Ahem. We will now begin the first “Who Knows School Idols the Best Tournament”!

Urgh, I don't like competition. But today, I can't afford to lose!

M-Me neither!

I love school idols so much I came to Japan. I can't lose here!

I've defeated Maki in a similar contest before. I'm going to win again today!

Er, why are we doing this again?

Come on, Kanata, were you dozing off again? We were talking about going to have fun somewhere, remember? And no one could decide on one thing to do.

So the people who wanted to belt it all out in karaoke like Nico suggested came here.

So…why are we having a competition all of a sudden?

*Sigh* That would be a long story if we got into it.

[Fade in/out.]

Setsuna! You really showed Maki the ropes that time. But I would have definitely won!

My, Nico, you're awfully confident, but when it comes to knowing this subject, I'm not going to lose!

Insolence! All right, I'll show you just how much knowledge I've got crammed into my head!

Now hold on a moment, you two. My Ruby isn't going to fall behind, either.

Eek! D-Dia… Um, I…

I-I'm a little confident here, too.

What's with all of you?! Don't you know I'm the best here?!

Very well, then. Come, everyone, let us see who knows the most about school idols, once and for all!

[Fade in/out.]

Ahh, so this is something I've got no chance at, then? I'll just…take a nap, then. Zzz…

I won't let you sleep!

Eep?!

You and I have the critical role of selecting the songs and judging the results!

Wahh!

Now then, Kanata, play the songs as written here. Ruby, I believe in you! Take it home!

Uwahhh.

Well, here goes. First one, staaaaart.

M-

Me, me! This is Big Love Brain by the Kochi school idol group Zeyo Zeyo☆All Right!

Correct!

N-Not bad, Hanayo.

No fair, I knew that one!

Ahhh, I was so close!

Hm? Ruby, you're kinda shaking a lot. You okay? Too cold in here? Need me to turn up the heat?

E-Everyone's just so into it I can't say a thing!

Ruby, you must do your best. No one loves school idols more than you, correct?

You're right, Dia! All right, I'll do my Rubesty!

That's the spirit! Now then, Kanata, give us the second song!

All right, here's the second song! Staaart!

M–

Me, me! Th-This is the song Shisa from the Okinawan school idol group Kurusa!

Correct! Good job, Ruby!

Yeah! Dia, I can do it!

There you go. You can do it if you try. I knew you could–have more confidence.

Ahh, Diaaa!

*Giggle* Look at that sisterly love. Now I miss my brothers and sisters, too!

*Yawn* Now I wanna see Haruka, too!

Wh-Why's the mood getting so sappy all of a sudden?! Now it doesn't feel like a competition at all!

Well, we know that we're all about as knowledgeable about school idols as each other, so do we even have to compete?

You know, you're right. Like, we all started to answer at the same time!

How about you guys all say you're number one?

Indeed, I would have no problem with that.

Yeah, we all love school idols!

Which is why we cannot let the School Idol Festival be canceled!

It'll be all right! We can do anything if we put our heads together!

Yeah! Nico's right!

If we, μ's, and Aqours all work together, this will definitely work out!

Let's all stand on the School Idol Festival stage together!

That's right! No matter what went into canceling it, we'll do anything to make our dreams come true! C'mon, say it together! Nico-Nico-N–

Rubesty!

Hey! I'm supposed to say the line here. Could you not steal my vibe?
