Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts - The Sagu Aoyama Universe Crossover Series

As a member of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka, Yasuhisa Yoshida had created his own set of friends, which most of them were coming from the Kashii Gakuen Middle School boys’ basketball team, thus creating his group known as the Crimson Tiger Sentinel. Only Norimasa Takasago, Moritaka Minagawa, Akitoshi Saotome and Yoshihiko Toriumi were considered close to Yasuhisa. Eventually, he had gathered up with his childhood friends from his hometown in Hakozaki to form the Hakozaki Crimson Growl, which is served as the extended group of the Crimson Tiger Sentinel. So, here are the profiles of the two groups: (1) the Crimson Tiger Sentinel and (2) the childhood friends of Yasuhisa Yoshida. Coincidentally, Hakozaki is also a surname, which it was Serika's surname. Serika Hakozaki is a female character of THE IDOLM@STER, representing Million Live!, and is voiced by Momo Asakura, who was born in the Fukuoka Prefecture. Momo is also a member of TrySail, composed of her, Sora Amamiya and Shiina Natsukawa. Fukuoka Prefecture is also the hometown of various voice actors such as Kaori Maeda (member of Nijigasaki High School Idol Club), Seena Hoshiki, Mai Fuchigami, Nako Eguchi, Kana Asumi, Hibiku Yamamura (her birthday was last February 10), Yume Miyamoto, Ruriko Noguchi, Yūki Takada, Rena Maeda, Rina Satō, Kenji Hamada, Ryōtarō Okiayu, Yasuto Saka, Kensho Ōno (recently married to Kana Hanazawa), Ai Kakuma and Yukari Tamura (her birthday will be on February 27).

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES
CHAPTER 15: “THE MEETING OF THE FUTURE ELEGANT ROLE MODELS IN NAHA

Date: April 30, 2010 (Friday)

This side chapter is focused on Mieko Kaneshiro and the Bravehearts of Naha as they are going to meet their guests at the Kaneshiro Residence, the home of the Bravehearts of Naha.

In Mawashi, Naha, Mieko Kaneshiro and her friends have been making a pomegranate juice while waiting for the guests to arrive very soon. They don’t know who the guests are but only Meiko and Yoshitarō Karimata know about this. The friends of Mieko are composed of Chizuru Tomoyose, Sora Yasuoka, Haruka Ie, Rie Hanashiro, Kuni Tsuhako, Shigeko Tarakaki, Mariko Miyasaka, Ryōko Toyosato and Kanako Matsushima. The leaders of the Bravehearts of Naha are both Yoshitarō Karimata and Ayako Tōma. Mieko, Chizuru, Sora, Haruka and Rie were studying in the Matsuyori Gakuen Middle School while Kuni, Shigeko, Mariko Ryōko and Kanako were studying in the Matsuyori Gakuen Elementary School. Other members of the Bravehearts of Naha are Yū Sugasawa, Shoko Namizato, Keizō Mitsuhara, Masayuki Kuwae, who were all not present right now.

“Hey, Mieko-san!” said Chizuru Tomoyose, a first year middle school student from the Matsuyori Gakuen Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Naha.

“Yes, Zuru-san, what is it?” asked Mieko Kaneshiro, a first year middle school student from the Matsuyori Gakuen Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Naha.

“You said that you had a friend who is considered a role model to fascinate a lot of things in Naha. Is that correct?” said Chizuru.

“Yes, of course, Zuru-san. She’s on her way to visit our home with her friends” said Mieko.

“Well, I’m so excited that there will be guests coming to our home” said Chizuru.

“And hopefully, they’ll make themselves comfortable to be with us” said Sora Yasuoka, a first year middle school student from the Matsuyori Gakuen Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Naha.

“Yeah! Role models are very known in Naha because they love to explore something that fascinates and shocks you. Those people like me have always go for first impression before saying something nice to what you have seen. Ever since Yoshitarō build this braveheart group, I begin to do my role modeling duties to make friends with those who supported me on my side and it was very nice that I have done this for a year” said Mieko.

“I’m very proud that you represent for us. Hopefully, you might want to lead the student council for sure” said Chizuru.

“You’re looking pretty when you make them nice to you with your smile” said Sora.

“And you’re a good leader for our group” said Haruka Ie, a first year middle school student from the Matsuyori Gakuen Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Naha.

“Uh… I’m not interested in running for the student council, but I’m helping them though to make our school getting brighter like the way it is” said Mieko.

“Ah, okay, I understand about that” said Chizuru.

“What a shame that you didn’t run, Mieko” said Sora.

“At least that you’re ambitious to help everyone” said Haruka.

“Like us. That’s what you do to make us blessed” said Rie Haneshiro, a first year middle school student from the Matsuyori Gakuen Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Naha.

“Yeah, I agree. However, it’s only a matter of time that I may run for the future of Matsuyori Gakuen if I’ll be able to keep my role modeling duties for sure” said Mieko.

“Yeah” said Chizuru, Sora, Haruka and Rie.

Yoshitarō Karimata, a second year high school student from the Matsuyori Gakuen High School and the leader of the Bravehearts of Naha. “Everyone! The guests are finally here!”

“Really?” excitedly queried Mieko.

“Are they here?” asked Chizuru.

“Yep! They are now sitting in the living room” said Ayako Tōma, a second year high school student from the Matsuyori Gakuen High School and the vice leader of the Bravehearts of Naha.

“So, you better get ready to meet with them” said Yoshitarō.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Naha. The members of the Bravehearts of Naha would enter to the living with the guests staying in the sofa. Their guests are revealed to be Miyoshi Gushiken, Kōichi Wakasa, Yurika Kokubi, Takumi Miyazato, Natsuko Seki, Minoru Terasawa, Ayami Sakiyama and Karin Higawa. They were all studying in the Mawashi Middle School as first year middle school students.

“So, it’s nice that you’re now here at my home and I’m so excited that you’re going to play with us later!” said Mieko.

“Yeah, Mieko-san! I’m very confident that we’re going to have a great time to get along with you and your friends! It’s what we do because we want to explore something new” said Miyoshi Gushiken, the cousin of Shupe Gushiken of the Music Girls.

“Yeah, I agree, girl!” said Mieko. “Now, introduce to us, my dear guests.”

“Okay!” said Miyoshi and her friends as they’re going to introduce themselves one by one.

“I’m Miyoshi Gushiken.”

“I’m Kōichi Wakasa.”

“I’m Yurika Kokubi.”

“I’m Takumi Miyazato.”

“I’m Natsuko Seki.”

“I’m Minoru Terasawa.”

“I’m Ayami Sakiyama.”

“And I’m Karin Higawa.”

Miyoshi and her friends would shout together in unison. “We’re the Gushiken Stormgazers, who were all coming out from Mawashi!”

“Ah, you must be Miyoshi!” said Chizuru.

“One of the role models that everyone buzzes about” said Sora.

“Yep! Mieko and Yoshitarō have invited me to visit this place because I want to get to know with you. I’m a role model where I was able to explore everything in Naha and that’s why I want to make sure that you’re going make me a new friend” said Miyoshi.

“Well, I’m interested to make friends with you, Miyoshi-san!” said Mieko.

“Yeah! We want you to make new friends with our group!” said Yoshitarō.

Miyoshi smiles on her face before speaking to Mieko and Yoshitarō. “Of course! I always want to partner with the role models in this place, so that we’ll create a bond between each other. It seems that being a role model wasn’t a bad job to do that, right?”

“Yeah, I agree, Miyoshi-san! Since we’re both role models, what should we do today?” said Mieko.

“Well, we should share about role modeling to everyone” said Miyoshi.

“Okay, I’ll go with that!” said Mieko.

“Great!” said Miyoshi before going to take a glass of pomegranate juice. As she’s drinking a glass of pomegranate juice, she asks Mieko about the job of being a role model. “So, what’s a role model?”

“It is a job to impress and fascinates something that is interesting on you. People want to get into it if he/she likes and then, they also want to convince their friends to see it for themselves. But it is also important that you want them to show what you’re doing, so that they’ll be interested on following it” said Mieko.

“Ah, I see! I didn’t know that they’re convincing people to see something good and fascinating. They want to make them know that they’ll follow what they’re doing. One thing that I remember is when I was interested in modern housing, I was so surprised that there were a lot of houses have their own design to spot on. I observe them before I give the first impressions to it. It was nice that I have made them pleased with my impressions that I have made” said Miyoshi.

“Oh, that was good! I like the way you impress people with some observation that you make, so that they’ll be satisfied with it. Your role modeling skills are looking great just like mine” said Mieko.

“Really, you too?” queried Miyoshi.

“Yep! I started to become a role model when the Bravehearts of Naha was formed and Yoshitarō asked me to be a role model for that group because not only I’m the captain of the Matsuyori Gakuen Elementary School girls’ basketball team, but I’m very good at making friends with everyone on my side. I started to form my own group known as the Cerise Section with my close friend Hinata Maeyama where we begin to observe and impress a lot of stuff that you see in Naha and everyone loves it” said Mieko.

“Well, I’m impressed that you had been observing a lot of things that you saw in Naha and it’s nice that people are following you for sure” said Miyoshi.

“Yeah, of course! My close friends were always following me when I was exploring different places in Naha and they feel confident that they want to see me impress something that will shock you” said Mieko.

“Ah, good for you!” said Miyoshi.

“By the way, Mieko-san, what are the other things that you do aside from being a role model?” asked Kōichi Wakasa.

“I have a few hobbies that I frequently used either within the Bravehearts of Naha or my friends. For example, I like to give everyone some good advice to them if they need to feel them good or I want to hang out with them for a good walk. That will make us better to explore one place to another” said Mieko.

“Ah, that’s very nice. It’s nice that you have those hobbies to do to make your friends getting interested on it” said Kōichi.

“Everyone has their own hobbies and they have to do those if they have the desire to do” said Yurika Kokubi.

“Like me playing video games on your phone” said Takumi Miyazato.

“Or me listening to the music” said Yurika.

“It’s nice that you have those hobbies to make you feel good” said Takumi.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Mieko and her friends.

“What about your interests in visiting place that are not in Naha? Do you have one?” asked Natsuko Seki.

“Yes, I have visited different places in Okinawa when my family and I doing road trips during the vacation. I want to gleam out to look at those magnificent places that you find them exotic or beautiful because I have to visit those for myself” said Mieko.

“Well, my family and I were used to do road trips too, Mieko-san! It’s so fantastic that you should smell the fresh air to feel it good!” said Natsuko.

“Oh, that’s very nice! I’m so glad that I might have a partner who is interested in going out for fun!” said Mieko.

“Everyone knows that visiting the wonderful places in Okinawa would make you feel excited” said Chizuru.

“It’s not always to say ‘extraordinary’ when you look at them” said Sora.

“But you should say ‘awesome’ and ‘beautiful’ like you’re breezing your way to impress this place!” said Haruka.

“When we go to those places, we like to explore before our very eyes and then, we would go out and enjoy ourselves” said Rie.

“Yeah, I agree, girls! One day, you should invite me to go to some places that you haven’t explore!” said Natsuko.

“Everyone is excited to go out when you want to visit the places that we never before seen and it’s not going to be a hassle to visit!” said Miyoshi.

“It will be great that we want to them for ourselves!” said Minoru Terasawa.

“Yeah, me too! I want to get along with you!” said Yurika.

“It’s going to be fun while it lasted!” said Takumi.

“Well, of course, I’m going to invite you all to our very road trip someday. You’ll be my guests to show something beautiful and one day, when the summer break comes, we should go out for sure!” said Mieko.

“Yeah!” said Miyoshi and her friends.

“Hey, you know what, since it’s Golden Week break, why don’t you all invite us to visit Kagoshima this weekend? It’s going to be cool that we will visit that place!” said Ayako.

“Yeah, we would be glad to!” said Miyoshi.

“Sure, we would!” said Kōichi, Yurika, Takumi, Natsuko, Minoru, Ayami and Karin.

“How did you know about that?” asked Miyoshi.

“Well, as you can see, Yoshitarō and his friends have booked a stay in a hotel in Kagoshima for three days and we want you to come with us for some exploration time” said Mieko.

“It’s going to be three days to stay in Kagoshima because Mieko wants to travel there to find something fasntastic to see!” said Chizuru.

“Because she’s the role model in our group. Right?” said Sora.

“Yeah!” said Miyoshi and her friends.

“You’re going to see some places that are exotic and beautiful” said Haruka.

“And we can have some fun activities that you should enjoy!” said Rie.

“We can play beach volleyball” said Kuni Tsuhako, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Matsuyori Gakuen Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Naha.

“Or go swimming” said Shigeko Tarakaki, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Matsuyori Gakuen Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Naha.

“Yoshitarō had been very good in organizing activities that will excite you because he had been able to cater his friends to have fun” said Mariko Miyasaka, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Matsuyori Gakuen Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Naha.

“And he had learned about from his father Yoshimasa, which means that he’ll find some good places to explore, so that he will invite everyone on his side to have a good advanture” said Ryōko Toyosato, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Matsuyori Gakuen Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Naha.

“A good adventure may be a good time to explore because there are a lot of new things to explore and treasure for yourselves” said Kanako Matsushima, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Matsuyori Gakuen Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Naha.

“Well, we’re interested in exploring new places with you, girls! It’s going to be fantastic that we’ll get along with you!” said Miyoshi.

“Okay, then, you’re all invited to our road trip tomorrow” said Mieko.

“Yay!” shouted Miyoshi and her friends in excitement. “Thank you very much, Miyoshi-san!”

“Oh, I’m not only the one that you thank, but you should thank both Yoshitarō and Ayako for organizing this. You should be proud of us because we invited you” said Mieko.

“Ah, okay” said Miyoshi and her friends before thanking both Yoshitarō and Ayako. “Thank you very much for the both of you!”

“No problem!” said Yoshitarō.

“You should be all set for the road trip tomorrow and you’ll be ready to see everything that you want to explore!” said Ayako.

“Yeah, we will!” said Miyoshi and her friends.

“Hey, Mieko-san!” said Miyoshi.

“Yeah, what is it, Miyoshi-san?” asked Mieko.

“I would not mind if we should all go up to the balcony and see the wonderful view. That way, we want to impress this” said Miyoshi.

“Sure, I would be glad to, Miyoshi-san!” said Mieko before speaking to her friends. “Now, let’s go upstairs and enter to my room to visit the balcony for a sightseeing!”

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Naha as they will be heading upstairs with Mieko, Miyoshi and the members of the Gushiken Stormgazers to visit the room of Mieko for a sightseeing activity.

At the balcony of the Kaneshiro Residence, located outside of the room of Mieko, everyone would look at the beautiful sky above the houses, which makes everyone gleam in excitement.

“It’s a beautiful day with the sun shines through the sky” said Miyoshi.

“Yeah, I agree, Miyoshi-san! I always look up on that every morning when I wake up early” said Mieko.

“Ah, I see what you’re doing in the morning before going to school. Well, I always go out of the house to see the sky before going to school. The breeze may have been winding all in circles. I feel excited about making a day to get along with my friends. Do you done on that, my friends?” said Miyoshi.

“Yes, we are!” said Kōichi, Yurika, Takumi, Natsuko, Minoru, Ayami and Karin.

“I always look at the sky to see it blue and I’m so happy that it feels good to see it” said Kōichi.

“Mine was when I was looking at the ray of the sun through my room. It shines so bright that I want to check the sun. It was very nice that I have feeling it” said Yurika.

“I have feeling it too when I look at the sky about 5:30 in the morning. It’s so great that I want to see it for myself” said Takumi.

“When it was the dawn hour, I look up into the windows and it was so bright tht I see the sky being clear. I became delighted that the view was beautiful” said Natsuko.

“Sometimes when I drink a glass of chocolate right in the middle of preparations of going to school everyday, I look at the sky and it was bright to see with clouds moving in and winds brezzing its way” said Minoru.

“I woke up about 5:15 in the morning to look at the view and it was very beautiful that I had seen the sky getting clear before the sun comes out later. It was the best scene that I have ever saw” said Ayami.

“Every time that I go out of the balcony to see the view, it was so perfect that I want to take a picture of it. I want to say that it would be a bright day to start” said Karin.

“Well, I know that you guys have impressed the view when you wake up early in the morning, but to be honest, I had wanted to see the sky going blue all day untl it is nighttime” said Mieko.

“Yeah, you can take a deep breath before you look at the beautiful sky that brights al day” said Chizuru.

“When we look at those magnificent clouds in the morning, you can see that it moves when it’s going to make way for the sun to shine” said Sora.

“The sun had been shining when it was morning and afternoon” said Haruka.

“However, sometimes, it might be cloudy, which means that you may not gonna see the sun at all” said Rie.

“There are a lot of times that you’re gonna see a view with more clouds in the sky, but the sun comes out for a second to create the light” said Kuni.

“That way, you’ll be believed that it still shines bright after all” said Shigeko.

“We always look at the sky and the sun when we go out after classes were over, signifying that it was a good day” said Mariko.

“But sometimes, when it’s getting cloudy, you can’t see the sun, but a beautiful blue sky may appear to let you look at it” said Ryōko.

“That’s why every time when we look at the view, you don’t know whether it’s clear to see or going to shine bright. You’ll see the fact that the scene of the sky may change, depends on what will happen on that day. Everyone will look up on it before observing it” said Kanako.

“So, when you do that every time when you’ll go out, you could feel the breeze that makes you excited for a second and when you look at the view, you’ll see the fact that it shines through our way. Right, girls?” said Mieko.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Naha.

“Ah, I get it now! I would love to see the view that is so clear to see and I can’t wait that when we get into this in our vacation, it’s going to be a great time to say that it’s a beautiful day!” said Miyoshi.

“It’s going to be fun to watch the view before you’ll do anything for a day” said Kōichi.

“Yeah!” said Mieko while her friends from the Bravehearts of Naha nod their heads to agree with Miyoshi and Kōichi.

“You know what, I was going to tell you that I want to be part of your organization because since we’re both role models, we should go out and gleam together to explore!” said Miyoshi.

“Well, I’m gratified that you’re here to meet us for the first time and since you’re good in impressing everyone on your side, it would be an honor to be part of our team” said Mieko.

“Really? Are you going to let me join your group?” asked Miyoshi.

“Yep! I’m happy that you’re going to get along with us to bless our community in Naha. One day, we’re going to work together to organize activities to make our allies get their attention to participate” said Mieko.

“Of course, we should do that, Mieko-san! Hopefully, you’ll find some new plans to shake things up for your group!” said Miyoshi.

“You got it!” said Mieko.

Miyoshi would speak to her fellow friends from the Gushiken Stormgazers. “Hey, everyone! We’re now part of the Bravehearts of Naha!”

“Oh, good! I’m so excited that we’re going to work with Mieko and her friends!” said Kōichi.

“I’m so happy that you and Mieko are now friends!” said Yurika.

“It’s going to be great that we will move up to the next level, thanks to that new friendship that you made” said Takumi.

“Hopefully, it’s going to be harmonious that you and Mieko will work together to make the community blessed for sure!” said Natsuko.

“Yeah, I will do it for you guys!” said Miyoshi.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Gushiken Stormgazers.

“So, Mieko-san, we should go down now and of course, we brought some badminton rackets for a game of badminton. Do you want to join?” said Miyoshi.

“Yeah, I love to play badminton, even though I’m a basketball player. I can’t wait to see you pumping up to play with me!” said Mieko.

“You got it!” said Miyoshi.

“Should we play badminton too, please?” asked Chizuru.

“Yeah, we should play with that too!” said Sora.

“Okay, I would be happy to play with you!” said Miyoshi.

“Yay!” said Chizuru and Sora.

“Now, let’s have some fun outside by playing badminton, everyone!” said Mieko.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Naha and the Gushiken Stormgazers as everyone alongside Mieko are leaving the balcony to go downstairs and head outside to play badminton with each other. The two role models Mieko and Miyako have shared each other’s experiences of being a role model, which means to Mieko welcoming Miyoshi and her group, the Gushiken Stormgazers, to be part of the Bravehearts of Naha. It’s going to be fantastic to see Mieko and Miyoshi doing role modeling duties together and hopefully, they’ll be able to make their friends getting excited on what’s exploring not only in Naha, but the entire Okinawa Prefecture.

It’s very nice to see the Bravehearts of Naha welcoming the Gushiken Stormgazers, thus their partnership had been made because this will help Mieko Kaneshiro to gleam out with her fellow role models from the Mawashi Middle School in making sure that they’ll be excited to see what’s buzzing around in Naha and hopefully, they will be organizing future activities to spark things out for their community to shine. I’m sure that if everyone wants to gleam and shine, then any braveheart group like the Bravehearts of Naha will do anything to shine with their own ideas to bloom them for sure! The next update will be focused on one of my favorite characters of Love Live! Sunshine!! in Ruby Kurosawa as she and her fellow groupmates Chika Takami and Yō Watanabe will be organizing their sub-group’s appreciation activity known as CYaRon!’s Appreciation Day, which means that the friends of Ruby, Chika and Yō will be there to participate and appreciate CYaRon! I’ll see you on February 21 (Sunday) for the next update of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts!

Yesterday (February 20) was the birthday of Kagetsu Hakamada from Ro-Kyu-Bu! Kagetsu is the younger sister of Hinata (CV: Yui Ogura) and a member of the Keishin Academy Elementary School girls’ basketball team. She is considered athletic because she had competed in a marathon before joining the varsity basketball team. Kagetsu is voiced by Asami Setō. Belated happy birthday, Kagetsu!:) Today’s update is going to be very special for me because this one will be dedicated to five seiyus: Nana Hanamura, Nozomi Sasaki, Yuichi Nakamura, Yūichi Iguchi and Ai Furihata. Last February 19 (Friday) were the birthdays of Ai, Nana and Nozomi, yesterday (February 20) was the birthday of Yuichi and tomorrow (February 22) will be the birthday of Yūichi. But before I’m going to make this update dedicated to Ai, I’ll be explaining the first four. Nana is the voice actress of Peko Onaka and Ino Kawai, both characters are from Hitori Bocchi no Marumaru Saikatsu, while Nozomi is the voice actress of Imouto Misaka from A Certain Magical Index series and Hina Ebina from My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU. Yuichi is the voice actor of Tatsuya Shiba (The Irregular at Magic High School), Basara Tōjō (The Testament of Sister New Devil) and Kyōsuke Kōsaka (Oreimo). And Yūichi is the voice actor of Max Alors and Kawazu (Fairy Tail), Genshirō Saji (High School DxD), Kōki Mikagami (Oreimo), Yōsuka Sakagami (Sakurada Reset) and Kanata Minato (I-Chu: Halfway Through the Idol). Hopefully, they’ll continue making progress of their voice acting careers. Belated happy birthday, Nana, Nozomi and Yuichi, and advanced happy birthday, Yūichi!:) And of course, the reason why I want to save Ai for last is because today’s update that I’ll be posted will be focused on Ruby Kurosawa, one of my favorite characters of Love Live! Sunshine!! So, get ready to show some pride and compassion for her as here comes today’s update!;)

If Chapter 12 had been focused on Dia Kurosawa, then today's update will be focused on Ruby Kurosawa, the younger sister of Dia, as her sub-unit CYaRon! will be organizing their special day, which will be known as CYaRon!’s Appreciation Day, where they will invite their friends to gather together with them for just one day. In case you don’t know, there are two things that I loved: (1) both Dia and Ruby are my favorite characters of Love Live! Sunshine!! because they were showing their pride and compassion for their family and Aqours and (2) CYaRon! is one of my two favorite sub-units of Love Live! School Idol Project series (the other is A・ZU・NA, composed of Ayumu Uehara (CV: Aguri Ōnishi), Shizuku Ōsaka (CV: Kaori Maeda) and Setsuna Yūki (CV: Tomori Kusunoki), all of them are from the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club). CYaRon! is composed of Chika Takami (CV: Anju Inami), Yō Watanabe (CV: Shuka Saitō) and Ruby Kurosawa (CV: Ai Furihata). I like that sub-unit because they are so cute to show their pride and smile to make them prestige. Of course, not only this one is going to be special for their friends, but I want to make this update being dedicated to Ai Furihata, whose birthday was last February 19 (Friday). Born in Shiojiri, Nagano, Ai is the voice actress of Ruby Kurosawa, the younger sister of Dia Kurosawa (CV: Arisa Komiya), of Love Live! Sunshine!!, representing Aqours and CYaRon!, and one of my favorite seiyus of Love Live! School Idol Project series because she was so cute and prestigious to show her admiration to her fans as she had performed alongside her fellow groupmates from Aqours and I was so proud of her when she had started her music career last year with two mini albums, “Moonrise” and “Make-up”. Hopefully, she will continue to make progress of her voice acting and music career just like with the rest of Aqours did!;) Belated happy birthday, Ai!:) Now, if you’re ready to cheer, shine and smile with CYaRon!, then here comes the sixteenth side chapter of the Red Section Series with the title, “Cheer, Shine and Smile for CYaRon!’s Appreciation Day!”! Enjoy reading the sixteenth side chapter of the Red Section Series!:)

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES
CHAPTER 16: “CHEER, SHINE AND SMILE FOR CYARON!’S APPRECIATION DAY!

Date: May 8, 2010 (Saturday)

This side chapter is focused on Ruby Kurosawa as she and her fellow friends Chika and Yō, both from CYaRon!, have invited their close friends to their activity known as CYaRon!’s Appreciation Day at the Jūsenman Inn where they have a great time to get along with them for the entire day.

Today is CYaRon!’s Appreciation Day where the close friends of Chika, Yō and Ruby were all invited to have a good time getting along with CYaRon! for the entire day. At the living room of Jūsenman Inn, Ruby’s friends have stayed in the sofa to relax together while Chika, Yō and Ruby are giving them some glasses of mikan juice. Riko, Yoshiko and Hanamaru were relaxing themselves and drinking the mikan juice while the friends of Chika and Yō are also present, sitting in the tatami.

Close Friends of Chika Takami and Yō Watanabe: Itsuki Yamashiro, Mutsu Takata, Yoshimi Tazawa, Masami Ozaki, Kirara Fukai, Mako Shirasaki, Akira Koezuka, Haruka Kawanami, Noa Hagino, Miyako Ishigami, Moeka Kawashima, Hiroe Tsujino and Ichika Katayama

Close Friends of Ruby Kurosawa: Shōjirō Nagayama, Mariko Tsujihara, Hikaru Igarashi, Sayuri Fujikawa, Mafuyu Saotome, Azusa Nakazawa and Sakiko Fukusawa

“Thank you, everyone, for coming to our activity and it’s nice that you’re all here for something special” said Chika.

“Something special that everyone will be excited to make this day getting brighter” said Yō.

“And it’s going to be awesome that we will give you the joy that you want” said Ruby.

“So, are you ready for CYaRon!’s Appreciation Day?” shouted Chika.

“Yeah!” said the close friends of Chika, Yō and Ruby.

“Great! To start things off, we’re going to organize the activities for this day as an appreciation that you give CYaRon! some cuteness that we want to show” said Chika.

“Yep! For the entire day, we will let you all involve in the activities that will energize you all!” said Yō.

“Hopefully, you’ll like it!” said Ruby.

“Yeah!” said the close friends of Chika, Yō and Ruby.

“Now, I’m going to put three friend groups into a competition where the team with the most victories in every activity that we will do for today will get a special price!” said Chika.

“Wow! A special prize?!” shouted the close friends of Chika, Yō and Ruby.

“That’s right, everyone! A special price will be something that you need to treasure it and hopefully, you’ll give CYaRon! some pride” said Yō.

“So, in order to get that prize, everyone must get involved in the activities and you’ll get earned yourself of it by the end of the day” said Ruby.

“Yeah, we understand, girls!” said the close friends of Chika, Yō and Ruby.

“I’m going to assign the three groups for the activities that will be doing and this will serve as your participation for our Appreciation Day” said Chika before shouting the name of the groups. “First up, my own friend group that everyone makes love for everyone, Team Chika!”

“Yeah! We’re Team Chika and we’re the best!” said Itsuki, Mutsu, Yoshimi, Masami, Kirara, Mako and Akira.

“Then, sailing through pride and courage for Team Yō!” said Chika.

“Let’s represent for Yō-san!” said Haruka Kawanami.

“Aye-aye!” said Noa, Miyako, Moeka, Hiroe and Ichika.

“Wow! Looking pumped up with catchphrase!” said Yō.

“And last but not the least, wink all your way for Team Ruby!” said Chika.

“Let’s work together as a team!” said Shōjirō.

“Yeah!” said Mariko, Hikaru, Sayuri, Mafuyu, Azusa and Sakiko before they put their hands together for their chant while Shōjirō places his hand with the others. “Ganbaruby!”

“I’m so excited to see my friends getting prepared for our activity!” said Ruby.

“Yes, indeed, Ruby-chan!” said Chika while smiling on her face before commencing CYaRon!’s Appreciation Day. “Now, let the Appreciation Day begins!”

“Yeah!” said the close friends of Chika, Yō and Ruby as this begins the montage of the activities for CYaRon!’s Appreciation Day.

“The first activity will be Mikan Eating Challenge! Each member of each group must eat the mikans by either chewing or slow eating it. However, you must eat all pieces of it before passing it to your next person that will represent for your group” said Chika.

“The first group who eats all the mikans wins this competition!” said Yō.

“And remember, don’t spit it out if you find it hard. Just chew until you’re done. Okay?” said Ruby.

“Yeah, we understand the rules, girls!” said the close friends of Chika, Yō and Ruby.

Chika holds the whistle before she, Yō and Ruby shout together in unison. “Ready, set, go!”

The three groups send their first representatives to begin eating the mikan. Itsuki was very quick to eat a piece of mikan until she chews it all. This gives Team Chika some boost for their chance to win the first activity. Other groups were catching up as they were also trying to chew all pieces of mikan to make sure that they’ll get past Team Chika. When it reaches the last mikan, Mako chews the last piece of mikan, thus gives Team Chika their first win.

“Alright! We have a winner! It’s Team Chika! Congratulations, girls!” said Chika.

“Yeah! We won the first activity!” said Itsuki.

“Great job, team!” said Mutsu.

“Yeah!” said Yoshimi, Masami, Kirara, Mako and Akira.

The next activity comes out as this time, the three groups are now heading outside for the second activity. Chika speaks to them about the next activity. “The next activity will be Get the Flag! Each group must get a flag from the pole, one to another and you need five flags to collect. There are five poles being placed in different locations around the Inn, so you better find it wisely, otherwise, you’ll get lost.”

“There are three colors that we used: orange, aqua and pink. You should get the right color of the flag that your group assigned. Team Chika will get the orange flags, Team Yō will get the aqua flags and Team Ruby will get the pink flags” said Yō while showing the three colored flags that are placed in a table.

“So, whoever gets all flags will be the winner of the second activity. Do you understand, everyone?” said Ruby.

“Yeah, we understand!” said the close friends of Chika, Yō and Ruby.

“Then, here we go!” said Ruby before Chika blows the whistle to start the second activity. The three groups would try to find the flags that are hanged in a pole. The stakes have been higher when the three groups have tracked down the first one separately. Later, Team Ruby had been able to grab the flags quicker than the other groups before reaching the last flag, which is near the tree. Team Ruby would be able to get back to the entrance of Jūsenman Inn, so that they’ll give the five flas to Chika.

“We have a winner for the second activity! It’s Team Ruby getting all five flags! Great job in finding all of them!” said Chika.

“Thanks, Chika-chan!” said Shōjirō, Mariko, Hikaru, Sayuri, Mafuyu, Azusa and Sakiko.

“Nice job, everyone! Just keep it up and don’t disappoint me!” said Ruby.

“Yeah, we will!” said Shōjirō, Mariko, Hikaru, Sayuri, Mafuyu, Azusa and Sakiko.

“Come on, girls! We still have more activities to win!” said Itsuki.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Mutsu, Yoshimi, Masami, Kirara, Mako and Akira.

“We should not disappoint Yō-san, guys! We have to show our teamwork the better that we have than the other two groups! Are you with me?” said Haruka.

“Yeah!” said Noa, Miyako, Moeka, Hiroe and Ichika.

The montage continues with the next set of activities being made as the three groups have been competing for the best prize. The third activity would be a drawing competition where each group had to make an art that represents CYaRon!, which is won by Team Yō. The next activity becomes even harder as it would be the stop dance activity. They have to dance with excitement before they have to stop to make a posture not to move a muscle. This one would be won by Team Chika because Yoshimi was able to survive this at all costs after Itsuki and Mutsu were out early.

