A Post-Chapter Postscript Message from Mei Hayasaka

Hi, everyone! This is Mei Hayasaka of Hoshimi Production and I would like to thank everyone for reading this wonderful update where me and my fellow groupmate Suzu Narumiya meeting with the members of the Bravehearts of Saiwai, a braveheart group based in Kawasaki, Kanagawa. These people are composed of Akina Yoneyama, Shiina Akada, Mayumi Yamanouchi and Shima Kamaguchi. They have been very compassionated to show their pride and willpower to represent their hometown in Saiwai. They visited our home in our dormitory as they wanted to pay a visit for a while, so that they’ll be here to hang out with us for a while. It was so great that me and Suzu have been gratified when they’re here to hang out with us, especially when Mayumi and Shima have teamed up with Suzu in cooking some delicious foods for our dinner with our fellow members of Hoshimi Production. They have been doing a great job in making sure that they will be able to make us feel good in making our foods more delicious. My fellow members of Hoshimi Production have reacted about the taste, saying it was very good and very saturating. I was impressed when I have to smell the scent of the foods that they have made and I’m so good that I was able to eat those for myself. Suzu had enjoyed eating those as well, which means that she was so blessed, thanks to both Mayumi and Shima. We even gave them some leftovers, so that they can eat and share those with their fellow friends from the Bravehearts of Saiwai. It was so nice that they have been able to give us the blessings that they have given us, which is a good sign of showing some pride and willpower to make sure that everyone will be thrilled to develop a sign of friendship with us. I’m very generous when I have seen them representing for that braveheart group and I can’t wait to meet them again if they wanted to get along with me and Suzu for another round. It feels great that those girls have always been determined to bless and inspire everyone and it will be amazing that they will be able to do their best in making themselves comfortable and delighted with their smiles. I hope that you enjoyed reading this update and it’s very awesome that this is the first time that me, Suzu and the rest of Hoshimi Production have been featured in an update of the Red Section Series, thanks to the author who had followed IDOLY PRIDE earlier this year. Hopefully, he will be planning to make another one that featured any of us if he will be thrilled to go for something more on pride and charisma. Until then, I’ll see you next time for a future update that will feature my group and make yourself proud with your smile, everyone!

A Special Message from Ai Miyashita

Hi, everyone! My name is Ai Miyashita of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and I’m here to explain about the connection circle of Kōji Hanagata, the leader of the Bravehearts of Minato. For those who didn’t know about the connection circle, the connection circle is composed of friend groups and allies that have been closed to any member of the Bravehearts of Minato and how they have developed their relationship with them. Ayumu had already shared about the connection circle of her cousins Shinako Takanashi and Azusa Uehara and now, it’s my turn to share because this one will be very interesting to see as it will be focused on Kōji and hopefully, you will love it! For the connection circle of Kōji, he had been associated to his friend group known as the Brave Suns Shiodome, composed of his friends from not only his class section 2-1, but in other sections such as 2-2 and 2-6. He, Reina Sakaguchi and Motoyuki Hori have led that group together like how they have used for the Bravehearts of Minato, but for their batchmates. One of their members in that group is my cousin named Kazuki Matsunami, who he had been very fascinated to contribute for the Brave Suns Shiodome where he was able to draw new ideas for their group to shine. Anyway, the Brave Suns Shiodome had been involved in numerous activities that involves helping the community to create their future for everyone and I was fascinated when Kōji had met numerous friends out there, so that they will become friends with him. Also, there are a lot of close friends of that group, especially those in Shiodome, as they have been able to develop their friendship by collaborating with each other to make their community more shining like the sun rises above Tokyo Bay. Speaking of that, they have been friends with one of the groups that fascinated themselves to shine like them in the Roar of the Sun Tiger, which is led by Toshiko Atsumi and Toshio Ōga. Their partnership had been beautiful because they have made collaborative activities including the Casual Friday activities that they have done the most. One time, they have visited the Ajinomoto Stadium to watch a live football game, which was very fun to watch. One thing that you also find it very coincidental is that they have participated in the Sunrise Fest last year where they have a lot of activities to get into with, especially when they want to have fun with their smiles and thrills being made. They have their good memories that they won’t forget them and so, it feels great they have been blissful and harmonious that they will remember those as treasures to make sure that they will not forget those for sure. Of course, Kōji and his friends have been very determined in making friends on their side, so that they will run with them like the way they did for the Bravehearts of Minato. After that, the next connection circle that will be shared is going to be for Momo Kashiwada, which will be all explained by Setsuna Yūki, and it will be posted on September 22 (Wednesday), which will be on the day after the fourth founding anniversary of our school idol club. So, get ready to see all of those in two weeks because it will be fantastic to know about this! Anyway, I’ll see you next time on a future update that will feature me and the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and keep thrilling with joys and smiles to shine, everyone!

Of course, I have followed numerous idol-genre anime releases, especially Ongaku Shoujo, THE IDOLM@STER and Love Live!

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES”
CHAPTER 72: “THE PARTNERS-IN-CRIME IN THE KATAYAMA FAMILY”​

Date: May 7, 2010 (Friday)

This side chapter is focused on Shinya Katayama and Yasuko Katayama as they were invited by their cousin Himeko Katayama to the great banquet for the development of the friendship between the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka at the hall in the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel, so that their cousins will have a great time to spend with her for the rest of the night.

At the hall in the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel, the members of Team Purple are waiting for Himeko as they are getting excited on who will be coming to the great banquet that celebrated the development of the friendship between the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka.

“The great banquet is seemed to be good from the start, but I’m hoping that there will be more guests to come” said Mizuko Fujisaki.

“Yes, indeed, Mizuko-san. Himeko said that a lot of people from our hometown and Fukuoka have been appeared to celebrate this event. It’s going to be amazing to see them showing their smiles with each other” said Ichiro Hosoya.

“And they’re hopefully making this event the night that will never forget!” said Sōichi Maeyama.

“Yes, it is!” said the members of Team Katayama.

“I’m going to say that this one is more excited as it gets!” said Yuka Suehiro.

“Everybody will be ready to make this event blooming like the other events of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week” said Chiyako Kayama.

“They made the community more inspiring to see this and that’s why it had been paid off big time” said Hana Mikimoto.

“Yes, of course! Hopefully, this will keep this up for tomorrow because it’s going to be the last day of the festivity and we have to make so much fun for one more time” said Ichiro.

“That way, we’re gonna finish everything to make this event successful!” said Sōichi.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the members of Team Katayama.

“It’s going to be more imaginable to see all of those and I can feel anything looked good since everyone had been so happy to impress the activities that our friends have organized to shine Ōta” said Mizuko.

“A lot of us will be ready to elevate to the next level, but of course, we should be ready to make many things to come” said Yuka.

“And hopefully, we’re all set to bless and inspire our community for sure” said Chiyako.

“You got it!” said Ichiro and Sōichi.

“So, who will be joining with us, guys?” asked Hana.

“It will be Himeko’s family members including her older sisters Mieko and Miyaka” said Toshiya Shimura.

“They will be joined by the Red Violet and Amethyst Nishi Kamata, the group that Himeko’s cousins Shinya and Yasuko joined” said Masafumi Mitamura.

“Of course, you will never forget that they are very close with Himeko’s family just like us” said Hisamitsu Tsuchida.

“Ah, I see! I can’t believe that Himeko’s family members will be here tonight!” said Hanako.

“Yeah, Hanako-chan! Himeko had been compassion to show her representation for her family and that’s why she’s going to let her siblings and cousins join for this event” said Asuka Yokoi.

“Hopefully, they’ll be ready to enjoy their night with us because we have our own recognition to represent for her” said Kana Hanaoka.

“Exactly, Kana-san. I say that it’s going to be a beautiful night to witness this and nobody will ever forget this event because we’re all recognized by anyone” said Ichiro.

“Especially, when we’re ready to shine ourselves for a better future” said Sōichi.

“Yeah!” said the members of Team Katayama.

“As a matter of fact, guys, there are going to make their plans for tomorrow to cap off this wonderful festivity” said Ichiro.

“Whoa!” surprisingly said the members of Team Katayama.

“They have?!” exclaimed Mizuko.

“Are they going to have one?!” queried Yuka.

“Yep!” said Ichiro and Sōichi.

“Himeko said that she wanted to organize one event that will take place tomorrow, which will be the seminar on juvenile police training” said Ichiro.

“But also, we will prepare everything for the big feast that will happen during the culminating event” said Sōichi.

“So, you think that they are ready to do this all by herself?” asked Mizuko.

“No, she will have some help from her family members and relatives, so that everything will be possible to happen” said Ichiro.

“Himeko’s parents are working at the prosecution office in Kamata, which is why she will be inviting some of the colleagues of her parents to be the speakers for this seminar tomorrow” said Sōichi.

“That’s why it will be great that they will discussing to everyone about how to get safe from any possible crime in our community” said Toshiya.

“If we don’t want to get in danger, we want to be safe and sound” said Masafumi.

“Hopefully, we’re going to make them entertain them to make the seminar more interested” said Hisamitsu.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the members of Team Katayama.

“I’m back, guys!” said Himeko as she finally arrives at the hall where she will be joined by her older sisters Mieko and Miyaka, and her cousins Shinya and Yasuko, who were with the members of the Red Violet and Amethyst Nishi Kamata.

“HImeko-san! I’m so glad that you came back!” said Mizuko.

“Yeah! I’m very happy that your siblings and relatives are finally here to be with us!” said Ichiro.

“It sounds like they’re all excited to attend this wonderful event” said Sōichi.

“They’re getting ready now, I tell you!” said Yuka.

“Yes, they were, Yuka-chan! My older sisters have wanted to join with me because they want to witness that event and then, we were surprised that Shinya and Yasuko will be coming along with us as well, which is why they’ll be here to spend the rest of the night right here” said Himeko.

“That’s right, sister! We want to get more enjoyed by attending this event because we want to see how both Bravehearts of Ōta and Bravehearts of Fukuoka doing in their fantastic event” said Mieko Katayama, a second year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and the sister of Himeko and Miyaka Katayama.

“When I asked Mariko Matagawa about what’s going on in the mansion, she said that a lot of people have attended that event where most of them are coming from our hometown, especially that the relatives of the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta are there” said Miyaka Katayama, a third year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and the older sister of Himeko and Mieko Katayama.

“And since Himeko is our cousin, we want to be part of that historic night, so that we want to have a great night to cap off our day” said Shinya Katayama, a second year middle school student from the Kaizuka Middle School and the cousin of Himeko Katayama. He is one-half of the co-leaders of the Red Violet and Amethyst Nishi Kamata and the younger brother of Yasuko.

“That way, we will celebrate this event for ourselves” said Yasuko Katayama, a third year middle school student from the Kaizuka Middle School and the cousin of Himeko Katayama. She is also one-half of the co-leaders of the Red Violet and Amethyst Nishi Kamata and the older sister of Shinya.

“Ah, that’s good! I’m so excited about this because this will be more of a blooming night for all of us” said Mizuko.

“Everyone has its own night to enjoy because they want to do anything to cap off their day in a good note” said Yuka.

“That’s why it’s going to be fantastic that they’re ready to get along with us for sure!” said Ichiro.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Himeko, Mieko, Miyaka, Shinya, Yasuko and the members of the Red Violet and Amethyst Nishi Kamata.

“Hopefully, you’ll make yourself comfortable with them because it’s going to be a fantastic night that you will never forget and as a member of the Bravehearts of Ōta, I will be happy to see you smile when you’ll make my friends feel comfortable” said Himeko.

“Yeah, we will, Himeko-san!” said the members of the Red Violet and Amethyst Nishi Kamata.

“Now, let’s get this celebration on the road!” said Himeko.

“Okay!” said Mieko, Miyaka, Shinya, Yasuko and the members of Team Katayama and the Red Violet and Amethyst Nishi Kamata as everyone including Himeko will be taking their foods and drinks at the food stall, so that they will eat their late dinner together.

After finish eating their late dinner together, they would finally do what they want in order to make their night more special for them. As they’re doing their own stuff while celebrating the great banquet, Himeko, Mieko, Miyaka, Mizuko, Ichiro, Shinya, Yasuko, Shizuko and Junpei are having a conversation about the future plans that they have for tomorrow and the following days.

Team Katayama: Himeko Katayama, Mizuko Fujisaki, Yuka Suehiro, Chiyako Kayama, Hana Mikimoto, Asuka Yokoi, Kana Hanaoka, Ichiro Hosoya, Sōichi Maeyama, Toshiya Shimura, Masafumi Mitamura and Hisamitsu Tsuchida

Red Violet and Amethyst Nishi Kamata: Shinya Katayama, Yasuko Katayama, Shizuko Kameda, Juri Egawa, Mariko Nakazato, Junpei Wakayama, Chihiro Kinoshita, Yuma Takeshita, Genta Sakurada, Ayane Okamura, Shigeko Kamiyama and Ryōsuke Asamura

“Explain about the seminar that you’re planning, guys, because I want to know more about them” said Mizuko.

“Well, you should be lucky to see this, so we will tell you about this right now” said Shinya as he’s about to explain about the seminar. You see, we are going to invite some students to a seminar about public safety and things that we have to get away from when there’s a crime that taken place because our hometown is currently complicated by some numerous incidents in Kōjiya, Magome and Kitasenzoku because of the activities by the rogue groups and delinquents that ravaged our community, especially the Dark Eclipse.”

“What’s the Dark Eclipse?” asked Ichiro.

“It is a young delinquent group that is composed of middle school students from the Kōjiya Middle School and they’re more aggressive, in my opinion, because of their nasty actions that put everyone’s life a living hell” said Mieko.

“We were so afraid of that group because not only they have a former member of the Dragons of Ōta in Matsuki Nagashi, but they also recruited some young guys that they want to be like them” said Miyaka.

“Yep! It’s more like a yakuza group, but they’re more delinquent, based on their appearance” said Shinya.

“Which is why we’re very feared that they’re trying to create chaos and disorder in our hometown, but even they have that darker side, they’re showing their pride to make sure that they want to be determined in proving who they are” said Yasuko.

“Oh, I see that point, guys. They’re very tough, in my opinion, but they are really scary when they confront with each other” said Mizuko.

“They can strike without forcing it” said Ichiro.

“Yeah, we agree” said Mieko, Miyaka, Shinya and Yasuko.

“Also, that Matsuki is considered different, compared to his fellow teammates, because what happened to him is that after the Dragons of Ōta was disbanded, he decided to make friends with his fellow groupmates that he had formerly joined the Dragons of Ōta until one day, a fight broke out” said Mieko.

“He was involved in a fight between his group of friends and some middle schoolers in an alley in Kitakōjiya last September during the school festival in the Kōjiya Elementary School. Unfortunately, he lost his patience on his former friends out there because he was blamed for what he had one when fought against the middle schoolers, who were trying to mock him that he had no talent in basketball” said Miyaka.

“As a result, he was suspended for 1 week after getting involved in that fight and he would have been expelled from the Kōjiya Elementary School boys’ basketball team. However, rather than joining that team for practice, he decided to play outside, so that he wants to get himself stronger” said Shinya.

“Yeah, cousin, it reminded me of Rena Ashihara, who ended up joining the Bravehearts of Ōta, despite having a rivalry with Maho, Masami and the Takenaka twins” said Himeko.

“Yes, it is, Himeko-san. That’s why in Kōjiya, there some good guys running their place with respect, but there are also bad guys who were trying to take everyone on notice with their own words” said Shinya.

“The police had been alerted on those nasty activities that happened, especially in schools like Kōjiya, which is why me, Shinya-san and Himeko-san have decided to organize some activities that involves safety and crime, so that we want them to be vigilant from those bad things that are about to wreak havoc in their places” said Yasuko.

“Well, I have to say that they’re pretty nasty in trying to make chaos and disorder in their places, which means that everyone is feeling unhappy and unsettled to see those” said Mizuko.

“I believe that everyone needs to put an end to this, so that there will be no fights and criminal activities involved in Ōta” said Ichiro.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Himeko, Mieko, Miyaka, Shinya, Yasuko, Shizuko and Junpei.

“That’s why it will be great to organize seminars on how to get safe from any criminal activities, so that they don’t want to be put on danger, which will make you nightmares” said Mieko.

“So, if we don’t want to be involved in those, then we have to tell everyone to stay safe from those things, otherwise they’ll be in big trouble” said Miyaka.

“Yeah, I agree!” said Mizuko.

“Of course, they should!” said Ichiro.

“I believe that in Ōta, some people are very generous and prospered to make their community motivate with some pride that they have, but generally, there are some people who wanted to have the destiny of their own such as taking over by crime or engaging ridiculous activities that can harm everyone. Of course, it will be difficult to stop this, but fortunately, the police will be coming out there to save their day” said Shizuko Kameda, a third year middle school student from the Kaizuka Middle School and a member of the Red Violet and Amethyst Nishi Kamata. She’s also the cousin of Katsuya Kameda and the younger sister of Fumika Kaneda.

“They have been working 24/7, so that they want to serve and protect the people from bad things that happened in our city. They have been able to take care of everything to make sure that they will make them put into justice” said Junpei Wakayama, a third year middle school student from the Kaizuka Middle School and a member of the Red Violet and Amethyst Nishi Kamata.

“That’s why it will be amazing to see the people working from the police doing their great job in stopping crime, but of course, they need a lot of people to protect from bad guys out there” said Shinya.

“And so, the police department in Ōta had decided to recruit some young people to join, so that they will train themselves and work hard in order to become certified police officer” said Yasuko.

“That’s interesting! I’m feeling good that this place had been protected by our own police” said Mizuko.

“Yes, it is” said Shinya and Yasuko.

“Are you guys aspiring to become police officers one day?” asked Ichiro.

“Yes, we were” said Shinya while Yasuko nodding her heads in agreement. “We’re very inspired to become police officers one day because we want to protect everyone from bad and terrible things that happened in our hometown, so that they will be very safe for sure.”

“And if we want to become police officers, then we have to try our best to keep away from any criminal activity that created chaos and disorder in our hometown. We’ll make sure that they won’t be a crime going to happen in Ōta, wouldn’t agree?” said Yasuko.

“Yeah!” said Himeko, Mieko, Miyaka, Mizuko, Ichiro, Shizuko and Junpei.

“So, when it will take place?” asked Mizuko.

“And what would be the venue for that seminar?” added Ichiro.

“It will be held at one of the function rooms at the main hotel of the Misawa Resort Hotel with 2 time slots from 11:00 to 12:30 and 1:00 to 2:30” said Shinya.

“Those two sets of seminars will be limited slots to get into this event, so if you don’t want to get late in this event, then we encourage you to come early to the event” said Yasuko.

“Hopefully, you’ll be able to make yourself motivated to listen to the speakers that you’ll be seeing, so that you will remember what they will said if you want to go get away from any criminal activity that run in our hometown” said Shizuko.

“The more that you listen, the better that you will get safe” said Junpei.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Mizuko and Ichiro.

“I say that we can invite some of our friends in our school, so that they want to learn about how to be safe from any criminal activity” said Mizuko.

“Good idea, Mizuko-san! I believe that this will help them being vigilant to make sure that they want to get in trouble” said Ichiro.

“Yes, you can, guys! I will be appreciated to let our friends invite into the seminar, so that they will be able to learn all things in the seminar for sure” said Himeko.

“Everyone is open to attend this seminar because this one is very important to all, so that you’ll be able to learn how to get safe from any criminal activity and fight that can happen in your place” said Mieko.

“Hopefully, you’ll be ready to get vigilant to make sure that you don’t want to be in big trouble, even you found something suspicious out there” said Miyaka.

“Yeah!” said Mizuko and Ichiro.

“I’m sure that it’s going to be amazing to make this seminar more prepared to make sure that they will be ready to seize the day and avert some chaotic and nasty activities that are about to happen as soon as possible” said Mizuko.

“Everyone must stand up, so that they don’t want to be hurt and that’s why we have to unite together to end crime for sure!” said Ichiro.

“Yeah, we will!” said Himeko, Mieko, Miyaka, Shinya, Yasuko, Shizuko and Junpei.

Later, the members of Team Katayama and the Red Violet and Amethyst Nishi Kamata as they would later to join the conversation because they find it interesting.

“Wow! That one was really good!” said Yuka.

“We can be part of that seminar no matter what because we want to get away from those meanies!” said Chiyako.

“It will be great that we should learn those things, so that we will all be safe” said Sōichi.

“Getting safe means that you’ll not be hurt at all as they want to get away from those” said Toshiya.

“I agree, guys! The seminar will be easy to attend, compared to the other seminars that taken place during the Fuchsia and Celadon Week, which is why it’s going to be awesome that we will all be here to make it blooming” said Himeko.

“Yes, it will!” said the members of Team Katayama and the Red Violet and Amethyst Nishi Kamata.

“I say that we should be ready to know all those things, so that we don’t want to be in trouble” said Yuka.

“Making sure that everything will be safe and sound” said Chiyako.

“A lot of people will have to be more vigilant if we want to get away from those things because it will be very harmonious to not getting involved in a situation like this” said Sōichi.

“That’s why we will have to stick together to make sure that we’re gonna do our best to make our hometown peaceful” said Toshiya.

“Yes, I agree to those, guys! As young citizens of Ōta, we have to be brave and bold to make sure that we will shine our community by showing some pride and willpower to everyone” said Himeko.

“We want to be very confident in making our community shining with our blessings and inspirations because this is what we do to represent for our fellow friends from the Bravehearts of Ōta” said Mieko.

“They’re fully blessed and inspired when they made friends, so that they will be gain respect from them, so that they will be able to make them happy and uplifted to be with them” said Miyaka.

“It’s going to be very big for all of us to do anything to shine for them and we should do the same thing as we want to be like them” said Mizuko.

“Everyone will be ready to make the difference to step up and stand for our community and that’s why let’s work together to make it harmonious and prosperous for sure!” said Ichiro.

“Yeah, we will!” said the members of Team Katayama.

“I’m so glad that you’re all prepared for tomorrow’s seminar, guys! That makes me feel thrilled to see those!” said Shinya.

“Yes, indeed, oniisan. It’s going to be amazing to see this because everyone will be ready to get themselves determined and vigilant to get away from crime, so that they will be humble to show their pride and willpower in our hometown. Don’t you agree?” said Yasuko.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the members of Team Katayama.

“Now, we should talk about what to do for the big feast tomorrow night when the culminating activity will take place at the central park and the beachfront” said Himeko.

“Yeah” said the members of Team Katayama and the Red Violet and Amethyst Nishi Kamata.

“For tomorrow, we’re all gonna be involved in the big feast where everyone will bring their own food as a thanksgiving for their efforts in making the Fuchsia and Celadon Week getting bloomer from the start” said Himeko.

“As a result, we need to come up of an idea on bringing some foods and drinks to serve for every one of us” said Shinya.

“That’s right, cousin! All we have to do right now is to find some foods and drinks that we need to bring for the big feast. We will divide those into different groups, so that we can prepare those for that event. So, let’s start with the rice dishes. Any ideas?” said Himeko.

“I think that katsudon would be nice” said Mizuko.

“Not bad, but I want oyakodon” said Sōichi.

“Both dishes were nice, but my family had used to cook some tendon for generations” said Shizuko.

“Hey, that one would be a good idea too!” said Juri Egawa, a third year middle school student from the Kaizuka Middle School and a member of the Red Violet and Amethyst Nishi Kamata.

“I like your ideas, guys, but I believe that we have to vote on which will be good for the ride dish” said Himeko.

“Yeah, we have to pick one of those three dishes, so that we will serve for tomorrow” said Yasuko.

“So, let’s get this voting going!” said Shinya.

“Yeah!” said the members of Team Katayama and the Red Violet and Amethyst Nishi Kamata.

“Now, who goes for katsudon?” asked Shinya. Only four have been in favor of katsudon.

“That’s four, Shinya-san” said Yasuko.

“Well, not good enough to make the majority, in my opinion” said Himeko.

“Yes, I believe, but let’s see who is in favor of oyakodon. Raise your hands” said Shinya. Two members of Team Katayama and five members of the Red Violet and Amethyst Nishi Kamata are raising their hands in favor of oyakodon.

“That’s greater than the first one” said Yasuko.

“Looks like tendon will most likely gonna be the winner for this one” said Himeko.

“I guess so, but let’s see if anyone is voting for that one” said Shinya before interrupted by the raise of hands of some members of Team Katayama and the Red Violet and Amethyst Nishi Kamata. “I can’t believe it! Well, then, tendon, it is!”

“Alright!” said the members of Team Katayama and the Red Violet and Amethyst Nishi Kamata.

“So, tendon will be the first dish to be served for the big feast, which will be made by Shizuko, but I hope that we can get some extras to make the rice dishes more delicious” said Shinya.

“I have an idea, guys!” said Yuka.

“What is it, Yuka-chan?” asked Himeko.

“Me and Hana-san will make some rice balls, so that it will be great those since it’s our snack time during our school days” said Yuka.

“Yep! It feels good to eat those because it made us feel good!” said Hana.

“That’s a good idea, girls! I like onigiri too because it makes me feel good to eat those for myself!” said Himeko.

“Yeah! I’m falling in love with that food as well! I like to eat those because it’s delicious!” said Mizuko.

“Oh, wow! I didn’t know that you like that food!” said Shinya.

“Rice balls are very good for everyone to eat as a snack” said Yasuko.

“We all loved those too!” said Shizuko and Junpei.

“Well, I’m surprised that you like onigiri too, guys!” said Yuka.

“Yeah, I believe so. Then, let’s add that as well!” said Himeko.

“Okay!” said the members of Team Katayama and the Red Violet and Amethyst Nishi Kamata.

“That’s a nice selection, you two! I also have an idea for that as well!” said Mariko Nakazato, a second year middle school student from the Kaizuka Middle School and a member of the Red Violet and Amethyst Nishi Kamata.

“What is it?” asked Yuka.

“Tell us!” said Hana.

“My family had used to make some yakiudon to townspeople, which everyone felt satisfied with it. I used to eat those every other week when there are a lot of guests coming out in my home” said Mariko.

“That’s right, Mariko-san! We fall in love in that one because it makes me feel good to eat those!” said Chihiro Kinoshita, a third year middle school student from the Kaizuka Middle School and a member of the Red Violet and Amethyst Nishi Kamata.

“I’m very interested in that food because that one is so delicious that made my mouth craving. I’m so happy that I can eat those at any time that I want, especially when we have some those for lunch” said Yuma Takeshita, a second year middle school student from the Kaizuka Middle School and a member of the Red Violet and Amethyst Nishi Kamata. He is also the older brother of Enju Takeshita.

“Interesting. I can’t believe that you are interested on that food because it tasted good!” said Yuka.

“We were surprised that you have some other interested foods like that, which everyone has its own favorites to choose with” said Hana.

“Yeah, exactly!” said Mariko while Chihiro and Yuma nod their heads in agreement.

“I’m okay with your idea too, Mariko-san!” said Yasuko.

“Yeah, we will add that to our list as well!” said Shinya.

“Okay!” said Mariko, Chihiro and Yuma.

“Now that the first batch is done, let’s move on to the next group: the main dish section” said Himeko.

“This one is going to very important because we will allow anyone to bring any of those through any desire that they want, so it will be more of a sharing platter” said Shinya.

“So, hopefully, you will pick wisely on who will be bringing those for tomorrow’s big feast. Okay?” said Yasuko.

“Okay!” said the members of Team Katayama and the Red Violet and Amethyst Nishi Kamata.

“Let’s start with agemono or deep-fried dishes” said Yasuko.

“This will be very easy to cook and it can serve up to 12 persons” said Shinya.

“There are five dishes that it’s going to be available to cook and they are Ebi tempura, tonkatsu, korokke, kushikatsu and karaage. So, who will be bringing those?” said Himeko.

“I’ll take Ebi tempura!” said Chiyako.

“Mine will be tonkatsu!” said Ichiro.

“Korokke will be mine!” said Sōichi.

“I would love to let my older siblings cook some kushikatsu for tomorrow!” said Asuka.

“Karaage is fine with me. My mother will make those” said Kana.

“That’s good, guys! I’m sure that you’re gonna have them cooked and served for tomorrow, so that we will eat those for sure!” said Himeko.

“Yeah!” said Chiyako, Asuka, Kana, Ichiro and Sōichi.

“Next up, it’s going to be the grilled and pan-fried dishes, also known as yakimono. Our guys have made up their plans on that one earlier as they already confirmed on what they will bring for tomorrow” said Shinya.

“That’s right, Shinya-san! My cousins and I will be cooking some takoyaki tomorrow morning, so that it will be good to go for tomorrow’s big feast” said Juri.

“Me and Ayane-san will be cooking some yakitori because we’re very good in making those” said Genta Sakurada, a second year middle school student from the Kaizuka Middle School and a member of the Red Violet and Amethyst Nishi Kamata. He’s also the cousin of Kōsuke Sakurada and Mayu Sakurada.

“So that it will be good enough to serve those in a jiffy!” said Ayane Okamura, a third year middle school student from the Kaizuka Middle School and a member of the Red Violet and Amethyst Nishi Kamata.

“I’m going to take unagi because my father had used to cook those for sizzling needs” said Shigeko Kamiyama, a second year middle school student from the Kaizuka Middle School and a member of the Red Violet and Amethyst Nishi Kamata.

“I’ll be cooking some kushiyaki for the big feast tomorrow!” said Ryōsuke Asamura, a third year middle school student from the Kaizuka Middle School and a member of the Red Violet and Amethyst Nishi Kamata.

“For the two of us, we will be making some gyoza where my parents have used to cook those for our family business” said Shinya.

“We have sold those for The Alley, a street food-based restaurant in Nishikamata” said Yasuko.

“That’s very nice, guys! I’m so surprised that you have some selections to cook with, so that they will be ready to get served for the big feast tomorrow” said Himeko.

“It will be very nice to prepare for those, so that we’re ready to make this feast more special!” said Yuka.

“And hopefully, we will be able to eat together with happiest smiles for sure!” said Ichiro.

“Yeah!” said Shinya. Yasuko and the members of the Red Violet and Amethyst Nishi Kamata.

“We’re very confident to prepare for tomorrow’s big feast and we’re more motivated if we can bring those altogether, so that we will be all thankful for those” said Shinya.

“Since we’re more in common with each other, we should be ready to make the Era of Fuchsia and Celadon starting to shine for our hometown as soon as we will thank each other for the blessings that we have” said Yasuko.

“Hopefully, it will be imaginable for us to cap off this festival tomorrow as we’re ready to face new challenges that we’re going to take with” said Shizuko.

“As we’re going to run together to bless and inspire everyone in Ōta!” said Junpei.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Himeko and the members of Team Katayama.

“That’s why let’s make this happen for tomorrow, so that we will be more harmonious to show our smiles with each other!” said Himeko.

“Yeah!” said Shinya, Yasuko and the members of the Red Violet and Amethyst Nishi Kamata.

“Oh, one thing to say about this, cousin, is that are you going to be with your fellow friends from the Bravehearts of Ōta tomorrow?” asked Shinya.

“Well, I can be with them if I want to because Tomoka and Mimi have entrusted me to join with them and the rest of that group, so that I want to be involved in making everyone bless and inspire with my own representation. I mean, as a member of the Bravehearts of Ōta, I’ll be ready to do whatever it takes to make that group blooming with our friendship continues to develop for more” said Himeko.

“That’s good! I say that you have your confidence with them ever since you had joined that group” said Shinya.

“Which makes us feel happy that you’re going to represent for them as you’re one of them now” said Yasuko.

Himeko smiles to Shinya and Yasuko as she shows her compassion to represent for the Bravehearts of Ōta. “Yes, of course, Yasuko-chan. At first, I was associating with them when Mimi had invited me and my fellow teammates in a training, which I was able to get a chance to shine for my varsity and then, this result becomes us joining the Bravehearts of Ōta by making Team Katayama being one of the mainstream groups of that said braveheart group. Right now, I’m very confident that I have developed a great friendship with them as I was able to entrust them to bless and shine themselves, especially when they have given me some activities to contribute for that group. I also have some plans in making an extended group for each one of us, but it may be too early to tell because we’re very young to create that. However, one day, I will be ready to create in the future, so that I will be ready to shine for more.”

“Well, you had a word of opportunity to make sure that you’re gonna do anything for us” said Shinya.

“I’m so surprised that you’re looking confident about your future because you’re very determined to make the difference in showing some pride and willpower to make everyone feel happy” said Yasuko.

“Your future is getting brighter, Himeko-san. I’m feeling it!” said Shizuko.

“It will be very awesome that you’re gonna represent for them just to make sure that you’ll be able to work with them to develop your friendship with them for sure” said Junsei.

“Of course! I will be ready to make the Bravehearts of Ōta ready to bloom and shine for a better future. Right, everyone?” said Himeko.

“Yeah, Himeko-san!” said the members of Team Katayama.

“That’s good! You’re contemplating your future now. I’m really sure that you’re ready to make it happen once you’re ready to step up for them” said Shinya.

“Everyone is here to trust you with your heart, Himeko-san. Just promise us that you’re going to make us proud!” said Yasuko.

“Yes, I will!” said Himeko before looking at the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta having a great time to chat with each other. “I’m so generous to be part of that group ever since I made them as friends, which I’m feeling great that I will be with them for sure!”

“You’re right about that, Himeko-san! I’m so motivated that you’re ready to shine for us!” said Mizuko.

“Yep! We’re all here to be with you all along, so that you’ll be like them!” said Yuka.

“They’re very compassionate to show their pride, courage and willpower, so that they will be humbler to represent Ōta” said Chiyako.

“You have been doing great to be with them since you started to grow your friendship with them, so that they will be more confident to be with you” said Hana.

“I hope that you’re gonna keep this up because we, as teammates, always trust you” said Asuka.

“You got your heart, Himeko-san! Just make all of us proud for the Bravehearts of Ōta!” said Kana.

“Sure, I would be glad to! Of course, we should shine together because we’re all bravehearts, right?” said Himeko.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Mizuko, Yuka, Chiyako, Hana, Asuka and Kana.

“I’m sure that you’re all set for this!” said Sōichi.

“You’re ready to bless and inspire for all of us to make them proud!” said Ichiro.

“You can count on me, Ichiro-san, because I’ll be here to represent for my pride, courage and willpower!”

This side chapter is focused on Yūshi Murayama and Aika Tagami as they are entering the hall in the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel to meet with their cousins Shimako and Shizuka at the great banquet that celebrated development of the friendship between the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka.

As the great banquet that celebrated the development of the friendship between the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka had been continued with a lot of guests being appeared throughout the event, everything is bloom to see everyone showing their pride, courage and willpower to make the celebration more special.

At the hallway in the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel, Yūshi Murayama and Aika Tagami are walking on their way to the hall as they are about to attend the great banquet. Joining with them were Haruka Nishimura, Tsunejirō Aragaki and Yoshisuke Matsubayashi of the Murayama Red Tigers and Kiyoko Mitsuhashi, Yuichi Fukuda and Haruko Tsukamoto of the Serpent Dragons of Magome.

“It feels good that we’re about to witness that event, Yūshi-san! I can’t wait to see how people have enjoyed celebrating their friendship that had never done before!” said Haruka Nishimura.

“It’s going to be awesome that everyone will be putting their smiles into each other as they are looking forward to a great friendship with a braveheart group that first existed around the country” said Tsunejirō Aragaki.

“Yep! Shimako-san told me that the Bravehearts of Ōta had a very close relationship with the Bravehearts of Fukuoka, the first braveheart group that was formed two years ago” said Yūshi Murayama.

“Led by a phenomenal prospect named Kazuhiro Hatakenaka, who is currently gained attention to become the best player in his class ever since he led his team, the Kashii Gakuen High School boys’ basketball team led to its first semifinals in the Winter Cup last year” said Aika Tagami, a second year middle school student from the Kasuragi Middle School and the leader of the Serpent Dragons of Magome.

“He had formed his friends that made them blessed and inspired during the campaign of his final year in middle school, which the led to its third straight championship in the Middle School National Basketball Tournament” said Yūshi.

“Right now, he’s aiming to continue leading his braveheart group by welcoming new members and make new partnerships, so that we will make his hometown a full of hopes and dreams to create with” said Aika.

“I agree, guys! I believe their relationship had been getting better ever since they have met with each other recently” said Kiyoko Mitsuhashi, a second year middle school student from the Kasuragi Middle School and a member of the Serpent Dragons of Magome.

“They were very common with each other and both groups have their own allies to create with” said Yuichi Fukuda, a second year middle school student from the Kasuragi Middle School and a member of the Serpent Dragons of Magome. He is also the cousin of Anju Fukuda.

“They can do anything to make them feel blissful and harmonious with their smiles for sure!” said Haruko Tsukamoto, a second year middle school student from the Kasuragi Middle School and a member of the Serpent Dragons of Magome.

“Yes, indeed. Both Subaru and Kazuhiro have known with each other since middle school, but they have never faced against each other in the court” said Yūshi.

“Fortunately, they have been able to make their friends on their sides to show their pride, courage and willpower to make sure that they’re ready to shine for themselves” said Aika.

“Ah, okay. We get it now” said Haruka, Tsunejirō, Yoshisuke, Kiyoko, Yuichi and Haruko.

“But what about the other braveheart group? Can they create their own friendship as well?” asked Yoshisuke Matsubayashi.

“We’re not sure about that, Yoshisuke-san, because I only know about the two” said Yūshi.

“But lucky for you, Shimako and her sister Shizuka have known all about this” said Aika.

“Really? Are they smart enough to remember those?” asked Yoshisuke.

“Especially in his past?” asked Tsunejirō.

“Of course, they have” said Yūshi and Aika while smiling on their faces as they alongside their friends have finally entered the hall.

“You’ll see a lot of those when we’re gonna meet them” said Yūshi.

“That way, you will finally know by the end of the conversation” said Aika.

“Ah, okay!” said Tsunejirō and Yoshisuke.

In one table, Shimako and Shizuka would be joined by Ruri Shimizu, Saki Miyazaki, Michiko Hiyama, Naoya Hirao, Nanami Mizuno and Shigeru Kaizu as they have talked with each other in a conversation before Shimako sees her cousins and their friends entering the great banquet.

“Ah, there you are, cousins!” said Shimako.

“Looks like you’re finally here!” said Shizuka.

“Yeah!” said Yūshi and Aika.

“We decided to stay at the central park after eating dinner at the Golden Sun Restaurant before we finally found out that a lot of young people going to the mansion for a celebration like this” said Yūshi.

“We’re very surprised to see this and that’s why we want to be part of that celebration too!” said Aika.

“Well, you were very confident that you want to be with us because it’ll be fantastic to celebrate this night that will never forget!” said Shimako.

“Hopefully, you’ll make yourself comfortable for tonight as this will be the night that will remember” said Shizuka.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Yūshi, Aika and their friends.

“Come with us!” said Shimako.

“We have talked a lot of things about something fantastic to see!” said Shizuka.

“Okay!” said Yūshi, Aika and their friends as they finally take their seats to be with Shimako, Shizuka and the members of the Goyaume.

“So, we want to know about the friendship between Subaru and Kazuhiro” said Tsunejirō.

“As well as how they have been friends with the other leaders from various braveheart groups” said Yoshisuke.

“Well, you came the right person to know about this because we’re all here to explain everything related to this special relationship” said Shimako.

“That’s right, sister! I think that you guys are ready for this because you’re here for a good ride!” said Shizuko.

“Yeah!” said Yūshi, Aika and their friends.

The conversation will about to begin as Shimako will explain about the history between Subaru and Kazuhiro. “It all started when Subaru’s father Ginga Hasegawa started to stay in Fukuoka for his research in archaeology. Aside from being a trainer and scout, he begins to make new friends out there, especially in the north where Kitakyushu was included. He also instituted various trainings in different cities in the north of Kyushu, so that he wants to develop new prospects to the next level. This also includes Kazuhiro Hatakenaka.”

“Kazuhiro Hatakenaka had attended that training when he entered middle school during that summer. He was able to shine his way with his moves, so that he can ball. He was actually doing great to prove that he’s the better prospect to step in the future. According to his father Kentarō, Kazuhiro had been destined to be the best player in Japan because he can do anything to shine to represent his team” said Shizuka.

“Everyone knows that Kazuhiro was famously known as the Blue Phenomenal or the Blue Ace because of his dazzling and outstanding moves. He is compared to LeBron James and Rui Hachimura due to his skilled athleticism and has the ability to lead his team to victory” said Ruri Shimizu.

“That’s why everyone in Fukuoka had recognized him to become a future prospect when he’s about to enter to the next level” said Saki Miyazaki.

“That guy had been showing his time to shine since he had always run his place” said Yūshi.

“He is a one-of-a-kind athlete to make this team dominate in a real game” said Aika.

“Yes, he is” said Shimako, Shizuka, Ruri and Saki.

“So, how Subaru had first met Kazuhiro?” asked Tsunejirō.

