CHAPTER 114: “BETWEEN THE PRIDE AND HAPPINESS OF AKARI ŌSAKI

Date: May 7, 2010 (Friday)

This side story is focused on the Bravehearts of Toyama as they’re staying the home of Akiko Nagatani, the cousin of Amana and Tenka Ōsaki of Alstroemeria, where they’re holding a welcome party for Akari Ōsaki, who had become a new member of that braveheart group.

The Bravehearts of Toyama are walking together while wearing their casual clothes that are related to Alstroemeria, despite some of their male members have worn pink-colored clothes, as they’re ready to visit the house of Akari Ōsaki, the cousin of Amana and Tenka Ōsaki of Alstroemeria, to make her a big welcome as she’ll be part of the family of bravehearts in Toyama.

Bravehearts of Toyama: Yasutaka Mizukawa, Harue Okumura, Yukio Watanuki, Tsutomu Sekiya, Hiroko Horiguchi, Nene Nakahara, Kazumi Takeoka, Chie Kawamoto, Mai Takamori, Sachiko Hoshino, Miyu Sumitomo, Nanase Mawatari, Rika Tatekawa, Toyoko Suzuhara, Moe Yasuhara, Shiori Komiyama, Seiya Yaegashi, Kaede Motoyama, Mana Hidaka, Akio Sakanoue, Nobuo Ōyama, Mitsuhiro Yoshizawa, Kojiro Wakasa, Nanami Tomikawa, Ruri Tsurugi and Tomoka Muraishi

“I’m so excited about Akari joining our group after she had been very confident to team up with us!” said Nanami Tomikawa, a member of the Bravehearts of Toyama.

“It’s going to be awesome that she’ll be here to represent not just only us, but her clan, the Ōsaki clan” said Ruri Tsurugi, a member of the Bravehearts of Toyama.

“Hopefully, it’s going to be fun to make her a big welcome to be part of our group as she’s very motivated to help everyone in our hometown just like how Amana and Tenka have used to cherish her fans” said Tomoka Muraishi, a member of the Bravehearts of Toyama.

“Yep! Akari had been calm and expressive when she had helped her community to make them feel happy as being a member of the Ōsaki clan was something more blooming due to her motivation being paid off most of the time” said Sachiko Hoshino, a member of the Bravehearts of Toyama.

“Which is why she becomes more focused in helping her friends to make them compassionated and admired” said Miyu Sumitomo, a member of the Bravehearts of Toyama.

“Like most of her cousins from the Ōsaki clan, Akari became more admired when it comes to her friends on her side because she wanted to shine her way to give them a smile whenever they wanted to bless her” said Nanase Mawatari, a member of the Bravehearts of Toyama.

“Of course, you’ll be happy to see her doing like that to make sure that she will not let her friends down for sure” said Rika Tatekawa, a member of Bravehearts of Toyama.

“Yeah!” said Nanami, Ruri and Tomoka.

“I have to say that she’ll be a great addition to be part of our group as she’s very determined to make us blessed and inspired” said Nanami.

“She will come along with us at any time we were having an activity to bless the community” said Ruri.

“So that, she will be able to make us friends now that she’s now part of our group” said Tomoka.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Sachiko, Miyu, Nanase and Rika.

“It’s going to be so awesome that we’re going to visit this place because we haven’t known about that one before someone finally knows about the address” said Toyoko Suzuhara, a member of the Bravehearts of Toyama.

“Which means that it’s difficult to find that place at first, but you finally realize that you have found something more of a miracle” said Moe Yasuhara, a member of the Bravehearts of Toyama.

“We shouldn’t be worrying about those because you guys have found the address” said Shiori Komiyama, a member of the Bravehearts of Toyama.

“Yes, we are!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Toyama.

“Akiko had known the address of Akari because she’s related to her as cousins” said Chie Kawamoto, a member of the Bravehearts of Toyama.

“Which is why we’re very relieved that she had told us the address when one of our members asked Akiko the address earlier” said Mai Takamori, a member of the Bravehearts of Toyama.

“Yep! I asked Akiko the address when we’re having a lunch break and she said that it’s near the home of Amana and Tenka” said Kazumi Takeoka, a member of the Bravehearts of Toyama.

“Thankfully, we’re almost got in time to reach that place for sure!” said Seiya Yaegashi, a member of the Bravehearts of Toyama.

“Well, we would have been lost if it wasn’t you looking for the directions” said Toyoko.

“But we’re feeling relieved that you guided us all the way to reach that place because we’re almost closer now” said Moe.

“Hopefully, we’ll be happy to visit that place because this is our first time that we visited that place” said Shiori.

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

“By the way, for those you’re wondering why Akari isn’t here is because she told me earlier that she will not be with us until later on as she’s still getting along with her friends for some group project at the library, so she will be coming later tonight” said Kazumi.

“However, she promised that she will be here to make us comfortable when we’ll organizing a welcome party for her” said Harue Okumura, the vice leader of the Bravehearts of Toyama.

“It will be perfect to make her day the best in her life when she’ll be seeing this” said Hiroko Horiguchi, a member of the Bravehearts of Toyama.

“She knows that it’s going to be her time to represent for us because she will be more confident to make herself blessed and inspired once we’ll make her welcome party blooming” said Nene Nakahara, a member of the Bravehearts of Toyama.

“Yeah, I agree with that, girls! Hopefully, Akari will be more determined to make her day blooming and harmonious, so that she’ll be ready to bless and inspire with us for sure. It will be more of a blooming welcome for Akari, but hopefully, we should be ready to make it happen” said Yasutaka Mizukawa, the leader of the Bravehearts of Toyama.

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

The Bravehearts of Toyama would finally make it to the house of Akari Ōsaki, which is consisted a modern house being based in futuristic architecture.

“There it is!” said Chie.

“It’s the house of Akari!” said Mai.

“Oh, I can’t wait to visit that place!” said Seiya.

“Well, I’m sure that you’re all excited for this, guys, because we’re gonna stay there for the rest of the night before we’ll go home later after the party” said Kazumi.

“It will be amazing that we should be ready to make Akari a big welcome to be part of our group” said Sachiko.

“And she’s a new member of the Bravehearts of Toyama, she will be ready to give us the smiles and joys to make us comfortable just like how our other members did when they were first time joining our group” said Miyu.

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

When they have reached the entrance, they would be met by Azusa Ōsaki and Akiko Nagatani, the cousins of the Ōsaki twins, Amana and Tenka Ōsaki. Azusa Ōsaki is also the older sister of Akari Ōsaki and a first year high school student from the Hachinoazuma High School. They would be joined by the members of the Sakura Section.

Sakura Section: Akiko Nagatani, Kaori Ebisuzawa, Sayako Hironaka, Yoshimi Haramoto, Akeno Sudo, Risa Kawakubo and Mayumi Ishiyama

“Hi, everyone! Welcome to my home!” said Azusa Ōsaki, who is sporting a garnet hair just like Amana and Tenka.

“It’s so nice that you’re here!” said Akiko Nagatani, a first year high school student from the Hachinoazuma High School and a member of the Bravehearts of Toyama, representing the Sakura Section. She’s also the leader of the Nagikawa Bloom.