The fifth activity would be a baking activity where they must make a delicious cake with fruits. Team Yō and Team Ruby were able to make beautiful cakes with the former using apple and lemon while the latter using gratefuit, cherry and persimmon. Team Chika was able to make the cake with citrus fruits. When Riko, Yoshiko and Hanamaru are judging the cakes, they make comments on the taste.

Riko gets a piece of cake being made by Team Chika to eat it before commenting the taste. “It was very juicy to eat this and I like the flavor because they were made of citrus fruits. I’m satisfying this one, guys.” This make Itsuki and her fellow groupmates feel delighted after hearing Riko’s comments.

Yoshiko would be the next person to taste a cake as this time, she chooses Team Yō’s cake. After eating a piece of it, she comments on the taste of that cake. “Judging by my observation, I think that this cake was really beautiful because I like the designs that you made. It makes me thrilled to eat this!” Haruka and her groupmates were surprised that Yoshiko liked their cake.

And finally, Hanamaru gets the impression of the cake being made by Team Ruby as she had eaten a piece of it. “Oh! It’s so delicious, zura! I never expect that you made this cake that attracts me so good! I can’t wait to eat those, zura!” Shōjirō and his groupmates are happy to see Hanamaru impressing a comment on their cake.

By the end of the judging, Riko, Yoshiko and Hanamaru would declare the winner of the fifth activity. Riko would be the one to announce as she was always liking the cakes that she ate. “And so, the winner of the fifth activity goes both Team Chika and Team Ruby!”

“What?!” shouted the close friends of Chika, Yō and Ruby.

“But how are you going to add that score?!” exclaimed Itsuki.

“I mean, both us and their group were winners, but how will sort it out?” queried Shōjirō.

“Well, I’m going to share the points for both teams since you guys have won the fifth activity. And so, both teams will get 40 points each” said Riko.

“Which means that Team Chika is still leading ahead of Team Ruby and Team Yō” said Yoshiko.

“It’s getting close with Team Chika getting 70 points, compared to the other two groups. Team Ruby has 55 points while Team Yō has 15 points. What a disappointment for Team Yō though” said Hanamaru.

“I agree, Hanamaru-chan, but there will be two more activities to finish this up” said Yō.

“Hopefully, the next one would be getting interesting” said Chika.

“So, get ready for this!” said Ruby.

“Yeah!” said the close friends of Chika, Yō and Ruby, which leads to the sixth activity known as the Longest Line. The goal is to use any object that creates the longest line, but they should not use their clothes. This one would come down to Team Yō and Team Ruby as they compete for longest line. While Shōjirō uses all of his stuff from his bag, Team Yō was able to snatch the victory for themselves to receive 30 points, thus increasing their points to 45.

The final activity would take place at the living room where they’ll be doing a karaoke competition to determine the winner of the competition between the three groups. Team Chika chooses Itsuki because she’s very deterimed to make Chika proud; Team Yō chooses Haruka because she had been compassionated enough to represent for Yō; and Team Ruby chooses Mariko because she had a beautiful voice to sing and she had impressed Ruby’s performance when she’s on stage.

“Each member had to perform a song through the karaoke and the goal is to impress the judges with a good score” said Chika.

“Which means that any one of you will become the winner of this activity with a score of 50 points and this will tally up to the final result of the competition where we will crown the winner” said Yō.

“So, may the best girl win” said Ruby.

“Okay, girls!” said Itsuki, Haruka and Mariko.

Once the final activity commences, each girl had to sing a song that is performed by Aqours, composed of Anju Inami, Rikako Aida, Nanaka Suwa, Arisa Komiya, Shuka Saitō, Aika Kobayashi, Kanako Takatsuki, Aina Suzuki and Ai Furihata. Itsuki will the song 「青空Jumping Heart」, Haruka will sing the song 「MIRAI TICKET」 and Mariko will sing the song 「ユメ語るよりユメ歌おう」. All those songs were from the first season of Love Live! Sunshine!! When they sing the songs that were chosen by Chika, Yō and Ruby, the judges, composed of Riko, Yoshiko and Hanamaru, are observing the three, based on their performance. After that, they’ll make comments on the performances of the three.

“Let’s see what the judges have to say about Itsuki’s performance” said Chika.

“I like her voice when she’s singing thorugh her heart. It reminds me of Chika-chan because Itsuki had impressed Chika’s performance when our group had performed to make the audience going wild. I’m very happy to see her performing like she’s aiming to become a school idol one day” said Riko.

“I’m very gratified to see her performing a song for us and it was not that bad at all because she knows the lines to make it right. I’m not going to thumbs down on it because I’m happy to see you doing well” said Yoshiko.

“When I see your voice, it was so amazing to see that kind of voice like an angel. I’m surprised that you have impressed us with your action and smile. I’m liking that smile, by the way, because it makes me proud to see you perform, zura!” said Hanamaru.

“Yeah, that’s right, Hanamaru-chan! I’m aiming it like the way Chika-chan do. So, it’s going to be a challenge for me to impress her” said Itsuki.

“Wow! That’s very nice!” said Riko.

“I love it, Itsuki!” said Yoshiko.

“You’re doing great to make Chika-chan proud, zura!” said Hanamaru.

“Thanks, girls!” said Itsuki.

“Well, I’m thanking you too, Itsuki-chan!” said Chika.

“Now, let’s move on to the next one! Judges, any comments on Haruka’s performance?” said Yō.

“Well, she had acted graciously when she is singing in front of us. I mean, she’s very elegant to hear her voice like me. I’m pretty sure that you had the same level as Itsuki’s” said Riko.

“I’m very satisfied with your performance, Haruka. I didn’t know that you’re going to perform bad, but I was relieved to see you catching up to make it right. You aren’t ashamed of yourself though because I found your courage to see you performing like it’s your first time to do” said Yoshiko.

“I like your skills when you’re singing one of our songs, but I’m also liking the fact that you’re amazing with your poses and making your friends jamming. I’m happy to see that because that makes you satified! Hopefully, you’ll do anything to keep up the good work, zura!” said Hanamaru.

“Uh… yeah, I will, Hanamaru” said Haruka, which makes Hanamaru smiling on her face to her.

“Thank you, Haruka-chan! Wow! She’s looking confident that she’s gonna win this competition!” said Yō.

“Yeah, I believe that she would, but this competition is not done yet. It’s time to hear the comments on the last performer, Mariko!” said Ruby.

“It was so cute that Mariko had been dazzling her way to perform like Ruby-chan. I’m very impressed with her pose because she’s typically a good performer to show her pride and cuteness” said Riko.

“I like that too, Riri! I’m very glad to see her perform to be like Ruby and I know that she had been impressing her because not only she sees her being a good school idol, but she wants to perform like the way she had” said Yoshiko.

“You said it, Yohane-san! I’m liking her performance because I’m so surprised that she has the skills to show her pride and courage to please us, especially to Ruby. If I were her, she would step up to sing and dance with her heart, zura” said Hanamaru.

“Yeah, that’s true. I’m very delighted that I want to perform to impress everyone because I like the way you performed in front of the audience when you paid them off. I’m really assured that I’ll be ready to make everyone, especially to Ruby, proud!” said Mariko.

“Well, I agree with you!” said Riko.

“Now that’s what I call it good motivation!” said Yoshiko.

“You’re going to make it, zura!” said Hanamaru.

“Yeah!” said Mariko.

“I’m happy for you, Mariko-chan! Thank you very much!” said Ruby.

Later, the awarding ceremony would commence as Chika, Yō, Ruby, Riko, Yoshiko and Hanamaru are standing in front of the three groups to announce the winners of the finaly activity and the entire competition.

“Now, I would like to announce that today will finally determine the winner of the final activity of our Appreciation Day” said Chika.

“Who’s going to be, everyone?” asked Yō as the three groups are getting intense to wait for Chika to determine the winner of the final activity. Chika would open the envelope to announce the winner of the final activity of CYaRon!’s Appreciation Day.

“And with the final score of 97, the winner of the karaoke competition goes to…” said Chika while the dramatic scene shows everyone getting excited to find out who will win the competition. Chika announces the name of the winner of the karaoke competition. “…Itsuki Yamashiro of Team Chika!”

Itsuki and her fellow groupmates have been celebrarted in joy as they have won the competition between the three groups after Itsuki had won the karaoke competition.

“So, that means, the winner of today’s competition goes to Team Chika!” said Chika.

“Congratulations to them! Let’s give them a round of applause!” said Yō and Ruby as everyone would clap their hands to congratulate Itsuki and her fellow groupmates from Team Chika.

“Great competition, Itsuki and friends!” said Haruka while shaking hands with Itsuki.

“It was a back-and-forth battle for all of us” said Shōjirō.

“You’re really looked good to make your friend proud!” said Mariko.

“Yeah, I agree, Mariko-chan. Thank you very much” said Itsuki as she shakes hands with Mariko. Haruka and Shōjirō are feeling proud of see the sign of sportsmanship between Itsuki and Mariko.

“Here are is your prize, Itsuki and friends!” said Riko while Yoshiko gives the special prize to the close friends of Chika.

“What is this?” asked Itsuki.

“Open up!” said Yoshiko and Hanamaru.

“Okay!” said Itsuki as she unwraps the special prize as it was revealed to be a small trophy that says ‘Best Group of the Day’. “Wow! I’m loving this! It was so honored that we’re the best group!”

“Yes, we are, Itsuki-chan!” said Mutsu, Yoshimi, Masami, Kirara, Mako and Akira.

“Let’s take a picture of this!” said Itsuki.

“Okay!” said Mutsu, Yoshimi, Masami, Kirara, Mako and Akira as Itsuki pulls her phone from her pocket to take a picture of her and her friends holding a trophy.

“Say ‘cheese’!” said Itsuki.

“Cheese!” said Mutsu, Yoshimi, Masami, Kirara, Mako and Akira before Itsuki clicking the camera button to capture their picture.

“I’m so proud that your friends have won the competition for being the best group!” said Riko.

“Yeah, Itsuki had been very close to me because she’s always making me confident to get along with me back when we were in Uranohshi. But to be honest, I’m very gratified that she and her fellow friends will continue to follow me whenever I had gotten along with you and Yō” said Chika.

“Yeah, I agree with that, Chika-chan!” said Riko.

“I believe that they’re going to get along with us anytime when we go out. They won’t be forgotten if you’re the one organizing a nice and fun activity!” said Yō.

“Of course, they will do that to make sure that they’ll stick together with me!” said Chika.

“Yeah!” said Riko and Yō.

“It’s nice that Itsuki and her friends are working together as a team to make sure that they feel unstoppable” said Ruby.

“Nothing will beat their surprise if they are coming out to be with us when we go out” said Yoshiko.

“Ever since most of us in Shizūma, we’ll have a lot of expectations to make our lives getting better with brighter future on our hands, zura” said Hanamaru.

“You got it, Hanamaru-chan!” said Chika before joining with Yō and Ruby as they shout together in unison. “Now, let’s cap off this Appreciation Day with a party!”

“Yeah!” said Riko, Yoshiko, Hanamaru and the close friends of Chika, Yō and Ruby. CYaRon!’s Appreciation Day was a success with everyone getting involved in participating different activities that makes everyone have fun to get along with the members of CYaRon!, composed of Chika, Yō and Ruby. As their relationship with their friends continue to develop, Chika, Yō and Ruby are very gratified that they’ll continue making their friends happy and give them the smile that they want as CYaRon! will never give up to make sure that they’ll stay cute as they are in Uranohoshi.

I already posted the profile of the close friends of Ruby Kurosawa (CV: Ai Furihata) in the ninth chapter of Emiri and the Bravehearts of Toyohashi”: “Gems and Arrows”, which means that I don’t need to re-post it because you already saw them in today’s update, "Cheer, Shine and Smile for CYaRon's! Appreciation Day!".;) However, I will give you the profile of the friends of two remaining members of CYaRon!, Chika Takami (CV: Anju Inami) and Yō Watanabe (CV: Shuka Saitō). If you look at their profile, you already recognized Itsuki (CV: Hisako Kanemoto), Mutsu (CV: Yū Serizawa) and Yoshimi (CV: Risae Matsuda) from Love Live! Sunshine!! as they were the classmates of Chika back in the Uranohoshi Girls’ High School and now, they are still classmates of Chika, this time in the Shizuma High School, located in Numazu, after the events of Love Live! Sunshine!! The School Idol Movie Over the Rainbow. Of course, I decided to give them their surnames, so that they will be recognized in this series because they didn’t show their surnames in the anime.

A Post-Chapter Postscript Message from Ruby Kurosawa

Hi, everyone! This is Ruby Kurosawa of Aqours and I would like to thank everyone for reading this update where me and my fellow groupmates Chika and Yō as our sub-group CYaRon! had organized our own appreciation day, so that every friend of us is invited to have fun with us! We made some fantastic games for them to see which friend group proves better and it almost seems that Shōjirō Nagayama, Mariko Tsujihara and my other friends have almost won the points system, but they got fell to Mutsu’s team. It feels great to see my friends getting their participation going well to make sure that they want to show some admiration to me. That makes me shout “Ganbaruby!” to them because I always like to see their pride and compassion for me because they’re my friends! Being a member of CYaRon! was a good thing for me to show my cuteness to my fans on my side and of course, Chika, Yō and I have been a great job in entertaining our friends to make sure that they’ll please us with their smile. Oh, I’m sure that you want us to be cuter than anyone because that’s what we do to shine together! Well, we hope that we’re going to organize another amazing activity to be hosted by us and it’s going to be fun to do that for sure! That’s it for me and I hope that you’ll be thrilled to see me smile when I had performed for Aqours and CYaRon! because you’re all here to shine with me and I like it! I’ll see you on my next appearance and keep me and Aqours shine, everyone!
- Ruby Kurosawa (CV. Ai Furihata)

UP NEXT: Red Section-Chapter 17: “Good Times with Naoto’s Schoolmates in the Sentō”

One thing that I forgot to mention before I’ll wrap this up is that I have changed the title of today’s update from “Ruby’s Close Friends Have Shined Out for CYaRon!’s Appreciation Day” to “Cheer, Shine and Smile for CYaRon!’s Appreciation Day” because not only Ruby’s close friends have participated in CYaRon!’s Appreciation Day, but also Chika and Yō’s close friends will be there to participate as well!:D I didn’t know that this update was supposedly focused on Ruby’s close friends, but instead I want the title to be changed at last minute before I posted it immediately, so that this update will be more shining as it should be!;) Of course, you should appreciate CYaRon! for making their Appreciation Day because it’s their time to cheer, shine and smile with their close friends for sure!:)

Despite losing the overall competition that was won by Chika’s close friends, Mariko, Shōjirō and the other close friends of Ruby have kept their prestigiousness to represent for Ruby as they have shown their pride and compassion in making Ruby more gratified. I’m feeling motivated that I want the friendly competition between the three groups to be fun because they have participated in different activities to prove who the best team of close friends is. I’m sure that the close friends of Ruby will continue to represent for Ruby because they will be happy to hang out for her since they have supported her school idol career. I know that this one is very special to me because this will be a belated birthday update for Ai because I’m currently posting this update two days after Ai’s birthday. So, I hope that I will keep watching out for her because I’ll feeling uplifted to see her voice acting and music career going harmonious and prestigious for sure!;) Good luck and belated happy birthday, Ai!:) The next update will be finally heading back to Ōta because this will be focused on Naoto Kuno and his group, the Red Arrows of Kugahara, where they’ll be meeting with the classmates of Naoto at the sentō. I’m sure that you have seen Naoto and his group before in Volume 8 and now, they’ll have their own update to present!;) So, I’ll see you on February 24 (Wednesday) for the next update of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts!

Tomorrow (February 25) will be the birthday of Chisato Arashi from Love Live! Superstar!! as this will be the first time that her birthday will be celebrated since the announcement of that series will have its anime adaption this year. Chisato is a first year high school student from the Yuigaoka Girls High School and the childhood friend of Kanon Shibuya (CV: Sayuri Date). She likes dancing but decides to become a school idol instead. She is distinguishable from her twin tail and hair buns and had a part time job in a takoyaki shop. Chisato is voiced by Nako Misaki, whose birthday will be on March 8 (Monday). Advanced happy birthday, Chisato!:) And before you’ll read this update, this one will be dedicated to both Mai Nakahara and Kana Hanazawa. Mai’s birthday was yesterday (February 23) while Kana’s birthday will be tomorrow (February 25). Mai was from Akashi, Hyōgo and had been a voice actress and singer for 20 years. She was known as the voice actress of Rena Ryūgū (Higurashi When They Cry), Nagisa Furukawa (Clannad), Juvia Lockser (Fairy Tail), Selenia Iori Flameheart (Ladies versus Butlers), Teru Miyanaga (Saki), Haruno Yukinoshita (My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU), Nina Adelard (Srtrike the Blood), Suzune Ichihara (The Irregular at Magic High School), Winona (High School Prodigies Have It Easy Even in Another World) and Shokuchuu (Super HxEros). While on the other hand, coming out from Tokyo, Kana is the voice actress of Tomoka Minato (Ro-Kyu-Bu!), Kōme Ogi (Angel’s 3Piece!), Eri Mizuani (THE IDOLM@STER), Ichika Nakano (The Quintessential Quintuplets) and Mama Hanasaki (Uchitama?! Have you seen my Tama?). During the airing of Uchitama?! Have you seen my Tama?, Kana had been married to fellow voice actor Kenshō Ōno, the voice actor of Pochi Yamada from that anime and Tetsuya Kuroko from Kuroko’s Basketball. I’m so surprised about this because both seiyus have been appeared in sporting anime releases separately as Kana appeared in Ro-Kyu-Bu! as the leading female heroine while Kenshō appeared in Kuroko’s Basketball as the main leading voice actor alongside Daisuke Ono, the voice actor of Taiga Kagami.;) I hope that both Mai and Kana are going to continue making progress of their voice acting and music careers as they have prospered their way to make themselves blessed for sure. Belated happy birthday, Mai, and advanced happy birthday, Kana!:) Now, it’s time to continue rolling the Red Section Series as it’s time to fly back to Tokyo for a brand-new update of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts!

Today’s update will be a relaxing and blissful one as it will be focused on one of the members of the Rainbow Angels, the extended group of the Family of Angels, in the Red Arrows of Kugahara, led by Naoto Kuno, as they are heading to a local sentō for a break after taking their archery lessons in the Nakazawa Dojo when they would be confronted by the classmates of Naoto. They will be talking about their plans to propose a sleepover party that will be organized by Naoto. However, the group will be divided into two groups where they will take their shower in their separate rooms. And because they have been separated into two rooms, there will be two scenes, (the one for the boys and the other for the girls) and of course, they will have to meet each other right after finishing their shower respectively. So, if you’re ready with this, then I bring you the seventeenth side chapter of the Red Section Series with the title, “Good Times with Naoto’s Schoolmates in the Sentō”! Enjoy reading the seventeenth side chapter of the Red Section Series!:)

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES
CHAPTER 17: “GOOD TIMES WITH NAOTO’S SCHOOLMATES IN THE SENTŌ

Date: May 11, 2010 (Tuesday)

This side chapter is focused on the Red Arrows of Kugahara as they are having a relaxing bath in a sentō after they finished their archery lessons in the Nakazawa Dojo, located in Kugahara.

The members of the Red Arrows of Kugahara are doing their achery sessions in the Nakazawa Dojo where they have to work on improving their skills, so that they’ll be good enough to become archers one day. Naoto was able to make the bulls-eye three times, which impresses his sensei Ichirō Nakazawa. The other members have also made good scores; thus, they were satisfied on the scores that they have.

Once the archery lessons were finished, the members of the Red Arrows of Kugahara are packing their stuff up and heading to the sentō to take their baths in separate rooms. Naoto, Shinsuke, Michiya, Hiroki, Kentarō, Masao, Takuya, Kyoya, Haruhiro, Shūichi and Jutaro are staying in the men’s room while Nami, Sayuri, Sana, Moe, Mayumi, Miyako and Tsubaki are staying in the women’s room.

At the boys’ room, the boys of the Red Arrows of Kugahara are feeling relaxed after the training.

Boys of the Red Arrows of Kugahara: Naoto Kuno, Shinsuke Takamiya, Michiya Okanishi, Hiroki Kanematsu, Kentarō Aonuma, Masao Yanagida, Takuya Maekawa, Kyoya Sawada, Haruhiro Hiroi, Shūichi Sawajiri and Jutaro Tsutsui

“Whoo-whee! I can’t wait to see what Sensei Nakazawa will teach us the next time we meet him!” said Shinsuke Takamiya.

“Yeah, Shinsuke-kun! I’m feeling delighted that I have hit three bulls-eyes during the quick play. I’m so great that I want to do archery at sometime if I’m not busy with my schoolwork” said Naoto.

“Well, you said it, Naoto-kun. It seems that everyone in our group had been doing great in today’s training. Hopefully, we would be able make us prepared for the competitions to come” said Michiya Okanishi.

“Yep!” said Naoto.

“So, what are you thinking about earlier?” asked Hiroki Kanematsu.

“Oh, you mean, my friends in my section are going to visit your home this weekend?” queried Naoto.

“Yeah! Your classmates are interested to join your sleepover party!” said Hiroki.

“Ah, of course! They were so excited that they want to be part of my sleepover party because they like to do some fun with the activities like boardgames, ‘Truth or Dare’ and so on” said Naoto.

“I believe that they’ll be loved to be with you since they were classmates of yours” said Kentarō Aonuma.

“And they don’t want to get missed out because they’re always excited for activities like this” said Masao Yanagida.

“Yeah, I agree. I called them earlier before our achery session started and they’ll be happy to hang out with us right now” said Naoto.

“Oh, you mean, they’re gonna be here?” queried Shinsuke.

“Yes, they are!” said Naoto before hearing the door being opened as some guys have entered to the boys’ room to say ‘hello’ to Naoto. They were Shinichiro Kuroki, Isao Sendō, Nobuteru Ebusizawa, Kōhei Takeya and Hideki Natsukawa.

“Naoto!” shouted Shinichiro.

“Thank goodness that you’re here!” said Isao.

“Wow! I can’t believe that this place is cool!” said Nobuteru.

“You take a bath here?” asked Kōhei.

“Yep! Everytime when our archery sessions were done, we decided to take a bath right here to refresh ourselves to be good” said Naoto.

“Haven’t you visited this place for yourself?” asked Shinsuke.

“Uh, no, we aren’t” said Shinichiro while Isao, Nobuteru, Kōhei and Hideki shake their heads, saying that they haven’t visited that place before.

“Well, this is the great place to relax, boys! Everyone in Kugahara had to relax to make their bodies refreshed and clean” said Naoto.

“Hopefully, you’ll give it a try” said Shinsuke.

“Okay!” said Shinichiro, Isao, Nobuteru, Kōhei and Hideki are joining with Naoto and his boys.

“So, where are the rest?” asked Michiya.

“The girls are in the onna because they aren’t allowed to visit this room” said Shinichiro.

“Ah, okay. I think that this room is for boys only” said Michiya.

“Yeah, we agree” said Shinichiro and Isao while Nobuteru, Kōhei and Hideki nod their heads in agreement.

“Now that we’re all here, why don’t you guys take a shower for a bit before we’re going to talk about the plans for our sleepover party” said Naoto.

“Okay!” said Shinichiro, Isao, Nobuteru, Kōhei and Hideki. The boys would take their shower first, so that they’ll make themselves refreshed and clean.

Meanwhile, in the girls’ room known as the onna, Nami, Sayuri, Sana, Moe, Mayumi, Miyako and Tsubaki are taking a bath with Aya Fujinami, Sakiko Yasuda, Hidemi Akatsuki, Hinata Nakaima and Chidori Takebe. They were all naked when they take their bath together.

Girls of the Red Arrows of Kugahara: Nami Koezuka, Sayuri Morishige, Sana Aida, Moe Nakazawa, Mayumi Nagakura, Miyako Nagakura and Tsubaki Hinouchi

“So, how did you know that place?” asked Nami Koezuka.

“Well, when they talked with each other through a phone call, Naoto told Shinichiro the directions of how to get to this place and we were able to know it. That’s why we’re here” said Aya Fujinami.

“Good thing that we were all done with the club duties before we enter this place” said Sakiko Yasuda.

“That’s good. I’m sure that you will have time to relax to make sure that everyone will be all good to go” said Nami.

“Yeah!” said Aya, Sakiko, Hidemi, Hinata and Chidori.

“How did you know that you were friends with Naoto-kun, girls?” asked Miyako Nagakura.

“Uh… we were classmates with him in his section” said Aya.

“He used to hang out with us during lunch time and he had been sharing with us about books because he’s a book lover” said Sakiko.

“We all know that he had been interested of light novels and manga that are focused on action and thriller. He was very serious when it comes to reading them” said Hidemi Akatsuki.

“Sometimes, he likes historical manga that inspires him to become an archer” said Hinata Nakaima.

“Just like you girls did!” said Chidori Takebe.

“Of course, we were! We did some archery lessons twice a week and it was so fun!” said Nami.

“Some of us have been interested to be part of the archery team in our school because we’re skilled to make the shot and we’re rallying it with our own power” said Sayuri Morishige.

“Doing archery was a great way to make our strength doing good and it’s more fun to do it whatever we want” said Sana Aida.

“We’ll make sure that one day, many of us will be active in archery competitions, especially in local competitions out there” said Moe Nakazawa.

“Well, I’m not into that sport, girls, but we would love to get it a try” said Aya.

“Yeah! I didn’t expect that you play that sport that pressures you. I’m into those pressured activities if I want to do it for myself” said Sakiko.

“To be honest, it’s nice that you have learn to shoot the arrow to make a good score, but it’s very important that you have the strength that you need to fill in and if you have the guts to make a bulls-eye, you have to think harder before you do it” said Hidemi.

“Of course not! We’re very good to make our shots skyrocket to score a perfect ten!” said Nami.

“We’re always ready to be fierce, but we’re very confident that we’re going to make it. Right, girls?” said Sayuri.

“Yeah!” said the girls of the Red Arrows of Kugahara.

“I’ll tell you what, girls! The five of us may be interested in your sport, but can you teach us to play archery?” said Aya.

“Sure! I would be glad to!” said Nami.

“You can count on us to make your life a better change!” said Sayuri.

“Alright! I’m sure that you’re going to learn anything from your sensei” said Aya.

“That way, we’ll give it a try to fire it up!” said Sakiko.

“Okay!” said the girls of the Red Arrows of Kugahara.

Back at the boys’ room, the boys are talking about the plans for Saturday’s sleepover party at Naoto’s home.

“What we’re going to do in the sleepover party is that we’re going to bring some food to eat and then, some cool gadgets to play!” said Naoto.

“And then, we’ll share a lot of things about our lives!” said Shinsuke.

“Oh, this one is going to be great!” said Shinichiro.

“I’m going to like this one!” said Isao.

“But we should make it better!” said Nobuteru.

“What do you mean ‘better’, Nobuteru-kun?” asked Naoto.

“I mean, we’re going to do some karaoke singing stuff and then, we’ll play a movie!” said Nobuteru.

“Plus, we want to read your books! That’s going to be awesome!” said Kōhei.

“Well, I supposed that my books are free for everyone, but for this sleepover activity, I’m not gonna let you borrow those” said Naoto.

“What?!” shouted Kōhei.

“You’re not going to let us borrow your books?” asked Hideki.

“Of course not! I’m not going to borrow some of my books to you because those are my valuable ones that I used to when I was a kid. If you guys want to brrow my books, then you have to ask me a permission to read this” said Naoto.

“Ah, okay. Oh, I hope that I can read one” said Kōhei.

“Yeah, me too” said Hideki.

“Then, I’m going to think about it for a while” said Naoto.

“Okay” said Kōhei and Hideki.

“Plus, on the bright side, threre are a lot of activities that we need to play it out!” said Michiya.

“Like charades” said Hiroki.

“And pillow fights” said Kentarō.

“We could also use our very own imagination to make it something that will shocky you!” said Masao.

“Oh! I like that one, boy! We should pretend to be soldiers fighting against the aliens from the outer space” said Shinichiro.

“Or we will pretend that we’re wild animals who were lurking in the shadows like a ninja” said Isao.

“It’s a ninja animal!” said Nobuteru, which makes everyone laugh at what Nobuteru said.

“Well, I’m exactly interested on those ideas, boys! I’m not very sure if the girls would do the same thing, but we can’t make competitions out there” said Naoto.

“Yeah, we agree” said the boys of the Red Arrows of Kugahara and the male classmates of Naoto from his class.

“Then, how about this? We could make our own story. That will make it amazing!” said Takuya Maekawa.

“Yeah, we sure can!” said Shinichiro.

“This one could be in the books if we were able to have a good story” said Michiya.

“That will make the readers getting surprised on what we have!” said Hiroki.

“I hope so, boys, but I’m not into writing books because I’m not interested in becoming an author. However, short stories are fine with me though” said Naoto.

“I see that point, Naoto-kun” said Michiya.

“Well, that can’t go wrong if you’re aiming to become an author someday” said Hiroki.

“Yeah” said Naoto.

“I’m so excited that we’re going to have this sleepover party the best that we will never forget!” said Shinichiro.

“Oh, I’m hyped to see this!” said Isao.

“Hopefully, that one will be the best activity that we ever had!” said Nobuteru.

“Better than the summer camp that we have participated last year” said Kōhei.

“With everyone trying to prove themselves that we’re wild and fierce” said Hideki.

“Yeah, I agree, boys” said Naoto.

“Let’s hope that we can share those to the girls” said Masao.

“They will probably gonna love this one” said Takuya.

“Yeah, I hope so. I wonder what they’re planning for our sleepover party” said Naoto. The other boys have been thinking about this as the scene goes back to the girls’ room to see the girls of the Red Arrows of Kugahara teaching the female classmates of Naoto from his class about archery.

“Oh, I get it! I have to be quick in aiming for the right shot to go. That one may be good enough to show everyone you’re good at this one!” said Aya.

“Yep! That’s why everyone has the skills in becoming a good archer some day like us!” said Nami.

“Hopefully, you’re going to get used to it to make sure that you won’t get a bad score” said Sayuri.

“Yeah, we agree” said Aya, Sakiko, Hidemi, Hinata and Chidori.

“Right now, we’re all part of the archery team in our school as apprentices, but any of us will end up going to the main team” said Mayumi Nagakura.

“That is, if we’re very good enough to show who the best archers are” said Miyako.

“Well, I’m ready to prove the ground that we’re gonna be part of that team!” said Aya.

“Yeah, me too! I’m going to be a member of the main team for sure!” said Sakiko.

“It’s going to be better that we can make the differenece for sure!” said Hidemi.

“We’ll make sure that we have the shots to do it all and make a perfect aim to score a 10!” said Hinata.

“We could be like you, girls!” said Chidori.

“Yeah, we agree on that!” said Nami, Sayuri, Sana, Moe, Mayumi, Miyako and Tsubaki.

“Anyway, we should talk about what the plans for the sleepover party this coming Satuday” said Nami.

“Okay!” said Aya, Sakiko, Hidemi, Hinata and Chidori.

“So, what should we do for that activity is that we’re going to share about our hobbies and interests” said Nami.

“Then, we’re going to play some video games on our phones!” said Sayuri.

“Well, I’m not interested in playing video games” said Aya.

“Yeah, me neither” said Sakiko.

“We were only interested in reading books” said Hidemi.

“Like light novels and manga” said Hinata.

“Those are full of stories that you’re going to see” said Chidori.

“Ah, I get that point, girls. Then, we’re going to ask Naoto to borrow his books for you” said Nami.

“That way, you’ll have some time to read them” said Sayuri

“Yeah, I would be glad to!” said Aya.

“Sure, we can!” said Sakiko.

“I’m loving it!” said Hidemi.

“We should do that!” said Hinata and Chidori.

“Then, for other activities, we can do a game of the Warmest Color” said Sana.

“Or a tea party” said Moe.

“Wait a minute, girls. Did you say the Warmest Color?” said Aya.

“Yep! It is a game where you have to bring the warmest-colored card to win that game. It’s easy that you need to get the warmest color” said Sana.

“There were a lot of activities that you have in the Warmest Color such as the ‘Odd One Out’ Challenge” said Sana.

“The Pyramid Color Challenge where you must find all colored cards from one way to another until you reach the warmest color” said Moe.

“Or we can do the Memory Challenge where everyone must find a pair of colored cards that have the same color. Is it easy, right?” said Mayumi.

“Yeah!” said Aya, Sakiko, Hidemi, Hinata and Chidori.