“That’s during his second year in middle school when Subaru was on vacation” said Shimako.

“Where he had a special training with his father after a disappointing exit in the middle school prefectural tournament” said Shizuka.

“Subaru and Kazuhiro would finally meet each other in Higashi, Fukuoka where the two greats have been together for the first time” said Ruri.

“After playing pick-up basketball, they finally become friends with each other at the very beginning” said Saki.

“Wow! I can’t believe that they have finally seen each other in Fukuoka!” said Tsunejirō.

“But I thought that they were in the Middle School Prefectural Basketball Tournament” said Yoshisuke.

“Well, Subaru said that he and Kazuhiro have met with each other a few times when he was on vacation in Fukuoka until Kazuhiro had represented his team to that tournament two years ago where they have gotten along with each other for two weeks” said Haruka.

“That’s right, Haruka-san! Kazuhiro and his teammates in the Kashii Gakuen Middle School boys’ basketball team have stayed in Tokyo for the Middle School Prefectural Basketball Tournament for about three weeks including some training days” said Ruri.

“Everyone recognized him as the best player in Fukuoka, but he hasn’t done anything big when it comes to around the country at that time until he finally fulfills his dream in winning the Middle School Prefectural Basketball Tournament where they have edged out one of the best teams in Saitama in the tournament final” said Saki.

“That leads to everyone starting to believe him to be one of the best players in Japan due to his skilled moves and unprecedented players that shines him so big” said Michiko Hiyama

“You’ll never forget his name because he finally got his recognition, even he did very well in his first year in high school” Naoya Hirao.

“I say that he’s very determined to make himself worthy to be the greatest” said Tsunejirō.

“And he’s gonna do anything to earn himself to be the best player in Japan” said Yoshisuke.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Shimako, Shizuoka and the members of Goyaume.

“When Subaru met Kazuhiro during the Middle School Prefectural Basketball Tournament two years, he believes that Kazuhiro can do anything to shine because he had done a lot of moments that he had since he became stronger as he was. After the tournament, Kazuhiro finally started to help Subaru in making him stronger to make sure that he’s gonna shine his way like the way he used to” said Shimako.

“To be honest, cousin, Subaru was supposed to be shining in the first place if Kirihara didn’t lose to Shizuno in the prefectural tournament” said Yūshi.

“That would have continued his own path to greatness” said Aika.

“Yeah, I agree, guys, but you can’t complain on him because he’s so sensational to show his moves” said Shimako.

“That’s why he was called the ‘Braveheart Sensation’ because he can sense anything that is dazzling with his own mind and hustle” said Shizuka.

“Of course, Shizuka-sama! A lot of talented guys in Ōta have never done something big until Subaru stepped up as a big name in the list because not only that he’s the leader of the Bravehearts of Ōta, but he’s also being the captain of the Nashiba High School boys’ basketball team” said Haruka.

“It made Subaru being one of the up-and-down prospects that also made it to the big names recently, even he was rivalled by Ryuuichi Suga” said Kiyoko.

“Yeah!” said Shimako and Shizuka.

“So, what kind of relationship between Subaru and Kazuhiro after they have known with each other?” asked Yuichi.

“There’s a special link of friendship known as the braveheart connection, which means that any member of a braveheart group have been connected to another one from another braveheart group for a long time before the formation of different braveheart groups around the country. When Subaru and Kazuhiro have started their own special friendship, they used to meet with each other many times before forming their own braveheart groups, which you’re all seeing right now” said Nanami Mizuno.

“They have been very confident to show their pride, courage and willpower to make sure that they’re ready to shine and prosper our community through their smiles” said Shigeru Kaizu.

“Oh, we get it now, guys” said Haruka, Tsunejirō, Yoshisuke, Kiyoko, Yuichi and Haruko.

“I say that they have been very determined to make their community shine because they know what to represent” said Tsunejirō.

“And they know what to show, so that they will bless and inspire everyone with respect” said Yoshisuke.

“It’s going to be amazing that everyone had a hard work to make themselves motivate because this is what everyone does to believe” said Yuichi.

“And our community is ready to do whatever it takes bring a brighter future to everyone” said Haruko.

“If everyone is ready to shine…” said Haruka.

“…then, they will make everyone blessed and inspired for sure!” said Kiyoko.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Shimako, Shizuka and the members of the Goyaume.

“Not only Subaru and Kazuhiro have made their braveheart groups prosper to make their community’s future getting brighter, but they also found allies from their neighboring areas” said Shimako.

“Such as Masanori Yasukawa of the Bravehearts of Hakata, Tōru Matsushima of the Bravehearts of Minami Fukuoka, Takahiro Nishizawa of the Bravehearts of Sawara and Akihisa Miyazawa of the Bravehearts of Nishi Fukuoka, who have been very close to the Bravehearts of Fukuoka since Kazuhiro have been friends with them for a long time” said Shizuka.

“While Subaru became friends with Tsuyoshi Arakawa of the Bravehearts of Setagaya, Akihiro Akasaki of the Bravehearts of Shinagawa, Yukihiro Nakayama of the Bravehearts of Takanawa, Kōji Hanagata of the Bravehearts of Minato and Kenji Hachisuka of the Bravehearts of Suginami” said Ruri.

“As leaders, they have used to get along with each other if they want to develop their friendship together like the way it used to be” said Saki.

“Which is why they want to get closer with each other, so that they will be able to develop partnerships with their groups as they will ready to work together as groups of bravehearts” said Michiko.

“Yeah, I agree with that, guys. I believe that they have their way to make friends with each other just like how different braveheart groups did in the same way” said Yūshi.

“They have prospered their way to gain some respect from each other and that’s why they will do whatever it takes to make everyone feel uplifted and delighted as they have always trusted with each other through their hearts” said Aika.

“Of course, they were, cousins. It’s going to be amazing that they will work together one day if they want to make the difference to show how it’s done for everyone” said Shimako.

“The more that they worked together, the better that they will bloom their friendship once more” said Shizuka.

“Yeah!” said Yūshi.

“You’re right about that!” said Aika.

“Have you ever heard about the Bravehearts of Kōtō?” asked Shimako.

“I don’t know about that group, to be honest” said Yūshi.

“Who are they?” queried Aika.

“They are a group of young students led by Shunichi Ōikawa and its vice leaders Ruka Nagamine, Seiichirō Murakawa and Kotoko Hachiuma” said Shimako.

“They were very close to the Bravehearts of Minato because they also have friends associated to Kōji and Shinako” said Shizuka.

“Such as Miyako Hirohashi, the President of the Hanzōsen High School Student Council, and Kazunari Yoshizawa, a member of the Mathematics Society” said Ruri.

“Not just something special but because they’re near with each other” said Saki.

“Well, that group is friendlier just like other braveheart groups that had been existed in Tokyo” said Yūshi.

“They’re very compassionate to show their pride, courage and willpower, so that they will be able to bless and inspire their friends and allies in their own hometown” said Aika.

“Yes, they were!” said Shimako and Shizuka while the members of the Goyaume nod their hands in agreement to agree with Yūshi and Aika.

“And there’s an analogue that any leaders have been friends with each other if their homes are near to each other such as Kazuhiro had been friends with Hidemitsu Oniki for a long time, Subaru had been friends with Tsuyoshi Arakawa and Kōji had been friends with Shunichi” said Ruri.

“Which results to their friendship getting developed for more, which will also allow their braveheart groups to get close with each other” said Saki.

“I say that they have been in common with each other since they have some history of their friendship back in their days in the elementary school, but of course, they will never forget those since they have been very close right now” said Yūshi.

“It’s going to be fantastic that these kinds of friendships would bring new hopes and dreams to their braveheart groups as they will make partnerships between them for sure!” said Aika.

“Yeah, of course!” said Ruri and Saki.

“So, why Subaru had been friends with Tsuyoshi?” asked Haruka.

“How they have been doing right now?” asked Kiyoko.

“Both Subaru and Tsuyoshi are cousins from the former’s maternal family although with different surnames” said Michiko.

“They have been getting along with each other occasionally because they were very close with each other, but sometimes, they have met with each other during some activities such as training camps, local circuits and many more” said Naoya.

“Everyone in Ōta and Setagaya are surprised about this when they met with each other first time in a local circuit during their middle school years and it seems that both guys can change the game of basketball with their dazzling moves to shine” said Nanami.

“That’s their time when Subaru was about to begin his stardom after successfully winning the district tournament for two straight years” said Shigeru.

“Ah, that’s more bizarre, I tell you!” said Haruka.

“Looks like they have been working together to run their place like the way it should be” said Kiyoko.

“Yes, they were. As a matter of fact, both Subaru and Tsuyoshi have been joined by some basketball players that have the same potential as them” said Ruri.

“Really?!” shouted Yūshi, Aika and their friends.

“Yep! They have formed a team known as Bloom Sensation Squad, a team composed of young players from Ōta and Setagaya” said Ruri.

“They have competed at the Komazawa Futures Cup five years ago, which they have won that tournament” said Saki.

“Oh, I see that now!” said Haruka.

“That’s the biggest secret that we haven’t seen those before!” said Kiyoko.

“Thankfully, no one had revealed that just yet!” said Tsunejirō.

“Only the closest friends of Subaru can know about this” said Yuichi.

“Yes, that’s true, Yuichi-san” said Shizuka as she gives Yuichi a smile on her face before explaining about her long history of being friends with Subaru. “I have been following Subaru ever since the two of us were part of the Dragons of Ōta. I had watched his plays when he was in the court, which had been an amazing job in taking his opponents on notice. That’s why he’s very sensational to shine with his own game. When he had attended a circle where the leaders of the braveheart groups in Tokyo were all present, he invited me and the other members to meet and greet with them, so that we’ll recognize them at the same time. Subaru was such a lucky guy who always want to make everyone believe because he had been humbled enough to show his heart and soul not only to his teammates in the past, but to everyone who had been able to respect him. I feel grateful that Subaru is still doing this, especially he had been connected to those from different braveheart groups such as Kazuhiro and the other guys from Fukuoka.”

“Ah, okay. We get it now” said Yūshi, Aika and their friends.

“I’m so surprised that you have been friends with him, cousin” said Yūshi.

“You’re very compassionate to keep your respect for him ever since you and him have been part of the Dragons of Ōta. I never joined that group for myself, but I’m relieved that you’re still friends with him” said Aika.

“It made me feel good that you and Subaru have known with each other for a long time” said Haruka.

“I will be more delighted to see you and Subaru working together because it will be great to make him happy of being the leader of the Bravehearts of Ōta as you always trust him with your heart” said Kiyoko.

“Yes, I agree with that, guys! I’m very compassionate when I get along with Subaru because I was always there to see his moments when he’s about to shine his basketball career. You never sleep on him because he’s more sensational to show his pride, courage and willpower for all of us” said Shizuka.

“Yeah!” said Yūshi, Aika and their friends.

“I’m sure that it will help you to join the Bravehearts of Ōta if you want to be more with him” said Tsunejirō.

“That way, you’ll be able to have your chance to work him with as long as your friendship will continue to develop once more” said Yuichi.

“Well, to be honest, I’m a longtime member of the Dragons of Ōta because not only I was close to Subaru, but to Noboru. However, I’m not sure if I’m going to leave that group, so that I will be joining Subaru’s group. It’s like betraying your former group, so that you will be joining a new group that has been led by your fellow member. I mean, I like my sister joining the Bravehearts of Ōta because she’s part of the New Camellian Dragons, which I was thinking the same thing of joining that group. I will be confident if I will join that group even the Dragons of Ōta will possibly be coming back soon. So, I will make my decision on this if Noboru is planning to bring back the Dragons of Ōta one day” said Shizuka.

“I think that you will have your chance that group, Shizuka-san” said Tsunejirō.

“If Shimako is there, then you should be with her” said Yuichi.

“It depends on what side will you be joining with” said Yoshisuke.

“Hopefully, you will be more confident to bless and inspire our community for sure” said Haruko.

“I’m not opposed to you, guys, but like I said, I will plan something big very soon” said Shizuka.

“That’s my older sister! She’s very determined to show her compassion to anyone. She will do anything to make everyone comfortable with her smile” said Shimako.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Yūshi, Aika and their friends.

“So, do you think that Kazuhiro and Subaru will plan to meet with the other leaders from different braveheart groups?” asked Yūshi.

“Of course, they can if there are no longer focused on their basketball stuff during the summer” said Shimako.

“However, it depends on their possible participation at the Interhigh Nationals, which will take place by summer” said Shizuka.

“Well, they need to lead their schools first to a prefectural championship, so that they will make it to the Interhigh Nationals. It will be a tough road for them if they want to win the prefectural qualifiers” said Yūshi.

“That way, it will be amazing for them that they will make it together to that tournament, so that they will have a chance to fight against each other” said Aika.

“I hope so” said Shimako and Shizuka.

“They haven’t faced against each other before as they have their own path to success since then” said Shimako.

“However, a lot of people believe that with Kazuhiro’s popularity, he might have his chance to make his team lead into a possible championship this year. I’m going to say that he will be ready to gear up with his skills, so that he’s ready to shine” said Shizuka.

“But what about Subaru?” asked Yūshi.

“He has the same potential as Kazuhiro” said Aika.

“Yeah, Aika-san, but he can also of his own if he will make Nashiba a stronger team” said Shimako.

“He can take the entire capital on notice with his team on fire” said Ruri.

“He will never give up until he will be leading Nashiba to a championship for sure” said Saki.

“Yeah!” said Yūshi and Aika.

“In my opinion, guys, which of these two can possibly make it to the NBA?” asked Haruka.

“Well, Kazuhiro can be a perfect candidate to enter the NBA” said Shimako.

“Subaru isn’t doing great the most because he’s not reaching his potential yet” said Shizuka.

“But if I remember correctly, Kazuhiro was attending an international training camp for young people below 15 years old when he was in middle school. He was able to travel to different cities if he had the desire to train there” said Ruri.

“Unlike Subaru, who was actually trained by his father since he started his career” said Saki.

“Ah, I see. Kazuhiro is such as nice guy to watch in the future if he’s ready make it pro” said Haruka.

“With all-around athleticism and tenacious finishing moves being his best, he might possibly get a chance to play overseas” said Kiyoko.

“If he can try his best to shine for more” said Yuichi.

“But he hasn’t said anything about that yet” said Tsunejirō.

“I believe so” said Shimako.

“But as far as I know, Kazuhiro isn’t ready to make it to the NBA yet because he hasn’t competed in international competitions or just attended a worldwide training around the world. He’s still need to improve his skills if he wants to make his basketball career getting elevated with his own level” said Shizuka.

“A lot of sportswriters said that Kazuhiro is projected to be a five-star player once he finished high school” said Michiko.

“Which is why a lot of universities and colleges in our country are expecting to recruit him, but for some reason, he hasn’t been offered by those yet” said Naoya.

“Unlike some best players in Japan, Kazuhiro was by far the most awaited prospect to step up in the future once he’s in transition of going pro by the time he will end his college career” said Nanami.

“That’s why he’s going to be phenomenal to shine and elevate his own game to the next level” said Shigeru.

“Well, I will be happy if we will have him going to the NBA, but this is going to be tough for him to make it” said Haruka.

“Unless he can go to a preparatory school in the States once he’s done in Japan” said Tsunejirō.

“He will have his chance to make it to the NBA if he goes for that” said Kiyoko.

“That way, he will be amazing to see him developed to become a rising star very soon’ said Yuichi.

“Yes, I agree with that, guys, but for right now, he hasn’t announced it yet” said Shimako.

“He is still focusing on his high school career as he is hoping to lead his team to a championship this year, so that he will still get his attention to become the best player in Japan one day” said Shizuka.

“Does that mean he’s uncertain about his future?” asked Aika.

“I guess so” said Shimako while Shizuka nods her head without answering it.

“I think that he has to be more confident in making his team ready to go on fire as soon as he’s going to make the game fiery and running with his own ways” said Aika.

“Then, if he’s ready to elevate, then he will be ready to do whatever it takes to get balling!” said Yūshi.

“Yeah!” said Shimako and Shizuka.

“If I remember correctly, when Subaru was talking about his future before when we were in the Dragons of Ōta, he said that there is a chance that one of the best players in our country will end up going to the NBA one day” said Shimako.

“Wait a minute! You know about this?” reacted Yūshi.

“There’s no way he can say that!” said Aika.

“Of course, he said! Subaru said that when he looked on his research about the possible prospects that are worthy to make it to the NBA, but sadly, he said that only a few had been considered worthy” said Shimako.

“Which is why it’s ambiguous to say that the Japanese are worthy to play in the NBA, but certainly one day, they will produce one very soon’ said Shizuka.

“Ah, I see. I guess that some Japanese players aren’t having a potential to make it to the NBA unless someone can step up” said Yūshi.

“It will be least likely going to happen unless we will witness someone who is already gaining attention to the world right now” said Aika. Aika’s words are referred to Yūta Watanabe and Rui Hachimura, who were currently making it to the NBA in the real world.

“Yeah” said Shiamko and Shizuka.

“So, what’s the difference, Shizuka-san?” asked Haruka.

“Some of the Japanese players haven’t reached its potential to the next level unless someone is already learning the moves of their favorite superstars in the league today” said Shizuka.

“For example, Kazuhiro can make stupendous and outstanding moves to let his fans know his name. That’s typically a hype, I tell you!” said Shimako.

“Yeah, of course! That Kazuhiro is getting strong based on his resume of being a champion for seven straight years in local competitions while earning a lot of awards such as MVP and All-Tournament Team” said Yūshi.

“He’s a terrific guy to watch out when he’s going pro if he can able to develop his skills for more, so that he can make his own moment” said Aika.

“Like clutch moments where he was very good at those” said Haruka.

“Just remember during the quarterfinals of the Middle School National Basketball Championship against Ryuuichi Suga and the Shizuno Middle School? His team got down by a lot before Kazuhiro made the biggest comeback of his career” said Kiyoko.

“Oh, yeah! I remember that one! You think, onēchan?” said Shizuka.

“Yeah! That’s when Kazuhiro had scored 15 out of 34 unanswered points in the last 5 minutes to come back against Shizuno” said Shimako.

“Too bad that Ryuuichi is pissed in that game” said Ruri.

“Just like how it happened in the final of the Fuchsia and Celadon Dragons Tournament” said Saki.

“Where Subaru’s team made the comeback to stop Ryuuichi’s team” said Michiko.

“Yes, it is!” said Yūshi while Aika and the rest say “Yeah!” to agree with Shimako.

“It was a big moment for him to save his team after being down by a lot” said Yūshi.

“But you will never forget that moment because it feels amazing to see Subaru coming back from that deficit like it hasn’t been done before in his career” said Aika.

“Yeah! Everyone had been surprised about this when Subaru and his team finally turned back on track with that Complete Synchronization Skill” said Shimako.

“Which it makes Subaru being transitioned to be like Kazuhiro” said Shizuka.

“Yeah!” said Yūshi, Aika and their friends.

“I believe that Kazuhiro will be more of being a hero since he had made that feat for the first time in his career” said Yūshi.

“No Fukuoka native has ever done that before in the history of the Middle School National Basketball Tournament ever since its first edition until it finally happened two years ago” said Aika.

“Fukuoka had never been the prefecture of champions in middle school basketball until it finally happened when Kashii Gakuen got it” said Haruka.

“That’s why it leads to a more revolutionary movement in Fukuoka to make them as well as other schools in Fukuoka getting stronger right now” said Kiyoko.

“Yeah, that’s true, Kiyoko-san. I never seen those teams getting better than how it used to before the last 20 years, but it’s finally real to see that coming” said Shimako.

“Imagine that a team from Fukuoka had been coming from the lower level finally rising to the top? It’s so surprising that history has been made in youth basketball competitions since then” said Shizuka.

“Yeah, we agree, Shizuka-san!” said Yūshi, Aika and their friends.

“I believe that we will watch out for those once any of their representatives are ready for national competitions this year, especially they have produced a lot of great athletes that will change the game of sports forever, especially in basketball” said Yūshi.

“It will be amazing that there’s going to be surprises to come in sports one day, but you never know that they will never sleep themselves for sure!” said Aika.

“Yeah!” said Shimako, Shizuka and the members of the Goyaume.

“Oh, one last thing to say before we’ll gonna have some fun to do for tonight is that Yasushi said that he had created his own world known as the Crimson Arrow world where he became an NBA player in an alternate world that it only just him and his friends on his side being majorly focused” said Shimako.

“Wow! I can’t believe that he did!” said Yūshi.

“That’s more surprising than my older brother’s birthday party last February!” said Aika, who had an older brother in Akinobu Tagami, who is currently a second year high school student from the Ōmori High School.

“Yep! Yasushi was also an aspired NBA player when he’s growing up, but he said that if he would enter to the NBA in his own universe, then he had to create his own world to represent with” said Shizuka.

“By the way, Yasushi is the only member of the New Camellian Dragons that is more worthy of going to the NBA in the future” said Shimako.

“No way!” shouted Yūshi and Aika.

“Is he going to make it to the top?” asked Haruka.

“He hasn’t reached his potential yet!” said Kiyoko.

“Well, he will definitely gonna make it if he’s good enough to shine his team although this would be difficult for him because he had to face a lot of threats from different school” said Shimako.

“Such as the Keishin Academy” said Shizuka.

“Tsukuba Gakuen” said Ruri.

“Ōtsuka Gakuen” said Saki.

“And the list goes on and on” said Michiko.

“It will be tough for him to stop them, but he will definitely make his way to shine like he used to” said Naoya.

“If he’s worthy of going to the NBA, then he had to get some tough training to work on with, so that he will be able to make it to that league for sure!” said Nanami.

“Or probably, he can go to preparatory school just like some Japanese players that they have used to visit there for extra training” said Shigeru.

“I hope so, guys, but he will be confident to do anything to make his career shine for sure” said Shimako.

“He’s not gonna give up no matter what because he is ready to prosper anyone with his word of wisdom” said Shizuka.

“Yeah!” said Yūshi, Aika and their friends.

“That’s why you’re gonna see those one day once he’s finally ready to reveal anything about his own universe” said Shimako.

“Even he’s busy with his school works, he will start work on that without hesitation” said Shizuka.

“Yeah, of course! He’s very resilient to do that!” said Yūshi.

“He can make his way to prosper, so that he will be ready to create his own game with respect” said Aika.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Shimako and Shizuka.

“Now that this one is over, we should definitely have some fun while celebrating this great banquet!” said Shimako.

“That’s right, onēchan! We should watch the highlights of last year’s Winter Cup, so that we can see who will watch out for this year!” said Shizuka.

“Yeah, we will do that!” said Yūshi, Aika and their friends.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Goyaume.

“That would be nice to enjoy this night!” said Ruri,

“It will be amazing to see who will be hyped for this year!” said Saki.

“Yeah, you should definitely watch because it’s going to be awesome!” said Shimako.

“Hopefully, you’ll be thrilled about this by the time we will finish watching those videos by the end of the great banquet” said Shizuka.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Yūshi, Aika, the friends of Yūshi and Aika and the members of the Goyaume.

“Now, let’s have some fun by watching the highlights of last year’s Winter Cup!” said Shimako.

“Yeah!” said Shizuka, Yūshi, Aika, the friends of Yūshi and Aika and the members of the Goyaume. Yūshi and Aika are feeling prospered to be with their cousins Shimako and Shizuka as they have been able to show their smiles to make them feel comfortable. It feels great for both Yūshi and Aika as they’re here to represent for Shimako because they were cousins and hopefully, they will keep maintaining their friendship as they are ready to prosper everyone on their side with smile and compassion.

I had previously posted the profile of the Murayama Red Tigers last year for the supplementary post of the first extra chapter of Volume 8 where the leader of that group is Yūshi Murayama, the cousin of Shimako Tagami, one-third of Gosanaki Trio, composed of her, Yasushi Shionji and Hinata Kiyama.

A Special Message from Kanon Shibuya

Hi, everyone! My name is Kanon Shibuya of Liella! and I’m so excited about my first postscript message for Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts because today is the first anniversary of the formation of my school idol group Liella! For those who don’t know about Liella!, it is a new school idol group that was introduced for the anime Love Live! Superstar!!, which is currently ongoing right now, and it is composed of five members unlike the first three groups, µ’s, Aqours and the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, which the first two, µ’s and Aqours, have nine members while NijiGaku has ten members, the most for a school idol group in Love Live! School Idol Project series. The five members of my school idol group are yours truly, Kanon, Keke Tang, Chisato Arashi, Sumire Heanna and Ren Hazuki. We came from the revived Yuigaoka Girls High School, located in Harajuku, Shibuya, and our goal is to become superstars like the small stars that shines brightest, which means that we want to shine our way by performing our songs to impress our fellow students, who wanted to believe us through our voice. Our school idol group had been determined to create our future because this is what we do to make sure that we’re rising up to become superstars one day. I’m always optimistic to lead Liella! because I always want my fellow members to gleam and shine, so that they will be able to make them smile. I became more connected to the three school idol groups when it comes to their way of shining themselves through impressing the crowd and making great moments to treasure with. Liella! is more of a rising school idol group because of the culture of school idols have been lived up in our school when it was revived and me and my fellow members were the first students to enroll, thanks to Ren’s mother, who is revealed to be our school’s principal. When it comes to representing for our homeplace Shibuya, which is my surname, we want to gleam and shine through our eyes and smiles because we seek better opportunities to show that we’re confident to make our school idol careers growing with our blessings and we will be courageous to inspire everyone who wanted to be like us. It’s so grateful that Liella! became transitioned to be a popular school idol group with our progress getting paid off and hopefully, by the end of our anime, we will be shining for more like how the three school idol groups have used to because we’re all here to connect and shine. I hope that you’re very motivated to see me and my fellow members with your smile because I always like to treat yourself blessed, so that you will be able to admire me for sure. Hopefully, you will continue to follow us because this is only just the beginning for us as superstars and you’re all here to give us the thrills that we want to gleam. Until then, I will see you next time when our school idol group will finally get featured in Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts, and keep inspiring us through your smiles and joys, everyone!

UP NEXT: Red Section-Chapter 74: “The Peach-Haired Lass of Minato Never Gives Up with Her Wisdom: Momo Kashiwada’s Birthday”

Yūshi and Aika have finally known about the secrets of the friendship between Subaru and Kazuhiro as they were fascinated to know those, which means that they believe that this kind of friendship is very special and they know that those two have been very closed with each other whether they have met with each other in Fukuoka or in Tokyo. Shimako, Yūshi and Aika have known with each other as they were cousins in the same family, the Tagami clan, and they have a great bond of friendship between each other. It’s so nice that both Yūshi and Aika have represented for Shimako because not only they were closed with each other, but they have shared their smiles and joys to make sure that they will develop their relationship as cousins.;) Hopefully, when they will collaborate with each other for future activities to come, they’re going to shine their community through their pride and willpower.:) I have finished the three side chapters that are related to the Gosanaki Trio, composed of Shimako, Yasushi Shionji and Hinata Kiyama, and of course, the first one is already posted, thus the other two will be posted in a few weeks. Hopefully, these things will be more interesting to see how the trio had been closed to their cousins as well as how they have gotten along with each other in the great banquet that celebrated the development of the friendship between the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka. Hopefully, you will be ready to see those in a few weeks because the next updates will be focused on different places.;) For the next update, it will be the first part of the birthday celebration of Momo Kashiwada, a member of the Bravehearts of Minato, as Momo had invited her friends from the Bravehearts of Minato to attend her birthday party at her home alongside her family members and her friends from the Peach Stella. It’s going to be more blooming and diving to witness this one and so, it’s going to be more of a special update in the Red Section Series, despite Momo’s image color is magenta. Get ready when I will be posting the next update on September 19 (Sunday), which will also be the birthday of Riko Sakurauchi of Aqours from Love Live! Sunshine!!:) I’ll see you on September 19 (Sunday) for the next update of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts!

 

[Sherwin Riga]

Hi, everyone! I had some bad news to tell you all. The bad news is that I can’t able to make progress of the new drafts of the Red Section Series on my other computer due to the desktop monitor had not worked anymore.:( The main reason for that is that the desktop monitor hadn’t turned off for hours after I had shut down that computer while I’m about to post the previous update last September 16 (Thursday). Last September 17 (Friday), I tried to open it many times, even I tried to get some help from my technician, but unfortunately, it’s not opened anymore.:( This means, I can’t able to finish the drafts of the 99th and 100th side chapters of the Red Section Series, which is supposedly meeting the deadline before the fourth anniversary of the formation of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, a school idol group from Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, on September 21 (Tuesday), which is also the birthday of Ruby Kurosawa of Aqours from Love Live! Sunshine!! As a result, I might have gonna finish these two drafts this week while I’m planning to work on the 101st side chapter, however, I hope that I will be able to finish those three this week before moving on to the next draft. Of course, I’m very confident that I can do it no matter what, which means that I will never give up until I will be able to get back in making progress of the new drafts of the Red Section Series. So, don’t worry about it because we still have a lot of finished drafts to be posted before reaching those and hopefully, you’re all here to make it for today’s update, which will be something special as it’s going to be focused on the birthday celebration of Momo Kashiwada, a member of the Bravehearts of Minato.:) Get ready to gleam and thrill with Momo and her friends because this is the special character birthday update that you will never forget!;)

But before you’ll read this update, this one will be dedicated to Akira Kamiya, Maria Sashide and Yui Horie. Akira had celebrated his birthday yesterday (September 18) while Maria and Yui will be celebrating their birthdays tomorrow (September 20). Born in Yokohama, Kanagawa, Akira is the voice actor of Ryoma Nagare (Getter Robo), Chōsuke Nakamoto (The Millionaire Detective Balance: Unlimited) and Odin (Warlords of Sigrdrifa). Coming out from Saitama, Maria is a member of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club from Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club as she is the voice actress of Emma Verde. Aside from being a member of NijiGaku, she is also a member of the four-girl idol group QU4RTZ, composed of her, Mayu Sagara (seiyu of Kasumi Nakasu), Akari Kitō (seiyu of Kanata Konoe) and Chiemi Tanaka (seiyu of Rina Tennōji). Maria is also the voice actress of Hana Shirosaki (Wataten!: An Angel Flew Behind Me, representing Wataten☆5), Mai Inose (Asteroid in Love) and Eve (Kiratto Pri☆Chan). She is also one of my favorite seiyus of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club alongside Akari Kitō, Aguri Ōnishi (seiyu of Ayumu Uehara), Kaori Maeda (seiyu of Shizuku Ōsaka) and Tomori Kusunoki (seiyu of Setsuna Yūki). And last but not the least, hailing from Tokyo, Yui is a voice actress and singer as she is known as the voice actress of Satomi Tachibana (How Heavy Are the Dumbells Lift?), Oto Kogane (Dropout Idol Fruit Tart), Akane Akaza (Yuru Yuri; the sister of Akari Akaza (CV: Shiori Mikami), Misato Honjo (Warlords of Sigdrifa), Minori Kushieda (Toradora!), Sonia Shaflnarz (Hayate the Combat Bulter!!), Mihoko Fukuji (Saki), Tsubasa Hanekawa (Monogatari), Maria Ushiromiya (Umineko When They Cry), Akane Mishima (Kämpfer), Carla (Fairy Tail), Millhoire Firianno Biscotti (Dog Days), Chie Satonaka (Persona 4: The Animation), Riki Naoe (Little Busters!), Yamaraiha (Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic), Serena Cadenzavna Eve (Symphogear seriues), Ryūnosuke Akasaka and Maid-chan (The Pet Girl of Sakurasou), Mikuru Shindou (Gardfight!!

I hope that those three will continue to make progress of their voice acting careers, especially to Yui as she had been doing great in making her voice acting and music career more blooming as she would be and as for Maria, I will keep watching out for her as she’ll always bring her smile while representing for NijiGaku and she will make herself comfortable and sweet to her loyal fans for sure!;) Belated happy birthday, Akira, and advanced happy birthday, Maria and Yui!:) Also, today (September 19) is the double birthday celebration as it will be the birthdays of Riko Sakurauchi (Love Live! Sunshine!!) and Chiya Ujimatsu (Is the Order a Rabbit?). Riko is a second year high school student from the Uranohoshi Girls’ High School as a transfer student from the Otonokizaka Girls’ Academy High School and a member of Aqours and Guilty Kiss. She is a talented young pianist, but felt that she had stopped improving, and moved to Numazu to take inspiration from the sea. She is also a capable violist. She had a history of a fear of dogs, which is not helped by the fact that the Takami family’s bog, Shiitake, seems to take an interest in her. However, she had eventually got over her feat of dogs to the point that she had loved them and adopted her own puppy by the end of the series. She was also interested in various shōjo and yuri manga, which she often bought collections on her brief returns to Tokyo. When she joined Aqours, she acted as the composer of the group. Riko is a compassionated and delighted close friend of Chika Takami (CV: Anju Inami) because they have been living together in the latter’s home, but also became close with Yoshiko Tsushima (CV: Aika Kobayashi) and Mari Ohara (CV: Aina Suzuki) where they have worked together for Guilty Kiss. Not only Riko is one of the members of Aqours to celebrate her birthday in the month of September, but Ruby Kurosawa (CV: Ai Furihata) will also celebrate her birthday this month as well as her birthday will be on September 21 (Tuesday), which is two days from now.:D On the other hand, Chiya is a classmate and a friend of Cocoa Hoto (CV: Ayane Sakura) at high school. Her family runs a coffee shop of their own, Ama Usa An, which has its own mascot named Anko, a red bean paste. Her grandmother and Chino’s grandfather have used to be business rivals, but she and Chino Kafū (CV: Inori Minase) have nothing intended to continue their rivalry. While she has a knack for thinking up creative names for the restaurant menu, she is physically weak and any tedious physical ability tires her out. She had gotten along well with Cocoa as they have shared the same “wavelength”, much to the other girls’ dismay. She is rather playful at times, often in a nonchalantly manner. Riko is voiced by Rikako Aida, in a coincidence that both Riko and Rikako were both in Tokyo, while Chiya is voiced by Satomi Satō, who is coming from Sendai, Miyagi. Happy birthday, Riko and Chiya!:) Now, things are about to be interesting for the next two updates because I’ll be posting today’s update, which will be focused on the birthday of Momo Kashiwada, a member of the Bravehearts of Minato. So, get ready because onto Minato for today’s update!:)

The next two updates will be a two-part side story that will be focused on the birthday party of Momo Kashiwada, a member of the Bravehearts of Minato, which means this one will be the first part that I will be posting right now while the other will be posted on September 22 (Wednesday). So, for today’s update, this is the part where Momo had invited her friends from the Bravehearts of Minato and the Peach Stella to her birthday party at her home. This is where you’re gonna witness all beautiful and prestigious moments that you’re gonna see because this update is all about Momo as she is always determined and compassionated for the Bravehearts of Minato to make sure that she will give them some blessings and inspirations for sure!:) One thing that you will find it very interesting is that the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club will not be appearing in this update, however, they will be appearing in the next update, which means that today's update will be a prequel to that one, which I’m going to post that in three days.;) So, get ready to make yourself comfortable and thrilled with Momo and her friends because here comes the 74th side chapter of the Red Section Series with the title, “The Peach-Haired Lass of Minato Never Gives Up with Her Wisdom: Momo Kashiwada’s Birthday”! Enjoy reading the 74th side chapter of the Red Section Series!:)

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES”
CHAPTER 74: “THE PEACH-HAIRED LASS OF MINATO NEVER GIVES UP WITH HER WISDOM: MOMO KASHIWADA’S BIRTHDAY”​

Date: May 7, 2010 (Friday)

This side chapter is focused on Momo Kashiwada as she had celebrated her birthday at her home in Kōnan where she will be joined by her fellow friends from the Bravehearts of Minato and the Peach Stella to celebrate her birthday. Momo’s birthday is on May 7.

At the Kashiwada Residence in Kōnan, Momo and her family members are looking at the set up for her birthday with the birthday cake being placed in the middle while the foods and drinks are ready to be served. She would be joined by the members of the Peach Stella, a group composed of the friends of Momo, led by Sayuri Moriguchi.

“What do you think, my daughter?” asked Kurori Kashiwada, the mother of Momo Kashiwada.

“Is it beautiful?” asked Tetsuya Kashiwada, the oldest brother of Momo Kashiwada and a second year college student from the Aoyama Gakuen University.

“Yeah! I love it!” said Momo.

“That’s nice! I’m so relieved that you like this preparation!” said Kōki Kashiwada, the second older brother of Momo Kashiwada and a third year high school student from the Hanzōsen High School.

“I’m glad that you like this theme for your birthday party, onēsan. Your personality of being the Peach-Haired Lass of Minato had made us feel motivated that you have shown some respect to your friends on your side” said Tsubomi Kashiwada, the older sister of Momo Kashiwada and a first year high school student from the Hanzōsen High School.

“They believe you because not only they have supported you for your basketball career, but they are always be there to motivate for you and your braveheart group” said Akinari Kashiwada, the youngest brother of Momo Kashiwada and a fifth grade elementary school student from the Hanzōsen Elementary School.

“You’re very compassionate to represent that group, Momo! I’m very proud of you!” said Sayuri Moriguchi, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and the leader of the Peach Stella.

“Thanks, guys! I’m very exhilarated right now because I’m feeling confident that this day will be the best that will never forget” said Momo.

“You got that right, Momo-san! It’s going to be amazing that you’re all set to make your birthday something really good!” said Tetsuya.

“Hopefully, you’ll make yourself comfortable with your friends when they will be here later on” said Kōki.

“Of course, boys! They will be here very soon. I’ll be motivated that all of you will be ready to show some pride and compassion for me as I’m ready to give you the blessings and inspirations that you will ever want to see” said Momo.

“Yeah!” said the siblings of Momo and the members of the Peach Stella.

A few second later, a doorbell was rung as someone had pressed the doorbell, which leads to Momo’s father Akiyuki Kashiwada walks his way to the door. “I’m coming!”

“I hope that it’s your close friends from your school, Momo” said Sayuri.

“Well, you’ll be surprised to see this!” said Momo while her father Akiyuki had opened the door as it was revealed to be the members of the Bravehearts of Minato. Joining with them are Yuika Shinozaki and her friends from her sub-group known as Team Shinozaki-Yajima.

Bravehearts of Minato: Divided into three groups

The members of the Bravehearts of Minato are shouting together in unison to surprise Momo. “Happy birthday, Momo-san!”

“Thanks, guys! I knew that you guys are here to make me feel happy because it’s my birthday, of course!” said Momo.

“That’s right, Momo-san! We came here to see you after we have finished preparing our birthday gifts that are about to given to you!” said Kōji.

“Since you’re turning 13, I’m so excited that you’re growing up to make sure that you will stay beautiful and comfortable” said Shinako.

“It’s going to be amazing that you’re gonna make this day feel good, so that you’ll be blessed and inspired” said Rina Aonuma.

“You’ll be very lucky to make yourself delighted for your birthday to be blooming!” said Hinako.

“Hopefully, you will be able to keep your smile for the rest of the day because it’s your birthday today” said Emiri.

“Of course, I will! I can do anything to make you all happy for my birthday!” said Momo.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Minato.

“It feels great that you have been very blissful to make this day a beautiful one” said Reina.

“I sat this party needs to be more enjoyable for all of us to celebrate your birthday” said Motoyuki.

“And since you are part of the Braveheaerts of Minato, you’ll be ready give us the smile that we want to see” said Yūjirō.

“Yes, indeed! I have been very cheerful to be with you, guys, ever since Kōji had entrusted me to join this group. I’m always delighted when we get along with each other and so, I’ll be more optimistic to bless and inspire me for sure” said Momo.

“Well, you’re looking uplifted now since you got us!” said Suzuka.

“I believe that you will be more confident to make us feel good for today” said Hinata.

“That’s what the bravehearts do to show their pride and compassion, so that they will be here to make themselves comfortable. Right, guys?” said Junsei.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Minato.

“That’s true, Junsei! All we have to do right is to make my birthday party started!” said Momo.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Minato.

“Now, we should go to the dining table and sing “The Happy Birthday Song” to Momo, so that we will be able to make her happy!” said Tetsuya.

“It’s going to be awesome that you’re all part of this!” said Kōki.

“You won’t miss this moment, I tell you!” said Sayuri.

“You got it!” said Momo.

“Yeah!” said Tsubomi, Akinari and the members of the Bravehearts of Minato and the Peach Stella.

Everyone would go to the dining table where they will celebrate the birthday of Momo. They would sing “The Happy Birthday Song” as Momo is feeling joyful to see them singing that song for her. After they finished singing that song, Momo is about to blow her candle when Kōji and Shinako speak to her.

“Now, before you blow the candles, you have to make a wish first!” said Kōji.

“You have to say that in front of us before you will have the time to blow those candles to make your wish come true” said Shinako.

“Sure, I would be glad to!” said Momo as she’s going to say her wish to her friends on her side. “I wish that I will make everyone feel happy to be with me, so that they will be able to trust me through their hearts.” Then, Momo blows the candles, which makes the siblings of Momo and the members of the Bravehearts of Minato and the Peach Stella feel happy to see Momo’s wish finally come true.

