Did you watch Rina's live stream yesterday?

Of course I did. It was filled with quite a lot of excitement.

I watched it with Alisa and we were both completely captivated by it.

I was as well. The live stream was so fun and satisfying to watch. She must have put a lot of time into preparing and practicing for it.

I bet she did. Looking at her on screen, though, she made it seem so effortless.

And above all, I could tell that she was having fun herself.

I was struck with something when I saw her live stream. It made me think that I'm capable of more as well.

I have also felt rather restless after watching her live stream. That's why I'm here at practice early today.

*Giggle* You and me both, huh?

I see that we felt the same way, then.

It's not just Rina. μ's, Aqours, everyone at Nijigasaki, and school idols across the country… Everyone's working their absolute hardest.

I can't allow myself to come to a standstill when I see that.

Sometimes school idols are your friends, and other times, they're your rivals. Perhaps to be a school idol is to aim for greater heights while engaging in friendly rivalry.

Maybe you're right. We need to aim even higher ourselves.

Oh, I know! Could you teach me some dance moves, Eli? I think this is the perfect opportunity for it.

Some dance moves?

Yes. For the longest time now, I've very much admired the way you dance.

I've tried to mimic you many times, but I just can't seem to get it right.

So you want to have a secret intense training session, huh? Okay, let's get into practice then!