“There’s so many activities that you can play with the Warmest Color cards and it won’t be easy to win it all” said Miyako.

“I’m down with that!” said Aya.

“Yeah, me too!” said Sakiko, Hidemi, Hinata and Chidori.

“Then, let’s play with those together!” said Sayuri.

“Yeah!” said Aya, Sakiko, Hidemi, Hinata and Chidori.

“I was also thinking about the karaoke challenge where everyone must pick their song to sing and whoever gets the lowest scores gets out of the game” said Tsubaki Hinouchi.

“Ah, this one would be a piece of cake! I should perform well to get a high score!” said Hidemi.

“Oh, I wanna join to that activity too!” said Hinata.

“It’s going to be a serious competition out there with the others if they have the guts to get a good score” said Chidori.

“Yes, indeed, Chidori-san. Naoto said that everyone gets involved to see who’s the best and this activity that I have made may be challenging” said Nami.

“So, you better get ready for that challenge!” said Sayuri.

“Okay!” said Aya, Sakiko, Hidemi, Hinata and Chidori.

“And last but not the least, we have to bring some food to eat. That way, we can eat those together before the start of the sleepover” said Sana.

“That’s right, Sana-san! You have either buy your own food or make one” said Mayumi.

“It depends on what you’re gonna plan on” said Moe.

“Ah, okay, we get that. We’ll do any of these choices by ourselves. Right, girls?” said Aya.

“Yeah!” said Sakiko, Hidemi, Hinata and Chidori.

“Oh, that reminds me, Naoto also said to us one day that he will buy a large size of pizza for the sleepover party” said Nami.

“Really? Is he going to buy it?” asked Aya.

“Yep! He thinks of an activity where one must eat a slice of pizza without holding your hands” said Nami.

“Oh, wow! That’s going to be a tough one!” said Aya.

“I think that we have to chew the piece of pizza with our own mouth, I think” said Sakiko.

“Yep!” said Nami.

“Well, I’m interested on this!” said Aya.

“You can count on me joining that activity!” said Sakiko.

“Eating a piece of pizza without holding your hands would be a tough one to make, but we got this!” said Hidemi.

“Yeah, we should!” said Hinata and Chidori.

“Okay! Then, get ready when Naoto-kun had bought the pizza!” said Nami.

“Yeah!” said Aya, Sakiko, Hidemi, Hinata and Chidori.

“I guess that we should all get out of the onna to dress up and leave the sentō together. What do you say?” said Nami.

“Yeah!” said the girls of the Red Arrows of Kugahara and the female classmates of Naoto from his class.

Nami and the girls have dressed up with their clothes after finishing their batch before leaving the girls’ room to see Naoto and the boys being waiting for them.

“Oh! Naoto-kun! You got to be kidding me!” said Nami.

“Looks like you’re all refreshed, Nami-san and the girls! We also finished taking our baths after we talked about the plans for our sleepover party” said Naoto.

“Oh, we also have that too!” said Nami.

“WHAT?!” shouted Naoto and his boys.

“You also have plans for the sleepover party too?!” shouted Naoto.

“Yep! We want to make sure that our sleepover party going to be beautiful as it would be” said Nami.

“Well, we have our plans too that are going to be interesting, but do you think we can merge our ideas to form a big one together?” queried Naoto.

“Of course, Naoto-kun! Let’s sort this out right away!” said Nami.

“Okay!” said Naoto as he and Nami are going to finalize the plans for the sleepover activity that will take place on Saturday. Then, a few minutes later, and with the help of their groupmates, they explain the activities that will happen for that activity.

“Well, I like that one!” said Shincihiro.

“Yeah, me too! I’m going to say that we should go for that!” said Aya.

“I agree with them!” said Isao.

“We’re going to have a best sleepover party ever!” said Sakiko.

“You said it!” said Naoto and Nami as they smile on their faces to agree with Sakiko.

“I can’t wait that his classmates are going to come with us for a fun weekend!” said Shinsuke.

“Yeah, now that the plans have been settled, we’re going to prepare anything to make this party going to be the best we ever had!” said Michiya.

“I’m expecting to see those guys bringing their food and stuff to prepare, so that we’ll be ready to get this show on the road” said Sayuri.

“Everyone know that this sleepover activity will be making us relaxed” said Mayumi.

“And harmonious” said Miyako.

“Hopefully, we’re going to have so much fun to do anything possible for this to be a successful activity!” said Hiroki.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Naoto and Nami.

“But we have to focus first on our studies before we’ll be preparing for that activity because we can’t have that party until we’re doing well to pass the schoolwork for sure” said Naoto.

“When we’re done with those, it’s sleepover time!” said Nami.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Red Arrows of Kugahara.

“Now, let’s leave the sentō together!” said Naoto and Nami.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Red Arrows of Kugahara and the classmates of Naoto from his class as they are now leaving the sentō together before parting ways. The Red Arrows of Kugahara are now contemplating their plans on their group’s sleepover party with their plans being showed up to the classmates of Naoto from his class. It looks like they’re looking prepared for their sleepover activity with the classmates of Naoto from his class and they’re going to wait for the excitement to come until Saturday, so that they’ll have fun getting together to a party that will never forget.

UP NEXT: Profile of the Classmates of Naoto Kuno
 
The next profile of the characters of the Red Section Series that I’ll be posting right now will be composed of the classmates of Naoto Kuno, the leader of the Red Arrows of Kugahara. They were all first year high school students from the Kugahara High School and have been invited by Naoto to stay at his home at occasional time like school projects and birthday parties. The closest classmate of Naoto is none other than Shinichiro Kuroki because he had always talked with him when they were in the same section, thus they were considered buddies.

Classmates of Naoto Kuno: Shinichiro Kuroki, Isao Sendō, Nobuteru Ebusizawa, Kōhei Takeya, Hideki Natsukawa, Aya Fujinami, Sakiko Yasuda, Hidemi Akatsuki, Hinata Nakaima and Chidori Takebe

UP NEXT: Red Section-Chapter 18: “Teaming Up with One of Masayo’s Old Rivals in the Past”

Naoto and Nami have settled their plans to organize a sleepover party that will take place on May 15 (Saturday). The classmates of Naoto have been interested to stay with him at his home because they have enjoyed getting along with him whenever he had invited them to his home. Of course, the Red Arrows of Kugahara will be prepared to meet them, so that they’ll have fun hanging out together for just one night. I supposed that this update needs to add some funny moments about the last part of it, but I have to make a simple part of it because I don’t have much time to make a longer side chapter like the previous ones that I have posted. Hopefully, I will plan something to make a comedic side chapter in the future and also, I might be planning to have a follow-up update to this one very soon, so that you’re going to see what’s going to happen for them in their proposed sleepover party.:) The next update will be heading back to Fukuoka as Natsuko Kurosawa of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka will be meeting with one of Masayo Hirayama’s former rivals in Reina Yashiro. I know that I supposed that Masayo will be the main focus of it, but I didn’t find out that Natsuko had red as its main color and so, it will be focused on them and Junko Tomioka. So, get ready to see old rivals meeting with each other for a long time!:) I’ll see you on February 28 (Sunday) for the next update of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts!

As the month of February will come to an end today, I’ll be posting today’s update that will be dedicated to six voice actors: Moeka Koizumi, Rie Takahashi, Yukari Tamura, Tōru Ōkawa, Yūko Sanpei and Hirokazu Hiramatsu. Moeka, Rie and Yukari have shared the same birthdays as their birthdays were yesterday (February 27) while Tōru, Yūko and Hirokazu’s birthdays are today (February 28) as Hirokazu's birthday, February 29, wasn't listed in the year 2021 as it was only 28 days. Of course, February 29 can only be found on leap years such as 2020, 2024, etc. Born in Hyōgo, Moeka is the voice actress of Nana Daiba (Revue Starlight, representing Starlight Kukugumi), Shioriko Mifune (Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, representing Nijigasaki High School Idol Club/NijiGaku) and Yuka Jennifer Sasago (D4DJ, representing Peaky P-key). Shioriko is a new member of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club after the events of Chapter 17 from Love Live! School Idol Festival All Stars. As a result, Moeka becomes the tenth member to join the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. Coming out from Saitama, Rie is a singer and the voice actress of Ena Saitō (Laid-Back Camp), Minori Nanahashi (One Room), Emilia (Re:Zero – Starting Life in Another World), Megumin (Konosuba), Takagi (Teasing Master Takagi-san) and Mash Kyrielight (Fate). She’s also a member of the three-member unit Earphones, alongside Marika Kouno and Yuki Nagaku. Hailing from Fukuoka, Yukari is the voice actress of Keike ‘Laurier’ Kisaragi (Oresuki) and Tsukushi Tsutsukakushi (The “Hentai” Prince and the Stony Cat). Born in Kagoshima, Tōru had voiced various characters from different anime releases including Masayoshi Sawatari from Angel’s 3Piece! Coming out from Tokyo, Yūko is famously known as the voice actress of Boruto Uzumaki from BORUTO: Naruto Next Generations. She is also the voice actress of Ryō Akizuki (THE IDOLM@STER, representing 876 PRODUCTION and F-LAGS) and Kiri Uzaki (Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!). And last but not the least, hailing from Aichi, Hirokazu is the voice actor of JK Cool Manager Yamada from Maesetsu! Hopefully, those six will continue making progress of their voice acting careers, especially to both Rie and Yukari, who have done a great job in their music careers. As for Moeka, I hope that I’ll watch out for her because she’ll be determined to shine her voice acting career like her fellow members of Starlight Kukugumi and Nijigasaki High School Idol Club did! Belated happy birthday, Moeka, Rie, Yukari, Tōru, Yūko and Hirokazu!:) And tomorrow (March 1) will be the birthday of Ayumu Uehara, the leader of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club/NijiGaku, a school idol group based in Odaiba, Minato from Love Live! School Idol Project series. Ayumu had been expressive and cheerful as she had stayed positive with her fellow clubmates to keep her club from being abolished. She is also a close friend of Yu Takasaki (CV. Hinaki Yano) and a member of the sub-group A・ZU・NA, composed of her, Shizuku Ōsaka (CV. Kaori Maeda) and Setsuna Yūki (CV. Tomori Kusunoki). Ayumu is voiced by Aguri Ōnishi, a former member of Prima Porta, which is now composed of Mayu Sagara (the voice actress of Kasumi Nakasu, representing Nijigasaki High School Idol Club/NijiGaku and QU4RTZ), Shū Uchida (the voice actress of Mia Taylor, a character from Love Live!

Speaking of Aguri, she will release her first single in her music career on March 3 (Wednesday) with the title, "Honjitsu wa Seiten Nari", which means that I’ll watch out for her once her first single will be released for sure!:D Advanced happy birthday, Ayumu!:) Now, onto today’s update as it’s time to head back to Fukuoka to focus on the three members of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka in Natsuko Kurosawa, Masayo Hirayama and Junko Tomioka and a new character to be appeared in this series in Reina Yashiro, the former rival of Masayo during their elementary school days!:)

EDIT (4/25): Aside from these birthday celebrants above, there is one more birthday celebrant that I have added as February 27 was not only the birthdays of Moeka Koizumi, Rie Takahashi and Yukari Tamura, but also the birthday of Yū Suzumura of IDOLY PRIDE. Originally coming from Kyoto, Yū is a member of TRINITYAiLE and studying at the Tsukizuki Private High School.

Her father is the president of a large corporation while her mother is a famous thoroughbred actress. Yū is voiced by Momo Asakura of TrySail. Belated happy birthday, Yū!:)

Enjoy reading the eighteenth side chapter of the Red Section Series!:)

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES
CHAPTER 18: “TEAMING UP WITH ONE OF MASAYO’S OLD RIVALS IN THE PAST

Date: May 5, 2010 (Wednesday)

This side chapter is focused on Natsuko Kurosawa as she and her fellow friends from the Bravehearts of Fukuoka are going to meet one of the rivals of Masayo Hirayama named Reina Yashiro, a well-known athletic player that had been played for the Saitozaki High School.

Masayo, Natsuko and Junko are heading to the house of Reina Yashiro, who was Masayo’s old rival when they were facing each other in the elementary school city tournament back in five years ago. She’s currently a second year high school student from the Saitozaki High School in Saitozaki, Fukuoka, playing as a small forward.

At the entrance of Reina’s house, Masayo presses the doorbell for a second before hearing Reina’s voice on the speaker. “Who is it?”

Masayo shouts her name through the speaker. “It’s me, Masayo-san!”

“Masayo-san? Are you here?” asked Reina through the speaker.

“Yep! We want to visit your home because we want to pay a visit here” said Masayo.

“Okay, then, I’ll open the door before I’ll allow you to enter” said Reina.

“Sure!” said Masayo.

“Okay!” said Natsuko and Junko. A few seconds later, Reina opens the door of the entrance of her home before smiles to Masayo and her friends.

“Well, if isn’t my former rival Masayo Hirayama. I’m surprised that you came here!” said Reina.

“Yep! It’s been a while that I haven’t seen you for a long time” said Masayo.

“It’s about five years after you faced against us in the quarterfinals” said Natsuko.

“Yep! I was there to battle the three of you, but you managed to beat me and my team” said Reina.

“Yes, we are!” said Masayo, Natsuko and Junko.

“Now that we meet again, I’m so excited that we’re going to have a great time to hang out with you!” said Masayo.

“Of course, Masayo-san! Now, please, come to our home. I’ll show you around” said Reina.

“Okay!” said Masayo, Natsuko and Junko as the three have entered the home of Reina. Reina would give the three a tour on her home before sitting down together in the sofa at the living room.

“It’s so nice that you live here, Reina! Your home must be stupendous!” said Masayo.

“Yep! My family built this house when I was just five years old because we decided to move our former home from Kashii to this one when my father’s brother had recommended him to own a new house that would be good for me and my family” said Reina.

“You’re kidding! You should have stayed there in the first place!” said Masayo.

“I didn’t know that you move away from your former home in our hometown, so that you want to study in a different school” said Natsuko.

“We would have been living in the same hometown as we are” said Junko.

“Yeah, but my father had moved jobs a little bit because he wants to have a higher salary on his work that he paid it off. He’s a good office worker in a bigger company and he had been a changed man since we moved to Saitozaki” said Reina.

“Well, that was nice for him. I’m very grateful to see your father doing what it takes to work well” said Masayo.

“I’m sure that your father will continue spending time to work to get a paycheck, so that you’ll get a good allowance for your budget from your father” said Natsuko.

“Or he could buy some groceries and appliances for your home” said Junko.

“Yeah, he would do either of those, but the only thing that my father wants for me is to buy a new phone” said Reina.

“Seriously, Reina? You want a new phone?” sarcastically askd Masayo.

“What? You obviously don’t know that some companies have brought the new models of their cellphones every year. I mean, I want to have one of the newly-modelled cellphones to use for better communication and I might end up getting rid of my current phone that I used” said Reina.

“What do you mean ‘getting rid of your phone’? You used that for messaging and taking pictures, but what’s the difference about that and the new one?” queried Natsuko.

“Well, the newly-modelled cellphones are way better to communicate, but they are also valuable to do anything what you want like online chat, Internet the list goes on” said Reina.

“Ah, I get it now, Reina-san. I know that you want to have a new phone in your hands, so that you’ll be able to call your friends for sure” said Junko.

“I’m going to say that you rather keep your current phone when you buy the new one” said Natsuko.

“What? Are you kidding me? You want me to keep my current one after you buy a new one?” surpsingly queried Reina.

“Yeah! That way, your current phone will be a back-up one in case you don’t have the new one” said Natsuko.

“Uh… I guess that I agree on what you’re saying, Natsuko-san. I mean, who needs the current one that I’m using before I’ll buy a new one” said Reina.

“Well, it depends on whether you’ll buy a new phone or not. I mean, it’s your choice” said Masayo.

“I might be planning on buying a new one, but I’ll think about it before I have to change my mind” said Reina.

“That’s good. I hope that you’ll finally have a time to get rid of your current phone to buy a new one” said Masayo.

“Yeah” said Reina.

“By the way, Reina-san, the reason we came here is because ever since Masayo had missed her rivals in her days in the elementary school girls’ basketball team, she had a plan on letting them join to our Bravehearts of Fukuoka” said Natsuko.

“Really, are you going to let me join that group?” asked Reina.

“Well, I personally invite some if they have the desired to join, but since you’re my former rival in our days at the elementary school city tournament, I’m going to invite you to be part of our group” said Masayo.

“Yes!” said Reina as she’s getting excited to be part of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka.

“But in order to be part of our organization, you have to co-habit with either one or all of us in a mission. Do you get that?” said Masayo.

“Of course, Masayo-san! I’m not going to let you down!” said Reina.

“Atta girl! Now, let’s go outside and we’ll do this together!” said Masayo.

“Sure!” said Reina.

Later, Masayo, Natsuko, Junko and Reina are outside of the Yahsiro Residence where they would be joined by Masayo’s friends, composed of Masayo Natsukawa, Minori Hamasaki, Maiko Tsujimura, Kaori Miyazaki, Futaba Tanabe and Yōko Shimoji, and Reina’s friends, composed of Fumiko Ishizu, Tōko Matsuyama, Ayumi Sakaguchi, Nanami Kusunose and Minako Katsuura.

“Now, what we’re going to do is that the four of us will play basketball against my friends of mine in a 5-on-5 match, but since our team needs one more to complete it, I need a volunteer to be part of my team” said Masayo before asking Reina on which of the friends of her latter will join the team. “Reina, who do you want to pick one of your friends to be part of our team?”

“I’m going for Fumiko Ishizu, one of my teammates in the Saitozaki High School and my childhood friend!” said Reina as Fumiko was called by Reina to be part of her team. Fumiko Ishizu is a second year high school student from the Saitozaki High School and a close friend of Reina.

“I’m ready whenever you are, Reina-san! I’m so honored to team up with your former rivals out there!” said Fumiko Ishizu.

“You bet! Masayo is going to co-habit with me in a 5-on-5 match against her friends!” said Reina.

“Well, it’s gonna be a piece of cake!” said Fumika.

“So, it will be interesting to see which team will be the best and the rule of this one is the first team to score 21 points wins” said Masayo Natsukawa, a second year high school student from the Kashii Gakuen High School and a close friend of Masayo.

“We have to work together, Reina-san! We have to make sure that we co-habit well with our moves grooving in” said Natsuko.

“Yes, I am, Natsuko-san! I’m feeling it because after all, Masayo and I were rivals” said Reina.

“Yes, you are. Now, let’s do this!” said Natsuko.

“Yeah!” said Reina.

“Now, remember, Reina-san, we should play hard if you want to be part of our Bravehearts of Fukuoka” said Masayo.

“Of course not! I’m ready!” said Reina.

“Now, let the match begins!” said Masayo as she releases the ball for the tip-off and Masayo and Futaba jump to compete for the ball. Masayo tips the ball first before Natsuko grabs it. Natsuko and Reina would start their run together as the game may be focused on both of them.

Team Hirayama: Fumiko Ishizu (PG), Junko Tomioka (SG), Natsuko Kurosawa (SF), Reina Yashiro (PF), Masayo Hirayama (C)
Team Hamasaki: Yōko Shimoji (PG), Kaori Miyazaki (SG), Minori Hamasaki (SF), Maiko Tsujimura (PF), Futaba Tanabe (C)

Natsuko starts to dribble the ball before going for the dash to drive past Minori and then, passing it to Reina. Reina dazzles her way to the paint as she gets away from Maiko before shooting the ball with the driving layup to score her first two points for her team.

“Wow! Reina gets the first points in the game!” said Tōko Matsuyama, a second year high school student from the Saitozaki High School and a close friend of Reina.

“I’m so excited that Reina is going to dazzle for her rival’s team!” said Ayumi Sakaugchi, a second year high school student from the Saitozaki High School and a close friend of Reina.

“Yeah, but let’s see if she can dazzle for more” said Tōko.

“Yeah, I agree!” said Ayumi.

When Team Hamasaki holds the possession of the ball, Reina is eyeing on her opponents as she’s ready to make an impact. Maiko would battle against Reina in the post as they square off for the battle of their strength.

“You think that you’re proving against me?” asked Maiko Tsujimura, a second year high school student from the Kashii Gakuen High School and a close friend of Masayo.

“Why, yes, I am! I’m going to rip you into pieces with my strength!” said Reina.

“Then, I’ll show you how it’s done!” said Maiko as she jumps up as she’s going for the hook shot, but Reina would counter it with the block.

“Not on my watch! I’m stronger!” said Reina while Maiko gasps in horror. Then, Fumiko gets the ball for the rebound.

“Nice block, girl! You’re seemed to be confident on stopping that girl” said Fumiko.

“That was beautiful!” said Natsuko.

“Thanks, girls! I’m typically liking my way of stopping my opponents when I face them, even I got struggled some times” said Reina.

“Well, you’re not struggled at all, Reina-san. You’re very good on defense because you had a great strength to prove that you’re better” said Fumiko while passing the ball to Junko.

“And you have to remember that your strength can give you your time to stop your opponents as you want to make them fear” said Natsuko while seeing Junko driving past Yōko through her drive.

“Well, fear is not always my #1 priority when it comes to defense, but I’m doing anything to shine!” said Reina.

“Yeah!” said Fumiko and Natsuko. The scene changes to Junko passing the ball to Masayo as Masayo successfully shoots the ball with the easy layup to extended her team’s lead to 4.

Reina would battle against Maiko once again as they have moved with each other through their strength. When Maiko steps away from Reina, Maiko was about to shoot the ball with the hook shot, but Reina contests that shot to make that it will miss.

“You’re not going to make it, girl!” said Reina while using her hand as a leverage in trying to make Maiko’s shot miss. The ball had bounced off from the rim and Masayo gets the ball for the rebound.

“That was a beautiful contest, Reina! I’m feeling good to see that!” said Masayo while passing the ball to Natsuko.

“Yeah, Masayo-san! It’s like when we faced off before” said Reina.

“Oh, you mean you and I were squaring off when we were back in elementary school?” asked Masayo.

“Yep! I had tried to stop you when you’re going to shoot, which sometimes I did a few, but the others won’t. I couldn’t feel about what’s going to happen when you shot over my face with that jump shot” said Reina.

“Well, you haven’t noticed when I proved it to you that you’re afraid of stopping me” said Masayo while Natsuko dazzles once again with the crossover move against Minori, thanks to Masayo screening on Minori.

“Oh, I didn’t! I have to be brave to stop! I was able to hold it off at sometime before you create shockwaves to prove that you’re better than me” said Reina.

“Well, that’s good for being brave, Reina. You should get used to it to make sure that you are brave enough to show who truly are” said Masayo.

“Really, you’re going to make me inspire after we faced each other in the past?” queried Reina.

“Yeah!” said Masayo before Natsuko shouts at Reina as she’s about to pass the ball to the latter.

“Now, Reina-san! It’s time!” said Natsuko.

Reina had grabbed the ball quickly before speaking to Masayo. “Maybe, I’m not afraid of you anymore.” Reina takes the power-up shot over the face of Maiko and the ball drives to the basket. This gives Masayo’s team scoring another two points and the score if now 6-0.

“You do?” said Masayo, which Reina nods her head in agreement. Masayo would speak to Reina in a complimented way. “Well, good for you, girl! I believe in that! You should be able to prove you really are that you’re a good player and you can’t turn your back on what’s going to happen now.”

“Yeah, I agree, Masayo-san! I can’t be awful after all” said Reina.

“Yep!” said Masayo.

The match continues as Team Hamasaki was able to grab their first basket with Koari shooting a jump shot in the post. Then, Reina had to prove her way to make sure that she’s isn’t afraid of anyone as she was dazzling her move with a crossover over Minori.

When she sees Natsuko who was open away from the three-point line, Reina passes the ball to her. “Catch, Natsuko-san!”

“Got it!” said Natsuko before shooting the three-point shot from beyond the arc and the ball drives to the basket. Natsuko smiles to Reina while speaking to her. “You rock, Reina-san! You’re doing great now!”

“Thanks, Natsuko-san!” said Reina with a smile on her face.

When Maiko had the ball on her hands, Reina would tight her defense to make sure that Maiko won’t go anywhere. Reina tries to steal the ball, but Maiko sways the ball away. They clash against each other with their strength before Maiko finds an opening to shoot the ball with the circle shot, but Reina contests that shot, thus missing it.

Masayo once again grabs the ball for the rebound before passing the ball to Fumiko. Fumiko had to show her dazzling moves to Yōko before getting past her. Then, Fumiko tries to shoot the ball with the jump shot, but it misses.

“I’ll get it!” said Maiko, but she didn’t find out that Reina was there too.

“Oh no, you don’t!” said Reina as she grabs the ball for the offensive rebound before circling her way back to face Maiko.

“Come on, Reina-san!” said Tōko.

“You can do it!” said Ayumi.

“Show her that you’re the boss!” said Nanami Kusunose, a second year high school student from the Saitozaki High School and a close friend of Reina.

“Yeah! Just make sure that she won’t get the ball from your hands!” said Minako Katsuura, a second year high school student from the Saitozaki High School and a close friend of Reina.

Reina would dazzle with her pattern known as the Butterfly Breeze as she was able to drive past Maiko and then, shoots the ball with the finger roll, which is successful.

“Alright! Way to go, Reina-san!” said Tōko.

“Nice move!” said Ayumi.

“That was stupendous!” said Nanami.

“Nothing can stop that girl now!’ said Minako.

“Thanks, girls! I knew that you had counted on me!” said Reina while giving her friends a smile on her face.

“Yes, we are!” said Tōko, Ayumi, Nanami and Minako.

The next scene shows Futaba being double teamed by Reina and Masayo before Futaba misses the clutch layup, thanks to Reina contesting it. Fumiko grabs the ball for the rebound before passing the ball to Reina. As Reina continues to shine in her way to stop Maiko, she was able to find Natsuko by passing the ball to her, letter her to shoot the ball.

When Natsuko makes the cornered jump shot to score for two points thus the score is now 13-2, Reina was very happy to see it, which speaks to her. “Nice shot, Natsuko-san! I’m loving it!”

“Thanks, Reina-san! Playing with you was so much fun!” said Natsuko.

“Yes, I agree!” said Reina.

Reina would continue to step up for Team Hirayama where she was able to stop her opponents with her strength and pass the ball to her teammates. After consecutive shots being made, Team Hirayama would grab the victory over Team Hamasaki with the score of 22-4.

Ayumi shakes hands with Masayo as she accepts defeat while Natsuko and Reina were congratulated by Maiko.

“I cannot believe what I’m seeing this, but you must be balling out there, Reina-san” said Maiko.

“Yes, I am. I had been representing for Saitozaki for six years and I’m very confident that I had been doing my best for my career to be growing to the next level” said Reina.

“Well, I can’t argue with that, girl. Nice game” said Maiko.

“Same goes to you!” said Reina.

“Oh, wow! Look at Reina goes! I can’t believe that she was impressed by one of Masayo’s friends!” said Natsuko.

“Yeah! She is very friendly towards her opponents before and after the game and I know that she would be smiling on her face when someone had impressed her” said Junko.

“It’s nice that she had been friendly to us ever since you two and Masayo have faced her in the past. Don’t you think that she’s ready to be part of our group?” said Masayo.

“Yeah, Masayo-san!” said Natsuko and Junko.

After the match had been over, Masayo, Natsuko, Junko, Reina and their friends would relax themselves at the living room where they drinked their water to refresh themselves.

“Ah! It was a nice game that we worked together as a team! I helped your team to make sure that you get the job done!” said Reina.

“Yep! And I’m so surprised that you’re doing like the way you faced us before. I haven’t thought that you’re a different rival or something” said Masayo.

“Oh, don’t judge me about how I looked like before and after, Masayo-san! I’m very different now after we met before and I can’t lose my willpower because it’s my way to shine like you and your teammates did” said Reina.

“Ah, yes, you’re very cute when you say about yourself, but I’m feeling okay that you make us blessed” said Masayo.

“Yeah! You showed us the true meaning of teamwork and it was so great that you were shining with your moves” said Natsuko.

“That will give us a great effort to win this match. Well done, girl!” said Junko.

“Thanks, girls! I was so nervous that you won’t help me for a second, but I’m feeling good that we’re on the same team” said Reina.

“Of course, Reina-san! That’s what we do to make sure that no one will backstabbing us and to make sure that everything will be just fine” said Masayo.

“Hopefully, we will still be balling like the way we have in the past” said Natsuko.

“But this time, it’s for a better change to make a better future” said Junko.

“Yeah, I agree, girls!” said Reina.

“So, Reina, I would like to welcome you to the Bravehearts of Fukuoka” said Masayo.

“You are now part of our family of bravehearts” said Natsuko.

“That is such an honor to be part of your group! Thank you, Masayo-san and Natsuko-san!” said Reina.

“You’re welcome!” said Masayo and Natsuko.

“Now that you are part of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka, we’re going to do anything to bless our community and to make our future getting brighter” said Junko.

“Yeah, I’ll do it, even we’re rivals, right?” replied Reina.

“Yes, Reina-san!” said Masayo, Natsuko and Junko.

“So, by the way, girls, everyone is speculating that the prefectural basketball tournament in Fukuoka will be slated to start on June 12 (Saturday). We might want to be in a hurry if we want to step up” said Reina.

“Yeah, of course!” said Masayo.

“I agree with you, Reina-san!” said Natsuko.

“We should do that!” said Junko.

“So, when the next time we meet with each other very soon, I hope that this is going to be more serious and more competitive than our first match. Don’t you think?” said Reina.

“Well, it’s going to be better than that, Reina-san!” said Masayo while Natsuko and Junko nod their heads in agreement.

“Then, we should train together at your home at some time! That way, we’re all up for the prefectural tournament!” said Reina.

“Yeah!” said Masayo, Natsuko and Junko.

“Oh, one more thing, I heard that your friend will be competing in the Ōta Blue Wind Cup, which will take place in Tokyo” said Reina.

“Yes, you’re right about that, Reina-san. His basketball team were invited by the Ōta Blue Wind Cup Organizing Committee to be part of the pre-season tournament that will take place in Ōta” said Masayo.

“The big thing that you find it coincidental is that Kazuhiro has the same level as Subaru Hasegawa, the leader of the Bravehearts of Ōta” said Natsuko.

“We met them during the second and third day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week where we watched the Fuchsia and Celadon Dragons Tournament” said Junko.

“Ah, that’s very nice! I can’t wait to visit Tokyo, girls, because that place was beautiful and it’s going to be fantastic to visit there!” said Reina.

“Yep! Hopefully, if Kashii Gakuen will win the prefectural tournament this year, we’ll invite everyone in our group to watch the Interhigh Nationals” said Masayo.

“That would include you, Reina-san!” said Natsuko.

“Since you and Masayo are rivals” said Junko.

Reina nods her head in agreement to agree with Natsuko and Junko. “I agree, girls!” Then, she talks to them about a possible rematch between her school and Masayo’s school in the upcoming prefectural tournament. “I hope that we will watch Kazuhiro and his team shining together to win the tournament, but I’m also hoping that we’ll meet each other in the prefectural tournament very soon.”

“Yeah, Reina-san, we agree!” said Masayo, Natsuko and Junko.

“It’s nice that I got along with you, Reina, and it’s going to be awesome that we’ll work together for our future” said Masayo.

“Yeah, you got it, Masayo-san!” said Reina while giving Masayo, Natsuko and Junko a smile on her face. Masayo, Natsuko and Junko have met Reina for the first time after their encounter five years ago, which is very interesting to see each other for a long time. They would finally induct Reina as a new member of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka after they worked together in a co-habitation activity. It was very nice that Masayo and her friends have become friends with one of their rivals in the past and hopefully, they will do the same to their other rivals that have faced before. This may be very interesting to see as friends and rivals were about to team up together to make their future getting brighter and hopefully, the Bravehearts of Fukuoka will continue to shine for more with their new members.

It was so nice that everything had been blooming, especially when you either read the updates of the Red Section Series or watch the episodes of the anime of our club. I hope that you’re ready for our side chapter, which will feature my club, the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, as we will be sharing about Setsuna’s world of idol democracy. If you don’t know about the idol democracy, it is a type of democracy where it is run by idols and fans in one place to another and it’s very nice that you’re all excited for this because the author of this series had already done the draft about two months ago before it will finally be posted next week. So, get ready to see us sharing about Setsuna’s world of democracy because it’s going to be more blooming and more shining for sure! As tomorrow will be my birthday, hopefully, you’re with me to celebrate because I’ll be more delighted to see your smile, which makes me feel happy to see that and of course, we’ll be cheering just for you! I hope that you’re all excited for the month of March because it will be nice to make Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts blooming with new updates to be posted every Wednesday and Sunday. Whenever you want us to motivate, just shout and cheer! I’ll be happy for you because you’re all friends with me for sure! Until then, I’ll see you next week for our side chapter, everyone!