“Happy birthday, Momo!” said Tetsuya, Kōki, Tsubomi, Akinari and the members of the Bravehearts of Minato and the Peach Stella.

“I’m feeling delighted to make my birthday a harmonious and thrilling one!” said Momo.

“That’s right, Momo-san! I’m so happy that you’re growing up while keeping your smile and compassion through the fullest. Everyone knows that you’re a valiant and enthusiastic girl to represent not only for us, but the entire Bravehearts of Minato” said Tetsuya.

“You will be more thrilled to make everyone feel compassionated because you got all the shots to bless and inspire them” said Kōki.

“Yeah! It will be amazing to make you comfortable with your friends on your side because I like the way you defended for them since they’re friends with you” said Tsubomi.

“And hopefully, you’ll be able to keep this up through your heart” said Akinari.

“Yes, I will, guys! I promise!” said Momo.

“Oh, I’m getting goosebumps to see this!” said Rina Aounuma.

“She’s not giving up through her compassionated heart because she’s always there to support us!” said Hinako.

“I love her determination, girls!” said Emiri.

“She’s really shown her smile to make herself comfortable!” said Ruriko.

“It made me feel uplifted and joyful to see her having a good day because she’s the Peach-Haired Lass of Minato” said Yasue.

“You’re right about that! She will be more of a compassionated girl when she comes out with her smile” said Shinako.

“Yeah, I agree, Shina! I’m always coming out to make everyone smile because I’m very determine to give them the blessings and inspirations, so that they will be humbler enough to trust me. As a member of the Bravehearts of Minato, I’m ready to do whatever it takes to make the community shine with my pride and compassion” said Momo.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Minato.

“That’s my Momo! She’s feeling great to see her smile right now!” said Reina.

“Yep! I like her determination to make sure that she will make her day a good one!” said Suzuka.

“Whenever she proves to her opponents, she can dazzle her way with her magnificent moves, so that she will be shining her way with her smile” said Hinata.

“Yeah, that’s true, girls. Momo has a wisdom on her heart as she wants to represent not only her family, but us” said Kōji.

“And that’s why she’s very determined to make us feel blessed and inspired for sure!” said Junsei.

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

“Now, what are you all waiting for? Let’s get this party started!” said Momo.

“Yeah!” said Tetsuya, Kōki, Tsubomi, Akinari and the members of the Bravehearts of Minato and the Peach Stella.

Momo begins to cut the birthday cake into pieces and gives those to her friends. On the other hand, the members of the Bravehearts of Minato and the Peach Stella would get their foods at the table, so that they will eat those for their dinner. They are very harmonious in celebrating Momo’s birthday, of course, because they have a long history of their friendship with Mimi when Kōji had invited her to join the Bravehearts of Minato.

At the living room, Momo, her siblings and the members of the Bravehearts of Minato and the Peach Stella are having a conversation with each other while the birthday presents were placed in the table.

“Now, let’s see what are those birthday presents would be like, Momo-san!” said Shinako.

“Yep!” said Momo while giving Shinako a smile on her face before looking forward to pick one of the birthday gifts from her fellow groupmates. “Let me get this one.” Momo would pick the birthday present from Emiri.

“So, you pick my present, Momo-chan. That sounds interesting” said Emiri.

“Yeah, I’m going to start picking the gifts with the very close ones before going to the others” said Momo.

“That’s good. Now, open it up” said Emiri.

“Sure!” said Momo as she unwraps the birthday present from Emiri. Emiri’s birthday gift to Momo is a cologne.

“It’s a cologne!” said Sachie.

“Now that’s what I want to see you blooming if you can use that!” said Emiri.

“Yeah! I like this one, Emiri!” said Momo while testing it out on her clothes. “How’s that?”

Emiri gleams while taking the smell of the new cologne that Momo had. “That sounds refreshing, Momo-chan!”

“I like that smell!” said Sachie.

“I’m so blooming to see you using that cologne to make you shine!” said Ayame.

“Now that’s what I call ‘blooming through that scent’, Momo! I really like that one!” said Moeko.

“We used to use those while preparing ourselves to school!” said Sayaka.

“It will be amazing to use that cologne to make you comfortable with your appearance” said Natsuko.

“Yeah, I agree! I have my own style to take when I’m wearing something fancy and beautiful and I’m very satisfied with it” said Momo.

“You’re surely right about that! It will make you prettier and cuter when you will shine your way in meeting new friends on your side” said Emiri.

“Yes, of course! I have some faith for them because they know how to trust me and I will do anything to make them smile” said Momo.

“Yeah!” said Emiri, Sachie, Ayame, Moeko, Sayaka and Natsuko.

“Now, who goes next, Momo-san?” asked Kōji.

Momo would pick the birthday present from Yumi. “How about this one?”

“Oh, it’s my gift, Momo! Just open it up to see what’s inside!” said Yumi.

“Okay!” said Momo as she unwraps the birthday present from Yumi. Yumi’s birthday gift to Momo is a new pencil case. “Wow! It’s so beautiful!”

“Well, what do you know? You can keep your pencils and ballpens into that case!” said Yumi.

“Yeah, I like this one!” said Momo.

“Now, you can put all your writing materials into that new case, so that you won’t be able to lose those for sure” said Junsei.

“Yep!” said Momo before thanking Yumi while giving her a smile. “Thank you, Yumi!”

“You’re welcome!” said Yumi.

Momo would quickly pick the birthday present from Sachie before unwrapping it. It was revealed to be a magenta-colored skirt. “This one is very beautiful!”

“You can wear it out later on if you want to make yourself stylish” said Sachie.

“Yes, I could do that, Sachie!” said Momo.

Momo would pick another birthday gift from sometime, but this time, it’s a birthday gift from Moeko. Momo would unwrap it and inside of it, it’s a flower hairpin. “Oh, that’s very nice!”

“That hairpin would be nice for you to make yourself beautiful!” said Moeko.

“Yes, it is, Moeko!” said Momo before wearing it on the left side of her hair. “See?”

“Wow! You’re gorgeous!” said Sayaka.

“I can’t believe that it’s so nice that you have this!” said Natsuko.

“I like it when you wear that one, Momo-san!” said Moeko.

“Thanks, girls! You’re all too kind to say that” said Momo.

“You’re welcome!” said Sayaka, Moeko and Natsuko.

The next birthday present that Momo unwrapped is going to be Yasue’s birthday present as this one is a hippy hat. “This one is so cool! I can wear that one if it’s hot in one place!”

“That’s right, Momo-san! It suits you, so that you don’t want to get radiated by the sun” said Yasue.

“Yeah, that’s true. I don’t want to get sunburned, to be honest” said Momo.

“Of course, you don’t!” said Yasue.

After that, Momo had unwrapped another birthday gift as this time, it is a birthday gift from Ayame, which contains a companion book of fruits and flowers in Japan. “I’m liking this one!”

“Yes, it is, Momo! Your family had been named based on fruits and flowers, which is suited for you to read those, so that you won’t be difficult in Science because you’re almost acing it” said Ayame.

“Yeah, I guess so” said Momo.

“Wait a minute. Are you good in that subject?” queried Junya Naganuma, a fifth grade elementary school student from the Hanzōsen Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Minato, representing Team Shinozaki-Yajima.

“I thought that you’re not smart on that before” wondered Akihisa Sōma, a fifth grade elementary school student from the Hanzōsen Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Minato, representing Team Shinozaki-Yajima.

“To be honest, I’m good in Science, but not almost perfect to say because I still have more things to discover like the new topics that my Science teacher had discussed with” said Momo. The Science teacher of Momo’s class section 1-3 is Motohisa Yanagisawa.

“Ah, okay. That’s not bad at all” said Junya.

“I guess that you’re aiming to get high grades on that one” said Akihisa.

“That would be amazing that you could get a better improvement on that subject” said Masahide Yajima, a fifth grade elementary school student from the Hanzōsen Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Minato, representing Team Shinozaki-Yajima. Masahide is one-half of the co-leaders of Team Shinozaki-Yajima.

“Yeah, of course! Ayame and I are looking forward to pass Science this year because we want to discover more topics in that subject” said Momo.

“That way, we’re smart enough to be good at it” said Ayame.

“Yeah!” said Masahide, Junya and Akihisa.

Momo would pick the birthday present from Ruriko as this one contains a decorated card with a peach flower on it. “Wow! I can’t believe that you made this for me!”

“Yes, you are, Momo-san! I’m very good in designing cards like this ever since I was little. You should give me the credit on this!” said Ruriko.

“Oh, sure, I would be glad to!’ said Momo.

“That card was really nice! Momo had given those to anyone in our group where there’s a birthday celebrant out there” said Shinako.

“She always had some skills to make it beautiful…” said Azusa.

“…and charming! Those cards are picture perfect for everyone to love those!” said Maika Kayama, a second year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Minato. She is also the younger sister of Mio Kayama and the cousin of Ayumu Uehara, a member of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.

“Yes, I agree, Maika! This card was very blooming, I tell you!” said Momo.

“You got that right, Momo-san! It suits you to be more compassionate to everyone and you have to keep your smile for us” said Ruriko.

“Of course, I will, Ruriko!” said Momo.

The next birthday present to be unwrapped is coming from Yūjirō as Momo was surprised that her birthday present from him is a pink opal pendant. “This one is gorgeous!”

Yūjirō speaks to Momo as he gives her a smile on his face. “Yep! You can wear those in a formal party if you want.”

“Why, thank you for this gift, Yūjirō! I’m very delighted that this one is good!” said Momo.

“Yes, girl!” said Yūjirō.

After which, Momo had unwrapped another birthday present, which she picked Suzuka’s, which was shared with Hinata. Momo’s birthday present from Suzuka and Hinata is a sling bag.

“Hey! This one is very cute! I like the design!” said Momo.

“Yes, it is, Momo! Your favorite color as well as a magical girl theme design are perfectly matched with your appearance!” said Suzuka.

“Now, you can believe this big like pretending to be a magical girl” said Hinata.

“Well, it’s not bad to say that least, but I like it, of course!” said Momo.

“See, I told you that you will like this one!” said Suzuka.

“I’m sure that you’re gonna wear that one day” said Hinata.

“Yeah!” said Momo.

“What about mine, Momo-san?” asked Yuika Shinozaki, a fifth grade elementary school student from the Hanzōsen Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Minato, representing Team Shinozaki-Yajima, while pointing at her birthday gift, which is wrapped in persimmon-colored print. Yuika is also one-half of the co-leaders of Team Shinozaki-Yajima.

“Oh, okay! I will see what’s inside, Yuika!” said Momo as she gets the birthday present from Yuika before unwrapping it. Momo’s birthday present from Yuika is a checkered attire and checkered skirt, which are identical to the ones by Setsuna Yūki, who wore those while performing her song 「DIVE! 」 in the third episode of the first season of Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. “Wow! I can’t believe that this one is so beautiful!” The song 「DIVE! 」 was performed by Setsuna Yūki, who is voiced by Tomori Kusunoki.

“Yep! I haven’t seen that kind of attire before until a friend of mine named Tamaki Shiraki said that she saw one when Setsuna was in the Takanashi Derby” said Yuika. Tamaki Shiraki is a fifth grade elementary school student from the Hanzōsen Elementary School and a friend of Yuika Shinozaki.

“Her attire was so hot when she performed a song for her loyal fans earlier” said Ayaka Suzuhara, a fifth grade elementary school student from the Hanzōsen Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Minato, representing Team Shinozaki-Yajima.

“Ah, that’s cool! I’m so surprised that this one was resembled to that Setsuna’s because this one rocks!” said Momo.

“Yeah!” said Yuika, Ayaka, Sae, Nanako, Airi and Fuyumi.

“The six of us were friends with Setsuna through Yuika’s older sister Kayoko Shinozaki, a first year high school student from the Hanzōsen High School. We sometimes looked at her PV videos with her fellow club members and those are so cool!” said Sae Sekine, a fifth grade elementary school student from the Hanzōsen Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Minato, representing Team Shinozaki-Yajima.

“We were so determined to impress Setsuna because we want to praise her if we liked her performance” said Nanako Uekusa, a fifth grade elementary school student from the Hanzōsen Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Minato, representing Team Shinozaki-Yajima.

“She’s pretty beautiful with her voice being harmonious like a real idol and of course, she can dive her way to shine with the rest of NijiGaku” said Airi Egami, a fifth grade elementary school student from the Hanzōsen Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Minato, representing Team Shinozaki-Yajima.

“You should be more confident that you will be like her if you can wear that precious gift from Yuika” said Fuyumi Miyagawa, a fifth grade elementary school student from the Hanzōsen Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Minato, representing Team Shinozaki-Yajima.

“Well, I’m not complaining about this, but I will wear this laer on!” said Momo.

“Alright!” said Yuika, Ayaka, Sae, Nanako, Airi and Fuyumi.

“I’m so excited that you’re gonna wear this!” said Yuika.

“You will make yourself more beautiful to make us feel good!” said Ayaka.

“You have some good style of clothing that you preferred for, so this one will help you being hot!” said Sae.

“Yes, I will!” said Momo.

“Look at your gift from Yuika-san, Momo-san! It was so beautiful!” said Shinako.

“It’s so shiny when you wear it!” said Azusa.

“Setsuna-san will be so proud when you’ll wear it later!” said Hinako.

“You already know that you will be ready to dive for a blessed day, Momo-san!” said Rina Aonuma.

“That way, you’re looked more beautiful than ever!” said Junsei.

“Sure, I will, guys! I’m sure that you’re all excited for this, but this gift will be hotter than you expect!” said Momo.

“Yeah!” said Tetsuya, Kōki, Tsubomi, Akinari and the members of the Bravehearts of Minato and the Peach Stella.

“Who goes next?” asked Sayuri.

“Let’s get this one” said Momo as she picks the birthday presents from Junsei and Rina.

“You picked two of them?!” shouted Sayuri.

“Are you serious about that, Momo?!” exclaimed Hiroko Kazami, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and a member of the Peach Stella.

“Yep! I’m very close friends with both Rina and Junsei, which is why I want to get those two to see what’s inside” said Momo.

“Interesting picks, I say!” said Toshimi Kurose, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and a member of the Peach Stella.

“Well, it looked identical, to be honest, but I hope that those two will be good” said Miyako Izumiya, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and a member of the Peach Stella.

“Maybe, it could be something valuable to use with” said Akane Morishita, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and a member of the Peach Stella.

“Or something that is gleaming just like Yuika’s” said Hina Shiokoshi, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and a member of the Peach Stella.

“Not sure about this, but I will open it right now!” said Momo.

“Okay!” said Sayuri, Hiroko, Toshimi, Miyako, Akane and Hina.

“Before you open those two, Momo-san, I know that those gifts are special because the three of us were close with each other” said Rina Aonuma.

“Yeah! You have cherished us on our birthdays and so, we decided to make special gifts just for you!” said Junsei.

“I know about that, Junsei. To be honest, it’s going to be awesome if this one is going to be good!” said Momo.

“Yeah, I hope that you’re right about that, Momo-san” said Rina Aonuma.

“Once you will open those’ said Junsei.

“Sure!” said Momo as she unwraps the two birthday presents and she’s finally feeling happy about the fact that those gifts are composed of a ruby necklace (Rina) and a headphone (Junsei). “Wow! I’m so surprised that you give this to me?!”

“Yeah!” said Rina and Junsei.

“That’s great!” said Momo before giving Rina and Junsei a hug. “Thank you very much, you two!”

“You’re welcome, Momo-san!” said Rina and Junsei.

“That ruby necklace is so special because it’s your lucky charm!” said Rina Aonuma.

“And that headphone is more compared to Rina Tennōji’s, but without cat eared. It’s just an ordinary one” said Junsei. Junsei is revealed to be friends with Rina Tennōji, a member of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.

“Oh, that’s very nice, guys! I can’t wait to wear those!” said Momo.

“Yes, you will!” said Rina and Junsei.

“Now, there are a few gifts remaining that you need to open, Momo. Which one will you choose?” said Reina.

Momo is confident on who will be picking next as she had to contemplate it in a few seconds before deciding to pick the birthday present from Sayuri. “I’m going with this one!”

“Whoa!” surprisingly exclaimed Reina.

“You picked that one?!” shouted Kōji.

“Yep! I will save the closest ones for later, but this one is very important” said Momo.

“Ah, okay. I see that point” said Kōji.

“That one is form your special friend, I think?” queried Reina.

“Yes, it was. I had some friends from the Peach Stella and that’s why I’m going to open it to see what’s inside” said Momo.

“Oh, goody! I’m sure that you’re gonna like this one!” said Sayuri.

“Of course!” said Momo while unwrapping the birthday present from Sayuri and before she knows it, her birthday present from Sayuri is a magenta-colored shirt with white stars on it. “Oh, wow! This shirt is so cool!”

“Yes, it is, Momo! This one is a special shirt for an honorary member of our group because you are a friend of mine” said Sayuri.

“Because we believe that you have some hopes and dreams to make up with” said Hiroko.

“That’s why we made this gift just for you, so that you will be able to bless and inspire us” said Shōjirō Yamashita, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and a member of the Peach Stella.

“You mean, this one is for me?” surprisingly asked Momo.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Peach Stella while giving Momo a smile.

“Oh, that’s so sweet! Thank you very much, guys!” said Momo.

“You’re welcome!” said the members of the Peach Stella.

“I’m sure that you’re gonna wear that once we’re going to get along with each other one day” said Sayuri.

“So that, you will be able to represent for us” said Hiroko.

“It will be amazing that you’re gonna love this when you’re wearing it” said Shōjirō.

“Because we will work together as a group of friends” said Toshimi.

“Yep! You got it!” said Momo.

“Now, we’re down to four more gifts that need to be unwrapped. So, it’s going to be either Shinako, Hinako, Reina or Kōji” said Sayuri.

“Yep! It seems that those four will be more valuable just like the others gifts that you have” said Hiroko.

“So, it’s going to be a game changer on who will get first” said Shōjirō.

“Yes, it is, Shōjirō! I begin to tempting on who will go first, but I have already a decision to go on with” said Momo as she picks the birthday present from Hinako.

“I see what you’re picking, Momo-san!” said Shinako.

“Yeah! You picked mine, which means that you’re about to open that one” said Hinako.

“Of course!” said Momo.

“Let’s see what you have from Hinako-chan!” said Ruriko.

“I hope that it’s going to be good!” said Yasue.

“Yeah!” said Momo as she unwraps the birthday present from Hinako, which inside of it is a pair of magenta-colored shoes. “Oh, wow! I like this one!”

“Well, you could use that to replace your shoes that you used from last year, Momo-san” said Hinako.

“It fits you very well to shine for more!” said Shinako.

“Yes, it is, girls!” said Momo.

“That pair of shoes is going to be lit!” said Rina Aonuma.

“Hopefully, it will make you dazzling for more since you’re the Peach-Haired Lass of Minato” said Junsei.

“You will do anything to make the real game for you and our team” said Emiri.

“Yeah, I will! I can’t wait to see how this works when I’m using this in a real game very soon. This one could be nicer than the older one that I’m wearing” said Momo.

“I agree with that, Momo-san! Why don’t you wear that later on to see for yourself?” said Kōji.

“That way, we will impress you while wearing it!” said Reina.

“Sure!” said Momo.

“Oh, I’m so excited about this, Hinata! Momo is going to show how her new shoes are fit to make herself prepared for game time very soon” said Suzuka.

“Yeah, I believe so, Suzuka. Momo didn’t have a shoe that is very special because her old shoes is just light, but little improved on her speed” said Hinata.

“But with her new shoes, she’s ready to make herself dazzle for a better performance” said Nozomu Sugiyama, a third year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and the captain of the Hanzōsen Middle School boys’ basketball team.

“She will be getting better to perform something big to surprise with!” said Toshimi Yagira, a third year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and the captain of the Hanzōsen Middle School girls’ basketball team.

“Yes, indeed! I’m going to say that Momo will be ready to step up for her team, now that she had her new shoes to wear for a new chapter. She’s not gonna lose her energy, thanks to it!” said Suzuka.

“Well, I would love to see that when she’s playing in the court, but let’s see if this translates to the court in the next training on Wednesday” said Toshimi Yagira.

“Yeah!” said Suzuka.

Momo would pick the birthday present from Shinako as this one will be the next to unwrap. She would reveal it to her fellow friends. “I got this magnificent dress!”

“That’s amazing!” said Junsei.

“I can’t believe that it’s an evening gown!” said Rina Aonuma.

“This could be used for the ball if our school can ever organize that!” said Emiri.

“Well, I can use that one for Tetsuya’s birthday party, which will be in three months” said Momo. Her oldest brother’ Tetsuya’s birthday is on August 10.

“That’s good!” said Rina Aonuma.

“I like that!” said Junsei.

“That would make your older brother so happy that you will wear this!” said Emiri.

“Yeah, I agree!” said Momo.

“That gown is typically special to you because you’re the Peach-Haired Lass of Minato and it will be amazing to represent us while wearing that dress” said Shinako.

“Yeah! It will work out with your smile and heart, which means that you’ll be fully blessed and harmonious for sure!” said Hinako.

“Yes, it is, girls! I can’t wait to wear this one day, but I will have to save it for some time” said Momo.

“Okay!” said Shinako and Hinako.

“Momo-san” said Kōji.

“Yes, Kōji-sama, what is it?” asked Momo.

“Since Reina is very close to you, in my opinion, then you should unwrap my birthday present to you” said Kōji.

“Okay, then! No mind if I do!” said Momo as she gets the birthday present from Kōji and unwraps it. Her birthday present from Kōji is headphone. “Oh, look at this! It’s a brand new headphone!”

“Yep! You know that you like some music while relaxing yourself?” said Kōji.

“Especially when you want to hear the songs from NijiGaku?” asked Reina.

“Yes, I used to do that, Kōji and Reina!” said Momo.

“So, you are in luck because I want you to have this, so that you will be able to make yourself comfortable while relaxing your day” said Kōji.

“Well, that’s very nice!” said Momo before thanking Kōji with a smile on her face. “Thank you very much, Kōji! You’re the best!”

“You’re welcome!” said Kōji.

“Nice new headphones, Momo-san!” said Moeko.

“Looks like you’re gonna be more comfortable to listen to music every time when you want to take a break from basketball” said Sayaka.

“You’ll be grooving to see what’s hot in music!” said Natsuko.

“Yes, of course, girls! I used to listen to music if I’m being bored a lot, which it makes me feel better to sooth me down like this” said Momo.

“Honestly, you’re a calm and humble girl, Momo-san, because you’re very generous to your friends like us” said Moeko.

“Everyone will be delighted to get along with you when you made us smile. That way, we will be happy to shine together” said Sayaka.

“So, hopefully, you’ll be able to be confident when you want to have a good day because it’s special day to thank everyone including us” said Natsuko.

“Yeah, I agree! I know that this birthday is gonna be more special for me to do anything to make myself comfortable, but I hope that this day will be blooming and prosperous for sure!” said Momo.

“Yeah!” said Moeko, Sayaka and Natsuko.

“Well, it’s down to this one and I hope that this one will be better” said Momo as she holds the birthday present from Reina before unwrapping it to see what’s inside. To her surprise, it is a peach-colored wristband with the words ‘Keep Calm and Be Beautiful’, written in Japanese and all caps in black. “Oh! This is so nice, Reina!”

“Yes, it is, Momo. I made a customized wristband from a design shop, so that you want to use it to represent us” said Reina.

“We all know that you’re the Peach-Haired Lass of Minato because you’re showing some pride and compassion to us” said Shinako.

“It will be great to wear it, so that you will motivate yourself” said Hinako.

“Everyone will know your name when you will step up into the court, so that you will make them smile” said Emiri.

“Yes, of course, girls! I’m very determined to show my pride and willpower to everyone because I’ll be able to groom my way to contribute for my team” said Momo.

“That sounds good, Momo-chan! I’m loving it!” said Ruriko.

“You’re looking better now!” said Yasue.

“I’m feeling happy that you’re showing some determination to make yourself comfortable for all of us” said Sachie.

“Nothing can be afraid of you anymore because you’re one of us now” said Ayame.

“A tough heart can make you motivate, so that you will be able to shine your way and earn yourself better” said Yumi.

“Yeah, I agree with that! I’m always showing my determination to everyone and hopefully, I will do my best to make Hanzōsen a stronger and formidable team to reckon with” said Momo.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Minato.

“I’m so pumped up to see you motivating yourself, Momo-san! You’ll be ready to shine your new career in middle school just like your friends out there and the rest of our varsity team” said Toshimi Kurose.

“Yes, I believe so, Toshimi-sama! I’m ready no matter because I’m gonna show everyone that I will shine with my tough heart!” said Momo.

“Yeah! That’s more I like it! Just be ready to make yourself dazzled and shined for our team in the next training” said Toshimi Kurose.

“Yes, I will!” said Momo.

“You know, Momo, we were very kind to support your basketball career because you’re one of them now and since the four of us are very close to you all the time, I believe that you can have this” said Tsubomi while holding a birthday present, which makes Momo feeling blissful to see her sister ready to give it to her.

“Oh, is this one for me?” asked Momo.

“Yeah!” said Tsubomi as she gives the birthday present to Momo. “Here, take this.”

“Thank you very much, Tsubomi!” said Momo before unwrapping the birthday present to see what’s inside. Inside of it is a notebook that its cover is a gradient of magenta and peach. “Wow! This one is so cool! I can write it for my diary!”

“Yes, you can, sister! You can write anything that you want in this notebook, especially you want to write your secrets out there, so that no one will see this” said Tsubomi.

“Well, I would love to do that, but I’m only sticking to making diaries because it made me feel good to show how those memories will be made and hopefully, I don’t want to forget those” said Momo.

“That’s good! I hope that you will be able to do a lot of moments to write with because that would be fantastic to share it to us one day” said Tsubomi.

“Sure, I would be glad to!” said Momo.

“Momo, my birthday gift for you is something that you should definitely use for the weekend. Just open it up” said Tetsuya.

“Okay!” said Momo as she unwraps the birthday present from her oldest brother Tetsuya and it was revealed to be a peach-colored plain shirt. “Alright! This one is good! I can totally use that for a morning jog with my fellow friends!”

“That’s right, Momo! You can wear that while having a jog with your friends from the Bravehearts of Minato every morning of the weekend, so that you will be able to feel good” said Tetsuya.

“You don’t have to worry about picking any random clothing anymore, sis, because this one is suited for you” said Kōki.

“Yeah, of course!” said Momo.

“It’s fine that you will have that for your jogging activity, but hopefully, we can join you one day” said Akinari.

“So that, it will be amazing that we will be fit and healthy for sure!” said Tetsuya.

“Yeah, sure! You’ll be my guests when we’re having that by tomorrow!” said Momo.

“Okay!” said Tetsuya, Kōki, Tsubomi and Akinari.

“Now that the birthday presents are all unwrapped, we’re definitely gonna want to see you wearing your new attire that Yuika gave it to you” said Hinako.

“That way, you’ll be ready to dive to shine!” said Shinako.

“Okay, you got it!” said Momo as she’s going to her own room at the second floor to change her clothes that she had worn earlier. A few minutes later, she finally returns to meet with her fellow friends, but this time, wearing her new attire. “What do you think? Isn’t it beautiful?”

“Yes, of course!” said Shinako.

“I love it!” said Hinako.

“Perfectly fit for you to make yourself comfortable, Momo-san!” said Azusa.

“That’s more I like it!” said Maika.

“You’re more of a superstar, Momo!” said Sayuri.

“Looking good to fit your personality of being determined and courageous” said Suzuka.

“Yeah! I’m feeling happy that you’re more beautiful now!” said Hinata.

“That attire was so stupendous!” said Yūjirō.

“It made me so surprised to see that coming!” said Motoyuki.

“I’m definitely glad that you’re wearing this to make yourself stylish and beautiful” said Reina.

“A braveheart can make everyone smile while wearing a beautiful attire like that” said Kōji.

“That is more stylish, I tell you!” said Rina Aonuma.

“Yeah! I’m impressed to see you wearing that one!” said Junsei.

“That’s so fantastic!” said Momo.

“I like your dress!” said Ruriko.

“You’re looking good right now!” said Yasue.

“I’m very happy that you wear this one!” said Sachie.

“It’s beautiful!” said Ayame.

“You’re looking gorgeous and charismatic right now!” said Yumi.

“That one rocks!” said Moeko.

“Yeah, me too! You’re looked sexier right now!” said Sayaka.

“I’m feeling happy that you’re wearing it for Setsuna!” said Natsuko.

“I’m totally liking this one!” said Masahide.

“Oh, this one is looked to be on fire!” said Naoya Sunama, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Minato. He is also a member of the Hanzōsen Middle School boys’ basketball team due to him being friends with Junsei.

“Thanks, guys! I’m so happy that I’m wearing this right now and hopefully, it will be amazing to share this to my friends later on!” said Momo.

“Yeah!” said Tetsuya, Kōki, Tsubomi, Akinari and the members of the Bravehearts of Minato and the Peach Stella.

“It feels great this birthday party getting blooming and harmonious!” said Tetsuya.

“Everyone had shown their smiles to you because you’re very generous and respectful to them” said Kōki.

“Which makes everyone feel blessed and inspired” said Tsubomi.

“Especially us who have been able to groom you to make your day the best!” said Akinari.

“Yeah, you got that right! I’m always brave enough to show my smile to everyone and I will make sure that you’re all here to dive with me. Right, guys?” said Momo.

“Yeah!” said Tetsuya, Kōki, Tsubomi, Akinari and the members of the Bravehearts of Minato and the Peach Stella.

“Now, let’s make my birthday party blooming and shining with smiles, everyone!” said Momo.

“Yeah!” said Tetsuya, Kōki, Tsubomi, Akinari and the members of the Bravehearts of Minato and the Peach Stella while celebrating in joy to make Momo happy and uplifted. Momo had been very delighted to see her fellow groupmates from the Bravehearts of Minato coming to her birthday party, which she feels uplifted when they have given the blessings to make her birthday party a success. As a member of the Bravehearts of Minato, Momo will continue to stay generous to her friends on her side, so that she will give them the smile that they need to make themselves determined and motivated.

As the first part of the birthday celebration of Momo Kashiwada had been posted, I will be posting the profile of the Peach Stella, a friend group that is composed of the friends of Momo and one of the mainstream groups of the Bravehearts of Minato. They have groomed Momo’s basketball career, so that she will be able to dazzle herself with her wonderful moves while representing the Hanzōsen Middle School girls’ basketball team. One thing that you find it coincidental is that they have been interested in gemstones, which these were dazzling and prestigious; those two characteristics would fit Momo’s personality of being the Peach-Haired Lass of Minato. They have also bought the necklaces and bracelets that have different gemstones on those. This group is led by Sayuri Moriguchi.

A Special Message from Emma Verde

Hi, everyone! My name is Emma Verde of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and I’m here to share about my friendship with Momo Kashiwada, who had celebrated her birthday in today’s update. Momo had been a determined girl who wanted to make the difference in shining her team, the Hanzōsen Middle School girls’ basketball team, and she had joined the Bravehearts of Minato as one of the first members of that group, which was founded on the first day of spring. She had four siblings, which three are older than her, composed of Tetsuya, Kōki and Tsubomi, while Akinari is the youngest. Momo had a beautiful smile because she had been dazzling her way to step up for Hanzōsen while her prestigious appearance was more beautiful just like me wearing my costume for my song “La Bella Patria”. Anyway, when it’s my first time that I met Momo, which happened on a gathering at the Sunshine Condominium, which is the homeplace of Kōji Hanagata, I was so surprised that she was there because she had been very motivated to represent her group and so, when I talked to her, I learned a lot of things from her including how she became interested in fashion. I was so fascinated that she had a brighter future if she is ambitioned to be a fashion designer and so, I’ll always watch out for her because she’s ready to shine her way with her smile. One thing about Momo is that she is a compassionated girl who had been very calm and expressive to show her smile to her friends on side, especially from her friend group, the Peach Stella. She’s very alluring when she had performed her moves in the court such as the Stella Arc, which is a three-point shot from beyond the arc, and the Planisphere Peach, which is a combined crossover and inside finishing move. She had been coined as the ‘Peach-Haired Lass of Minato’ due to her peach-colored hair and her prestigious appearance when she is representing for the Bravehearts of Minato or the Hanzōsen Middle School girls’ basketball team. My best moment when I gotten along with Momo was the one when she had invited me to a pickup basketball match with Yumi Tsurimi and it was so great that I had finally got a chance to play basketball with her. Even though I learned a few moves in basketball during PE classes before, I was so surprised that I was able to score points and then, did some playmaking moves to allow either Momo or Yumi to score for my team, which we won that match. I’m very flanked by them, especially Momo had praised me with the assist that I allowed her to shoot a three and so, I was so delighted that I had been blessed by her, which I’m very satisfied, of course! You will be amazed when Momo was stepping up like she’s about to shine because she will always do her best to dazzle and score for her team. I’m sure that you’re more thrilled when you saw her earlier in today’s update because she had been blessed by her family and friends on her side as she had been uplifted with her blessings being made and she will be ready to show her pride, courage and willpower to them for sure! Now, as the author said that the first part of this birthday special was posted, there will be a second part of this one, which will be posted on September 22 (Wednesday), which will be 3 days from now, and you’re all excited for this because my group, the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, will be appearing on that update to celebrate Momo’s birthday at her home. I hope that you enjoyed reading this update because in three days, it will be more special because the next update will be dedicated to me and the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. So, get ready to make yourself comfortable and thrilled to see this update as our group will be celebrating the fourth anniversary of our formation this coming September 21 (Tuesday) and that update will be more blooming and more shining to read for sure! Until then, I will see you on the next update and keep yourself complimented and thrilled through your smile, everyone!

- Emma Verde (CV. Maria Sashide)​

Momo had been very delighted that she had the best day of her life when she had celebrated her birthday in front of her family and her friends from the Bravehearts of Minato and the Peach Stella at her home in Kōnan. She had been blessed by her friends that she had on her side as she had been dazzling her way to make sure that she’s very compassionate to be with them. She’s always generous when she had represented for the Bravehearts of Minato through her passion and thrill and so, she will be motivated to make her friends feel comfortable and uplifted. Hopefully, she will continue to represent for her friends on her side, especially that she had been part of the Bravehearts of Minato as she’s ready to stay dazzling and shining to give everyone a smile for sure!;) This is the first time that I had posted a character birthday update in Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts since the birthday of Sarasa Ryuō (Chapters 139 and 140) two years ago and I’m very satisfied to post this because I want to have something special for a member of the Bravehearts of Minato that is more generous and more compassionated to make her friends feel comfortable and uplifted just like Shinako Takanashi, Hinako Ōsaka and Azusa Uehara and so, I picked Momo Kashiwada to be featured in this update because not only her birthday is on May 7, but she’s very passionate to show her pride, courage and willpower to everyone including her fellow members from that braveheart group. I would be grateful if Momo is very compassionated just like Setsuna Yūki of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club because it fits her personality to be dazzling and prestigious while representing the Bravehearts of Minato. That’s why I want Momo to be expressive and determined while fitting her nickname ‘The Peach-Haired Lass of Minato’ because she’s very generous to her friends on her side while representing for the Bravehearts of Minato and helping her community to shine through her thrilling ways. I’m sure that you liked girls that are compassionated and expressive because they like to be determined to show that she can bless and inspire everyone.:) Hopefully, it will be amazing for Momo to show her smile to everyone on her side, so that they will be thrilled to bless and inspire her for sure!;) Now, we’re almost there for the fourth anniversary of the formation of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, which means that the next update will be dedicated to them.

[Sherwin Riga]

Hi, everyone!:) The problem that I encountered last week was fixed ‘for now’ as my technician had brought a medium-size desktop monitor for my other computer, which I might gonna temporarily use it until I finally got a chance to replace that with the new one probably by next month. However, it will be amazing if I can get some budget to buy a new one at the earliest, so that I don’t want to worry about this anymore. For now, I will use the medium-sized desktop monitor for my other computer until the time has come to buy a new one for sure!:) On the other hand, the view counts aren't looked great once again despite this is only just the beginning of that special character birthday update.:( So, for those who haven't read the previous update, I recommend doing so before or after reading tonight's update because that update is the prequel to the new update that I will be posting right now.:) Anyway, I hope that you’re all here to gleam and shine for tonight because tonight is a special night and you’re all part of it for sure! But first, there are a lot of birthday celebrants that we should celebrate and so, it’s time to head into the birthday corner!:) Yesterday (September 21) was the birthday of Ruby Kurosawa of Aqours from Love Live! Sunshine!! Ruby is a first year high school student from the Uranohoshi Girls’ High School, the best friend of Hanamaru Kunikida (CV: Kanako Takatsuki) and the younger sister of Dia Kurosawa (CV: Arisa Komiya). Just like Ruby, both Hanamaru and Dia are members of Aqours. Ruby is a fan of idols and had claimed to be an idol lover ever since she was born and had dreamt of becoming an idol, which she ended up joining Aqours. She had androphobia (a fear of men), as she had never talked anyone male outside of her own father. In the anime, her shyness had been increased so she entered in panic when she had been touched by anyone she had not used to regardless of sex, being only comfortable around Dia and Hanamaru at the start of the anime. Her hobbies are clothes and sewing, her specialty is choosing costumes, her favorite foods are French fries and sweet potatoes, and her disliked food is wasabi. Ruby’s catchphrase is “Ganbaruby!”, which is officially translated as “Do your Rubesty!” Ruby is considered my favorite characters of Love Live! Sunshine!! alongside her sister Dia because she’s very cute and admired when she stepped up and performed for Aqours. Despite she is a crybaby, timid and clumsy, Ruby always like to smile to her fellow groupmates from Aqours as she felt thrilled whenever they have gotten along with each other. She had sympathized with Leah Kazuno (CV: Hinata Satō), the younger sister of Saint Snow’s Sarah Kazuno (CV: Asami Tano), thus becoming friends during the second season. Aside from being a member of Aqours, Ruby is a member of the sub-group unit CYaRon!, composed of her, Chika Takami (CV: Anju Inami) and Yō Watanabe (CV: Shuka Saitō). Ruby is voiced by Ai Furihata, who is also my favorite seiyu for Aqours alongside Chika Takami, Rikako Aida and Arisa Komiya. Belated happy birthday, Ruby!:) And before you’ll read this update, this one will be dedicated to Yūma Uchida and Sayuri Yahagi. Both Yūma and Sayuri were born in Tokyo and their birthdays were ahead with each other with the former celebrated his birthday yesterday (September 21) while the latter is currently celebrating her birthday tonight (September 22). Yūma is a voice and singer as he had performed anime songs ever since he started his music career three years ago. Yūma is famously known as the voice actor of Kaoru Sakuraba of THE IDOLM@STER SideM, representing Dramatic Stars, which he is one of the three voice actors that led that series alongside Shugo Nakamura (the voice actor of Teru Tendō) and Taku Yashiro (the voice actor of Tsubasa Kashiwagi). Aside from that, he had voiced various male characters in different anime releases such as Yūma Kōsaka (Gundam Build Fighters Try), Nagisa Kiryū (Classroom Crisis), Eishirō Yabuki (The Asterisk War), Hayate Immelmann (Macross Delta), Ein Dalton (Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans), Iori Kitahara (Grand Blue), Ash Lynx (Banana Fish), Yū Suzuno (King of Prism), Eiji Otori (Uta no Prince-sama), Yūma Kunimi (Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai), Taiyō ‘Sun-chan’ Ōga (Oresuki), Kōshū Okumura (Ace of Diamond), Yasuku Edogai (Golden Kamuy), Ritsuka Uenoyama (Given), Jun Sazanami (Ensemble Stars!), Hatori Ōtani (Stand My Heroes: Piece of Truth), Miguno (Beastars), Be Kawahara (Uchitama?! Have you seen my Tama?), Shinya Yukimura (Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It), Kyo Sōma (Fruits Basket), Megumi Fushiguro (Jujutsu Kaisen), Sang Man-deok (The God of High School), Ramune (Dr. Ramune Mysterious Disease Specialisr), Futami Akabane (I-CHU: Halfway Through the Top), Kensei Maeshima (Skate-Leading Stars), Tatsuya Hoigoshi (Burning Kabaddi) and Oniijya (SSSS.Dynazenon). He is also the brother of Maaya Uchida, also a voice actress and singer. On the other hand, Sayuri is the voice actress of Haruna Seirenji (To Love-Ru), Suzu Hagumura (Seitokai Yakuindomo), Michiru Hyodo (Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend), Karin Maaka (Chibi Vampire), Izumi Segawa (Hayate the Combat Butler), Tonko Oniyama (Rosario + Vampire), Kaya Miyoshi (Bakuman), Kodama Himegami (Maken-Ki!), Akechi Mitsuhide (The Ambition of Oda Nobuna), Sakuya (Sword Art Online), Manami Okuda (Assassination Classroom), Kei Higuchi (Keijo), Maho Hiyajo (Steins;Gate 0), Amane Katagiri (Senryu Girl) and Momoka Momozono (Super HxEros). Hopefully, both Yūma and Sayuri will continue making progress of their voice acting career, especially to Yūma, who had been fascinated by his fans as he had worked hard in being a voice actor and singer all by himself!;) Belated happy birthday, Yūma, happy birthday, Sayuri!:) Now, I have posted the previous update, which is focused on the birthday of Momo Kashiwada of the Bravehearts of Minato, but things are going to be more thrilling because tonight’s update will not only be joined by her and her friends from the Bravehearts of Minato and the Peach Stella, but it will be joined by the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. So, get ready because this update will be more of a special one for NijiGaku, who had recently celebrated its fourth anniversary of their formation, as here comes tonight’s update!:)

The birthday party of Momo Kashiwada, a member of the Bravehearts of Minato, had been blooming and harmonious with everyone including the Bravehearts of Minato and the Peach Stella have enjoyed their night while giving Momo a happy birthday. Of course, the party is not over yet because tonight’s update will be very special as the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club will be coming to the home of Momo to attend Momo’s birthday party. In this update, you will witness the fun and thrill where Momo, her friends from the Bravehearts of Minato and the Peach Stella and the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club are going to get along with each other as they will be sharing about the special circle groups that is traditionally made in Minato and its neighboring areas. You will see what these kinds of groups would be like, how it started and how it became more influenced through the neighboring areas surrounding Minato. I hope that you’re all motivated for this because this update is so special that I want to dedicate this to the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, who had celebrated its fourth anniversary of their formation yesterday (September 21). Originally known as the Perfect Dream Project, NijiGaku was formed in 2017 as part of the mobile game Love Live! School Idol Festival All Stars (released on September 26, 2019, which was nearly two years ago), the spin-off game of Love Live! School Idol Festival. They have released their first album nearly three years ago with the title “TOKIMEKI Runners”, followed by the next two albums “Love U my friends” (2019) and “Just Believe!” (2020), and have appeared in the anime Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, which was released last year for its first season. The second season of NijiGaku is currently in development. The leader of NijiGaku is Ayumu Uehara (CV: Aguri Ōnishi). NijiGaku is my second favorite school idol group of Love Live! School Idol Project series after Aqours because I was fascinated by their appearance whenever they are wearing school uniforms, casual clothes or idol costumes as most of them are very beautiful and cute, especially Shizuku Ōsaka (CV: Kaori Maeda), my most favorite character of that group. I’m feeling thrilled when I have listened to their songs as well as their dramas, which I loved the way they have voiced themselves through their hearts to make sure that they will shine together just like µ’s, Aqours and Liella! did! Hopefully, I will keep following them because they have shined their way with their smiles, which I’m very thrilled to see them for sure!;) Belated Happy Fourth Founding Anniversary, NijiGaku!:) Now, get ready to dive and shine with Momo, the Bravehearts of Minato, the Peach Stella and the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club because here comes the 75th side chapter of the Red Section Series with the title, “One Diving Night to Shine for the Peach-Haired Lass of Minato!”!

