to be on TV!

Everyone

Whaaaaaat?!

Honoka

On TV? Like, television TV?!

Nico

I get it. Someone at the TV station saw the magazine, recognized my charm, and wants to give me my own show!

Maki

Just where do you get these ludicrous notions from?

Nico

It's not ludicrous!

Eli

It's not quite your own show, but you may be halfway right.

Nico

See!

Nozomi

Have you heard of the show, The Wisdom of Monju Hyper Battle Quiz?

Rin

I have! It's a quiz show with three-person teams!

Kotori

It's the one that gets a lot of famous athletes and singers, right?

Eli

Yes. They said they're putting together a high school student version.

Nozomi

They're gathering high school baseball players, bands, programmers, and others. They asked if we'd come on as a school idol team.

Honoka

Woooooow! That's amazing! We're gonna be on TV!

Nico

So, the TV industry has finally found me.

Nico

Eli, get back to them to say we'll do it right away! We're all set to shock the world!

Umi

If we agree, who will go? It'll be a three-person group, right?

Nozomi

They said they want one person from each grade to go on if we appear.

Kotori

One member from each grade, huh…

Hanayo

I-I-I can't do it! Rin, Maki, you go, please!

Rin

I've never gotten one question right on that show. I think Maki would be better. She's smart, after all!

Maki

What?! H-Hold on a minute!

Umi

Honoka would be a good pick for our second-year member.

Kotori

You're right.

Honoka

What? Are you sure? Neither of you want to be on TV?

Umi

I saw how happy you looked from the second you heard we had the chance to be on TV… Right, Kotori?

Kotori

*Giggle* Yep. Your eyes were practically sparkling.

Kotori

We're behind you, Honoka.

Honoka

Kotori… Umi…

Nico

Now, for the third-year member…

Nozomi

Why not Nico-chi?

Eli

Yes, I agree.

Nico

Wait, are you guys sure?

Eli

You look like you're raring to go.

Nico

Heh heh heh… Leave it to me. I'll spread the charm of μ's across every living room in Japan!

Umi

We have our answer, then. Honoka, Nico, and Maki will take part in the show.

Maki

I still haven't decided if I want to do it…

Hanayo

Please, Maki!

Rin

Makiii!

Maki

All right, all right! Fine! I guess I'll have to go do it!

Nozomi

Maki should be fine, but it is a quiz show. Do you think Honoka and Nico-chi will be up to it?

Nico

You pushed me to do this and then you say that?! Of course I'm up to it!

Umi

Nozomi's concerns are valid. Although you avoided failing the test the other day, neither of you are particularly studious.

Honoka

Quit being so meeean!

Eli

We can't let you embarrass yourselves in front of the whole country. Let's do some special training!

Nozomi

With that settled, let's get into some super fun studying right away!

Nico

I finally got that test out of the way and now I'm studying again…

Eli

Let's get started. Brace yourselves, because I won't go easy on either of you.

Honoka

Eeek!