UP NEXT: Red Section-Chapter 19: “Bravehearts of Setagaya’s Special Night to End the Golden Week Celebration”

Reina Yashiro had finally become a member of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka as she became the first rival of Masayo to join that braveheart group. It’s so nice that a former rival will finally step up to represent for that braveheart group and I believe that this will change her life forever because she’s now being blessed by her new friends in Masayo, Natsuko and Junko.;) I supposed that I want to have a co-habitation activity between them, but since it’s all about the rivalry, I decided to make a quicker activity, which is a 5-on-5 match. Reina had been shining her way to prove that she’s still worthy to dazzle with her moves because she had been determined to play hard like she did in the past and when she was teaming up with her former rival Masayo and her friends, she feels motivated that she finally got a chance to play with them. Hopefully, Reina will be able to do anything to bless the community for her new group and so, she’s going to expect new things to prepare when she’s representing for the Bravehearts of Fukuoka.:) The next update will be heading back to Tokyo as we’ll take a look at the fantastic tea party that was organized by the Bravehearts of Setagaya to close out the Golden Week celebration. You’re going to see them as well as the leaders from their respective mainstream groups where they’re going to share their fantasy and how does it play out. I’ll see you on March 3 (Wednesday) for the next update of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts!
 
Today (March 3) is the birthday of Hinata Hakamada, a female character from Ro-Kyu-Bu! Hinata was a pure and innocent girl who can express feelings to her friends including her sister Kagetsu Hakamada (CV: Asami Seto) and her friend Subaru Hasegawa (CV: Yūki Kaji). Hinata is voiced by Yui Ogura. On the other hand, tomorrow (March 4) is a double birthday celebration as it will be the birthdays of Hanamaru Kunikida (Love Live! Sunshine!!) and Sasame Mitsukuri (Ongaku Shoujo). A first year high school student Hanamaru is a member of Aqours and a local choir and an avid reader of the library of the Uranohoshi Girls’ High School. She and her family had run a local temple without several modern-age utilities, which results to her becoming enamored upon seeing them, much to the surprise of others. She was nicknamed ‘Zumamaru’ by Yoshiko Tsushima (CV: Aika Kobayashi), who was her childhood friend back in their kindergarten days, and had ended many of her sentences with “-zura” because of her Shizuoka dialect. She is also a member of the sub-group AZALEA, composed of her, Kanan Matsuura (CV: Nanaka Suwa) and Dia Kurosawa (CV: Arisa Komiya). On the other hand, a second year middle school student Sasame is a cute girl from Ōmi, Shiga (now Ōtsu, Shiga), who likes to be with her fellow idol girls and sporting hair buns on both sides. Hanamaru is voiced by Kanako Takatsuki, who’s also a member of BlooDye with Carin Isobe, and Sasame is voiced by Karin Takahashi. Happy birthday, Hinata, Hanamaru and Sasame!:) Now, onto today’s update as it’s time to celebrate with the Bravehearts of Setagaya as they will be organizing their traditional tea ceremony at the Inagaki Residence!

To kick off the month of March, I'll be posting today’s update that will be focused on the Bravehearts of Setagaya where they will be organizing a culminating activity to cap off the Golden Week celebration that will take place at the Inagaki Residence. So, in order to make that happen, the Bravehearts of Setagaya have invited the leaders of the mainstream groups that were part of it, so that they will be able to celebrate the end of the Golden Week celebration by doing the Japanese tea ceremony. The Japanese tea ceremony was practiced by the Japanese people for many years even it was majorly popular during the shogunate period. Of course, not only they will be ready to relax and relieve, but they will also have an activity where they will share their own fantasy, which you're going to see them sharing about something fantastic and thrilling to everyone! So, if you’re ready to take a nice tea to relax and relieve with Tsuyoshi, Asami and their braveheart friends, then here comes the nineteenth side chapter of the Red Section Series with the title, “Bravehearts of Setagaya’s Special Night to End the Golden Week Celebration”! Enjoy reading the nineteenth side chapter of the Red Section Series!:)

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES
CHAPTER 19: “BRAVEHEARTS OF SETAGAYA’S SPECIAL NIGHT TO END THE GOLDEN WEEK CELEBRATION

Date: May 5, 2020 (Wednesday)

This side chapter is focused on the Bravehearts of Setagaya as they are going to organize their own event to celebrate the conclusion of the Golden Week Celebration before they’ll be going to back to school tomorrow.

At the Ingaki Residence, the members of the Bravehearts of Setagaya have invited the leaders of the mainstream groups that are associated to them to a traditional tea ceremony where they will celebrate the conclusion of the Golden Week Celebration.

Bravehearts of Setagaya: Tsuyoshi Arakawa, Asami Inagaki, Tomoyo Akaike, Itsuko Maekawa, Mayumi Kodaira, Sachiko Eguchi, Koharu Hanazawa, Tsubaki Momoi, Reiko Suginami, Yasue Takeyama, Nana Ōtsubo, Kuriko Tsushima, Momo Misaka, Chiharu Tachikawa, Ryōtarō Miyaji, Yasuhiro Hara, Yū Takada, Yūta Ikezaki, Jun Yamaguchi, Kyōko Shimada, Miku Takagi, Narumi Murayama, Ako Nishimura and Sayako Ishikawa

Leaders of the Mainstream Groups of the Bravehearts of Setagaya: Mika Shimamoto (Tamagawa Redhawks), Toshikazu Oikawa (Tamagawa Redhawks), Seiko Harasaki (Lavender Blitz), Nobumasa Shirogane (Rustle Crew), Azusa Kawanami (Green Cloud), Chihiro Nakayama (Strike and Twirl), Yuriko Hagiwara (Fortune 22), Akemi Yanagawa (Tsurumaki Bloom Star), Misato Kinouchi (Silver Melody), Kazuto Matsuyama (Polaris Blue), Rie Kayano (Purely Yellow) and Masayuki Kurose (Junior Azure Knights)

“Thank you for coming to this event and we were welcoming you to our traditional tea party!” said Tsuyoshi Arakawa.

“We organize this event as to celebrate the conclusion of the Golden Week” said Kuriko Tsushima.

“Hopefully, everyone will remember this because it’s nice that everyone will gather around and celebrate” said Ryōtarō Miyaji.

“So, are you ready for this wonderful night activity to celebrate?” asked Asami Inagaki.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Setagaya and the leaders of the mainstream groups of the Bravehearts of Setagaya.

“Great! Let’s get this party started!” said Asami.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Setagaya and the leaders of the mainstream groups of the Bravehearts of Setagaya as everyone would sit down in the tatami while Sayako Ishikawa puts the small cups and a pitcher of green tea on the table.

“Now, as everyone is here, each of us will be going to share about your fantasy that you want to dream on when we’re sleeping at night” said Tsuyoshi.

“This sharing may be different than the previous topics that we gave you because for today’s theme, it’s going to be something imaginable” said Kuriko.

“With that said, everyone must think about it for a few minutes and then, once you’re thinking, you’re ready to share to us” said Ryōtarō.

“Hopefully, this will shock you, so get ready!” said Asami.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Setagaya and the leaders of the mainstream groups of the Bravehearts of Setagaya.

“Now, start thinking a fantasy that you come up through your mind before you’ll share to all of us” said Tsuyoshi.

“Everyone must think before you act” said Kuriko. The the members of the Bravehearts of Setagaya and the leaders of the mainstream groups of the Bravehearts of Setagaya. Have started thinking about their ideas on what to share with.

Asami, Mika and Toshikazu are speaking in a low voice to make sure that the others can’t hear about them. The members of the Bravehearts of Setagaya have either paired with the mainstream leaders of the mainstream groups of the Bravehearts of Setagaya or their own.

“So, what our fantasy would be like, Mika-san?” asked Asami.

“Well, I was thinking about creating a fictional world that is inhabited by mostly devils. I mean, the world will be full of humans and devils, but the devils may have their levels of living. Then, if you look at their world, you’ll see the fact that the devils are usually doing what the humans do, but they might be fear of death” said Mika Shimamoto.

“Aha! You think that the devils may be undead?” queried Toshikazu.

“Uh… yeah, Toshikazu-san. The devils may have their own living because they can do with their desires. Humans can do their desires, but they might be worrying about bad things to happen. So, they have to do what is right to make sure that there will be good things to happen. I mean, mistakes were made, but they have to be mindful about that” said Mika.

“I think that you’re right, Mika-san. I know that I read those stories that are related to devils, but the thing that I want to represent is their passion. Passion is the only way to make everyone including devils to do and if we were living in a devil-populated world, we may be good enough to live there” said Asami.

“How did you know about that?” asked Toshikazu.

“I was dreaming every other night about my own world where I was interacting with the devils of our selves” said Asami.

“You mean us?” queried Mika and Toshikazu.

“Yep! It’s not always looking around to see devils in my own world, but they have to be confident when trying to live with desire and passion. I realize that they’re friendly to each other, but sometimes, they mean each other. My own world had to be a desirable paradise without worrying about your fear” said Asami.

“Well, I take the part where you said about the devils in your own world. I mean, devils have run different places that they have” said Mika.

“Maybe, they’re going to end up doing desirable things that are not so dangerous if you know what I mean” said Toshikazu.

“Of course, Toshikazu-san! If we can come up of an idea of how devils do desires, we have to think that they’re cared enough to make people doing what’s best for them, not to make mistakes because in the world of devils, they are no place to make mistakes, they have to do what’s fun for them” said Asami.

“Ah, I see it now” said Mika.

“I get it, Asami-san” said Toshikazu.

“Well, I believe that we should be good enough to share how everyone make desires for them to be fulfilled with good vibes” said Mika.

“And then, there won’t be heated confrontations from one way to another” said Toshikazu.

“You got it!” said Asami.

“So, if your own world, I mean, our world, will be co-existing with our plans for the extended group of our own group, you think that it’s unthinkable?” asked Mika.

“Well, almost as if everyone in our group agrees” said Asami.

“Yeah, that’s true, Asami-san. We should tell them about this by tomorrow, so that we can start planning on this” said Mika.

“We will make sure that everyone will do their desires to find new partners for your circle of friends” said Toshikazu.

“Yeah, you got it!” said Asami.

On the other hand, the other members of the Bravehearts of Setagaya and their allies have also shared with their own fantasy as they chat with each other indistinct. Tsuyoshi and Kuriko have been looking at them while taking a cup of tea.

“Are you all done?” asked Tsuyoshi.

“Is everyone think about the ideas that you’re going to share?” asked Kuriko.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Setagaya and the leaders of the mainstream groups of the Bravehearts of Setagaya.

“Now, we’re going to take turns on the sharing. We’ll start from the top left, composed of the new members such as Yūta Ikezaki, Jun Yamaguchi, Kyōko Shimada, Miku Takagi, Narumi Murayama and Ako Nishimura” said Tsuyoshi.

“And then, through the middle” said Kuriko.

“And finally, to the right” said Ryōtarō.

“Each of us will talk about their fantasy and what does it looked like. You’re also going to explain how it fits for you” said Tsuyoshi.

“You have to be mindful on what you’re saying because we have our own desired ways to make a better dream and in order to accomplish that, you have to put your ideas of your own before you’ll share” said Kuriko.

“Hopefully, you’re all eyes on what you’re going to share tonight. Okay?” said Ryōtarō.

“Okay!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Setagaya and the leaders of the mainstream groups of the Bravehearts of Setagaya.

“Well, then, let’s start through the left” said Tsuyoshi as Miku, Narumi and Ako are going to share their fantasy first.

“For the three of us, we imagine about the daimyo period where the samurais have run one place to another. So, if we looked back to it, I wish that we could make our own place to please with the inhabitants out there. I would love to visit my mother’s hometown in Kanagawa, so I make that place as an example of when we’re setting up our own place” said Miku Takagi.

“Our place will be full of bamboos and flowers, good to make an ikebana. We thought about making an ikebana when the Art teacher Genjiro Sakamoto taught us about that last year” said Narumi Murayama.

“This will give the inhabitants show their love to us because they want to own the ikebanas for their homes. It’s only a matter of time when they want to design their home with beautiful ikebanas and fine decorations being used as materials to design” said Ako Nishimura.

“It’s great that we want to look back to the past because you have to be pride to your ancestors on what they have done when they were still alive. Hopefully, we can imagine this for ourselves” said Miyu.

“Yeah!” said Narumi and Ako.

“I’m liking that kind of idea, girls, but running a place to make ikebanas was not a bad idea at all!” said Tsuyoshi.

“I like ikebanas because you can design that with the flowers you need to make it beautiful” said Kuriko.

“So good that the ikebana may be kept to make it blooming when everyone in the house sees it” said Ryōtarō.

“Yeah, we agree, guys!” said Miyu, Narumi and Ako.

“That’s why we want to imagine ourselves by creating our own place in a period that is full of pride and honor in the past. I mean, we’re great to be servants and so, we want to run that place for ourselves” said Miyu.

“Hopefully, when we sleep either later or on the other day, we will finally make our fantasy coming to our dream” said Narumi.

“It’s going to be fantastic that we want to show our artistic ways to everyone and we want to prove it for ourselves” said Ako.

“Yeah!” said Miyu and Narumi.

“That was a nice sharing, girls! I am very interested to see that when I’m going to that dream” said Tsuyoshi.

“We hope that we find it fit for us to be part of your dream” said Kuriko.

“Yeah, we will!” said Miyu, Narumi and Ako.

“You’re up to share, Yūta and Jun and Kyōko!” said Tsuyoshi.

“Show your fantasy that you’re planning” said Kuriko.

“Okay!” said Yūta, Jun and Kyōko are going to share about their fantasy, but this time, it’s going to be different than the first one. Yūta Ikezaki goes first to share for the trio. “Imagine, we ended up visiting a famous temple and then, you find out that there’s a scroll that says ‘Your powers are in your hands when you watch the wind blowing’. You realize that you’re going to have your powers to use when we’re in combat against the enemies.”

“The scroll gives us the time to become the keepers of the temple where we want to protect that sacred temple from our enemies approaching” said Jun Yamaguchi.

“You’ll be surprised that you’re going to guard that place, so that you’ll better watch out on the intruders that are going to sneak” said Kyōko Shimada.

“With our powers, we can fight the enemies to knock them off. It’s not always easy to take them out until you were able to become the last standing in the temple” said Yūta.

“Well, that was a nice fantasy that you’re setting, guys. I’m optimistic that you want to guard and protect the temple from strangers” said Tsuyoshi.

“It may be a tough challenge to do it, but that will give your time to stop the enemies from getting through your place” said Kuriko.

“Hopefully, you’ll be good enough to be the guardians of the temple that you are protecting because it’s very sacred” said Ryōtarō.

“Yeah!” said Yūta, Jun and Kyōko.

“Our fantasy focuses on protecting your place from your enemies because you’re going to be vigilant when you’ll fight against certain enemies that are trying to take over” said Yūta.

“Our powers may not last but long because it has limits to make us powerful” said Jun.

“So, we better careful on fighting against the enemies because one mistake, you’re done. It’s over” said Kyōko.

“That’s why we can’t break the rule because it’s we need to protect ourselves” said Yūta.

“Yeah!” said Jun and Kyōko.

“Well, I’m going to look forward to that, guys. I hope that you find it suited for you to be protected by someone’s running that place” said Tsuyoshi.

“Yeah!” said Yūta, Jun and Kyōko.

“Now, it’s time to move on to the next set, which will be Yū and Masayuki” said Kuriko.

“Let’s see if you have one, Yū and Masayuki” said Ryōtarō.

“Yes, we have!” said Yū and Masayuki as they’re going to share about their fantasy. Yū Takada would go first to share. “Our fantasy would be something that we want to experience this in the future. So, we ended up building a sports academy in a world that is run by aristocrats and wealthy businessmen.”

“In our sports academy that what we call it the ‘Azure Republic Sports Academy’ because we want to name it right after our group’s name, the Junior Azure Knights, it will be composed of elite athletes that have taught to be the greatest and one day that they will shine to represent their home” said Masayuki Kurose.

“We believe that we’re in the business world with a lot of money raising every day, so we decided that our sports academy will be available to those who wanted to make progress of their sporting careers and it will be our pleasure to welcome them” said Yū.

“Any race from around the world will be allowed to enter our academy and we will show our best to make a great sports academy that changes every sport forever” said Masayuki.

“Oh, my goodness! I can’t believe that you’re going to run a sports adcademy! Damn! I’m down for that!” said Ryōtarō.

“Yep! We want to make sure that they want to be blessed with our own representation of skill, power and pride because that’s what the athletes do to represent their own name” said Yū.

“They’ll know their name when they’ll step up to the world of professional sports and they will be ready to shine and become the gems of the year” said Masayuki.

“That’s very nice, guys! I’m so thrilled that I can give it a try, but I’m going ot say that you have the best idea to inspire your hardwork” said Ryōtarō.

“That fantasy was really pumped for everyone who is interested to be the greatest. I’m sure that they want to represent for your brand” said Kuriko.

“Whether they’re coming from our hometown or not, it’s great that you want to build a better future for everyone to step up and shine” said Tsuyoshi.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Yū and Masayuki.

“Okay, you’re next, Momo, Chiharu and Yasuhiro!” said Tsuyoshi.

“Show your fantasy, guys!” said Kuriko.

“Okay!” said Momo, Chiharu and Yasuhiro as they’re the next ones to share about their fantasy. Momo Misaka would go first to share for the trio. “I want to imagine a world that is full of rides and tricks to see. The three of us can end up making an amusement park to let everyone being invited and have fun!”

“Yep! Our amusement park had been full of thrills and surprises because you’re going to see the fantastic rides and the amazing activities that everyone loves” said Chiharu Tachikawa.

“So, we want the guests in our fantasy to do what they want to have fun and it’s going to be awesome that they will be thrilled and delighted if they like it!” said Yasuhiro Hara.

“True, Yasuhiro-san! Every ride and activity will have requirements in order to get there and if we want to surprise them, there’s going to be some freebies to get” said Momo.

“We will make sure that our fantasy would be making everyone go crazy and have fun for it!” said Chiharu.

“That sounds like a good fantasy to me, Momo-san and Chiharu-san! But what kind of rides would be like?” said Tsuyoshi.

“We want to own a roller coaster, a merry-go-around, a ferris wheel and the list goes on” said Momo.

“Then, we want to design those with our colors to represent, which will be periwinkle, magenta and lemon yellow” said Chiharu.

“Oh, I like those colors! It looks like pastel to me” said Kuriko.

“And that would bring a good blend of colors to make it colorful!” said Ryōtarō.

“Yes, we agree!” said Momo, Chiharu and Yasuhiro.

“I’m very excited about that fantasy, guys! I can deserve a booking with Kuriko and Ryōtarō, so that we can be the first ones to ride a roller coaster” said Tsuyoshi.

“Well, of course, you can, Tsuyoshi-san! We would be glad to have fun with us!” said Momo.

“Yeah, we sure will!” said Tsuyoshi, Kuriko and Ryōtarō.

“It’s time to move on to the next one, which will be Nana and Rie” said Tsuyoshi.

“Any ideas that you want to share?” asked Kuriko.

“Yes, we have!” said Nana and Rie.

“Okay! Show your fantasy!” said Kuriko

“Sure!” said Nana and Rie are they’re going to share their fantasy to everyone. Nana Ōtsubo would go first to share. “Rie and I were very interested in plush toys because they were so cute and that’s why we want to imagine ourselves to a world with cute toys all over it.”

“It was nice that we want play with it because I like being comfortable when it comes to holding cute toys” said Rie Kayano.

“Yeah, I agree, Rie! We want our fantasy to be marvelous and it’s so nice that we want to invite our friends from the Purely Yellow to be with us as well” said Nana.

“So that, we’re going to get along with the toys that are so cute!” said Rie.

“That fantasy of yours was very adorable and beautiful!” said Tsuyoshi.

“I’m so surprised that your world was a full of cute and comfortable things! I really want to look forward to it because it’s good that you’re playing with plush toys!” said Kuriko.

“Yeah, we agree, Kuriko!” said Nana and Rie.

“We want to be comfortable to play plush toys with our friends and we want to imagine this to a fantasy world that everyone can have fun!” said Nana.

“It’s going to be a playground, but with plush toys being used as models” said Rie.

“I bet that I can visit there if I want to when you’re dreaming and it’s so good that I can enjoy there. Don’t you think, Tsuyoshi?” said Kuriko.

“Yep! I agree with you, Kuriko-san! I’m going to say that it’s great that you imagine that as your fantasy place, but hopefully, your friends will be interested to be part of your fantasy” said Tsuyoshi.

“Yeah!” said Nana and Rie.

“It’s your turn to share, Yasue and Kazuto! Tell us your fantasy!” said Ryōtarō.

“Okay!” said Yasue and Kazuto as they’re going to share their fantasy to everyone. Yasue Takeyama would go first to share. “I want to imagine myself to a space mission where me, Kazuto and my friends are going to visit a new world that is not known by everyone before.”

“Yeah, we believe that we want to prosper that world to make a better place and so, we decided to build our mission to colonize that place” said Kazuto Matsuyama.

“One day, we will fight against our rivals who were trying to colonize our world” said Yasue.

“Then, we will work on building our own society to represent us. That way, everyone will recognize us as one of the first people to land a new world” said Kazuto.

“I like that idea of making a sci-fi fantasy world, guys. I never got into that genre because I only read some devil-related books” said Ryōtarō.

“I’m feeling motivated that you have a space mission to colonize a new world and I’m so excited about you’re going to build to represent your group” said Kuriko.

“It sounds good that you had found some ideas to have a space fantasy world, but I’m hoping that you’re going to make that more exciting just like the others did” said Tsuyoshi.

“Yeah, we agree, Tsuyoshi!” said Yasue and Kazuto.

“The two of us were very interested in space-related stories and we want to fantasize on our own” said Yasue.

“So, we will try to figure it out on how to build a colony to represent us and then, we’re going to fight the enemies that they’re trying to get our lands” said Kazuto.

“It would be great for us to have a space fantasy world that we want to build and hopefully, we’re going to show to our friends that we have that” said Yasue.

“Then, good for you, you two! I hope that you will be delighted that your friends will be liking your fantasy” said Tsuyoshi.

“I have a feeling that you’re going to fantasize anything on your own world to make it more interesting for your friends to love it. I can take a look at your world when I’m dreaming” said Kuriko.

“So, you can, Kuriko-san! You’ll be excited to see our world for sure!” said Yasue.

“It’s going to be a full of action and excitement that you’ll ever see!” said Kazuto.

“Yeah!” said Tsuyoshi, Kuriko and Ryōtarō.

“Right now, almost half are done sharing their fantasies and of course, it’s time to move on to another one” said Tsuyoshi.

“Here comes Reiko and Misato! Let’s see if you find a fantasy that you’re going to share” said Kuriko.

“Okay!” said Rieko and Misato as they are now taking their turn to share about their fantasy. Reiko Suginami would go first to share. “As you all know, I’m the cousin of Setsuna Yūki, a member of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and so, I want to visualize my own world where it will be a world that the idols live there. In the world of idols that I created, there will be a lot of idols that they do what they want.”

“Like performing on stage to please the crowd, participating in activities that helps the community growing and getting involved in teaching the students to learn” said Misato Kinouchi.

“I want to make the difference to be with the idols in my own world because they have the desires to show what a true idol is and I want to be happy to get along with them” said Reiko.

“We all know that there were a lot of idols being active in our real world, but of course, we believe that in this world that we created, there will be a lot of idols that they expect to make the future” said Misato.

“Well, I’m liking that world, girls! I can’t believe that you’re the cousin of one of the members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club!” said Tsuyoshi.

“Yep! Setsuna was very close to me because I was coming from the Suginami family where Setsuna’s mother was part of it. However, I’m not interested in becoming an idol like her because I have my own career path to shine with” said Reiko.

“Your dream world must be amazing, Reiko! I’m very compassionate that you want to show your basketball skills, even though you’re not interested in becoming an idol. I like the way you want to build that world and I’m looking forward to see it” said Kuriko.

“Idols are very special to everyone and so, you may want to hang out with them through your imagination” said Ryōtarō.

“Yep! I agree with that, Ryōtarō! When I’m going to share our ideas to my friends, everyone will be surprised that I have made one” said Reiko.

“We will be ready to make our fantasy coming to our dream one day if everyone had agreed to our ideas” said Misato.

“That’s good! Good luck with that!” said Tsuyoshi.

“I hope that you’ll be able to make your dream come true” said Kuriko.

“It’s going to be fun when you have that fantasy coming to your dream” said Ryōtarō.

“Yeah, we will!” said Reiko and Misato.

“We still have two more pairs from the sixth grade and then, the rest will be on the first year” said Tsuyoshi.

“I believe that it was, Tsuyoshi-san. I’m sure that things are getting interesting to see what the others’ fantasies would be like as here comes Tsubaki and Akemi from the Tsurumaki Bloom Star” said Kuriko.

“You’re up, Tsubaki and Akemi! Share about your ideas of fantasy!” said Tsuyoshi.

“Okay!” said Tsubaki and Akemi as they’re about to share about their own fantasy with Tsubaki going first before Akemi does. “The idea that the two of us have whispered about is we want to organize a soccer match between my group and some certain group that probably being coached by my cousin in Masatada Momoi. He had a group called the Peach Leaves Sakuragaoka.”

“However, with a twist, everyone had their own magic powers to show that they’re powerful to make the game more interesting” said Akemi Yanagawa.

“That’s why we decided to make the game more intense as you know it!” said Tsubaki.

“That one was really looked good, girls! I never expect that you want to have a soccer match with magic powers being used to spice it up!” said Ryōtarō.

“It will make the game even fantastic to see your allies watching this!” said Kuriko.

“Yeah!” said Tsubaki and Akemi.

“As you all know, I was very interested in soccer because my father had been an amateur soccer player, playing in a local league” said Akemi.

“And because of that, the two of us have come up a great idea to make our fantasy going lit! It will be nice if you guys will watch our fantasy if we’re on a different world” said Tsubaki.

“Well, I can count on that, Tsubaki-san, however, different worlds have their own desires to take and everyone had to show their ideas to execute before they play it out for themselves” said Tsuyoshi.

“Your fantasy would be the top of our list to, but we don’t have magic since we’re in the real world. You can make a script if you want to have a great soccer game in your hands” said Kuriko.

“Sure, we would” said Tsubaki.

“Absolutely like it, Kuriko!” said Akemi.

“It’s not always magic that we will use when we have our own ideas to take, but we’ll make sure that we want to spice it up and make that very interesting!” said Tsubaki.

“Hopefully, you’ll be surprised when we have this come out into the play like a role play” said Akemi.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Tsuyoshi and Kuriko.

“I’m sure that you’ll be up for this, girls, and hopefully, you’ll have your plan coming if we can do that outdoors” said Ryōtarō.

“Yeah!” said Tsubaki and Akemi.

“Now, onto the next pair!” said Kuriko.

“We have Koharu and Yuriko! Show your fantasy!” said Tsuyoshi.

“Okay, Tsuyoshi-sama!” said Koharu and Yuriko as it’s their turn to share about their fantasy. Koharu Hanazawa goes first to explain about her and Yuriko’s fantasy. “I want to make it historical when it comes to war and my brother Keita loves Japanese history. So, if I want to make a fantasy, then I say that I want to make a mock flag game.” Koharu had a brother named Keita, who is a third year middle school student from the Tamagawa Gakuen Middle School.

“A mock flag game would be a clash between two or more groups battling for the flag and it’s more on liberation vs. surrender because it’s a fight that engages one way to another just like how it happened in two World Wars” said Yuriko Hagiwara.

“The goal for this is to get the flag at the top of the mountain and it’s going to hard if you want to overcome the obstacles out there” said Koharu.

“For us, we want to see some action out there, so that it will make the game more intense because it’s all for the marbles that everyone has to fight for the flag to get. So, if you get the flag, let your opponents surrender” said Yuriko.

“Well, that one was simply classic to say the least and I’m feeling grateful if we can have that” said Ryōtarō.

“Of course, I believe so, Ryōtarō. The flag game was used in the sports festival every year and we did that since we’re good enough to fight for the flag and win it for your group” said Kuriko.

“Yeah, I heard about those from my brother and this one is really tough to get because you have to fight against someone else before trying to get the flag” said Koharu.

“And it’s going to be much better if you want to scrape them away by formalizing a plan” said Yuriko.

“I bet that your idea may be used for team building and training purposes since that one may test your strength and stamina. Your ability in running would be improved if you have found a way to settle the odds in getting the flag. That way, anyone will get earned for sure” said Tsuyoshi.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Koharu and Yuriko.

“We’ll be making sure that everyone will be ready to fight for the flag” said Koharu.

“And it’s going to be more serious like the way it happened in the past” said Yuriko.

“Of course, Yuriko. It will be more serious to make this competition going wild” said Kuriko.

“And I’m sure that you’re going to make your friends having fun with each other when the competition is up” said Tsuyoshi.

“Yeah!” said Koharu and Yuriko.

“Now that the sixth graders are done, it’s time to move on to the next set of pairs, which will be the first year middle schoolers” said Ryōtarō.

“That’s right, Ryōtarō! We’ll start with Sachiko and Chihiro and then, moving up to another set of pairs namely Mayumi and Azusa, Itsuko and Nobumasa, Tomoyo and Seiko and last but the least, the trio of Asami, Mika and Toshikazu” said Kuriko.

“Yeah, I agree with that, Kuriko-san! Let’s get this over with as here comes Sachiko and Chihiro!” said Tsuyoshi.

“Show your ideas of fantasy, you two!” said Kuriko.

“Okay!” said Sachiko and Chihiro as they will be sharing about their own fantasy. Sachiko Eguchi would go first to share. “Ever since I was a little child, my dream is to explore in space because I want to see the stars shining bright above us and that’s why me and Chihiro have seen the stars very night before we’ll go to sleep.”

“And so, we come up a big plan as in our world, we want to explore different planets to colonize and of course, you never forget that our group, the Strike and Twirl, will be making a colony for ourselves” said Chihiro Nakayama.

“That’s right, Chihiro-san! Our group will be owning a colony to settle and we will govern in our own way. Back then, we’ll be fighting for more land to get, so that we’ll be able to dominate for sure” said Sachiko.

“It’s good that you had your own ambition to explore in space, Sachiko. I really like that one!” said Ryōtarō.

“Yeah! Looking at the stars every night was a good thing for your dream to make it one day because it shines bright over you” said Kuriko.

“True, Kuriko-san. I’m very optimistic to look at the stars at night with my friends because it makes me so motivated that I want to let them shine to make sure they’ll be gleaming for me. It’s so great that I had an ambition that I want to explore in space, which means that I started to imagine a lot of things to come up with and living in a space would be a great thing to start our own saga” said Sachiko.

“Well, starting a new saga would be great to have your mission to settle your own home in space, Sachiko-san. I say that you and Chihiro will look forward to share a dream to us when you have created a dream to make because it’s nice that you’ll have a lot of plans to create your own story about colonizing a land and it’s going to be a challenge that you want to represent for them at the same time” said Tsuyoshi.

“Yes, of course, Tsuyoshi-san! Our dream is different than the other dreams that they have because we want to imagine ourselves to settle a new life in space and hopefully, we’ll have some bigger plans to make if we want to visualize our dream for sure” said Sachiko.

“The two of us will be ready to make the moves when we want to make some space stuff to everyone, so that you’re all aboard to explore in our imagination” said Chihiro.

“Well, I would love to see that, guys!” said Ryōtarō.

“Yeah, me too! It will be awesome that you’re going to have some good stuff to show it to us!” said Kuriko.

“I’ll look forward into this, Sachiko-san and Chihiro-san. If we want to join your dream, then it will be fun to explore it out!” said Tsuyoshi.

“Yeah!” said Sachiko and Chihiro.

“Next up, we’ll have Mayumi and Azusa” said Kuriko.

“I hope that you had found something imaginable to share” said Ryōtarō.

“Now, tell us your dream” said Tsuyoshi.

“Sure, we would be glad to, Tsuyoshi-san!” said Mayumi and Azusa as they are ready to share their dream. Mayumi Kodaira would go first to share. “For our dream, imagine, we are in the garden and then, you have a lot of things to inspire out there. And so, in our way, we want to make something friendly in the garden because me and Azusa have been friendly to our allies in our community and that’s why it would be great if we want our garden to be a friendly zone for fun!”

