Birthday Update 3: "Subaru’s Monochrome Plan for Rumi’s Invitation to Join the Bravehearts of Ōta"
Part 2
“Now, I hope that you’re all set for this conversation because we’re going to start right now!” said Ayumu.
“Yeah!” said Rumi, Subaru, their friends, the members of the Nijigasaki High School Club, the Bravehearts of Minato and Hōkago Climax Girls and the allies of Hinako.
Ayumu would speak to Kaho Komiya of Hōkago Climax Girls if the latter will go first to share her dream plan. “So, shall we start with you, Kaho-chan, because your group had some fun plans to come out?”
“Yes, we have!” said Kaho Komiya, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Sekigawa Elementary School and the leader of Hōkago Climax Girls, which makes Ayumu give her a smile.
“Good! Now, start sharing about your plan!” said Ayumu.
“You got it!” said Kaho, Chiyoko, Juri, Rinze and Natsuha. The members of Hōkago Climax Girls are composed of Kaho Komiya, Chiyoko Sonoda (not related to Umi Sonoda of µ’s), Juri Saijō, Rinze Morino and Natsuha Arisugawa.
Kaho would start explaining about her dream plan to be made by Hōkago Climax Girls. “In our dream plan, our group and the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club will be having a picnic after the first term is over. We’re going to visit any of the picnic parks in Tokyo to have that, so that we’re going to have a great time to enjoy together.”
“That’s right, Kaho-chan! Not only us and NijiGaku will be involved, but we’re also gonna invite some other members from different idol groups in the 283 Production to be part of this fantastic activity” said Chiyoko Sonoda, a second year high school student from the Sekigawa High School and a member of Hōkago Climax Girls.
“That way, we’ll be able to make this picnic more fantastic as it should be” said Juri Saijō, a second year high school student from the Sekigawa High School and a member of Sekigawa High Schol and a member of Hōkago Climax Girls.
“We love to get climax moments when we organized activities as an idol group, but we want to get more on those by collaborating with other groups, so that we’ll be able to develop an awesome relationship with them” said Rinze Morino, a first year high school student from the Sekigawa High School and a member of Sekigawa High Schol and a member of Hōkago Climax Girls.
“And since we’re more of a climax group, we can do whatever we want because it’s all about and exciting things to enjoy!” said Natsuha Arisugawa, a second year college student from the Kokushikan University Tama Campus and a member of Hōkago Climax Girls.
“Ah, that’s a good idea, girls! I believe that you guys want to have fun with them by organizing a picnic!” said Aoi.
“I love picnics and this is what we do occasionally when we have to celebrate for ourselves” said Satsuki.
“It’s more like a gathering, but you can do whatever we want” said Tae.
“I agree, girls! I was really interested to have fun with my friends and that’s why it’s great that we have formed this group, so that we want to represent then fun side to take action” said Kaho.
“And make fantastic moments to show that we’re running the place like no other” said Chiyoko.
“Ah, I see!” said Aoi.
“That sounds like you have some good plans to enjoy yourselves” said Satsuki.
“I believe that you have been motivated to organize those, so that you’ll be able to make everyone get into the attention to have fun” said Tae.
“Yes, of course!” said Kaho while Chiyoko, Juri, Rinze and Natsuha nod their heads in agreement.
“By the way, are you close friends with NijiGaku?” asked Ayami.
“Uh, yes, we are, however, only me, Chiyoko and Juri have recognized them the most because we’re more interested in gleaming idols around Tokyo” said Kaho.
“We have seen them in online videos a few times, but just like us, they haven’t some attentions yet until they have started to work together at the same time” said Chiyoko.
“Of course, we have our own set of friends with them when our group have met them one day during the spring break. This is where I became friends with Karin and Ai, Chiyoko became friends with Ayumu and Shizuku, Kaho became friends with Setsuna and Kasumi, Rinze became friends with Rina and Natsuha became friends with Emma and Kanata. The reason why we became friends with them is because they were very more motivated with their smiles just like we did and that’s why we started building a partnership with them as we want to invite them to our fun and exciting activities” said Juri.
“That’s right, Juri-san. Our club had been interested to make friends with different idols around Tokyo, especially to those that participated in school idol competitions, which allow us to collaborate with them for activities to shine together” said Setsuna.
“What’s more important is that sometimes, they have participated school idol festivals if they have desired to compete against one another. However, our club isn’t fully prepared yet” said Ai.
“Some of us will be planning to participate in solo idol competitions such as Diver Fes, which will take place in Diver City by the end of the month” said Karin.
“Which means, we’ll wait until we’ll finally have a chance to participate in those competitions for sure” said Kanata.