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

“Please, come to my home. We need you to prepare on my sister’s welcome party to be part of your group” said Azusa.

“So that, she will be very happy to see this later” said Akiko.

“Okay!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Toyama as they would finally enter the house of Akari. They would be surprised to see the decorations for the welcome party being placed in the table.

“Are those decorations?” asked Kazumi.

“Yep! These are all decorations that me and my friends have worked on a few days ago after class” said Azusa.

“We’re very busy with those decorations throughout the week even we have been quick enough to get it done” said Akiko.

“And now, the only thing left is to put all those decorations into this place, so that my sister’s welcome party will be shining and beautiful” said Azusa.

“Can you help it out?” asked Akiko.

“Yes, we do!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Toyama.

“Of course, before we’re going to do that, there’s another issue that I was still messing up with” said Azusa.

“What is it?” asked Yasutaka.

“You see, we need some foods and drinks for the party and we haven’t found some ideas on what kind of those would be. I think that you can help on that if you want to” said Akiko.

“Well, we have some of our members doing some plans for foods and drinks” said Yasutaka.

“Yeah! They were Akio Sakanoue, Nobuo Ōyama, Mitsuhiro Yoshizawa and Kojiro Wakasa” said Harue.

“They’ll be ready to organize those just for you!” said Yukio Watanuki, a member of the Bravehearts of Toyama.

“So that, you’ll be delighted to make this welcome party more blooming and harmonious before your very eyes” said Tsutomu Sekiya, a member of the Bravehearts of Toyama.

“Yeah, that’s right, Tsutomu! The four of us will be ready to get it done to make Akari happy when she’s gonna see this” said Akio Sakanoue, a member of the Bravehearts of Toyama.

“You’ll be surprised to see this, especially that we’re going to make something that you will like this later on” said Nobuo Ōyama, a member of the Bravehearts of Toyama.

“It’s going to be great that this welcome party will be better with some foods and drinks out here” said Mitsuhiro Yoshizawa.

“And hopefully, things are about to looked promising as expected when Akari will be coming to this place to make her very happy and delighted” said Kojiro Wakasa.

“Oh, that’s great! Thank goodness that we have some volunteers out here!” said Azusa.

“Yes, it is, Azusa-san! The four of you, you should come with me to work on our plans for foods and drinks” said Akiko.

“Okay!” said Akio, Nobuo, Mitsuhiro and Kojiro as they would be joining with Akiko to organize their plans for the foods and drinks that will be used for the welcome party.

Meanwhile, Azusa would give the members of the Bravehearts of Toyama a smile. “Now, it’s time to work together in preparing this welcome party to make my sister happy!”

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Toyama as they have agreed to work together with Azusa to prepare for the welcome party for Akari. The montage would show the members of the Bravehearts of Toyama helping with Azusa and his friends in preparing for the welcome party by putting all decorations at the living room and the dining area where all peach-colored and magenta-colored banners being placed as well as the Alstroemeria-themed designs hang above the ceiling.

In one time, Sachiko, Miyu, Nanase and Rika are placing the peach-colored camellias in the dining table while Toyoko, Moe and Shiori are putting the ‘Welcome’ banner in the wall. Then, Kazumi, Chie, Mai, Nanami, Ruri and Tomoka are carrying the balloons from the terrace and placing those around the house.

On the other hand, Yasutaka, Harue, Yukio, Tsutomu, Hiroko, Nene, Seiya and Azusa are cleaning the entire living room by removing some stuff that are not related to the welcome party and replacing those with colorful plates and glasses.

After an hour, Akio, Nobuo, Mitsuhiro and Kojiro have brought the foods and drinks that they have from local restaurants, which Akiko found them delicious and tasty for the guests to eat and drink.

And finally, the members of the Sakura Section would bring the music player, so that they will be playing the music to make the welcome party more relaxing and livelier.

Azusa and Akiko would finally become delighted the preparations for the welcome party for Akari have been done.

“It’s all done, everyone!” said Azusa.

“What do you think?” asked Akiko.

“Wow! That’s so amazing!” said Kazumi.

“This is blissful and harmonious!” said Chie.

“I’m feeling comfortable to stay there!” said Mai.

“It’s so beautiful!” said Sachiko.

“I’m loving it!” said Miyu.

“It’s very nice to see all of those beautiful decorations coming out to life!” said Nanase.

“It’s so good!” said Rika.

“That’s better!” said Toyoko.

“That’s fantastic!” said Moe.

“I’m feeling great to see those!” said Shiori.

“I’m happy that it’s so gorgeous now!” said Nanami.

“Everything is so bloomy!” said Ruri.

“Just like you have seen some of those in slice of life and comedy dramas on television!” said Tomoka.

“I have to say that it’s more of a beautiful setting to make this welcome party looked promising” said Yasutaka.

“Everyone will be feeling delighted to make themselves comfortable when they’ll be staying here” said Harue.

“It will be so nice that Akari will be happy to see this once she finally enters here” said Hiroko.

“That way, she will be very thrilled to make us blessed and inspired” said Nana.

“And of course, she’s now part of our family, she will be prospered enough to make her day the best that she will have” said Yukio.

“Especially that she will be ready to make us friends for sure!” said Tsutomu.

“Yes, indeed! It’s going to be nice to make my sister very delighted and uplifted just like she had enjoyed in an activity where a lot of people have been able to make her feel good. She’s not giving up no matter what because she will always count on us, of course!” said Azusa.

“That’s why we should be ready to make her welcome because she’s almost coming home” said Akiko.

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

“Now, since it’s almost 6:00 in the evening, we have to wait for Azusa to come, so that we’ll gonna let this welcome party started” said Azusa.

“Okay!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Toyama.

Meanwhile, Akari Ōsaki and her friends are walking on their way to the home of the former after finishing their group project at the Hachinoazuma Middle School. Like her sister Azusa, Akari is sporting a garnet hair due to her being associated to her cousins Amana and Tenka.

“I can’t wait to see what’s going on in your house, Akari-chan!” said Tomoe Fukutomi, a second year middle school student from the Hachinoazuma Middle School and a friend of Akari Ōsaki.

“I heard that there’s going to be a party to be held at here” said Saaya Kawazu, a second year middle school student from the Hachinoazuma Middle School and a friend of Akari Ōsaki.

“I hope that it’s going to be a surprise party, I think” said Chidori Takahara, a second year middle school student from the Hachinoazuma Middle School and a friend of Akari Ōsaki.

“Well, it’s my friends from the Bravehearts of Toyama as they’re going to pull off a welcome party for me since I have joined that group recently” said Akari Ōsaki, a second year middle school student from the Hachinoazuma Middle School and the cousin of Amana and Tenka Ōsaki.

“Oh, I didn’t know that they’re going to throw a party for you!” said Tomoe.

“I’m very surprised that you will be ready to enjoy your day with them since you have been part of that group” said Saaya.

“Which means that you’ll be thrilled to make them blessed and inspired just like how your cousins did” said Chidori.

“Yeah, I agree with that, girls! I’m sure that you’re all excited to see this because I want to make my day so bloomy to make it happen, so that I will be able to gleam and shine while representing for them. You’ll be indulged to show your smiles when you have seen me getting along with my new friends from the Bravehearts of Toyama” said Akari.

