AI: "Phew, kinda went overboard the other day! I chatted so much I could barely talk the next day and worried like you wouldn't believe!"
KARIN: "Would you happen to be talking about the surprise party?"
AI: "Yeah, that's it! I was wondering why everyone was getting together. But a party? I was crazy excited!"
KARIN: "Yeah, that was a big surprise. I can't believe the Boss and Ayumu were preparing for it in secret like that."
AI: "And like, they could've asked us to help, you know? I'm there when it counts, even if it doesn't seem like it!"
AYUMU: "But it was a surprise party, so we wanted to surprise you guys."
AI: "Then it was a huge success!"
KARIN: "Well, good job, Ayumu. It was a great party."
AYUMU: "Glad you liked it so much! It was worth all the hard work, then."
AI: "You guys really went all out, didn't you? Like, those decorations were crazy! You know how many likes I got when I posted the photos online?"
KARIN: "You clearly put a lot of effort into it, so I could feel your hospitality."
AYUMU: "You're going to make me blush, praising me like that."
AI: "Ahaha, you're real cute when you're blushing!
Let me give you a hug! C'mon over here!"
AYUMU: "H-Hey, quit teasing me!"
KARIN: "Teasings aside, it's just true that you're cute, Ayumu."
AYUMU: "Ahhh..."
AI: "Ahaha, you're beet red!"
AYUMU: "That aside, did you guys get closer with μ's and Aqours?"
KARIN: "Yeah, I managed to talk a bunch with everyone. It was a very rewarding gathering."
AI: "Looking forward to that second party! And we'll help out, too!"
AYUMU: "Sure, I'd love to do it again!"
AI: "Alright! I know the Prez will be happy seeing everyone get even closer!"
KARIN: "Speaking of which, shouldn't he be here by now?"
AYUMU: "I don't know, he told me to go ahead to the club. Something about him thinking something over?"
AI: "Aw man, I hope he's not down in the dumps again."
AYUMU: "N-Not at all. He sounded pretty excited."
*SLAM*
AKI: "Everyone! There's something I want you to hear. I...really don't want to give up on the School Idol Festival!"
KASUMI: "Huh? What's gotten into you?!"
AKI: "When I saw everyone coming together at the party, when I saw everyone shine in the P.V, I just... I really want people to see you all live. But there is no other stage more fitting than the School Idol Festival."
SETSUNA: "You're right. I don't want to give up, either. There's the problem of the venue, though."
AKI: "Yeah, I know it's a tough problem, but we still haven't done anything. So let's do what we can!"
KARIN: "Hmm. True, we haven't actually taken any action, yet."
KANATA: "Yeah. All I did was get disappointed. But, like, I have no idea what we should do, you know?"
AKI: "I don't know either, so I'm thinking of asking. The team behind the School Idol Festival had their contact info written on the website."
AI: "Oh, good idea! It'd be best to ask people involved. And I mean, we'd get to learn more about why the festival got canceled in the first place, too."
RINA: "But won't they get mad at you for asking about something that's already been decided? Rina-chan Board says, 'Nervous'."
AKI: "Well, if they get mad, then they get mad! I'm not going to sit back and do nothing!"
AYUMU: *Giggle* "That's you, all right. Stubborn as usual. Well, I think you should. I feel like it'll go well, too."
EMMA: "I think so, too! I'm sure there's a way to do this!"
SHIZUKU: "Good luck!"
AKI: "Thanks!"
