AFTER-PARTY:



AKI: "Huh? What's everyone doing, all gathered up? The party was yesterday and we're already planning another?!"



HONOKA: "Nope, I wanted to thank everyone who helped with the party. So, we're having a little afterparty ourselves."


AKI: "Oh yeah? Looks like my timing was perfect, then."



HONOKA: "C'mon, sit down!"


AKI: "Okay, okay, you don't have to drag me."


HONOKA: "Here you go, have a sweet bun!"


AKI: "Thanks. I also wanted to thank you in particular, Honoka, for the party."



HONOKA: "Huh, why me?"



YOU: "Yeah, we had a lot of fun thanks to you."



CHIKA: "And like, preparing stuff was really exciting."



AYUMU: "In fact, we probably had the most fun of all."


AKI: "That's true, it was nice to see all three groups interacting and having fun together."



HONOKA: "See? Everyone's to thank."


AKI: "Obviously, but I really look up to you, Honoka!"



HONOKA: "Y-You do? There's nothing to look up to, trust me."


AKI: "I think it's impressive that you can consider everyone and take action like that. I mean, I wouldn't have thought of throwing a party like this, but you gathered us together to help us become closer.
I think I want to learn from how proactive you are. I figure if I can become more like you, then I can do a better job of supporting everyone."



HONOKA: "You already do that! And besides, Umi's always telling me not to just charge forward without thinking and taking me to task."


AKI: "Huh, she is?"



HONOKA: "Yeah, it's true. That's why you seem a lot more amazing to me. You're always watching over us and supporting us. Like, I'm really grateful!"


AKI: "Aww, you're going to make me blush, but...thank you."



HONOKA: "I'm the one who should be thanking you for always having our backs."



CHIKA: "You, thank you for always supporting me!"


YOU: "Joining in, huh? U-Uh, thanks...?"



KOTORI: "Still, it was a super fun party. Everyone got to talk a lot to each other and get closer."


CHIKA: "Yeah, we should probably meet up more regularly."


AYUMU: "I'm for that!"


AKI: "Well, give me a call when you do. I always want to do my part to put together a party that everyone'll love."



HONOKA: "I'll hold you to that, then. Anyways, cheers!"



EVERYONE: "Cheers!"


Everyone has so much chemistry with each other.


It only proves to me that I was right. I need to do something to save the School Idol Festival from being canceled.


Not just to see Nijigasaki on the main stage, but to see μ's and Aqours, too. To see everyone come together, dream together, shine together.


Party time is over, it's time for business to begin. Tomorrow, I break the news to everyone.


I'm going to do whatever it takes to save the festival.