“Yeah!” said the friends of Akari.

One they have reached the house of Akari, Akari would step in first to enter her home. Just then, she would be surprised by the members of the Bravehearts of Toyama.

“Welcome home, Akari-san!” surprisingly shouted the members of the Bravehearts of Toyama.

“Oh! It’s you, guys! I can’t believe that you have surprised me all of a sudden!” said Akari.

“Yep! It’s your special day that you will never miss!” said Kazumi.

“We’re throwing a big welcome party just for you!” said Sachiko.

“As you’re now part of the Bravehearts of Toyama!” said Miyu.

“Well, I’m so blessed and joyful to see this, guys! Thank you very much for organizing my welcome party!” said Akari.

“You’re welcome!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Toyama.

“Onēchan! I think that it’s the perfect time to get this party started now that you’re all here!” said Azusa.

“Yeah, it will be amazing that your friends will be ready to get along with you for the first time since they’re friendlier to be honest” said Akiko.

“Of course not! I’m very determined to have my friends on my side and hopefully, it’s going to be amazing that my welcome party will be better to bloom for sure. Right, guys?” said Akari.

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

“Now, who wants to get some food for dinner?” asked Akari.

“We do!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Toyama while raising their hands to agree with Akari.

“Okay, then, let’s eat some dinner together!” said Akari.

“Okay!” said the friends of Akari and the members of the Bravehearts of Toyama as everyone would start eating their dinner together by picking the foods that are freshly served, thanks to the decision making by Akio, Nobuo, Mitsuhiro and Kojiro.

Akari, her friends and the members of the Bravehearts of Toyama would be sitting along with each other at the living room where they will start eating their dinner. Akari had been feeling uplifted that she was amazed to see her friends from the Bravehearts of Toyama doing their great job in making her welcome party more beautiful and prestigious than she had expected.

“I’m so happy that you did this all for me to make my day more blooming and harmonious! I never expect that I had seen this at all!” said Akari.

“Yes, we are!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Toyama.

“We want to have your day getting better to witness because you have been motivated to show your smile to your friends” said Sachiko.

“Just like we used for our friends to get blessed and inspired” said Miyu.

“It’s so nice that you have been determined to be part of our family because we’re very surprised that you’re one of the cousins of Amana and Tenka” said Nanase.

“That’s why we’re so grateful that you wanted to get involved in helping our community to grow with blessings and make them comfortable with your smile” said Rika.

“Yes, I am!” said Akari while giving Sachiko, Miyu, Nanase and Rika a smile. “I want to be part of this group not only because I’m always interested in making friends, but I want to share my hopes and dreams with you, so that we will build a good and harmonious friendship together. It will be amazing that we should start developing a friendship like this, so that we’ll be able to shine ourselves and make all of us being indulged with happiness.”

“Oh, I see that point, Akari-san! I have been delighted that you looked like Amana and Tenka, who used to make happiness with their friends on their side” said Kazumi.

“Yep! That’s true! I’m very compassionated when I saw both Amana and Tenka performing for me because they’re dazzling and shining together to make me feel good to see them rising in their idol career. That’s why I want to be like them, so that I will be able to cherish everyone with my smile” said Akari.

“Well, you’re more of a compassionated girl with your aura getting glowed all the way when you’re getting along with your friends, Akari-san” said Kazumi.

“It seems that you’re very determined to make them feel comfortable without losing them all along” said Chie.

“Your friends are always believing you, which means that you have been blessed by them” said Mai.

“Yeah, I agree with that, girls!” said Akari.

“You know, Akari-san, I heard that you’re contributing to the Sakura Section since you’re the younger sister of Azusa Ōsaki” said Toyoko.

“Which means that you’re more motivated to be with them when you made them feel good” said Moe.

“How did you do that?” asked Shiori.

“I’m glad that you asked for it!” said Akari while giving Toyoko, Moe and Shiori a smile as she’s about to explain her answer to Shiori’s question. “As you all know, when I found out that my cousin Akiko joining the Bravehearts of Toyama last month, I started to get involved in associating with her and her fellow friends, so that I will be able to impress and admire them. Of course, since me, my older sister and Akiko were part of the Ōsaki clan, we’re very delighted that we wanted to do our best in showing some happiness and innocence to our friends on our side, so that they will be able to make us feel thrilled with their smiles that we don’t want to miss.”

“That’s true, onēchan! Whenever we met our friends in our neighborhood, we started to grow our friendship with them, so that they’ll be obliged to come with us without hesitation” said Azusa.

“Since then, our friendship with them began to flourish with many of our friends starting to show their motivation and happiness that they wanted to make the difference with, which means that they were able to have their indulgence to show themselves” said Akiko.

“You’re right about that, Akiko-san! It feels great that we have been able to make us more comfortable and delighted, thanks to your kindness” said Kaori Ebisuzawa, a first year high school student from the Hachinoazuma High School and a member of the Bravehearts of Toyama, representing the Sakura Division.

“It feels great for all of us that we have been thrilled to develop our friendship with you girls” said Sayako Hironaka, a first year high school student from the Hachinoazuma High School and a member of the Bravehearts of Toyama, representing the Sakura Division.

“Which means that we’re all very confident that we have our auras coming out to shine when we’re working together, of course!” said Yoshimi Haramoto, a first year high school student from the Hachinoazuma High School and a member of the Bravehearts of Toyama, representing the Sakura Division.

“We’re very optimistic to make us indulged with happiness and so, we’re always blessing you in return” said Akeno Sudo, a first year high school student from the Hachinoazuma High School and a member of the Bravehearts of Toyama, representing the Sakura Division.

“So that, you’ll be more comfortable to continue developing your friendship with us” said Risa Kawakubo, a first year high school student from the Hachinoazuma High School and a member of the Bravehearts of Toyama, representing the Sakura Division.

“It will be amazing that you’ll be able to keep blessing us because you’re all here to show your innocence and happiness just like your cousins Amana and Tenka did” said Mayumi Ishiyama, a first year high school student from the Hachinoazuma High School and a member of the Bravehearts of Toyama, representing the Sakura Division.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Akari, Azusa and Akiko.

“I’m very surprised that you girls have been able to prosper your friends out here to make them comfortable” said Shiori.

“They’re more determined to show some innocence and happiness to you, so that they’ll be able to indulged themselves for you” said Moe.

“It’s going to be awesome that they want them to be prospered just like how Amana and Tenka did to their friends, especially their fellow idols from 283 Production” said Shiori.

“Of course, we are!” said Akari, Azusa and Akiko.

“When we started to make friends with them, we want to make sure that they’ll be motivated enough to enjoy themselves with their indulgence” said Akari.

“The more that they have shown their innocence and happiness, the better that they will be prospered to make their blessings coming out for them to shine” said Azusa.

“Hopefully, we want to keep it up, so that they’ll never lose us for sure!” said Akiko.

“That’s very nice, girls! I hope that your friends will be delighted to get along with you for sure, so that they’ll be able to keep blessing you” said Toyoko.

