Ch. 6 Ep. 5: Take Their Hearts!
The seventh contest of costume choice goes to Kotori, who knows her members' charms better than anyone! Rina tries her best to give everyone their own special Rina-chan Board, but maybe her approach is too quirky!
Nico
We win the fashion competition, hehe! Looks like you guys got cocky because you were in the lead!
Nozomi
If we win the next one, it'll be a tie. We might even make a big comeback and win!
Player
Ugh…
Player
(A comeback. It's a possibility. We had momentum from a few wins in a row, and it hurts to see our streak end. We have to bring it back with the next one!)
Umi
So Nico, the next contest is a charisma contest? I can't picture what it might be like.
Nico
Allow me to explain. Another invaluable characteristic of school idols…is the ultimate charisma, strong enough to woo any living creature!
Player
Any living creature?
Setsuna
She's right. People with charisma are the most popular. They don't even have to do anything, and people just gather around them.
Nico
To contest each other's charisma, we need to go to the appropriate stage.
Everyone
Go where?
[Fade in/out.]
Nico
The eighth contest between μ's and Nijigasaki. “Overcoming the species barrier to capture the hearts of animals”!
Umi
Animals. So that's why we came out to this farm?
Nico
Yep. You can interact with the free range cows, goats, and sheep here. Whoever wins over more animals with their charisma will be the victor!
Karin
I see. If you can win over people, you can win over animals, right?
Nico
So, who is going to participate?
Honoka
There's only you and me left for ÎĽ's.
Umi
Honoka, why don't you give it a try?
Eli
I think you have the most charismatic personality.
Honoka
M-Me…? You're embarrassing me. But, I'll do it! Time for the charisma showdown!
Player
I guess it's Ayumu for us.
Ayumu
Yeah… I don't think I'm very charismatic, but I'll do my best!
Nico
You have one hour. Show everyone your hidden charisma!
[Fade in/out.]
Ayumu
Hello Mr. Goat. Don't be afraid. That's a good boy.
Player
Seems like Ayumu is going for the goats first.
Karin
Her gentle nature seems like it's putting the animals at ease. Things are off to a good start.
Ai
Ayumu is incredible. I'd rush in and try to hug them all. Cats always scratch me when I do that to them.
Kanata
The wind is so nice, the grass so soft. The whole world is telling me to take a nap.
Emma
Endless green grass and blue skies above it. It's like I'm back home in Switzerland.
Kasumi
Kanata, Emma?! Are you two here with us at all?!
Rin
I wanna pet the goats and sheep too!
Hanayo
I'm sure it's okay if you don't interfere with the competition. Look, a goat is coming over here.
Kotori
Hey, where did Honoka go? I don't see her anywhere.
Eli
She said she was going to get the sheep and went that way– Huh?!
Honoka
Eeeeek! Somebody save me!
Umi
Honoka?!
Rin
Whah?! Look at all those sheep running after her!
Ayumu
That's a good goat– Huh?
Ayumu
Wait, hold on a second…
Player
Oh no! The goats Ayumu gathered!
Shizuku
They're running for Honoka!
Rina
All the animals are gone. Don't tell me they all ran after Honoka?
Honoka
Eeeeek! Somebody do something!
[Fade in/out.]
Honoka
Whew. It's finally over.
Umi
The farmers had to step in and calm down all the animals.
Maki
How on earth do you even do that?
Honoka
I saw a sign that said you could feed the sheep, so I wanted to start with them.
Honoka
At first there were only two or three, but the next thing I knew I was surrounded. I tried to run away, but more and more kept coming.
Umi
And when you ran away the other animals smelled the feed you had and followed.
Kasumi
I can't believe this.
Nico
So, the victory goes to Honoka for gathering a stampede of sheep and other animals! Does anyone disagree?
Player
…No.
Honoka
W-Woo… I'm happy, but I'm so tired.
Kotori
Honoka, good work.
Ayumu
I'm sorry everyone.
Player
You did your best. No one could have predicted that would happen.
Ai
Isn't using bait a little unfair? That's a sure-fire way to attract animals.
Nico
It doesn't matter, because the animals were attracted to her. You guys got a win with a nap, so now we're even.
Player
I can't even rebut that.
Kanata
Zzz.
Setsuna
That makes it four to four. They caught up.
Player
Yeah. We can't lose the next one!