“For now, we will continue facing our challenges that we need to get it done, so that we’re gonna be ready for those competitions if we want to shine” said Kasumi.
“Ah, that’s good. I’m very excited about that partnership because it will be better to make the activities more into good moments, so that they will never forget about those” said Ayami.
“I’m sure that you’ll have plans to invite us for some activities that you’ll be planning” said Yuzu.
“So that, we want to have some fun!” said Yuiko.
“I would be glad to, but for now, we still have more plans to do, but one day, when we’re gonna organize future activities that involves fans and idols…” said Kaho.
“…you’ll be my guests to get more into climax and energizing moments for you to shine!” said Chiyoko.
“Yeah!” said Yuiko, Yuzu and Ayami.
“I love your dream plan of yours, which is where you will invite them into the picnic. Maybe, you can have a plan to collaborate with us if you want to” said Kōji.
“Of course, we can! We can do that if you can make us the call because we want to get some fun with everyone and if they want to get involved for fun and exciting, we’re going to do anything just for you!” said Kaho.
“Also, as an idol group, we have our own stand as we want to make everyone get some fun with our ways and we can do that by make our fans energize” said Chiyoko.
“So, in our group, we wanted to cater fans that are interested in fun and exciting moments and that’s why we have our own fan club. Especially, when we have been involved in fan conventions, we were admired by them to make sure that we stayed motivated for sure!” said Juri.
“The more that we have climax to show up…” said Rinze.
“…the better that we want to shine our way with our smiles” said Natsuha.
“Ah, that’s good, I like that!” said Kōji.
“I’m very determined that you’ll make everyone have some fun!” said Shinako.
“Yeah! We love fun when it comes to outside school because that’s how we do to make us shine just like yours!” said Rina Aonuma.
“I’m very motivated that you had a great plan to work on and I hope that it’s going to happen as soon as you’re all done with your studies” said Momo.
“It’s almost summertime, but I hope that once the first term is done, you’re all set to do anything to make everyone happy” said Hinako.
“That way, your fans and allies will be getting excited to see you when you’re in the spotlight!” said Emiri.
“Yeah!” said Kaho, Chiyoko, Juri, Rinze and Natsuha.
Subaru would ask Kaho a question if her group had been friends with a braveheart group. “Did you have friends from any braveheart group?”
“Well, we have at least two high schoolers became friends with and they were Kazuyo Minagawa and Risa Kusanagi. They were second year high school students from the Shintama Reigyo High School and members of the Bravehearts of Tama, led by Genjirō Ogawa” said Kaho.
“They were not interested in idols, but they were interested in sports because they’re sporty and more motivated to get healthy” said Chiyoko.
“But also, one thing that you find it coincidental is that they became friends with my cousin in Kaoru Saijō, who was more enthusiastic in representing the track and field team” said Juri. Kaoru Saijō is a second year high school student from the Shintama Reigyo High School and the cousin of Juri Saijō. She’s also a member of the Shintama Reigyo High School track and field team.
“Ah, that’s very nice! I didn’t know that you girls became friends with them!” said Subaru.
“Yeah, we would be expected to see some connection with a braveheart group in your hometown, but I’m glad that you have befriended them” said Kazunari.
“I’m sure that you have gotten with them since they’re blessed and inspired” said Aoi.
“Yeah, we agree!” said Kaho, Chiyoko, Juri, Rinze and Natsuha.
“Kazuyo and Risa were very motivated to show their hustle when it comes to preparing themselves for a good participation and of course, they were good enough to show their pride and honor for their school” said Rinze.
“They have participated in athletic competitions since they were athletes in track and field and they’re very pretty strong, I tell you!” said Natsuha.
“Oh, that’s great! I have recognized them when we met them last summer” said Subaru.
“Where we have ridden some bicycle all the way to Tama New Town” said Aoi.
“They’re always here to get themselves worked out with their bodies and they’re so flexible to show how it’s done” said Banri.
“They’re also friends with Chizuru Horikawa, Yasuko Takanawa and Miyaka Naganuma” said Kazunari.
“They were all coming from the Shintama Reigyo High School girls’ basketball team” said Ayame Shionji.
“Which means that they used to get along with each other at the gym after the classes were over” said Satsuki.
“One day, they’ll look stronger thanks to their workout and they’re good to go” said Tae.
“Oh! So, you recognize them?” asked Juri.
“Yeah!” said Subaru and the members of the Luminous Camellia.
“Ah, good for you! I knew that you have been friends with them!” said Juri.
“They’re friendlier when you saw them eye to eye” said Chiyoko.
“That’s why they have been motivated to show their pride and heart to make sure that they will get the job done” said Rinze.
“It’s so nice that you have recognized them and hopefully, they’ll be here to smile for you” said Natsuha.