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES”
CHAPTER 75: “ONE DIVING NIGHT TO SHINE FOR THE PEACH-HAIRED LASS OF MINATO!”​

Date: May 7, 2010 (Friday)

This side chapter is focused on the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club as they will be going to the Kashiwada Residence in Shibaura to attend the birthday of Momo Kashiwada, a member of the Bravehearts of Minato. Momo had become friends with the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club because she is a close friend of Shinako and Hinako.

The members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club are walking on their way to Shibaura after finishing their Casual Friday activity at the Takanashi Derby. They will be joined by Chiaki Takanashi, who agreed to be with them temporarily due to her being the cousin of Shinako Takanashi.

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

“Thanks for inviting me to join with you, girls. It was so great that I will be meeting with my cousin Shinako because she’s busy with her friends out there” said Chiaki Takanashi. Chiaki and Shinako were cousins due to Chiaki’s father Akihito and Shinako’s father Yukihiro were brothers. Akihito is also the owner of the Takanashi Derby.

“Yep! She’s currently attending the birthday party of her fellow groupmate from the Bravehearts of Minato, Momo Kashiwada” said Setsuna.

“Momo is currently 13 years old as she’s celebrating her birthday that she will never forget!” said Kasumi.

“That’s why we’re very confident to see her at her home, so that we will give her a ‘Happy Birthday’” said Ayumu.

“She’ll be very delighted to make us welcome to her home because she’s our friend” said Shizuku.

“Yes, I agree, girls! Momo used to be a friend of my cousin Shinako because both girls have been interested in visiting cafes and eating fruit cakes ever since they were little. They have been doing this after their classes were over one at the time where they used to visit some cafes near Odaiba to relax there for a while before heading back home” said Chiaki.

“Interesting. Those two must be fallen in love with coffee and pastries” said Ai.

“I say that they’re good enough to eat there because they want to enjoy themselves first before heading back home” said Karin.

“They have been very close since they have known with each other, which means that they have been good enough to develop their friendship” said Kanata.

“It feels great that your cousin and Momo have been getting along with each other for a midday break after finishing school every day. They’re seemed to be harmonious when they have enjoyed their day out there, which is very nice for them” said Emma.

“I’m sure that Shinako and Momo will continue their vibes of being best friends inside and outside the court since not only they’re part of the varsity team, but as members of the Bravehearts of Minato” said Rina Tennōji.

“I hope that they will continue doing that, so that they’ll be thrilled to enjoy themselves” said Yu.

“Yeah!” said Chiaki while giving the members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club a smile on her face.

“Oh, that reminds me, Chiaki-san, since you’re my classmate in my class, I believe that you’re ready to make yourself thrilled when you’re about to meet the Bravehearts of Minato” said Setsuna.

“That’s where Shinako and Hinako joined that group because they have been very special to assemble their own group” said Shizuku.

“Which is more of a dream group” said Kasumi.

“I hope that you can join that group one day if you want to be with your cousins” said Ayumu.

“Well, I would be glad to, Ayumu-san! I mean, I want to have an opportunity to team up with my cousins because I like the way Shinako led that group when she was making plans to bloom and I always inspire her to make sure that she will do anything to shine Minato” said Chiaki.

“Yes, that’s true, Chiaki-chan! Shinako-chan was a good and compassionated girl to make her friends comfortable and admired because she always like to get along with them, so that she will develop her friendship with them like a flower can bloom” said Ayumu.

“She’s very prestigious to show her smile because she can make everyone happy no matter what when they have worked together as a group” said Kasumi.

“Like her siblings Itsuko and Shinosuke, she is always coming out motivated with her pure heart because she knows that it would be a great day for her to gleam” said Shizuku. Itsuko and Shinnosuke are the older siblings of Shinako and they have studied together with her in Hanzōsen with Itsuko being a third year middle school student of the Hanzōsen Middle School and Shinnosuke being a first year high school student of the Hanzōsen High School.

“She believes that everyone can make dreams to prosper with and one day, it will all be fulfilled if they have done something blooming and shining” said Setsuna.

“Just like us! We used to create dreams for everyone to make ourselves admired and inspired” said Rina Tennōji.

“Our school idol club had been making everyone thrilled when we performed together just like how µ’s and Aqours did” said Emma.

“It feels great to be school idols because we want to inspire everyone to make sure that they’re feeling blissful to make us smile” said Ai.

“School idols have their own goals and ambitions to create with as they want to strive to be famous and of course, we want to follow the examples of being the best with our pure hearts and blissful smiles” said Karin.

“You will be more motivated to see us perform as a school idol group, but of course, we can do anything to make your dreams come true” said Kanata.

“Yeah, I’m feeling grateful that you girls have been doing a great job to make your school idol careers developing without hesitation. I say that I’m always happy to see you making everyone inspired, so that they are going to impress you for sure!” said Chiaki.

“Yes, I agree with your words, Chiaki-san! You’ll always be motivated to see us getting along with each other because this is what we do to show our smiles and make us thrilled to believe. Right, girls?” said Setsuna.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.

“That’s why I want you to join the Bravehearts of Minato, so that you will be thrilled to get along with Shinako and the rest of the group” said Setsuna.

“That way, you’ll be more blissful to shine with them because you’ll be able to help your friends inspire with your dreams” said Kasumi.

“Well, I can’t say ‘no’ to that, but I’ll join!” said Shinako with a smile on her face as she’s officially affirming her intention to join the Bravehearts of Minato.

“Alright!” said the members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.

“I’m so happy that you’re gonna join that braveheart group!” said Emma.

“Which makes Kanata-chan proud to see you ready to believe with them!” said Kanata.

“That’s awesome, Chiaki-san! I can’t wait to see you contributing for that group because we’re here to support you!” said Karin.

“I’m so excited about this! It’s going to be a good night for you because not only you have been with us, but you’ll finally have new friends to get along with!” said Ai.

“You’re finally getting some thrills out there to make yourself comfortable! Rina-chan Board: Smile!” said Rina.

“I’m happy for you, cousin! I’ll be thrilled to see you and my fellow cousins ready to work together at the same time!” said Ayumu.

“It will be amazing that you’re finally ready to shine the community with your new friends out there because you’re feeling comfortable to help them bless and inspire” said Shizuku.

“Yeah, I agree, Shizuku! She will never give up through her pure heart because she’s here to represent not only us, but that new group!” said Kasumi.

“A person with a pure heart means that he or she can make everyone feel comfortable to make friends to anyone” said Yu.

“Yes, that’s true, Yu-san” said Setsuna before speaking to Chiaki. “I hope that you’re ready to step up for them because you got this. You’ll be more generous to dive with your smile. That’s what I do when I’m representing for the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. You’ll get used to it when you’re with your new friends out there and show your compassion for us.”

“Sure, I will, Setsuna-san!” said Chiaki.

“Girls! We’re now reaching Momo’s home!” said Shizuku.

“That’s great, Shizuku! I can’t wait to see what’s going on in this party!” said Yu.

“You’re right about that, Yu-chan! We will surprise Momo-chan when we will meet her. She’s having a great night to enjoy with” said Ayumu.

“Yeah!” said Chiaki and the members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.

Meanwhile, at the Kashiwada Residence, Momo, her siblings and some of her friends are singing karaoke where they have sung anime songs in the living room while the members of the Bravehearts of Minato are chatting with the close friends of Momo. One thing that it’s very interesting is that karaoke is actually the hobby of Momo’s sister Tsubomi.

“Wow! You sang better than I am, Tsubomi-san!” said Yuika Shinoyama.

“Yep! I’m very good in singing with my harmonious voice because I was able to learn everything from my friend of mine named Kumiko Takamatsu” said Tsubomi. Kumiko is the younger sister of Hinata Takamatsu and a third year middle school middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School.

“Ah, I see! I’m just a beginner on signing karaoke, Tsubomi-san. I only learned the lyrics at least” said Yuika.

“Well, singing karaoke isn’t easy to get a high score” said Sayuri Moriguchi.

“You have to be good in learning the lyrics before you will adapt when it’s your time to sing” said Hiroko Kazami.

“That’s why you have to improve your voice if you want to be a superstar one day, cousin, because you have to learn it through your heart” said Kimiko Kanematsu, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and a member of the Peach Stella. She’s also the cousin of Yuika Shinozaki.

“Yeah, I understand. I should have learned a lot if I want to shine my way, but I guess that I have to try my best to do well, so that I will be able to get a high score in karaoke one day” said Yuika.

“That’s good, Yuika! I hope that you can impress me because my sister is doing great to score like that, but I believe that you will have that very soon” said Momo.

“Sure, I’ll do it, Momo-san!” said Yuika.

A few seconds later, someone rang the doorbell, which makes Momo feel excited on who will be coming to her home. “I’m coming!” Momo would open the door and to her surprise, it was revealed to the Chiaki and the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. “Oh, Chiaki and the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club! I’m so surprised that you’re all here!”

“Yeah!” said Chiaki and the members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.

“We came here to say a ‘Happy Birthday’ to you, Momo-san!” said Setsuna.

“We thought that we’re about to head back home after we finished our Casual Friday activity” said Ayumu.

“When we remembered the fact that it’s your birthday” said Shizuku.

“That’s why we want to be with you for one day to make your day blooming!” said Kasumi.

“So that, you’ll be very delighted and generous to have your blessings and inspirations for sure!” said Yu.

“It’s going to be fantastic that you will have more guests to come with us ready to make yourself thrilled!” said Chiaki.

“Yeah, you got that right! Now, please, come inside!” said Momo.

“Okay!” said Chiaki and the members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club as they have entered the Kashiwada Residence to attend the birthday of Momo.

Shinako was surprised that her cousin Chiaki was finally arrived and so, she decided to meet her by waving her hands to say ‘hi’ to her. “Cousin!”

“Shinako-san!” said Chiaki while giving Shinako a smile on her face.

“So, you came here to attend my friend’s birthday party?” queried Shinako.

“Yep! I just finished my part time job at the Takanashi Derby before I decided to bail out to be with my friends from the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club to attend this birthday party. I’m so thrilled that I want to make Momo-san happy because she’s very grateful to celebrate her night” said Chiaki.

“That’s right! I hope that you will be more comfortable to be with us for tonight because Momo had a lot of blessings that she had from her close friends. That’s why you’re gonna be more delighted to make her comfortable for sure!” said Shinako.

“Yeah, I will!” said Chiaki before surprising Shinako by making an announcement. “Oh, by the way, I’m going to join the Bravehearts of Minato, Shinako-san!”

“Oh, wow! You mean it?” surprisingly exclaimed Shinako.

“Yeah! After all, you’re my cousin!” said Chiaki.

“Okay, then! Welcome to my group, Chiaki-san!” said Shinako.

“Thank you very much, Shinako-san!” said Chiaki as she was delighted to join the Bravehearts of Minato.

“WHAT?!” shouted Rina and Junsei.

“Are you kidding me?!” shouted Rina Aonuma.

“You let her join to our group?!” exclaimed Junsei.

“Yep! She’s my cousin and she’s also a friend of Setsuna. So, I don’t want to complain about this, but she wants to be with us because she’s motivated to inspire us” said Shinako.

“Like Mio, Chiaki had been compassioned to support the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club because she admired them by impressing their performance including the solo ones made by their members” said Hinako.

“It will be amazing for her to make big plans to create with, so that she will be able to do anything to make our community bloom” said Ruriko.

“I’m glad that she will be with Mio to work with us since they’re from the Nijigasaki Academy High School and hopefully, they’ll shine with their smiles to show with” said Yasue.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Rina and Junsei.

“I’m feeling happy that we will have another member to join our group, especially that this new member is from the Nijigasaki Academy High School” said Emiri.

“I believe that our group is getting bigger and bigger with those new members ready to step up to represent our hometown” said Sachie.

“Things are about to get blooming when we welcomed those guys and we’re always determined to see them smile to us” said Ayame.

“They’ll do their best to make themselves blessed and inspired” said Yumi.

“Of course, Yumi-san!” said Shinako and Hinako.

“Anyway, girls, would you want to come with me and my friends from NijiGaku?” said Chiaki.

“Oh, sure, Chiaki-san!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Minato.

“I hope that you’re all excited about because you’re about to see a lot of things to gleam and explore with when my friends will be talking about the connecting groups between your group and the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club” said Chiaki.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Minato.

“Now this one will be more blooming to see!” said Shinako.

“I’m very excited about this!” said Hinako.

“Yes, it will!” said Chiaki before giving the members of the Bravehearts of Minato a smile. “Now, let’s go to the living room with my friends and the birthday celebrant!”

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Minato as they will be joining with Chiaki to meet with Momo, her siblings and the members of the Peach Stella, who will be with the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.

“Nice attire, Momo-san! You’re almost looked the same as I have worn right now!” said Setsuna.

“Thanks, Setsuna! Yuika gave this to me because she had a good friend of mine being a fan of you and your school idol group” said Momo.

“Oh, wow! I can’t believe that there’s a fan who admired us!” said Setsuna.

“I can’t imagine to see that coming, Setsuna!” said Kasumi.

“Yep! Her name is Kayoko Shinozaki, who is my older sister” said Yuika.

“The six of us have been admiring your performance with your harmonious voices and blissful smiles” said Ayaka Suzuhara.

“Especially with those PR videos that are really looked good!” said Sae Sakine.

“That’s why we’re always to see you shine to make your fans like us getting motivated to impress you” said Nakako Uekusa.

“So that, you’ll be able to make you and your friends more famous!” said Airi Egami.

“Your smiles will make us feel good after finishing a performance to get it done” said Fuyumi Miyagawa.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.

“It feels great that you girls are admiring my friends out there. They have just reformed their school idol club, so that they want to make everyone start their dreams to create with. I hope that you will be able to keep them thrilled because they’re not gonna give up with their pure hearts as they’re ready to step up and shine themselves” said Yu.

“Yeah!” said Yuika, Ayaka, Sae, Nanako, Airi and Fuyumi.

“I’m very generous when I’m wearing this attire because this makes me so hot and charismatic to show my smile to everyone. I want to be more determined when I’m stepping up for my group, the Bravehearts of Minato, so that I will be able to shine my way and get myself earned for sure” said Momo.

“That’s very nice, Momo-san! I’m feeling happy that you’re showing some determination and smile that you will be able to represent for them” said Setsuna.

“You’re more expressive to them, which means that they have trusted you” said Kasumi.

“And also, your friendship with your friends have been developed once more” said Shizuku.

“I have to say that you have a pure heart to believe yourself, which was very nice for you to represent with, and hopefully, you will be able to fulfill your dreams one day because you have a lot of things to accomplish to make sure that you’re making yourself comfortable to get it done” said Ayumu.

“Yeah, I believe that I can do it for everyone as I’m a very generous girl to make friends because that’s what a braveheart can do to bless and inspire everyone” said Momo.

“That’s my Momo! She’s always ready to make herself determined for us!” said Shinako.

“She had a generous smile to make everyone determined and they’ll be ready to inspire her for sure!” said Hinako.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.

“Anyway, Momo-san, we want you to know if you had some future plans to build with” said Setsuna.

“Everyone can make a dream plan to assemble with before you will execute everything to make it bloom” said Kasumi.

“So, what’s going to be?” asked Yu.

“I will be planning to create my own circle of friends, which will be composed of my friends and the groups that are coming from Shibaura and its neighboring areas that their main color is either magenta or peach. The Peach Stella will be getting more friends, thanks to this, which me and Sayuri have already got a plan on that” said Momo.

“Which will be called the Magic Peach Star” said Sayuri.

“Wow! That one is amazing!” said Kasumi.

“I’m very interested into this!” said Setsuna.

“This makes me thrilled that there’s a dream plan to create with!” said Yu.

“That’s right, girls! I want to be more delighted to get along with not only my friends from the Peach Stella, but my close friends from Shibaura because they know that they have inspired me by supporting my basketball career and they believe that I will be grooming my way to shine for my varsity team. That’s why I want to have my own representation to build this circle of friends, so that we will be able to plan on creating future activities that will shine my hometown” said Momo.

“It sounds like you’re ambitious in making that plan, Momo-san” said Shizuku.

“Yeah, Shinako-chan and Hinako-chan have made their circle of friends before, which means that you’re ready to build your own circle to represent you and your group” said Ayumu.

“Ayumu-san’s right, Momo-san. I’m very grateful when I have created the Rainbow Dream Minato with my close friends out there because I want to be with them to organize future activities that will make everyone’s dreams come true” said Shinako.

“Me too! I also created my own circle of friends known as the Gleaming Droplet” said Hinako.

“Everyone can do his or her circle to give everyone’s blessings and inspirations because they want to be more determined to shine his or her hometown” said Rina Aonuma.

“The extended group system had been trended week after week when one braveheart made his or her own circle of friends, so that they will be able to bless and inspire them through their smiles” said Emiri.

“It will be amazing that you will be ready to get along with them because they’ll be here to represent for you” said Ruriko.

“That way, you will give them something that they want to make them blessed” said Yasue.

“Yeah! I have been motivated that I want to plan on this, but I’m pretty that I will be ready to form this once everyone on my side had agreed to my idea. So, I will be planning to form this by next week, so that everyone will be delighted to get along with me at any future activity that we will be creating with one day” said Momo.

“Well, you’re very exhilarated right now that you had that plan to prepare one day” said Karin.

“I believe that you will be ready to make your friends ready to step up for you” said Emma.

“So that, they will be able to do whatever it takes to earn themselves through their smiles” said Kanata.

“I will be motivated that you’re gonna make this as soon as you’re ready to make yourself comfortable to be with them when you’re gonna execute a lot of plans to make it blooming” said Ai.

“The more your friends getting motivated to support you, the better that you will make them feel generous and delighted by giving them what they want” said Rina Tennōji.

“Yes, of course! Ever since I had joined the Bravehearts of Minato, I started to make new friends and allies, so that they will be able to motivate me at any point that I want to accomplish with. I’ll keep my smiles for myself to be generous. That way, you’ll expect to see me admired when they want to do it for me” said Momo.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Minato, the Peach Stella and the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.

“I’m sure that you’re gonna start planning on this because this would be fantastic to make you and your friends on your side ready to run together for your hometown. It will be amazing to see you showing some pride and courage to them” said Setsuna.

“You’ll always be confident to make them happy because you’ll always be a braveheart for sure!” said Kasumi.

“Yeah, I agree, Kasumi! There’s no way I will lose them because I’m always generous!” said Momo.

“You’re right about that!” said Kasumi.

“Of course!” said Setsuna.

“I believe that you will be ready to make new friends when you’re building your own circle of friends that you will be forming with, Momo-san” said Kōji.

“Your close friends will be thrilled to be with you once your circle of friends will be formed one day” said Reina.

“It will be amazing that you will have this, so that you and your close friends will be ready to organize future activities to be made for your hometown” said Motoyuki.

“Yeah, I hope so. That’s why I decided to invite my close friends out there to celebrate with me” said Momo as she points to her close friends from Shibaura, which is mostly from her neighborhood.

“Ah, I see! So, you invite them, so that you will have them being part of your circle of friends?” said Kōji.

“Yep!” said Momo.

“That’s good! I guess that the extended group system will continue to bloom with another braveheart going to have her own circle of friends” said Kōji.

“It will be amazing that we will have more allies to get along with to represent for one of our members” said Reina.

“That would be more awesome to make them blessed and inspired” said Motoyuki.

“Of course, guys! I’ll make sure that they will be ready to gleam and shine with me because I’m destined to develop my friendship with them through my generosity and compassion” said Momo.

“Yeah!” said Kōji, Reina and Motoyuki.

“If I remember correctly, each member of the Bravehearts of Minato had its own significant close relationship with one another” said Hiroko.

“They have their own bonds of friendship by any means, which means that they can build their own partnership groups that will make them motivate” said Toshimi Kurose.

“Momo had been friends with Rina and Junsei, which means that they have their own circle to represent with” said Miyako Izumiya.

“Not only us, but some of their friends from the Shibaura Lily Smile and the Garnet Revolution such as Fumiko Iwatsuki, Kyōka Takeshita and Kazuma Aonuma” said Akane Morishita.

“It makes that circle very oriented in making their own dreams just like the other connected groups that have been made, which means that they can develop their friendship further way” said Hina Shiokoshi.

“That’s right, girls. Momo, Rina and Junsei have formed their own circle to represent themselves for their close friendship between them known as the Twilight Smile” said Sayuri.

“Yep! I made that group, so that they want to represent for me, Rina and Junsei to make sure that they will be confident to get along with us” said Momo.

“With that group, we used to get along with each other twice a week, so that they will be able to get thrilled when we have some fantastic side activities to do after school” said Rina Aonuma.

“So far, we have at least 30 members being part of it with most of them are associated to Rina and Momo” said Junsei.

“However, we’re still open for new invites to join our circle, so that they will be part of us” said Momo.

“For now, we will continue our own ways to shine for our community because we’re always determined to stick together as one special circle” said Rina Aonuma.

“Oh, wow! You had a circle that you have made, guys! I never expect to see that one!” said Yu.

“Yes, it is, Yu! The three of us are good in assembling their own special circle that is different from the circle of friends that we’re proposing. Our friends from that circle are very special to us, which is why we want them to have a close friendship with us” said Momo.

“In the Twilight Smile, we want to make the difference to represent our own way to shine, which means that we can do whatever it takes to have a good friendship” said Rina Aonuma.

“We can make them shine to show their pride and willpower for that group and hopefully, we will be ready to get along with each other for sure!” said Junsei.

“That’s good! I like that one!” said Yu.

“Thank you, Yu!” said Rina, Momo and Junsei.

“Momo-chan, that group was very nice because you run that place together. It reminds me of allowing my relatives to join that group since you put magenta as one of the official colors, which magenta is my hair color” said Rina Tennōji.

“Oh, I didn’t know that you had some cousins out there, Rina!” said Momo.

“They’re seemed to be interested in joining our circle” said Rina Aonuma.

“That way, they will be able to get thrilled to participate in our side activities” said Junsei.

“Yep! I want my relatives to make more friends by having a good friendship with the three of you, so that they will be very happy to bless and inspire you” said Rina Tennōji. While her paternal side is the Tennōji family through her father Keizō Tennōji, her maternal side is the Hanada family through her mother Iori Hanada.

“That’s interesting. I wonder who will be joining, Rina” said Momo.

“So that, we can invite them to join our circle” said Rina Aonuma.

“They are Hinana Tennōji, Yūko Tennōji, Keita Tennōji, Riko Hanada and Shūgo Futami” said Rina Tennōji. Keita, Riko and Shūgo are middle school students from the Daiba Gakuen Middle School while Hinana and Yūko are middle school students from the Nijigasaki Academy Middle School.

“Ah, okay. I’m gonna ask them about this, Rina” said Momo.

“That way, they will be ready to join our circle at any time that they want” said Rina Aonuma.

“Sure! I hope that my relatives will be happy to join that circle because they’re very determined to make new friends” said Rina Tennōji.

“Yeah, they’ll be ready to get along with us when they finally accept their invitation to join our circle” said Momo.

“You’ll be delighted if you can support us to make our basketball careers, so that you’ll make us thrilled!” said Rina Aonuma.

“Everyone has the thrills to make us feel good!” said Junsei.

“Sure, I will! Rina-chan Board: Wink!” said Rina Tennōji.

“That’s very nice you three! I’m so happy to see you allowing Rina’s relatives to be part of your circle, which makes me feel happy that you will have more friends to get along with!” said Kasumi.

“I’m so glad that you finally had an agreement with Rina-san because she used to be shy while hiding her face, but she feels confident that she had us when she took part of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club” said Setsuna.

“Rina had made us friends because she believed that she wanted to be with us by working together as school idols. Also, she can finally express her feelings and emotions by using her Rina-chan Board that I made” said Ai.

“Of course, Ai-san! I can make myself thrilled with my board and so, I’ll be delighted to make faces at any time I want” said Rina Tennōji.

“I agree, Rina! You should be more confident when you can express any feeling or emotion to make sure that you’re a compassionate school idol” said Ai.

“Yeah, that’s true, Ai-san! Rina-san Board: Approve!” said Rina Tennōji.

Part 2 will be on the next post.

Part 2​

“I wonder what the special circle groups would be like” said Tatsuya Ikemoto, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and a member of the Peach Stella.

“Yeah, I want to see those to know what it could be like and how does it work out” said Tomokazu Hirasawa, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and a member of the Peach Stella.

“So that, we will finally learn how it works out” said Kenji Hiratsuka, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and a member of the Peach Stella.

“Well, you guys are excited about this after I revealed it earlier. I hope that you’re ready for this because we’re gonna explain this right now” said Momo.

“Okay!” said the members of the Peach Stella.

“Momo-chan, I will go first because I have known all about this” said Ayumu.

“Sure thing, Ayumu! You can explain it whatever you want” said Momo.

“Okay!” said Ayumu while giving Momo a smile on her face before going to explain about the special circle groups, which is a type of community groups that was traditionally made in Minato and Kōtō. “The special circle groups are the community groups that their members have a history of their friendship for a long time because they have known with each other since their childhood days.”

“These guys are very different than the other kinds of community groups because they have a special bond of friendship that made me feel thrilled when they’re getting along with each other” said Shizuku.

“This one was exclusive to Minato and Kōtō, but it was also applied to its neighboring areas such as Shibuya and the western part of Chiba” said Kasumi.

“Where some of them are supportive to us or Liella! or being associated to any braveheart that has a compassionated heart to bless and inspire them” said Setsuna.

“A lot of young people said that they have been closed with their childhood friends, especially those that are dreamt of making a good circle of friends for everyone” said Yu.

“Unlike the extended group system, the special circle group system is composed of some members of different braveheart groups and their associates that are very close to them” said Ai.

“As a result, these groups started to work together as a group through their pure hearts and blissful smiles” said Rina Tennōji.

“Especially that they have been compassionated to gain respect with each other” said Kanata.

“Everyone can make friends like us because they know how to get close with each other” said Emma.

“Either you became friends with them since your childhood days or acquaintances, but still wanting to develop a friendship to make sure that they’ll become friends with you” said Karin.

“That’s why this type of community groups can bring special moments with their hopes and dreams, so that they will be able to thrill themselves” said Yu.

“And to develop a great friendship between them” said Ayumu.

“It’s so amazing that this system had been growing because they have their own responsibilities to make themselves close with each other” said Shizuku.

“So that, they will do whatever it takes to have a great friendship between them” said Kasumi.

“For example, in our school idol club, we have our own special friendship that we made with Ayumu and Shizuku, me and Kasumi, Ai and Rina and Karin, Kanata and Emma” said Setsuna.

“Yu was also a friend of Ayumu, which is why she always used to get along with her while they’re in the same class” said Emma.

“Of course, Yu is a friend to everyone and she can do whatever she wants to make Kanata-chan and the rest of our school idol club thrilled” said Kanata.

“Everyone can make friends without hesitation because that’s what they do to make a good friendship to develop” said Karin.

“When one friendship gets developed for a long time, they finally bloom themselves to the next level” said Ai.

“As a result, we created the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club with the purpose to inspire everyone by start making dreams to create with” said Rina Tennōji.

“Oh, I see that point right now” said Tatsuya.

“I can’t believe that you guys have formed that group, so that they have their own goal to make everyone give some thrills” said Tomokazu.

“It’s so amazing that you have that coming!” said Kenji.

“That way, everyone will be admiring you with the smiles that they want” said Yūta Nakazawa, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and a member of the Peach Stella.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.

“You’re right about that! As a result, those that are very close to us have started to create their own special circle groups” said Yu.

“Starting with the Dream Pink and Aqua Group” said Ayumu.

“Where my cousin Hinako and Ayumu’s cousins, composed of Shinako, Maika and Azusa, are belonged to that group” said Shizuku.

“Before it was followed by their close friends in the Bravehearts of Minato such as Ruriko Hosoda, Yasue Ichikawa, Naoki Sunama, Kōsuke Higashide, Toshikazu Aramaki, Sae Sekine, Nanako Uekusa, Fuyumi Miyagawa, Akihisa Sōma and Shōhei Mizunuma” said Ayumu.

“Another one is the Braveheart Thrill, which was created by Mio Kayama,
Shun Ōsaka, Kumiko Mizusawa and Seijirō Iwami where they have represented themselves as people who were closed to me and Ayumu by supporting our school idol careers” said Shizuku.

“That’s right, Shizuku-chan! Both groups became very special since they have come from the Bravehearts of Minato and they have worked together at the same time” said Ayumu.

“It feels great that we’re proud of them and hopefully, they will keep this up. Isn’t that right, guys?” said Shizuku.

“Yeah!” said Shinako, Maika, Azusa, Hinako, Ruriko, Yasue, Naoki, Kōsuke, Toshikazu, Sae, Nanako, Fuyumi, Akihisa and Shōhei.

“We have worked together because we want to have a good and beautiful friendship with each other” said Shinako.

“So that, we will be able to make ourselves thrilled to have fun with fantastic activities that we have made!” said Hinako.

“It was so amazing to make this group running because we have our own special way to make ourselves thrilled” said Ruriko.

“Hopefully, we will continue running our own side activities, so that we’ll keep our friendship getting developed for sure!” said Yasue.

“Yeah!” said Ayumu and Shizuku.

“I’m not surprised that you guys have been very close with each other since you have been able to get along with each other for most of the time” said Tatsuya.

“It seems that your friendship had been doing great since you were all part of the Bravehearts of Minato” said Tomokazu.

“Which means that you have been bloomed enough to keep your special friendship alive” said Kenji.

“That way, you’re all thrilled to enjoy your activities, which everyone will be always smiling that you have worked together a special circle” said Yūta.

“Yeah, we will!” said Shinako, Maika, Azusa, Hinako, Ruriko, Yasue, Naoki, Kōsuke, Toshikazu, Sae, Nanako, Fuyumi, Akihisa and Shōhei.

“I don’t know what’s the difference between the special circle groups that have been close to Ayumu and Shizuku, Mio-san” said Toshiko Kawakita, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and a member of the Peach Stella.

“It would be amazing you’re gonna explain them all” said Shigeyoshi Nakane, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and a member of the Peach Stella.

“Well, you’re looking at the right person to explain, Toshiko-san, because I will explain about this right now” said Mio Kayama, a second year high school student from the Nijigasaki Academy High School and the cousin of Ayumu Uehara.

“Okay!” said Toshiko and Shigeyoshi.

“The special circle groups that have been close to Ayumu and Shizuku are more special than the other community groups in other areas of Minato because these groups have the thrills to make Minato blooming with hopes and dreams to create with” said Mio.

“They have one common goal to keep remembering them if they want to make the community growing: enlightenment. They know how to indulge themselves with their allies, so that they will be able to get close with them. A lot of us have been able to follow that goal when we met our allies in most areas in Minato, especially in Aomi and Toyosu” said Azusa.

“These groups have been created when the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club was revived last month with their members trying to make success in their school idol careers and try to work together as a school idol group” said Maika.

“As a result, groups like the Dream Pink and Aqua Group, the Braveheart Thrill, the Thrilling Tear, the Gleaming Rose, the Aomi Dream Section and the Daiba Smile have started to follow the examples of NijiGaku by showing their pride, compassion and thrill to everyone, so that they will inspire them through their bright ideas and heartened dreams” said Chiaki.

“Not only for that, but those special circle groups that have been close to the other members of NijiGaku would do the same thing, thanks to most of us” said Ruriko.

“For example, when Yuika had joined the Bravehearts of Minato, she had some help from Setsuna to form her own circle group known as the Burning Hydrangea. That group is composed of her, Ayaka Suzuhara, Airi Egami, Masahide Yajima, Junya Naganuma and Natsuhiko Hataoka” said Yasue.

“That group had been fierier that they follow the examples of Setsuna and that’s why they became more confident in making their basketball careers ready to skyrocket one day” said Naoki Sunama, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Minato.

“Another one is the Yellow Smile, which is led by Kirara Nakano, a first year high school student from the Hanzōsen High School” said Kōsuke Higashide, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Minato.

“She had created that group and they have used to get along with Kasumi as they have lived in the same hometown in Toyosu” said Toshikazu Aramaki, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Hanzōsen Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Minato.

“That’s why everyone can build their own dreams by making those special groups, so that they will be able to work together to develop their friendship for more” said Sae.

“You can expect a lot of good things when you see those groups because they have found a compact relationship that never lost” said Nanako.

“Hopefully, they will continue to inspire everyone, so that they will be able to make them delighted and thrilled to be with them through their compassionated hearts” said Fuyumi.

“Ah, that’s fascinating! I can’t believe that they’re very friendly to anyone on their side, which makes them delighted and thrilled to have some fun with them” said Toshiko.

“I say that this is going to be fantastic for them to make this community more dreaming and developing with hopes and dreams as they want to make them more committed in earning themselves” said Shigeyoshi.

“Yes, they do!” said Mio and Maika while Shinako, Hinako, Chiaki, Azusa, Ruriko, Yasue, Naoki, Kōsuke, Toshikazu, Sae, Nanako, Fuyumi, Akihisa and Shōhei nod their heads in agreement altogether.

“Well, I’m thrilled that these groups are so special to make themselves thrilled in getting the job done” said Kimiko.

“They will be able to shine themselves with blissful hearts and compassionated smiles” said Kaoruko Muranaka, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and a member of the Peach Stella.

“And that’s why everyone is always ready for thrills to represent themselves, so that they are going to make the community more blooming and harmonious” said Atsushi Kitajima, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and a member of the Peach Stella.

“You’re right about that, guys! How more fantastic about this is that these groups can collaborate with each other if they want to make the community getting more attention to step up and shine” said Chiaki.

“That way, they will be ready to make the difference in committing themselves to make everyone happy in making their dreams come true” said Mio.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Toshiko, Shigeyoshi, Kaoruko, Atsushi and Kimiko.

“Each of us have their own bonds of friendship, which leads to the creation of the unique circle groups for the Bravehearts of Minato” said Shinako.

“Such as me and Shinako for the Dream Pink and Aqua Group” said Hinako.

“Me and Yasue…” said Ruriko

“…for the Flower Monochrome, which is part of the Dream Pink and Aqua Group” said Yasue.

“The three of us…” said Momo.

“…me, Momo and Junsei…” said Rina Aonuma.

“…for the Twilight Smile” said Junsei.

“Me and Yumi…” said Emiri.

“…for the Turquoise Bullet” said Yumi.

“Me, Ayame, Jirō and Naoki…” said Sachie.

“…for the Warm Raylight” said Ayame.

“Me, Sayaka and Natsuko…” said Moeko.

“…for the Bright Wave” said Sayaka and Natsuko.

“Me, Ayaka and Airi…” said Yuika.

“A new school idol group that was formed in the recently-opened Yuigaoka Girls’ High School” said Ai. The Yuigoaka Girls' High School is a private high school located in Harajuku, Shibuya and the set-up place for the anime Love Live! Superstar!!

“And they’re composed of Kanon Shibuya, Keke Tang, Chisato Arashi, Sumire Heanna and Ren Hazuki” said Emma.

“They have been very supportive to Kenichirō Ōmiya, the leader of the Bravehearts of Shibuya, and they were more ambitious in making their friends feel comfortable” said Chiaki.

“Yeah! Her fellow groupmates have been energized when Momoka made some fantastic activities to make sure that they will be ready to work together as a team” said Hinako.

“We believe that her ambivalent personality was making her friends feel better and comfortable because she had already inspired them before they formed the Bravehearts of Shibuya together” said Emiri.

“And on top of that, she and her friends are very compassionate to make Shibuya shining with their own representation” said Ruriko.

“They’re here to make everyone happy and so, they will be ready to show their pride and willpower to them” said Yasue.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the members of the Peach Stella.

“You know, guys, I have met a good friend of mine who was also building a special circle group” said Momo.

“Her name is Tae Morishima, a member of Bravehearts of Kōtō and a close friend of Kotoko Hachiuma. She had a group known as Lantern Ascendant with Mariko Umezawa, Akari Sugimoto and Hideki Yamaguchi” said Momo.

“Tae, Mariko and Hideki are first year middle school students the Fukagawa Academy Elementary School while Akari is a sixth grade elementary school student from the Fukagawa Academy Elementary School” said Junsei.

“Not only for that they have recruited their siblings such as Shu Morishima (the brother of Tae), Yūji Umezawa (the brother of Mariko) and Himeko Yamaguchi (the sister of Hideki)” said Rina Aonuma.

“So that, we will collaborate with them for fun and excitement!” said Michihiro.

“Sure, we would be glad to!” said Rina, Momo, Junsei, Naoki and Kazuma.

“I believe that we can allow some members from different braveheart groups near to us every weekend” said Kōji.

“Which means that we will allow them to collaborate with anyone from our group to make a good bond of friendship for ourselves” said Reina.

“That was part of the tradition for the braveheart groups to do so for the longest because they have the ability to make friends with them” said Motoyuki.

“They will do whatever it takes to create partnerships with them and we can develop them to become close allies to them” said Yūjirō.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the members of the Peach Stella.

“We have a lot of allies that are coming from not only in our hometown, but in our neighboring areas” said Suzuka.

“If you look at this map, you will see that these shaded colors were corresponded by whoever one of our members had made friends in one area to another” said Nozomu.

“For example, some of Kōji’s friends are from Toshima and Shinjuku, especially in Ikebukuro, whose had been allied with him due to Kaito Miyazaki, the leader of the Bravehearts of Toshima” said Satsuki.

“Another one is that Reina had become friends with those from Azabu, especially to her rivals Nagisa Gotō and Komachi Kanazawa” said Naoya.

“That’s why these are very special because not only they became close with each other…” said Kōji.