“In our garden, we will be building some magnificent places that grew flowers and plants. Plus, we’ll be making a basketball court and archery range for everyone to test their skills in basketball and archery” said Azusa Kawanami.

“Also, every season, we change themes and so, you’re going to see a lot of seasonal flowers and plants where it blooms one season to another” said Mayumi.

“We’ll make sure that you’re going to gleam those because we want them to bloom before you” said Azusa.

“Now that’s a good dream that you have, girls! I would be expecting to see some animals out there to take care of them” said Ryōtarō.

“Or putting some playground for your little friends out there to enjoy” said Kuriko.

“Well, we can do that if we want to, guys” said Mayumi.

“Yeah! We always want to take care of everything in the garden, so that we don’t want to be in trouble” said Azusa.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Tsuyoshi, Kuriko and Ryōtarō.

“That idea of yours was so stupendous because you want to have a friendly place for everyone to enjoy. I really believe that you’re going to have one soon in the future once you’ll be able to have your chance to make your own dream” said Tsuyoshi.

“Making a garden would be nice for us to relax and enjoy and it gives good vibes too!” said Kuriko.

“I hope that you’re going to make something beautiful to place in your dream because it’s all about the beautiful and colorful things to represent for” said Ryōtarō.

“Yeah, we will!” said Mayumi and Azusa.

“Now, down to the last three, guys! Let’s move on to the next one!” said Ryōtarō.

“Yes, it is, Ryōtarō! Let’s give it up for Itsuko and Nobumasa as they’re the next pair to share their fantasy!” said Kuriko.

“Yeah! Share it to us right now!” said Tsuyoshi.

“Okay!” said Itsuko and Nobumasa as they are about to share their own ideas of fantasy to everyone. Itsuko Maekawa goes first to share. “For our dream, we’re in the restaurant with a lot of young students wanting to cater for entertainment and food. This is where we and our friends are going to perform songs to make them feel relaxed.”

“But that’s not all. We will give them some freebies if they want to participate in our games. That way, they’ll be blessed if they will prove themselves against us” said Nobumasa Shirogane. Nobumasa is not related to Miyuki Shirogane of Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai ~Tensaitachi no Ren'ai Zunousen~/Kaguya-sama: Love is War.

“That’s why when it comes to food and music, everyone needs to be in joy to relax themselves while eating their food and of course, you’ll never miss the beat when we’re going to entertain them” said Itsuko.

“Well, that was a nice dream plan of yours, Itsuko and Nobumasa. I think that your imagination of entertaining people would be nice for you to make them feel good while eating their food” said Ryōtarō.

“It reminds me of the Supernova Express, which was owned by the father of my friend Tsuneko Yoshikawa, where their employees have entertained the customers for fun!” said Kuriko.

“You said it, Kuriko! I want to inspire that, so that we want to our friends and allies to have fun with us because this is what we do to make them feel happy!” said Itsuko.

“It makes us feel motivated that we want to entertain them because we’ll make sure that they’ll be feeling optimistic to see our performance and it would be great if they impress us” said Nobumasa.

“Then, I believe that you’re going to have some time to make that dream turn into a reality one day, you two. You’ll be blessed to have that if you and your friends will work together to make your allies out there feeling good” said Tsuyoshi.

“Yeah! You can come up some fantastic ideas by brainstorming it before you’ll have the right time to execute” said Ryōtarō.

“I’m sure that you’re going to prepare those when we’re going to organize a summer jam for our friends and allies to come. That way, they’ll be thrilled to see your plan coming through” said Kuriko.

“Yeah, we will!” said Itsuko and Nobumasa.

“So, what do you think, Kuriko? We’re about to move on to the second to the last pair?” asked Ryōtarō.

“You got it, Ryōtarō! Now, it’s time for Tomoyo and Seiko to share their fantasy!” said Kuriko.

“You bet, Kuriko-san! Show your dream plan, you two!” said Tsuyoshi.

“Sure!” said Tomoyo and Seiko as they were the second to the last pair to share for tonight’s sharing time. Tomoyo Akaike goes first to share. “When it comes to fun, everyone wants to get out and show their energy to enjoy their day. That’s why in our dream, we have owned an amusement park where the fun begins at!”

“That’s right, Tomoyo! Everyone in the community wants to have fun at the amusement park as we’ll offer them some free rides in the first hour before we’re going to ask them to pay at normal price” said Seiko Harasaki.

“And in addition to that, we’ll be putting up a food stand for everyone, so that they’ll gonna pay for food like popcorns, candies and more sweets to eat!” said Tomoyo.

“Then, we’re going to entertain them by watching the movie or magic show. Our friends will be making those, so that everyone will be able to see the magic and thrill as they want to witness them for themselves” said Seiko.

“Whoa! Your idea was so amazing! Owning an amusement park would be so nice to make everyone getting their fun for real!” said Ryōtarō.

“Yeah! I say that you two want to build some fun with your friends and allies, so that they’ll be able to enjoy their day by taking rides and participating games. It’s going to be great that you want them to be feeling energized and optimistic to have fun” said Kuriko.

“Yes, we are, Kuriko! I come up with that idea because it reminds me of my young age when me and my cousins have played some games and bought foods at the carnival. It brought some memories for me to remember before I finally got a chance to emulate it for ourselves” said Tomoyo.

“Yep! The two of us were known for fun time when we’re done on assignments and house chores and since we’re the only girls that are always energizing for real, we want to be more motivated to invite everyone to have some fun for a day. It will be amazing that our dream will be even better for everyone to come because we’ll about to see their smiles and moments that they’ll never forget!” said Seiko.

“Well, you two have some fun with your friends and when I saw you two getting their fun time with them, I feel motivated to see your smiles out there. It makes me so blessed to see how the friendship of yours doing great right now. So, I hope that you’ll have your inspiration when you’re going to have that dream in no time because in our group, there’s always a blessing for everyone to step up and represent” said Tsuyoshi.

“Yeah, we agree, Tsuyoshi! We’ll keep our promise to make our dreams come true for sure!” said Tomoyo and Seiko, which makes Tsuyoshi smiling on his face.

“Okay, go for it, girls! I knew that you can count on us to have fun and it’ll be great to see what you’re planning for your friends. I’ll see if you have found something inspirational” said Tsuyoshi.

“Yeah!” said Tomoyo and Seiko.

“Well, we’re down to the last set before we’ll have time to relax and enjoy. What do you think?” said Ryōtarō.

“Yes, it is, Ryōtarō. I can’t wait that we’re going to relax together while celebrating this night as this one may be more beautiful to conclude this Golden Week celebration” said Kuriko.

“You said it!” said Tsuyoshi and Ryōtarō before the former asks Asami. “Asami-san, you’re last to share. Tell us about your dream.”

“You got it, Tsuyoshi-san!” said Asami as she, Mika and Toshikazu are going to share their ideas of fantasy. “So, guys, when we whispered out, we talked about my own world where the devils lived there. I like to dream with that because it gives me some motivation to interact with them because they like to do anything we want. As humans, we have our own desires to make good deeds for everyone and I want my own world to do the same thing, but the big thing is that I want to make a friendly relationship between us and the devis.”

“Interesting dream that you have, Asami!” said Tomoyo.

“Yeah, I think that your world be different compared to ours” said Itsuko.

“Devils are more daring to anything for themselves” said Mayumi.

“They can show their passion and pride to make sure that they’ll bless them” said Sachiko.

“Not only for that, they’ll inspire everyone who wants to make friends with everyone” said Koharu.

“Yes, I agree, girls! That’s why in our world, it feels great that we want to make the devils more friendly to make sure that they’ll become compassionate to everyone just like we did in our real world” said Asami.

“That’s right, Asami-san! In our own world, devils have their own paths of whether they’re undead or not just like in various anime releases” said Mika.

“But the real thing is that we want them to be more comfortable to everyone even our enemies such as rivals from the neighboring side or invaders from different cities. It’s better if we can welcome them, but they have to discipline themselves” said Toshikazu.

“I think that your world had to be more peaceful if they want to treat the devils well” said Seiko.

“Yeah! I really want them to share their laughter” said Nobumasa.

“Or make good moments out there” said Chihiro.

“I’m very agreed to those things, guys. Every dream had their own way to make sure that they’re always peaceful time to get and inspirational times to cherish” said Azusa.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Asami, Mika and Toshikazu.

“Also, we can make some celebrations out there for joyful moments and blissful memories. It would be great that we need them to enjoy their day because this is what we do when we’re on the Bravehearts of Setagaya. Right?” said Asami.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Setagaya and the leaders of the mainstream groups that were part of that braveheart group.

“I will be delighted to see that!” said Tomoyo.

“Yeah! Your world will be full of smiles and joys since they’re pretty friendly!” said Itsuko.

“And they’re more adorable too!” said Mayumi.

“Devils or not, they can grow their friendship together!” said Sachiko.

“If I were living in that world, I would love to make new friends out here!” said Koharu.

“Maybe we can make our own selves to treat the devils” said Tsubaki.

“So that, they don’t want to be afraid of us” said Reiko.

“Being friends is what the goal in our group do and that would be great if we can do that!” said Yasue.

“We would be making fun times to do in that world, so that it’s more like a friendly environment with happy faces coming out for sure!” said Nana.

“Everyone will be ready to step things up in a new world, even you’re dreaming out there. That way, it’s going to be a great time to explore something new!” said Yū.

“You got it right, Yū-san!” said Asami with a smile on her face. “Our world will be a happy community that everyone loves and I would be expecting everyone to invite you all because you are part of our braveheart group!”

“And since it’s our dream to make, it’s for everyone’s world to make!” said Mika.

“Absolutely right, Mika-san! It’s going to be awesome that my world will be full of joys and smiles because everyone including the devils will be more confident to show some passion and pride as we will shine together!” said Asami.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Setagaya and the leaders of the mainstream groups that were part of that braveheart group.

“That was a nice share of yours, Asami! I never expect that you want a world that is full of humans and devils” said Ryōtarō.

“A peaceful world with friends and enemies treating together as equals would be a great thing to imagine for a member that has a determination and compassion” said Kuriko.

“It makes me so thrilled that you have shared this, Asami-san! I think that I can go to that dream world of yours because I’m feeling optimistic to see what your world looked like and I’m sure that you and your friends will try to make a compact community to grow like we did! It will grow your friendship with your allies when you’re going to build your extended group” said Tsuyoshi.

“Yes, I agree, Tsuyoshi-san! My world with humans and devils living with each other is more like a paradise and I want to make sure that everyone will have good vibes and blissful lives to make it peaceful” said Asami.

“Well, you’re right about that! I’m very interested to see how dream worlds looked like and if I want to dream myself, I want to visit all those because I had a dream that I want to make a good community for our hometown” said Tsuyoshi.

“WHAT?!” shouted the members of the Bravehearts of Setagaya and the leaders of the mainstream groups that were part of that braveheart group.

“You’re serious about this?!” exclaimed Yū.

“You have your dream too?!” squealed Asami.

“Yep! Ever since I was a little kid, I want to make a community group makes better hopes and dreams because imagine, I was able to create my future by making new friends and allies to make sure that I’m more like a delighted guy. I became the ‘Man of the Hour’ because my schoolmates called me ‘cool’ or ‘smart’ and I admired them. And now, when I had created this braveheart group, I want to make sure that you’re all feeling motivated to create a future and this would great to see you all blessed and inspired because it’s so nice that we have gotten along with each other to have fun.”

“Yeah! I believe that fun is where begins at!” said Tomoyo.

“When it comes to fun, we have to show our pride and energy to make us feel good!” said Itsuko.

“That way, we’ll be very comfortable to have our future going well!” said Asami.

“Yeah, I agree!” said Tsuyoshi while Kuriko and Ryōtarō nod their heads in agreement. “I will be more motivated to have you all because you’re all part of our family. Right?”

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Setagaya while the leaders of the mainstream groups that were part of that braveheart group have nodded their heads in agreement.

“That’s why our dream will start here until we’ll finally have them come true” said Tsuyoshi.

“Yep! I agree with that, Tsuyoshi! It feels great that we’re all gathering together to celebrate this activity and of course, you’re all here because we’re going to keep our hopes and dreams to be filled” said Kuriko.

“And we’ll have to make sure that we’re going to shine together as a team!” said Ryōtarō.

“Hopefully, by the end of the day, we’re all set for our next chapter to write as a braveheart group. So, let’s shine together…” said Tsuyoshi before the rest of the Bravehearts of Setagaya and the leaders of the mainstream groups that were part of that braveheart group joining with him as they shout together in unison. “…as one family of bravehearts for our hometown in Setagaya!”

“Now, let’s relax and enjoy this celebration, everyone!” said Tsuyoshi.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Setagaya and the leaders of the mainstream groups that were part of that braveheart group while raising their tea cups as a symbol of continuous friendship between each other.

A Special Message from Shizuku Ōsaka

Hi, everyone! I’m Shizuku Ōsaka of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and I would like to welcome you to the month of March where everything is blooming with joy and courage. After the month of February had just been concluded a few days, the month of March will be more thrilling and more exciting as it is the time for every flower and tree to bloom for springtime, which means that everyone is excited to show their smile and make themselves motivate. For me, I used to smile because I’m always confident to show my passion to my fellow club members and I had been entrusted by them, so that I can always help them for sure. Even I’m part of the Drama Club, I always stand up to support for my fellow club members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club because they were so harmonious and admired to help with each other and I’m very happy to see them for sure! When I’m involved with them, I always help them to make sure that we’re ready to perform together and shine with our own way! It feels so good that I have been part of it and I’m very excited to see what’s next for us! Now, as you all know, the next update of the Red Section Series will be coming up next and it’s going to be more focused on Setsuna’s own world of idol democracy where what if she and her friends from the student council and allies have led in a world of idol democracy that is run by idols, fans and producers. It sounded like they have their own way to act and lead, but you’ll be surprised that she’ll be sharing about her own world of idol democracy to not just only her friends on her side, but the other from the Kotosei Academy, the male counterpart of our school. So, get ready to see those when you’ll return to March 7 (Sunday) for this wonderful and beautiful update.

Until then, I’ll see you on March 7 (Sunday) for our side chapter, everyone!

UP NEXT: Red Section-Chapter 20: “Idol Democracy: Side Melody”

I want to make this chapter something traditional for the Bravehearts of Setagaya because they are following their one goal in their lives: virtue. As a result, they want to celebrate the end of the Golden Week celebration by organizing a traditional tea ceremony in the Inagaki Residence, the home of Asami Inagaki. I found it unique because they will be able to relax and relieve themselves by drinking a tea. After I have initially stopped writing on this because I have run out of time to complete this quickly, I have finally finished this through a swift when I found some more ideas for the rest of the members of the Bravehearts of Setagaya and the leaders of the remaining mainstream groups. I hope that you find it challenging to make a longer update because I have to make sure that this update will be completed as possible before hitting the deadline, which gladly I'm posting this today!:D By the end of the day, the Bravehearts of Setagaya are ready to make their dreams come true once they’ll take some action to make those happen.:) The next update will be focusing on the friends of Setsuna Yūki, a member of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, as they’re going to discover about the idol democracy in Setsuna’s own world. Just like Side Chapter 7, which was focused on Maki Nishikino, you’re going to see what that idol democracy would be like in Setsuna’s own vision. I know that I like Setsuna because she’s very passionate to represent the school idol club, but she’ll be very delighted to share something that dives you out for sure!:) After that, I’ll be posting the next schedule of the updates of the Red Section Series, so that you’re going to see what the next set of updates will be posted on when you want to check out for more updates of this series. I’ll see you on March 7 (Sunday) for the next update of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts!

In case on what’s going on about today’s update, I want this update to be more coincidental to connect with the storyline of the anime adaption of Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club because it’s part of my new plans that I want my Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts series being developed on braveheart-school idol partnership in only three Love Live! home areas: Chiyoda (the home of µ’s), Numazu (the home of Aqours) and Minato (the home of Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and Liella!; the latter shares their hometown with Shibuya). That way, all future updates that are related to the anime adaption of NijiGaku will be reflected to the events that happened in their storyline. For example, today’s update, which is Chapter 20, takes place in between Episodes 2 and 3 because the latter had majorly focused on Setsuna Yūki and it’s going to be great I want to have this update being related to that episode to reflect on Setsuna’s leadership as the president of the Nijigasaki Academy High School Student Council. Of course, you’ll be surprised that I’ll be working on something that I have developed in this series in the future, so that I want to make Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts getting more focused on developing new friendships and partnerships being made in different places in Japan. So, get ready to see some of the new updates that are going to be focused on braveheart-school idol partnership, which in the next updates, you’ll be seeing some of them that are being focused on that one!:)

By the way, this update will be dedicated to two NijiGaku seiyus, Hinaki Yano and Kaede Hondo, and one Liella! seiyu, Nako Misaki. Last March 5 (Friday) was the birthday of Hinaki, yesterday (March 6) was the birthday of Kaede and tomorrow (March 8) will be the birthday of Nako. Hinaki and Nako were both born in Hyōgo while Kaede comes out from Aichi. Hinaki is a member of DUSTY FRUITS CLUB (current) and Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku (former) and the voice actress of Yu Takasaki, the protagonist of Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, and Momoe Sawaki, one of the protagonists of Wonder Egg Priority. She’s also a close friend of both Aguri Ōnishi (the voice actress of Ayumu Uehara), Mayu Sagara (the voice actress of Kasumi Nakasu) and Tomori Kusunoki (the voice actress of Setsuna Yūki) due to her good friendship with them when they were acting together in the anime adaption of Love Live!

Superstar!!, which will be released by late 2021!;) Belated happy birthday, Hinaki and Kaede, and advanced happy birthday, Nako!:) Also, tomorrow (March 8) is not only the birthday of Nako, but it is also the birthday of Sakura Toriumi from Angel’s 3Piece! Sakura is a childhood friend of Kyō Nukui (CV: Yūki Inoue) and is working in a bread and pastry shop called Saonis ~ Lien de Famille. She is voiced by Kanae Itō. Advanced happy birthday, Sakura!:) With that said, it’s time to shout out, dive and shine as I’ll be posting today’s update featuring Setsuna Yūki and the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club!;)

EDIT (4/25): Aside from these birthday celebrants above, there are two more birthday celebrants that I have added as those two were from IDOLY PRIDE, namely Mirai Tachibana and Nao Sasaki. Mirai’s birthday was last March 5, the same day that Hinaki Yano celebrated her birthday, while Nao’s birthday was last March 6, the same day that Kaede Hondō celebrated her birthday. Because of that, I will be adding both Mirai and Nao to the names that will be dedicated for this update. Mirai is the voice actress of Kotono Nagase, the younger sister of Mana Nagase (CV: Sayaka Kanda), while Nao is the voice actress of Haruko Saeki. Both Kotono and Haruko are members of Hoshimi Production, a small talent agency in the fictional city of Hoshimi, an area located in the suburbs of Kanto. When it comes to sub-units, they were separated from each other as Kotono had joined Tsuki no Tempest while Haruko had joined Sunny Peace. Hopefully, both Mirai and Nao will continue to make progress of their voice acting career as they will be continuing to represent Hoshimi Production for IDOLY PRIDE. Belated happy birthday, Mirai and Nao!:)

Today’s update will be focused on Setsuna Yūki of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club as she and her fellow club members will share about her ideas of idol democracy in her own world to her fellow friends. Like Chapter 7, which was focused on Maki Nishikino, you’re gonna see what’s in depth of Setsuna’s ideas of idol democracy in her own world as well as the participants that have been involved in that world when they’re about to elect their leaders in their own country. Of course, her friends are gleamed and excited about this as they wanted to discover those ideas that Setsuna had, so that they will be motivated to explore in that fantasy world that was played out by Setsuna and her fellow club members. I’m also going to include the description of the student politics of the Nijigasaki Academy High School because in the anime, it only mentioned the student council with Setsuna (acting as Nana Nakagawa) being the student council president. So, you’re gonna see a lot of things to explore in Setsuna’s world of idol democracy and some events that happened in real-life student politics in the Nijigasaki Academy High School. Now, if you’re ready to shout out, dive and shine with Setsuna, then you’ll be thrilled to witness her passion of being a school idol for sure as here comes the twentieth side chapter of the Red Section Series with the title, “Idol Democracy: Side Melody”! Enjoy reading the twentieth side chapter of the Red Section Series!:)

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES
CHAPTER 20: “IDOL DEMOCRACY: SIDE MELODY

Date: May 9, 2010 (Sunday)

This side chapter is focused on the friends of Setsuna Yūki as they were invited by Setsuna and her fellow groupmates from the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club for a meeting at the room of Setuna in the dormitory of the Nijigasaki Academy High School.

At the room of Setsuna in the dormitory of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, the friends of Setsuna were sitting in the floor with Setsuna and her fellow members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club as they want to know about Setsuna’s ideas of idol democracy. The female friends of Setsuna were from the Nijigasaki Academy High School while the male friends of Setsuna were from the Kotosei Academy High School.

Nijigasaki High School Idol Club: Ayumu Uehara, Kasumi Nakasu, Shizuku Ōsaka, Karin Asaka, Ai Miyashita, Kanata Konoe, Setsuna Yūki, Emma Verde, Rina Tennōji and Yu Takasaki

Friends of Setsuna Yūki: Keiko Aragaki, Chizuru Tominaga, Natsuko Miyasaka, Teruko Ishigumi, Mitsuki Takebe, Chiaki Takanashi, Aoi Kono, Fūka Kageyama, Tomoko Kiyokawa, Takako Kiyokawa, Satsuki Naruse, Aika Yasuhara, Haruka Miyamoto, Akihiro Morikawa, Keita Hanazono, Sora Yamaguchi, Rentarō Takatsuki and Yoshitsugu Nakashima

“It’s so great you’re all here in my room because me and my fellow groupmates will share about something that you’ll explore in a different world” said Setsuna.

“That’s right, Setsuna-chan! We’ll be talking about Setsuna’s ideas of idol democracy where you’re gonna take a look at her ideas on idol democracy” said Ayumu.

“Each of us had their own path of running for idol politics, which we start thinking about those ideas after we explored about the visions of idol democracy that was made possible by most characters from THE IDOLM@STER” said Shizuku.

“In case you didn’t know, we started working on this where each of us visualize on what the world of idol democracy would be like and we decided to build different worlds that will represent us” said Ai.

“The idol democracy was based on the think tank made by Haruka Amami, Uzuki Shimamura and some popular girls from THE IDOLM@STER where they want to lead their own world if they have the desire to run and represent their own party” said Kasumi.

“And so, most girls from Love Live! have decided to do the same thing, but the difference is that they added the elements of the political parties that were created by the girls of THE IDOLM@STER to make their ideas more complex and more interesting” said Karin.

“Even though some of us don’t know about the ideas being made by those from THE IDOLM@STER, we have our own statement to show what people they want and they want to show support on us” said Rina.

“Honoka and Chika told us that the idol democracy is not always the path of making the difference, but to help the community in bringing more love of school idols. We don’t expect that the idols are always coming out for fun, but they need to show their smiles to make them happy to get along with and everyone will end up following them” said Emma.

“It’s fun that idols need followers to make them happy and it’s going to be amazing that they want to make the idols more popular and show their pride for them” said Kanata.

“And when we’re talking about our own idol democracy, we have so many ideas thst we come up with. For example, some of us want to represent for better reforms that they want to make progress for their country while the others want to support a group of people that they advocate for the New Wave politics that takes place most of Tokyo Metropolis” said Yu.

“That’s why for today’s sharing, I’ll be showing you my world of idol democracy because you’re ready to see a lot of things that you may surprise you!” said Setsuna.

“So, sit back, relax and enjoy this sharing, everyone!” said Ayumu.

“I hope you like it!” said Shizuku.

“Yeah!” said the close friends of Setsuna.

“Now, my world of idol democracy is focused on balancing the ideas that have been made by bigger names such as me, Haruka Miyamoto, Keita Hanazono, Aoi Kono and the goes on. The idea of this is that I want to look on what they want to represent and I decided that I created the three divisions of my world of idol democracy” said Setsuna.

“So, what are the three divisions of your world of idol democracy?” asked Keiko Aragaki.

“The three division that I have made for my world of idol democracy are: (1) representing for the elites, (2) representing for the ‘outsiders’ and (3) representing for the non-elites that have been classified as middle class” said Setsuna.

“Well, I’m going to say that the three divisions have been inspired from the recent elections in our school, Setsuna-san!” said Keiko.

“That’s where you and your opponents have debated for what our school needs and wants for this year” said Aoi Kono.

“It may different to state that the future of our school may be either going for a better change or retain the way they have last year” said Chizuru Tominaga.

“But I’m sure that you have brought those ideas right after you become the President fo the Student Council” said Natsuko Miyasaka.

“Yep! I agree with that, girls! In the elections, last February, I was representing my own party known as the Rainbow Party. Its name is to represent the rainbow that was seen in the Rainbow Bridge and I was gratified that I’m going to become a candidate for President because I was able to give the members their ideas to make it imaginable and I was repsected by them. The Rainbow Party was founded ever since the foundation of our school and they have been challenged by other parties every election” said Setsuna.

“This year, there are three parties that competed against the Rainbow Party” said Ai.

“First up, the Resolution Party. The party that was supported by middle-class students who were in favor of balancing the policies that they want and don’t want” said Kasumi.

“The next one is the Harmony Party. It is a party of ‘outsiders’ that are not mostly coming from Minato, but a few of them were exchange students” said Shizuku.

“And finally, the Flame Party. It is a group of liberal reformists and they have been in favor of changing the way Nijigasaki had by making new ideas to make our school going to shine for their future” said Ayumu.

“Setsuna had been the candidate for the presidency of the student council this year. You remember that?” said Kanata.

“Yeah!” said the close friends of Setsuna.

“We were supporting her ticket because she had campaigned for the better future of Nijigasaki” said Keiko.

“The campaign had been paid off, not only that they were supported by the elite students in our school” said Aoi.

“But the students that are interested in making Nijigasaki more popular that was used to right now” said Chizuru.

“Everyone in our school knows that the Rainbow Party had been very dominant when it comes to creating their future for the students to follow the example of striving for better change and they have paid it off in the elections” said Natsuko.

“Yep! We agree!” said the members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.

“So, Setsuna had been competing against three opponents namely Minori Fukuhara (Resolution), Shino Miyaji (Harmony) and Hinako Aiba (Flame)” said Kanata.

“It was one of the most competitive races in the student council history because Setsuna was at that time being a first year high school student while the rest were in second year” said Emma.

“The five of us have voted for Setsuna because we believe that she will make the difference for our future” said Karin.

“A lot of people have said that Setsuna may be the youngest candidate to win the presidency and it happened right now” said Ai.

“She defeated Minori, Shino and Hinako in a landslide victory with the margin of 11%, making her the new President for the first half of this school year” said Ayumu.

“That’s why I became more confident that I will lead Nijigasaki because I can do to make my student council shine for more” said Setsuna.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the close friends of Setsuna.

“By the way, about the three divisions, how they involve for your world?” asked Akihiro Morikawa.

“And how they will apply to the support of the people in your world?” asked Keita Hanazono.

“Wow! That’s too many questions to ask, boys! But I’ll answer those right now” said Setsuna.

“Okay!” said Akihiro and Keita.

“So, the three divisions will fight out for the balance between the higher class, the middle class and the lower class. As far as concerned, the ‘outsiders’ are the main issue with the three classes because they thought that they want to be part of them, but they want to make the change of their own” said Setsuna.

“The concern about this is that they believe that they want to be part of either of the three, but they seemed to be lacking support on them” said Ai.

“Thus, the ‘outsiders’ were trying to upsurp the elites, so that they have their power to rule with different ways, so that they’ll finally get their chance to balance the way the classes being divided into” said Ayumu.

“Well, I’m a middle class student, girls, but there are some constant problems that take place between the middle class and the ‘outsiders’ because those ‘outsiders’ are not all coming from the areas near the bigger cities” said Akihiro.

“But they also come from the countryside” said Keita.

“So, when we classify the ‘outsiders’, they wanted to represent their own class, but they want to reform anything” said Sora Yamaguchi.

“It reminds us of some small groups that they want to represent in the political world” said Rentarō Takatsuki.

“They want to revise the idea of the classes because they find it disgusting” said Yoshitsugu Nakashima.

“Yeah, that’s true, boys. The ‘outsiders’ have been complicated with the classes being made because they wanted to prove that they want to represent for the small areas that are basically near the big cities” said Setsuna.

“A lot of small areas were existed in Japan and they have formed small communities to represent them” said Ai.

“And when we’re talking about Setsuna’s world of idol democracy, they will assure that they want to build a group that they demand for re-classification. That way, this will challenge all classes in that world” said Ayumu.

“So, does that mean the outsiders may have to participate in political activities because they want to balance the way the classes being formed?” asked Haruka.

“Yep!” said Ayumu, Ai and Setsuna.

“That’s why it’s going to be a hard competition between those classes because if they escalate to a worse situation, it may be difficult to resolve” said Setsuna.

“So, the only way to settle this is to make an election to prove which group had been the best and that’s what we’re going to talk about right now” said Ayumu.

“Yeah, Ayumu-san, I agree!” said Setsuna before explaining about how the election woks in her world of idol democracy. “My world of idol democracy has a parliament where they will be represented by any means whether you come from the higher class or the lower class, you’re welcomed to be part of it. I made some ideas on this and I had created the blueprints on it.”

“What would be composed of?” asked Keiko.

“It will be composed of at least 85 seats to be elected through a first-past-the-post election format. However, some places may end up electing more than 100, which means that they have their own formats as well” said Setsuna.

“For Minato, it will be composed of 126 seats and the only way to make your party becoming a majority group is to reach 64 seats” said Ayumu.

“Everything else have their own numbers such as Chiyoda getting 117, Shinagawa getting 120, Setagaya getting 124 and the list goes on” said Ai.

“For the prefectural parliaments, Tokyo will get 675 seats while the prefectures near Tokyo will get about 500 to 600 seats” said Kasumi.

“Some areas will end up getting more than 400 seats if their population is bigger while small prefectures will end up getting 350” said Shizuku.

“In some prefectural parliaments, they have their own sectors like foreign sector and Christian sector” said Emma.

“Which will be used to represent the foreigners and Japanese Christians” said Karin.

“The Idol Parliaments hold elections every four years to determine their leaders and they can meet with each other in a world leader’s forum” said Kanata.

“They can discuss about the situations that happened in different places and they have to find the solution to those if they can make the right direction to make the people happy” said Rina.

“As soon as the Parliament starts the session, they will be ready to take action to proposing new plans to create a wonderful future in their home” said Yu.

“I believe that the Idol Parliament may bring ideas to take up because they want to make the people satisfy with them” said Aoi.

“Each problem needs to be solved by making plans that it should be good for everyone” said Keiko.

“And to be honest, everyone had to vote whether they like it or not, so that it will be pushed through” said Chizuru.

“The more that they vote for it, the better that one plan may be done in a jiffy” said Natsuko.

“That’s going to make everyone happy!” said Haruka.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.

“The Idol Parliaments are always going to make directions to make sure that their community will be full of smiles and loves. That’s why they have to make the difference to act together for a better change” said Setsuna.

“Every election will always change the landscape of the Idol Parliaments and it’s going to be more like a revolution that will shape the community even better” said Ayumu.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the close friends of Setsuna.

“The next part will be the political parties that will be involved on Setsuna’s world of idol democracy, starting with the competitive parties that are present in every election” said Ai.

“The first one is of course, the Melody Party. She made that party to represent her own circle of friends and she believes that they want to shine for better change and to support her idol career” said Shizuku.

“The Melody Party was very diverse with people that supported liberalism” said Karin.

“Or progressivism” said Kanata.

“That’s why the Melody Party became the center of moderate parties in Setsuna’s world of idol democracy because they want to be involved in following Setsuna’s career of being a school idol and visualize the way the student council in our school did with their own bright ideas” said Rina.

“Other than that, they’re going to build better partnerships to show their love for her” said Emma.

“I’m liking that name! The Melody Party may be called ‘everyone’s party’ to make the difference for the future” said Keiko.

“Hopefully, I would get involved in that if she’s going to build her own party in the future” said Aoi.