“Hopefully, when you’ll meet them again, you’ll have your time to get along with them for sure!” said Kaho.
“Yes, we will!” said Subaru and the members of the Luminous Camellia.
“That was a nice plan that you got, Kaho-chan. Picnic is a good activity for idols if they want to relax and enjoy their day while taking a break from idol stuff” said Ayumu.
“But it would be better if we can have that after everything is done in the first term” said Karin.
“Since most of us are still focused on the academics while getting busy with the other goals that they need to accomplish” said Ai.
“Whether in our school or not” said Emma.
“We will approve your plan once we’re no longer busy with school and idol stuff” said Kasumi.
“So that, we’ll be able to refresh ourselves for sure!” said Setsuna.
“Well, I’m okay with that, girls. You see, as idols, we still have a lot of things to do to get it done, especially, when we’re going to have some performance in a few weeks” said Kaho.
“Because in our production, our producer had assigned each group to perform in different places, so that they will be able to get their chance to shine and make the fans getting their attention to follow them” said Chiyoko.
“And when it comes to our group, we want the followers that are very interested in fun, excitement and enthusiasm and so, we decided to take the advantage on that when our producer wanted us to perform big time” said Juri.
“Since then, we’re more motivated to have followers in our fan base, especially to those that they were coming from the suburb areas within Tokyo” said Rinze.
“Hopefully, we will be ready to keep this up because this is what we run as we’re here to make the climax for a good time. Right, girls?” said Natsuha.
“Yeah, we agree!” said Kaho, Chiyoko, Juri and Rinze.
“I like your characteristics of making your followers get some fun and excitement because they are hyped to see you perform” said Shizuku.
“Your group had been doing great because your fans have impressed you with your great efforts, which Kanata-chan watched one of your performances online” said Kanata.
“I believe that you will have high hopes in your idol careers, Kaho-chan and friends. Rina-chan Board: Wink!” said Rina Tennōji.
“It’s so great that you have worked together as an idol group and it seems that I can join the fun whatever I want with your plan!” said Yu.
“I agree, Yu-chan! I’ll approve the plan as soon as we’re going to that plan through when it’s almost summer break” said Ayumu.
“Then, we can finalize this up for sure!” said Ai.
“That way, your plan will be good to go!” said Karin.
“Yeah, we will!” said Kaho, Chiyoko, Juri, Rinze and Natsuha.
“Oh, I have one question to ask you, Kaho-san” said Subaru.
“Ah, okay. Just ask anything you want, so that we can answer” said Kaho.
“Sure!” said Subaru as he’s going to ask Kaho and the rest of Hōkago Climax Girls. “What will you say if you can help us working on a partnership in the future?”
“What partnership?” asked Kaho.
“You know, we can invite you to our home at the Misawa Resort Hotel, so that we will be able to have some fun like spending a great time at the beach” said Subaru.
“Oh, I see. Well, to be honest, I would love to go with you!” said Kaho.
“Yeah, me too!” said Chiyoko.
“You can count on us!” said Juri.
“It would be an honor to visit that place” said Rinze.
“That sounds like a good plan to me!” said Natsuha.
“Okay. But as you all know, we’re going to need you to get along with Tomoka and her friends, so that you’ll have time to make your fun and excitement going for the blast” said Subaru.
“Well, I’m okay with your idea, but who’s Tomoka?” queried Kaho.
“Yeah, I want to know about her!” said Chiyoko.
Subaru gives Kaho and Chiyoko a smile as he replies to them. “I’m glad you asked. You see, Tomoka is a first year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a member of the school’s girls’ basketball team.”
“She’s a great shooter and she can do anything with her blooming shots” said Aoi.
“Which is why she is considered the ‘dearest’ of all girls that I have trained when Subaru was coaching the Keishin Academy Elementary School girls’ basketball team” said Satsuki.
“She already had a brighter future as she was able to start developing her career ever since she was little” said Tae.
“And now, she’s improving right now” said Aoba.
“It’s so nice to see her being one of the rising stars in her class, alongside her teammates and rivals as she’s very determined to rally for the win” said Banri.
“We’ll always gonna watch out for her because she’s gonna bloom for you!” said Misaki.
“Making sure that she’s the top player in her class” said Kazunari.
“Ah, I spy a basketball player out there!” said Juri.
“That girl had a good talent. I like the way she played well. Don’t you agree, Juri-san?” said Rinze.
“Yeah, Rinze-san! When I was playing basketball before, I was so good at it because I was able to shine with my moves, but until I stopped playing that sport, so that I became an idol and be part of this group” said Juri.
“You’re the brain in our group, Juri-san. Everyone knows that you’re athletic” said Natsuha.