“They have been looked determined to make sure that they don’t want to let themselves down on you” said Moe.

“Which means that they’ll have to earn themselves with their own representation to make themselves determined to be with you for a long time” said Shiori.

“Yeah, we will, girls!” said Akari, Azusa and Akiko.

“I’m very surprised that when the Sakura Section had been formed, they’re considered more active and busier than the other groups due to the presence of their own activities that are related to the interests of Amana and Tenka” said Kaede Motoyama, a member of the Bravehearts of Toyama.

“Especially that you girls have been interested in shopping for precious attires” said Mana Hidaka, a member of the Bravehearts of Toyama.

“That will make you all stylish and fashionable when you wanted to admire yourself to be innocent and expressive” said Yuzuki Hirakawa, a first year middle school student from the Hachinoazuma Middle School and the leader of the Bright Feather, a group composed of the friends of Sachiko Hoshino.

“Yep! Our group had been making progress when we have our own side activities to take up with like going to different shopping stores to buy some stuff” said Akiko.

“One time, we bought some pillows and blankets, which it had costed more than 10,000 yen” said Kaori.

“However, we have been able to save our money when Akiko’s mother gave the credit card to Akiko, so that we can pay those in a jiffy” said Sayako.

“Then, another moment is that we have been able to eat some Korean dinner at a local restaurant in Kanoe” said Yoshimi.

“Which was so good that we have tasted the flavors of Korean food” said Akeno.

“These things are very nice for us to make sure that we want to enjoy our day like the way we used to be” said Risa.

“We’ll always be ready to get indulged whenever we want to have our activities to work around with and of course, we don’t want to miss those for sure!” said Mayumi.

“Ah, I see! I’m very happy that you girls have been more determined to get along with each other, so you’ll be able to develop your friendship with each other in a blooming way” said Kaede.

“It seems that you’re all prospered enough to make your moments blooming and harmonious because you have always enjoyed yourselves with your smiles” said Mana.

“Hopefully, it will be amazing that you’ll be able to keep it up no matter what, so that your group will continue to grow with blessings just like how the other groups including mine have used to” said Yuzuki.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Akiko and the members of the Sakura Section.

“Hopefully, we’ll be more prospered to make progress in our group, so that we’ll be able to have blessings that we will cherish with for ourselves. We have been more delighted to get along with each other as we want to be more determined and innocent to show our auras and of course, we can always count on anyone who wanted to make the difference to gleam and shine” said Akiko.

“That sounds a good and strong explanation to say about your group getting better for more” said Hiroko.

“We’re very delighted to see some progress in different groups that are part of our organization, especially that you girls have been very active in the community most of the time” said Nene.

“Hopefully, you’ll be able to keep this up to make everyone in Toyama blooming with blessings that they will prosper with for sure” said Hiroe.

“Yeah!” said Akiko and the members of the Sakura Section.

“By the way, Akari-san, I have a question to ask you. What is your opportunity now that you have joined the Bravehearts of Toyama?” said Nanami.

“To be honest, I want to get involved in helping the community as well as in representing the Ōsaki clan because I know how I want to make everyone cherish with my smile, so that they will be able to bless me in a heartbeat. Of course, me and my friends have been more determined to bless and inspire everyone when we have worked together to bring some courage and respect to everyone in our side, so that they will be able to be more motivated to make us friendlier than they expected. I like the way they wanted to show themselves, which is why I had been determined to see them growing with their smiles and joys as they don’t want to let me down all along. It feels great that they have inspired me because they wanted to believe themselves in hoping for a better change to prosper with happiness that they will never lost” said Akari.

“Wow! That’s a long answer out there! I didn’t know that you’re more different, compared to the other members of the Bravehearts of Toyama, because you’re very special to us” said Nanami.

“Being special as in you’re a member of the Ōsaki clan, which means that anyone can be prospered enough to make everyone feeling comfortable with their smiles” said Ruri.

“We’re so lucky that you want to be part of us when you talked to our friends a few days ago about your opportunity to join our group, which is why we’re so blessed that you’ll be coming with us to work together as bravehearts” said Tomoka.

“Yeah, you’re right about that! I have been more confident to show that I’m giving everyone some blessings and I want to do the way my cousins did, so that I will be proved enough to stay innocent and admired to everyone like you” said Akari.

“You’re seemed to more serious and expressive that you want to represent for us, Akari-chan” said Sachiko.

“Your confidence had been growing very well without letting yourself down” said Nanase.

“Which means that you’re very confident to make us blessed and inspired if you want to prosper the community like we used to” said Rika.

“Yes, I am! Hopefully, when the time is come to get along with each other for a future activity, let’s have some thrills and joys to cherish for everyone!” said Akari.

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

“Akari-san, when you told me in our first encounter that you want to be part of us, you said that you want to build your own representation for the Ōsaki clan. Is that right?” said Kazumi.

“Yes, of course! My plan is to join your group and make new friends there before I will try to expand it by creating my own circle of friends or convincing the other members of my clan to join. I know that I have been blessed to be part of your group, so that I will be able to cherish myself to be with you and of course, I’m very expressive with your hopes and dreams that you will have in the future” said Akari.

A Special Message from Amana and Tenka Ōsaki

Hi, everyone! This is Amana and Tenka Ōsaki of Alstroemeria and we will be sharing you about our cousin Akari Ōsaki, who had been a member of the Bravehearts of Toyama. Akari is a second year middle school student from the Hachinoazuma Middle School and she had been a great leader to come out and shine her community in the city of Toyama. She had been more determined to do any precious and charismatic things to give her community some happiness that they need, which means that those have been able to get blessed and inspired by Akari will find happiness to prosper with. The first that Akari had impressed the Bravehearts of Toyama was when she was invited by her cousin Akiko Nagatani to attend the community service last summer. She had been able to impress them by giving them a smile and also, getting along with them by helping the people to clean the community. It feels great for her to get her first time to meet with them, thus, she started to get closer to her by participating with the activities for the Sakura Section before she and Akiko have collaborated with our fellow relatives to form a project where they have an initiative to support our idol careers. This was the first time that it happened between them as she started to get closer to them for months before she finally fulfilled her dreams joining the Bravehearts of Toyama. Of course, she had her own goal of making happiness and joy to everyone in the city of Toyama through blooming activities that made the community ready to prosper and shine with their dreams. Now, another best moment for our cousin Akari before she had joined the Bravehearts of Toyama was when she was volunteering to help with the members of the Sakura Section to build a flower garden at Akiko’s home, which is near a pastry shop called ‘Bloom and Tart’. She had brought her friends to help Akiko and her friends to work together in making a beautiful garden and of course, it was a huge success as every flower had grown well without getting withered. This makes Akiko so happy to take care of those flowers, especially that she planted alstroemerias in honor of the name of our group Alstroemeria. It’s so bloomy to see Akari and her friends getting the job done to make that activity a success and of course, that’s the part where things getting better for Akari to become a full member of the Bravehearts of Toyama, which she finally did it a few days ago. Right now, her ambition is to bloom and prosper her community with her own mantra of finding happiness and cherish one another with smiles. That’s why we have been blessed to see Akari getting her chance to be part of the family of bravehearts in our hometown and because of that, she’s looking forward to create her future for sure. You’ll be more amazed when she’ll be organizing future activities for her group and so, you’ll be prepared to see what’s going to plan for her community as she’s going to bloom her way like us. It’s the representation of our clan that we adopted for happiness and cherishment, which means that it’s going to be fantastic that we’re going to make everyone feeling happy with our smiles, so that we’ll be able to cherish them for their blessings to be made for sure. I hope that you enjoyed reading today’s update because it’s so special that the author wanted to focus on our hometown for the second time, but with a twist that our cousin Akari is there. It’s going to be fantastic that she’ll be ready to represent that group and so, she’ll do whatever it takes to bloom and shine for everyone with thrills coming to their way! You’ll be more confident to watch out for her because she’s going to create her future for us and the entire community of Toyama! Until, we’ll see you next time and have a comfortable day with happiness and indulgence, everyone!

