Ah, what a gorgeous day.

Good morning.

Morning, Ayumu.

Did you sleep well?

Yeah, I slept like a rock. I'm all set to work hard over these two days!

Even though I don't think I'll be of much help…

Not that again… I told you before, that's not true. You want to help people achieve their dreams, right?

Yeah, I know. You're right. Thanks, Ayumu. There are some things only I can do to help.

And I'll do them as best I can!

That's what I like to hear! Don't forget, I'll be right behind you, watching the live stream!

Oh, could I bring the food we made for you now? Kasumi and I whipped it up yesterday.

Wow, that'd be great! Thanks!

Morning, everyone! Let's buckle up for the next two days!

Morning. Yes, I'm glad you're here with us too. Rina-chan Board says, “Bow.”

This is the same old school we go to every day, but something seems different about it today.

It's because, starting today…this is our battlefield!

…That's exactly the kind of imaginative power we'll need to make our game.

Well, don't worry, I got this!

All right, let's go.

Right behind you, Leader!

Huh?

Let's go, Leader!

We're counting on you!

I-I've got this!

Let's push ourselves and work together to win this contest!

Yeeeah!

I'll bring up the official channel. The presenter is explaining the rules to the viewers. They'll announce the game's theme after that.

I wonder what it'll be. My heart's beating so hard!

Whatever they throw at us, I know we can handle it.

I mean, we did go through all the material the other clubs put together for us yesterday.

Oh, here's the theme…

It's…

Dreams!

Dreams?

Hmm… How we interpret that word will have a huge impact on the kind of game we make.

Guys, what's the first thing that comes to mind when you think of dreams?

They're what you see when you go to sleep. What you want to achieve in the future. How you'd like things to go.

I guess they're all more or less positive things, right?

We could create a game that makes you feel as nice as you do in a dream, one where your dreams come true, or something about chasing dreams or finding more dreams to pursue…

Hmmm…

…I think I might be living my dream now. I've always loved school idols, and now I am one, shouting my love for it from the rooftops. It certainly feels like I'm in a dream.

And I still have another dream…to spread that enthusiasm even further.

I've poured those feelings of love into song, and it'd be wonderful if I could do the same with a game.

Same here… It'd be like a dream for me if my songs were to reach so many more people. Can we make something along those lines?

What do you think, Rina?

How about it?

…I don't see why not. We could make something like that.

We could make it a rhythm game and have all our songs in it. Making charts for all of them might be a bit tough, though…

Me and Little Baby can handle that.

And I think we should make a story that works with the feelings we're trying to convey in the songs. Can you come up with something for us, Setsuna?

Of course!

Then I guess we're locking in the rhythm game?

All right. Let's get listening to all of our songs and break 'em down!