“With your sexy body that gives some hustle” said Chiyoko.
“Hopefully, you’ll keep that up because you’re better to shine just like us” said Kaho.
“Yes, I agree, girls. Even though I didn’t play basketball anymore, I’m still motivated myself” said Juri.
“Yeah, I agree, Juri-san” said Kaho while Chiyoko, Rinze and Natsuha nod their heads in agreement to agree with Juri.
“So, what do you think, girls? Can you partner with us one day?” asked Subaru.
“Sure, we would be glad to!” said Kaho.
“Yeah! I want to get some excitement in that place for myself!” said Chiyoko.
“I’m good with that!” said Juri.
“It would be a pleasure to take that partnership” said Rinze.
“That would be fantastic!” said Natsuha.
“Okay, then, we’ll contact you one day, so that we can settle this one right after your plan with Ayumu and her fellow club members” said Subaru.
“We’ll update that once we’re done with our activities in the first term” said Aoi.
“Okay, we will!” said Kaho, Chiyoko, Juri, Rinze and Natsuha.
“Wow! I’m surprised that you have that plan, Subaru-san!” said Kōji.
“Yeah, those girls are really looked good in making their life fun and exciting” said Motoyuki.
“Because they’re more into climax, so that everything will be shocking as soon as they want to keep the fun for sure” said Yūjirō.
“They’ll always be there for surprises, I tell you!” said Junsei.
“Yep. They’re very good idols because they have some great talent and that’s why it’s going to be fantastic that we’ll partner with them once they’re done with their activity” said Subaru.
“That’s how the braveheart-idol partnership builds in our group” said Aoi.
“Yeah, we agree!” said Kōji, Motoyuki, Yūjirō and Junsei.
“We’ll wait for your update about your plan with us, so that we’ll be ready to be with you!” said Kaho.
“You got it!” said Subaru.
“Okay, thank you very much, Kaho-chan, for your sharing about your dream plan with us!” said Ayumu before going to announce the next person to share. “Now, the next person to share about his/her dream plan will be you, Kōji and the Bravehearts of Minato. You have your dream plan, so share it to us.”
“Of course, Ayumu-san” said Kōji while giving Ayumu a smile as he’s going to share about his dream plan with the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. “My dream plan is to continue to expansion of our group where we’re going to welcome some new members that are associated to the circle of friends of Ayumu and Shizuku.”
“WHAT?!” shouted Rumi, Subaru, their friends and the members of Hōkago Climax Girls and the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club as they gasp in surprise, finding out that the Bravehearts of Minato will be trying to expand their group where they wanted to recruit the groups that have been associated to the circle of friends of Ayumu and Shizuku.
“No way!” shouted Subaru.
“You can’t do that!” exclaimed Aoi.
“Welcoming new groups that have been allied to my cousin and Ayumu?!” replied Rumi.
“Are you out of your mind?!” shouted Kasumi.
“That sounds like you want to focus on making a close friendship with Ayumu and Shizuku. Fascinating!” said Kaho.
“That’s an interesting plan, Kōji-san!” said Ayumu.
“But how are you going to do that?” queried Shizuku.
Kōji would reply to Shizuku through his wisdom as he’s about to explain it to everyone. “Well, I’m glad that you asked for it, Shizuku-san, because me and my fellow groupmates are gonna explain this right now.”
“Okay!” said Rumi, Subaru, their friends and the members of Hōkago Climax Girls and the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club as they’re going to listen to what Kōji will say about his dream plan.
“You see, our school, the Hanzōsen High School, said to have at least 10% of their students have supported the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club due to two reasons: (1) a student is a close friend to any of their members and (2) a student is closed ties either with the Uehara or Ōsaka clans whether he/she is a family member or a relative” said Kōji.
“Also, my group, the Ribbon Sun, and Hinako’s group, the Aqua and Orange Sparkle, have been friends with some from the high school level” said Shinako.
“These factors become one point that Hanzōsen is one of the thirteen schools that have been part of a high school consortium known as Minato Dream Consortium, composed of the private schools from Minato that have one simple goal” said Azusa.
“To make bigger developments for the brighter future in Minato” said Hinako.
“The Minato Dream Consortium is a special association of schools that have offered scholarships to anyone, who were worthy to create their dreams that they want to make it big” said Ruriko.
“That’s why these special types of schools were very unique to say because not only they were excellent in academics, but they also accomplished a lot of competitions including sports and music competitions” said Yasue.
“One thing that you find it coincidental is that Nijigasaki is also part of that consortium” said Reina.
“Which means that some students from our school have been fans of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club due to their impression on the performance of the group and they have given positive reviews to them” said Suzuka.
