(I was able to spend time with Aqours and make the festival a success with them. I got really lucky.)

(It was a great experience, too.)

Umm, is everyone practicing right now?

[Fade in/out.]

One, two, three, four! One, two, three, four!

Hoh, hoh, hoh, hoh…

Now for my jump!

Everyone, you're so great! Your movements are way better than before!

Oh, you're back! Welcome back.

It's good to be back!

Rina-chan Board says, “Welcome home.”

Let's take five here!

We've been practicing a lot while you've been gone.

Did you see my jump? I got better while you were visiting Aqours, right?

Kanata was the one that said if you're going to better yourself by meeting Aqours, we should better ourselves, too.

*Giggle* I have good foresight.

Your dance moves were great just now. I can tell how much you guys practiced.

Wait, what's that you're holding?

It's a picture of Aqours! Is this from when you went to Uchiura? What a gem!

It is. I put all my pictures of my time spent with them in an album.

There are comments on all the pictures. I can't believe you've made something like this in such a short time.

*Giggle* I feel so many things looking at these pictures.

These might inspire some great lyrics.

I actually thought the same thing, and I started writing some. I think they're coming out nicely!

Oh ho! Looks like we all need to work hard, too.

So have you written a new song?

No, not yet. I actually tried to write one, but it turned out like the songs I wrote before.

I see…

(Everyone's been practicing so much and growing a lot.)

(While they were working hard, I met Aqours and had fun. I can't leave it at that.)

(I need to make an effort to support everyone even more.)

To make a song you've never made before, you need some more stimulation. Something that slams you, right?

Something that slams you?! Sounds scary to me!

Me, too. Rina-chan Board says, “Heart-pounding.”

Just what kind of stimulation are you guys imagining?!

I think what you need is something to heighten your feelings for school idols.

You just got back from seeing Aqours, but maybe you could go see them again?

I know! How about going to see μ's next?

I bet it'd be amazing if you went and met with μ's!

Let's get them to tell us how we can grow so quickly!

But what if they just say we weren't born with the talent or something?

We can't do anything about that. Rina-chan Board says, “Disappointment.”

Meeting them would be such a good experience, but it's tough meeting popular school idols.

Actually, about that…

[Fade in/out.]

An interview with μ's?!

There's a plan to interview them on one of their fan sites. They were looking for someone to represent their fan base, so I applied!

Seriously?! You really know how to take action.

Everyone is practicing hard and improving, and I didn't want to fall behind.

Take a close look at μ's for us, too!

No problem!

(I want to create a performance that will make a lasting impression, just like μ's and Aqours!)

[Fade in/out.]

(I-I'm here! μ's' club room!)

Huh? Are you the interviewer?

Y-Yes!

Nice to meet you! I'm Honoka Kosaka.

(Wh-Whoa… It's Honoka Kosaka!)

(The image of μ's up on stage from that day I saw their live show is stilled burned into my mind.)

I get nervous thinking about what I'm supposed to say in an interview. But maybe you're nervous, too! Then we'd be nervous together!

U-Umm…

I'm sorry if she surprised you. Honoka! We can't have you do all the talking by yourself!

*Chuckle* I was just really looking forward to this.

I'm Umi Sonoda. We've all been excited to do this interview.

I'm Kotori Minami. Nice to meet you!

Honoka, Umi, Kotori! Nice to meet you, too!

Oh, good, you're the same age as us! I was afraid you might be an adult, and get real serious with your questions.

Yeah, I'm glad. She seems nice too.

An interview, huh. Do we even have anything to talk about?

Rin, Maki, and Hanayo, nice to meet you too.

Thanks for coming today! We'll tell you everything we can, so ask whatever question you want.

Eli, Nozomi, Nico! I'm glad to hear you say that!

Before we start, just one thing. Considering we're all high school students, let there be no formalities, okay?

O-Okay! Got it!

You still seem nervous. Well, I guess that can't be helped standing in front of the universe's greatest, number one idol, Nico!

Take it slow. Let's have fun with this interview.

It will be my pleasure… I mean, sure!

I came to interview you all about what kind of lives you lead day to day. I hope to learn a lot!

Sure thing!
