Ch. 5 Ep. 5: The Key to Their Appeal

You hear from Eli, Nozomi, and Nico last. No matter what they say, they take care of their underclassmen. Wanting to see them outside of idol activities, you watch Eli and Nozomi make good use of Nico for the student council.

[Fade in/out.]

Honoka

Everyone ready? One, two, three!

Everyone

Good work!

Player

Thank you guys so much!

Player

(I'm glad the μ's interviews went off without a hitch!)

Eli

You still have to write the article, don't you? It's not quite time for you to relax yet, is it? *Giggle*

Player

Exactly! I'll send you all a copy when it's done!

Nico

…

Nico

What the heck are you doing, being all buddy-buddy?!

Maki

What's wrong with you, Nico?

Nico

She's a school idol from Nijigasaki! They're our rivals!

Player

I'm actually just a supporter, so I'm not a school idol. I'm sorry I didn't tell you, Nico!

Kotori

We should have told you Nico. Sorry.

Honoka

We all love school idols though, so that makes us the same. I'm glad to do an interview with someone like that!

Nozomi

Anyway, did you see something special in our lives while following us around?

Player

There was…a lot of stuff I didn't get.

Rin

Wait, really? Can you write the article?

Player

I fell in love with school idols after happening upon your collab performance with Aqours.

Player

That show was so brilliant and exciting that it nearly brought tears to my eyes.

Honoka

Really? So you saw that show!

Player

On that stage, you all had so much energy. I did these interviews hoping I could get a feel for why you're so charming.

Nozomi

But you couldn't figure it out?

Nico

Of course you didn't! Our performances aren't so shallow that you can just duplicate them after one glance!

Honoka

We don't really know how other groups work on their performances, so we have no idea what we do differently.

Umi

That's right. I wish we could explain it better.

Player

I think just realizing that there's so much I still don't get was really important.

Kotori

So knowing that you don't know is…good?

Player

Honoka said that we're the same because we all love school idols.

Player

But even still, we don't have nearly the same amount of experience on stage or in practice.

Player

So, I think it's only natural I wasn't able to find the source of μ's' charm so easily.

Honoka

Hmm… Are you sure that's enough? Umi, do you have anything?

Umi

Don't put me on the spot like that.

Nozomi

*Giggle*…

Eli

Nozomi? What's up with you?

Nozomi

Actually… I think Nico-chi holds the key to μ's' charm.

Player

What?!

Nico

What?!

Hanayo

Really?! I always knew you were special, Nico!

Nico

O-Of course I do! The whole reason μ's got so big is because I'm here!

Maki

But you were just surprised about it yourself.

Eli

I hope Nozomi isn't up to something again.

Nozomi

*Giggle* Do you want to know what makes us charming?

Player

Y-Yes!

Nozomi

You can find the key to our charm written in that Secret Idol Handbook over there!

Rin

Wait, since when did we have something so mysterious?

Hanayo

Do you mean the thing Nico made?

Nico

Oh… I see now! The secret to how big we've become is in the notes I made!

Umi

Is that true?

Player

(So the secret is hidden in the notebook Nico made: The Secret Idol Handbook!)

Player

Nico, please show me the Secret Idol Handbook!

Nico

Nope! This is my treasure!

Player

B-But, I have to see it! It's the key to μ's' charm!

Nico

Looking at me with shimmering eyes like that WON'T work!

Player

Oh, okay. I guess I shouldn't expect you to show me something so important.

Nico

…

Nico

Okay, we'll have a contest for it.

Honoka

A contest?

Nico

μ's has nine members, and so does Nijigasaki's school idol club. Perfect, right?

Eli

Wait, a contest between Otonokizaka and Nijigasaki High?!

Nico

Nine contests between μ's and Nijigasaki! If you win, I'll show you the key to our charm!

Player

S-Seriously?!

Player

(A contest between μ's and Nijigasaki?! This is getting out of hand!)