“That’s why we decided to make this dream plan in order to have bigger chance to organize future activities and collaborations that will strengthen our partnership” said Hinata.
“Interesting. I never seen that idea before” said Kazunari.
“Yeah, me too, I found out that this kind of friendship between the two schools are good to be true” said Ayame Shionji.
“It seems that you guys have known with each other since NijiGaku was reformed” said Banri.
“Yes, we are!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Minato and the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.
“Our club was just reformed with the help of Yu Takasaki and then, most of us have been able to step up through school idol activities across Odaiba” said Ayumu.
“We were able to show how it’s done by showing our voice to perform” said Kasumi.
“It’s very nice to see a lot of students have liked our performance, especially the PR videos that we made for the promotion of our club” said Setsuna. The PR videos that Setsuna was referring to are the songs 「虹色 Passions!」 and 「NEO SKY, NEO MAP!」, performed by the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, composed of Aguri Ōnishi, Mayu Sagara, Kaori Maeda, Miyu Kubota, Natsumi Murakami, Akari Kitō, Tomori Kusunoki, Maria Sashide and Chiemi Tanaka. Those songs are the opening and ending theme songs of the first season of
Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.
“We’re very motivated that the students of Nijigasaki have praised us because they loved our performance, which makes us feel confident that we’re ready to create our own future in Nijigasaki” said Ai.
“That’s right, Ai-chan! It’s so great that our club had been doing a great job in making good performances, thus a lot of students have followed us because they want to follow their examples of being us” said Emma.
“Like they want to create their dream, so that one day, they’ll make it come true” said Rina Tennōji.
“Our school idol club had always believed in our dreams because we want to make sure that we’re going to make progress of our school idol careers, so that we’ll become successful just like µ’s and Aqours did” said Kanata.
“Yep. If we want to become successful just like them, then we’re going to gleam and shine to make sure that we’ll have a successful performance for sure!” said Shizuku.
“That’s why everyone in our club had high hopes to keep it up and hopefully, one day, we’re ready to elevate to the next level” said Karin.
“There are a lot of school idol activities for each of us, especially me, even though I’m not a school idol and so, we’re gonna try our best to make us proud!” said Yu.
“You said it, Yu-chan! Hopefully, you’re all thrilled to see us because this is only just the beginning for us. Right, girls?” said Ayumu.
“Yeah!” said the members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.
“That’s awesome, girls!” said Rumi.
“I’m motivated for that!” said Satsuki.
“I’m sure that you’ll be ready to perform together!” said Yuzu.
“We want to see your performance for ourselves!” said Yuiko.
“It would be fantastic that you can do it!” said Ayami.
“We’ll watch out for that for sure!” said Tae.
“Yeah, we will!” said the members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.
“What a great bond of friendship that you have, Kōji-san! You had a great plan that you want to expand your group, so that they’ll be here to support you” said Subaru.
“You had a good enthusiasm to negotiate and build everything for your hometown” said Kazunari.
“It seems that you are a good leader after all” said Banri.
“Thanks, boys! I have been leading this group since I created it last spring, but in our Bravehearts of Minato, we want to make the difference because it’s our way to make everyone part of our ‘family of bravehearts’ to make sure that we’re going to build together as one” said Kōji,
“And because Hanzōsen is more on making dreams to go big one day, we want to expect good things to happen as soon as we’re ready to be on the move” said Reina.
“I agree, Reina-san! Our goal to bless and inspire everyone with dreams being big and it’ll be fantastic to make everyone getting motivated and thrilled because this is what we do make us close together after all” said Shinako.
“As representing the northern part of Minato, we want to be more confident in making the different to have the brighter future in our hands and that’s why we’re friendly to everyone on our side” said Rina Aonuma.
“Especially to those that they were acquaintances just like you, guys” said Momo.
“Yeah, we agree!” said Rumi, Subaru, their friends and the members of Hōkago Climax Girls.
“Our extended group system had been made for each mainstream group that they were part of and that’s why it’s so great that everyone had their own circle of friends to represent with” said Hinako.
“Such as the Gleaming Droplet, which is the extended group of the Aqua and Orange Sparkle” said Nanami Miyashiro, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and the leader of the Aqua and Orange Sparkle.
“And the Rainbow Dream Minato, which is the extended group of the Ribbon Sun” said Azusa.
“Since then, we have a lot of friends and allies that we recruited them, so that they want to follow the examples of being blessed and inspired” said Emiri.
“Yep. You’re right about that, Emiri-chan, but that’s not all! We also welcomed new members that are coming from different schools including our rival school, the Shushiba Middle School” said Ruriko. Shushiba is one of the rival schools of Hanzōsen for the elementary school division when both sides have squared off against each other in the quarterfinals of the district tournament last winter. Hanzōsen would win the match in a close game, 63-60.
