I'm heading out!

[Fade in/out.]

*Sigh* This is the pits. It's the absolute worst!

I'm trying to act like my usual self, but the kids are worried about me anyway.

I know I shouldn't keep going on like this, but… *Sigh*

Argh, no, no, no! School idols always have to keep smiling! You never know when you might run into a fan, so no looking gloomy!

Snap out of it, Nico-Ni. You're the number one idol in the whole galaxy!

[Fade in/out.]

(I've gotta turn the club's thinking around before it gets any worse. We all need to be on the same page!)

(I want us, as μ's, to create a treasure we can be proud of for the rest of our lives. But is it something we should keep pursuing if it's souring the mood so badly?)

(There's no point if it's making Honoka and the others depressed. I'll have to put aside my own feelings and…)

Miss Yazawa, if you would please read for us next.

Aaarrrggghhh…

Miss Yazawa?

Huh? Oh, y-yes?

Please start reading from the third line on page 32.

O-Okay!

Uhh, page 32, page 32, third line…

Translate the following. “Meter la pata.” M-Meter the… Uhh…

That's Spanish for “put your paw in it,” which is an idiom for making a slip-up.

More importantly, this period is English. Come see me in the faculty room after class, please.

Yes, ma'am…

[Fade in/out.]

*Sigh*

Hey, Nico, about today's practice… Uhhh, Nico?

Her head's in the clouds.

Maybe I'll just help myself to this rolled egg, then… *Chomp* Mm-mmm! Nico-chi really does know how to cook rolled eggs perfectly!

She didn't even notice a thing…

Huh?! No way! Hey, wake up, Nico-chi! You can have my meatballs, okay? C'mon, say something!

Buh? Wha? For me? Thanks.

What's going on with you, Nico?

There's only one thing in the world that could make Nico-chi this worried.

The club?

*Sigh*…

Eli, Nozomi, what do you think? Things have felt weird around here lately, right? Should we ditch this plan to take μ's to the next level?

Hmm… Maybe we should try to explain our thinking more clearly to everyone else before we consider that.

Our thinking, huh…

I love μ's, and I'm eternally grateful I was asked to be a member. What the nine of us have accomplished together is something I'll remember forever.

That's the exact reason why I wanna keep making even greater memories that we can treasure for the rest of our lives.

There's only so much time we have to do things together as a club…

That's exactly what we should tell them.

Ew, but that's so sappy. Can't you two just tell them for me?

Nope, this stuff is totally the club president's domain.

I think you should say it in your own words, Nico. We'll be right there with you.

Geez…

All right. I'll do the talking.

In fact, I'll crush it! Who cares how sappy it is? I have to make this a reality!

Now you're talking! We're right behind you!

[Fade in/out.]

At the same time, how do I approach this? And when?! How do I get the ball rolling?!

Settle down. Just do what you normally do, Nico.

If you really aren't up for it, I can…

No, I need to handle this.

Morning! Am I first? …Whoa, Nico! And Nozomi and Eli! You're all so early today.

G-Good morning, Honoka. Listen, there's something I want to talk ab—

Nico! I got it! μ's is gonna keep on changing!

Huh?

We need to keep evolving so there'll be more and more things about μ's that'll never change! Let's make lots and lots of new versions of μ's together!

Honoka…

That's what you've been trying to tell us, isn't it?

Oh, for the love of… You're a real piece of work.

Waaah! N-Nico?!

I really can always…always…depend on you.

Huh? Say what? I didn't catch that.

Nothing!

Now let's start changing μ's!

Yeah!