A Post-Chapter Postscript Message from Setsuna Yūki

Hi, everyone! This is Setsuna Yūki of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and it’s been a great pleasure to thank everyone for reading this wonderful update where me and my fellow club members have met the birthday girl Momo Kashiwada on her birthday party at her home. It’s so nice that we have been Momo being a compassionated and generous girl because it’s her birthday as she had been happy and uplifted with her blessings. Of course, it’s her special day that you will never miss and you’re all part of it! Now, I will be talking about her connection circle where she had been friends with not only from her group, the Peach Stella, but to her allies that she befriended with. If you don’t know about the connection circle, I will explain it right now. The connection circle is a special group that is composed of friend groups and allies that have been closed to any member of the Bravehearts of Minato and how they have developed their relationship with them. For Momo, she had her own friend group known as the Peach Stella, which is led by Sayuri Moriguchi, and her relationship with them had been blooming because Momo had been very determined to get along with them when they have a great time to hang out after school. I’m very surprised when Momo had gotten along with her friends from her friend group as she was able to give them some smiles that they cherished with and I like the way they have worked their friendship with her, especially when they were blessed by her during her birthday party. I will be very confident if she will make Sayuri and her friends more thrilled with fantastic activities to develop their friendship for more, but I hope that it’s going to be awesome to see those at any time! Now, when it comes to her allies, Momo had been friends with the Magenta Cosmos, led by my classmate Rika Yoshimatsu, because Rika had been fascinated to see Momo dazzling in the court with her moves and so, she began to admire her by giving her a smile. This leads to the other friends of Rika following suit to impress and admire Momo and so, their friend with Momo had been started where Momo had invited them to her house every month for a group dinner. It’s so nice that Momo had been blessed by my classmate because she’s so compassionate to give them their blessings and I’m very happy for that. Rika said that Momo had been very prestigious when she came out to represent for the Bravehearts of Minato and she believes that she’ll have her brighter future that she will have once she’s shining her way as a basketball player. I’m sure that she will be happy to get along with you if you need her to be compassionate and comfortable and so, you will be thrilled to be with her when she is with her friends during free time for sure! I hope that you enjoyed reading this update and it’s so nice that the author had to dedicate this to my school idol group, the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, because yesterday (September 21) was the fourth anniversary of the formation of our group. It was a special day for us because we wanted to shine our way with our smiles, so that our fans will be able to admire us with their smiles, so that we’re all thrilled to make them delighted. Of course, the author was so lucky that he always makes thrills for us by posting updates related to us! Hopefully, he will be able to continue working on updates that will feature us in the future, so that we’re all thrilled to give him a smile! Anyway, it’s an honor to thank everyone for reading this wonderful update and I hope that you’ll continue making us shine and smile because me and my fellow club members will always be here to cheer for you! Once again, belated happy Fourth Founding Anniversary to our school idol group and until then, I’ll see you next time and keep us shine and smile, everyone!

- Setsuna Yūki (CV. Tomori Kusunoki)​

The birthday celebration of Momo Kashiwada had been more of a thrilling night for everyone on her side including the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club as Momo had been blessed by them due to the development of her friendship with them ever since she had joined the Bravehearts of Minato. Of course, when Momo had explained about her future with her plans of building her own circle of friends, she is very generous that she can do it to make her sure that she will be more blessed by her friends and allies when they’ll collaborate together for future activities to come. On the other hand, she had always been expressive to her close friends Rina Aonuma and Junsei Fukuhara due to them having their own group known as the Twilight Smile, which means that they have continued developed their friendship with each other, especially when they have invited their allies to come along with as well as inviting Rina Tennōji’s cousins to join that group, which improves their relationship with her. It’s so awesome that Momo had been compassionated to show her generous smile and uplifted thrill to everyone and so, she will be more amazed and flanked by her friends on her side, so that she will be delighted to give them the blessings for sure!;) I’m so thrilled that Momo had been blessed because of her birthday and hopefully, she will keep her pride and courage to everyone while representing the Bravehearts of Minato as she’ll continue to shine her way through her prestigious thrill!:) As for the sharing about the special circle groups, which was shared by the members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, I’m very fascinated about this because I want to extend the connection of the Bravehearts of Minato by creating those type of special groups because they have their own way to connect with each other through representation in their hometowns, especially that the members of NijiGaku have their own connections as well! Since then, Minato is one of the wards in Tokyo that they have been using a special way to develop more friendship with their allies and they’ll definitely love to thrill with them through smiles and joys. Of course, there are a lot of thrills to make one’s friendship being bloomed and they will be able to work together to make their dreams come true!;) Hopefully, this special circle group system will continue to flourish, so that they will be able to give more thrills and blessings that they have developed their friendship one way to another!:) It’s so nice that I have posted this update dedicated to the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club as they have continued to work together since its formation through different contents like the mobile game Love Live! School Idol Festival All Stars and the anime adaption of Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. NijiGaku had been my second favorite school idol group behind Aqours, but I liked the way they have performed due to their prestigiousness and admiration that their thrills being made to make their fans fascinating them. As a NijiGaku fan, I’m very motivated for them because not only that they’re cuter and more gleeful, but they’re always determined to shine together to create better hopes and dreams to everyone! Hopefully, I will keep watching out for them because they’re here to cheer for you and start your dreams to create your future for sure!;) Once again, belated Fourth Founding Anniversary, NijiGaku!:)

Now, I have some good news!:) The good news is that the Red Section Series will be reaching 100 side chapters with new drafts being made! I wanted to keep writing new drafts of the Red Section Series after I originally wanted to end it, but due to the rising cases of COVID-19 worldwide, I decided to continue the Red Section Series until the time has come for me to focus on Volume 9 very soon. I had so many ideas to create with when I’m drafting new chapters, especially I want to look back on the characters that I want to make them return to Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts, which means that most of the main characters have returned to the series while some minor characters have been upgraded to recurring characters. Also, there will be new braveheart groups to appear including some that are about to be featured in the Red Section Series in the future. The worldbuilding of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts continues to expand for more and hopefully, I will have many ideas to make this universe more blooming and harmonious for sure!:) The other good news is that Christmas season is almost approaching as I will be planning to post new drafts to make the Red Section Series running for more and one day, I will be starting to brainstorm ideas for the sixth omake of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts, which will be posted in Christmastime.;) That way, I will be progressing myself to continue running this series with new characters and groups to be introduced and make this worldbuilding universe more blooming for sure!:) The next update will be heading to Nagoya to focus on Erika Yoshioka, a member of the Bravehearts of Nagoya, as she and her friends from her group, the Akamatsu Blazers, will be meeting with her close friends on her side, so that she will be forming her circle of friends that will represent for her. I hope that you’re all excited something new to witness because the next update will be more blooming and more thrilling as Erika and her friends are ready to shine together with her close friends to make sure that they will bring their hopes and dreams to their community in their hometown. Get ready to witness those through your smiles and thrills when the next update will be posted on September 26 (Sunday)!;) I’ll see you on September 26 (Sunday) for the next update of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts!

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES”
CHAPTER 76: “RUN THE PLACE WITH THE TAKEDA SWORD BLOSSOM!”​

Date: May 12, 2010 (Wednesday)

This side chapter is focused on Erika Yoshioka and her friends from the Akamatsu Blazers as they are staying at the Yoshioka Residence in Takeda, one the northwestern areas of Mizuho, for a meeting with the close friends of Erika in planning to form their extended group. This side chapter takes place a few hours before Erika had headed back home to the Gotō Clan Ancestral House where she is with her fellow members of the Bravehearts of Nagoya to welcome Mira Aoki and the Aoki Lone Wolves to that braveheart group.

At the Yoshioka Residence, which is located in Takeda, one of the northwestern areas of Mizuho, Erika Yoshioka had invited her friends not only from her friend group, the Akamatsu Blazers, but her close friends from her neighborhood as they’re about to form her circle of friends, which will be served as the extended group of the Akamatsu Blazers. The name of that circle of friends is going to be the Takeda Sword Blossom.

Akamatsu Blazers: Nanako Sakurano, Hisaya Morimoto, Sakura Shirakawa, Runa Takatsuki, Nagisa Enomoto, Yuka Sumiyoshi, Kenichi Kobayashi, Shōta Kumagai, Shuto Ushijima, Naoto Nishioka, Kōichi Uchiyama, Konomi Harasaki, Takao Sugimori, Kanako Sano, Hideyuki Amano and Kiyoko Yahagi
Close Friends of Erika Yoshioka: Tamaki Hachikusa, Genta Okamura, Yasuko Shiotani, Eriko Takatsuji, Miyaka Sakamoto, Tsunehisa Mayuzumi and Yūta Nagashima

“Thank you for inviting us into your place, Erika. I didn’t know that you have a wonderful home that you have” said Tamaki Hachikusa, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Mitsurugi Elementary School and a close friend of Erika Yoshioka.

“It’s going to be fantastic that we’re gonna stay here for a while after finishing school separately” said Genta Okamura, a first year middle school student from the Mizuhogaoka Middle School and a close friend of Erika Yoshioka.

“Yep! My mother Kiyomi hailed from this city when she was born and she persuaded her husband Shugo, which is my father, to live with her after marriage. As a result, I was born outside Kawasaki as the first child of my parents. My other siblings Kōta and Yuriko were also born there and they’re currently studying in the same school as mine” said Erika.

“Ah, I see! I believe that you had some roots from Kanagawa, which means that you’re different from your other siblings” said Tamaki.

“You have some pride and courage for your father’s hometown, but you have found some blessings when you born in Nagoya” said Genta.

“That’s where most of us have used to have blessings when we’re all born in Nagoya through different ways” said Yasuko Shiotani, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Todoroki Gakuen Elementary School and a close friend of Erika Yoshioka.

“It made us feel good that we want to represent there, so that we’ll be able to build dreams to everyone” said Eriko Takatsuji, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Mitsurugi Elementary School and a close friend of Erika Yoshioka.

“You got that right, guys! My relatives from Kawasaki and Ōta have been prospering themselves that they will strive for their dreams to be fulfilled because they have done a lot of things to make themselves inspired. I’m very confident that I would do the same thing because not only that my family had found new friends in Nagoya, but I want to represent my own circle for all of you” said Erika.

“That’s why we gathered all of you to witness the first meeting of our new extended group” said Nanako Sakurano, a sixth grade elementary school student form the Todoroki Gakuen Elementary School and the leader of the Akamatsu Blazers. She's also the younger sister of Haruya Sakurano.

“Which will be named as the Takeda Sword Bloom” said Hisaya Morimoto, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Todoroki Gakuen Elementary School and a member of the Akamatsu Blazers.

“It will be composed of the friends of Erika and the groups that are coming from Takeda and its neighboring areas that their main color is scarlet” said Sakura Shirakawa, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Todoroki Gakuen Elementary School and a member of the Akamatsu Blazers.

“We’re all witness that we want to make the differences in representing this hometown, so that we will be ready to do whatever it takes run that one” said Kenichi Kobayashi, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Todoroki Gakuen Elementary School and a member of the Akamatsu Blazers.

“Hopefully, we will start building our own friendship like how the Mitsurugi Red Bloom and the other circle of friends did” said Shōta Kumagai, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Todoroki Gakuen Elementary School and a member of the Akamatsu Blazers. Right before the Akamatsu Blazers, the Bravehearts of Nagoya have already made allies from different mainstream groups through the extended group system.

“Yes, of course!” said the close friends of Erika.

“We believe that we will be ready to make new friends because we want to get more involved in blessing everyone” said Tamaki.

“It will be amazing that we’re gonna bless and inspire them to make them new friends, so that we will collaborate with them for future activities” said Genta.

“That way, they are gonna be motivated to get along with us for sure!” said Yasuko.

“Yeah!” said Erika and her friends from the Akamatsu Blazers.

“After Kira had shared about her extended group to us yesterday, I finally come up with the decision to form my own, so that it will be amazing for me to be with you any time that I want” said Erika.

“So, is that what you’re doing this for now?” asked Tamaki.

“Yep!” said Erika.

“Well, I say that let’s form this together!” said Tamaki.

“I’m so excited about this!” said Genta.

“Yeah, me too! I want to explore your details about your plan!” said Yasuko.

“That way, it will be amazing that we will run together as one!” said Eriko.

“It’s going to be fun that we will get along with each other because we’re very close friends to you, Erika-chan!” said Miyaka Sakamoto, a first year middle school student from the Mizuhogaoka Middle School and a close friend of Erika Yoshioka.

“Okay, then, if you want to get excited about this, then me and my friends will about to explain this right now!” said Erika.

“Alright!” said the close friends of Erika.

Erika will about to explain about what her circle of friends would be like. “My new circle of friends, the Takeda Sword Blossom, will be a group that energizes everyone because this will make us showing some determination to make sure that we’re ready to get involved in helping our hometown to grow with our blessings. I want to do like how my close friends from the Bravehearts of Nagoya did because I want to inspire you all for more, so that I want you to get involved in making me groomed enough to work together as one. As a result, I have a structure that I used when I’m going to make my circle of friends.”

Erika would put her flow chart to the table before her close friends gleam at it. They were amazed when you found out that Erika is planning to invite her other close friends and some groups that are interested in joining the Takeda Sword Blossom. “What do you think, guys? Isn’t that beautiful?”

“Yes, it is!” said Tamaki.

“I’m liking this one!” said Genta.

“This one looks good!” said Yasuko.

“I say that your flow chart may be off the charts if we can invite them to your circle” said Eriko.

“I’m sure that sure they’re ready to join with you” said Miyaka.

“This may be the start of a new era for all of us” said Tsunehisa Mayuzumi, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Mitsurugi Elementary School and a close friend of Erika Yoshioka.

“We’re all gonna shine together as a group of friends and allies!” said Yūta Nagashima, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Todoroki Gakuen Elementary School and a close friend of Erika Yoshioka.

“Yeah, you’re right about that! I have drawn it yesterday while I was busy watching a Japanese drama with my fellow friends. I have done it before I slept, which it lasted for 4 hours” said Erika.

“Interesting, Erika! What does it looked like?” said Tamaki.

“It will be composed of my close friends that I have befriended with ever since the beginning and then, the groups that are coming from Takeda and its neighboring areas that its main color is scarlet. I also consider inviting those from Showa, the neighboring ward of Mizuho, but I don’t think that it’s gonna apply to it unless I would agree to do so” said Erika.

“That sounds good, Erika! I know that this would be nice to have more friends on your side, but I hope that it’s going to be great that you will invite more of your friends” said Tamaki.

“Yeah, I agree!” said Erika.

“So, what does the groups that their main color is scarlet would be like?” asked Genta.

“That’s a good question, Genta. I’ll leave it to Nanako and her friends about it” said Erika.

“Of course, Erika!” said Nanako as she’s going to explain about the groups that their main color is scarlet. “You see, these scarlet-colored groups are much bigger than the other wards because they have a lot of groups that they have their common goal: determination.”

“They are very charismatic in making themselves comfortable to help with each other and they were very compassion to show who they are” said Hisaya.

“As they are destined to make them motivated” said Sakura.

“Erika said that a lot of students wanted to make the difference through their own desires and as a result, our new circle of friends will be now ready to invite those groups, so that we will be collaborating with them for future activities that will be more fun and exciting to work with” said Runa Takatsuki, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Todoroki Gakuen Elementary School and a member of the Akamatsu Blazers.

“One of the things that we also have in our minds is that we’re planning to invite some groups that are allied to any of us” said Nagisa Enomoto, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Todoroki Gakuen Elementary School and a member of the Akamatsu Blazers.

“Which means that those who have been friends with us whether a group or a person are interested in our group, depends on their decision on whether to get involved with us or not” said Yuka Sumiyoshi, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Todoroki Gakuen Elementary School and a member of the Akamatsu Blazers.

“The Takeda Sword Blossom is a group of young people that they want to make the difference and they have a lot of things to make themselves determined and compassionated” said Kenichi.

“They are about to build something big to make sure that everyone is ready to motivate themselves in making the community getting friendlier than you will expect” said Shōta.

“That’s why many of us are hoping to start making friends with us because we want them to be inspired and get themselves involved in making Takeda and its neighboring areas getting friendlier” said Shuto Ushijima, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Todoroki Gakuen Elementary School and a member of the Akamatsu Blazers.

“So that, they are ready to do whatever it takes to shine our hometown with their hearts!” said Naoto Nishioka, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Todoroki Gakuen Elementary School and a member of the Akamatsu Blazers.

“Yeah!” said the close friends of Erika.

“I have proposed those to my close friends out there such as Takuma Ishikawa, Minori Katsumoto, Tsuneyasu Arigaki and Fumika Hirohashi and they have been thinking about it for now” said Erika.

“That’s good! I think that it will be a great way to start this one!” said Tamaki.

“Your friends out there will be so amazing that they will be with you if they’re good enough to show their hearts to all of us” said Genta.

“I hope so, Genta. I’m not usually type of inviting people, but I only recognized some of them that are very close, especially you guys” said Erika.

“Well, I will be more expecting that they’re gonna come out to join with us” said Yasuko.

“They should be ready to be with us if they are interested in your planned activities” said Eriko.

“That way, they will be able to join with us” said Miyaka.

“Yeah, I hope so” said Erika.

“By the way, Erika-san, did you have high school friends?” asked Tsunehisa.

“Well, I have recognized at least three and they were Hanako Suzumoto, Kazuyuki Hata and Akina Matsui. They were just first year high school students from the Todoroki Gakuen High School. They also used to take their part-time jobs in a cafe called Soleil de Ume, located in Uesaka” said Erika.

“Hey, that’s the place where we eat together for dinner!” said Eriko.

“Their fruit cakes are really cool to eat!” said Miyaka.

“Yeah! They have served breads and cakes that are so delicious to eat!” said Erika.

“They also produced fruit shakes, which is varied, depending on what season will be” said Nanako.

“Yeah!” said Eriko and Miyaka.

“I’ll be delighted that we can go there for dinner again, Erika-chan!” said Eriko.

“That way, we can have so much to fun to stay there for something delicious to eat!” said Miyaka.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Erika and Nanako.

“Are you going to invite them into your circle of friends, Erika-san?” asked Tsunehisa.

“I haven’t invited them yet, Tsunehisa” said Erika.

“Oh, that’s too bad. I don’t know if you will let them involved with your future activities that will shine every one of us” said Tsunehisa.

“They might be interested on someone else, I think” said Yūta.

“I’m not sure about whether they have their own interests on something else, but otherwise, I think that they might be busy with their own friends. However, I’m going to invite them one day if they’re no longer busy with their own stuff” said Erika.

“Unlike most of us, some aren’t sure about joining our extended group because they have their own friends that they want to be with them” said Nanako.

“But others have been part of somebody else’s group” said Hisaya.

“However, they might change their minds if we’re definitely gonna need them though” said Kenichi.

“Before we took part of the Bravehearts of Nagoya with Erika being a full member while us being a mainstream group, we don’t used to make friends with strangers unless if they are an acquaintance to us” said Shōta.

“However, anyone else can join if they have the desire to get along with us” said Sakura.

“So, hopefully, we will be able to lure them to our circle of friends, so that we will be able to work together as one” said Runa.

“I agree with that, guys. I mean, this group should be something special to all of us because we’re very confident to work hard” said Erika.

“In making our friendship getting developed with our smiles” said Nanako.

“But we want to do some more” said Kenichi.

“By making future activities that will make us feel good” said Shōta.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the close friends of Erika.

“So, first up, it’s going to be a team-up activity with my fellow friends from the Bravehearts of Nagoya where we will go hanami viewing” said Erika.

“Wow! I didn’t know that you have your friends on your group!” said Tamaki.

“It sounds like you’re more recognized after all!” said Genta.

“Yes, of course! My fellow friends from my batch are composed of me, Rumi Saitō, Sumire Takeyama, Chiyo Takezono and Reina Nonaka, and the counterparts from the boys’ basketball team are composed of Kyōhei Suzuki, Tatsuhisa Moriyama, Akio Tatsumi, Yukihiro Sogabe and Nobuhisa Hashiuchi. We used to get along with each other during breaktime and we have been developing our friendship, so that we will be close with each other” said Erika.

“Hey, I have recognized Akio Tatsumi through his father Toshihiro” said Yasuko.

“Who is still a basketball player at the age of 38, playing in the local league” said Tsunehisa.

“That Akio is going to become a superstar once his father will retire in a few years” said Yūta.

“Yep! Akio is like me as he’s a solid three-point specialist and offensive threat in shooting layups. He had been dreaming of becoming a professional basketball player just like his father one day and so, he decided to join the Todoroki Gakuen Elementary School boys’ basketball team, so that he wants to shine there first” said Erika.

“Akio was one of the young guys that made the attention before he joined that team when he was able to compete in a youth competition in Nagoya last summer” said Nanako.

“He had a team competed at the Ōta Invitationals with his friends known as the Great Archer” said Hisaya.

“During one of their matches, when they competed against a group of second year middle school students known as the Aether League Ōta, he was able to make a beautiful half-court shot at the end of the third quarter while dominating that game” said Sakura.

“Wow! I never seen that one before!” said Tamaki.

“He’s doing at it without hesitation, I tell you!” said Genta.

“Yes, he was. Akio hadn’t known about this with his eyes getting closed before the shot was counted surprisingly” said Kenichi.

“That’s why he became attracted by a lot of scouts about his shooting ability” said Shōta.

“Which is resembled to Klay Thompson” said Shuto.

“That’s why he’s on fire when he made these shots that are raining” said Naoto.

“Which he was given a nickname known as the Wetfire Archer” said Kōichi Uchiyama, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Todoroki Gakuen Elementary School and a member of the Akamatsu Blazers.

“Because he’s the most efficient three-point shooter as he played both shooting guard and small forward” said Runa.

“Much to everyone’s surprise, he had also learned his moves from his father because he wanted to be like him one day” said Nagisa.

“For example, he had the finger roll layup over three defenders” said Yuko.

“Then, he had a tenacious block on one of his opponents” said Konomi Harasaki, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Todoroki Gakuen Elementary School and a member of the Akamatsu Blazers.

“That guy is one-of-a-kind wing player, despite he’s still very young to do it” said Takao Sugimori, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Todoroki Gakuen Elementary School and a member of the Akamatsu Blazers.

“Yeah!” said the close friends of Erika.

“I can’t believe that this guy may be very attractive to his fans, despite he’s still young to ball” said Tamaki.

“He had his own sense of nature when he’s going to show something that he needs to count in” said Genta.

“Especially when he’s making these shots like it’s on fire” said Yasuko.

“We never expect that this guy could make it to the big leagues, but hopefully, he’s gonna keep it up to make his career skyrocket to the top” said Eriko.

“Yes, I agree, guys. You will never sleep on him if he’s about to get his shots on fire like it’s lights out for sure! Don’t you agree?” said Erika.

“Yeah!” said the close friends of Erika.

“So, about the hanami viewing, what would it be like because we don’t know about this?” asked Tsunehisa.

“Yeah, me either, Erika” said Yūta.

“Well, you got the right person to explain, so I’ll explain about this you all” said Erika.

“Yeah!” said the close friends of Erika.

“My friends and I have used to visit some areas with cherry blossom trees, so that we want to see those leaves falling like it can sparkle around” said Erika.

“Oh, that’s cool! I never thought that it would be magic” said Tsunehisa.

“There’s no magic out there, but as you can see, cherry blossom trees are more special to see them bloom” said Nanako.

“That’s why everybody loves to do hanami viewing because they want to see those for themselves” said Hisaya.

“I have used to do that with my family and relatives out there when we have some picnic” said Tamaki.

“Oh, I have the same thing on that, Tamaki!” said Eriko.

“We’re so much fun looking at the cherry blossom trees falling whenever they’re about to bloom themselves” said Miyaka.

“I’m very fascinated when you look at them because they’re more special to see the leaves falling to the ground” said Genta.

“Which you can remember those as a sign of memory that you will never forget” said Yasuko.

“Exactly, Yasuko. That’s why this one will be very interesting to plan with because I want everyone on my side to have a taste of witnessing this for ourselves. It will be awesome that you should invite your friends too, so that they want to see it as well” said Erika.

“Yeah, we do!” said the close friends of Erika.

“We can schedule this by the end of the month on May 30, so that it will be great that we will be able to see them bloom” said Nanako.

“And of course, it’s almost summertime, which means that this may be the last time to see it until next year” said Hisaya.

“Yeah!” said the close friends of Erika.

“So, who are those in favor it?” asked Erika.

The close friends of Erika would raise their hands altogether while shouting together “Yeah!”

“Okay, then! Hanami viewing is now approved!” said Erika.

“Alright!” said the close friends of Erika.

“It’s going to be awesome that everyone will be ready to see the cherry blossom leaves falling” said Tamaki.

“This may be the best hanami viewing with everyone is ready to witness before our very eyes” said Genta.

“I hope that this one will make us feeling good because we’re all here to run together as one” said Yasuko.

“Yeah!” said Erika.

“The other planned activity that we’re gonna do is that we’ll have a creative activity where we’re going to make some colorful lanterns for every festival that we’re gonna participate all around in Mizuho” said Nanako.

“All we have to do is that we’re gonna bring some colorful materials to make some lanterns and it’s going to fun to make them lighting out” said Hisaya.

“Oh, that’s a good idea, girls! I have used to make those lanterns for the school festival last year” said Tamaki.

“It will be great to see those lanterns getting lighten up to make sure that it’s shining all the way” said Genta.

“Hopefully, it’s going to be amazing that we will use those for any festivity that we’re gonna participate” said Yasuko.

“We should shine those as a sign of a celebration that we don’t want to forget” said Eriko.

“That way, we will never forget those moments” said Miyaka.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Erika and her friends from the Akamatsu Blazers.

“Erika had been interested in festivals because she wanted to get involved in making her hometown shining through her compassionated heart” said Kenichi.

“That’s how you used to celebrate with your friends, which we were able to do that at the same time” said Shōta.

“Now that the Takeda Sword Blossom will be formed as a circle of friends for Erika, we will finally encourage you to be one of us when we’re gonna participate at any festival that we’re gonna go with” said Shuto.

“I’m sure that you’re all interested in those because this is how the fun and excitement begins at, which you’re gonna see a lot of things that you want to enjoy with” said Sakura.

“And you should always smile if you find it interested at the same time” said Runa.

“Hopefully, you’ll get used to it when we’re gonna invite you all to any specific activity and you’ll be ready to enjoy this for yourselves” said Nagisa.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the close friends of Erika.

“So, making some lanterns will be amazing for us to do, so that we’re gonna use those for any festival that we’re gonna need it” said Erika.

“Hopefully, you’ll be interested on those” said Nanako.

“Yeah, we do!” said the close friends of Erika as they use their motivation to approve Nanako’s idea.

“Okay, then! Then, it’s approved!” said Erika.

“The lantern making activity will be scheduled to take place at some point right before the next festival, so get ready to make it creative and fantastic to do!” said Nanako.

“Yeah!” said the close friends of Erika.

“Now, everyone, did you have some fantastic plans that you’re gonna show it to us?” asked Erika.

The close friends of Erika are not sure if they have their own idea to organize for the Takeda Sword Blossom.

“I don’t know if we have one. Can’t you?” said Tamaki.

“Yeah, me neither” said Genta.

“No, I don’t have one” said Yasuko.

“I guess not, Tamaki-chan” said Eriko.

“We don’t have one, I guess” said Tsunehisa.

“Yeah” said Yūta.

“What about you, Miyaka? Did you have any idea that you will be planning for us?” asked Erika.

“Yeah, I believe that I have one idea that I worked on” said Miyaka.

“Okay, what is it?” queried Erika.

“Well, my parents and colleagues have run a T-shirt business and they need some part-time workers for a massive project that will take place this year” said Miyaka.

“Interesting idea, Miyaka. I didn’t know that you had something in store with your family business” said Erika.

“Like they’re gonna make T-shirts…” said Nanako.

“…for them to use for their pride and courage on their favorite sports teams” said Hisaya.

“Yep!” said Erika.

“So, how are they’re opearting for?” asked Sakura.

“The Nagoya Grampus from J1 League” said Miyaka.

“Wow! I can’t believe that they’re supporting for that team!” said Sakura.

“It sounds like that team is very famous due to their productive players being good” said Runa.

“Especially that they have some solid youth academies out there to represent for youth competitions” said Kenichi.

“Yes, indeed. My parents are fans of the Nagoya Grampus ever since the team’s founding and so, they decided to run a business that gives the fans want them to represent for that team. So, it will be amazing that this team can be good as they are since they have run together like they used to” said Miyaka.

“Yeah, I agree with that! I believe that this team had their own fan base to support that team because they have their own pride and courage to make them blessed” said Konomi.

“The Nagoya Grampus had been a stronger team ever since their team’s founding” said Yūta.

“And they have never given up for themselves” said Shuto.

“Through their heart and teamwork” said Naoto.

“They want to be a stronger team that reckon with because they have been doing a great job to perform well in many games” said Kōichi.

“That’s why a lot of fans believe that they are contending for the league title every year and sometimes, they want to be more motivated in making sure that they will do whatever it takes to win” said Nagisa.

“That’s why everyone loves to see the Nagoya Grampus because they want them to earn themselves to dominate the league” said Yuka.

“And one day, they could become world champions if they are really good enough to take on the world by exceeding expectations in the future” said Kanako Sano, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Todoroki Gakuen Elementary School and a member of the Akamatsu Blazers.

“Yeah, I believe so, guys. Of course, since I’m a friend of Erika, I wanted to get you all involved for the support of the Nagoya Grampus because my parents said that there are a lot of youth people are interested to watch their games and I believe that you guys will be interested in being part of it” said Miyaka.

“Ah, I see that point now, Miyaka. Well, for me, I’m a compassionated girl that I used to get involved in different activities, but honestly, your idea is making me thrilled that I could get involved to make their fan base getting stronger” said Erika.

“I agree with that, Erika!” said Tamaki before speaking to Miyaka. “I like your idea too because you said that you want that team to get popular for more, right?”

“Of course! After all, the Nagoya Grampus is a team based in Nagoya, which is why all Nagoya residents are always there to support that team” said Miyaka.

“Yeah, that’s true, Miyaka. Then, why not we will be involved with your idea? That way, we will work together in making those T-shirts for the fan base of that team” said Tamaki.

“We will be delighted to help you with that!” said Genta.

“We should build our own way of making the Nagoya Grampus a force to be reckon with” said Yasuko.

“So that, everyone in Nagoya will be ready to show some support for them” said Eriko.

“It will be amazing that we should let them prepared to give the players some strength that they need to win every game” said Tsunehisa.

“They will do whatever it takes until one day, they will win the championship this season” said Yūta.

“Yeah, sure! I would be glad for all of you to contribute for my parents and their colleagues to make the Nagoya Grampus a stronger team” said Miyaka.

“Yeah, we will, Miyaka!” said Erika and her close friends while giving Miyaka a smile.

“Oh, I wanna join too, Miyaka!” said Nanako.

“Yeah, it will be awesome that we will work together as a team!” said Hisaya.

“That way, we’re gonna make our community getting thrilled to support the Nagoya Grampus for sure!” said Kenichi.

“Okay, guys! You can count on me as well!” said Miyaka.

“Alright!” said the members of the Akamatsu Blazers before thanking Miyaka. “Thank you very much, Miyaka!”

“You’re welcome!” said Miyaka.

“Now that everyone is ready to make our hometown more energized, I believe that we should be all set to run my circle of friends for the future of our hometown. What do you say?” said Erika.

“Yeah, we do!” said the close friends of Erika.

“Of course, we will!” said the members of the Akamatsu Blazers.

“Great! Since we’re all good for my circle of friends, then let’s have a big dinner together before we’ll part ways later” said Erika.

“Okay!” said the close friends of Erika and the members of the Akamatsu Blazers as they will be getting along with Erika to eat their big dinner at the dining table where the foods and drinks are being served by Kiyomi Yoshioka, the mother of Erika. The Takeda Sword Bloom had finally been formed as they will be representing for Erika to make sure that they are going to make Takeda more shining and more blooming with their future activities to make everyone ready to get their opportunity to be with them. They will be more compassionate to make Erika happy and uplifted, so that they will be able to develop their friendship with her through their blessed hearts and joyful smiles.

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES”
CHAPTER 77: “A FAMILY OF NIGHTINGALES AT THE GREAT BANQUET”​

Date: May 7, 2010 (Friday)

This side chapter is focused on the cousins of Hinata Kiyama as they are invited by Hinata Kiyama to the great banquet at the hall in the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel where they will be enjoying their night alongside her cousin Hinata and her friends from the Purpunakidori, also known as the Unburden Purple Nightingale.

At the central park in the Misawa Resort Hotel, Fujiko Kuronuma, Shigekazu Kuronuma, Munenori Kiyama, Shoko Kiyama and Takumi Kiyama are closing their booths before they’re about to head into the mansion where they were invited by their cousin Hinata Kiyama to attend the great banquet that celebrated the friendship between the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka.

“Is everyone ready to go to the mansion?” asked Munenori Kiyama, a third year high school student from the Tsukuba Gakuen High School and the cousin of Hinata Kiyama. He’s the oldest of the three children of Tōko Nishida and Kōsuke Kiyama.

“Yes, oniichan! I’m ready!” said Shoko Kiyama, a first year high school student from the Tsukuba Gakuen High School and the cousin of Hinata Kiyama.

“Me too!” said Takumi Kiyama, a third year middle school student from the Tsukuba Gakuen Middle School and the cousin of Hinata Kiyama.

“Why are we going to the mansion?” asked Fujiko Kuronuma, a first year high school student from the Tsukuba Gakuen High School and the cousin of Hinata Kiyama. Her father Shōichi is the brother of Hinata’s mother Tsubaki Kuronuma.

“Because Hinata had invited us to the great banquet where her friends are having a big party to celebrate their friendship with the Bravehearts of Fukuoka” said Munenori.

“She is part of the Bravehearts of Ōta, which means that she’s very happy to invite anyone to this event” said Shoko.

“Hopefully, you’re gonna see a lot of surprises out there when you’ll enter the mansion where a lot of people coming from different places gathering around to meet with each other for once in a lifetime” said Takumi.

“Well, I’m surprised that there this one may be the night that everyone will never forget” said Fujiko.

“It’s going to be fantastic to end the penultimate day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week with that one because the next day will be the final day of that festivity. I’m sure that it’s going to be more fun to make that festival the best that we have” said Shigekazu Kuronuma, a first year middle school student from the Tsukuba Gakuen Middle School and the cousin of Hinata Kiyama. He’s also the classmate of Ryōko Aihara and Tui Takizawa and the younger brother of Fujiko Kuronuma.

“Yeah!” said Munenori, Shoko and Takumi.

“One thing to tell you before we’ll go is that Hinata’s allies are there too, which means that they’ll be there to meet us as well” said Munenori.

“Yes, I agree with that, oniichan. They’re here to work on their big plan in forming their own extended group to represent for Hinata” said Shoko.

“So, we should be ready to meet them for sure” said Takumi.

“Yeah!” said Fujiko and Shigekazu.

“Now, let’s go to the mansion, everyone!” said Munenori.

“Yeah!” said Shoko, Takumi, Fujiko and Shigekazu as they alongside Munenori are walking together on their way to the mansion.

When they entered at the mansion, Munenori, Shoko, Takumi, Fujiko and Shigekazu are amazed to see a lot of the guests wandering around the living room and the hallway where they are all attending the great banquet. Later, he spotted Ryōko Aihara, Yui Takizawa and Himari Takizawa. Himari is the oldest sister of Yui and Ryūji Takizawa and a second year high school student from the Tsukuba Gakuen High School.

“Hi, guys!” said Ryōko, Yui and Himari.

“Ah, there you are, Himari-san! I’m looking forward to see you!” said Munenori as he hugs Himari, which makes Shoko, Takumi, Fujiko and Shigekazu being confused about this.

“Eh, what are you doing, Nori-san?” asked Fujiko.

“Hugging with her?” added Shigekazu.

Munenori blushes in front of his siblings and cousins while speaking to them. “Well, you see, Himari and I have dated with each other.”

“WHAT?!” surprisingly shouted Shoko, Takumi, Fujiko and Shigekazu.

“That’s right, Nori-senpai! We have been dating with each other for three years even though he’s one year ahead of me. So, I want to be more confident if I want to be his fiancé in the future” said Himari.

“So, you must be Nori’s girlfriend, Himari-san. Is that correct?” said Fujiko.

“Yes, I am, Fujiko-san. Nori-senpai had been very comforted to me ever since we met with each other in the same school since our elementary school days. That’s why I want to be very close to him, so that we will be able to become couples one day” said Himari.

“Ah, I get it now. I was so shocked that you know him for a long time” said Fujiko.

“Yes, of course!” said Himari.

“I’m sure that you’ll be getting goosebumps if he’s going to propose you to make sure that you’ll be marrying him for sure” said Shoko.

“It will be fantastic that you’re gonna have your own family with” said Takumi.

“Despite you’re still 16 years old” said Shigekazu.

“I’m not sure if he can propose me for a marriage, but he said that he will decide on that when everything will be done in school” said Himari.

“You’re right about that, Himari-san! We’re too young to marry with each other yet, but we still have our own goals to make, so that’s why it’s too early to say this for now” said Munenori.

“Ah, okay” said Shoko, Takumi, Fujiko and Shigekazu.

“Well, you guys, I hope that you guys are knowing about this, but Hinata is waiting for us” said Yui.

“She and her fellow friends are at their own table in the mansion. So, we should better hurry” said Ryōko.

“Okay!” said Munenori, Shoko, Takumi, Fujiko, Shigekazu and Himari.

Everyone would be going to the hall where the great banquet had taken place. They would later see Hinata and her friends from the Purpunakidori, who will be joined by her siblings Takahiro, Megu and Kuniyoshi and another cousin of hers in Kumiko Kuronuma, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Daijuku Gakuen Elementary School and a member of the Braveherts of Taitō.

Unburden Purple Nightingale ‘Purpunakidori’: Taketoshi Sawamatsu, Runa Kumada, Genjiro Aiuchi, Enju Takeshita, Hana Takihara, Masao Hanagata, Jun Tokui, Nobuaki Yamaguchi, Rina Tsuda, Minami Ogawa, Machiko Waki, Hiroki Koezuka, Keisuke Iwase, Maho Ohashi, Shinzō Tamashiro and Ryūji Takizawa

“Hi, cousin!” said Munenori, Shoko, Takumi, Fujiko and Shigekazu.

“Hi, guys! Please come join with us. We have been a great night to celebrate this event” said Hinata Kiyama.

“Okay!” said Munenori, Shoko, Takumi, Fujiko and Shigekazu as they would take their seats before Ryōko, Yui and Himari follow suit.

“I’m so glad that you’re just in time to attend this event” said Takahiro Kiyama, a second year middle school student from the Nishina Middle School and the second older brother of Hinata.

“Hinata had been waiting for you because we want you to witness this” said Megu Kiyama, a third year middle school student from the Nishina Middle School and the older sister of Hinata.

“The celebration had just been started and everyone is feeling right now” said Kuniyoshi Kiyama, a second year high school student from the Tsukuba Gakuen High School and the oldest sister of Hinata.

“Yeah!” said Munenori, Shoko, Takumi, Fujiko and Shigekazu.

“It feels great that you’re all here for this wonderful evening” said Hinata.

“Yep! Everyone is enjoying their night because the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka are getting blessed and inspired with their friendship getting developed” said Taketoshi Sawamatsu.

“That’s why you’re gonna get prepared to see what’s blooming for tonight’s update because this one will be the night that you’ll never forget!” said Kumiko Kuronuma, who was distinguished with her purple hair that is more identical of Hinata, but not close to Masami. She had worn her signature violet pendant as a symbol of joining the Bravehearts of Taitō.

“Yeah!” said Ryōko, Yui, Himari, the members of the Purpunakidori and the cousins of Hinata.

“As you can see, we have talked with each other about the possible plans on our future, regarding the extended group system and the development to explore new partnerships for my group” said Hinata.

“We tracked down some of the things that we need to work on as well on how this will apply when we’re going to make this for ourselves” said Taketoshi.

“The first thing that we have planned is that we’ll be going to explore some ideas on what the extended group would be like” said Runa Kumada.

“This is where we’re going to lay the foundation of our very own extended group for our Purpunakidori” said Genjiro Aiuchi.

“Hopefully, you will get involved in helping our plans to be pushed through, so that we will be ready to work on this very soon” said Enju Takeshita.

“Yeah, we will!” said Munenori, Shoko, Takumi, Fujiko and Shigekazu.

“First things first, I was thinking about making Ōmori Minami being the home base of our extended group since I was born and raised there. So, it will be amazing that I want to represent that area to make sure that I will bless them” said Hinata.

“Well, that would be nice to have that, cousin, because this is where we all belong” said Munenori.

“And we should let them bless and shine to respect us because this is what we do as cousins” said Fujiko.

“Hopefully, we will be able to recruit those if they are worthy to make us blissful and delighted” said Shoko.

“Yes, of course, guys! That’s why some of my friends in that area will be ended up going to be with us if they are desired to work with us” said Hinata.