“In that school, we invited Shinako’s rival, Moeko Higashikuni” Yasue.
“And her friends, Sayaka Morinaka and Natsuko Tomizawa” said Sachie Ishihara, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Hanzōsen Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Minato.
“They were bold enough to show their pride and heart for their varsity team because they’re one of the strongest elementary school girls’ basketball teams in Minato” said Ayame Murakami, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Hanzōsen Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Minato. She is not related to Natsumi Murakami, the voice actress of Ai Miyashita, a member of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.
“But when it comes to outside basketball, they’re very enthusiastic to make friends, especially they have respected us” said Yumi Tsurimi, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Hanzōsen Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Minato.
“That’s right, girls. We used to be fierce when we’re running in the court, but we were more thrilled to get along with friends and rivals, especially to my rival Shinako and her friends” said Moeko Higashikuni, a first year middle school student of the Shushiba Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Minato. She is the rival of Shinako Takanashi.
“We belonged to an elite school just like Hanzōsen and not only we’re trying our best to be good in academics, but we want to excel in extracurricular activities as well” said Sayaka Morinaka, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Shushiba Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Minato.
“It’s great to make friends with our rivals, but of course, you’ll be surprised when everyone is looking forward to witness a match between friends in the tournament” said Natsuko Tomizawa, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Shushiba Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Minato.
“I agree with your words, Natsuko-san. Since then, we’re all here to run together to bless the community” said Shinako.
“Even we’re rivals, we’re still here to help you one another, so that our bonds of friendship will continue to develop” said Rina Aonuma.
“Hopefully, one day, when our team and your team will square off, it will be a great match-up that will never forget” said Ruriko.
“Yeah, you said it!” said Moeko.
“I’m looking forward to it!” said Sayaka.
“We’re not gonna get easy on you, even we have known with each other for a long time!” said Natsuko.
“Yeah!” said Shinako, Rina and Ruriko while the other members of the Bravehearts of Minato smile on their faces to show their enthusiasm and respect to their rivals.
“Well, I see that you have a good rivalry, but it seems that you have grown your friendship stronger, girls” said Aoi.
“Yes, we are!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Minato.
“Moeko and I have been rivals back when we were little in Aomi as teammates before we go separate ways” said Shinako.
“Yep. The two of us have been playing basketball back in our elementary school days alongside our other rivals where we have so much fun to play with” said Moeko.
“Ah, that’s very nice! I can’t believe that you have some good rivalry out there in your home, girls!” said Misaki.
“I can’t wait to see how it’s going to work out in your next competition!” said Ayame Shionji.
“It will better to see each other to find out who the best player is!” said Aoi.
“Yeah! We’re very good players and one day, we will meet each other in the later round, depends on what the tournament will be like because most likely, we’re gonna face against each other until sooner or later” said Shinako.
“But still, we can play together outside while waiting for the draw of the citywide tournament to be made in a few weeks” said Moeko.
“Then, hopefully, you’ll all trained up for the tournament because it’s going to be a wild one” said Aoi.
“I agree with that!” said Shinako.
““Yeah, for sure!” said Moeko.
“That dream plan of yours was a good one, Kōji-san!” said Kaho.
“Yeah, it seems that you’re more into getting partnership with a group of students who were very motivated to start their dreams” said Chiyoko.
“I’m okay with that plan, but there’s seemed to be one issue out there” said Juri.
“Uh, okay, I see that point. Then, tell me about that issue” said Kōji.
“You see, your group’s geographical representation is different compared to the Bravehearts of Tama” said Juri.
“Which is why your group had not only represented Akasaka, Azabu and the northern part of Shiba, but you also include Odaiba as well as Aomi, Ariake, Toyosu and Shinonome, which were all located in Kōtō” said Rinze.
“So, how did you include them?” asked Natsuha.
“That’s a good question, Natsuha-san. You see, originally, the Bravehearts of Minato was supposed to represent the northern Minato, which is composed of Akasaka, Azabu and the northern part of Shiba, however, I didn’t know that Odaiba, which is an area located after the Rainbow Bridge, was near to our school” said Kōji.
“Our school is located in the eastern part of Shiba, but a mile away from the Rainbow Bridge, which means that we might want to include Odaiba into our representation for our braveheart group” said Reina.
“The other reason for this is because four of our original members, Shinako, Rumi, Ruriko and Yasue, plus Azusa have lived either in the areas near or within Odaiba” said Motoyuki.
“Hinako and Azusa lived in Toyosu while Shinako lived in Aomi and Ruriko and Yasuko lived in a few miles away from the Rainbow Bridge in a residential district” said Yūjirō.
