What?! You're going on some kind of secret spy mission?! That's so cool!

*Giggle* I don't think it'll be anything that cool.

Tracking down a mysterious, unknown school idol is pretty neat, you know!

Hmm. I guess actually managing to track her down would be kinda cool.

You'll find her! I mean, you have the Prez helping you too, right?

I'm just her sidekick in all of this.

Emma is sharing info with school idols and fans throughout Japan who she can reach by streaming.

She's finding out if anyone knows Tsumugi and if they saw her at any school idol live shows.

Wow…

It doesn't seem like the school idol we're looking for is from Tokyo at any rate.

Right. I've narrowed it down to a potential match, so I'm going to go and ask her.

If I end up finding her, you'll have to tell me how cool I am again. Okay, Kasumi?

Now you've got me all excited! You better find her for me!

I hope this mystery idol and Tsumugi get to sit down and talk things out.

[Fade in/out.]

…All set. But Kanata's live show is only a day away…

I really hope Tsumugi comes to it…

[Fade in/out.]

Look at this weather! Perfect for a live show!

Is Tsumugi here at the venue?

I didn't see her at the entrance.

Doesn't look like she's coming after all…

Don't worry. We have the live stream set up just in case that happens.

Emma got everything set up for that, right? You're such a star!

*Giggle* You played your part as well.

Me? But I haven't done anything.

You're the one who pushed me to stream, right? Having that experience is why I was able to put a live stream together so quickly.

Until now, I wouldn't have been able to pull this off on my own without Rina's help, but that's all changed.

And that's all down to you, Lanzhu!

Squee! I helped out Emma! That's awesome!

Kanata.

Hm? Oh, I'm ready whenever you are!

I hope she sees why you're doing this.

Yeah, I'll make sure to get that across.

Ever since we decided to put on the live show, I've been thinking about how wonderful it is to support someone.

It's thanks to all the support that I feel comfortable singing here.

It's thanks to all the support that I have all of this strength.

It's thanks to all the support that I can be a school idol.

But I want to support others as well.

I want to get behind a certain someone who takes baking more seriously than anyone, who puts all of their love into what they bake.

Someone so tender-hearted that she wanted to give all of that up when she thought that she had caused harm. I want to give Tsumugi my support!

[Fade in/out.]

Ahhh, that felt great! There sure is nothing that beats a live show.

The only thing that would make this better is if Tsumugi saw it.

Maybe I can ask her tomorrow…

Hm?

[Fade in/out.]

Tsumugi!

I'm sorry for calling you all of a sudden, Kanata.

It's fine! I was hoping I'd get to talk with you tomorrow, so it's even better to get to do it today.

I, uh… I saw it. Today's live show.

I couldn't make it to the venue, though…

Oh, so you did watch the live stream! That's so great to hear.

Were you trying to cheer me up? It seemed like it… But maybe I'm just too quick to think it's all about me.

Wow! So you got it! Mission accomplished!

I sang while focusing on how much I wanted to support you.

Did it make you feel better?

*Giggle* Maybe… Just a bit. It made me feel kind of warm and fuzzy.

I heard about why you aren't able to bake sweets anymore.

And, well… This is my way of seeing things, so I can't speak for everyone…

…But as someone who gets so much support, I never want to overlook the value of that support.

Besides, I know you and how delicious the treats you bake are.

So I'm sure the school idol you were a fan of was helped out by your support too.

Your support will always stay with her.

…I hope you're right.

I know I am.

You know, I became afraid to bake treats, but your encouragement has me wanting to try it again.

Do you think I'll even be able to do it again now?

F-For sure!

And I'll be right by your side the whole way, pushing you on as you do!

Thanks.

Also, umm… Is there still enough time? To join the National No1 High School Pâtissier Contest, I mean. I know it's a bit late to be saying this, but I…

Huh… Really? You'll enter it with me?!

Yaaay! Getting to do the contest with you is like a dream come true! I'm so happy!