“Yeah, I agree, Keiko-san and Aoi-san!” said Setsuna before explaining the next set of political parties in her world of idol democracy. “The next ones are based on the recent elections for our school’s student council. They were the Resolution Party, the Harmony Party and the Flame Party. The Resolution Party is a party of middle-class people and they want to represent for the people that they want to step up and get involved in supporting for balancing with the other classes.”

“And on the other hand, the Harmony Party is a party that are not only for people that are coming from the countryside or smaller areas near bigger cities, but it also welcomes foreign residents that they want to represent for the neutrality between the them and the pure residents in the country” said Ayumu.

“One thing that you find something coincidental is that the Harmony Party becomes a party for small community leaders because they want to represent their own class, so that they want to settle with the other classes to resolve their problems” said Shizuku.

“Which also includes racial discrimination and internal conflicts between two or more nationalities” said Emma.

“The Harmony Party becomes popular in western Japan because that’s where a lot of foreign residents live there, but to be honest, the leaders of smaller areas in Kansai, Chugoku and Shikoku were the true leaders that they want to campaign for a real change” said Kasumi.

“And the Flame Party is a political party that they want to shine their community with brighter ideas that the people want. Most leaders from Tokai have been motivated to follow their own path of making their community being blessed by their own means” said Rina.

“It started as a local party based in Shizuoka and Gifu because their leaders from smaller areas want to make their party to represent their ideas to bring both prefrectures getting their attention for their residents to join. However, it becomes a national party due to their popularity had been paid off” said Kanata.

“Not only Tokai became the home of that party, but also, people whose parents born in Tokai have also joined that party that revolutionizes as a party of engaging new ideas to create their future” said Karin.

“All those parties have made it to the Top 3 alongside the Melody Party because they used to compete against them for the control of Idol Parliaments everywhere. That’s why it’s very important that the world of idol democracy needs competition between parties that they want to represent with their own name, especially when they want to support their platforms that create a trend of making the future getting brighter” said Yu.

“The opponents of the Melody Party were not fierce as expected. I like the way they compete for the control of one’s legislature to another” said Teruko Ishigumi.

“It became so clear that the student politics in Nijigasaki have been the core of Setsuna’s world of idol democracy because everyone wants to take action to get involved in making the future of that world” said Mitsuki Takebe.

“If we imagine this to that world, we would be perfect to get involved in trying to make the future of that world getting brighter by making good ideas to come up with” said Chiaki Takanashi.

“It’s not going to be easy to make the world better, but I’m sure that they’re going to witness a revolution that brings shockwaves to everyone” said Fūka Kageyama.

“That’s right, Fūka-san! Each of our worlds had their own trend of revolution, starting from one movement to another and it had been changed since they want to follow the examples of other idols that they want to create the future. It’s going to be nice that we can do anything to show them that we shine for our future” said Setsuna.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the close friends of Setsuna.

“I believe that your world had been engaged in making the future getting brighter” said Haruka.

“I’m so glad that your ideas have been paid off with your own world being the same as our school” said Aoi.

“It would have been better if your world will be a school-based world, but I’m liking that idea, Setsuna-san!” said Keiko.

“Thanks, Keiko-san! I made this while me and my fellow clubmates think about our own idol democracy. If we want to apply this to the world of politics in this world, this will be revolutionizing” said Setsuna.

“Well, I got to say that your ideas have been inspiring us on wanting to lead your own world” said Keiko.

“It may be too early to get involved in politics, but I hope that you’ll lead in the student council to make everyone including us more trust with your platforms” said Aoi.

“Hopefully, you’ll be running for another term to become the President again” said Haruka.

“Oh, sure! I will try my best to make the students of Nijigasaki getting attention to get involved in shining with their way. That way, they’ll be happy to make Nijigasaki more popular!” said Setsuna.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Keiko, Aoi and Haruna.

“So, girls, what about the other political parties that were involved in Setsuna’s world of idol democracy?” asked Tomoko Kiyokawa.

“There were some minor parties that participated in my world of idol democracy such as the Silver Party, the Christian Democratic Party, the Development Party and the Starlight Party” said Setsuna.

“Both Silver Party and Christian Democratic Party were basically dominated by Christians in that world” said Ai.

“They have their own representation through their own platforms. The Silver Party is for the Catholics that visualizes better ideas to represent their own denomination while the Christian Democractic Party is for Christians that supports democratic values” said Ayumu.

“The Deveolopment Party and the Starlight Party are coming from the worlds being made by the girls of THE IDOLM@STER and they have their own paths to represent” said Shizuku.

“The Development Party had been composed of producers and their idols that have been supported by them” said Kasumi.

“While the Starlight Party, as always, is a party of supporters of Haruka Amami” said Rina.

“There were also some parties that represented for regional views such as the One Osaka Party (a local party that supports the interests of the integration of Osaka), the Northern Star Party (a local party that was supported by Hokkaido regionalists), the Fukuoka Wind (a local party that was supported by Fukuoka regionalists) and the Okinawa People’s Party (a local party composed of centre-left and moderate leaders from Okinawa that supports reformism in their prefecture)” said Kanata.

“While in Tokyo, there were a lot of names being listed for the Idol Parliament elections such as the Sakura Party (a social democractic party), the Hope for Tokyo (a right-wing nationalist party), the Reformed Democrats (a reformist and liberal democratic party) and the Musashi Party (a centre-left progressive party). They have been able to capture a few seats in the Idol Parliament, but they weren’t able to get the spotlight in the national level” said Karin.

“All political parties have their own ways to represent because they want to represent for the future of idol democracy. You’ll be surprised that everyone will step up to lead and take action to make their future getting brighter” said Yu.

“Yeah, I agree with that, Yu-san! I believe that the idol democracy had been popular because they want to visualize their ideas in prospering their community and the people want to do anything to show who they really are to support” said Tomoko Kiyokawa.

“It was so nice that the idol democracy had been a trend of making the idols get involved in politics, but when you create your own world with that one, it’s going to be more imaginable like a paradise” said Takako Kiyokawa.

“Yes, it’s indeed a paradise to make the world of idol democracy a better place for everyone to step up and hopefully, you’ll get used to make your own path to act for everyone” said Setsuna.

“Yeah!” said Tomoko and Takako.

“Now, to conclude this sharing, I’ll show you the current election results in my world. In the Japanese Idol Parliament, the Melody Party becomes the largest party with 295 out of 685 seats, thanks to the strongest dominance in Tokyo Metropolis” said Setsuna.

“Then, it would be followed by the Development Party, who gets 146 seats, and the Resolution Party, who receives 86 seats” said Ayumu.

“The Silver Party had a coalition with the Christian Democratic Party to contest for the elections and they ended up winning 33 seats” said Shizuku.

“Harmony placed fifth with 25 seats as the most seats came from Kansai. Harmony also captured seats in Osaka, thanks to them being the largest-voted party over the One Osaka Party” said Kasumi.

“The Generosity Party, a political party that was made by a group of ‘outsiders’ who wanted to distance away from the ideas of the Harmony Party and put support on the Melody Party, receives 20 seats. That result considers them as one of the dark horses that one day will take over the Idol Parliament if they want to keep their supporters’s base for sure” said Rina.

“And last but not the least, the Flame Party received 11 seats with Shizuoka and Gifu being the most” said Kanata.

“The rest of the seats were divided into minor and regionalist parties. The Starlight Party had won 12 seats being the most in the minor parties while One Osaka ends up capturing 10 seats. The foreign seats were mixed between Melody supporters and Resolution supporters” said Emma.

“The Melody Party had formed a coalition agreement with the moderate liberal parties while the Development Party becomes the official opposition” said Karin.

“The Resolution Party aren’t interested to support both Melody and Development, but they supported the platforms of the Melody Party” said Yu.

“By the end of the day, my world of idol democracy had been blessed with better changes and blissful hopes that they want to see and hopefully, I’ll make my world being a paradise for everyone to look up, which they’ll be ready to shine for sure” said Setsuna.

The close friends of Setsuna have clapped their hands after Setsuna finished sharing about her world of idol democracy.

“That was a nice share, Setsuna-san!” said Keiko.

“I’m so glad that your world may be very prospered because of your ideas getting pumped up for us to inspire” said Aoi.

“I hope that your world will continue to make the difference to make sure that it’s peaceful” said Haruka.

“It’s awesome to visit that place for sure because it’s everyone’s world to dream of!” said Akihiro.

“Yeah, that’s true, Akihiro-san! So, when I’ll be planning to continue working on this with my fellow clubmates, you’re all invited to see that world” said Setsuna.

“Yeah, we will!” said the close friends of Setsuna.

“All of us have their own ideas to share with and we believe that we’ll shine our way to make sure that they’ll be smiling to see us” said Ayumu.

“That’s why we’ll do anything to keep us motivate for sure!” said Kasumi.

“I hope that you enjoyed listening to what we shared for today” said Setsuna.

“Yeah!” said the close friends of Setsuna.

“Then, let’s spend the rest of the day by having fun together, everyone!” said Setsuna.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and the close friends of Setsuna. Setsuna had been blessed that she can do anything she wants because she’s a school idol and the President of the Nijigasaki Academy High School Student Council. When Setsuna gets along with her close friends on her side, she’ll make sure that they’ll be gratified and delighted to make her happy and she’ll continue to develop their friendship with them through her pride and passion.

And to make sure that you’re thrilled to shout out, dive and shine with Setsuna, I’ll be posting the profile of the friends of Setsuna Yūki, a member of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. This also includes the members of the Nijigasaki Academy High School Student Council, which two staff members being present. Their vice president Tamiko Takamatsu (CV: Riho Sugiyama) was not appeared in this update because she is coming from a higher level as she is a third year high school student. I also included the boys from the Kotosei Academy High School because they have also become friends with Setsuna since middle school before parting ways to that all-boys high school. Of course, the Nijigasaki Academy High School is exclusively available for girls only while Kotosei Academy High School is exclusively available for boys only.

EDIT #1 (4/21): I didn't know that all of Setsuna's friends were second year high school students, not second year middle school students. I made that mistake when I first posted it.:D So, it's fixed now with the correct year level for each friend of Setsuna.

EDIT #2 (9/26): I made a major update on this profile for the first time in five months, based on the recent that I have posted. First, I changed the spelling of the Nijigasaki Academy High School from "Nijigasaski" to "Nijigasaki" for the female friends of Setsuna. Then, I changed the birthday of Keita Hanazono from February 3 to February 5, the birthday of Emma Verde (CV: Maria Sashide).

Friends of Setsuna Yūki: Keiko Aragaki, Chizuru Tominaga, Natsuko Miyasaka, Teruko Ishigumi, Mitsuki Takebe, Chiaki Takanashi, Aoi Kono, Fūka Kageyama, Tomoko Kiyokawa, Takako Kiyokawa, Satsuki Naruse, Aika Yasuhara, Haruka Miyamoto, Akihiro Morikawa, Keita Hanazono, Sora Yamaguchi, Rentarō Takatsuki and Yoshitsugu Nakashima

Last edited:
Here is the schedule of the next batch of the future updates of the Red Section Series as this will be composed of the next 10 side chapters of this side series. Of these 10 side chapters, three will be from Love Live! School Idol Project including one that is with a relative of one member of a braveheart group that is outside Tokyo and one will be from a different braveheart group that is outside Ōta. The rest will be based in Ōta as it will be composed of five side chapters. Two will be related to two groups that were part of the Rainbow Angels, one will be related to one of the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta, another one will be related to two members of the Family of Angels and the other one will be related to a group that was part of the Tinkle Aurora.

EDIT #1 (3/24): For the first time in two and a half weeks, I made a major update on this schedule because I had updated the title of Red Section-Chapter 25 from "The Sun will Shine for the Future of the Otonokizaka Academy" to "The Sun will Shine for the Future of the Otonokizaka Girls' Academy High School" because I have to update the name of the Otonokizaka Girls' Academy High School, the school that µ’s studied, using its full name. The Otonokizaka Girls' Academy High School is a national girls' high school existed in Love Live! and located in Chiyoda.

EDIT #2 (4/7): I made a major update on this schedule because I had updated the title of Red Section-Chapter 29 from "The Plans to Shine Up for the Red Aurora of Haginaka" to "The Plans to Rise Up for the Future of the Red Aurora of Haginaka" because I didn't know that the word 'aurora' comes the Latin word for dawn, which means 'to become morning'. As a result, I changed it to reflect on the Red Aurora of Haginaka joining the Tinkle Aurora, the extended group of Team Aurora.

EDIT #3 (4/25): I made another major update in this list where I added the birthdays of Sakura Kawasaki, a member of Hoshimi Production, from IDOLY PRIDE, Koharu Miyazawa and Moeko Yūki.

EDIT #4 (4/28): I made another major update in this list as I updated the color of KENN from "#B9B049" to "#303048". This new color will represent for Tamaki Yotsuba of IDOLiSH7 from IDOLiSH7 series.

EDIT #5 (5/9): I made another major update in this list where I updated the color of Yūki Takada, the voice actress of Aoba Sakuraze of NEW GAME! Her color is now updated from "#D3B8E3" to "#B773B0" with her image color being little darker than the original one, which is the hair color of Aoba.

A Post-Chapter Postscript Message from Setsuna Yūki

Hi, everyone! This is Setsuna Yūki of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and I would like to thank everyone for reading this wonderful update as I dived you all to my world of idol democracy. My friends have encouraged me to share this because me and my fellow club members have been doing some role play on idol democracy one time when we don’t have anything to do after finishing our assignments. It was so great that you were all thrilled to see me and my fellow club members share about my world of idol democracy. It means that you have learned everything about that and I’m very happy for you! Now that I have shared that, I want to keep this as part of our club’s plan in trying to set up a worldbuilding with fellow Love Live! girls from µ’s and Aqours and hopefully, we’re going to play it out together when we have some time to do very soon. Of course, one thing that I forgot to mention is that when I was the student council president, I was very compassionate to make my fellow friends from the student council feel motivated and uplifted because they show how they want to build a better progress in my school. It was the goal for the student council to make the students feel prepared and excited for a good day and we have organized some fantastic events in my school as well as some events that were organized by our partners. I’m sure that you have seen that a few times, especially in the anime, when the student council had approved the School Idol Festival during the summer. However, in Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts, it’s not here yet because this series is still in the month of May and of course, if you already watched the anime of our club, then you’re thrilled with me because it’s what school idols to shine and smile! I’m feeling grateful that you have followed me and my fellow club members from the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and of course, you never know that you’re always diving for us! Anyway, I hope you enjoy reading this because I’ll be delighted to cheer you up, so that you’re all thrilled for us and you could be part of us one day to start your dream right here in the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club! Until then, I’ll see you next time for another update that will feature me and the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and keep us shine and smile, everyone!
- Setsuna Yūki (CV. Tomori Kusunoki)

UP NEXT: Red Section-Chapter 21: “The Sister Connection: The Kurosawas and The Maekawas”

Setsuna’s world of idol democracy is basically resembled to the Nijigasaki Academy High School Student Council because she wants to have a fair relationship between the leaders and students to ensure that they’ll work together to make progress of their school. She believes that her world of idol democracy will not only be governed by herself alone, but her friends and allies will be joining with her in making her community shining with blissful smiles and wonderful courage. The Nijigasaki Academy High School Student Council had been doing a great job in making the students of the Nijigasaki Academy full of smiles and motivations and that’s why they’re very thrilled when Setsuna wants them to work together in her world of idol democracy, which results to Setsuna making her own world of idol democracy, composed of not only her friends and allies, but her student council members as well! I find Setsuna being compassionate when she performs her song, “DIVE!” to her fellow club members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, which I finally got an idea of how her world of idol democracy would be like: people with their compassionate personality can lead for a brighter future. I hope that you have been motivated to see Setsuna and the rest of NijiGaku sharing her world of idol democracy to her friends because one day, they’ll have to work together to make progress for their school to grow their smiles and shine their way!;) By the way, this update will also be dedicated to the candidates who were currently running for the Student Coordinating Board of my alma mater, the De La Salle Araneta University. Hopefully, they'll be able to make progress in their campaign period before the election day, which will be held on March 12 (Friday), as the students who have enrolled this school year will have to vote their candidates wisely at their homes to determine the next set of officers to be announced by March 15 (Monday). Good luck to all of the candidates and may the best candidate win!:) The next update will be another Love Live! side chapter, but this time, it’ll be more exciting and more thrilling as Tsukiko and Hiroe Maekawa will be teaming up with the Kurosawa sisters, Dia and Ruby, in a role play that will take place in a shrine in Numazu. You have seen a few times of Aqours wearing their yukatas and fantasy-themed clothes in the anime and so, you’re going to be prepared for this as the Maekawas and the Kurosawas are going to work together for just one day! I’ll see you on March 10 (Wednesday) for the next update of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts!
 
Before you’ll read this new update, this one will be dedicated to Nao Tōyama, whose birthday will be tomorrow (March 11). Born in Tokyo, Nao had been a great voice actress and singer that she had worked hard for 10 years. When it comes to voice acting, she had been devoted to voice for admired and prestigious characters such as Yukiho Kōsaka (Love Live!; the sister of Honoka Kōsaka (CV: Emi Nitta)), Mizuki Kawashima (The IDOLM@STER), Reina Prowler (Macross Delta), Tomoe Koga (Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai), Yui Yuigahama (My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU), Kanon Nakagawa (The World Only God Knows), Rin Shima (Laid-Back Camp), Chitoge Kirisaki (Nisekoi), Karen Kujo (Kin-iro Mosaic), Kongo (Kantai Collection), Nozomi Kasaki (Sound! Emporium/Liz and the Blue Bird), Chiho Sasaki (The Devil is a Part-Timer), Lieselotte Sherlock (Trinity Seven), Nagisa Shiota (Assassination Classroom), Ami Kurata (Long Riders!), Yume Eguchi (Strike the Blood), Coupy (Million Arthur), Honoka Kurosaki (Encouragement of Climb), High Elf Archer (Goblin Slayer), Gina Boyd (How Heavy Are the Dumbells You Lift?), Chiharu “Tsubaki” Yōgi (Oresuki), Mikage Sakurai (Asteroid in Love), Akira Dōjima (Kono Oto Tomare! Sounds of Life) and Ruka Sarashina (Rent-A-Girlfriend). On the other hand, she made success in her music career where she had released two albums: “Rainbow” and “Gunjō Infinity”; and had been part of Walküre from Macross Delta and Rhodanthe* from Kin-iro Mosaic. I hope that she’ll make progress of her voice acting and music career as she had been admired and prestigious in making her contributions throughout her career! Advanced happy birthday, Nao!:) Now, it’s time to head back to the beautiful city of Numazu for a new update featuring the Kurosawa sisters, Dia and Ruby, of Aqours and Tsukiko Maekawa of the Bravehearts of Numazu!:)

Ever since I had followed Love Live! School Idol Project series, I had admired the Kurosawa sisters, Dia and Ruby, because they have been part of Aqours, showing their pride and compassion for their family and their school idol group and so, I finally decided to post a new update that will focus on them as they will be meeting with Tsukiko Maekawa, a member of the Bravehearts of Numazu. In today’s update, Tsukiko, her sister Hiroe and her friends from the Red and Orange Resolution are going to have fun getting along with Dia and Ruby for one day, so that they want to gleam and explore together for a wonderful journey in Numazu. Not only Dia and Ruby will be featured in this update, but Tsukiko will be there too because she had been compassionated to be part of the Bravehearts of Numazu. Also, this will be the first time that a braveheart-school idol partnership had taken place because you’re going to witness both Kurosawa sisters and Maekawa sisters working together at the same time. Which means, you’re going to see their fantasy stuff to work on, so that they will be able to apply those in a role play where they will show their pride and compassion together. I hope that you’re all thrilled to see this because this will be my first time to post an update that will be focused on the co-habitation between the bravehearts and the school idols. If you’re ready to show some pride and compassion, then here comes the 21st side chapter of the Red Section Stories with the title, “The Sister Connection: The Kurosawas and The Maekawas”! Enjoy reading the 21st side chapter of the Red Section Stories!:)

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES
CHAPTER 21: “THE SISTER CONNECTION: THE KUROSAWAS AND THE MAEKAWAS

Date: May 3, 2010 (Monday)

This side chapter is focused on Tsukiko Maekawa and the Red and Orange Resolution as they’ll be meeting with the Kurosawa sisters, Dia and Ruby, in their home to get along with them.

Tsukiko and the members of the Red and Orange Resolution are walking on their way to the Kurosawa Residence where they are going to have fun getting along with them for some fantasy stuff just like how Chika and her fellow groupmates from Aqours did. The Red and Orange Resolution is composed of the friends of Tsukiko and they were all sixth grade elementary school students from the Tagata Gakuen Shizūra Elementary School except for Tsukiko’s older sister Hiroe, who was a second year middle school student from the Tagata Gakuen Shizūra Middle School.

Red and Orange Resolution: Chisaki Ōdate, Kumiko Takano, Shino Katayama, Rei Moriya, Itsuki Kurosawa, Motoichi Mitsui, Hikoichi Yamashiro, Runa Kazama, Yasuyuki Fukuyama, Sayako Kanō, Tsukiko Nakano, Yūmi Kitazawa, Hisaya Sugiura, Motojiro Aida, Yasuhiro Mizushima, Naoki Fukagawa and Hiroe Maekawa

“I’m so excited that we’re going to meet the Kurosawas, Tsukiko! They have recognized us since we watched their recent performance!” said Kumiko Takano.

“Yep! Dia and Ruby have invited me to visit their home because they’re going to do their fantasy stuff for us!” said Tsukiko Maekawa.

“Wow! I can’t believe that they’re going to let you get involved to their fantasy stuff! That’s going to be nice if we want to join with you!” said Kumiko.

“Yeah, it’s going to be fun that we’re going to hang out with those girls from Aqours!” said Chisaki Ōdate.

“They have been doing well since their recent performance last spring and I’m sure that they’ll stay together as a school idol group” said Shino Katayama.

“We’ll be happy that we’re going to see them again for another performance, but now their senpais are currently on college” said Rei Moriya.

“That’s right, Rei! Dia is currently a first year college student alongside Kanan and Mari. I heard that they have studied in a prestigious college, but I don’t remember what school they are studying” said Tsukiko.

“Well, I guess that they have still gotten along with each other in the same college. I can’t wait to see how they’re doing in their studies when we talk to them” said Rei.

“I’m going to say that they’ll do their best to work hard in trying to get passed in their courses. That way, they’ll have their chance to receive a high grade” said Shino.

“Yeah, I agree with that, Shino! Dia and I were used to be friends when I saw her performance with her fellow groupmates and I liked the way she performed with her passion and smile. I even saw her sister Ruby too because she’s very cute” said Tsukiko.

“Of course, she was, Tsukiko! Ruby was very adorable to please the audience as she wants to be prestigious like her sister” said Chisaki.

“Yeah, that’s true, Chisaki-san. Ever since we were acquaintances for the three of us, we spend our time getting along with each other and sometimes, I was called by them if they want me to go for a walk. I like their way of encouraging me because they feel confident that they want to make friends for their own circle of friends” said Tsukiko.

“So, you mean, you are part of it?” asked Kumiko.

“Uh, yeah. My sister and I were part of that connection, which results to us having our own relationship with them. Although we’re not typically soulmates, but they call us acquaintances because they like our personality of being careful, prestigious and admired” said Tsukiko.

“It’s like soulmates mating with each other with the same personality within” said Hiroe Maekawa.

“Yeah, I agree, onēchan!” said Tsukiko. “When we’re going to visit the Kurosawa Residence, you’re going for a ride of pride and admiration.”

“Yeah!” said the members of the Red and Orange Resolution.

When Tsukiko and her friends have reached the Kurosawa Residence, Tsukiko calls out Dia and Ruby by shouting at them. “Dia! Ruby! I’m here!”

“Oh, if isn’t Tsukiko! How nice to see you!” said Dia.

“Welcome to our home!” said Ruby.

“Well, it’s nice that we meet each other again after the performance that I watched. So good that we’re going to have fun getting along with each other!” said Tsukiko.

“Yeah!” said Dia and Ruby before the former invites Tsukiko and her friends to come to her home. “Please, come in!”

Tsukiko and her friends would sit down at the living room where they would feel comfortable to relax there.

“Wow! It’s a fine place to relax!” said Chisaki.

“I never seen this place before, but I’m being amazed when I enter this place. It’s so beautiful!” said Kumiko.

“What a great view when you look around!” said Shino.

“It’s more like a castle” said Rei.

“Yep! We used to live there with our family and relatives” said Dia.

“Sometimes, we invited our friends on our side to make them feel comfortable!” said Ruby.

“Yep! It’s indeed comfortable to stay in your place, girls!” said Hiroe.

“Yeah, me too! I’m very uplifted that this place was peace and quiet” said Tsukiko.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Dia and Ruby.

“So, the reason why I invited you all, especially to you, Tsukiko, is because Ruby and I have come up with a role play with our friends and we want to invite you to be part of it” said Dia.

“Our role play will be us pretending to pay a visit in a shrine before a group of bandits trying to terrorize it” said Ruby.

“Ah, I get it, girls! It looks like we’re going to make us involved in a showdown” said Tsukiko.

“That would be epic to shake them off!” said Chisaki.

“Yeah!” said Dia and Ruby.

“But who will be acting for a group of bandits in your role play?” asked Hiroe.

“Well, my friends of mine including my sister’s will be acting as a group of bandits and of course, you’re going to be surprised when you see them quickly” said Dia.

“Other than that, both Hiroki and Shōjirō will be acting as guardians because they are going to protect the shrine. Since then, they want to make the shrine more sacred. Do you think you will be fit to be part of our story as samurais?” said Ruby.

“Of course, we would!” said the members of the Red and Orange Resolution.

“You can count on me, Ruby!” said Tsukiko.

“We can do this!” said Hiroe.

“That’s great! I can’t wait to see how this plays out! Don’t you think, onēchan?” said Ruby.

“Yeah! They’re going to do it!” said Dia before asking her cousin Itsuki, who is a member of the Red and Orange Resolution, a favor. “Uh… Itsuki, I need a favor.”

“Oh, sure, cousin! I hope that you will give a position to do for your role play” said Itsuki Kurosawa.

“Would you mind bringing some kendo sticks for a practice?” asked Dia.

“Okay!” said Itsuki before speaking to Tsukiko and her fellow friends. ‘I’ll be right back!” Itsuki would leave the living room to get the kendo sticks from Dia’s room.

“Wait a minute, Dia-san. Itsuki won’t be part of the role play?” said Hiroe.

“Yeah, because she’s my cousin and I have to groom her to be my servant. She’ll take care of us no matter what” said Dia.

“Ah, I see. It’s like a connection to say the least” said Hiroe.

“She would have been part of our role play, but I think that it fits a different role” said Tsukiko.

“Yeah” said Dia.

Later, Hiroki and Shōjirō arrive to meet with the Kurosawa sisters and the guests. Hiroki speaks first as he was surprised to them. “Whoa! That was a lot of them!”

“Do you know those guys?” asked Shōjirō.

“Yep!” said Dia and Ruby.

“These are my acquaintances of mine who were coming from the Tagata Gakuen Shizūra Elementary School” said Dia.

“They’ll be part of our role play as they’re going to help us getting strong to beat a a group of bandits” said Ruby.

“Ah, that sound like a good plan” said Hiroki.

“I say that they’ll try their best to act pride” said Shōjirō.

“Yep!” said Dia and Ruby before Itsuki returns to the living room as she holds the kendo sticks.

“Here you go!” said Itsuki as she puts the kendo sticks to the tatami.

“So, we will use these?” asked Tsukiko.

“Yep! These kendo sticks will be suited for us to use for the role plays that my cousins have. When they were acting for a suspense role play, they have to be more careful to make sure that they won’t be hurt” said Itsuki.

“And since this role play will be much different than the other members of Aqours have fantasized in different categories, I believe that it’s going to be a good one” said Dia.

“Well, I’m very confident that we’re ready for this, Dia!” said Tsukiko.

“Yeah! We’ll prove that we’re going to act with pride and admiration!” said Hiroe.

“You said it!” said Dia.

“Everyone! Let’s practice outside for a bit, so that you’re all prepared for the role play!” said Ruby.

“Yeah!” said Tsukiko, Hiroe and the members of the Red and Orange Resolution.

Everyone would leave the living room to go outside for their practice. Dia, Ruby, Hiroki, Shōjirō and Itsuki are trying to help Tsukiko and her friends in preparing for the role play.

“You have to strike like this” said Dia as she demonstrates to Tsukiko and Hiroe on how to strike the kendo stick. “See. You should strike like that with your speed.”

“And remember, you have to keep in mind that the blows you made may cause the person to get injured. So, you need to strike lightly, okay?” said Ruby.

“Okay, we got it!” said Tsukiko, Hiroe and the members of the Red and Orange Resolution.

“Oh, one other thing. The kendo sticks are more like katanas that were used by samurais in the past. We’re not going to make this role play like something that it’s serious, but we could only do special effects on that one” said Dia.

“Shizuka and Mariko will be taking care of the music to make sure that this role play will be getting interesting” said Ruby.

“Well, that would be better rather than just fighting with physical effects” said Tsukiko.

“And of course! We’re too young to get hurt” said Chisaki.

“We should be more careful when we’re using objects that will hurt anyone” said Hiroe.

“Yeah, we agree” said Dia and Ruby.

“Now, let’s see if you can able to practice striking with your kendo stick” said Dia.

“Just make sure not to let your kendo stick strike at someone” said Ruby.

“Okay!” said Tsukiko, Hiroe and the members of the Red and Orange Resolution as they’re practicing with their kendo sticks, pretending to strike on the wind. They have managed to strike with their kendo sticks without hurting someone, which makes the Kurosawa sisters feel happy.

Itsuki had helped her fellow groupmates to make sure that they won’t hurt each other with their kendo sticks. Hiroki and Shōjirō have observed them on whether anyone puts a mistake or not, which nothing was wrong with it. At the end of the practice, they were tired after striking the kendo sticks for a lot of times. Dia and Ruby give the water to Tsukiko, Hiroe and the members of the Red and Orange Resolution.

“Thanks, girls!” said Tsukiko, Hiroe and the members of the Red and Orange Resolution.

“Wow! I’m so glad that we have worked hard to prepare for the role play, Dia!” said Tsukiko.

“I’m so excited for this because this is gonna be good!” said Chisaki.

“I never appear in some serious role plays before, but I can’t finally wait to see how this one going” said Kumiko.

“We’re good to be ready for the role play!” said Shino.

“Hopefully, we’ll do our best to make this fantastic!” said Rei.

“You got it, girls!” said Dia. “If everyone is prepared for the role play, we should start this role play in a few hours.”

“We’re going to the shrine together, so that we’re all ready for the role play! I hope that you’re ready for this because we’ll make it shine!” said Ruby.

“Yeah!” said Tsukiko, Hiroe and the members of the Red and Orange Resolution.

“Wait a second, girls! Are you going to wear that kind of attire?” queried Hiroki.

“Because it’s not gonna work if you don’t wear something magical or fantastical” said Shōjirō.

“Oh, you’re right, Shōjirō-san! We should change clothes first” said Ruby.

“That’s right, Ruby. We have to wear our yukatas for this role play” said Dia.

“Wait. Do you have yukatas?” said Tsukiko.

“Yeah!” said Dia and Ruby.

“We used those kinds of clothes when we performed one of the songs known as 「未熟DREAMER」by Aqours” said Dia. Aqours is composed of Anju Inami, Rikako Aida, Nanaka Suwa, Arisa Komiya, Shuka Saitō, Aika Kobayashi, Kanako Takatsuki, Aina Suzuki and Ai Furihata.

“It made us so delighted to wear those because it’s for pride and admiration that we want to represent with” said Ruby.

“You have one of those, Tsukiko?” asked Dia.

“Yes, I have” said Tsukiko.

“That’s better! What about the rest?” said Dia.

“Yeah, they have their own yukatas too!” said Tsukiko.

“Well, then, let’s change our clothes inside our home before we’ll go outside to visit the shrine” said Dia.

“Then, we can start the role play together!” said Ruby.

“Yeah!” said Tsukiko, Hiroe and the members of the Red and Orange Resolution.

Later, Dia, Ruby, Hiroki, Shōjirō, Tsukiko, Hiroe and the members of the Red and Orange Resolution have headed to the Ōse Shrine to do their role play there. The role play starts with Dia and Ruby are praying to the gods in front of the shrine.

Suddenly, Tsukiko, Hiroe and the members of the Red and Orange Resolution have just arrived to meet with Dia and Ruby.

“Oh, Dia and Ruby! We need your help!” said Tsukiko.

“What happened?” asked Dia.