“That way, it will be amazing to work with them through our hearts” said Taketoshi.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Ryōko, Yui, Himari, the members of the Purpunakidori and the cousins of Hinata.

“Also, there are some ideas like the composition and the structure of it where we want our extended group to be composed of the close friends of Hinata and the groups that are coming from Ōmori Minami that their main color is purple” said Runa.

“These guys will be having an opportunity to get along with us, so that we will be able to work on the activities that we will be energizing with in the future” said Genjiro.

“Hopefully, when it’s going to be formed, we will finally be ready to shine everyone in our community, so that they will be able to get blessed and inspired by us” said Enju.

“So, why purple?” asked Takumi.

“It’s her favorite color, Takumi-san” said Himari.

“As a result, she is willing to use that color to represent her pure and courageous personality as she wants her friends to be comfortable” said Hana Takahira.

“Hinata was very diligent to show her smile to everyone on her side, which means that she can do a lot of things to make them delighted and happy to be her” said Ryūji Takizawa.

“Ah, I see that point, guys. I believe that purple could be more of a good color to represent our courage” said Takumi.

“That would make us more determined to give everyone on our cousin’s side with respect” said Shigekazu.

“Yes, it is” said Himari.

“Of course!” said Hana and Ryūji.

“So, what would be the planned composition of the future extended group of the Purpunakidori would be like?” asked Shoko.

“It will be composed of the close friends of Hinata that have very closed to” said Masao Hanagata. He's also the cousin of Yasue Hanagata, a member of the Bravehearts of Ōta, and Kōji Hanagata, the leader of the Bravehearts of Minato.

“While on the other hand, there are some groups that are coming from Ōmori Minami and its surrounding areas that their main color is purple” said Jun Tokui.

“We don’t know which groups are qualified to that one, but it’s up to Hinata and her close friends will decide on when they will meet each other one day” said Nobuaki Yamaguchi.

“Ah, okay. I believe that this new extended group will be ready to work it out once everyone is agreed to join with my cousin because they know that they want to motivate themselves with her” said Shoko.

“So that, they’re gonna do whatever it takes to develop their friendship with her” said Fujiko.

“Yeah, we agree with that!” said Masao, Jun and Nobuaki.

“Fortunately, my close friends are ready to join my circle of friends” said Hinata.

“Ah, I see! Then, who will be?” said Shigekazu.

“It will be composed of Iruka Oenuki, Chiharu Togashi, Eiji Katsumata, Shōhei Natsuyoshi, Keita Mabuchi, Takako Shibasaki, Naoya Asakawa and Maiko Kawasaki” said Hinata.

“They’re all neighbors in Ōmori Minami and they have been very close to Hinata ever since they’re getting known with each other for a long time” said Taketoshi.

“While Iruka, Chiharu, Eiji, Shōhei and Keita are in the same grade as Hinata, the three, Takako, Naoya and Maiko, are first year middle schoolers” said Enju.

“Shōhei’s older brother Tsubasa will also expect to join the circle as well because he’s used to get along with him” said Hana. Tsubasa Natsuyoshi is a third year middle school student from the Nishina Middle School.

“Same goes to Keita’s older sisters Kirara and Kozue, who are also friends with Hinata because they supported her basketball career” said Ryūji. Kirara and Kozue are second year and third year middle school students from the Nishina Middle School.

“Wow! I’m so surprised that you have your friends getting motivated to join your circle of friends” said Shigekazu.

“It’s going to be fantastic that these guys are ready to collaborate with you to develop your friendship with them!” said Fujiko.

“Yes, they will, guys. I’m very satisfied that they’ll be going to join my circle of friends because they have their compassion to bless me as they want to be with me for sure!” said Hinata.

“Yeah!” said Fujiko and Shigekazu.

“On the other hand, we have talked about a possible plan that if Ryōko and Yui will be forming their own extended group one day, they’re expecting to invite Yui’s brother Ryūji from our group if he had the desire to leave the Purpunakidori” said Rina Tsuda.

“Interesting take, Rina-san. How did you know?” asked Takumi.

“You see, Ryōko and Yui have been part of a group known as the Vermillion Rising Nishina, but they also joined the Bravehearts of Ōta” said Rina.

“Because of that, they have an opportunity to form their own group to make them as a mainstream group of that said braveheart group” said Minami Ogawa.

“The big thing is that Ryūji needs to form his own circle from his own section 6-C” said Machiko Waki.

“And who are those?” asked Shigekazu.

“They were Hiroki Koezuka, Maho Ōhashi and Shizō Tamashiro” said Rina.

“Those three were mostly close to Ryūji because not only that there were friends with each other, but they also used to get along with us as well” said Minami.

“Ah, I get it now. So, it’s going to be a plan where he will be leaving your group to join with his sister and Ryōko, so that it will an open window for them to create their own group to be part of the Bravehearts of Ōta” said Takumi.

“It may be great to see some changes in your group when it happens, but we’re all not sure about it until something will change though” said Shigekazu.

“Yeah, we believe so” said Rina, Minami and Machiko.

“Well, guys, I haven’t decided on that yet because even though I’m different from anyone in the Purpunakidori, I want to be more involved in helping anyone, especially to that group because I like the way Hinata and my other friends have used to ever since she wanted to make this group more of a friendly group. There goes the same thing to my sister and Ryōko, who have their own set of friends to befriend with. So, I’m uncertain about my future right now” said Ryūji.

“Oh, we understand about that, Ryūji-san. As a friend of you, I’m always okay with anyone’s desire to do something for all of us, but leaving the Purpunakidori requires some consent from anyone that is part of the Bravehearts of Ōta. You see, Yui, Ryōko and I have discussed this on their plans in putting their own friend group, so that they will be using the Vermillion Rising Nishina as the base to form their own extended group at some time. That’s why we want to encourage you to have double affiliation between my group and the new group” said Hinata.

“Hinata-san’s right, oniisan! You can’t leave the Purpunakidori if you want to be part of us and the only way to make that happen is to approve that to Subaru” said Yui.

“Subaru is the leader of the Bravehearts of Ōta and he has the power of accepting or declining proposals of any members in our group that they want to adjust a decision of one’s group. So, for now, it’s not final yet on whether the two of us will form our very own friend group” said Ryōko.

“Yeah, I agree with that, Yui and Ryōko. I should wait for my time to request that to Subaru one day, so that it will be acceptable, so I’ll stick with the double affiliation for a while. After that, we will sort things out together” said Ryūji.

“Sure, I would be glad to, Ryūji-san!” said Hinata.

“Yes, we can!” said Yui and Ryōko.

“For now, we’re currently planning to add a new division, which will be through a partnership between the three of us” said Hinata.

“What’s ‘a new division’?” asked Munenori.

“A new division will be composed of those that have been friends with the three of us” said Hinata.

“As well as the groups that are associated to Ryūji, but more interested in making friends with the Purpunakidori” said Ryōko.

“Which on the other hand, our proposed extended group will be planning to include the groups that are associated to Ryūji, but more interested in making friends with our own friend group” said Yui.

“Ah, that’s interesting. I believe those that have been friends with Ryūji will have their decision on whether to join the extended group of the Purpunakidori or the new one” said Munenori.

“Sounds like this could be fair for them if they want to be with you, guys” said Shoko.

“So that, there will be collaborative activities that will be going to plan with” said Fujiko.

“Yeah” said Hinata, Yui and Ryōko.

“Oh, speaking of which, I have an announcement to make” said Himari.

“Okay, nēchan! Go ahead!” said Yui.

“Me and Munenori are going to become partners!” said Himari.

“WHAT?!” shouted Hinata and the members of the Purpunakidori.

“You got to be kidding me?!” shouted Hinata.

“You two are engaged!?” exclaimed Taketoshi.

“Are you serious?!” reacted Runa.

“No, but the two of us are now in common with each other” said Himari.

“Which is why we’re now on a relationship” said Munenori.

“Well, I’m surprised that you two are now partners, which I’m feeling that you’re ready to develop your relationship into the next level” said Yui.

“Yes, it is, onēsan! That’s why the two of us will be planning to join the extended group of your planned group” said Himari.

“Okay, I see what you’re planning with this, nēchan. I’m okay with this because anyone in our clan who is on a relationship with someone from a different clan” said Yui.

“That would be fantastic to make a partnership between our clan and the Kiyama clan to make that happen” said Ryūji.

“Yes, I believe so. I want to be part of that extended group because I want to get more involved in making the community getting brighter with our activities that we’re going to make” said Himari.

“And so, it will be fair for both sides to allow your original plan that my cousin and Yui have to integrate it” said Munenori.

“That’s a good idea that you’re planning, cousin, but I will you what, since you have a relationship with Yui’s older sister, then I will allow you to join Yui’s circle of friends while the rest will be possibly to stay with my circle of friends” said Hinata.

“Well, we want to be involved with oniisan” said Shoko.

“Yeah, he had his plans to work with, so we should be joining with him for Yui’s circle of friends” said Takumi.

“Okay, if that’s the case, then you can join” said Yui.

“Sure!” said Shoko.

“That’s great!” said Takumi.

“It’s great that the two of us will be joining with your circle of friends, Yui-san. Maybe, we can plan together if we can shine our community” said Fujiko.

“So that, it will be amazing for us to work together since we’re on the same clan” said Shigekazu.

“Of course! You can do whatever you want when you’re now part of my circle” said Yui.

“Okay!” said Fujiko.

“You got it!” said Shigekazu.

“Now, another thing that the planned extended group of Hinata’s Purpunakidori will be going with is that we’re going to invite our allies coming from us” said Taketoshi.

“Which means anyone is a friend of us will have their opportunity to join the extended group of our group” said Runa.

“Right, at least four friends of Taketoshi are interested to join our extended group” said Genjiro.

“And they were Yasuhisa Sekita, Saori Uekusa, Toshihiro Takada and Motohisa Yukimura” said Enju.

“Both Yasuhisa and Saori are from the Kasuragi Elementary School as sixth graders while Toshihiro and Motohisa are from the Tsukuba Gakuen Middle School as first year middle schoolers” said Hana.

“Not only for that, but Runa’s older brother Shunichi will be joining as well” said Masao.

“He is a second year middle school student from the Nishina Middle School” said Jun.

“He will be serving as one of the advisers of our extended group” said Nobuaki.

“So far, we only have them, but we’re expecting to invite more to come” said Rina.

“Ah, that’s good! I’m expecting for them to join your circle of friends, guys” said Munenori.

“It seems that they’re ready to do whatever it takes to bless your community out there” said Shoko.

“They have their opportunity to show who really are as they’re ready to step up for your circle of friends” said Takumi.

“Yes, they will!” said the members of the Purpunakidori.

“The purpose of this is that we will be making our circle of friends getting more bloomed with our allies ready to get involved in showing our pride and compassion to everyone in our community” said Taketoshi.

“The more that we invite our allies out there, the better that we will be able to bless our community for more” said Runa.

“That’s why it’s going to be more exciting for all of us to work together as soon as we have to stick together” said Genjiro.

“There’s one heart in our circle of friends and of course, this is what we do to run this place. Right, everyone?” said Enju.

“Yeah!’ said the members of the Purpunakidori.

“Back to the proposed group of yours, Yui-san, what will happen once it will be formed?” asked Fujiko.

“That’s a good question, Fujiko-san. You see, Ryōko and I have some plans in making this new group ready to join the Bravehearts of Ōta as a requirement where we need our own friend group to represent us” said Yui.

“Which means that we’re expecting to lure Yui’s brother Ryūji to join our group, but like what we said earlier, we have to propose this movement to Subaru if he will agree this” said Ryōko.

“What happened is that Ryūji had considered leaving this group when his sister Yui and Ryōko have joined the Bravehearts of Ōta” said Minami.

“He said that he wants to get involved with his older sister and Ryōko, but he had also planned to staying with us if he wants to go for double affiliation” said Machiko.

“So, we talked about this a few hours ago before Hinata’s cousins have arrived where Ryūji said that he’s gonna apply for double affiliation, so that he will become a member of the Purpunakidori and a new group that his sister and Ryōko have” said Hiroki Koezuka.

“However, he might gonna change his mind if he feels uncertain about, which he might end up helping both sides or form a partnership between the two extended groups” said Keisuke Iwase.

“The latter is possible because this will allow Ryūji to stay in the Purpunakidori” said Maho Ōhashi.

“And everything will fine with both sides settled their plans to collaborate with each other in the future” said Shinzō Tamashiro.

“Ah, those things are very interesting, I’m expecting for both sides to work this out even Himari had already expected to join that group” said Fujiko.

“So, it will depend on whether he will leave or not, but I hope that he is considered getting the change of heart of staying your group” said Shigekazu.

“Yeah, we hope so” said the members of the Purpunakidori.

“I talked to them earlier about my plan on whether to stay or leave my group and I had explored my plans on this where I could allow my friends that have been allied to my sister to join her extended group while in vice versa, some of my sister’s batchmates that have been friends with me will join the extended group of the Purpunakidori” said Ryūji.

“Well, that one is a good option to make both sides agree on this and I believe that you will end up staying in the Purpunakidori if that happens” said Fujiko.

“It doesn’t matter whether you stay or leave, you have to make an alternate option, so that both sides will be able to maintain their partnership at the same time” said Shigekazu.

“Exactly, I agree!” said Ryūji.

“Since your oldest sister Himari will be joining Yui and Ryōko’s circle of friends, it’s okay that you can’t leave your own group” said Munenori.

“However, you can still partner with them if you want” said Shoko.

“No matter what you’re planning, you still have your heart for your group because they entrusted you all along” said Takumi.

“Yeah, I agree with you, guys. I might have to think about my options before my sister and Ryōko will decide on their proposal, but I’m still gonna ask them to sort it out” said Ryūji.

“Okay, sure” said Munenori.

“No problem, Ryūji-san!” said Shoko.

“Just think about it before you’ll decide on whether to leave or not” said Takumi.

“Yeah, I will!” said Ryūji.

“Guys, I also made a plan with my cousin from my maternal side Kumiko Kuronuma where we will be organizing a little set of activities to prepare ourselves for the upcoming invitational tournaments in both Ōta and Taitō” said Hinata.

“Yep! I will be leading my group, the Black Shrike’s Claw, for the upcoming Ueno Invitationals, which will take place by June 5 and 6, which is why me and Hinata will be working together in organizing future activities to make me and my friends prepared for that said tournament” said Kumiko. The Black Shrike’s Claw is a friend group, composed of the friends of Kumiko, being led by Takenori Kumazaki.

“That’s good! I never expect that you two will be partnering with each other!” said Munenori.

“It’s going to be a fun and interesting activity that you guys will be working with, so that you’re all prepared for the tournaments that you’ll be going to participate with” said Shoko.

“Yeah!” said Hinata and Kumiko.

“Wait, are you two are cousins?” asked Takumi.

“Yes, we are!” said Hinata and Kumiko.

“Kumiko is my cousin from my maternal side where my maternal grandfather is the oldest brother of her grandfather” said Hinata.

“Yep! My grandfather Takehito Kuronuma was a great military officer and he had been in the serve for more than 25 years before he retired peacefully. He’s such as a great leader that he had done a lot of because he had to take care of everything to make sure that our country in peace. He also got involved in politics a few times, but my father Shuichi and his brother Shigeo have mostly involved in politics due to them competing for the Taitō City Council. For me, I’m not interested in politics because I’m very neutral to any issue in my hometown except if I supported for my father’s stance on one issue to another” said Kumiko.

“Hmmm… that’s very interesting. I say that you had your point in making yourself more supportive to your father and uncle because you’re more compassionate to make your hometown getting better” said Takumi.

“I say that you had a big heart to make yourself earned for your hometown if you get the job done” said Fujiko.

“Like any cousin of Hinata, they will always show their heart and compassion to make themselves motivated” said Shigekazu.

“Yeah, I agree!” said Kumiko.

“So, why are you planning on that?” asked Munenori.

“The main reason for this is because there are rumors surrounding the Youth Division of the Ōmori Invitationals” said Hinata.

“People said that they want to overturn the results because there are a few teams participating at that tournament because they complained about the number of participants” said Taketoshi.

“Which is why they’re expecting to have all results null and void and re-schedule it to next month” said Runa.

“We don’t know what’s going on with this, but there are a lot of dissatisfactions out there, which means that they want to have many teams to compete” said Ryūji.

“Something like at least 50 teams, I guess” said Genjiro.

“That’s weird. I didn’t know that there are problems on the participation on that tournament” said Munenori.

“Which is why they want to re-start that tournament right away with many teams to compete” said Shoko.

“I’m expecting for that if they will push through, so that they will restart everything and make the tournament more interesting” said Takumi.

“Yeah, we hope so” said Hinata, Yui, Himari, Ryōko, Kumiko and the members of the Purpunakidori.

“So, it will be possible for the Sagi-ume to participate at the Ōmori Invitationals once again, but we’ll have to wait until this decision will be made by the organizers” said Hinata.

“Okay” said Munenori, Shoko, Takumi, Fujiko and Shigekazu.

“When your collaborative activity will take place?” asked Fujiko.

“It will be on May 29 to 30 at the Outdoor Basketball Court of the Misawa Resort Hotel. We made a talk with Maho on occupying one of the courts because the rest will be used for Maho and her friends’ organization of the Mini Games” said Hinata.

“Hopefully, we’ll expect a lot of you to come, so that you’re all thrilled to enjoy this one” said Kumiko.

“Yeah!” said Munenori, Shoko, Takumi, Fujiko and Shigekazu.

“I think that is all for now, guys, and it seems that we have a lot of things to do to set things up before we’re gonna form our own circle of friends” said Hinata.

“Yes, I believe so, Hinata-san, but we should do that at some point if everything is set to work together as a team” said Taketoshi.

“We should be ready for this, so that we’re all set to shine our community for sure!” said Runa.

“Yeah, I agree, guys!” said Hinata.

“Hopefully, we’re gonna prepare this as soon as possible” said Ryūji.

“Especially we have to sort out our own issues” said Genjiro.

“So that, we’re gonna this extended group as well as Yui and Ryōko’s group to be commissioned very soon” said Enju.

“Hopefully, this will be the beginning of our own chapter to write with” said Yui.

“Since we’re all in the same team” said Ryōko.

“It’s going to be awesome that we’re all set to run this group for sure!” said Hana.

“Yeah!” said Munenori, Shoko, Takumi, Fujiko, Shigekazu, Himari and the members of the Purpunakidori.

“For now, let’s all enjoy this night to celebrate this event that we will never forget!” said Kumiko.

“You got it, Kumi-san! Let’s smile together and have a wonderful night!” said Hinata.

“Yeah!” said Yui, Ryōko, Himari, the cousins of Hinata and the members of the Purpunakidori. Hinata and the Purpunakidori have finally laid the foundation of their planned extended group that will be formed very soon as soon as they will sort out the issues with Yui and Ryōko’s planned group and circle of friends with Ryūji’s future is now uncertain for a while. Everything will be possible for Hinata to make everyone on her side to bloom themselves as they will be ready to run their place together as they are here to bless their community in Ōmori Minami with their compassionated smiles.

Hinata and her friends including her siblings and relatives have finally laid the plans of forming their circle of friends that will represent for the former, who had been part of the New Camellian Dragons and the Bravehearts of Ōta. Hinata had been optimistic to her friends on her side because she had been determined to bless and inspire everyone who had been showing their benevolence and compassion to make sure that they’re coming to shine for her and her friends. It’s going to be grateful for Hinata and her friends as they’ll be planning to form their circle of friends in the future once her allies have finally agreed to join forces with them to make their extended group being part of the extended group system of the Bravehearts of Ōta.:) While the planned Volume 9 is all about the extended group system, which started in Volumes 7 and 8, and the Ikegami Invitationals, some of the side chapters of Volume 8.5 have been focused on planning for the extended group system, which means that it’s going to be very interesting to have the bravehearts getting ready to make their community more blooming and more prospering for more once their extended groups will be formed at the same time. I have plans for the future chapters that are focused on the extended group system in the Bravehearts of Ōta, but I will have those in the near future. So, fingers crossed once Volume 9 will expect to be released very soon if the COVID-19 pandemic is finally over as soon as the world might be back to normal by next year (2022) or 2023.;) By the way, there's one more update remaining for side chapters that are related to the Gosanaki Trio as the side story chapter for Yasushi Shionji will be posted on October 10 (Sunday), which will be two weeks from now.:D So, you'll wait on that date if you want to read this one to witness the return of Yasushi for sure!:) Now, the next update will be focused on the two idol groups from THE IDOLM@STER Shiny Colors, composed of Hōkago Climax Girls and Alstroemeria, who were my favorite idol groups in that series due to cute and compassionated idols, as they will be meeting with the basketball athletes from the Hanzōsen High School and the Shiodome Gakuen High School. It’s going to be something that I have worked on another idol genre series after Ongaku Shoujo, Love Live! School Idol Project and IDOLY PRIDE, ever since my recent birthday update when Hōkago Climax Girls had been appeared for first time with Subaru, the Bravehearts of Minato and the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. So, get ready to feel the climax and show the happiness when I will be posting this next update on October 3 (Sunday)!:) I’ll see you on October 3 (Sunday) for the next update of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts!

Hi, everyone!:) It’s a great start for Kiefer Ravena of Shiga Lakestars from B.League as he had clashed against his younger brother Ferdinand ‘Thirdy’ Ravena III of San-en NeoPhoenix, also from B.League, in his first game in Japan after playing in the Philippines with NLEX Road Warriors from PBA three years ago where Shiga had overpowered San-en after down by 17 in the first half with the final score of 93-83. Kiefer scored 11 points on his debut with the Lakestars while British player Ovie Soko scored 18 points to notch their first win of the season. It’s a great performance for Kiefer as he was able to shine just like how did in the past with NLEX. Hopefully, he will have a brighter future in Japan as soon as he’s ready to get balling with his own moves. Nice game to both of you, Kiefer and Thirdy!:) Just keep it up with your heart!;) Anyway, now let’s move on to the birthday corner before I’ll posting today’s update that will kick off the month of October!:)

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES”
CHAPTER 78: “CUTE AND PASSIONATED IDOLS MEET BASKETBALL ATHLETES”​

Date: May 9, 2010 (Sunday)

This side chapter is focused on Hōkago Climax Girls and Alstroemeria as they will be staying at the Kurohara Sweet Lodge before meeting with the basketball athletes from the Hanzōsen High School and the Shiodome Gakuen High School.

At the Kurohara Sweet Lodge, Hōkago Climax Girls and Alstroemeria are having a fun day to eat their lunch with delicious dishes and sweets to eat with.

Hōkago Climax Girls: Kaho Komiya, Chiyoko Sonoda, Juri Saijō, Rinze Morino and Natsuha Arisugawa
Alstroemeria: Amana Ōsaki, Tenka Ōsaki and Chiyuki Kuwayama

“I like your cousin working on this place, Chiyoko-san!” said Amana Ōsaki, a second year high school student from the Hanasaki Gakuen High School and a member of Alstroemeria. She’s also the twin sister of Tenka Ōsaki.

“This one could be a nice place to eat for lunch with a lot of choices to choose” said Tenka Ōsaki, a second year high school student from the Hanasaki Gakuen High School and a member of Alstroemeria. She’s also the twin sister of Amana Ōsaki.

“It’s going to be fantastic that we’re going to eat there because this one may be the best dessert place to relax and eat with” said Chiyuki Kuwayama, a member of Alstroemeria. She’s also the twin sister of Amana Ōsaki.

“That’s right, girls! My cousins have used to run this place as a dedicated fan base for me, which means that not only my dedicated fans out there wanting to visit there, but also many idols would go there to relax and eat too!” said Chiyoko Sonoda. The Kurohara Sweet Lodge is located in between the borders of Shiba and Takanawa.

“Most of you didn’t know that this lodge is also one of the relaxing cafes to check it out for Hōkago Climax Girls fans” said Kaho Komiya.

“As a result, anyone is a fan of our idol group used to enjoy there, so that they will be listening to our songs” said Juri Saijō.

“So that, they will be able to admire us” said Rinze Morino.

“Everybody will be getting on their feet to shout for excitement, so that they want to see us before their very eyes. That way, they’ll be ready to show some support on us!” said Natsuha Arisugawa.

“Of course, they will, girls! It’s so great that they will be able to admire you to make yourselves famous!” said Amana.

“Just like how we did on our fans in our idol group” said Tenka.

“They’re very compassionate to give us the blessings, so that they will be able to inspire us” said Chiyuki.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Kaho, Chiyoko, Juri, Rinze and Natsuha.

“I’m going to say that this day will be looking forward to see something good because later on, we will practice with our routine together” said Kaho.

“That’s a great idea, Kaho-san! I’m sure that we will be ready to make us shine in our next performance” said Amana.

“It will be awesome that we will be good to go, so that we’re all ready to step up and do our best together!” said Chiyoko.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Juri, Rinze, Natsuha, Tenka and Chiyuki.

“For now, we should eat our lunch together before we’ll be going back home to Tama for our practice session” said Kaho.

“Okay!” said Chiyoko, Juri, Rinze, Natsuha, Amana, Tenka and Chiyuki.

Later, the members of Hōkago Climax Girls and Alstroemeria are eating their lunch together where they ordered some delicious platters with pasta and bread and then, chocolate cakes. After eating their lunch, they’re finally looked good that their stomachs are full.

“Ah! That’s more I like it!” said Kaho.

“That feels me good!” said Chiyoko.

“We’re good to go!” said Amana.

“Those foods are so delicious!” said Tenka.

“I’m feeling grateful right now!” said Juri.

“It’s so nice that we’re all done with that lunch” said Rinze.

“Yeah, Rinze-san. It’s the best day to visit this place!” said Natsuha.

“I guess that we’re all set to leave this place right now, so that we’re gonna be early for our practice routine” said Chiyuki.

“Well, the practice routine is going to be at 3:00 in the afternoon, which means that we need to stay here for another hour before we’re all set for that one” said Kaho.

“That’s right, Kaho-san! The practice routine is not always starting early if we’re all here real quick, but we still have some time to do for the next two hours before we’re going to move on to that one” said Amana.

“So, hopefully, we’re gonna be prepared to make it to the practice routine as soon as we’re ready to try our best to improve our skills in voice and choreography” said Chiyoko.

“It will be amazing that we’re gonna be shining our way because that’s what idols do to smile!” said Tenka.

“Yeah!” said Juri, Rinze, Natsuha and Chiyuki.

Yumiko Kurohara would be meeting with her cousin Chiyoko and the members of Hōkago Climax Girls and Alstroemeria. “Hi, Chiyoko-san! Hi, girls!”

“Hi, cousin!” said Chiyoko.

“Hi, Yumiko-san!” said the members of Hōkago Climax Girls and Alstroemeria.

“Did you enjoy your lunch, girls?” asked Yumiko.

“Yeah!” said the members of Hōkago Climax Girls and Alstroemeria.

“We’re all good!” said Chiyoko.

“It was so nice that we ate those!” said Kaho.

“It was the best!” said Amana.

“Yeah, your foods are so delicious!” said Tenka.

“Thanks, girls! Say, I heard that you girls are gonna stay because you’ll be preparing for your practice session in your idol production. Isn’t that right?” said Yumiko.

“Yeah!” said the members of Hōkago Climax Girls and Alstroemeria.

“That’s why we’re gonna stay here for a while, so that we will be able to get out of here later in an hour, so that we’re all prepared for the practice routine” said Chiyoko.

“Ah, I see! Okay, then, I’m going to be with you for a while because I have to share something for you about the Hanzōsen High School boys’ basketball team” said Yumi.

“Okay!” said the members of Hōkago Climax Girls and Alstroemeria.

The members of Hōkago Climax Girls and Alstroemeria give Yumiko a seat, so that their conversation will begin with Yumiko explaining about the Hanzōsen High School boys’ basketball team.

Yumiko starts explaining about the Hanzōsen High School boys’ basketball team. “The Hanzōsen High School boys’ basketball team is one of the finest basketball programs in Minato, compared to different schools such as Shiodome Gakuen, Takanawa Seigyo, Itoda Business and Kotosei Academy. Currently, they’re one of the Top 25 basketball programs in Tokyo, considered the fact that they have the best basketball program in Minato. A lot of people said that this program had produced so many talented stars such as Atsuya Ushigome (a relative of Rimi Ushigome of Poppin’Party), Toshio Kaminuma, Yoshitaka Matsumoto and Shigenobu Furukawa. They recently have three best players in their roster this year, composed of two third years and one second year.” Rimi is a member of Poppin’Party from BanG Dream! and is voiced by Rimi Nishimoto.

“Who are they?” asked Amana.

“They were Shigeo Kawamoto, Ryoji Irie and Kōji Hanagata” said Yumiko.

“Wait a minute. I heard about Kōji, Yumiko-chan” said Amana.

“That guy with the yellow hair. He must be the leader of the Bravehearts of Minato” said Tenka.

“He must be one of the guys that had made a lot of friends since he had been leading his own braveheart group” said Chiyuki.

“Yes, he was, girls. Kōji was the son of Kazumasa Hagatata and Kasumi Mihara, who were very good in organizing activities for the Yellow Dream Group, which in turn he named his friend group known as the Prosperous Yellow Group” said Yumiko.

“Ah, we get it now” said the members of Hōkago Climax Girls and Alstroemeria.

“I’m glad that he had prospered a lot of his friends, which is why he was very complimented by them” said Chiyoko.

“He’s such a good leader when he’s stepping up for his team because he’s not holding them back through his wisdom” said Kaho.

“I say that his style of leadership would benefit him to be the captain of his team next year once the senpais will be graduating” said Juri.

“It’s going to be a tough year for him because he’s going to face a lot of challenges that he had and hopefully, he will be doing his best through his heart” said Rinze.

“He’s not always giving up because that’s what he does as a braveheart” said Natsuha.

“Yeah, I agree with that, girls!” said Yumiko.

Just then, a few seconds later, a group of basketball athletes have arrived, composed of the members of the boys’ basketball teams of the Hanzōsen High School and the Shiodome Gakuen High School. The former is composed of Naoya Inuzuka, Shigeo Kawamoto, Ryoji Irie, Satoru Nakayama, Makio Sakurano, Mitsuhisa Tobe and Takanori Ebisuzawa while the latter is composed of Kazuki Arimoto, Yoshiaki Kitazono, Ryuichi Sugioka, Hifumi Tsuzuki, Michio Kusaka and Kento Shiratori.

“Oh, goodness gracious! They’re finally here!” said Kaho.

“Yep!” said Yumiko with a smile on her face.

“They want to stay there for their break, I think” said Amana.

“I believe so, Amana-san. They are used to stay there every Sunday because one of them is a friend of my cousin’s brother Haruki” said Chiyoko.

“That’s right, cousin! Haruki had been friends with Makio Sakurano because they were on the same section in section 3-1. That’s why Makio used to meet with my brother three times a week in this place” said Yumiko.

“Ah, I see that point. Good thing that you had a brother who became friends with one of the members of that team” said Amana.

“I’m sure that that they’re having a great friendship between each other and that’s why they’re looking good to make themselves close” said Tenka.

“It’s nice to see that your brother looked delighted to meet that athlete, but I would like to say that he’s gonna support him for sure!” said Chiyuki.

“Yes, he will!” said Yumiko.

Makio Sakurano would wave his hands as he’s calling for Yumiko. Makio is a third year high school student from the Hanzōsen High School and a member of the Hanzōsen High School boys’ basketball team.

“Yumiko-san, I think that he’s calling you” said Juri.

“Oh, okay. I’ll get him” said Yumiko.

Makio would finally meet Yumiko. “Uh, are you the sister of Haruki?”

“Yes, I am, Makio-san. What can I do for you?” said Yumiko.

“I’m reserving a seat beside these ladies, so that we want to stay there for our break and also, I’m looking forward to meet your brother because he’s my classmate” said Makio.

“Oh, sure! I will call my brother out there while you guys can sit there” said Yumiko.

“Okay!” said the members of the boys’ basketball teams of the Hanzōsen High School and the Shiodome Gakuen High School before seeing Yumiko leaving, so that they will be able to take their seats beside the members of Hōkago Climax Girls and Alstroemeria.

“You must be the cousin of Yumiko and Haruki, right?” asked Naoya Inuzuka.

Chiyoko smiles to Shigeo before replying to him. “Yep! I’m Chiyoko Sonoda of Hōkago Climax Girls and I’m the cousin of Yumiko and Haruki Kurohara. You can call me ‘Chiyo-san’ if you want. That’s what my friends used to.”

“Okay!” said Naoya.

Chiyoko would introduce Shigeo to the rest of Hōkago Climax Girls and Alstroemeria. “By the way, these are my fellow friends from Hōkago Climax Girls, composed of me, Kaho Komiya, Juri Saijō, Rinze Morino and Natsuha Arisugawa, Then, joining with us are Alstroemeria, composed of the Ōsaki twins, Amana and Tenka, and Chiyuki Kuwayama.”

“How nice that your cousins are working here serving for foods and desserts in this place, Chiyo-san!” said Naoya.

“Yes, they were! This place is where the fans of me and my idol group, Hōkago Climax Girls, have gathered around there to eat and listen” said Chiyoko.

“You can feel the intense beats out there when you listen to our songs while eating your foods” said Kaho.

“That make you more climatic for excitement…” said Juri.

“…and action to see out there!” said Rinze.

“Hopefully, you’ll be thrilled since we met with each other the first time” said Natsuha.

“Yeah!” said members of the boys’ basketball teams of the Hanzōsen High School and the Shiodome Gakuen High School.

“So, how are you doing right now?” asked Juri. Before she became an idol, she’s a former basketball player until she stopped playing that sport after middle school. As a result, she had known about anything about basketball, especially to her former teammates in the Sekigawa Middle School girls’ basketball team.

“We’re good. We have finished our practice in the gym in our school where our head coach Keisei Ichiyanagi had made worked hard to make sure that we’re ready to play against the Hōshin International High School, a private high school based in Sumida, on May 12 (Wednesday)” said Naoya.

“They’re currently aimed to make it to the round of 32 in this year’s Interhigh prefectural tournament after they failed to make their expectations when they fall in the second round” said Shigeo Kawamoto, a third year high school student from the Hanzōsen High School and the vice captain of the Hanzōsen High School boys’ basketball team.

“That team will be led by Kazuto Nishimoto, who is considered the best three-point shooter in Central Tokyo” said Ryoji Irie, a third year high school student from the Hanzōsen High School and a member of the Hanzōsen High School boys’ basketball team.

“They also recruited an exchange student from Nigeria in a second year high school student Obiokor Ojekunle” said Satoru Nakayama, a third year high school student from the Hanzōsen High School and a member of the Hanzōsen High School boys’ basketball team.

“Who is said in taking his papers of becoming a naturalized citizen of Japan once he finished college in Tokyo, so that he’s allowed to play in any league” said Makio.

“That team is very tough to be beat if I remember correctly, but they’re considered the biggest threat in three-point shooting because they have been consistent in making threes” said Mitsuhisa Tobe, a third year high school student from the Hanzōsen High School and a member of the Hanzōsen High School boys’ basketball team.

“Hopefully, we will be able to beat Hōshin in our first of practice matches for our season, which will start at the Interhigh prefectural tournament. Hopefully, it will be amazing that we will become stronger, so that we’re gonna take everyone on notice!” said Takanori Ebisuzawa, a third year high school student from the Hanzōsen High School and a member of the Hanzōsen High School boys’ basketball team.

“Wow! I can’t believe that you have a formidable opponent that you should take on with, guys!” said Juri.

“Especially that you’re facing threats against that foreigner” said Natsuha.

“That’s going to be a tough test to stop that” said Chiyuki.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the members of the Hanzōsen High School boys’ basketball team.

“So, why are you inviting your fellow friends out there?” asked Juri.

“That’s a good question. You see, me and Kazuki Arimoto were friends with each other ever since we’re little and we used to play against each other in a streetball” said Naoya.

“It became a big fact that we became closed with each other since then, which is why he called me a ‘big brother’ because he always like to address me as a best friend” said Kazuki Arimoto, a third year high school student from the Shiodome Gakuen High School and the captain of the Shiodome Gakuen High School boys’ basketball team.

“Oh, I see! I believe that you two have friends with each other, which means that you two have gotten along with each other” said Juri.

“Yes, we are!” said Naoya and Kazuki.

“You’ll be surprised when we’re balling together in the court to take down our opponents with ease” said Naoya.

“Even though we’re rivals, we’re still looking great to have fun playing basketball as always” said Kazuki.

“Then, good for you! I’m sure that you will work hard with your friendship because I used to do that when I was a basketball athlete before. I was so good in playing basketball back in my days, but I have to take a break from that when I became an idol for 315 Production” said Juri.

“Oh, okay. You must be balling out there just like us” said Naoya.

“You had that strength and hustle coming out shine in your game” said Kazuki.

“Yeah, that was before, but I had been changed now since I became an idol. However, I might play basketball one day when my time is come to make a comeback soon” said Juri.

“Ah, okay” said Naoya.

“That’s good” said Kazuki.

“Maybe, you can play with us one day if you like” said Naoya.

“So that, you will be able to take your talents back to basketball if you can prove it for yourself” said Kazuki.

“Well, I don’t know if I can do that since I’m an idol, but I will think about it first” said Juri.

“Okay!” said Naoya and Kazuki.

Yumiko would return, but this time, she would be joined by her older brother Haruki. “I’m back!”

“I apologize that I’m busy out there, but it sounds like we’re all good” said Haruki Kurohara, a third year high school student from the Hanzōsen High School and the brother of Yumiko Kurohara.

“Yeah, we’re good!” said the members of Hōkago Climax Girls, Alstroemeria and the boys’ basketball teams of the Hanzōsen High School and the Shiodome Gakuen High School.

“Great! Now, if you excuse me, I’m going to ask the customers out there to take their order while my sister will be entertaining with you girls for a while” said Haruki.

“Okay!” said the members of Hōkago Climax Girls and Alstroemeria.

“Yumiko-chan, can you explain to us about how these athletes have started to grow their friendship with your brother?” asked Rinze.

“Of course, I can explain that!” said Yumiko as she’s going to explain the history of the friendship between her brother and the members of the Hanzōsen High School boys’ basketball team. “My brother started to make friends with them when he and Naoya have known with each other since they’re on the same class back in their elementary school days. One thing that you find it interesting is that Naoya had invited my brother to his 13th birthday party, which results to my brother getting new friends through Naoya. My brother hadn’t been interested in basketball, but he supported Naoya because he knew that he can step up with his own aura, so that he will be able to take care of business like he used to. My brother had started to invite Naoya and his friends here every Friday for their own Casual Friday activity, but sometimes, Naoya and his friends would visit there to meet my brother vice versa on every other day. Their friendship was really looked good right now and hopefully, they will continue to develop that one.”

“Ah, I see! So, that’s why your brother seemed to be close with those guys. I guess that he’s very comfortable to be with them” said Rinze.

“Like he had showed some respect for them to be feel good, I say” said Natsuha.

“Yes, I agree, girls. My brother is expecting to plan something big right before the summer break, but he said that he hasn’t say something about that though. He said that he’s still in the process of getting an upgrade for our shop, which is why he started to collect money to reach that goal one day” said Yumiko.

“What kind of upgrade that he is planning with?” asked Chiyuki.

“Well, he said that some new appliances for better cooking purposes, I think” said Yumiko.

“Do you mean ‘high-tech appliances’?” asked Juri.

“Yeah, something like that” said Yumiko.

“Well, I believe that this will be a great opportunity for your business to be upgrading because your brother had been saving his money to use for the upgrade” said Juri.

“It will be amazing that your business will be improving once it happens real soon” said Chiyuki.

“All customers that they have visited there will be able to gleam and smell something good” said Natsuha.

“I hope so, girls. My brother and my father are good in saving money for our business, but sometimes, they sorted some issues together” said Yumiko.

“I say that your business will be ready to elevate because it will benefit the upgrade that your brother is planning to allow the customers to get satisfied with something delicious” said Amana.

“We believe that your business had been doing great with the fans of Chiyoko and Hōkago Climax Girls loving the taste of foods and desserts and I hope that you and your brother will be able to keep this up” said Tenka.

“Yeah, I will!” said Yumiko.

“Speaking of which, Yumiko-chan, I believe that we can talk to the boys right now” said Rinze while seeing Haruki leaving to start cooking some food for the members of the boys’ basketball teams of the Hanzōsen High School and the Shiodome Gakuen High School.

“Sure, let’s talk with them!” said Yumiko.

“Okay!” said the members of Hōkago Climax Girls and Alstroemeria.

The conversation would continue, but this time, Naoya, Shigeo and Ryoji are talking about the relationship between the boys’ basketball teams of the Hanzōsen High School and the Shiodome Gakuen High School.

“Our school and Shiodome Gakuen are part of the Minato Dream Consortium, which is why our head coach used to arrange matches against the schools that are part of it during the summer if anyone isn’t advancing to the Interhigh Nationals. However, we also competed in a special summer tournament known as the Dream Cup where all middle school and high school basketball teams squaring off against each other every month of August. While our has the potential when it comes to all-around and playmaking, Shiodome Gakuen are more on defensive and rebounding ways” said Naoya.

