It's here!
Ruby shouted
I've seen this before Zura!
Hanamaru said
This is the promised Land where the last Ragnarok took place
Yoshiko said
The regional prelim that we couldn't pass.....
Riko said
It's time for revenge huh.....
Yoshiko said
For sure....This is where will surpass our limits and get through the prelims
Chika said with determination
"At the Office"
Fifty Seven?
Dia said
Right, as of now, we have 57 prospective students who are enrolling at uranohoshi
Taiki said
That can't be..... Are you saying that we weren't able to add at least ten more this past month?
Dia said
There is about less than a month until the time limit given by mari's dad.
Kanan said
The night that the next love live regional prelims will be held, if we don't have a hundred prospective students by then....
There is absolutely nothing we could do when that comes, in other words, the prelims are.....
Taiki said
Our last chance
Mari said
Then we have no choice but to entrust our future on it huh....?
Dia said
Yeah....
Taiki said
"The next day" Practice day
Good!, I'd like to see your arms raised just at the same angle.... Hanamaru bring them up a bit higher.
Mari said
Well then, let's practice individually after taking our break, here guys, have some water
Taiki said
Everyone seems to be a lot more focused than usual, their determination is through the roof
Taiki thought
Here chika I bought some ice cream earlier, would you like some?
Riko asked
Sure
Chika replied
Kanan? Where are you going?
Asked taiki
To the bathroom real quick
Kana replied
Whoa!, They list the groups that are considered the most likely to go to the nationals
You said
Zura?
There's something like that!?
Chik said in excitement
I guess, since love live has become popular, there seems to be many people who try this kind of stuff
Taiki said
What groups are on the list?
Ruby asked
Let see......there are the ones who went to the nationals last year....Oh! Saint Snow
You said
Leah and Sarah?
Taiki asked
Yes, they passed the last regional prelims as top ranked group, and won 8th place in the final round
Wow, they're amazing as usual, they're competing this year right?
Taiki asked
Yes, and the older sister Sarah is a third year student this year, this is her last chance, and she's in it to win it
You said
They are pretty fired up
China said
Let scroll down some more..... And see...
Ah.... Aqours!!!
You said in surprise
Aqours! Really!?
"I can't believe it! They are marked as most likely to get through"
Taiki thought
See....that's us isn't it
Taiki said
Your right Zura!
Hanamaru said
Does it say something about us?
Mari asked
Although Aqours didn't pass the last regional prelims, their performance in the qualifiers this year, was so splendid that it was a fair match for the groups that went to the nationals
Yoshiko said
We're looking forward to seeing their growth throughout the competition
Taiki said
Heheheheh.....if I use my dark Powers as a fallen angel, this is but a trifle!
Yoshiko said while Posing
Right! It is but a trifle!
Riko said while also posing
Really Riko? You too?
Taiki said
Whats going on with them?
The other's asked
Hehe, I would expect nothing less from one who made a contract with me, little Demon Lily!
Yoshiko said
How insolent! Neve have I signed such a contract with the likes of you!
Riko said
She's even starting to talk like Yoshiko...
Taiki said
Lily?
Ruby said
Contract?
Chika said
They sure must have fallen far, Zura
Hanamaru said
Yeah most likely
You said
No! It's not what you think!
Riko said while being embarrassed
Welcome to hellzone!
Yoshiko said
Hold it! It's not like that! Riko retorted
I m glad you two seem to be having fun
Chika said
Even you chika!
Riko said
It seems that the nationals will be decided by the votes at the preliminary sites on the internet
Taiki said
That's good though! It's better than having to wait to hear the results
Chika said
It's actually not that simple chika
Taiki said
Each schools students will be at the site to root for their school idol group.
Dia said
Even though they'llhold internet voting, schools with many students will still be at an advantage
Ruby said
Then could it be that!....
Hanamaru said
That's right hanamaru-chan.... In terms of number of students, uranohoshi is at a big disadvantage.
Taiki said in worry
Disadvantage........
