*EAST TOWER BUILDING - NIJIGASAKI HIGH SCHOOL - ODAIBA - TOKYO*
I mean, everyone is working hard for the promo video. So maybe I'm just being paranoid?
Maybe I'm the weird one here...
What matters is the quality of the promo video. Everyone took part in this with everything they had. I should be impressed they're working so hard...
A promo video made by everyone, with everyone in it as a Nijigasaki representative.
Saint Snow, μ's, Aqours, Liella!, all of them can represent themselves in their respective promo videos.
But us? No, we can't do that.
Because everyone wants to take our spot-
SHIORIKO: "Careful!"
AKI: "Huh? Shioriko?!"
SHIORIKO: "Don't yell at me like that. You would have missed that step if I hadn't called out to you."
AKI: "You're the one yelling at me! ...Oh, thanks."
SHIORIKO: "Please be more careful. This is unlike you, though... You aren't typically one to be so absentminded. Is something worrying you?"
AKI: "Worrying...? Oh, no, no, I'm fine. See!"
SHIORIKO: "I see..."
AKI: "What were you doing here, anyway?"
SHIORIKO: "I'm in the middle of some Student Council work. I'm observing the Clubs and the Council.
Though I suppose I'm actually more asking if anyone has any concerns rather than merely observing."
AKI: "Oh, right... Sorry I'm not on top of Student Council work. I must be the worst Vice-President in history..."
SHIORIKO: "Don't say that! You're busy enough with our School Idol Fansite campaign AND our School Idol Showcase promo video."
AKI: "Well, I'm not doing anything now. Let me help you."
SHIORIKO: "All right, if you insist. Let's get going then, shall we?"
...
*TRACK AND FIELD - NIJIGASAKI HIGH SCHOOL - ODAIBA - TOKYO*
AKI: "The Track Team go to such intense lengths..."
SHIORIKO: "Yes. It appears that they've updated their practice schedule recently."
AKI: "The Tennis Club members have such incredible focus, too."
SHIORIKO: "Ever since I gave them the news of their victory at the ward preliminaries, they have become even more passionate at practice."
AKI: "Should we cheer them on?"
SHIORIKO: "Shall we go take a look at the tournament schedule?"
AKI: "You're the President."
...
*MUSIC ROOM - NIJIGASAKI HIGH SCHOOL - ODAIBA - TOKYO*
AKI: "Yu and the Concert Band were awesome! They all look so diligent, standing at attention with their instruments."
SHIORIKO: *Chuckle* "I agree."
AKI: "They mentioned that their scheduled concert is coming up soon."
SHIORIKO: "We should invite the whole School Idol Club to go watch it."
AKI: "I'd go to support Yu, but sure."
...
*EAST TOWER BUILDING - NIJIGASAKI HIGH SCHOOL - ODAIBA - TOKYO*
AKI: "Thanks for letting me help you, Shioriko."
SHIORIKO: "Not at all. I was delighted to walk around with you."
AKI: "I was thinking... The other clubs have really raised their intensity lately. Like they're all striving to win..."
SHIORIKO: *Chuckle* "That is all thanks to the School Idol Club. Well, it's time that I returned to the Student Council. I'll leave the promo video preparations to you. See you later in the Clubroom."
AKI: "Shouldn't I be helping you in the Student Council?"
SHIORIKO: "Do not worry. You have helped me more than enough."
AKI: "Very well, good luck."
They're all trying to win...
Win what exactly?
Their tournaments?
Or are they trying to beat us?
AYUMU: "Huh? Aki? What are you doing here?"
AKI: "Oh, hey Ayu. I was just helping Shioriko thank all the other clubs.
But why are you here?"
AYUMU: "I'm on my way back from the Computer Club. You're heading to the Clubroom now, aren't you? We should walk together."
AKI: "Sure."
...
*WEST TOWER BUILDING - NIJIGASAKI HIGH SCHOOL - ODAIBA - TOKYO*
AYUMU: "How did it go when you thanked all the clubs? Are they excited about the video?"
AKI: "I didn't see you at the Computer Club. Did you leave before I got there?"
AYUMU: "I think so."
AKI: "I see... Well, everyone said they're desperate to see the promo video.
Guess they'll just have to wait. If we're replacing footage all the time we'll never get the damn thing done..."
AYUMU: "Huh?"
AKI: "Nothing..."
...
*THAT NIGHT*
*AYUMU'S ROOM - UEHARA RESIDENCE - KOTA CITY APARTMENT BUILDING - ODAIBA - TOKYO*
AYUMU: "I knew it. I knew there was something about the video that was bothering Aki.
He's been acting a little strange since we started working on it.
I know him. Whatever the problem is he'll find an answer.
I should send him a message... Maybe he's still awake."