“That’s right, Naoya-kun. Our school had been considered one of the most tenacious and lethal teams that have been very good on defense and rebounding” said Kazuki.

“We have some solid guys that are very good in taking down their opponents through the authority” said Yoshiaki Kitazono, a third year high school student from the Shiodome Gakuen High School and a member of the Shiodome Gakuen High School boys’ basketball team.

“As they want to be more aggressive, but more serious in making themselves formidable to take everyone on notice” said Ryuichi Sugioka, a third year high school student from the Shiodome Gakuen High School and a member of the Shiodome Gakuen High School boys’ basketball team.

“However, not only for that, our team had also produced some of the best lethal three-point specialists because they are very smart enough to light it out” said Hifumi Tsuzuki, a third year high school student from the Shiodome Gakuen High School and a member of the Shiodome Gakuen High School boys’ basketball team.

“Everyone knows that we’re hungry of making it to the Winter Cup after we have recruited two new players are Kōsuke Ikezaki and Ryōsuke Honda” said Michio Kusaka, a third year high school student from the Shiodome Gakuen High School and a member of the Shiodome Gakuen High School boys’ basketball team.

“Hopefully, we’re gonna be ready to do whatever it takes to make it to the Winter Cup, so that we’re good enough to shine for a better future. Right, guys?” said Kento Shiratori, a third year high school student from the Shiodome Gakuen High School and a member of the Shiodome Gakuen High School boys’ basketball team.

“Yeah!” said Kazuki, Yoshiaki, Ryuichi, Hifumi and Michio.

“Wow! I never see you before when you’re going to take everyone on notice! I guess that you’re not more of a surprised team after all!” said Juri.

“Looks like you guys are ready to take care of business if you want to prove themselves to be tenacious and lethal” said Natsuha.

“Yeah, we believe that our team had been competitive when it comes to competitions like the Interhigh prefectural tournaments and the minor tournaments around Tokyo” said Kazuki.

“But we want to be more determined to prove ourselves that we’re better than anyone else” said Yoshiaki.

“That’s why we’re trying our best to make it to the bigger competitions if we can survive the obstacles in facing some of the biggest names in Tokyo” said Ryuichi.

“Ah, I see that point” said Juri.

“Okay, I get it now” said Natsuha.

“I’m going to say that you guys will be ready to get competitive when it comes to the competitions that you’ll be competing because it will be so amazing that you guys will try to work hard in reaching your goals” said Juri.

“Hopefully, that’s going to make yourself motivated in stepping up through the real game” said Natsuha.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Juri and Natsuha.

“Naoya-san, did your team battled against Shiodome Gakuen?” asked Kaho.

“Well, I believe twice” said Naoya.

“Which ones?” asked Chiyoko.

“The first one was two years ago where I was contributing for the bench, but we got overpowered though” said Naoya.

“Oh, that’s too bad” said Kaho.

“I guess that when you faced them before you’re ranking up, you’re just helping your teammates to make sure that everything is stable” said Chiyoko.

“That way, your team should have gotten a victory” said Rinze.

“Yeah, but the good thing is that in the second encounter, which happened last year, we were able to take them down in front of our home floor” said Naoya.

“Wow! That’s so sweet!” said Chiyoko.

“I’m glad that you have won that!” said Kaho.

“It looks like you have proved them after all!” said Rinze.

“Yep!” said Naoya.

“Are those two matches from the Interhigh prefectural tournament or something?” asked Yumiko.

“Well, the first one was a warm-up match from two years ago, but the second one was the first round of the Dream Cup last year” said Naoya.

“Me and Naoya have stepped up and shined together when we faced against each other last summer” said Kazuki.

“It was a great fight between the two of us, but I got the last laugh over him” said Naoya.

“Well, I should have blocked your shot onto your face, but you got me” said Kazuki.

“Yeah, I guess so” said Naoya while sharing his laughter with Kazuki.

“Oh, geez! I guess that you’re proving well than I am” said Kazuki.

“Yep!” said Naoya with a wink on his face.

“That’s good! I have watched that last year with my brother and it was so awesome that you have worked hard to escape away from your rival” said Yumiko.

“Exactly, Yumiko-san. It made me feel good to make our team getting better, but let’s not forget that Kōji was also stepping up for us” said Naoya.

“He got eight points and three assists, but also shot 2 out of 3 from the three-point line” said Shigeo.

“That guy is looking good when I saw him dazzling around” said Ryoji.

“That’s why we made him the ace of our team this year” said Satoru.

“Ah, that’s good! I like that!” said Yumiko.

“I say that Kōji had been doing a great job in stepping up for your team” said Kaho.

“It feels great that a braveheart like him can do whatever it takes to show how it’s done through his wonderful heart” said Chiyoko.

“He will not give up until he will make himself earned” said Rinze.

“He always knows what to do to get the job done” said Amana.

“That way, he will be able to prove himself that he’s gonna be a superstar one day” said Tenka.

“Yeah!” said Naoya, Shigeo, Ryoji, Satoru, Makio, Mitsuhisa and Takanori.

“So, have your head coach gonna plan on another match between you two, Naoya-kun and Kazuki-kun?” asked Chiyuki.

“Well, so far, our head coach didn’t plan on that yet because he just released the schedule of our practice matches for four weeks to prepare for the Interhigh prefectural tournament. However, there’s a chance that our team will face Kazuki’s team by summer” said Naoya.

“Which will be fantastic that we will have a rematch with him, so that it will be great to show who’s better between the two of us” said Kazuki.

“Ah, okay. I guess that you guys are going to wait for your time to square off one day because it will be fantastic that you two will fight hard for the win” said Chiyuki.

“It’s going to be nice that you guys will be ready for another match if you guys are ready to prove themselves that you’re all better one day, but I hope that everything will be set to have a match like that” said Yumiko.

“Yeah, we hope so” said the members of the boys’ basketball teams of the Hanzōsen High School and the Shiodome Gakuen High School.

“So, what’s next for both of you guys?” asked Kaho.

“Are you expecting to prepare big for your matches this week?” asked Chiyoko.

“Yeah, of course!” said the members of the boys’ basketball teams of the Hanzōsen High School and the Shiodome Gakuen High School.

“For our team, we will be having another practice on Tuesday before our game against the Hōshin International High School” said Naoya.

“It will take place in our own home court, which means that we’re confident to win this match” said Shigeo.

“Hopefully, we’re all set to make the statement because this is what we do to shine” said Ryoji.

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

“I’m sure that you’re gonna more prepared to start your season better since you guys are looking good!” said Chiyoko.

“It’s going to be fantastic that you’re all good to go and so, we’ll be cheering for you!” said Yumiko.

“Yeah!” said Naoya, Shigeo, Ryoji, Satoru, Makio, Mitsuhisa and Takanori.

“As for us, we’re gonna do the same thing just like how Naoya and his boys did as we’ll be training for our game against the Aoyama Ryugo High School, a private high school located in Aoyama, on Thursday” said Kazuki.

“So, our training will also be held on Tuesday, which means that we should be ready to run our place as we’re about to tear them down in their home floor” said Yoshiaki.

“We’ll do whatever it takes to win, so that we’re gonna come out victorious” said Ryuichi.

“Well, I’m pretty confident that just like Hanzōsen, you guys are hyped out to show how it’s done for your team” said Juri.

“I have to say that you guys are ready to step up in the court to make sure that you’re gonna shine your way” said Rinze.

“The more that you worked together, the better your chances of winning will be looked good” said Natsuha.

“Yeah!” said Kazuki, Yoshiaki, Ryuichi, Hifumi, Michio and Kenta.

“What about your personal activities?” asked Amana.

“You should focus on that one before taking into the court first” said Tenka.

“We’re gonna have our own group activity later on with my fellow friends on my side” said Naoya.

“For me, I’m going to spend with my classmates to finish the assignment in Science” said Kazuki.

“I have a group review for a quiz in Literature tomorrow with my friends at my home” said Shigeo.

“The rest of our team will do some assignment out there” said Ryoji.

“Same goes to us” said Yoshiaki.

“Ah, I see. I guess that guys are so smart that you want to achieve in academics first before representing your team” said Amana.

“Na-chan’s right! You should study hard to pass your subjects in flying colors before you’ll do anything for your basketball team” said Tenka.

“That way, you’ll be able to have a successful basketball career for sure!” said Chiyuki.

“Yeah, we will!” said the members of the boys’ basketball teams of the Hanzōsen High School and the Shiodome Gakuen High School.

“By the way, guys, your food will be there, so get ready!” said Yumiko.

“Okay!” said the members of the boys’ basketball teams of the Hanzōsen High School and the Shiodome Gakuen High School.

A few minutes later, Haruki would return, bringing some foods and drinks, to the members of the boys’ basketball teams of the Hanzōsen High School and the Shiodome Gakuen High School.

The members of the boys’ basketball teams of the Hanzōsen High School and the Shiodome Gakuen High School would thank Haruki. “Thank you, Haruki-kun!”

“You’re welcome! Just enjoy your food!” said Haruki.

“Okay!” said the members of the boys’ basketball teams of the Hanzōsen High School and the Shiodome Gakuen High School as they would start eating their lunch together.

While at it, Yumiko and the members of Hōkago Climax Girls and Alstroemeria are happy to see the members of the boys’ basketball teams of the Hanzōsen High School and the Shiodome Gakuen High School.

“I’m so glad that these boys are so compassionate to us because they have been more respectful just like our friends that we have” said Kaho.

“Especially with their smiles that they don’t want to lose” said Chiyoko.

“They have the heart of determination to make sure that they will not lose their hope” said Juri.

“It seems that they’re ready to show themselves this year because they’re definitely looking forward to create their destiny in making themselves to be good” said Rinze.

“Hopefully, they will be able to dominate in their games, so that they’ll be proving themselves to be good in basketball” said Natsuha.

“Yeah, you’re right about that, girls! Those guys are looking forward to have a successful season this year because they have their potential in making it to the bigger tournaments this year, which is why it’s going to be a challenge for them to see who proves better” said Yumiko.

“Even though that they’re rivals, they would still show some heart and prowess to make sure that they’ll do whatever it takes to take everyone one notice” said Haruki.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the members of Hōkago Climax Girls and Alstroemeria.

“I hope that they will do their best to make sure that they’re good at it with their strength” said Amana.

“Everyone knows that they’re very good in taking care of their opponents like they used, which is why they’re looking forward to see something good this year” said Tenka.

“They know how to believe because they’re humble and confident and these things will make themselves stronger to take care of everything in the court” said Chiyuki.

“Exactly!” said Yumiko and Haruki.

“So, hopefully, we’ll be watching out for them when they’re ready to get into the court and show how their strength and prowess being the key to success this year” said Yumiko.

“There’s no question about it, sister, because it’s about time to shine for them this year! They’ll know what to do as they’re here to represent for their teams” said Haruki.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Yumiko and the members of Hōkago Climax Girls and Alstroemeria.

Chiyoko would look at the watch, which reads 1:57 in the afternoon, before speaking to her cousins. “Oh, my goodness! It’s almost 2:00 in the afternoon! I have to go back to Tama to attend the practice routine!”

“Oh, sure! You need to bring these foods to the producer” said Haruki as he gives Chiyoko a paper bag contains a chocolate cake.

“It will make the producer happy when you give it to him” said Yumiko.

“Sure, no problem!” said Chiyoko.

“We better go now, guys! Thanks for your food!” said Kaho and Amana.

“Off we go!” said Chiyoko as the members of Hōkago Climax Girls and Alstroemeria are now leaving the Kurohara Sweet Lodge.

“It’s nice knowing you, girls! Let’s meet each other again!” said Naoya.

“Okay, we got it!” said the members of Hōkago Climax Girls and Alstroemeria. The members of Hōkago Climax Girls and Alstroemeria have finally met the members of the boys’ basketball teams of the Hanzōsen High School and the Shiodome Gakuen High School, which means that they’ll be ready to cheer for them to make sure those guys are gonna shine themselves with strength and prowess.

“What are you holding, Chiyoko-chan?” said Kaho.

“Is that a food?” said Amana.

“Yep! My cousin Haruki gave me this as a mid-snack for the producer. I should be ready to give him some treat, so that he will be very happy to make me comfortable” said Chiyoko.

“Ah, that’s very nice! I’m sure that the producer will be admiring you when you give that food to him” said Kaho.

A Postscript Message from Chiyoko Sonoda

Hi, everyone! This is Chiyoko Sonoda of Hōkago Climax Girls and I would like to thank everyone for reading this fantastic update where me and my fellow friends from my idol group and Alstroemeria have our chance to meet with the basketball athletes from both Hanzōsen and Shiodome Gakuen. We were about to leave this place when we saw those guys appearing with their auras coming out. I'm so surprised that those athletes are very strong that they can show their moves to dazzle themselves, so that they will be able to shine with their auras. I’m very fascinated when my fellow friends and I have saw them and I was so amazed that they have gotten along with each other whenever they have a great time to take a break in a place like this, which I’m very shocked to see them staying for their lunch break. One thing that you find it very interesting is that my cousin Haruki had been friends with one of the players from Hanzōsen in Makio Sakurano. Makio is a compassionated and determined basketball player who had a dream of becoming a professional basketball player and I was very thrilled that he became friends with my cousin because they have been able to develop their friendship through their compassionated hearts, which is what I want to see for my cousin to do that! Of course, Kaho said that both teams have been considered strong due to their outstanding players as they wanted to rise themselves in creating their future and prove that they’re the best in Tokyo. We all know that in Hanzōsen, they have Kōji Hanagata, the leader of the Bravehearts of Minato, as well as Motoyuki Hori and Yūjirō Namiki, which means that they have their own potential to run their place without hesitation. This would do the same thing for Shiodome Gakuen as its captain Kazuki Arimoto is one of the relentless combo guards in Tokyo and one of the Top 10 prospects in that city due to his playmaking and finishing moves that made him formidable. Both Hanzōsen and Shiodome Gakuen became close with each other when it comes to non-basketball activities as well as they have their own gatherings between each other, but it comes to competitions, they have showed themselves in proving the ground to see who the best between them, which everyone in both schools said that it’s too close to call on who the best of those two. For me, to be honest, I would pick Hanzōsen because they got a lot of firepower to rally with and they’re very impressive in attacking the defense of their opponents through their own strategies. It’s so nice to that the players from Hanzōsen are always determined to take care of the court and hopefully, they will be more formidable to reckon with. This would also do the same thing for Shiodome Gakuen, who were also good, but they’re more charismatic to do their best with their moves to shine. That’s why my cousin Kyōhei Okita had joined the middle school boys’ basketball team of that school, which I’m very proud of him, and I hope that I can see him ready to shine like how the high schoolers did. He’ll definitely be ready to make his climatic moments running around for sure! I hope that you enjoyed reading this update because this is the first time that the author had posted an update related to THE IDOLM@STER Shiny Colors in the Red Section Series after he had featured me and my fellow groupmates from Hōkago Climax Girls in his birthday update. So, I’m sure that you will always come around to gleam us because whenever he’s posting an update that is related to any of us, he’s ready to make it more thrilling! Anyway, I’ll see you next time on a future update that will feature me and Hōkago Climax Girls and keep showing your smiles through climatic ways, everyone!

UP NEXT: Red Section-Chapter 79: “Witnessing Azuki Hiramatsu’s Compassionated Smile”

The members of Hōkago Climax Girls and Alstroemeria have been surprised when they have seen the basketball athletes from the Hanzōsen High School and Shiodome Gakuen High School while having their lunch break. They were thrilled when they have seen them as they have been able to glimpse themselves in meeting with both Naoya Inuzuka, a member of the Bravehearts of Minato, and Kazuki Arimoto. They also found out that Haruki Kurohara, the cousin of Chiyoko Sonoda, had been friends with Makio Sakurano, which means that they have been connected with each other all along! It’s so awesome that the members of Hōkago Climax Girls and Alstroemeria have been thrilled to get along with these basketball athletes as they finally known with each other for the first time and so, they will hopefully be ready to meet with each other again if they have some time to have some fun with them and develop their friendship with happiness.:) This is the first time that I have posted an update that is related to THE IDOLM@STER Shiny Colors and THE IDOLM@STER series in general. I have been following that series because I have been fascinated to see some cute and compassionated idols that have shined their way as they were very determined to show their voice in making their idol careers blooming and harmonizing. Also, since Chiyoko’s maternal side is most likely in central Tokyo and Chiba due to her born in Chiba, I decided to have this update more centered in Minato where some of her relatives from her maternal side born in central Tokyo. Also, one thing that you find it very coincidental is that some of her relatives like Airi Kurohara and Kyōhei Okita, both members of the Bravehearts of Minato, have been friends with the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.

[Sherwin Riga]

Yesterday was the birthday of Shioriko Mifune of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club from Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. Shioriko is the tenth member that joined NijiGaku after events that occurred in Chapter 17 in Love Live! School Idol Festival All Stars. Shioriko is a serious and undaunting first high school student at the Nijigasaki Academy High School, who for some reason had wanted to abolish the school idol club. She had become the President of the Nijigasaki Academy High School Student Council taking Setsuna Yūki/Nana Nakagawa (CV: Tomori Kusunoki)’s position, so that she can abolish the clubs that she believes hold no merit for the school. It is revealed that rather than personally hating the school idol club, Shiori is just critically thinking about the educational aspects of certain clubs and doing what she feels is right. Although she appeared in SIFAS, she hadn’t appeared in the anime adaption of Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club yet. Shioriko is very different to Yu Takasaki (CV: Hinaki Yano) due to both girls have the same personality of being thrilled and determined, but the difference is that unlike Yu who is always coming out to make thrills with fellow friends from NijiGaku including Ayumu Uehara (CV: Aguri Ōnishi), Shioriko is at first taking her action that she is skeptical to clubs in her opinion, but at the end, she finally gets along with the members of NijiGaku when she joined that group. Shioriko has an older sister in Kaoruko Mifune (CV: Yōko Hikasa). Shioriko is voiced by Moeka Koizumi, who had also been part of Starlight Kukugumi from Revue Starlight as the voice actress of Nana Daiba. Belated happy birthday, Shioriko!:) And before you’ll read this update, this one will be dedicated to Takako Tanaka, Hiromichi Tezuka, Chiemi Tanaka and Rei Shimoda. Takako and Hiromichi have celebrated their birthdays yesterday (October 5) while Chiemi and Rei are currently celebrating their birthdays today (October 6). Born in Fukui, Takako is the voice actress of Hina Nitta (Hinamatsuri), Himari Hirata (Aikatsu Friends), Futago Nosaki (Hitori Bocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu), Alice Carroll (Aikatsu on Parade!), Roana (Interspecies Reviewers), Ophelia (King’s Raid: Successors of the Will) and Rua Nakamachi (Dropout Idol Fruit Tart, representing Cream Anmatsu and the twin sister of Nua Nakamachi (CV: Yu Sasahara)). Coming out from Ibaraki, Hiromichi is the voice actor of Rondo (Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear) and Corporal Tamai (Golden Kamuy). Hailing from Shizuoka, Chiemi is a cute and admiring voice actress being a member of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club as she’s the voice actress of Rina Tennōji from Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. Chiemi is also a member of the four-girl school idol sub-unit QU4RTZ, composed of her, Mayu Sagara (the seiyu of Kasumi Nakasu), Akari Kitō (the seiyu of Kanata Konoe) and Maria Sashide (the seiyu of Emma Verde), and the voice actress of Rinko Oribe (Sakura Quest) and Nikkari Aoe (Tenka Hyakken -Zan-). And last but not the least, born in Saitama, Rei is the voice actress of Aunt Keiko from Maesetsu! I hope that those four will continue making progress of their voice acting careers, especially to Chiemi, who had been charismatic to get along with her fellow NijiGaku members as she keeps her smile to her fans on her side, so that she will be thrilled to perform for sure!;) Belated happy birthday, Takako and Hiromichi, and happy birthday, Chiemi and Rei!:) Now, it’s time to head back to the ward of Ōta for a brand new update of the Red Section Series featuring Asumi Hiramatsu and her cousins from the Hiramatsu clan!:)

Enjoy reading the 79th side chapter of the Red Section Series!:)

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES”
CHAPTER 79: “WITNESSING AZUKI HIRAMATSU’S COMPASSIONATED SMILE”​

Date: May 7, 2010 (Friday)

This side chapter is focused on Azuki Hiramatsu and the cousins of Asumi as they are enjoying their night with Asumi Hiramatsu and her friends during the great banquet that celebrated the development of the friendship between the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka at the hall in the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel.

At the hall in the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel, Azuki Hiramatsu and her fellow cousins, composed of Takuya Hiramatsu, Maki Hiramatsu and Mana Hiramatsu, are in charge of the music section, alongside Kaori Haraguchi, a member of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka, and Shiori Yukimoto, a member of the Bravehearts of Hakata who is resembled to Hinata Hakamada. The music had been filled with harmonious and blissful notes, which makes everyone feeling calm and relaxed.

In one table, Asumi, her siblings, composed of Kana, Ichirō, Takahiro and Sumire, and her fellow friends from the Temperate Celadon are feeling humble to see Azuki doing well while taking charge of the music.

Temperate Celadon: Takashi Okubo, Makoto Sugawara, Tetsuya Ogihara, Akitoshi Hyūgo, Michiaki Ōhara, Toshiaki Ōkawa, Tōru Masamune, Asumi Hiramatsu, Harumi Shimizu, Kanako Kikuchi, Naoko Ichida, Akane Mutō and Tomoko Kusumoto

“How’s the music, Azuki-chan?” asked Asumi.

“It’s pretty good right now, cousin! Everyone is liking it!” said Azuki Hiramatsu, a first year high school student from the Niida Nishi High School. She’s also the classmate of Kazuhisa Nukui, the cousin of Kyō Nukui.

“That’s good! It looks like everyone is getting relaxed and enjoyed with the music that you choose for them including us” said Asumi.

“You’re very good in choosing some kind of music to make it blissful and harmonious” said Kana Hiramatsu, a second year high school student from the Yukigaya High School and the older sister of Asumi.

“Maybe, you could be the music in charge in any future activities in your school” said Ichirō Hiramatsu, a third middle school student from the Niida Nishi Middle School and the older brother of Asumi.

“That way, you’ll be able to make everyone feel excited and hyped to turn up the music” said Takahiro Hiramatsu, a third grade elementary school student from the Shiromidai Elementary School and the younger brother of Asumi.

“Well, I would love to do that if the student council had needed me for the school festival this year. I was recently assigned to be in charge for music for the upcoming sports festival” said Azuki.

“Oh, really?” surprisingly reacted Asumi.

“Yes, I am! The President of the Student Council, Risa Irie, had assigned me as one of the staffers to take charge of the music, which is why I started to make some practice on this by testing the music system that your friends have” said Azuki.

“Yep! Hitomi was originally in charge of this, but she ended up getting along with Megumi and her friends. However, thank goodness that you’re here to be in charge when Megumi saw you earlier” said Asumi.

“Well, honestly, while Hitomi was getting busy, I had approached her, so that I would be the one to take care of the music system, which she appreciated it. Just then, I was joined by Kaori Haraguchi of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka and Shiori Yukimoto of the Bravehearts of Hakata, so that they will be able to help me in choosing the right music” said Azuki.

“That’s right, Azuki-san! I was fascinated that you have been in charge of the music in place of someone from earlier and that’s why I want to have some fun in that” said Kaori Haraguchi, a first year middle school student from the Kashii Gakuen Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka. She had transferred to Kashii Gakuen after being graduated in the Aoba Elementary School.

“I like music too and so, I want to get involved while their original DJ was busy with her friends out there” said Shiori Yukimoto, a first year middle school student from the Aohoshi Gakuen Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Hakata.

“That’s great, girls! I thought that we’re gonna be bored without music when Hitomi was not there, but thank goodness that you’re here!” said Asumi.

“It feels like things have gone harmonious when you stepped to make sure that you’re gonna turn up some music for us” said Kana.

“I hope that it will continue until this event is over, which will be imaginable to make us blessed and inspired” said Ichirō.

“Yeah!” said Azuki, her siblings, composed of Takuya Hiramatsu, Maki Hiramatsu and Mana Hiramatsu, Kaori and Shiori.

“We were fascinated when our older sister taking charge of the music because she had turned up the music to make it more exciting and relaxing” said Mana Hiramatsu, a fourth grade elementary school student from the Yukigaya Elementary School.

“So, we decided to have fun with her to make sure that everyone is here to make themselves comfortable” said Takuya Hiramatsu, a third year middle school student from the Yukigaya Middle School.

“Of course, you’ll be surprised when she had the job to take care with” said Maki Hiramatsu, a first year middle school student from the Yukigaya Middle School.

“Yes, of course!” said Asumi and the members of the Temperate Celadon.

“Everyone had their own blessings to show with and with your music had been paid off, they’re happy to make themselves comfortable” said Asumi.

“I say that it will be great that everyone can make some music to relax and so, it’s going to be awesome that everything will be harmonious to make this event a night to remember” said Harumi Shimizu.

“Yep! It’s going to be more fun to enjoy big moments for tonight because this is the part where they will make friends together” said Takashi Okubo.

“And we’ll do whatever it takes to show some respect with each other” said Makoto Sugawara.

“Yeah!” said Azuki, her siblings and Kaori and Shiori.

Hitomi would arrive a few seconds later to meet with Azuki. “Oh, it’s my turn to take charge for the music, Azuki-san.”

“Oh, sure, I would be glad to!” said Azuki.

“Okay! Just call me if you can take charge of the music again” said Hitomi.

“You got it!” said Azuki as she, her siblings, Kaaori and Shiori would be leaving the sound system area, so that they will be talking with Asumi and the members of the Temperate Celadon.

“So, how’s doing well so far in school?” said Asumi.

“It looked good since the classes were resumed yesterday and I have a lot of assignments to deal with, especially the one in English” said Azuki.

“Ah, I see! I’m sure that you’ll be able to finish those before you’ll do anything because you should be more confident in becoming an honor student one day” said Asumi.

“Yes, I agree! I’m always good to take care of my studies and I’m feeling confident that I can do anything to get high scores on those” said Azuki.

“That’s good! Just make sure that you have to work hard if you want to pass all subjects in flying colors” said Asumi.

“Yes, I will!” said Azuki.

“By the way, Azuki-san, my friends and I have known about the relationship between the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka where it became so fascinated to see both groups getting developed on their relationship since last week” said Asumi.

“Oh, I didn’t know that this one had happened before!” said Azuki.

“We haven’t seen those before unless if they have the distance between them” said Takuya.

“Well, their history is more of a different story because Subaru and Kazuhiro have known with each other when Subaru was with his father visiting Fukuoka. Then, it became coincidental is that Kazuhiro was a friend of Subaru’s father because the latter had trained the former to be a phenomenal superstar, which is why both Subaru and Kazuhiro have known with each other since then” said Asumi.

“They have met with each other in Fukuoka many times, but when they only met with each other in Tokyo a few times” said Harumi.

“One of the best moments about their encounter in Tokyo was when the Kashii Gakuen Middle School boys’ basketball team had their campaign two years ago” said Takashi.

“This is the part where Subaru and Kazuhiro have gotten with each for two weeks, which includes the Middle School Basketball Tournament itself” said Makoto.

“Their friendship had been very close, but this is also the sign that one day when they will meet each other again, they will show their friend groups, so that they will get along with each other” said Tetsuya Ogihara.

“Which it finally happened last week” said Kanako Kikuchi.

“When the Bravehearts of Fukuoka have visited Tokyo for the first time for the streetball tournament, which Kazuhiro’s team tried their best, but they didn’t win the tournament” said Naoko Ichida.

“Then, they would finally visit this place to meet with Subaru and his friends on their first meeting” said Akitoshi Hyūgo.

“Fortunately, this would be their second meeting between each other because this time, it is for the Ōta Blue Wind Cup” said Michiaki Ōhara.

“Everything is getting harmonious right now in the Misawa Resort Hotel with a lot of people wanting to have fun and give themselves some smile and peace with each other” said Akane Mutō.

“Especially, a lot of guests from Kyushu are getting enjoyed in making their little vacation brighter than they expected” said Tomoko Kusumoto.

“You got that right, Tomoko-san! When both groups have known with each other, their relationship had been blooming right from the start and then, they became very close after the Bravehearts of Fukuoka have shown some support for Subaru when he and his team, the Rainbow Angels, are down big against Ryuuichi’s team in the final of the boys’ tournament of the Fuchsia and Celadon Dragons Tournament” said Toshiaki Ōkawa.

“As a result, their relationship had been developed, which is why they have held this celebration right now” said Tōru Masamune.

“There’s an analogue that when Subaru became friends with Kazuhiro, their braveheart groups became friends with each other as well!” said Kana.

“The Bravehearts of Ōta had already became friends with the Bravehearts of Nagoya, which means that they have started to make new allies in making friends with different braveheart groups” said Ichirō.

“Of course, the Bravehearts of Fukuoka became the second group that the Bravehearts of Ōta have befriended with” said Takahiro.

“Everyone is considering the Bravehearts of Ōta became the fastest braveheart group to befriend a braveheart group that is not from Tokyo, which is pretty ironic, but hopefully, they will make friends with their neighboring groups one day” said Sumire Hiramatsu, a seven-year old girl who is the youngest sister of Asumi.

“Ah, I see! I’m so surprised that both groups have seen each other very quickly to become friends” said Azuki.

“The friendship between Subaru and Kazuhiro became very special at all, which means that they show their smiles with each other when they met together” said Takuya.

“Even they have brought their friends” said Maki.

“Which they were more generous and more admired to make themselves comfortable to show some support for these two” said Mana.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Asumi, her siblings and the members of the Temperate Celadon.

“So, I believe that there’s a big connection between Subaru and Kazuhiro because they have known with each other since they have met the most, which means that they have their own link to create with” said Azuki.

“That’s right, Azuki-chan! Due to that, they created the connection tree between the two groups, thus it had been more of a family of friends because not only those have been very close with each other, but most of us have started to become connected with those from the Bravehearts of Fukuoka at the same time” said Asumi.

“Yep! I got the chance to meet you, Asumi-san, because this is our first time that we have met with each other since I had joined the Bravehearts of Fukuoka” said Kaori.

“Oh, I see! So, you must be part of that group?” reacted Asumi.

“Yes, I am!” said Kaori.

“How did you make it to that group?” asked Harumi.

“Well, I joined the Bravehearts of Fukuoka as part of the agreement where newly-recruited players in the Kashii Gakuen Middle School girls’ basketball team can get their opportunity to join that group directly. As I’m one of them, I’m strongly confident that I’ll be ready to help Keiko and her friends to make the community in Higashi getting stronger with more bonds of friendship” said Kaori.

“Ah, that’s magnificent! I’m glad that you have been part of that group because it made you so thrilled that you’re now part of that family, so that you’ll be able to make yourself comfortable to represent that group” said Harumi.

“You’ll be more delighted to contribute with them, so that you’ll be more blessed and inspired just like how our friends do” said Asumi.

“Yeah, I will do it for them!” said Kaori.

“It feels great that you had been part of that group because when I had first time joined that group, I’m very flanked by my friends out there, especially to Satomi Akimoto, who had given me some advice every time that I want to learn something to make new friends. As a result, I’m feeling grateful to be with them, especially that I’m taking charge of the human resources group” said Shiori.

“Well, good for you! I should be more oriented on that if I want to be more active in recruiting new members to join the Bravehearts of Fukuoka. I’m very interested in making friends just like you and so, I will be happy if I will contribute for them without hesitation” said Kaori.

“Okay, then, I hope that you’ll be able to work hard in representing your group because one day, you’ll make yourself earned to get it done for them” said Shiori.

“Yeah, I agree!” said Kaori.

“Now, back to what I’m saying, the Bravehearts of Ōta had their comparisons with the Bravehearts of Fukuoka, based on their resemblance between them” said Asumi.

“For example, Tomoka had been resembled to Keiko because both girls are the leading girls” said Takashi.

“As they want to lead alongside their leaders every when they are representing themselves” said Harumi.

“The other examples are Maho and Miho, Saki and Hisako, Airi and Sana, Hinata and Miwako, Mimi and Mika, Kagetsu and Toyoko, Tsubaki and Kaoru, Hiiragi and Hatsuko, Masami and Yō and last but not the least, Natsuhi and Yasuhisa” said Makoto.

“The connection tree between the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka had been divided into different groups, which is based on the comparison that our friends mentioned earlier” said Tetsuya.

“One example of this is the connection group between Subaru and Kazuhiro where their friends have been allied to them” said Kanako.

“The Blue Verdant Fukuoka and the Luminous Camellia were part of it, but they also got their associates whether they’re coming from the basketball team or not” said Akitoshi.

“That’s why they have assembled their own group, so that they will be able to start their bond of friendship whenever they will meet here or online, but in occasional way” said Kana.

“The more people that they want to hang out with them, the better that they will make their friendship even better” said Ichirō.

“Ah, we get it now” said Azuki, Takuya, Maki and Mana.

“I believe that their connection is more harmonious than I have expected” said Azuki.

“Those two have been good enough to show their smiles with each other, so that they will develop their friendship together like the way it should be” said Takuya.

“It feels like they’re going to make both Bravehearts of Ōta and Bravehearts of Fukuoka very close with each other because they have known about their secret for a long time and it’s going to be great that they will be able to share their blessings and inspirations with each other” said Maki.

“That way, they will be amazing to have their good relationship between each other getting better since we saw them last week” said Mana.

“You’re exactly right about that! As a member of the Bravehearts of Ōta, I’m very surprised when I had saw that because they’re very recognized by anyone on their side and I was so fascinated to see their smiles as they make themselves blissful” said Asumi.

“I’m so glad that things have been getting better for both of them since they have been connected through the friendship between Subaru and Kazuhiro and I hope that it’s gonna continue their friendship without a doubt” said Kaori.

“Unlike the other braveheart groups that have been connected with each other based on their neighborhood, this one is very rare to see unless if anything is special just like what Asumi and her friends mentioned said, which means that it will be more shocked to see that and it would be counted as a braveheart-braveheart relationship” said Shiori.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Asumi, her siblings and cousins and the members of the Temperate Celadon.

“By the way, cousin, are you and Kaori have been resembled with each other?” asked Azuki.

“I didn’t know that you two have the same hair color, but with different clothing” said Takuya.

“Ah, yes, we are!” said Asumi and Kaori.

“The two of us have the same hair color in red, but the main difference is that I’m one year younger than her” said Asumi.

“That’s right, Asumi-san! I’m a first year middle school student, which means that I’m older than her” said Kaori.

“Yeah, of course!” said Asumi.

“Oh, I see. I guess that you must be younger than her, cousin, because you two were on different level” said Azuki.

“Which means that you two have your own goals to settle with” said Takuya.

“Yes, we have” said Asumi and Kaori.

“I’m one year away from going to middle school and I have to get it done if I want to make it next year” said Asumi.

“For me, since I have entered middle school, I have many challenges to get on with, which means that anything needs to be done if I can do it for myself” said Kaori.

“Well, you have your own challenges, based on your level of learning, which means that you have to excel yourselves if you want to get passed in all subjects, so that you girls will move up to another level” said Maki.

“It will be amazing that one day, there will be a quiz bee going to happen to see who the smarter person is, but it may be different to know what really gets the last laugh, I think” said Mana.

“Yeah, of course!” said Asumi and Kaori.

“Subaru had been very good in organizing activities, but maybe, if he can settle a quiz show, that’s going to be perfect for the two of us to compete against each other” said Asumi.

“That way, it’s going to be competitive for sure!” said Kaori.

“Well, you girls are expecting to face against each other in a quiz off, but we haven’t seen that yet though. Any leader of a braveheart group had the power to organize activities that will energize everyone and they also have the power to collaborate with different braveheart groups, so that it will be more exciting that you will see for sure!” said Shiori.

“Oh, we understand now, Shiori-san” said Asumi and Kaori.

“I say that we will wait for Subaru and Kazuhiro to plan on that one day” said Asumi.

“If anyone is interested on this, then it will be amazing to see a bigger competition like you have never seen before” said Kaori.

“Yeah, I hope so, girls” said Shiori.

“By the way, in case you’re wondering, Subaru and Kazuhiro have their plans about what to do for tomorrow’s last day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week” said Kaori.

“Oh, how did you know?” asked Asumi.

“I was wondering about that” said Azuki.

“You know about this?” asked Shiori.

“Yep! The big feast will be very important for tomorrow’s event, which means that they will be planning to bring some food for every group, so that they will prepare for tomorrow night’s activities” said Kaori.

“That’s interesting, Kaori-san! I believe that we need to be more prepared to close out this festivity because it will be awesome that everyone will be gathering around to enjoy the last day with their smiles and joys never been lost” said Asumi.

“Everyone is excited about the last day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week as this is going to be more blissful and harmonious to witness those!” said Azuki.

“Yeah, you’re right about that, girls! That’s why it will be more fantastic that you should be there, so that you’ll be able to celebrate the end of the festivity before your very eyes” said Kaori.

“The fireworks activity will be the most important event to cap off this wonderful festivity, which I hope that you’re all ready for this” said Shiori.

“Yeah!” said Asumi, her siblings and cousins and the members of the Temperate Celadon.

“So, I would be expecting to see a lot of guests not only from our hometown, but those from Kyushu will be ready to witness those to finally kick off the Era of Fuchsia and Celadon” said Asumi.

“It will be a day to remember to end the Fuchsia and Celadon Week, which means that we’re all prepared to set sights on a new era in Ōta” said Harumi.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Kaori and Shiori.

“Ah, I have to say that it’s a great night for all of us to enjoy this celebration. You think, cousin?” said Azuki.

“Yeah, me too, Azuki-chan! I’m so pumped up for tomorrow’s event, which means that it’s going to be amazing that everyone is ready to do their best in making that day even more bloomer than ever” said Asumi.

“It’s all about the smiles and joys that everyone shown themselves for the Fuchsia and Celadon Week and so, they’ll bless and inspire everyone after that festivity is over” said Harumi.

“I’m expecting to see more changes to come in Ōta when the new era progresses throughout the year” said Takashi.

“Ōta had been blissful and harmonious with many cultures have been changed from time to time, despite the struggles, but I believe that they will still have their hope to for them to make the community getting better than before” said Kana.

“So, hopefully, it will continue to do those things because this is what they do to make their future getting brighter and give themselves some blessings and inspirations for sure!” said Ichirō.

“Yeah!” said Kaori, Shiori, Takuya, Maki, Mana, Takahiro, Sumire and the members of the Temperate Celadon.

“It’s about time for everyone in Ōta just like the way they used to as they’re all set to bless and inspire everyone in that place” said Kaori.

“So that, they will be able create their future that everyone witnesses for themselves” said Shiori.

“Yeah!” said Asumi, Harumi, Takashi, Kana, Ichirō and Azuki.

Hitomi would call out Azuki as she had a plan to collaborate with her. “Hey, Azuki-san! I need you to work with me!”

“Oh, sure, Hitomi-san, I would love to!” said Azuki.

“There you go, cousin! Just make sure that you will make this place more harmonious than everyone expected!” said Asumi.

“You got it, Asumi-san!” said Azuki before heading to the sound system area. She puts her headphones, so that she can turn up the music with Hitomi. “Now, let’s enjoy this party that you will never forget!”

“Yeah!” said Hitomi, Asumi, Kaori, Shiori, the siblings of Asumi and Azuki and the members of the Temperate Celadon as Azuki finally changes the song in the sound system to make it more harmonious for everyone to get relaxed and enjoyed while celebrating the development of the friendship between the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka. It’s been a great night for Azuki and her siblings as they have been able to know the history of the friendship between Subaru and Kazuhiro as well as their connection to their braveheart groups, the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka, so that they believe that this friendship had been more of a special one. Azuki and her siblings are very determined that the relationship between the two braveheart groups have become the pinnacle of making both groups getting close to make sure that they will shine together for everyone with their blessings.

