HOST: "That was an amazing effort from all of you, all ten of you are stars! But as we know, only one of you will earn the opportunity for your school to perform alongside μ's and Aqours on the main stage of the School Idol Festival."
AKI: "They're announcing the results... Come on. Please..."
HOST: "The winner of the finals and going to the main stage is..."
AKI: "Ayu...Ayu...Ayu..."
And at that moment, the world stopped. We were hit with the biggest news possible.
HOST: "Ayumu Uehara from Nijigasaki High School! Congratulations!!"
AKI: "YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSS!!!! YES YES YES! WE DID IT! SHE DID IT! WE'RE GOING TO THE FESTIVAL!!!"
Everyone looked stunned into silence, they couldn't believe either that our dream was going to become a reality.
Ayu collected her prize ticket, thanked the fans and rejoined us backstage. To which we then welcomed her with a giant group hug.
AYUMU: "E-Everyone..."
AKI: "YOU DID IT AYU! You've punched our ticket to the main stage! I'm so proud of you... I knew you could do it!"
AYUMU: "It all feels so surreal, I can't believe it. I-I won the event... WE won the event!"
AKI: "WE DID IT! Nijigasaki... We really won it!"
EVERYONE: "YAY!"
AYUMU: "The main stage of the school idol festival... We can really stand on it!"
RINA: "With μ's?"
SHIZUKU: "And Aqours, too."
EMMA: "I know it's not a dream, but it sure feels like one."
KARIN: "Emma, want me to pinch your cheek?"
EMMA: "What?!"
SETSUNA: "No pinch me! S-Someone, p-please PINCH ME! THANK YOU SO MUCH AYUMU, I LOVE YOU! MY HEART CAN'T TAKE IT!"
AYUMU: "Whoa! Setsuna, hang in there!"
KASUMI: "I'll fan you with my favorite towel!"
*Flap* *Flap*
KANATA: "Oh, I was so shocked that I fell asleep."
AI: "I think that's what you call fainting."
AKI: "Congrats Ayu... And congrats to everyone for your amazing performances! Now you can stand on the same stage as μ's and Aqours! Now... Let's show everyone the charms of Nijigasaki's solo school idols!"
EVERYONE: "YEAH!"