“On the other hand, the rest of our members have lived in most of the northern parts of Minato while Moeko, Sayaka and Natsuko have lived in Shinonome, despite studying in Shushiba, which is located in the eastern part of Shiba” said Suzuka.
“Only Yūjirō and Yumi have lived in Akasaka, but nearly in the borders of Akasaka and Shiba” said Hinata.
And on the border between Shiba and Takanawa, me and Momo lived there” said Junsei.
“We’re all diverse when it comes to geographical locations that are coming from, but one thing that happened is that when we’re creating the extended group system, we decided to go with the lines on whoever going to get, but we also allow our allies to come directly even they’re not from their main area or not” said Kōji.
“When we started working on the extended group system, each group had their own geographical representation to go with, which it will be stretched from Akasaka to Odaiba. While working on that, Shinako and Rumi have an idea where they will be connecting with the allies of their cousins Ayumu and Shizuku, which results to our dream plan being made” said Reina.
“Ah, I see that point, guys” said Chiyoko.
“It sounds like you have your own representation based on their hometowns” said Juri.
“That’s very interesting” said Rinze.
“It makes so easy to create that for your structure and so, it will be awesome that the groups that they have been part of will have their own set of friends and allies” said Natsuha.
“I’m sure that your dream plan will work well because it will be so great that you’ll be able to make your group getting bigger” said Kaho.
“Of course, it is. That’s why our group will always have a dream plan, it will make it come true as soon as we’re all sticking together as a group. Right, guys?” said Kōji.
“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Minato.
“That’s great! Good luck with that! We’ll support your idea because it was so cool!” said Kaho.
“Yeah! Hopefully, it will work out to have a bigger community in your hometown!” said Chiyoko.
“Yeah, for sure!” said Kōji while the rest of the Bravehearts of Minato nodding their heads in agreement to agree with Kaho and Chiyoko.
“I’m very surprised that you had a dream plan that would be focused on partnering with Ayumu and Shizuku’s circle of friends” said Kasumi.
“Yeah, that one was not a bad plan, I guess, because that will strengthen the relationship between your group and our club” said Ai.
“I would imagine if our other relatives have the same thing and they should be coming from either Minato or Kōtō, that would be amazing to have a connection between us and them” said Karin.
“I believe that it’s going to be fantastic to have that since we didn’t know that there’s a friendship link between us and some braveheart groups, which is why there are some relatives wanted to team up with the other bravehearts, so that they want to build together as one” said Setsuna.
“That would be awesome to see that, which makes Kanata-chan think about my relatives teaming up with the Colorful Arrow, the group that my sister Haruka formerly joined. I can ask her if she can do that for sure” said Kanata.
“I never heard about the extended group system until Shinako and Hinako explained that earlier before conversation, but I think that it’s going to be more of a braveheart-school idol partnership because they can join forces together to develop their friendship for sure” said Emma.
“It’s going to be perfect that your dream plan will be good for us to do it, especially other groups are interested to partner with us as well!” said Rina Tennōji.
“If I remember correctly, our school had been connected with the other schools from the Minato Dream Consortium, which means that it’s going to be perfect to allow us to build partnerships with them since they are very great to show their pride and courage” said Yu.
“Also, one school had been applied to join that Consortium and that’s the Yuigaoka Girls’ High School” said Ayumu.
“Which is located in Aoyama in the borders of Minato and Shibuya” said Shizuku.
“Hmmm… I never heard about that school” said Rumi.
“Yeah, me either” said Yuiko.
“If I remember correctly, that school had been re-established after a group of businesspeople wanting to re-open that school for a cultural change” said Nanami.
“It says in the news that Yuigaoka had opened new enrollees that are coming from Minato and Shibuya, which is why they are looking forward to revitalize the culture in that school, based on how they have done in the past” said Hinako.
“Yeah, I agree, Hinako-san, but that’s not all” said Shinako.
“What do you mean about that?” asked Subaru.
“It says that there are five school idols have entered that school by the names of Kanon Shibuya, Keke Tang, Chisato Arashi, Sumire Heanna and Ren Hazuki” said Shinako.
“They called their school idol group known as Liella!” said Azusa. Liella! is a school idol group from
Love Live! Superstar!!
“You’re correct, Azusa-chan! You see, Liella! was just formed a few months ago with all members are just first year high school students from the Yuigaoka Girls’ High School” said Ayumu.
“They were not known as in they’re not popular at first, but they have found their inspiration when they performed their first song” said Shizuku.
“It became more inspirable that this group will once follow the footsteps of being a famous school idol group just like µ’s and Aqours” said Setsuna.
“That’s why we have been fascinated and impressed on their first performance as a school idol group” said Kasumi.