“Which means that they’re ready to make their moments to shine, so that they’ll be prospering our hometown with their smiles” said Kyoko Hiraki, a member of the Dazzled Hearts.

“The Era of Fuchsia and Celadon had begun a few days ago with a lot of changes happened in our community, but I hope that it will flourish for more in the few days to come” said Yurika Akagawa, a member of the Dazzled Hearts.

“So, hopefully, after that day, everything will be bloomed enough to make Ōta a prospered community to shine for a brighter future” said Yōji Noshitani, a member of the Dazzled Hearts.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Risa, Ran, Yoshitsugu and Akira.

“It’s been a while that everyone in Ōta had started to shine for our community to grow with blessings since the beginning of the Era of Fuchsia and Celadon because they’re very determined to make everyone including us prospered with smiles and joys” said Risa Nagasaki, the leader of the Dazzled Hearts.

“They want to do something new after they have seen a lot of bizarre events happened in the last two years” said Ran Mikazuki, one of the members of the Dazzled Hearts.

“Yep! Ōta had been changed since the disbandment of the Dragons of Ōta, but a lot of cultural changes have been made, especially that the Bravehearts of Ōta have generally changed Ōta forever” said Yoshitsugu Nakagawa, a member of the Dazzled Hearts. He’s not related to Setsuna Yūki of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club because they have different families, but the same surname.

“I have to say that they’ll be ready to bless them no matter what because they want to believe in miracles to make sure that everything can happen to bless and inspire for sure” said Akira Nagatsuka, the brother of Saki Nagatsuka.

“Of course, it is!” said Atsuko.

“You’re right about that!” said Kyoko.

“Yeah!” said Shizuko, Tadamoto, Yurika and Yōji.

“I know that it’s going to be the last day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week, but they want to see something more like looking at the fireworks” said Atsuko.

“Yep! The culminating event will be more harmonious to witness as this will finally cap off the Fuchsia and Celadon Week where they’ll be seeing a lot of harmonious people to hear it out through their voices” said Risa.

“Some would also show their talent to prove that they’re good at it” said Ran.

“It would be awesome that they want to see all of those, so that they’ll be inspiring them without a doubt” said Yoshitsugu.

“Maybe, we should start doing inspirational activities in the future if we want to make everyone ready to gleam on those” said Akira.

“Hey, that’s a good idea! We can do that when it reaches the summer break” said Atsuko.

“Because this is the part where everyone will be ready to enjoy themselves for most of the time with fantastic activities that they want to see” said Shizuko.

“Summer is the most important season for everyone including us as everyone wants to indulge themselves with their smiles that they will not miss” said Tadamoto.

“Most of us will be ready to do something fantastic that will allow everyone to come for fun” said Kyoko.

“And of course, we don’t want to forget some moments that we have done in the past because we can do those again if we want to make everyone motivate for us to chime in” said Yurika.

“Hopefully, it will be amazing for us to make some fantastic activities to work up with, so that everyone will give us the blessings that we will have in our hearts” said Yōji.

“Yeah!” said Risa, Ran, Yoshitsugu and Akira.

“However, in order to make that happen, we will be planning to work on our extended group that will represent for Saki, so that we’ll be able to make it shine” said Risa.

“The extended group system had been trended for recent days as well as in Ōta when the Innocent Charm and the Family of Angels have formed their own groups” said Ran.

“And that’s why if we want to do the same thing, we have to brainstorm our ideas to spice it up with, so that we’ll be able to work on those as soon as possible” said Yoshitsugu.

“My sister said that she had contacted her friends earlier to discuss about their plans and of course, she will be expecting to give us some information about what they’ll be planning later when the culminating event will take place later” said Akira.

“Well, I hope that it’s going to be something that we have worked on before going to start assembling those to have a good circle of friends that we will have” said Atsuko.

“That way, it’s going to be blooming and prospered enough to make it happen as soon as everyone agrees on this” said Kyoko.

“Yeah!” said Risa, Ran, Yoshitsugu and Akira.

A few seconds later, Akinori Minobe calls out from the entrance. “Akira-san! We some new guests coming from the entrance!”

“Oh, guests? I’m coming!” said Akira while running on his way to the entrance.

“Hey, wait for me!” said Risa.

“Don’t get too fast running!” said Ran.

“You can’t leave us!” said Yoshitsugu, Atsuko and Kyoko. Shizuko, Tadamoto, Yurika and Yōji would follow them to see what’s going on in the entrance.

When they reached at the entrance, the members of the Dazzled Hearts were surprised that Toshinori Suzuki and his friends from the Indigo Blaze are there. Toshinori is one of the close friends of Saki Nagatsuka and the leader of the Indigo Blaze. He’s a first year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School coming from section 1-B.

Indigo Blaze: Toshinori Suzuki, Nobutaka Matsukawa, Naoko Natsuyoshi, Manaka Yamazaki, Haruya Kino, Toshikazu Sugiura, Sumire Miyashiro, Yuka Hayakawa and Kunio Igarashi

“Well, if it isn’t Risa Nagasaki. I’m so happy that you’re here with your friends serving some coffee and desserts to the guests!” said Toshinori Suzuki.

“Yep! We have just occupied this place for today because Tomoka and her friends have assigned the groups to organize their own activities to cap off the Fuchsia and Celadon Week” said Risa.

“Which is why today is All You Can Organize Day for all mainstream groups of the Bravehearts of Ōta where everyone can organize their own activities to make the guests feeling joyful and uplifted to bless them including our group” said Ran.

“Hopefully, you’ll be more excited to see something blooming right here, thanks to this event” said Yoshitsugu.

“That’s great! Can we take a table now?” said Toshinori.

“Okay!” said Risa, Ran and Yoshitsugu.

Risa would accompany Toshinori and his friends from the Indigo Blaze to a table where they’ll be staying there for a while for their break. Then, Risa would give them some coffee and desserts.

“It’s so delicious!” said Nobutaka Matsukawa, a first year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a member of the Indigo Blaze.

“That’s tasty!” said Naoko Natsuyoshi, a first year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a member of the Indigo Blaze.

“I’m loving it!” said Manaka Yamazaki, a first year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a member of the Indigo Blaze.

“This is what I like it eat!” said Toshinori.

Risa, Ran and Yoshitsugu are feeling happy to see Toshinori and his friends eating their foods together.