“A group of bandits have attacked our village and they’re about to come to you!” said Tsukiko.

“You have to help us!” said Hiroe.

“Okay, then, I’ll help you!” said Dia.

“Yay!” said Tsukiko, Hiroe and the members of the Red and Orange Resolution.

“So, what should we do?” asked Tsukiko.

“Let’s talk to the guardians on what to do to stop those bandits out there” said Ruby.

“Okay!” said Tsukiko.

Hiroki and Shōjirō have arrived to give an advice to everyone. Hiroki would speak to them. “The bandits are so ferocious and brutal that they attack the villages in one second. We have to fight together to stop them from trying to take over this shrine.”

“All we have to do is to wait for the signal of the bandits to charge and then, we’re going to counter it by running through them. Then, we have to be mindful that they have powers to stop us, so we need to counter it with our own” said Shōjirō.

“We’ll make sure that we’ll defeat those bandits to get them away” said Ruby.

“Exactly my point, Ruby-san” said Shōjirō.

“This makes me tense to see what’s going to happen” said Chisaki.

“Yeah, I know. It’s getting nervous when those bandits are going to attack on us” said Kumiko.

“Don’t worry, girls! We’re not nervous, but we have to be brave” said Tsukiko.

“And bold enough to stop them” said Hiroe.

“Okay!” said Chiskai and Kumiko.

“Girls, we should work together to defeat those bandits!” said Tsukiko.

“It’s nice that you have protected this place for a long time” said Hiroe.

“Yes, we are!” said Dia and Ruby.

“We’re not giving up because that’s what we do to protect this place!” said Dia.

“Yeah! We’re going to show them that we’re protecting this place for our village!” said Ruby.

“Yeah!” said Itsuki and Hiroe.

From the outside of the shrine, the friends of Dia and Ruby, acting as a group of bandits, have arrived to prepare for an attack. Ayumi would shout at everyone in the shrine to make them shocked.

“Come out here and fight us!” said Ayumi.

“We’re about to take over this shrine and everyone will now be my prisoners!” said Hikaru.

“Well, if that’s the fight you want…” said Dia.

“…then, it’s the fight that you will get!” said Ruby.

“Let’s show those bandits how strong we are!” said Tsukiko.

“So that we’ll be able to protect this place!” said Hiroe.

“Yeah!” said Dia and Ruby as the Kurosawas and the Maekawas are charging on the close friends of Dia and Ruby. They were able to use their kendo sticks to lightly strike on the close friends of Dia and Ruby before they sway them away. As the close friends of Dia and Ruby are trying to counter it, the members of the Red and Orange Resolution have charged to outnumber them.

The scene changes to Ayumi and Hikaru battling against the Kurosawas and the Maekawas.

“Surrender now, the two of you!” said Dia.

“You don’t belong here to take over this shrine!” said Ruby.

“No way! We don’t want to surrender!” said Ayumi.

“Yeah! You can’t do that easily!” said Hikaru.

“Yes, we do!” said Dia and Ruby.

“This place is sacred and it is protected by the guardians!” said Tsukiko.

“You must get through us if you want to take over this place!” said Hiroe.

“Then, let’s see who proves to take care of this place!” said Ayumi.

“Okay!” said Dia, Ruby, Tsukiko and Hiroe as the four have used their strikes that they practiced earlier to lightly strike on Ayumi and Hikaru’s kendo sticks. The battle continues with both sides trading strikes at each other, but the close friends of Dia and Ruby are seemed to be in the brink of losing.

“Take this!” said Dia while striking the kendo stick of Ayumi with her own while Ayumi stumbling to the ground.

“There’s no escape for you!” said Ruby.

“We are protecting this place!” said Tsukiko while striking the kendo stick of Hikaru with her own.

“Because we’re good at it!” said Hiroe.

Feeling hopeless after they are about to lose the battle, Ayumi and Hikaru shout at the Kurosawas and the Maekawas. “We surrender!”

Then, Dia calls the rest of her team to stop fighting against the close friends of hers and her sister. “Stop the battle, girls!”

“The leaders have been surrendered!” said Ruby.

The members of the Red and Orange Resolution and the close friends of Dia and Ruby have stopped attacking against each other.

“So, you surrender, huh?” asked Tsukiko.

“Yeah!” said Ayumi and Hikaru.

“We can’t take it anymore!” said Ayumi.

“So, please don’t banish us!” said Hikaru.

“Well, then, I think that you two will be committing community service along with your friends out there for you have done in our village” said Tsukiko.

“Yeah! You have to forgive the villagers for what you have done earlier” said Hiroe.

“Okay, we get it, girls” said Ayumi and Hikaru.

“Good! Now, you better start cleaning the entire village right now before you’re going to get in big trouble!” said Dia.

“Don’t make us angry if you don’t get the job done!” said Ruby.

“Okay!” said Ayumi and Hikaru as they leave the shrine together with the other close friends of Dia and Ruby in a retreat.

Dia smiles to Ruby, Tsukiko and Hiroe as she’s declaring a victory for her team. “We did it, girls! We stopped those bandits from taking over this place!”

“It was nice that we worked together as a team!” said Ruby.

“Thanks to your valiant efforts…” said Tsukiko.

“…you deserve a job well done!” said Hiroe.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Red and Orange Resolution.

“Well done, girls! You fended those bandits off to save this shrine!” said Hiroki.

“Now this calls for a celebration right here!” said Shōjirō.

“Yeah!” said Dia, Ruby, Tsukiko, Hiroe and the members of the Red and Orange Resolution have finished the role play after they celebrate their victory together. Everyone would stay at the entrance of the shrine where they felt satisfied after the role play had been success.

“Alright! The role play is a success!” said Dia.

“Yeah! Great job, everyone, including the two of you!” said Ruby.

“You two have been valiant and courageous in defending for the two of us!” said Dia.

“Ganbaruby! You were awesome, Tsukiko-chan and Hiroe-chan!” said Ruby.

“Thanks, girls!” said Tsukiko and Hiroe.

“I was so happy that we were able to work together to make this role play a success!’ said Tsukiko.

“I’m so glad that we used this sister connection to make sure that we stopped those enemies from trying to take over this place” said Hiroe.

“Well, you’re right, Hiroe! It was nice that we have a great team!” said Dia.

“Yeah! A great team leads to a great time to create a bond of friendship between the four of us!” said Ruby.

“Yes, it is!” said Tsukiko and Hiroe.

“Oh, I’m so thrilled that the four of them are now in the same team!” said Chisaki.

“I’m proud of them, Chisaki! I can’t believe that Tsukiko and Hiroe have found their connection with my cousins! It’s so great that they have worked together like how Aqours did” said Itsuki.

“Yep! Dia and Ruby will never lose their pride and admiration to have fun get along with Tsukiko and Hiroe and I want to watch out for those two young girls when they’ll meet again” said Shizuka.

“Yeah, I agree with that, Shizuka-san. I’m feeling gratified that the four of them will be showing their sister connection with each other and I’m sure that they’ll do whatever it takes to keep their bonds of friendship strong” said Mariko.

“Yeah!” said Chisaki and Itsuki.

“Hopefully, Dia and Ruby will invite them to another role play because now that the sister connection had been made” said Ayumi.

“They’re going to be ready to have their connection going stronger as it would be. Right, girls?” said Hikaru.

“Yeah, Chsaki, Itsuki, Shizuka and Mariko.

“Everyone! Let’s head back home for some mid-day snack!” said Dia.

“We’re going to cook some wonderful dishes just for you!” said Ruby.

“So, come along with us!” said Tsukiko.

“It will be fun to enjoy this day!” said Hiroe.

“Yeah!” said the close friends of Dia and Ruby and the members of the Red and Orange Resolution.

While walking on their way back to the Kurosawa Residence, the Kurosawa sisters and the Maekawa sisters have their little conversation on how the latter being enjoyed getting along with the former.

“Are you happy that you two have getting along with us?” asked Dia.

“Yes, we are!” said Tsukiko and Hiroe.

“That’s very nice! I’m so proud of the two of you!” said Dia.

“I’m so happy that you enjoyed getting along with us! I’m feeling courageous to see your smiles out there! That would make Ruby-chan very happy!” said Ruby.

“Of course, we smile, Ruby!” said Tsukiko and Hiroe.

“It makes me motivate to smile to any member of Aqours after getting their job done” said Tsukiko.

“And we would keep our faith to bless you and your older sister for sure” said Hiroe.

“That’s more I like it, Hiroe-san! Keep the faith to make the Kurosawa sisters happy to be with you!” said Dia.

“Hopefully, we’re going to work together again for better fantastical stuff!” said Ruby.

“Yeah, we will!” said Tsukiko and Hiroe as they smile on their faces to Dia and Ruby, which makes them smile in return. The sister connection between the Kurosawas and the Maekawas was no secret ever since Tsukiko had praised the performance of Dia and Ruby when the sisters have represented for Aqours and both sides have been able to work together through their pride and admiration. Hopefully, when they’ll meet again, they’re going to make sure their relationship between the two groups of sisters growing for more.

A Post-Chapter Postscript Message from Dia and Ruby Kurosawa

Hi, everyone! We are the Kurosawa sisters, Dia and Ruby, of Aqours and we would like to thank everyone for reading this update as we have a lot of fun getting along with the Maekawa sisters, Tsukiko and Hiroe. It was so great that we have found some girls that have been interested in fantasizing because they want to imagine themselves with their own imagination like pretending to become samurais or having engaged with a fight against the invaders. We were thrilled to see their imagination and because of that, we decided to team up with them in a role play. The role play was a success as everyone had been able to participate to show how our pride and compassion being made of. The Maekawa sisters have been reminding us of Saint Snow, who were rivals to us at that time, but they were more friendly to us because they have been determined to make themselves prepared for something expected. I hope that we’re going to do another round of role play, but we might be all busy for some school idol stuff. Of course, we can do that again if we aren’t busy at some point. It looked great that you’re all reading this and I hope that you’re showing some pride and compassion to us. Anyway, what’s next for us is that we’re ready to work on our progress for some future projects with µ’s and the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. That’s why we need you to keep supporting us because this will help us shine for Aqours, so that our pride and compassion will be powered up for us to make us smile for sure! I hope that you enjoyed reading this because you’re all happy to see us content and grateful that we have done in this update. Hopefully, you can count on us if you want to see more of our fantastic and exciting activities for sure! Until then, we’ll see you next time, everyone!
- Dia Kurosawa (CV. Arisa Komiya) and Ruby Kurosawa (CV. Ai Furihata)

UP NEXT: Red Section-Chapter 22: “The Melody Connection”

The sister connection between the Kurosawas and the Maekawas had been a long story to tell because the Maekawas have been interested in fantasizing stuff and that’s why the Kurosawas want them to take part of their role play, which was very successful. It was so great that the sisters have been working together at the same time, which means that they have been able to develop a braveheart-school idol partnership between them. This is the first time that I have that idea coming up in one of my plans for the Red Section Series because not only I had followed Love Live! School Idol Project series, but I want to make all characters from that series to get involved in co-habiting with the bravehearts from their hometowns (Chiyoda (µ’s), Numazu (Aqours) and Minato (Nijigasaki High School Idol Club)). Of course, this update will make Dia and Ruby getting some action with Tsukiko and Hiroe to work together in a role play where they’re going to save the temple from their enemies. I feel delighted that the Kurosawas have been determined to show their pride and compassion to their friends and followers like the Maekawas and I believe that they’re very confident to make them feel compassionate and grateful to be with them. That’s the reason why I like Dia and Ruby the most because they’re my favorite characters of Love Live! Sunshine!! I hope that I’ll have some plans on writing another update that will be featuring them, but I might have to do that someday!;) The next update will be heading back to Setagaya where Setsuna’s cousin Reiko Suginami of the Bravehearts of Setagaya and her group, the Silver Melody, will be meeting with the friends of Setsuna at her home. It’s going to be a thrilling one because the friends of Setsuna want to get along with Reiko and her friends for just one day, which it will be more exciting to see this because it’s not all about the connections of Reiko and Setsuna through the Suginami clan, but some secrets to be revealed. So, get ready to see all of this when I’ll be posting that update on March 14 (Sunday)!:) I’ll see you on March 14 (Sunday) for the next update of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts!
 
Yesterday (March 13) was the birthday of Mocha Hoto (Is the Order a Rabbit?), today (March 14) is the birthday of Nodoka Toyoahma (Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai) and tomorrow (March 15) will be the birthday of Umi Sonoda (Love Live!, representing µ’s). Both Mocha and Nodoka are typical sister connection to their main characaters as Mocha is the older sister of Cocoa Hoto (CV: Ayane Sakura) and likes to take care of everything including her younger sister Cocoa while Nodoka is a timid and prestige half-sister of Mai Sakurajima (CV: Asami Seto) and a member of her own girl group, Sweet Bullet, led by its leader Uzuki Hirokawa (CV: Sora Amamiya). Mocha is voiced by Ai Kayano while Nodoka is voiced by Maaya Uchida. On the other hand, Umi is one of the members of µ’s and the childhood friend of Honoka Kōsaka (CV: Emi Nitta) and Kotori Minami (CV: Aya Uchida). Umi is an expert in kendo, koto, nagauta, shodō, and nichibu and the main lyricist of µ’s. She’s also a member of the sub-unit lily white, composed of her, Nozomi Tōjō (CV: Aina Kusuda) and Rin Hoshizora (CV: Riho Iida) and is voiced by Suzuko Mimori, who is also the voice actress of Hikari Kagura (Revue Starlight, representing Starlight Kukugumi). Belated happy birthday, Mocha, and happy birthday, Nodoka and Umi!:) Also, before you’ll read this update, this one will be dedicated to Wataru Hatano, whose birthday was yesterday (March 13). Born in Asahi, Nagano, an intelligent and handsome Wataru is the voice actor of Nano (Didn’t I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?!), Shin Reglia (The Misfit of Demon King Academy), Gon Nada (Uchi-tama?! Have you seen my Tama?), Gaku Yaotome (IDOLiSH7), Kai Fuduki (Tsukiuta. The Animation), Metal Bat (One Punch Man) and Hikaru Matsuyama (Captain Tsubasa). Not only he’s a voice actor, he’s a singer as well because he was part of TRIGGER from IDOLiSH7 and Procellarum from Tsukiuta. The Animation. I hope that he will continue making progress in his career as he had been determined to make his career going well as a voice actor and singer. Belated happy birthday, Wataru!:) Now, it’s time to head to Tokyo for another update of the Red Section Series!:)

The next update of the Red Section Series will be focused on Reiko Suginami and her friends from her group, the Silver Melody, as they are welcoming the friends of Setsuna Yūki of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club as today’s guests in the Suginami Residence for the gathering being made by Reiko’s father Takahiro Suginami. In case you didn’t know, Reiko Suginami is a member of the Bravehearts of Setagaya and the cousin of Setsuna through the Suginami clan. One thing that you find it coincidental is that Reiko’s father Takahiro is a Suginami, which means that both Reiko and Setsuna have known with each other as they were cousins. In this update, you’re going to witness the conversation between the two sides where you’re going to explore the secrets of Reiko about her relationship with Setsuna as cousins and the interests of her, her sister Rina and her friends from the Silver Melody. However, Setsuna will not appear in this update, but instead her friends will be visiting the Suginami Residence to meet with Reiko had her friends. I hope that you’re all set for this because here comes the 22nd side chapter of the Red Section Series with the title, “The Melody Connection”! Enjoy reading the 22nd side chapter of the Red Section Series!:)

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES
CHAPTER 22: “THE MELODY CONNECTION

Date: May 8, 2010 (Saturday)

This side chapter is focused on Reiko Suginami of the Bravehearts of Setagaya and her group, the Silver Melody, led by Misato Kinouchi, as they would be meeting with the friends of Setsuna Yūki. Reiko Suginami is the cousin of Setsuna Yūki, a member of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, because of both Setsuna’s mother and Reiko’s father were part of the Suginami clan and her favorite colors are silver, magenta and red.

At the Suginami Residence, Reiko and the members of the Silver Melody were playing basketball together in the outdoor basketball court near the garden. Reiko had just practiced her new moves as she showed those to her friends. Reiko played as both power forward and small forward, which is why she was very considered a threat to her opponents. After their pick-up match was over with Reiko’s team, composed of the girls, walked away with the victory against Toshihiko’s team, composed of the boys, they have their water break at the bench.

Silver Melody: Misato Kinouchi, Toshihiko Takeya, Maika Kawashima, Naoki Kitahara, Seiichirō Kasahara, Rina Maeda, Shigeko Imaizumi, Hirofumi Takebe, Mutsumi Igarashi, Kiyomi Sawashiro, Akane Ōshiro, Maiko Hayashi, Nobuhisa Katsura, Kenta Nakashima and Rentarō Tanuma

“I can’t believe that you have worked out very well, onēchan!” said Rina Suginami, the older sister of Reiko Suginami and a third year middle school student from the Tamagawa Gakuen Middle School. Reiko had an older brother Tatsuya, who was not here because he had been busy training with his fellow teammates in the Tamagawa Gakuen Middle School boys’ basketball team.

“Yeah, Rina! I have gone better when I started to get some extra training from head coach Tatsunori Amano yesterday. He told me to focus on posting up against opponents that are forced to be reckon with” said Reiko.

“Well, you’re seemed to be in a good shape when you’re defending your court for your team. It’s going to be nice that you’re ready to make some moves to dominate” said Rina Suginami.

“Ah, I guess so, but we’re not scheduled to play games yet until probably, the end of the first term. The Interhigh prefectural tournament in Tokyo is the main focus of the high school basketball program, which hinders both elementary school and middle school basketball programs for a while” said Reiko.

“You’re right, onēchan. Interhigh is one month away from now. I don’t know if you’re prepared for your first game as a starter before the summer break, but I hope that you’ll keep improving until you’re ready to go” said Rina Suginami.

“Okay, I’ll try my best, Rina” said Reiko.

“That’s the spirit!” said Rina Suginami with a smile on her face.

“Reiko!” said Misato Kinouchi.

“Yeah, what is it, Misato?” asked Reiko.

“I remember that today is going to be a gathering that your father organized” said Misato. The name of Rieko’s father is Takahiro Suginami.

“Ah, yes. They’re going to be there to enjoy their day and they’ll have endless memories to get with” said Reiko.

“I agree. I bet that there will be visitors coming around for today” said Misato.

“Oh, I guess so, Misato. They’ll be coming to my home in a few minutes before the party gets started” said Reiko.

“Yep! I also heard that the friends of your cousin Setsuna will be here to get along with us” said Misato.

“What?! Really?” surprisingly exclaimed Reiko.

“Yeah! They said that they’re coming from Odaiba just like your cousin and they’re very friendly to her” said Misato.

“They haven’t visited this place before because they only visited Setsuna’s home” said Toshihiko Takeya.

“So, it’s going to be fun that we’re going to get to know with them and make them friendly to us” said Maika Kawashima.

“Yeah, I agree!” said Reiko.

“The gathering will not start until 5:00 in the afternoon, but we should prepare ourselves for the encounter. What do you think, onēchan?” said Rina Suginami.

“Yeah, we should do that! It’ll be amazing that they’ll be here to get along with us for the first time, but I hope that we’re going to befriend them for sure” said Reiko.

“You bet!” said Rina Suginami.

“Now, let’s prepare ourselves to welcome them to my home!” said Reiko.

“Okay!” said the members of the Silver Melody as Reiko, her sister Rina and the members of the Silver Melody are entering to the living room to clean that place for the visitors to come. At the kitchen, Reiko and Rina have cooked the hamburgers, Misato and Toshiko cooked the French fries and Maika and Naoki have prepared the drinks by putting water and peach juice to the two pitchers.

An hour later, Reiko, Rina and the members of the Silver Melody have finished preparing everything for the visitors to get welcomed.

“Is everyone ready to meet the visitors?” asked Reiko.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Silver Melody.

“Great! Now, we’ll wait for the visitors right here to welcome them!” said Reiko.

“Okay!” said the members of the Silver Melody.

A few minutes later, a doorbell was rung, which triggers Rina to shout at her sister and the members of the Silver Melody. “Here they come!”

The door had been opened and it was revealed to be the friends of Setsuna Yūki, composed of Keiko Aragaki, Chizuru Tominaga and the others.

Friends of Setsuna Yūki: Keiko Aragaki, Chizuru Tominaga, Natsuko Miyasaka, Chiaki Takanashi, Aoi Kono, Fūka Kageyama, Tomoko Kiyokawa, Takako Kiyokawa, Haruka Miyamoto, Akihiro Morikawa and Keita Hanazono

“Welcome to our home!” said Reiko.

“Where everyone is indulged with blessings coming to our way!” said Rina Suginami.

“It’s so nice that you’re all here!” said Misato.

“Yeah! We came here because my parents were part of your father’s workplace, despite we’re away from each other. So, I decided to invite my friends out there to hang out with you” said Keiko.

“It will be a pleasure to make us comfortable to stay here for a day” said Aoi.

“Yes, of course! You’re all welcomed to stay here!” said Reiko.

“Hooray!” said the close friends of Setsuna.

“So, where’s my cousin Setsuna?” asked Reiko.

“Unfortunately, she won’t be coming with us because she had some duties as a school idol. You know, the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club?” said Keiko.

“Ah, yes. I recognize that group, Keiko!” said Reiko.

“They’re a group of school idols that studied in the Nijigasaki Academy High School” said Rina Suginami.

“Yep! They are very busy with their school idol duties because they want to save their club from being abolished and so, they have to be more serious in trying to make sure that nothing will go wrong on that club” said Keiko.

“Well, I hope that they’ll be able to do anything to save their club” said Reiko.

“That would be a challenge for them in order to keep the club alive for sure” said Rina Suginami.

“Yeah. That’s why Setsuna had to stay with her fellow club members to do their duties as school idols” said Keiko.

“So that, they won’t be worried about their future as it’s going to be hard if there will be no school idol club to handle in our school” said Aoi.

“That would be worse than flunking out on entrance exams if you ask me” said Chizuru.

“Yeah, I agree, girls” said Reiko before asking the close friends of Setsuna to sit down in the sofa. “Now, let’s have some conversation right here!”

“Okay!” said the close friends of Setsuna as they would sit down in the sofa with Reiko, Rina and the members of the Silver Melody.

Reiko introduces the close friends of Setsuna to her sister and the members of the Silver Melody. “Anyway, this is my sister Rina Suginami, who was always taking care of me when we’re at home together, and these are my friends of mine. They were Misato Kinouchi, Toshihiko Takeya, Maika Kawashima, Naoki Kitahara, Seiichirō Kasahara, Rina Maeda, Shigeko Imaizumi, Hirofumi Takebe, Mutsumi Igarashi, Kiyomi Sawashiro, Akane Ōshiro, Maiko Hayashi, Nobuhisa Katsura, Kenta Nakashima and Rentarō Tanuma.”

“Wow! I can’t believe that you had assembled your own friends just like how Setsuna did to us! That was very nice!” said Keiko.

“Yep! I formed my group of friends known as the Silver Melody because they want to follow my basketball career and like to get along with me for some fun! They also like music and video games” said Reiko.

“Well, that sounds nice! I’m so expected that we have some followers of Setsuna in your hometown” said Aoi.

“Uh… what do you mean, ‘followers of Setsuna’?” asked Reiko.

“You see, ever since she is a school idol, representing the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, Setsuna had been followed by us, which is why we praised her performance when she was with her fellow club members” said Aoi.

“And we also get along with her if we needed her to cheer up for her club’s reputation” said Chizuru.

“It’s like other school idol groups do their best to shine, which they have to make expectations to be the best that they can be” said Tomoko.

“The more they have followers, the better that they will become popular one day” said Takako.

“Oh, I get it now, guys. I’m so expected that my cousin will be shining for her club with you and your friends admiring her. That would make her so happy!” said Reiko.

“And not only for that, she’ll respect each one of you as you won’t let her down” said Rina Suginami.

“With courage and admiration” said Misato.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the close friends of Setsuna.

“It’s our goal to make Setsuna’s school idol career progressing because she wants to shine her way to perform alongside her fellow club members and they want to be motivated to attract the students of Nijigasaki to see them perform” said Keiko.

“Just like how µ’s and Aqours did when they’re performing for their schools, so that they’ll become successful school idol groups” said Aoi.

“Which is why the students of Nijigasaki need to get more attention to witness the performance of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and if they want that club to be saved, then they have to praise them to make Setsuna and her fellow groupmates proud” said Chizuru.

“So, we should keep supporting her to make sure that her club will be saved and one day, they’ll do anything to shine together as one” said Tomoko.

“They’ll have the hope to keep their club alive as long as they’re ready to represent for their school” said Takako.

“That’s nice for you! I hope that you’ll help them shine to make sure that they’ll not lose their blessing” said Reiko.

“That will make them feel good to keep their club alive” said Rina Suginami.

“Yeah, we will keep doing it to make them delighted for sure!” said the close friends of Sestuna, which makes Reiko, Rina and the members of the Silver Melody smile on their faces.

“So, tell us about your connection with your friends, Reiko-san” said Keiko.

“We never heard about you before, but Setsuna mentioned you that you came from the Suginami clan” said Aoi.

“That’s right. I came from the Suginami clan because of my father being part of it. He had been getting along with his siblings and cousins occasionally when there’s a gathering for them. I had been happy to see my father getting some respect from his siblings and cousins, which he became delighted to be with them. As for me, I became interested in getting along with my own cousins and we used to play a lot when we were little. Tatsuya and Rina were able to take care of me because they helped me to study hard and make friends. While at it, the three of us have our own set of friends to represent. I created the Silver Melody, my older sister created the Magenta Chromerays and my older brother have sometimes associated with my group, but he also created his own group known as the Bright Light Beasts” said Reiko.

“Those names are very interesting” said Keiko.

“I never heard about those names, but it’s nice that you have set of friends to represent with” said Chizuru.

“It’s nice that you have to represent your own group to follow you and I believe that you’re going to be good enough to make you blessed for sure!” said Natsuko.

“I believe that you’ll have a good relationship with your friends because they have cared for you to make sure that you’ll not let them down” said Aoi.

“That’s how people used to make friends, so that if they feel down, they’ll help them to bright them up” said Fūka.

“Yeah, I agree with you, girls! There’s no way my group will be losing me because they know that I’m going to make them feel happy and if I want to excite them, they’ll know what they’ll do for it” said Reiko.

“Yeah” said Keiko, Chizuru, Natsuko, Aoi and Fūka.

“It’s so nice that you have been part of that clan where our dear Setsuna-san had been coming from!” said Tomoko.

“Yeah, your pride and honor have been paid off since you’re representing for them” said Takako.

“Yes, I agree, girls. The Suginami clan was originally coming from Setagaya, which is my hometown. The clan includes my father Takahiro and Setsuna’s mother Satsuki” said Reiko.

“Yeah!” said the friends of Setsuna.

“We know Setsuna’s mother” said Keiko.

“She was very carefree and motivated” said Chizuru.

“Like our dear friend Setsuna was” said Natsuko.

“Sometimes, she invited us to meet with Setsuna when there’s a gathering and of course, you never know that she’s very uplifiting to give advice to us” said Aoi.

“It was so great that she had been blessing us because we’re friends of Setsuna” said Aoi.

“And that’s why we’re very motivated to show our passion for Setsuna” said Haruka.

“Because we’re always confident to get along with each other” said Chiaki.

“That’s why you’ll be surprised when you look at her smile” said Tomoko.

“Her smile will always cheer you up!” said Takako.

“Yeah, I agree, guys! When my father and Setsuna’s mother have been on the same clan, they used to get along with their fellow clan members when they were little. Later, when they grow up, they have their own family to live with. Setsuna ended up being Satsuki’s daughter while I became Takahiro’s daughter. Like them, Setsuna and I have been getting along with our own cousins when we have our time to celebrate like birthdays, anniversaries and so on. Setsuna was very generous to me, to be honest, because she was very passionate to show her pride and honor and with her being part of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, I was so proud of her because she made it. Of course, she had praised me when I became part of the Tamagawa Gakuen Elementary School girls’ basketball team. She even liked my performance when me and my teammates have competed in the district tournament” said Reiko.

“Wow! You must be a basketball athlete!” said Keiko.

“Just like Ai-san was!” said Chizuru.

“Really?” queried Reiko.

“Yes!” said the friends of Setsuna.

“Ai was a member of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club just like Setsuna” said Aoi.

“She’s always cheerful when it comes to making puns about love!” said Tomoko.

“Of course, you’ll be more confident to see Setsuna’s fellow friends from that club because they’re showing their smiles to perform together in front of us!” said Takako.

“Yeah, I agree! I hope that I can meet them some day, girls, because I would be more awesome to see them joining with Setsuna when she’s coming to visit to my home for sure!” said Reiko.

“Yeah!” said the friends of Setsuna.

“We can ask Setsuna to do that, Reiko-san!” said Keiko.

“Yeah! She’ll be happy to cooperate with your plan, Reiko-san!” said Akihiro.

“We can have another visit to your home, but this time, Setsuna and her fellow club members will be coming to see you” said Aoi.

“That way, we’ll have some fun time to get together with them!” said Chizuru.

“Yeah!” said Reiko and the members of the Silver Melody.

“So, tell us about your interests, guys! We want to see something amazing!” said Haruka.

“Yeah, we love to see your share!” said Akihiro.

“It’s going to nice you if you share something that excites you!” said Keita.

“Everyone is on our ears to hear everything about you and your friends!” said Chiaki.

“Okay!” said Reiko, Rina and the members of the Silver Melody as they’re going to share about their interests of each other, starting with Reiko. “For me, I became interested in playing basketball when my older brother Tatsuya taught me to learn how to dribble and shoot. He always played basketball ever since he was 9 years old and so, I had to follow his path when I entered the girls’ basketball team. It was so nice that I want to be part of that team because they’re very talented with their own plays and I became gratified that I have been helped by Asami and her fellow teammates. I’m currently playing as a starting power forward for that team and I hope that I can shine my way to make my team rally for the victory.”

“While my younger sister and brother have been interested in playing basketball, I became interested in music. I joined the Music Club where I learned to play music instruments. Some of my club members said that I prefer to use string instruments because they believe that I was interested in guitars. So, I became reluctant to play those instruments before I finally set sights of using the guitar. I used the guitar to play either acoustic or pop songs and everyone had impressed me because I was able to practice the notes before I mastered it myself. It’s so interested that I have played the guitar because you never miss the beat if you want to make your audience feel relaxed with the songs that I performed for them” said Rina Suginami.

“In our group, the Silver Melody, we became interested in either music or video games, depending on which side you’re preferring to do the most. For me, I love to hear the music because it soothes me well to relax and one time, Reiko taught me to sing, I was surprised that she was helping me to singing the songs. She was able to search some songs on the Internet before I memorize it. Then, by the time the music plays, I begin to sing through melody and harmony. It was great that I have learned to sing and it beats all the way to make sure that I’m graciously performing very well” said Misato.

“I became interested in video games because I want to explore everything in my mind and it was so good that I have to play with it at some time when I’m bored. If I’m relaxed, I decided to take a good music to make me feel better, but to be honest, playing video games was not my type when it comes to other things. So, I prefer to do both video games and music because it balances the way you want to do if you don’t have anything to do to finish your day” said Toshihiko.

“Music was very preferred choice to do when I don’t feel well because it suits you to relax yourself and you’ll be able to make yourself calm and humble. Sometimes, I want to sing through the beat and like what Misato said, you can memorize those lines before you’ll master it with your melody and harmony. It became my habit to take some music time because you never expect that you’re going to find it interesting or awesome that you hear. I became delighted to enjoy that if I want to feel better” said Maika.

“I’m very interested in music because that’s how I do when I’m feeling bored or having a hard time to relax. To be honest, I generally like to listen some songs that are popping up in my mind. Male songs are my favorite type of music to hear and a lot of guys said that the male singers have the ability to power it up, so I really got into it when I was watching a music video of a singer in the Internet. I could be a singer if I want to, but I haven’t planned on that yet” said Naoki Kitahara.

“I started to follow video games when I saw some neighbors playing Pokémon on their consoles. I got amazed to see that and so, I started to play with it. I decided to play video games every other time because I was busy with my groupmates when they needed me. For me, playing video games was fun and you have to be mindful about not to play that for long because it will cause you to addiction. So, I decided to limit my time of playing video games and focus on my studies. That way, I won’t get flunked out of school” said Seiichirō Kasahara.