Hello, everyone! My name is Rina Tennōji of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and I’m here to share about the connection circle of Rina Aonuma, a member of the Bravehearts of Minato. Before I’ll share that, I will explain about what that connection circle is. The connection circle is a special circle group that is composed of friend groups and allies that have been closed to any member of the Bravehearts of Minato and how they have developed their relationship with them. Now that you have learned about what the connection circles of Shinako, Azusa, Kōji and Momo, which they were all shared by Ayumu, Ai and Setsuna, then you’re all here to gleam what the connection circle of Rina would be like. Of course, when you hear her first name ‘Rina’, they thought that they’re referring to me, but there are other girls who named ‘Rina’ in different braveheart groups. As a result, I called Rina as ‘Na-tan’ to prevent confusion with my nickname, which is ‘Rina-chan’. Anyway, her connection circle could be connected to the Shibaura Lily Smile, led by Fumiko Iwatsuki. Na-tan and the Shibaura Lily Smile have been very close with each other, thus they have a compact friendship with each other whenever they have organized activities that shined Shibaura. One thing that you find it very interesting is that Na-tan had interested in music, which she had fascinated my group, NijiGaku, through our PR videos. As a result, I had become friends with Na-tan, who had been fascinated to see me perform through my heart. Na-tan had also liked J-pop songs, especially she liked to listen to songs that are performed by idol groups such as AKB48, Morning Musume and Lucky2. Aside from music, Na-tan and her friends from the Shibaura Lily Smile likes to eat grilled dishes because they love to eat them for dinner. Their favorite grilled dish is torikatsu as they were fascinated to see them fried and golden, so that they will eat those for themselves. I always like eat some grilled foods other than spicier foods because I have enjoyed eating those with my fellow club members. It feels great that Na-tan and her friends have enjoyed together to make sure that they will be able to have blessings to get with. On the other hand, Na-tan had become friends with Rena Hirabayashi, the leader of the Garnet and White Lily, due to them being interested into one interest: flowers. They like to bloom flowers by growing them in their respective homes. They have also gathered with their respective groups to visit the parks in Odaiba every week where they like to see the sun shining above them. It’s so awesome that they have been able to develop their friendship because they have shown their smiles and joys to make them feel good and they have blessed with each other as they became close after all. Na-tan had her own cousin named Kazuya Aonuma, who is a teammate of Junsei Fukuhara, and he had become friends with his own connection circle too such as Shunsuke Kojima, who is his best friend in his class section 1-5, the Sparkling Mauve, led by Nobuyuki Hiraiwa, who is more resembled to my cousin Junichi Tennōji. I like the way Na-tan did to make her friends and allies being blessed and inspired, so that they will be able to groom her to be a blessed braveheart. I always like to smile on her because she had been dazzling her way to make sure that she will thrill with her happy face. Now that I have done sharing the connection circle of Na-tan, the next connection circle will be for Hinako Ōsaka, the cousin of my fellow club member Shizuku Ōsaka, which means that Shizuku will be explaining this one as she will be very admired to her cousin when she had gleamed her cousin’s friends on her side. That one will be posted on October 20 (Wednesday) and it’s going to be more thrilling to see this one when you’ll come back for another postscript message from our school idol club! Until then, I’ll see you next time on a future update that will feature me and the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and make yourself a big smile to gleam, everyone! Rina-chan Board: Smile!

UP NEXT: Red Section-Chapter 80: “The Crimson Arrow Connection that Runs Together, Stays Together”

Azuki had been charismatic and determined that she had been in charge of the music for the great banquet while Hitomi Takao was having a meeting with her friends including Megumi Kadokawa. Of course, this made Asumi, Kaori and Shiori being relaxed and enjoyed while celebrating the development of the friendship between the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka, which means that they finally have developed their friendship between them. Azuki felt compassionated that she had known about the friendship between Subaru and Kazuhiro including the connection between them and their braveheart groups. Of course, she’s very determined that the friendship between the two braveheart leaders is a sign of true bond of closed friendship between their braveheart groups and so, she’s very thrilled to see them shining together to bring everyone their blessings for sure. Hopefully, Azuki will be ready to inspire the Bravehearts of Ōta if she was needed by her cousin Asumi for future activities, so that she will indulge herself to be with her and her friends.:) By the way, before I posted this update, a few weeks ago, I changed the surname of Kaori Haraguchi from 'Haranaka' to 'Haraguchi' to prevent confusion with fellow member Rieko Haranaka. Kaori and Reiko are not related with each other due to them being represented by their own schools: the Kashii Gakuen Middle School for Kaori and Matsushima Elementary School for Reiko. As a result, I will use 'Haraguchi' for Kaori Haraguchi in future updates that will feature her as well as her fellow members of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka. The next update will be focused on the third member of the Gosanaki Trio, Yasushi Shionji, as he would be joined by not only his siblings, but his cousins as they are going to meet with each other while celebrating the development of the friendship between the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka. I have posted the two updates that are related to the Gosanaki Trio last month (Shimako Tagami in Chapter 73 and Hinata Kiyama in Chapter 77) and so, the next update will be more of a valiant encounter between Yasushi and his relatives, which means that it will be more exciting to see those and hopefully, you’re all prepared for this to make them more thrilled and determined. Get ready when this next update is coming out on October 10 (Sunday)!;) Also, I will be posting the schedule of the next set of updates that will be posted for this month and next month (November), so that you will be able to get notified on those for yourself as the Red Section Series continues to progress once more!:) I’ll see you on October 10 (Sunday) for the next update of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts!

 

[Sherwin Riga]

Hi, everyone!:) I'm not very satisfied right now with the view counts of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts getting declining once again because my rivalry against another user had been escalated recently as his story had also posted its recent update a few hours after I have posted mine, which means I'm not happy when I looked at the view counts earlier, thus it's going to be tough for me to beat him with the view counts between two stories in this forum.:( Of course, if you want to read the previous update, which is focused on Asumi Hiramatsu and her cousin Azuki getting along with Kaori Haraguchi of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka and Shiori Yukimoto of the Bravehearts of Hakata, I recommend you to read this before or after reading today's update because it will be amazing to make this series getting more view counts against my rival's story and hopefully, I will redeem myself from that when I'll be posting another update of this series for sure.:) For now, it's going to be a competition that I have to battle against, but for today, I will be posting today's update that will feature Yasushi Shionji, a member of the Bravehearts of Ōta and one-third of the Gosanaki Trio, as he will be joined by his friends from the Sagisō Ekudo and his relatives and cousins in celebrating the development of the friendship between the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka, but before that, it's to time to see who are celebrating their birthdays this weekend as here comes the birthday corner!:) Yesterday (October 9) was the birthday of Mana Nagase of IDOLY PRIDE and tomorrow (October 11) will be the birthday of Subaru Hasegawa of Ro-Kyu-Bu! Sayaka is an idol representing Hoshimi Production until she died in a road accident on her way to the Venus Grand Prix finals, devastating the people around her, and inspires some of them to become idol at the same time. She had a younger sister Kotono (CV: Mirai Tachibana), who ended up leading alongside Sakura Kawasaki (CV: Mai Kanno) for Hoshimi Production. On the other hand, Subaru is considered one of my favorite male protagonists I have seen. He is the male protagonist of Ro-Kyu-Bu! and he is considered one of the top players in his hometown in Tokyo for his game changing layup. If I want to compare someone who can match the level of Subaru Hasegawa, Subaru can be compared to Crispin John ‘CJ’ Cansino, a good friend of mine from my high school days in De La Salle Araneta University and a basketball player playing for the University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons men’s basketball team, because both Subaru and CJ are good in making their own shots that drives the ball into the basket. Mana is voiced by Sayaka Kanda while Subaru is voiced by Yūki Kaji, who is also the voice actor of Issei Hyodo (High School DxD), Clemont (Pokémon XY) and Rentarō Satomi (Black Bullet). Belated happy birthday, Mana and advanced happy birthday, Subaru!:) And before you’ll read this update, this one will be dedicated to Yukari Nozawa, Sae Ōtsuka, Seirō Ogino, Seena Hoshiki and Tomokazu Sugita. Yukari had celebrated her birthday yesterday (October 9), Sae and Seirō are currently celebrating their birthdays today (October 10) while Seena and Tomokazu will be celebrating their birthdays tomorrow (October 11). Born in Niigata, Yurkari is the voice actress of Nagomi Kinoshita, the maternal grandmother of Kazuya Kinoshita (CV: Shun Horie), of Rent-a-Girlfriend. Coming out from Kanagawa, Sae is a voice actress and singer and member of Poppin’ Party as she is the voice actress of Tae Hanazono, a guitarist, of BanG Dream! She’s also the voice actress of Nagisa Tsukimiyama, who is a member of Rondo, of D4DJ series. She is connected to Raychell, the voice actress of Raise A Suilen’s Rei Wakana. Hailing from Tokyo, Seirō is the voice actor of Calos Ali of Maesetsu! Born in Fukuoka, Seena is a voice actress and singer that formerly represented for AŌP, who have recently been disbanded this year, and voiced for Riamu Yumemi of THE IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls and Chino Futaba from Ongaku Gensaku Character Project -Dennonbu-. Riamu is one of my favorite characters of THE IDOLM@STER because she’s way too passionate and admired to sing through her beautiful voice as she’s representing for the 346 Production. And coming out from Saitama, Tomokazu is the voice actor of Gintoki Sakata (Gintama), Kyon (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya), Joseph Joestar (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure), Yusuke Kitagawa (Persona 5) and Takuya (AFTERLOST). I hope that those five will continue making progress of their voice acting careers, especially to Sae and Seena as they are going to continue shining themselves to make themselves thrilled and earned for sure!;) Belated happy birthday, Yukari, happy birthday, Sae, Seirō, Seena and Tomokazu!:) Now, onto today’s update featuring Yasushi Shionji and his friends from the Sagisō Ekudo as they are here to celebrate the development of the friendship between the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka!:)

The next update of the Red Section Series will be focused on Yasushi Shionji and his friends from his group, the Sagisō Ekudo, as they will be joined by his cousins where they will be celebrating the development of the friendship between the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka together. They will be talking about the family connection of Yasushi where he had his roots from the Shionji clan and the other clans that they have been connected to the former in various cities including Ōta and Tachikawa. You’ll be ready to see the secrets of those, so that you’ll be able to know those after you have finished reading this update. So, it’s going to be fantastic that it’s all about the legacy and fame of Yasushi’s roots as it will be more of a connecting story to witness for sure!;) Now, get ready to see all of those because here comes the 80th side chapter of the Red Section Series with the title, “The Crimson Arrow Connection that Runs Together, Stays Together”! Enjoy reading the 80th side chapter of the Red Section Series!:)

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES”
CHAPTER 80: “THE CRIMSON ARROW CONNECTION THAT RUNS TOGETHER, STAYS TOGETHER”​

Date: May 7, 2010 (Friday)

This side chapter is focused on the cousins of Yasushi Shoinji, composed of Kusuo Shionji, Yoshikuni Shionji, Koya Shionji, Mikiko Todoroki and Kaede Todoroki, as they are meeting with Yasushi during the great banquet that celebrated the development of the friendship between the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka at the hall in the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel. Not only Yasushi’s cousins are mostly coming from Tachikawa, but some have lived in Kamata and Yaguchi.

At the hall in the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel, Yasushi and his friends from the Sagisō Ekudo are playing Uno cards in a card game as they always used to do that when they have finished their assignments together. They will be joined by Yasushi’s siblings, composed of Yūta, Yuka and Yūmi, and their cousin Hisayo.

The Shield of Sagisō ‘Sagisō Ekudo’: Mika Okazaki, Banri Sakurai, Fujio Ajima, Sumika Maeyama, Kazuhisa Kajino, Yukina Akitomi, Aya Kobayashi, Akihiro Kichise, Shun Hagio, Morio Kanemoto, Yukio Yuma, Kei Hayakawa, Mariko Okada, Mao Uemura, Issei Watanabe and Fumi Arima

“What do you think?” asked Hisayo Shionji, the cousin of Yasushi Shionji.

Fujio is very unlucky when he had a lot of cards in his hand because he picked too much, compared to his fellow groupmates. “I give up!” Fujio drops all cards to the table to call a sign of defeat.

“Wow! You got too many cards and then, you didn’t able to put the cards out there” said Mika.

“You, Kazuhisa and Yukina are battling for the wooden spoon after we’re all done” said Banri.

“Man, you should learn how not to quit, Fujio-san, because you have to find a good strategy to get out of the game” said Sumika.

“You have to survive this game if you don’t want to quit. I used to do that many times when we’re playing Uno cards” said Aya.

“Well, I should not quit this game earlier, but I don’t want to waste my time in picking the right card to get away from it” said Fujio.

“Of course, you should, Fujio. All of us can’t quit because we should not lose our faith because if you do, you’ll not be able to get the job done” said Yasushi.

“You better not quit if you want to keep your faith into your hands” said Mika.

“Otherwise, you won’t be able to play Uno cards with us again” said Hisayo.

“Yeah, I should” said Fujio.

“So, are you coming back to the game?” asked Kazuhisa.

“We’re waiting for your turn to be done” said Yukina.

“Okay, then!” said Fujio.

Later, as Yasushi, his siblings and his friends from the Sagisō Ekudo are watching Fujio, Kazuhisa and Yukina on who will be finishing up with no cards first, they would be interrupted by a male voice coming out from the entrance of the hall.

“Yasu-san!”

“Huh? Who’s that?” asked Mika.

“I don’t know, Mika, but I’ll be right back” said Yasushi.

“Okay!” said Yūta, Yuka, Yūmi, Hisayo and the members of the Sagisō Ekudo.

Yasushi would go to the entrance to who the guests will be and to his surprise, it was revealed to be his cousins, composed of Kusuo Shionji, Yoshikuni Shionji, Koya Shionji, Mikiko Todoroki and Kaede Todoroki. Kusuo is a second year middle school student, Yoshikuni is a third year middle school student, Koya is a second year high school student, Mikiko is a first year middle school student and Kaede is a third year middle school student. Kusuo, Yoshikuni, Mikiko and Kaede are studying at the Iriarai Middle School while Koya is studying at the Iriarai High School. These cousins of Yasushi are coming from the Shionji clan where his father Yoshihiro came from. One of them who shouted Yasushi earlier is Koya.

“Oh, what do you know? My cousins from my clan are finally here!” said Yasushi.

“That’s right, Yasu-san! We’re about to go back home when there are a lot of people coming out from nowhere have entered the mansion for something” said Koya Shionji. Kusuo, Yoshikuni and Koya’s father Kunimasa Shionji is the brother of Yoshitaro Shionji.

“And that’s why we decided to go there to see what’s inside” said Yoshikuni Shionji.

“And to our surprise, it was just for the special celebration between the two braveheart groups for their friendship” said Kaede Todoroki. Mikiko and Kaede’s mother Maika Todoroki is the sister of Yoshitaro Shionji.

“It looks like this one may be special because someone had organized this” said Mikiko Todoroki.

“That’s why we decided to join with you, so that we’ll able to celebrate together” said Kusuo Shionji.

“Well, that’s good, guys! And in case on what’s going on, the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka have organized their special event, which is the great banquet to celebrate their friendship that started last week” said Yasushi.

“Ah, I see!” said Kusuo, Yoshikuni, Koya, Mikiko and Kaede.

“So, that’s what everyone is going to that place for something special” said Kusuo.

“Something that they didn’t about this before” said Yoshikuni.

“But it’s going to be fantastic to witness this since you have your friends from that group” said Mikiko.

“Yep! I had made a few friends from the Bravehearts of Ōta such as Subaru and Hinata. I ended up joining that group as an associate, but I hope that I become a permanent member of that group, so that I will be able to get involved with them for more” said Yasushi.

“Ah, that’s good! I’m so glad that you are getting involved in helping everyone on that group to make sure that they’ll be motivating for you” said Koya.

“Hopefully, you’ll be able to represent that group when you’ll become a permanent member of that group for sure” said Kaede.

“Yes, I will!” said Yasushi. “Come on, guys! I’ll meet you some friends of mine, so that you’ll be able to know about them!”

“Okay!” said Kusuo, Yoshikuni, Koya, Mikiko and Kaede as they will be accompanied by Yasushi, so that they will be excited to meet his friends from the Sagisō Ekudo.

At the table, the siblings of Yasuhiro and the members of the Sagisō Ekudo are still watching Fujio, Kazuhisa and Yukina on who will be the first to leave without cards.

Yasuhiro would shout to his friends “Hey, guys!”

“Oh, there you are, brother!” said Yūta Shionji.

“I can’t believe that you had accompanied them!” said Yuka Shionji.

“Sounds like they’ll be here to add some fun for tonight!” said Yūmi Shionji.

“Yep! These are my cousins of mine from my father’s family” said Yasushi.

“Whoa! That was surprising!” said Banri.

“I can’t believe that you have cousins in your side!” said Mika.

“I’m so shocked that you’re not alone after all!” said Sumika.

“Yes, I am, Sumika! My family had lived in Ōmori Minami, but my father had his own family origin in Kamata and Yaguchi, which is why my relatives have lived there” said Yasushi.

“Interesting. I didn’t know that you had your relatives living in your neighborhood” said Mika.

“Which will be looked good if you have assembled your own team” said Banri.

“That would be great you and your cousins will work together as one” said Sumika.

“Probably, but as you can see, my family is more oriented in showing their compassion, which is why we’re determined to make the difference, so that me and my relatives will always be there to shine. As soon as we want to do something big, we can make the difference like the way it should be. Right, guys?” said Yasushi.

“Yeah!” said the siblings and cousins of Yasushi.

“It’s so great that you guys are here just because you want to see something sparkling and booming for tonight with Yasushi being an associate of the Bravehearts of Ōta” said Mika.

“And it would be amazing that you guys will be here to represent for him” said Banri.

“Which will be very awesome to see that!” said Sumika.

“Yeah, we agree, guys! We want to make sure that we’ll be coming out for the Shionji clan, but also we want to shine our way ever since this clan was born a stronger one in the past” said Koya.

“The Shionji clan was originated in Kamata where our patriarch Yasuhiro Shionji started this by marrying Hisako Kusuda” said Kaede.

“And they have ended up raising 8 children” said Mikiko.

“Which includes Yoshitaro, Kunimasa and Maika” said Yoshikuni.

“As a result, since we're all related with each other through that clan, we want to do whatever it takes to show our pride and courage in our hometown” said Kusuo.

“Ah, we get it now!” said the members of the Sagisō Ekudo.

“I'm liking this thrilling beat when you're representing that clan!” said Mika.

“That's what I like to call 'proving yourself to honor for that clan’, thanks to your determination out there!” said Banri.

“I'm so great that you guys have been a great job in making your clan prospering for more!” said Sumiko.

“I'm sure that you're all get earned by the end of the day if you have done something unimaginable” said Aya.

“Yeah!” said Yasushi, his siblings and his cousins.

“Anyone can do for our clan because that's what we run this place together!” said Yasushi.

“We're very determined to show our representation in front of our friends like you” said Yūta.

“We will make sure that nobody will our hopes and dreams that will disappoint our clan because this is what we do…” said Yuka.

“…our make our family running with our compassionated hearts” said Yūmi.

“You will be more delighted if you will make us blessed and inspired for sure!” said Yasushi.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Sagisō Ekudo.

“Now, shall we start this conversation, so that we will make this night that we will never forget?” asked Yasushi.

“There are a lot of things to discover for sure!” said Yūta.

“Sure!” said Kusuo, Yoshikuni, Koya, Mikiko and Kaede.

“Aw, man! We're supposed to finish this game!” said Fujio.

“I’m only two tickets away to get out of this game!” said Kazuhisa.

“Yeah, me too! I don’t want to quit this time!” said Yukina.

“Well, we can continue this later after the conversation” said Yasushi.

“That way, we’ll finish this one before we’ll start all over again, but this time, my cousins might be interested to join the fun later on” said Yuka.

“For right now, you should join with us for our conversation, which this one will be very interesting” said Yūmi.

“Okay, then, I’m in!” said Fujio.

“You can count on me, guys!” said Kazuhisa.

“I would love to be part of it!” said Yukina.

“That’s good!” said Yasushi.

“If everyone’s set, then let’s get this going!” said Yūta.

“Okay!” said the members of the Sagisō Ekudo and the cousins of Yasushi.

“So, how you guys being influenced through their origins?” asked Aya.

“That’s a question, Aya! You see, our clan been influenced through differences all over the country, but when it comes to the very close ones, they have the most pride and honor ones that they prospered for many years” said Yasushi.

“While Ōta is technically the home of the Shionji clan, there are different places that they have also settled those from one place to another” said Yūta.

“But since we’re going to focused on our families, then good thing that you’re all here!” said Yuka.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Sagisō Ekudo and the cousins of Yasushi.

“In my family, my mother Yasue had used to live in Tachikawa in her youth days before she ended up marrying my father and moved to Ōta” said Yasushi.

“Yasue came from the Hashigami family, which means that the four of us have been connected with them” said Yūta.

“One thing that you find it very bizarre is that one of their clansmen in Shigeyoshi Hashigami is a member of the Bravehearts of Tachikawa because he is a friend of Sango Takagawa, the leader of that group” said Yuka.

“Shigeyoshi had been elected to the Kurotori Gakuen High School Student Council as the secretary, but also played for the boys’ basketball team of that school” said Yūmi.

“Wow! I was surprised that you had a relative who is a member of that braveheart group!” said Kusuo.

“This is very interesting! It looks like you have found a relative from your maternal side that had some ambitions to bless and inspire everyone” said Yoshikuni.

“It feels great that you have been thrilled that you have him being a relative and a braveheart” said Koya.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Yasushi, Yūta, Yuka and Yūmi.

“My maternal side had been prospered just like our clan because they have done a lot of contributions that they have done such as helping with their neighbors and developing new friendships with their allies” said Yasushi.

“They’re always determined to do their jobs if they want to be blessed and inspired, which means that they have their own hearts to do their best as they’re striving for their dreams” said Yūta.

“Ah, that’s good! I have to say that those guys are doing their best to make themselves earned” said Kusuo.

“I say that they have their own hopes and dreams to take up with as they have their own confidence in making those fulfilled one day” said Yoshikuni.

“Hopefully, they’ll continue to do that with their own representation, which means that they’ll keep prospering their community like the way we did for our hometown” said Koya.

“Yes, they will!” said Yasushi, Yūta, Yuka and Yūmi.

“So, Yasushi, how you and your siblings became influenced with those people in Tachikawa?” asked Fujio.

“I heard that you have your friends out there in that place, which means that it might be very interesting that you can name them all” said Kazuhisa.

“That way, we’ll remember their names for sure!” said Banri.

“Oh, sure, I would be glad to!” said Yasushi. “One of the things that I have done when I was in Tachikawa, which I went there every month to meet my mother’s siblings, is where I started to make friends with Tatsuhisa Takasaki, a protege coming from the Kurotori Gakuen High School boys’ basketball team” said Yasushi.

“Everyone in Tachikawa said that Tatsuhisa is the city’s Wonder Boy with true potential being off the charts every game he plays” said Yūta.

“He did that ever since he was young and he’s still balling as always” said Yuka.

“Of course, he’s currently 15 years old and he almost matched his potential with Sango” said Yūmi.

“Wow! This guy is talented!” said Aya.

“He had been doing a great job to step for his team and he’s going to shine his way to the top if he had a great performance out there” said Yukina.

“Kurotori Gakuen had a group of strong and talented players and they can do whatever it takes to prove themselves that they’re one of the best teams in West Tokyo” said Sumika.

“They know how to run their place and they’re good at it” said Mika.

“Yes, they are, girls! Kurotori Gakuen had competed in the Interhigh prefectural tournament, but they haven’t reached to the quarterfinals yet” said Yuka.

“However, it will change if they will be able to exceed their expectations this year, which is why they will have to overcome the challenges that they have, so that they will be progress themselves for sure” said Yūmi.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Mika, Sumika, Yukina and Aya.

“Right now, they’re very hungry of going to the quarterfinals since they have recruited not only Tatsuhisa, but three more in Mamoru Aoyama, Mito Okada and Katsuya Sonohara” said Yasushi.

“It is also expected that Kunimasa Umezawa will finish his high school career as he is now offered by different universities since entering high school” said Yūta.

“Just like Sango and Tatsuhisa, Kunimasa is a Wonder Boy because he’s very strong in making unprecedented shots as well as getting away from mismatches” said Yuka.

“He also scored 49 points in a game in the Tachikawa Summer Circuit last summer” said Yūmi.

“Wow! That guy scores a lot!” said Akihiro.

“He always lights out like a boss!” said Shun.

“He’s definitely gonna be on the pros one day if he would be able to score like that” Morio.

“I say that he’s the Wondering Scoring Machine due to his strength in scoring many points” said Yukio.

“Yeah, he is!” said Yasushi, Yūta, Yuka and Yūmi.

“I don’t know if it’s true, but is someone scored more than 50 points in the Tachikawa Summer Circuit?” asked Koya.

“Well, I believe that there is one player scoring that by the name of Seigo Kamamoto, who scored 82 points in a game two years ago” said Yūta.

“Whoa! I never seen that before!” said Koya.

“That guy is so stupendous that he had scored like that!” said Kaede.

“He’s even on a different level since he wants to shine of his own” said Mikiko.

“Exactly! Seigo had played in the regional league right now and he’s still balling without a doubt” said Yūta.

“That’s why he’s the hometown hero for Tachikawa as he currently played for the Tachikawa Bulls” said Yasushi.

“Is that record coming from the professional level or the juvenile level?” asked Yoshikuni.

“It’s for the professional level where semi-pro and professional players have gathered together to face against each other” said Yūta.

“Which means that no young player had scored more than 50 points yet, I’m afraid” said Yasushi.

“Ah, okay. It’s worth of a challenge, I guess” said Yoshikuni.

“Maybe, you can score that, Yasushi-san, if you want to beat that record” said Kusuo.

“Well, I have a lot of choices to make when I’m growing up, but I would be interested in that competition if I want to challenge that” said Yasushi.

“So, do you think that you can beat that challenge?” asked Mikiko.

“I believe that I would, but not right now” said Yasushi.

“Oh, that’s a shame. I hope that you will have a plan in competing that one very soon” said Mikiko.

“That way, you’ll be ready to get balling for sure!” said Kaede.

“Yeah, I hope so” said Yasushi.

“So, who else aside from those guys that you mentioned earlier?” asked Koya.

“They are a few friends that me and my siblings have in Tachikawa such as Akihisa Murayama, Seihō Mochizuki, Ryūma Ishizaki, Morimasa Kanazawa and Hiroki Nagatsuma” said Yasushi.

“These guys are compassionated to show some respect on us, which means that they’re looking good to make us blessed and inspired” said Yūta.

“Fascinating! I’m so glad that you have befriended them because they have known you” said Koya.

“It feels great that they are compassionated to be with you when you guys have met with them in any occasional visit” said Kaede.

“I hope that you will keep this up because they have known your names” said Mikiko.

“Which means that you will be thrilled to get along with them no matter what!” said Yoshikuni.

“The more that you have developed your friendship with them, the better that they will be entrusting you at the same. It will continue to bloom once you have done that many times when you have met with them” said Kusuo.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Yasushi, Yūta, Yuka and Yūmi.

“I heard that you had another relative that had visited your home before” said Mika.

“Yep. I have a relative from Toyama in Gakuto Hashigami, who was a first year high school student from the Etchūzen High School and a staff member of the Student Council of that school” said Yasushi.

“Oh, I see! I didn't know that he was part of it because he's a good helper, to be honest” said Mika.

“That guy had been prospered enough to represent his clan, which means that he will do whatever it takes to bless and inspire his friends on his side” said Banri.

“He's certainly gonna be a great leader one day if he had the opportunity to run for the student council one day” said Sumika.

“Well, he's now to the student council, but he hasn't decided to on that yet. Fortunately, Gakuto was a former Treasurer of the Etchūzen Middle School for two terms, one for his second year and later for his third year” said Yasushi.

“He had paid a visit to our home last summer last year with his relatives as he wanted to meet our mother” said Yūta. Gakuto's father Takuya Hashigami is the older brother of Yasue Hashigami.

“This is where we finally made a connection with him and his family because we're related with each other” said Yuka.

“It feels great that we have our relative coming out to visit our home and hopefully, he will be looking forward to meet us again someday” said Yūmi.

“Oh, that's good! I'm expecting for him to meet us if he wants to visit Tokyo soon” said Mika.

“He got the pure heart to show his compassion and gentleness to anyone just like you guys” said Banri.

“That way, he will have more respect to make all of us blessed and inspired for sure!” said Sumika.

“Yeah, we hope so, guys!” said Yasushi, Yūta, Yuka and Yūmi.

“So, what about yours? Did you have relatives aside from the Shionji clan?” asked Fujio.

“Yes, we have!” said Kusuo, Yoshikuni, Koya, Mikiko and Kaede.

“Oh, really?! How?!” shouted Kazuhisa.

“If I remember correctly, our father's wife Naomi Ishimoto lived in Fussa before moving to Tachikawa after marrying him. In her extended family in Fussa, the Ishimoto clan had been more compassionated to represent themselves and even they started to respect the Shionjis when our parents have been married” said Kusuo.

“Guys like Nobuo Ishimoto, Karin Ishimoto, Suzuka Ishimoto and Kenta Ishimoto have been friends with us and we used to meet with them occasionally” said Yoshikuni.

“Whether it's a birthday party or a special activity for the Ishimoto clan, we always gotten along with each other to make sure that they're going to keep developing our friendship with them” said Koya.

“That's very interesting, guys. I'm feeling grateful that you have a wonderful friendship with them since they're coming from your maternal side” said Fujio.

“They have been determined to make a goof friendship with your so, they will be able to come along with you at any time you want” said Kazuhisa.

“I'm sure that you're all thrilled when you and your relatives have so much fun to get along with each other because your friendship with them have been developed greatly” said Yukina.

“I hope that you will keep this up for sure!” said Aya.

“Yeah!” said Kusuo, Yoshikuni and Koya.

“What about the two of you, girls? Did you have relatives that are close to you?” asked Akihiro.

“Yes, we have” said Mikiko and Kaede.

“Our mother Maika Todoroki had been married to Yasutaka Todoroki, who was born in Komazawa, which results to those that are coming from the latter's family are considered relatives to us” said Mikiko.

“One example of this is Haruyo Todoroki, a second year middle school student from the Musashizumi Middle School” said Kaede.

“She had been a generous cousin when she was giving us the Christmas presents during our winter vacation in Setagaya” said Mikiko.

“I love her smile when you looked at her because she's so cute!” said Kaede.

“Oh, that's cool! I can't wait to meet her one day!” said Akihiro.

“She's so determined to make sure that she will not lose her smile for sure!” said Kei.

“I say that she had been generous whenever she gave you some presents” said Mariko.

“Especially in your birthday celebrations” said Mao.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Mikiko and Kaede.

“Aside from her, there's two more in Fumihiro Todoroki and Sōma Todoroki” said Mikiko.

“They love to make jokes to their friends while using puns related to the colors related to run” said Kaede.

“Are these jokes being cool?” asked Shun.

“Well, sometimes, it's hilarious” said Mikiko.

“But others are kind of funnier if you ask me” said Kaede.

“Ah, that wasn't so bad. I guess that your cousins are more motivate to have some fun with them” said Shun.

“Maybe, they could put up their own show when they will grow up” said Morio.

“Definitely, they would if they're good enough to entertain the entire community” said Mikiko.

“People used to do podcasts nowadays to hear them around and chill in. Hopefully, you'll be surprised when you're going to hear some running jokes out there” said Kaede.

“Oh, yes, I agree with that!” said Shun.

“There are a lot of things to make fun to everyone, but I believe that it shouldn't be sensitive at this point” said Morio.

“Uh... not all everyone makes jokes, but they better know how to make good jokes because it will be terrible if they don't have any” said Mikiko.

“So, they have to find a good way to make everyone laugh on that if they're smart to show how good they are in entertaining them” said Kaede.

“Ah, yeah, we get it now” said Shun and Morio.

“I didn't use to listen those all morning despite my father Taizō loved those, but it's great that I want to see something harmonious out there” said Shun.

“Having fun isn't the easiest thing to do in your life, but you better get used to it one day if you're brave enough to enjoy those things with your friends” said Morio.

“Yeah, we agree with that, guys!” said Mikiko and Kaede.

“I'm more thrilled to hear those, boys, but honestly, I like jokes whenever I heard them on radio” said Yukio.

“It may be humor, but it should be exciting if you know what I mean” said Issei.

“Maybe, we can run all those things one day if we're good enough to entertain them” said Fumi.

“Well, we're all just youngsters almost making it to the middle school, but we're not gonna do that yet” said Shun.

“However, we can do any other things other than jokes like showing some compliments to anyone on your side” said Morio.

“Yeah, we should!” said Yukio, Issei and Fumi.

“I think that it would be better if we can find something inspirational” said Yukio.

“It may be different from any sense of humor, but it should be more fun that we can get” said Issei.

“That way, we're all thrilled to make them fun without a doubt!” said Fumi.

“Yeah, for sure!” said Shun and Morio.

Mikiko and Kaede giggle with each other while seeing Shun, Morio, Yukio, Issei and Fumi having their own ideas in entertaining anyone on their side one day.

“I'm going to be excited if you will have one, guys” said Mikiko.

“Yeah, we love to see your inspiration out there if you will be able to impress us” said Kaede.

“We hope so, girls!” said Shun, Morio, Yukio, Issei and Fumi.

“Anything will be so much fun to do with!” said Shun.

“We'll make sure that you'll be damned surprised to see this one day!” said Morio.

“Anyone can thrill themselves like the way it should be because we're from the Sagisō Ekudo” said Yukio.

“We will show our determination...” said Issei.

“...to make us feel good to enjoy as friends of Yasushi!” said Fumi.

“Yeah, good luck with that!” said Mikiko.

“I hope that you're gonna make us proud!” said Kaede.

“Yeah, we will!” said Shun, Morio, Yukio, Issei and Fumi.

“So, how common are the crimson-colored groups in the country?” asked Mika.

“The crimson-colored groups in our country are very stranger than you think because these groups are more focused on showing their passion and charisma to make sure that they will not give up no matter what” said Yasushi.

“Generally, these groups are very different, compared to different color groups because they're basically coming from Chubu and Kansai as they have produced those groups, mostly by some certain good leaders that they made the difference for themselves” said Yūta.

“Meanwhile, in Kanto, there are a few crimson-colored groups out there with mostly coming from Yamanashi and Kanagawa” said Yuka.

“Some said that it had been tied to tough principles and relentless ways, which means that they're pretty 'rare' to see, in my opinion” said Yūmi. She referred those to the Dragon-type Pokémon that was existed in the Pokémon series.

“Oh, I see! I couldn't imagine that these groups are very peculiar in showing their own representation through their eyes. That's what they want to look themselves determined with their own style” said Mika.

“They said that they're not much regal, but they're somehow more developed through their hearts” said Banri.

“Exactly, you're right, Banri! The big deal is that the crimson-colored groups are relied to their own strength in helping their community out and of course, not only sports, but other things such as entertainment, politics, agriculture and science are more connected to those through different individuals from one place to another” said Yasushi.

“For example, in Ōta, there are a few coming from Kugahara and Yukigaya where their leaders are mostly focused on space” said Yūta.

“While in Chōfu, they're more focused on science” said Yuka.

“Anything can be categorized, but how they are interested in, which means that they have their own choices to pick up with, so that one day, they'll make their dreams come true one day if they'll be able to excel themselves” said Yūmi.

“Interesting facts about that, guys! I would be more expecting to see their own interests to show up, so that they will be able to get into it once they have been good enough to show how it's done for their community” said Fujio.

“I believe that they will be motivated enough to do whatever it takes to make sure that they'll get themselves earned one day if they have done something good to be expected” said Sumika.

“All they have to do if they want to make themselves blessed and inspired is to show their pride and compassion to make sure that they will be able to get it done all the way” said Kazuhisa.

“The more that they will be able to work hard for their goals that need to be accomplished...” said Yukina.

“...the better that they will be able to get rewarded on anything for themselves” said Aya.

“Yeah!” said Yasushi, Yūta, Yuka and Yūmi.

“You're right about that!” said Yasushi with a smile on his face. “That's why it's going to be a tough challenge for all of us if we want to do that same thing because not only it will help us to be brave and bold, but we want to be more blessed and inspired and since I'm already part of the Bravehearts of Ōta, I'll have to do what my fellow groupmates out there do to make sure that you're all gonna support me for sure!”

“Yeah!” said the cousins of Yasushi and the members of the Sagisō Ekudo.

“I believe that you will be ready to represent for them because you'll be able to show how it's done for us” said Mika.

“I hope that you will be more determined in making better dreams to us if you will get anything what you want because that's what a true braveheart can do” said Banri.

“So, hopefully, you'll be delighted to contribute for them and we'll be making us proud for sure!” said Fujio.

“Yes, I will, guys! You can count on me because I'll do whatever it takes to show my pride and willpower to everyone!” said Yasushi.

“Yeah!” said the siblings and cousins of Yasushi and the members of the Sagisō Ekudo.

“One thing that I'm going to say before we'll end this conversation is that I'm not starting to plan on the extended group for my Sagisō Ekudo, but I'll surprise you one day when it's now working with my close friends going to get along with me for a teambuilding process. That way, you will be ready to witness this for sure!” said Yasushi.

“Oh, that's good! I'm looking forward to see what you're developing for your circle of friends out there because a lot of groups have started to work on that ever since the Unbreaking Charisma and the Prestigious Wind Ōta have been formed recently” said Mika.

“It would be fantastic that we will count on that to make sure that we're gonna work together to make this happen one day” said Banri.

“We're interested to see your developments on your circle of friends, Yasu-san, because we're thrilled to get along with you for something fun” said Koya.

“The more that we're interested in that big plan of yours...” said Yoshikuni.

“...the better that we're ready to shine together and make our community getting more blissful and harmonious” said Kaede.

“Everyone in your side, which is us, would be ready to represent for you” said Mikiko.

“So, hopefully, once it's completely formed, we're all set to run the place together!' said Kusuo.

“You got that right, guys! That's why we're all here to run together, stay together and hopefully, we will be able to create our better future that we will get once we have done a lot of good things to get it done through our pride and willpower. Right, guys?” said Yasushi.

“Yeah!” said the siblings and cousins of Yasushi and the members of the Sagisō Ekudo.

“It's going to be the start of our new chapter for all of us since we're all here to represent for you, Yasushi!” said Mika.

“With all due respect, we will always do what everyone in our side do because we're gonna do our best to make them thrilled with our hopes and dreams that we have!” said Banri.

“It's all about the good expectations that we have to work on and we have to do it for ourselves” said Yūta.

“If we want to make the difference to make our future getting brighter, then we should all shine together with our smiles, so that we'll able to make our community more peaceful and harmonious” said Yuka.

“We're all together as a family of friends and allies for you, oniichan! Everyone can bring smiles to those who had been close to us, so that they will be able to bless and inspire us in return” said Yūmi.

“The future is in our hands, guys!” said Koya.

“We're all set to make it more beautiful and bloomer!” said Kaede.

“All we have to do is to stick together like always” said Mikiko.

“So that, we'll be ready to make new friends and allies that are going to bless and inspire us” said Yoshikuni.

“After all, this is our circle, the Crimson Arrow Connection” said Kusuo.

“Yeah, I agree! Then, let's unite and shine together as one!” said Yasushi.

“Yeah!” said the siblings and cousins of Yasushi and the members of the Sagisō Ekudo. Yasushi had been determined to his friends including his siblings and cousins because they know how to believe for a better change and that's why he will be getting ready to shine with them, so that they will make their community in Ōta more blooming and harmonious. They have gotten along with each other to make friends and work hard to get their job done and hopefully, they will continue to do those things, so that they will never lose their pride and willpower, which will make Yasushi thrill as a member of the New Camellian Dragons and the Bravehearts of Ōta.

“Now that the conversation is done, let’s have fun again with some play of Uno cards!” said Yasushi.

“Hopefully, we’re gonna make it even better than the last one” said Yūta.

“Because our cousins will be here to play with us!” said Yuka.

“Everyone will have a fair game to make it right!” said Yūmi.

“Oh, good! I’m thrilled that there will be more guests to play with us!” said Mika.

“They haven’t known that game before” said Banri.

“But hopefully, they will be able to learn all things about Uno” said Sumika.

“So that, it will be amazing to have a wonderful game for all of us!” said Aya.

“Yeah!” said Yasushi, Yūta, Yuka, Yūmi, Kusuo, Yoshikuni, Koya, Mikiko and Kaede.

“I can’t wait to challenge you, new players!” said Fujio.

“I can feel the intense aura of yours since you’re all here to be with us for tonight” said Kazuhisa.

“That way, we will spend a lot of things to enjoy this night before we’ll seize another day” said Yukina.

“Yeah, you got that right! I haven’t played that before, but man, I’m interested to see how it goes” said Kusuo.

“It will be fantastic that we will have a great game after we have talked with each other” said Yoshikuni.

“Everyone will be thrilled since we’re all good to go” said Mikiko.

“So, we’re gonna get easy on you, even we’re just beginners to that game” said Kaede.

“Let’s see if you have the guts that you showed up!” said Koya.

“Sure!” said Fujio.

“I’m down with that!” said Kazuhisa.

“Count us in!” said Yukina.

“Yeah!” said Kusuo, Yoshikuni, Koya, Mikiko and Kaede.

“Then, let’s get this game on, everyone!” said Yasushi.

“Let’s run like the way we did earlier!” said Mika.

“Yeah!” said the siblings and cousins of Yasushi and the members of the Sagisō Ekudo.