“Are you feeling enjoyed eating those, guys?” asked Risa.

“Yes, we are!” said the members of the Indigo Blaze.

“That’s great! I like it!” said Risa.

“You guys are looked blessed today!” said Ran.

“Which means that you have been earned right now” said Yoshitsugu.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Indigo Blaze.

“You know, Risa-san, it’s so nice that you have been worked hard to make everyone blessed and inspired just like how Saki did when she had represented for the Bravehearts of Ōta” said Toshinori.

“Saki had been determined to make you guys comfortable with her pure heart as she had been prospering you all the time” said Nobutaka.

“Of course, you will be more delighted to see her shine when she’s stepping up for the varsity team” said Naoko.

“Because she will be dazzling her way to shine her career for sure!” said Manaka.

“Yeah!” said Risa, Ran and Yoshitsugu.

“That reminds me, I was going to ask you a favor because Saki told me earlier that since we’re close friends, we could start searching for the former members of the Dragons of Ōta” said Toshinori.

“Interesting. Then, what is it?” said Risa.

“Will you help me find any former members of the Dragons of Ōta, so that we’ll be able to report those to Saki later tonight?” asked Toshinori.

“Well, that’s a good question that you want to ask me for it, but as you can see, we’re still busy with our own activity and nobody will ever occupy this until Akira had a back-up plan” said Risa.

“Oh, you had a back-up plan, Akira-san?” added Toshinori.

“Yep! My friends from the Blue Wish Kirihara will be in charge of this if any member of the Dazzled Hearts will be out for other activities, so that they’ll be able to make the maid cafe entertaining as it would be” said Akira.

“Well, that sounds a good back-up plan to work on that if Risa and her friends will be leaving their posts for a while” said Toshinori.

“That way, it will give the others their chance to step up and make the guests thrilled with foods and drinks to take up with” said Nobutaka.

“Yeah!” said Akira.

“We would be happy if we want to make the maid cafe more blooming and harmonious with some of our friends ready to step up as back-up maids” said Risa.

“It’s going to be amazing that they’ll be able to shine themselves in admiring the guests with their smiles” said Ran.

“The more that they will make the guests feel good, the better that they’ll be delighted to have their blessings being made” said Yoshitsugu.

“Of course, everyone needs to prosper themselves with their smiles, so that they’ll be able to make themselves comfortable through the delight and happiness” said Atsuko.

“So that, they’ll be able to indulge themselves like the way they want to express themselves to shine” said Kyoko.

“Well, I would agree more with that, guys! I mean, wouldn’t be better if we can work together on that after our mission, so that it will be great for us to develop your friendship with you?” said Toshinori.

“Yes, we do!” said the members of the Dazzled Hearts as they shout together in unison to affirm themselves.

“We want to be more involved in making everyone blessed and inspired if we want to get it done to make sure that we’ll be able to develop our community to shine for more” said Risa.

“Because this is what the friends of the bravehearts do to bloom and prosper” said Ran.

“As we want to be more confident in making our community getting growing with blessings that we have” said Yoshitsugu.

“So that, we’ll be very delighted to create our future for them to be believed” said Akinori.

“It’s our opportunity to prove that we’re here to make everyone prospered as want to make the difference in bringing hopes and dreams to them” said Aoi Otsuji, a member of the Dazzled Hearts.

“Where they will be able to indulge themselves with their smiles that we will never miss” said Kana Yamada, a member of the Dazzled Hearts.

“We’ll be confident to do our best in making our dreams getting fulfilled if we want to do anything to prosper our community no matter what” said Kōsuke Hasegawa, a member of the Dazzled Hearts and the cousin of Subaru Hasegawa.

“It’s going to be our time to shine as we have entered the Era of Fuchsia and Celadon” said Yūki Ando, a member of the Dazzled Hearts.

“The Era of Fuchsia and Celadon is a new era that everyone is ready to engage themselves for a better change in our community” said Atsuko.

“With the history of the youth in Ōta had been changed every year, everyone knows that it’s their time to elevate themselves to prosper and shine their community through their hearts” said Shizuko.

“It’s going to be amazing that the youth will finally show their auras to prove that they’re here to make themselves comfortable and delighted to live up with their dreams” said Tadamoto.

“With the rise of the Bravehearts of Ōta, the future is getting brighter for everyone to witness” said Kyoko.

“Because it’s about time for them to move on from the past…” said Yurika.

“…shine their way in the present…” said Yōji.

“…and create new dreams in the future” said Tarō Sakurai, a member of the Dazzled Hearts.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the members of the Indigo Blaze.

“We want to be more optimistic and motivated to show our auras to everyone now that we’re entering to a new era of prosperity and hope because it’s going to be our time to make the change” said Toshinori.

“It’s been a while that we want to engage ourselves to make everyone comfortable with their hopes and dreams” said Nobutaka.

“As they want to be more like us to shine and prosper” said Naoko.

“Just like how the other young people in different wards in Tokyo did” said Manaka.

“When it comes to the youth’s ambition, they want to believe in those through their hearts because they want to make their confidence getting better to show with” said Haruya Kino, a first year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a member of the Indigo Blaze.

“They have their own mantra to work on their way out, so that they will make themselves earned one day” said Toshikazu Sugiura, a first year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a member of the Indigo Blaze.

“Everyone will be ready to shine to believe and inspire as they’re ready to make some thrills with each other to develop a great friendship with one way to another” said Sumire Miyashiro, a first year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a member of the Indigo Blaze.

“It’s going to be amazing that this is going to be their golden opportunity to make their dreams come true because they want to make themselves earned if they want to accomplish the unimaginable with the only way to do it is their confidence” said Yuka Hayakawa, a first year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a member of the Indigo Blaze.

“Hopefully, this new era will be the beginning of a new run for all of us, so that it’s going to be awesome and fantastic to enjoy our lives for sure!” said Kunio Igarashi, a first year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a member of the Indigo Blaze.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the members of the Dazzled Hearts.

“So, what do you think, guys? Are you going to help us finding more members of the Dragons of Ōta?” asked Toshinori.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Dazzled Hearts.

“Okay, then, let’s go outside!” said Toshinori.

“Okay!” said the members of the Dazzled Hearts as they’ll be going outside with Toshinori and his friends from the Indigo Blaze to start their co-habitation. Akira will be staying at the hall alongside Masako and the members of the Blue Wish Kirihara to take care of the guests.

At the central park of the Misawa Resort Hotel, the members of the Dazzled Hearts and the Indigo Blaze are looking at the guests all over the place.

“Look at those guests out here!” said Toshinori.

“Yeah, Toshinori. It looks like there are a lot of people staying here for just fun” said Risa.

“I guess that it’s going to be tough for all of us to find those former members of the Dragons of Ōta” said Ran.

“Unless someone is actually good at this” said Yoshitsugu.

“Well, you guys are in luck because I have two more guys going to be with us” said Toshinori.

“Who’s gonna be here?” asked Risa.

A male voice would be coming out from nowhere. “I’ll be taking care of this!” When the members of the Dazzled Hearts and the Indigo Blaze look around to see who that mystery person is, it was revealed to be Yoshiaki Kogure and Kōya Tanemoto, the close friends of Saki Nagatsuka from the Keishin Academy Middle School as they were second year middle school students.