“I’m not interested in either music or video games, but I was interested in watching television, specifically anime, because it makes me motivate to see how the characters entertained for the youth. On the other day, my family likes to watch movies and so, I decided to join with them because it’s a way that my family stays together as one. I don’t used to watch television at some point because I might get busy with the assignments or reviews and it makes me hard to work it out before you watch television. However, at the end of the day, I would still be optimistic to watch television, whether you watch it by yourself or with your family. It’s still fun to do that for sure” said Rina Maeda.

“I prefer to play music rather than playing video games and the reason why I got into music is because I had been hearing some J-pop songs on the radio when my family would go outside to different places in Tokyo. I became surprised when I visited Akihabara to see some idol groups performing on a big LED screen if I want to take a look for themselves. Ah, it was so nice that I like the way they performed to make the audience getting their attention. That’s why I started to get interested in idol groups because they’re shining themselves to make sure that they’ll do their best to make them famous” said Shigeko Imaizumi.

“When I was young, I begin to listen to the music because it relaxes me well to sooth myself. Then, when I joined the Music Club, I had been interested on playing the drum. I wanted to play the drum because it makes the beat so pumping that everyone hears it. By the time I have participated at a recital, I became confident that I have to do it to make the music coming alive. It was so good that I have played the drums, ever since I had to learn the basics of it before I have to practice for myself. You see, there’s a lot of things that you’re going to learn an instrument because it beats your way through a beating heart” said Hirofumi Takebe.

“Ever since I became a friend with Reiko, she introduced me to music because she was very interested to hear them like it’s soothing and peaceful. I was mindful that I wanted to use music to make sure that you’re grooving your way. When I was listening to the music, I became focused on some of the pop songs that are popular, especially when there are anime songs being released. I feel liking it when I hear those songs and it was so good that I have to relax myself. I hope that I can feel the beat when I’m relaxing myself without anything interrupted” said Mutsumi Igarashi.

“I started to play some music because it’s good to make yourself humble. I usually do that if I don’t have anything to do except if I want to go out for some walk. When you’re humble, you have to be yourself that you want to feel better. I like the way my friends do when they don’t have their time to do to finish their day and it makes me motivated to cut the stress that you have and you have to think about good thoughts for yourself. That way, you’re good to go” said Kiyomi Sawashiro.

“I generally focused on listening to the music rather than just playing video games like some boys used to because I want to relax myself to find a simple space to comfort with. Also, I was interested in woodwind instruments because I like the way my club members used when they’re practicing. I like the flute because it soothes everyone to feel calm and humble and when I used that flute for my club, I was so enthusiastic to use that for practice and recital, thus everyone impresses me on performing it. One day, I might end up playing another woodwind instrument, but I have to rely playing the flute for sure” said Akane Ōshiro.

“Music is my favorite hobby when it comes to playing with your own beat when I had been interested in hearing some pop songs that you have seen in the country. I also like to sing and dance because I feel motivated to do that if I want to express myself on doing it as I inspired some of the idol groups that have been popular in the country. When I travelled to Akihabara, I finally got thrilled to watch some of the clips of the songs from the big screen and it was so nice that I want to be with them at some time. I’m sure that there’s no surprise when you want gleam out and see those on larger screens and so, I have to imagine them for myself if I want to work hard” said Maiko Hayashi.

“Video games are my vibes to get on with it because it gives you a challenge and everyone has to make goals in order to beat the game. I personally like fantasy video games because it’s so magnificent and beautiful to see how the world goes and how it plays out with action and comedy spicing it up. Me and my boys, Kenta and Rentarō, have used to play video games together, because it was so much fun to play it out with your friends. To be honest, it’s going to be hard to beat the game, but you never know if you are lucky to make it!” said Nobuhisa Katsura.

“I personally like to play video games because you have to reveal it for yourself before you’ll enter to a different world. I’m very interested to play some fantasy video games, but sometimes, I got into other types of games like action and sports. For me, I’m into sports because I’m interested on Reiko and her brother’s basketball careers. I played a game of ‘Miracles of Basketball’ for some fun and I became eccentric to play with my other friends. It was very interesting that you have to find a right game for you to play for yourself and so, it’s going to be awesome that everyone may want to do the same thing” said Kenta Nakashima.

“The boys have been interested in playing video games, especially me. I was able to fall in love in playing sports video games when I bought a game of ‘Miracles of Basketball’. It was so popular that you have to see some of the great players like the Generation of Miracles and Taiga Kagami. I had to freak out when I look at their gameplay when the release comes out and I have to buy for it. Since then, me, Nobuhisa and Kenta have played ‘Miracles of Basketball’ if we’re done with the assignments and projects, but sometimes, we have to do that if there’s a longer break. There’s nothing you’ll worry about when you’re going to play something fun and I believe that we’re going to keep doing this until we will wait for the sequel of it” said Rentarō Tanuma.

“Wow! I’m so surprised that some of you have been interested on music! I believe that you are all music lovers!” said Keiko.

“Well, not all of us were interested in music, but we used to do that if we want to get relaxed after we have done some important things to finish” said Reiko.

“Which we don’t want to get stressed out if we want to expect good things for another day” said Rina Suginami.

“Everyone loves to hear some music, which they want to be relaxed to make sure that you find it good” said Misato.

“Well, that’s good for you! I hope that you’re all confident when you hear some music. You’re all gonna be in good shape to refresh yourself” said Keiko.

“I’m going to say that you have been feeling well to remove the stress that you have” said Chizuru.

“Just like us! We used some music to make us feel good and we have not to think about the stress that we have from school” said Aoi.

“So, we have to think good thoughts to make you feel better” said Haruka.

“Hopefully, you’re going to make sure that there’s no wrong about it” said Akihiro.

“Yeah, we’ll do that for sure. Right, guys?” said Reiko.

“Yeah!” said Rina and the members of the Silver Melody.

“So, with more guests coming to your home, guys, we should have fun together because it makes more motivated to have our smiles coming out after all” said Tomoko.

“It will be great for all of us to get enjoyed for the entire day!” said Takako.

“Yeah, you got it!” said Reiko, her sister Rina and the members of the Silver Melody while nodding their heads together to agree with Tomoko and Takako.

“So, then, what are you gonna do right now, Reiko-san?” asked Keiko.

“Well, we should play a round of pickup match with you and your friends, Keiko-san. Do you want to join with us?” said Reiko.

“Sure, we would be glad to!” said Keiko and Aoi.

“I’m down with that!” said Chizuru.

“It would be nice to play with you” said Haruka.

“No doubt about it!” said Akihiro and Keita.

“Great! That’s more I like it!” said Reina.

“Now, let’s go outside to the personal basketball court and have a great time to play basketball at the dusk!” said Rina Suginami.

“Yeah!” said Reiko, the members of the Silver Melody and the close friends of Setsuna. Reiko and her friends have been able to make friends with the close friends of Setsuna as they have shared about their interests before planning for a partnership between both sides. Reiko believes that she’s ready to make her friends plan for their extended group, so that her close friends and allies will be joining with her to work together as a circle of friends. Hopefully, when Reiko invites them, it’s going to be magnificent to see and it may be the beginning of a new chapter for her and her friends.

It’s getting coincidental to see both Silver Melody and Team Nakagawa meeting with each other because both Reiko and Setsuna were cousins in the Suginami clan. I know that both sides are having a great friendship with each other because not only they have met with each other occasionally, but they were also supporting both Reiko and Setsuna because they want them to shine with their respective careers with Reiko being a basketball athlete and Setsuna being a school idol. Setsuna was supposed to appear in this chapter, but Keiko Aragaki said that she’s not going to join with her friends because of her duties as a school idol, of course. Despite this, Reiko and her friends are getting motivated that they have welcomed the friends of Setsuna into the Suginami Residence as they’ll have great time to get along with each other while Reiko’s father had welcomed his guests for the gathering of his clan.:)

Now, before I'll wrap this up, I had some good news to all of you! I want to tell you that the view counts of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts have now reached above 95,000 as it's almost there to reach 100,000!:) I'm so happy that a lot of viewers have read my current updates of this series and it seems that it worked out very well whenever I checked it before posting an update! Hopefully, this series will be hitting a milestone of 100,000 view counts by next month if this keeps up!:D Thank you very much, everyone, for reading this series! You have been on a ride with me through your blessing and inspiration and I feel motivated for you all!:) Hopefully, when it reaches 100,000 view counts, I'll be grateful to make me motivated! So, let's keep this view count counting with your pride, courage and willpower for sure!;) The next update will be heading back to Nagoya as the Todoroki Gakuen Chapter of the Fire Edelweiss will be meeting with the Pride of Red Lily where they’re going to make their plan in forming a partnership between both sides. Of course, the Pride of Red Lily, a group based in Mizuho, Nagoya, had used red as its main color, which means the next update will have another group that its main color is red. I’ll see you on March 17 (Wednesday) for the next update of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts!

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES
CHAPTER 23: “THE TWO FLOWERS MATE WITH EACH OTHER

Date: May 7, 2010 (Friday)

This side chapter is focused on the Todoroki Gakuen chapter of the Fire Edelweiss and the Pride of Red Lily as they’ll meet with each other in the house of Saori Ishiyama in Funabara where they’re going to take their mid-day break, so that they’ll relax themselves before heading back to their homes.

The Fire Edelweiss have stayed at the house of Saori Ishiyama to take their break after their classes were over. They were hoping to wait for a special person to come out. Joining with them were Saori Ishiyama, Chika Ishizaka, Masako Tanioka, Reiko Tsujimoto and Rina Yaginuma. The house of Saori Ishiyama had a café in the terrace known as the Rose Café Paradise.

Fire Edelweiss-Todoroki Gakuen: Mika Takashima, Toshiya Ōsaki, Toshimi Morikawa, Kenta Iwashita, Haruki Hatoyama, Megumi Sugimura, Risa Hiratsuka, Kazuo Ōnuki, Rika Koshikawa, Atsushi Mitsuhashi, Keita Takanishi, Kumiko Nagaoka, Kazuma Horita and Eriko Akizuki

“So, are there many guests coming to my home because I’m going to give them some ice-cold coffee if they want?” asked Saori Ishiyama, one of the co-leaders of the Sunlight Rose.

“Well, let them decide when they are here, Saori-san. They’re coming” said Mika Takashima, the leader of the Todoroki Gakuen chapter of the Fire Edelweiss.

“Ah, okay. I’ll ask them later” said Saori.

“Sure!” said Mika.

“I’m so excited that one of your classmates will be coming to see you! Who that person is?” said Chika Ishizaka.

“I’m glad that you asked for it, Chika-san. Her name is Shinako Sumiyoshi, a friend of Miku Nishio. She’s also a good cook because she likes to make beef and chicken dishes and give those to her friends. She’s one of my classmates in section 1-4 and the leader of the Pride of Red Lily” said Mika.

“I never thought that she’s an idol just like Miku, but she might be good in cooking, which everyone likes to cook!” said Chika.

“And you never expect that there are the best cooks in Todoroki Gakuen!” said Masako Tanioka.

“Yep!” said Mika.

“So, who are the Pride of Red Lily?” asked Reiko Tsujimoto.

“They were a group of friends who followed Shinako due to their interests in cooking. They bear the color red because of Shinako had the same personality as Miku” said Toshiya Ōsaki.

“Which is passionate” said Toshimi Morikawa.

“Oh! I set it now! I guess that Shinako had liked Miku’s passionate personality because the former had seen the latter’s activities as an idol, which they got into each other to make friends. Shinako must be inspiring Miku because of that” said Reiko.

“Yeah!” said Toshiya and Toshimi.

“And on top of that, she becomes confident that she wants to be like her!” said Toshiya.

“But of course, she’s not interested to be an idol, instead she wants to be a good cook!” said Toshimi.

“Well, I guess that she had a better dream to take on, guys. I’m going to say that she’ll have high hopes to be a good cook!” said Reiko.

“And I’m very excited to see her cooking before our very eyes!” said Rina Yaginuma.

“You got that right, Rina-san! Once she’ll be here to meet us, we’re going to let her share about her cooking experience before we’ll get through the plans for a partnership” said Mika.

“What partnership, Mika-san?” asked Chika.

“Miku had told me a few days ago when she was on vacation with her friends that our group needs to get new partners, so that we’ll be able to work with them to have a successful bond between us and them. She also said that she wishes to have her own extended group because not only she’s a fan of Chika Takami of Aqours, but she’s very passionate to make success on her idol career!” said Mika.

“So, that’s what Kira and Yūmi said yesterday about the future of the Bravehearts of Nagoya” said Chika.

“What do you mean about the future of the Bravehearts of Nagoya?” asked Mika.

“They said that they are expecting to make the Bravehearts of Nagoya expand with new members and new partners through two ways” said Chika.

“One, finding new groups to join” said Masako.

“And two, forming an extended group just like how the other braveheart groups did” said Reiko.

“That’s interesting. I will expect that they’re going to work on expanding their organization, so that they’ll be partnering with them” said Mika.

“Yeah! It’s going to be great that we can have that as well, so that we’re going to organize future activities that will spark the entire community” said Megumi Sugimura.

“Of course, girls! They will make sure that they’ll give them the blessings that they want, so that the community will be full of hopes and dreams that they will have for” said Chika.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Mika and the members of the Todoroki Gakuen chapter of the Fire Edelweiss.

A female voice had come out of nowhere, which triggers Mika and her friends. “Hey, everyone!”

Mika turns around as she sees Shinako Sumiyoshi and her friends from the Pride of Red Lily. “Shinako-san! You’re finally here!” Shinako Sumiyoshi is a first year high school student from the Todoroki Gakuen High School and the leader of the Pride of Red Lily.

“Yep! I look around at your house when I hear some voices coming from the terrace and I can’t believe that it was just you and your friends!” said Shinako Sumiyoshi.

“Yeah! We were just waiting for you to come with us for a relaxing hour” said Mika.

“So that we want to make plans in partnering with you and your group!” said Megumi.

“It will be fun to partner with each other. Right?” said Toshiya.

“Yeah!” said Mika and Megumi.

“Well, that sounds good to me!” said Shinako.

“Yay!” said the members of the Todoroki Gakuen chapter of the Fire Edelweiss.

When Shinako and her friends have sat down in the table, Saori had arrived to see them. “Oh! Looks like that you’re all here! How nice of you! Now, what do you want to drink?”

“I’ll order an ice-cold coffee” said Shinako.

“Oh, me too! I’ll have one!” said the members of the Pride of Red Lily, composed of Aina Nagashima, Tōko Shimamura, Ichika Kamezawa, Sanae Kitamoto, Sachiko Morita, Asuka Tsujimura, Nanaka Katsuji, Mai Ishizu and Kazuyo Ichinose.

“We’ll go for that too, girls! What do you say?” said Mika.

“Yeah!” the members of the Todoroki Gakuen chapter of the Fire Edelweiss.

“Okay! Coming right up!” said Saori before leaving the terrace to make some ice-cold coffee in the kitchen.

“What a magnificent place to relax, Mika-san! I didn’t know that you had picked this place to relax after school” said Shinako.

“Yep! It was our favorite place to relax, so that we want to take some ice-cold coffee to refresh ourselves” said Mika.

“This place had been owned by the Ishiyamas, which Saori was included. She was able to start her business here by turning this terrace into a café” said Megumi.

“You’ll expect to see some good places to relax and drink and so, we like to stay there for an hour before we’re all going back to our homes” said Risa Hiratsuka.

“It will be fun to chat with each other while taking an ice-cold coffee” said Kenta Iwashita.

“That’s what the youngsters in Nagoya do after their classes were finished” said Haruki Hatoyama.

“Especially to higher-level students in colleges and universities too!” said Kazuo Ōnuki.

“Ah, you’re right about what you’re saying this, guys. A lot of people in bigger cities have rented ice-cold coffee, so that they’ll feel good enough to take a sip” said Shinako.

“Most people preferred to drink rather than other stuff to do after classes were over, but sometimes, the time that everyone gets a drink is during the dusk” said Aina Nagashima.

“It will be great that everyone takes a break with ice-cold coffee because they will get refreshed from their bodies and all the stress will be gone for sure” said Tōko Shimamura.

“How you ever drink ice-cold coffee after school?” asked Shinako.

“Yeah, sometimes when we want to take our stress out” said Mika.

“That will relax us to make sure that we’re energized” said Toshiya.

“Ah, that’s good! I used to drink ice-cold coffee when I can’t feel well” said Shinako.

“We also do that we’re bored after finishing our assignments. It took a great time to drink ice-cold coffee to sooth you better” said Aina.

“Oh! That’s nice too! I hope that you’ll get rid of the stress that you have because we use some different methods to remove our problems” said Mika.

“Stress is one of the things that you have to keep an eye on because it may bring more problems if you have more than one work to do” said Megumi.

“Ah, yes, I agree” said Shinako.

“Me too” said Aina and Tōko. The other members of the Pride of Red Lily have also agreed by nodding their heads too.

“By the way, Shinako-san, when is the first time that you met Miku?” asked Chika.

“Yeah, tell us!” said Masako.

“We want to hear it!” said Reiko.

“Okay!” said Shinako with a smile on her face as she’s going to explain her story about how she ended up meeting with Miku the first time. “When I was in middle school, I was so excited to enter Todoroki Gakuen after I finished graduating from elementary school in Takada. That’s when I started to make friends in my class. As for Miku, she’s a special one. She’s one-of-a-kind idol that she loves to sing with her passion. She became determined to do her idol activities to make her fans coming in their way to meet her. In our school, there a few idols studying, especially in high school. When I met her the first time, I was so excited how she wants to greet me and I became confident that I want to get to know with her. It was so nice that we get together on the first day and I have discovered a lot of new things in Todoroki Gakuen because it’s great that the environment of that school was neat and clean, which we allow to stay under the tree or relax in the bench. I love the memories back when Miku was there.”

“Yeah, she was so adored to give her friends a smile” said Chika.

“I agree, Chika-san. She became close to us when we followed her idol activities like she’s performing in front of us” said Mika.

“And she gives us what we want” said Toshiya.

“It was so glad that Miku became an idol that ended up being one of the members of the Music Girls” said Masako.

“Have you heard about that group?” asked Megumi.

“Uh, no, I never heard about that” said Shinako.

“Me neither” said Aina.

“Yeah, I don’t know that kind of idol group” said Tōko.

“All we heard was the idol groups from THE IDOLM@STER” said Ichika Kamezawa.

“And the school idol groups from Love Live!” said Sanae Kitamoto.

“But when we talked about independent idol groups that are not primarily beloged to the big names, they’re not recognized by anyone, but some day, they will rise to shine if their fans have gotten their attention to them” said Sachiko Morita.

“Oh, that’s a shame. You didn’t know that Miku had been part of that group” said Chika.

“We saw her group when Miku was on vacation” said Mika.

“She’s very honored to be part of that group” said Megumi.

“Well, I have seen her performing solo to make the audience know her name, especially in our school, but I haven’t seen her performing alongside the other idols” said Shinako.

“Uh, I see that point, Shinako-san” said Mika.

“We all know about Miku performing solo to please the audience, but we only saw the Music Girls when they have their first performance from their PV” said Chika.

“It was so dynamic, so their group going to shine!” said Megumi.

“And they’ll have their hope to get their reputation going up” said Risa.

“Yeah, we understand, girls. By the way, can you show us the promotional video that Miku performed with the other idols?” said Shinako.

Mika pulls her phone out of her bag before searching a video for Shinako and her friends to watch. Then, Mika gives the phone to Shinako before replying to her. “Here! Have fun watching this one!” The video that Shinako and her friends watched is a promotional video of the Music Girls with the title 「ON STAGE LIFE」. This song is performed by Ongaku Shoujo, composed of Lynn, Yui Ogura, Sumire Uesaka, Manami Numakura, Asami Setō, Mai Fuchigami, Karin Takahashi, Miho Okasaki, Yūko Ōno, Miyuri Shimabukuro and Nako Eguchi.

“Oh! I get it now, Mika-san! I’m so proud that Miku had been shining for her new group!” said Shinako.

“I never imagine that she had been performing with the other idols to represent their own group” said Aina.

“Good thing that she was showing her pride and passion to make the audience getting their attention to see her” said Tōko.

“I’m going to say that she’ll do anything to represent her new group, so that they’ll shine like the other groups did” said Ichika.

“Yeah, you got that right, Ichika-san! We’re always supporting for her and we became loyal to her because we have admired her performance every time she performed in front of the audience. Hopefully, she’ll expect to prepare something for her birthday party soon” said Mika.

“Her birthday will be by next month on June 15 (Tuesday)” said Chika.

“She’ll be putting a birthday party for her in Ōta, which means that we might gonna visit her right after our classes were over” said Toshiya.

“Are you expected to come to her birthday party?” asked Toshimi.

“Uh, yeah. I was so excited about this because she’s so friendly to her friends on her side and she even like her gifts that she had from them. I was so happy that she was able to smile on me when I gave her a gift, which was a diary. From that day on, she was able to remember me by writing her own story about the two of us” said Shinako.

“That’s very nice, Shinako-san. I’m sure that she’ll remember you when you will meet her again” said Toshimi.

“That way, it’ll be awesome to get along with each other again” said Kazuo.

“Yeah!” said Shinako with a smile on her face.

“So, Shinako-san, what are you expecting to prepare when it comes your interests in cooking?” asked Kenta.

“Because everyone knows that you’re a good cook” said Haruki.

“Uh… yeah, I like to cook dishes because my mother taught me how to cook when I was just 13 years old. She had given me the ingredients on what dishes I will make and I was able to cook those by myself. One thing that I like the most is that I like to cook beef and chicken dishes because they’re my favorites! I like the way I cooked dishes ever since my mother had been working in a local restaurant and one day, I may replace her when she’ll retire soon” said Shinako.

“Wow! You must be cooking for your mother! How nice of you!” said Kenta.

“I’m so amazed that you’re good in cooking, but even though you’re still young to cook, you have already memorized the procedures of cooking a dish” said Haruki.

“I believe that you should take a culinary course when you’re going to college, Shinako-san. There are some schools that have culinary courses” said Rika Koshikawa.

“You will be able to learn more about cooking, girl” said Atsushi Mitsuhashi.

“Well, I’m interested to take a culinary course, but that’s one of my plans that I’m going to take on once I’m finishing my high school studies in Todoroki Gakuen. I’m going to do anything to pass all subjects in flying colors, so that I’ll be able to enter a new school that fits my dream of becoming a great cook” said Shinako.

“Then, you have to cherish that if you want to succeed in high school” said Reiko.

“A lot of students have to think their future before they’ll decide on what to do when the time has come to enter a new school. It’s where everyone’s dreams to be made and you should be ready for that” said Rina.

“Yeah, I agree. I’ll do my best to make sure that I’ll be able to create my own future of becoming a great cook!” said Shinako.

“That’s my girl, Shinako-san! I’m so happy that you’re ready to cook for us!” said Aina.

“I’m so inspired that you’re going to run your own business when your mother will retire” said Tōko.

“It’s going to be awesome that you’re going to make it no time!” said Ichika.

“We’ll make sure that you won’t let us down!” said Sanae.

“Since you’re the leader of the Pride of Red Lily, you’ll do it for us!” said Sachiko.

“Yeah!” said Asuka Tsujimura, Nanaka Katsuji, Mai Ishizu and Kazuyo Ichinose.

“Well, I’m appreciated to do it for you, girls!” said Shinako.

“Yay!” said the members of the Pride of Red Lily.

Saori would return to the terrace before giving the ice-cold coffees to the members of the Todoroki Gakuen chapter of the Fire Edelweiss and the Pride of Red Lily. “Here you go! Have fun drinking with some ice-cold coffee!”

“Thanks, Saori-san!” said the members of the Todoroki Gakuen chapter of the Fire Edelweiss while the members of the Pride of Red Lily did not add ‘Saori-san’ while thanking her. The members of the Todoroki Gakuen chapter of the Fire Edelweiss and the Pride of Red Lily have drink their ice-cold coffee together.

“I’ll take that one too, Saori-san! I’m so thirsty” said Chika.

“Yeah, me too” said Masako.

“Oh, sure! Have yourself a drink!” said Saori as she gives the ice-cold coffee to Chika, Masako, Reiko and Rina.

Mika and Shinako would have been the first to finish drinking all of ice-cold coffee and so, they were finally refreshed. “Ah! That’s better!”

“I’m so thrilled that this ice-cold coffee had made me refreshed!” said Shinako.

“Yep! It’s one of the best cold drinks in Funabara!” said Mika.

“I agree with that, girl!” said Shinako.

“I’m so thrilled that this drink would make us feel good since we’re on a relaxing place” said Aina.

“I believe that we can often visit this place to drink some ice-cold coffee to make us feel better” said Tōko.

“Yeah, that’s true, girls, but say, I had some thoughts about catering the community to give them food. What do you think?” said Shinako.

“Well, that was a good idea, Shinako-san! It’s going to be great that we can put up a food stall to give the people what they want to eat” said Mika.

“That way, we’ll be able to invest money together!” said Shinako.

“Yeah!” said Mika.

“I think that you girls can reach me up if you want to make that happen” said Saori.

“Really, Saori-san? You want to help us?” queried Mika.

“Yep! I had been catering my own customers, so that they’ll be able to buy some ice-cold coffee and other sweets. Your idea may be fantastic to do, but it would be better it we can work together as a team. What do you think?” said Saori.

“Well, I’m good with that” said Shinako.

“Of course! You’ll be able to help us cater our friends in Funabara and Kitahara to buy our dishes” said Mika.

“Sure! I would be glad to, Mika-san!” said Saori.

“So, if you three will work together to cater the community, then you need to think of a bright idea to spice it up before you’ll put up a food stall to cate them” said Chika.

“That way, you’ll be able to make the customers feel happy to buy your food” said Masako.

“Oh, that’s a good one, girls! I think that we can create our own brand” said Mika.

“That way, it’ll bring the attention to the people in our community to see what we’re selling” said Saori.

“Yeah, I agree, girls!” said Shinako before coming up of a name. “I guess that we can call this as ‘The Passion Scheme’. It will represent the three of us!”

“That’s a good name, Shinako-san! I’ll take it!” said Mika.

“I agree with her too!” said Saori.

“What do you think, everyone?” asked Mika.

“Will you accept ‘The Passion Scheme’ as the name of our food shop?” asked Shinako.

“Yeah, we’ll do it!” said Aina and Tōko.

“Yes, we will!” said the other members of the Pride of Red Lily.

“I like that name! It’s surely a passionate way to cater the community” said Megumi.

“And that will give everyone their time to buy some food in that shop” said Toshiya.

“That will give the community their blessings to buy some food, so that they won’t be desperate anymore” said Toshimi.

“Yeah!” said the other members of the Todoroki Gakuen chapter of the Fire Edelweiss.

“Okay, then! It’s settled!” said Mika.

“The Passion Scheme, it is!” said Shinako, which makes the members of the Todoroki Gakuen chapter of the Fire Edelweiss and the Pride of Red Lily delighted to witness the partnership between Mika, Saori and Shinako.

“Oh, I’m so excited that Saori will be partnering with both Mika and Shinako!” said Chika.

“It’s going to be good that they’ll bless the community with dishes and drinks that will be sold” said Masako.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Reiko and Rina.

“Hopefully, when they’ll open the shop, I believe that it’s going to be their time to bless them” said Reiko.

“The community is now coming to the three and they’ll do anything to make them happy for sure!” said Rina.

“You said it, girls!” said Chika and Masako.

“Now that we have that name, when are we going to plan on building this?” asked Shinako.

“I think that we’re going to plan on this very soon because both Fire Edelweiss and Sunlight Rose will be planning to form their extended groups” said Mika.

“Yep! In order to make our activity to happen at any time, we’re going to build a new circle of friends, so that everyone is interested to partner with us” said Saori.

“Ah, okay. I think that I’ll be helping with that, girls! I have some friends of mine who can partner with the two of you. That way, we’ll be able to get progress of forming your own circle of friends” said Shinako.

“Really? You have some friends of yours?!” exclaimed Mika.

“Are you serious?!” surprisingly asked Saori.

“Yep! The Pride of Red Lily had some associates to partner with, which means that we’re open to invite them to be part of that circle of friends that you’re planning” said Shinako.

“We’ll let you know if they’re ready to partner with you. Is that okay with that?” said Aina.

“Yeah, sure!” said Mika.

“You bet that right!” said Saori.

“Great!” said Shinako and Aina.

“So, when are you going to schedule the plan to open a food stall?” asked Toshiya.

“Probably, by next month after the mid-term examinations and there are also some few activities that we need to take” said Mika.

“Right now, all of us have come back from the Golden Week break and so, we have to be ready on what’s going to happen next in a few days” said Shinako.

“Well, I hope that we can have time to work on your ideas because it may not work if you plan it early” said Toshiya.

“The only way that you can make that happen in a better way is to brainstorm your ideas on what to plan on, so that when it’s almost time to work on a big project, it’s going to be big enough to finalize it” said Toshimi.

“That would be a chance to plan on those in no time!” said Megumi.

“I hope that this works for the three of you” said Risa.

“Sure, we will!” said Mika, Saori and Shinako.

“We’ll focus first on the extended group system before we’ll work on our plan, so that we’re ready to bless the community for sure. Right, the two of you?” said Mika.

“Yeah!” said Saori and Shinako.

“Ah, it feels good that a new partnership had been made and hopefully, we’re going to do our best to work together to make the community shine” said Mika.

“Yeah!” said Saori, Chika, Masako, Reiko, Rina and the members of the Todoroki Gakuen chapter of the Fire Edelweiss and the Pride of Red Lily.

“I know that this is the beginning of our partnership, but we still have work on building a circle of friends for both Fire Edelweiss and Sunlight Rose” said Saori.

“Yeah! We’ll be going to meet the close friends of Yūmi, so that we’ll form our very own extended group to represent for Yūmi” said Chika.

“And while for us, we’re going to meet up with the close friends of Miku including the admired fans of hers from the other schools in Mizuho” said Mika.

“That way, we’re going to create a foundation of making an extended group to be served as a fan base to support Miku” said Megumi.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Todoroki Gakuen chapter of the Fire Edelweiss.

“Now, let’s build new partners with our own way and one day, we’ll execute our plan!” said Mika.

“Yeah!” said Saori, Chika, Masako, Reiko, Rina and the members of the Todoroki Gakuen chapter of the Fire Edelweiss and the Pride of Red Lily. The process of forming an extended group of the Todoroki Gakuen chapter of the Fire Edelweiss had been started as Mika and Shinako are going to work together alongside Saori in planning to sell dishes and drinks to the people of Funabara and Kitahara. Both Todoroki Gakuen chapter of the Fire Edelweiss and Pride of Red Lily have settled their partnership, thanks to their leaders agreeing to work together and it’s going to be fun that both groups will be ready to shine together to bless their community through pride and passion that Miku had when she was formerly a student of the Todoroki Gakuen Middle School.

The next profile of the characters of the Red Section Series will be composed of Shinako Sumiyoshi and the Pride of Red Lily. Shinako Sumiyoshi is a former schoolmate of Miku Nishio (CV: Miho Okasaki), a member of the Music Girls, when they were in the Todoroki Gakuen Middle School. Shinako had followed Miku’s idol career because she had praised the latter’s performance when the latter had started her idol career. Of course, Miku was very popular, being followed by her fellow schoolmates in the Todoroki Gakuen Middle School before she would leave Nagoya to study at the Hasekura High School, a private high school that is located in Ōta. Shinako had created her own group known as the Pride of Red Lily, which she had invited her friends to follow Miku when she had been busy with her idol career. Even Miku had gone to Tokyo for high school and join the Music Girls, Shinako and her friends have continued to follow her through her idol activities after all.

The partnership between the Fire Edelweiss and the Pride of Red Lily becomes the first stage of bringing the Fire Edelweiss into making new allies and partners, so that they’ll be able to expand the fan base of Miku, who had been a member of the Music Girls. It’s very interesting to see this happen and it’s going to be great that Miku will finally be delighted to have more followers to watch out for her. Since she’s one of my favorite characters of Ongaku Shoujo alongside Kotoko Kintoki and Sarasa Ryuō, I’ll be happy to see her smile when she’s performing for her fans, which means that her followers will be ready to gleam for her! The next update will be focused on the Tama Dragonworks, one of the groups that took part of the Rainbow Angels, as they’re going to contemplate themselves in what they’ll be planning next. By the way, only seven chapters away from heading to the middle of the Red Section Series and it will be great to look out for new hopes and dreams to see with! So, get ready to indulge yourselves when you’ll witness some characters that their main color is red and their allies in the next set of updates!
