Good work everyone!

Thanks. The rest of the contest is going to continue next week.

Out of the nine contests, we have one win and they have two.

I thought we might be able to beat them, but μ's really is incredible.

It's amazing that Emma actually won.

*Chuckle* I only won because of Hanayo's rice strategy though.

I thought an eating contest had nothing to do with school idols, but it was a great competition.

All right! Nijigasaki should aim to be the biggest eaters in the world!

No we shouldn't!

The dance-off was remarkable, too.

I'll never forget Eli's dancing. Not only was it so complete, but everyone watching had a great time, too.

You danced like a star, Karin! Your score was the exact same as Eli's.

*Giggle* The audience didn't like mine as much, but thanks, Emma.

(The applause was obviously in Eli's favor. Karin practiced so much after that.)

I loved how intense Umi and Shizuko's singing was.

I would have loved it more if I won.

It was fun though.

Umi was so into it while she sang, but was embarrassed as soon as it was over. It was strange.

After she switched on her performance mode, she became a true school idol.

(We lost the dancing and singing contests, but we still have six more to go!)

So it's two to one. We'll be winning all the rest, too.

It's so fun having these contests with Nijigasaki. Thanks for thinking of this, Nico.

If it's nine contests, that means everyone gets to do one. You really thought this through, didn't you Nico?

Heh. I know right? Every school idol is the star, after all!

Emma looked like she really enjoyed that bread. I hope we become best friends.

*Giggle* Makes you want to get lunch together, right?

Karin's dancing was so intense, and Shizuku's singing was great, too.

I heard the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club just formed, so that's really impressive.

We need to be looking sharp, too!

*Giggle* You seem to be enjoying this, Nozomi.

We've got to take this seriously as well. They don't seem like the type to be happy if we go easy on them.

School idols always have to have fun and take things seriously!

That's right! Plus, we can't show people my top secret documents so easily.

[Fade in/out.]

Hmmm?

Did you write about μ's in that?

[Fade in/out.]

μ's really is an amazing school idol group.

Yes. They have so much stage experience. Maybe that's the big difference between us.

We had good battle after good battle, so we can keep going!

I'd love to win this, but just competing against them is amazing.

Yeah. It's great just going up against them.

Y-Yeah. We look up to them, so I didn't think we'd win anyway.

…

…

(That's not what I want to tell everyone!)

Hey, I have something to say.

We may look up to μ's, and I think we're lucky just having the chance to compete against them like this.

But you know, I feel deep down in my heart that we can win.

I know you're all practicing so hard every day, and that you definitely don't want to lose.

So, I know it may be reckless, but I want to win this!

Yeah! If we're going to do this, I want to win, too.

Me too!

That's the spirit.

Everyone, thank you so much! We've built up a lot of experience, and I think we're closing the gap between us and them.

The next contest is next week, right? We should practice extra hard until then.

Well, I guess I'll have to pull out a big win for all of you!

We can do it. Rina-chan Board says, “Serious!”

We'll tear 'em apart!

Now we have to think of what exactly we're going to practice.

Yeah!

(Good, everyone is back in good spirits.)

(We look up to μ's, but that won't let us surpass them. We have to focus on winning!)

Let's do our best, everyone!

Yeah!
