RIN: "Aww... Kayo-chin's busy and my tests are coming up soon..."
AKI: "Your tests?"
RIN: "Yeah, I failed some things recently so I've got to sit some tests again...
Boring! Isn't there anything fun we can do?"
Oh for crying out loud...
AKI: "Yeah. But maybe we should put it on hold for a bit until after your tests are over."
RIN: "But, but, Nijigasaki's tests are already over, right?"
AKI: "Yes. We're focusing on career path stuff right now."
RIN: "So, you can spend time with me for a bit. C'mon, Nyakihiko! Let's hang out, nya!"
Gah! I can't let Rin tempt me... This is for her greater good.
AKI: "We need to focus on what needs to be done. We can go back to your club activities after the tests so we can hang out lots then."
RIN: "But I want to hang out now!"
AKI: "NO."
RIN: "I've got an idea, then."
AKI: "Eh? Where are you going?!"
...
*SCHOOL IDOL CLUBROOM - NIJIGASAKI HIGH SCHOOL - ODAIBA - TOKYO*
Of course she went all the way to Nijigasaki High School... *Sigh*
AI: *Giggle* "So that's why you came to see me? AI couldn't be more honored! Geddit? Because I'm Ai!"
RIN: "Yeah, nya! I thought if anyone would know how I feel, it'd be you!"
AI: "For sure I do, but I also see where the Prez is coming from."
AKI: "Me?"
AI: "Yeah. You're trying to create a space where Rin can concentrate on her tests to be considerate to her, right?
Rin, it'd be the pits if you get bad grades and couldn't continue your club activities anymore. You get how he feels, don't you?"
RIN: "I do, but..."
AI: "How's this then? You knock all of those tests out, and then you knock yourself out hanging out with us!"
RIN: "But there's still a week to go before my tests, nya. I don't wanna study the entire time! I've got the School Idol Festival to focus on, nya!
Tests are so boooooring!
And we have no date set for the next μ's live show either.
I'm bored that I'm bored of being bored!"
AKI: "Aw, c'mon, Rin..."
AI: "Nya! I'm so bored that I'm bored of being bored!"
RIN: "Huuuh?!"
AI: *Laugh* "How was my Rin impression?"
RIN: "NYAAAAAAGH!"
AI: "You sure know what you want, huh, Rin? That's totally something that I love about you!"
AKI: "If tests are boring to you, then we'll just have to find a way to make them more fun for you."
RIN: "Finding the fun in tests? Is that even possible? Tests are bori-"
AKI: "..."
RIN: "Nyaaaagh! I gotta stop this cycle of negativity in its tracks!"
AKI: "Yeah, I know that feeling."
RIN: "I need to turn it from a cycle of boredom into a cycle of fun, nya!
Can you two help me find a way to enjoy the tests? Please!"
AI: "That's the spirit!"
AKI: "Then let's do our best!"
RIN: "Um, so... I don't like studying for tests. And I don't like how our next live show isn't scheduled yet.
But, but! What I dislike even more is me saying all of these negative things! I wanna have more fun!"
AI: "Yup, I know! Juuust leave it to us!"
AKI: "If studying for tests is boring, then let's make it fun!"
RIN: "But it's NOT fun, right? Is it really possible to make it enjoyable?"
AI: "Aw, c'mon now. It's still too early for you to say that it's not fun."
AKI: "Let's look for ways to make studying for tests a blast, shall we?"
RIN: "Hmmm... Uhhh... Nyaaa... I can't think of anything..."
AI: "I know! We could turn your studies into a quiz, like a game show or something!"
RIN: "A quiz game show? I see those on TV every now and then. Sometimes I sit in front of the TV and join in with the first-to-the-buzzer segments too!"
AI: "Then let's study like that! A buzzer-bashing study quiz!"
AKI: "Sounds like fun!"
RIN: "But I don't get a lot of the questions right, even when I watch those game shows on TV...
Will I be able to answer the questions for the buzzer-bashing study quiz?"
AKI: "What will appear on the test is already set, so it'll be filled with questions you'll be able to answer as long as you're prepared for it!"
RIN: "Nya? Really?!"
AKI: "Yup! I know you can do it, Rin! Your dream of acing the test is within reach!"
RIN: "All right. I'm gonna give it my best shot, nya!"
AKI: "I'll put together a quiz based on what'll be on the test, so I want you two to prepare for it."
AI: "Mm-hmm, uh-huh. I like the sound of that! Let's do this, Rin!"
RIN: "Yeah! I'll do my best!"
AKI: "Also, do you remember the other thing you mentioned that you found boring, Rin?"
RIN: "Um... I said that I didn't like how our next live show wasn't scheduled yet."
AKI: "You sure did. If you find that boring, then let's start planning one ourselves!"
RIN: "Whaaat?!"
AKI: "Rin? Ai? Do you two want to have a joint live show?"
RIN: "Can we?!"
AI: "For real?! That's got me super hyped up! I'll totally give it my all if the two of us get to perform a live show!"
AKI: "I forbid practicing for that live show until the test is over. Though, you are still expected to train with the rest of the Club, Ai."
AI: "Got it."
RIN: "Aww, I don't get to train?!"
AKI: "You can still train with μ's, but not as a solo performer. Besides, it'll give you something to look forward to when this is all over."
RIN: "Woooow! Now I'm REALLY looking forward to the live show and studying for the test, nya!"
AI: "Let's give it all we've got, Rin!"
RIN: "Yeah!"
