Ch. 8 Ep. 10: The Unexpected Visitor

With Kaoruko's support, the members decide to take over as the School Idol Festival Planning Committee. Having the experienced Aqours and famous ÎĽ's is reassuring. Right when morale is high, however, there's a knock at the door!

Ai

Oh, this place looks like it's the perfect size!

Ai

So, who was in charge of the possible venue list again?

Karin

Me. Let me know the name, all right? I'll put it in the list.

Emma

There's all sorts of work when it comes to event planning, huh? Maybe it would be faster to ask the Aqours members for help?

Kanata

Hey, good idea. Let's write up all the things we want to ask them.

Rina

Too much internet, eyes are tired. Rina-chan Board says, “Wide-eyed!”

Player

I'm glad everyone's so eager, but remember that we've still got our practice to do.

Kasumi

Got it! So let's take a break, right now!

Ayumu

Good idea. We should take a little break.

Player

Then how about we talk over practice while we take our break?

Karin

Setsuna's not here yet, though.

Player

Oh, yeah, today was a student council day.

Kasumi

Setsuna really is something, keeping up with the student council and our idol club!

Emma

Yeah. She must love them both, being able to balance them so well.

Kasumi

Though I'm all about being a school idol!

Setsuna

I'm sorry for being late!

Ai

You're Setsu-not on time!

Kanata

That was terrible.

Karin

Oh, you haven't changed today?

Setsuna

Sorry, I was in a hurry and didn't have time–I'll change right away!

[Fade in/out.]

???

Excuse me. This is the School Idol Club's clubroom, is it not?

Player

U-Uh, yeah, it is, but… Oh! W-Would you happen to want to join?! Like, maybe you saw our show at the auditorium, and–

???

No, I don't. I just saw Student Council President Nana Nakagawa come into this room.

Setsuna

Huh?! E-Er, I–

???

Excuse me? I don't have any business with you. I'm here to see Student Council President Nana Nakaga… Hrm?

???

Ah, I see. Setsuna Yuki. So you're the student council president, then.

Player

Wh-Whoa! U-Uh, you've got it all wrong!

Karin

That's just, er, a Setsuna costume! And anyway, Nakagawa and Setsuna are totally different people!

Rina

I-It's true. Rina-Chan board says, “Nervous!”

Ayumu

Er, see, she's a…a fake!

Kasumi

That's right! She's, uh, Setsuna's doppelganger!

Kanata

And that's why they look so much alike.

Ai

Yeah, yeah, no one expects the Setsuna Doppelganger!

Shizuku

Ai, that's a poor reference to pull out here!

Emma

A-Anyway, the person you're after isn't here!

Setsuna

Thanks, everyone, but hiding like this is a little unreasonable.

Player

Setsuna…

Setsuna

I am Nana Nakagawa, Student Council President.

???

You all look awfully worried.

???

But I'm not actually interested in why you're hiding like this, and I'm not going to spread your secret anywhere, so don't worry about that.

???

I just came here because I wanted to talk with the student council president. I'm a first-year. My name is–

Kasumi

Shioriko Mifune!

Player

You know her, Kasumi?

Kasumi

Of course I do! You don't? She's pretty well-known!

Player

S-Sorry, I kind of don't.

Shioriko

My name is Shioriko Mifune, first-year.

Setsuna

So what did you want to speak with me about, Mifune?

Shioriko

Ever since enrolling into this school, Nana Nakagawa, I've been watching your work as student council president.

Shioriko

And unfortunately, I cannot feel that you have the right to lead.

Setsuna

What?

Shioriko

I cannot even charitably call your approach to work efficient. It is strange, as you stand at the top of the student body as an example to all.

Shioriko

Yet, now I understand why. Here you are, wasting your time as a school idol, an activity that will do absolutely nothing for your future.

Shioriko

If you're approaching your work in such a half-hearted manner, of course it would turn out that mediocre.

Player

Hey, hold on a second! Setsuna's working really hard as student council president!

Ai

I don't think you want to act like you know things when you're just looking at the surface and don't know Setsu at all.

Karin

You may not have been able to see it, but we can guarantee that Setsuna doesn't do sloppy work.

Shioriko

Nakagawa's lackluster record is clearly visible. You need to understand that no matter how hard you work, it has no meaning if it does not lead to results.

Shioriko

But now I can convey this without hesitation.

Shioriko

I, Shioriko Mifune, declare my candidacy for new student council president. I already have permission from the board, and the re-election will be on Friday in three weeks.

Setsuna

Wait… What?

Everyone

Whaaaaat?!

Player

M-Mifune, could you wait just a little? Like, we could talk about–

Shioriko

I recommend stepping down, but I do not mind if you choose to fight me.

Kasumi

This might be a good opportunity, Setsuna. You could quit and focus totally on being a school idol and work even harder with us.

Setsuna

K-Kasumi, I…

Shioriko

Oh, I almost forget, but let me convey this, as well.

Shioriko

I believe that in one's high school career, a period when one must prepare for the future, school idol activities are meaningless.

Shioriko

On the dawn of my election as president, I intend to consider the abolishment of the School Idol Club.

Shioriko

And worry not, I will introduce each of you to clubs appropriate to your talents.

Everyone

Whaaaat?!