“You must be Yoshiaki Kogure…” said Risa.

“…and Kōya Tanemoto?” added Ran.

“Yep!” said Yoshiaki Kogure and Kōya Tanemoto while giving the members of the Dazzled Hearts and the Indigo Blaze a smile.

“We’re very good in finding former members of the Dragons of Ōta because we have been able to witness those guys through our eyes, so that we’ll be able to see them” said Yoshiaki.

“We always focused on the blue group because blue is our favorite color and we always want to make it brighter to have the former members of the blue group being found” said Kōya.

“That’s very nice! I never thought that you guys are good at this because we haven’t known about the search until we finally found out that it happened all over the place” said Risa.

“Even they have already started those secretly where they didn’t reveal it from the start” said Ran.

“But it was finally been revealed when we saw Tomoka and her friends meeting with them” said Yoshitsugu.

“We were so surprised about this because it was all about the reconstruction that they want to finish their mission, so that they’ll get it done by blessing them” said Akinori.

“They want to convince them to support the revival of the Dragons of Ōta that have run for five years, so that they want to bring back the enjoyment that they have missed for a long time” said Aoi.

“Which means that it’ll be a hard mission to finish with as there are a lot of former members haven’t revealed their identities as former members of that group yet” said Kana.

“However, there are some guys who have unveiled themselves such as those from the Pink and Plum and the Associates of Blue Aura Ōta” said Kōsuke.

“Hopefully, when this mission is over, that would be their chance to revive the group that the warriors of Kasuragi built” said Yūki.

“Yeah, you’re right about that!” said Yoshiaki.

“Yep! That’s true!” said Kōya.

“Saki told me earlier that there are some guests that have appeared at the volleyball court in the Recreational Center where there are a lot of guys wearing blue shirts” said Yoshiaki.

“That’s why it could be the perfect place to find those former members of the Dragons of Ōta” said Kōya.

“Well, I would be happy to get into those!” said Atsuko.

“That would be amazing for us to find them!” said Shizuko.

“I can count on that!” said Tadamoto.

“Me too!” said Minami Kihara, a member of the Dazzled Hearts.

“It would be awesome to see who they will be coming from that group!” said Miho Ōsawa, a member of the Dazzled Hearts.

“We’ll be ready to see who they are, so that we’ll be able to remember their names” said Kyoko.

“They’ll be able to know us since they’re formerly part of the Dragons of Ōta” said Yurika.

“After that, we’ll convince them to support the revival of that group” said Yōji.

“It will be nice to make our co-habitation being paid off for sure!” said Tarō.

“Yes, indeed, guys! Since we’re members of the Dazzled Hearts, we have to work hard if we want to be blessed and inspired” said Risa.

“Just like how the other mainstream groups of the Bravehearts of Ōta did to their allies” said Ran.

“Where they have been able to develop their friendship with them through their auras” said Yoshitsugu.

“It’s going to be nice that we will be able to work together since we’re close with each other” said Akinori.

“Which means that we have to do it to make Saki proud!” said Aoi.

“She’ll be ready to bless us in return!” said Kana.

“Yeah, you’re right about, guys! Of course, we’re all prospered and determined friends of Saki, which means that we’ll be ready to do our best to make this co-habitation blooming and harmonious” said Toshinori.

“The co-habitation will allow us to start working on our own drive in trying to convince the former members of the Dragons of Ōta to support its revival” said Yoshiaki.

“We all know that the Dragons of Ōta was gone a year ago, but we want to see them returning before our very eyes” said Kōya.

“Which is why Saki had decided to call out her close friends on her side to work on the search to find the former members of the Dragons of Ōta” said Nobutaka.

“It will take a month to accomplish this because not only it will be our chance to step up to find those guys” said Naoko.

“But it will be awesome that we will see them prospering themselves to make sure that they will not let that group down again” said Manaka.

“If everyone is ready to show their hearts to find those lost guys to remember their names again…” said Haruya.

“…then, they’ll be ready to make them feel delighted and admired again” said Toshikazu.

“Hopefully, for all of us, we should be ready to get into action and find those guys right now” said Sumire.

“That way, we’ll be able to make them feel motivated that they want to see the Dragons of Ōta again” said Yuka.

“As soon as Noboru will finally make a call to bring it back one day” said Kunio.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Dazzled Hearts.

“Now that we’re all set, I think that it’s the best time to go to the volleyball court room at the Recreational Center, so that we’ll be doing this co-habitation together” said Risa.

“You got it, Risa-san!” said Toshinori while giving Risa a smile on his face before speaking to the members of the Dazzled Hearts and the Indigo Blaze. “Everyone, let’s go to the Recreational Center!”

“Okay!” said the members of the Dazzled Hearts and the Indigo Blaze as they agreed to start the co-habitation where they’ll be looking forward to find the former members of the Dragons of Ōta at the volleyball court room in the Recreational Center.

When the two groups have reached the Recreational Center to enter the volleyball court room, everyone is surprised to see a lot of guests coming out playing volleyball.

“Wow!” said Risa.

“It’s so amazing!” said Ran.

“They’re playing volleyball like that!” said Yoshitsugu.

“They’re having some fun to enjoy themselves!” said Atsuko.

“Hopefully, they’ll be indulging themselves to make sure that they have been blessed in playing that sport” said Kyoko.

“Yeah, I agree with that! Now, our priority is to find the former members of the Dragons of Ōta that are playing in separate courts” said Toshinori.

“There could be possibilities that they have worn their blue bracelets, which symbolizes their representation as former members of that said group” said Yoshiaki.

“If we want to get it done, then we have to find them in different groups” said Kōya.

“Good idea, Kōya!” said Risa before speaking to the members of the Dazzled Hearts and the Indigo Blaze. “Alright, listen up! We’re going to divide ourselves into eight groups where we’ll be looking forward to find the former members of the Dragons of Ōta. For Court #1, it will me, Ran, Yoshitsugu and Yoshiaki to find those guys from that group. Then, it would be followed by Court #2 where Atsuko, Shizuko, Kyoko, Yurika and Kōya will be finding those.”

“Next up, Court #3 will be headed by Aoi, Kana, Kōsuke, Akinori and Yūki before moving to Court #4 as it will be composed of the rest of the members of Atsuko’s group” said Ran.

“After that, it will be Court #5 where the other members of Kyoko’s team will be going to find the former members of the Dragons of Ōta. Then, Toshinori, Nobutaka and Naoko will be in change for Court #6” said Yoshitsugu.

“You got that right, Yoshitsugu-san! For Court #7, it will be Manaka, Haruya and Toshikazu to take care of business out there in finding the former members of the Dragons of Ōta and last but not the least, Court #8 will be occupied by Sumire, Yuka and Kunio” said Toshinori.

“So, are you guys clear with this court assignment?” asked Yoshiaki.

“Yeah, we understand!” said the members of the Dazzled Hearts and the Indigo Blaze.