Chika said in a low voice
"Time skip" at Kanans place
So....what seems to be the reason you wanted me to come here at this time, Kanan?
I just.... wanted company that's all
She replied
Really....?
Y-yeah.....
Kanan said
I know there's a reason for me being here, your not the type of person to just make someone come at your place at this time....
Taiki said while closing in on Kanans face
A-am I really that Readable?
Kanan said nervously
Yep....I've known you since we were kids, so spill it out
Taiki said backing up
The truth is........I've been....
What's that notebook?
Taiki asked suddenly
The only answer that we might need after all
Mari said
Mari!? Why are you doing here?
Kana asked
I think so too....
Dia said
Even Dia?
Taiki said
That brings back some memories doesn't it, you kept it, huh.....
Mari said
Don't tell me.... Your really planning on doing it?
Kana said with a serious expression
Don't tell me.... You don't want to do it?
Mari replied
Hold up, I'm not getting what you guys are talking about, first, what's that notebook?
Taiki asked in confusion
Back when we first started to be school idols, we had a notebook filled with dance formation ideas
Dia said
Dance formations?
Taiki asked
Yes, we planned our steps and added new steps when needed.....
Mari said
But while practicing for the upcoming competition, Mari hurt her leg and.......
Kanan said in frustration
We were about to go on stage but Kanan didn't want to push mari's hurt leg any further so......
Dia said
Resulting in you guys not singing at the competition
Taiki said
Correct....
Mari and dia said
Damn, that's frustrating....
Taiki said in a low voice
Now tell me, you don't want to do it?
Mari asked Kanan
Didn't you just say your situation back then didn't you....
Kanan said
My feelings Haven't changed....
Mari said
To be honest, I agree with mari, we will do everything we can to keep our school alive...that is my duty as president of the student council... moreover this is our last chance...
Dia said
Dia-san.....
Taiki said
But this isn't something we can do, it's something we can't do....
Dia said
That's not fully true, we were close that time....so close actually...
Mari said
But we couldn't, worse case scenario that came was you injuring your leg, Mari
Kana said while grabbing the notebook
Can I see the notebook for a second Kanan......
Taiki asked
Sure...
She replied
It was my fault that I injured myself...I wanted to catch up with you so I tried too hard....
Mari said
She's right...but now there are nine of us, not just us...
Dia said
no we shouldn't....
We tried to reach something that we couldn't and because of that someone got hurt...and now, were gonna push that on chika?
Kanan said in frustration
Chika? Does that mean that this formation is needed to be executed by the center?
Taiki said while putting the notebook down
"Also, this formation might be the solution we needed after all"
No...... I'm not gonna make us do the same mistake again!
Kanan said while grabbing the notebook and throwing to the water
No....I know we can do this, not just you three....but nine of you....
.
.
.
I won't let you guys Give up again! This is our key! Our key to getting through the impossible!
Taiki shouted while jumping of the balcony
Taiki-kun!!!
The three girls said
I'm not giving up on you girls!
Taiki shouted
I know it's frustrating because of how hard the past hurt....full of regrets.......and pain
Taiki thought
"SPLASH"
Taiki-kun!
Kanan shouted
Ugh!.....I'm fine! I got the notebook but it's a little bit wet!
Taiki said
Phew......
Kanan said in relief
Oof...... c'mon Taiki-kun
Mari said
Thanks Mari
Taiki replied
Now you're clothes are wet, you might get a cold
Dia said in worry
I'm fine, don't worry.....and Kanan
Taiki said
Huh...?
Don't speak so negatively about what you guys did together, those memories that you guys made, are special and precious for one another.
Taiki said
He's right......I want to see it through till the end, compete the new and reborn Aqours that we dreamed back then,
Mari said
So here......Think about what is right, it's our decision, not just you......Were here for everyone's back
Taiki said With a smile
Taiki........
"At the inn"
The palce hasn't change since the last time I was here.
A woman wearing a suit got out of a car
Is someone their?........huh
Oh mito-san, Glad to see your doing okay
The woman said
Miss Hinokami-san!?
Mito said in surprise