“When we watched their PR video one day, which was so cool to see them performing through their hearts” said Ai.
“I agree with that, Ai-san. It was magnificent to see those girls getting their time to shine just like Ayumu and her fellow club members did” said Yu.
“And they could become very popular one day if they will be able to work hard because they are school idols, of course!” said Emma.
“Liella! is like our Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, but literally, somehow of a different level because their school was just re-established a few months ago, being headed by their chairman, who was the mother of Ren” said Karin.
“And they’re trying to revive their culture to give the first year high school students get their fresh start to bring back what they have in the past” said Rina Tennōji.
“I’m sure that you’re familiar with that group, everyone, because Kanata-chan reminded them of µ’s and Aqours, who have been an amazing job to make their school bringing their culture getting better” said Kanata.
“Ah, I understand now” said Subaru.
“So, they are more on bringing back the culture that they have lost in the past?” asked Aoi.
“That’s right!” said Ayumu while the members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club have nodded their heads in agreement to agree with Aoi.
“That’s cool! I can’t wait to see that group!” said Rumi.
“We haven’t seen them before, but they could be more like they’re inspiring everybody!” said Yuiko.
“I’m so excited about this!” said Satsuki.
“Yeah, me too!” said Tae.
“We might gonna have a chance to meet that school idol group soon if we can have a chance to visit their school” said Yuzu.
“That way, we’ll be able to get to know with them!” said Ayami.
“Well, you girls are all excited for this because Liella! will be a new school idol group that will always rise for a bigger change” said Ayumu.
“Just like our school idol group” said Shizuku.
“One day, you’ll be shocked when you see them performing just for you” said Setsuna.
“It will be amazing that you can see them because they’re ready to rise together!” said Emma.
“Good for them! I guess that this is the beginning of their school idol life because they’re ready to shine just like you girls did!” said Aoi.
“Of course, we are!” said the members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.
“School idols have always got their own inspiration to make and it makes them feel motivated to shine themselves” said Ai.
“It will be amazing to make themselves popular because they’re very talented in different ways” said Karin.
“Also, there will be a lot of fans going to admire them because they will be here to inspire them” said Kasumi.
“Fans will end up getting inspired to follow them no matter what because they’ll be prospered enough to impress them with their eyes. Kanata-chan knows that fans will be blessed if they like or impress one’s performance, I believe” said Kanata.
“Yes, it, Kanata-san. Hopefully, they’ll continue to inspire them, so that they will be able to respect them because they will have their hope to see them perform like superstars for sure!” said Rina Tennōji.
“Yeah, we agree!” said the members of the Luminous Camellia.
“I hope that your plan will work out if you’ll be able to invite my friends into your group as part of the extended group system because it will strengthen our friendship for sure!” said Ayumu.
“Yes, I will, Ayumu-san! I will not let you down!” said Kōji.
“Yeah! We’ll make our dream plan blooming because we’re building together as one!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Minato, which makes the members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club giving them a smile.
Shizuku would ask Subaru if he had a dream plan. “It’s your turn, Subaru-san. Do you have a dream plan of yours?”
Subaru was seemed to be serious as he was about to answer Shizuku’s question. “Well, I supposed that I have one, but… I don’t have one yet.”
“Wait, what?! You don’t have one?!” shouted Kasumi.
“I mean… our Bravehearts of Ōta had been expanding with extended groups being created, but…” said Subaru before he was interrupted by Rumi.
“Don’t worry, Subaru-san. I have to tell this to my cousin” said Rumi.
“Sure, go on, Rumi-san. I knew I can count on you” said Subaru.
“You got it!” said Rumi as she steps up on Subaru’s behalf before speaking to Shizuku. “I want to join the Bravehearts of Ōta, Shizuku-san.”
“WHAT?!” shouted the members of the Bravehearts of Minato, Hōkago Climax Girls and the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.
“No way, Rumi-san!” said Hinako.
“Are you serious with that?!” exclaimed Azusa.
“You can’t say that right in front of us!” said Shinako.
“It’s okay, girls. I’m her cousin. I’ll respect for that” said Shizuku.
“Okay” said Shinako, Hinako and Azusa while nodding their heads in agreement.
“Interesting. I see what you’re planning, Rumi-san” said Setsuna.
“Are you sure about this?” asked Ayumu.
“Do you want to join that group?” asked Shizuku.
“Yes, Shizuku-san” said Rumi as she answered it in an expressive way. This makes Ayumu, Shizuku and Setsuna feeling sympathetic about Rumi’s decision to join the Bravehearts of Ōta after helping them in making a plan to convince Noboru to revive the Dragons of Ōta a few weeks ago.
