AKI: "And that concludes the camp report."

AI: "'Come Together, Dream Together!' That's a totally stellar slogan! It's like, nothing else would even fit!"

SETSUNA: "It sounds like you all had your work cut out for you... Thank you so much for all your help."

AKI: "Not at all! It was actually really fun."

AYUMU: "Yup! We all had a blast. In fact, we were so hyped up, we wound up having a big pillow fight after we finished talking."

KANATA: "Just thinking back on it makes my nose ache again..."

And my head... I never knew Ayu could swing a pillow that hard.

KASUMI: "Aww, it sounds like you all had a lot of fun. I wish I could've stayed at a Ryokan Inn."

EMMA: "The food was so delicious. It was a wonderful experience!"

AYUMU: "Uh-huh! The fish was so fresh, it took all of my willpower not to gobble it all up!"

AI: "I wanna try it sometime too!"

KARIN: "I liked the hot springs the best. I'd spend all day soaking in there if I could."

SHIZUKU: "I am certain you would wind up passing out if you did."

KASUMI: "Aww, guys! I'm so jealous! I wanna go next time!"

AI: "Me too!"

AKI: "Yeah, let's all go together next time!"

RINA: "I uploaded all of our plans to the website."

KASUMI: "You always get the job done so quickly, Rinako."

AYUMU: "I wonder what kind of response we'll get? I'm so nervous."

EMMA: "I hope everyone will be excited about it."

SETSUNA: "Given that you all had so much fun deciding what to do, I'm certain we'll have a positive response."

RINA: "Yup. Fun is infectious."

AI: "You said it! Let's get gunnin' for some funnin'!"

AYUMU: "We made great progress in our discussions, the food was fantastic and the hot springs felt amazing. It was truly a weekend to remember."

AKI: "What did the rest of you do this weekend?"

AI: "I sang some karaoke with my friends."

SETSUNA: "I spent my time reading through my backlog of light novels."

I suppose that now she's staying in Emma and Karin's dorm, she can do that freely...

KASUMI: "Me, Shizuko and Rinako hung out at Shinagawa."

SHIZUKU: "We also went to that anime shop you told us about, Setsuna."

SETSUNA: "Oh, that's wonderful! I can't imagine a better way to spend the weekend! What did you think?"

KASUMI: "We found the light novel for that anime you like so much."

SHIZUKU: "The beautiful cover was enough to capture our interest."

RINA: "Could you tell us about it? Rina-chan Board says, 'Sparkle'."

SETSUNA: "Of course! Oh, but how do I explain? The novel came first, but there's a manga for it too, and the anime is a prequel to the novel... Oh, I don't even know where to start!"

KASUMI: "...Um, whatever you do, put it in layman's terms."

RINA: "We also went to the aquarium."

SHIZUKU: "All those penguins and otters were just too adorable."

KASUMI: "Oh yeah! Then, we spotted Nico, Rin and Hanayo and decided to stalk... Er, I mean, we decided to see a school idol show with them!"

AKI: "Really? How was it?"

SHIZUKU: "It was fun. I'd never seen the group 'Liella' before. But it was quite exhilarating and a great learning experience."

KASUMI: "For sure! It really made me want to step up my game!"

RINA: "It was a great live show."

AKI: "Liella? That name sounds familiar... Are they that group of first-years from Yuigaoka High?"

SHIZUKU: "Yes! And if the opportunity ever arose, I would love to watch them perform again sometime."

AKI: "We can invite them to the School Idol Festival! I'm sure that they would love to take part. We do need to think about recruiting groups for the other stages, after all."

KASUMI: "At the Festival I wanna go see the other school idol shows too. I bet there are all sorts of amazing groups out there and I need to see them all! It'll help me be even cuter than ever!"

AYUMU: "That really is quite the coincidence that you would up bumping into Nico and the others, though."

KASUMI: "Oh yeah, speaking of coincidences, we ran into Shioriko Mifune, too."

AKI: "You ran into Mifune? What now....does she hate aquariums too?"

KASUMI: "No, we bumped into her at a playground."

AKI: "...A playground?"

SHIZUKU: "Indeed. As it turns out..."

...

AKI: "Huh... That's a crazy story."

RINA: "The kids were all over her, and she had a smile on her face the whole time."

KARIN: "I never would have thought she had that kind of side to her."

AKI: "That is true... Volunteering to play with children? That doesn't sound like what a Mifune would do."

SHIZUKU: "I just can't imagine that she's a bad person after seeing that."

AKI: "..."

AKI: "Oh bite me Mifune!"

SHIORIKO: "What...?!"

Hmm...

AKI: "Your days as Student Council President are numbered, Shioriko. Tick Tock."

...Maybe I'm being too judgemental?

No, she's the one being judgemental... Comparing me to my father, telling me what path to take...

AI: "What if she's only touchy over school idols?"

SHIZUKU: "I'm not sure, myself."

AKI: "Neither do I. There is nothing about her that points towards the direction of School Idols. It may have just been the way she was raised."

SETSUNA: "Right... I've heard that the Mifune's are a proud family of entrepreneurs. She probably never got the chance to discover school idols..."

AKI: "Never got the chance? Huh, then that would mean it's her parents' faults. Her sister is academically gifted, so I doubt she would 'waste' her time with school idols.
The only thing that this could point to is the fact that she's a Mifune."

AYUMU: "But people in famous families could be interested in school idols, even if their parents disapprove."

AKI: "True, Setsuna is an example."

SETSUNA: "I think Ayumu was talking about you, Chief."

AKI: "Me? Sure, I'm a Suzuki, but we're not anywhere near as strict as the Mifunes."

KASUMI: "Senpai, didn't your Dad become friends with Mifune's?"

AKI: "Sure, he got the friendship he wanted with Daisuke Mifune."

KASUMI: "Even after you argued with Shioriko?"

AKI: "Sure, I argued with her. Daisuke wasn't happy with that, but my father decided that it was my fault. All the blame got pinned onto me."

AYUMU: "That's awful..."

AKI: "Though, once he was in a high enough position, he cut ties with Daisuke after he didn't need him anymore."

KASUMI: "So that's why?"

AKI: "And so, the Mifunes began to hate the Suzukis. They see us as a bunch of liars who will only use people for their own gain.
But WE see the Mifune family for what they are too. Daisuke Mifune, a businessman who is willing to crush anything that isn't valuable to his empire.
Sounds familiar, right?"

SHIZUKU: "Are you sure that you're not jumping to conclusions, Senpai?"

AKI: "The evidence is all there. Shioriko wants to run this school like Daisuke runs his monopoly."

KARIN: "I guess that makes sense?"

AKI: "However, that doesn't mean that it's a confirmed case. We need a definitive reason for why she dislikes school idols so much if we're going to change her mind."

Not that her leadership will last long, if she continues going down this path...

AKI: "While we're waiting for more info to emerge on Shioriko, I want us to also focus on the joint solo live show we have coming up. Let's make this a show to remember!"

EVERYONE: "Yeah!"

AKI: "Wow, I'm pretty hungry. What say we discuss the joint solo show over some food at a diner?"