“That’s great! Now, just to let you know, the courts will still be open until 3:00 in the afternoon as it will make way for the tournament final of the Ōta Blue Wind Cup, which will take place right after the semifinal matches” said Yoshiaki.

“Which means, we have to do this very quickly if we want to beat the clock when we’re going to find the former members of the Dragons of Ōta in separate courts. Do you guys agree?” said Kōya.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the members of the Dazzled Hearts and the Indigo Blaze.

“Now that we’re all set, I think that it’s time for us to start our co-habitation right now! Are you’re ready with this?” said Risa.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Dazzled Hearts and the Indigo Blaze.

“Then, let’s do it!” said Risa.

“Okay!” said the members of the Dazzled Hearts and the Indigo Blaze as they’ll be splitting themselves into eight groups to start finding the former members of the Dragons of Ōta in separate courts. The montage would show the eight groups starting to find the guests that are formerly part of the Dragons of Ōta by asking them if they’re familiar with that group before going for the second question on whether they’re former members of that group or not as soon as they answered ‘yes’ in the first question. After which, they would collect the information on the found former members of the Dragons of Ōta, so that they will be able to make progress in their search. The search continues with the members of the Dazzled Hearts and the Indigo Blaze have been able to find about 30% of the guests being formerly part of the Dragons of Ōta, but a few minutes later, it increases drastically due to some of them are coming from different groups other than just the blue group.

When the clock reaches 2:50 in the afternoon, they finish their co-habitation with the late lists being made before they’ll wrap it up at the central park in the Misawa Resort Hotel to conclude that activity with a set of reports.

“Whew! We made it, guys! 10 minutes before it hits 3 on the clock!” said Risa.

“Yep! Looks like we have found a lot of former members of the Dragons of Ōta” said Toshinori.

“Which means that we should report this to Saki on what we have found” said Yoshiaki.

“So that, we finally have some progress in the search for sure!” said Kōya.

“Yeah, we should!” said Risa, Ran, Yoshitsugu, Atsuko and Kyoko.

“But before we’ll do that, let’s round up some reports on each group that they have found the former members of the Dragons of Ōta” said Risa.

“This is the part where we’re going to look at the names that have been listed as former members of that group” said Ran.

“It’s great that we decided to stay at the central park, so that no one will reveal this secret at the same time” said Yoshitsugu.

“We should remain quiet if we don’t want to reveal it to anyone because it will cause any reaction to see this” said Atsuko.

“So, we have to be more careful if we don’t want to get caught on this” said Kyoko.

“Okay!” said the members of the Dazzled Hearts and the Indigo Blaze.

“Now, let’s start with the first group, composed of yours truly, Ran, Yoshitsugu and Yoshiaki. We have found five members that are coming from the cerulean group, composed of Takeshi Fukuzawa, Yūichi Katsumoto, Iroha Ōmori, Kayoko Takimoto and Takao Hamano” said Risa.

“They’re all coming from the Ishikawadai Middle School, studying in the second year level” said Ran.

“We looked at them earlier where they have played with their guts before taking their break at the moment” said Yoshitsugu.

“This is the part where we would finally have a chance to speak with them about how they have formerly joined the Dragons of Ōta” said Yoshiaki.

“We have been able to know their past when they were part of it as they have enjoyed themselves in making friends with their former friends in the cerulean group” said Risa.

“It’s so nice that we have found them that they have recalled their memories” said Ran.

“So that, they’ll be able to remember those times when they were part of it before they have moved on to their new lives as common youngsters to bless with” said Yoshitsugu.

“We will be more hopeful if they will be ready to make the difference in hoping for a new direction, so that they’ll be able to elevate themselves to have better hopes and dreams for sure!” said Yoshiaki.

“That’s very nice! I didn’t know that you have found those guys that have memories to treasure with” said Akinori.

“They have been prospered enough to show their hearts to their fellow friends on their side before moving on to their new journey” said Aoi.

“It’s so nice for them that they have recalled their memories to cherish themselves as former members of the Dragons of Ōta, which means that they’ll be delighted enough to keep those to make sure that they’ll never forget about their fantastic moments” said Kana.

“I have to say that you guys have been a great job in finding them because they have been able to recognize themselves in representing that group” said Kōsuke.

“That’s why they’ll never lose their hearts as they have shown their way to keep their auras coming out to shine after moving on from them” said Yūki.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Risa, Ran, Yoshitsugu and Yoshiaki.

“They have been motivated themselves that they have shown their confidence to keep their pride for that group” said Risa.

“But of course, they’ll never forget about that group when they have found new lives with their new groups” said Ran.

“It’s so amazing that we have seen them showing their smiles with each other, so that they’ll be able to bless themselves that even they’re no longer part of the Dragons of Ōta, they still have their own memories to treasure with” said Yoshitsugu.

“They’ll always be there to show their auras while proving themselves that they’re going to shine for their better future while keeping the name of the Dragons of Ōta into their hearts” said Yoshiaki.

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

“Now, it’s time to move on to the next group!” said Yoshiaki.

The montage would show the groups that they have found the former members of the Dragons of Ōta by saying their names and where they came from.

The second group, composed of Atsuko, Shizuko, Kyoko, Yurika and Kōya, would be the next group to share about what they have found in their own court assignment.

“In our search, we have found six members that are coming from the cerulean group” said Atsuko.

“Composed of Kōichirō Mizunami, Tamae Katō, Shigenori Yamamoto, Keigo Shiraki, Naomi Sawamura and Junko Isayama” said Shizuko.

“They are first year middle school students from the Yaguchi Middle School” said Kyoko.

“They have been very close with each other when they have first joined the Dragons of Ōta” said Yurika.

“And they have been prospered enough to show their smiles to make themselves comfortable” said Kōya.

Then, it would be followed by the third group, composed of Aoi, Kana, Kōsuke, Akinori and Yūki.

“We have found four members that are coming from the blue group” said Aoi.

“As they were all coming from the Tamagawa Middle School where they have studied at the third year middle school level” said Kana.

“They were Shinzō Kamekawa, Yurika Watanuki, Yukio Azuki and Sayaka Sumiyoshi” said Kōsuke.

“They have kept their bracelets ever since they have been part of the Dragons of Ōta” said Akinori.

“That’s why they’re always determined to keep their bracelets, so that they’ll be able to know their names for sure” said Yūki.

After that, it would be followed by the fourth group, composed of Minami, Miho, Yoshiko, Akihiro and Hideki.

“We have found four members of the Dragons of Ōta in Court #4, which they’re all coming from the blue group” said Minami.

“As they were composed of Mimina Nakamoto, Kazumi Ishihara, Fumie Sakanoue and Daiki Yoshimura” said Miho Ōsawa, a member of the Dazzled Hearts.

“They were second year middle school students from the Ōmori Daini Middle School” said Yoshiko Shindō, a member of the Dazzled Hearts.

“They have always engaged themselves to play volleyball because it’s their favorite sport” said Akihiro Hata, a member of the Dazzled Hearts.

“Of course, Mimina and Kazumi are varsity players because they’re so good at that sport” said Hideki Eda, a member of the Dazzled Hearts.

Next up, it will be the fifth group, which will be composed of Yōji, Tarō, Ryōsuke, Rikiya, Ayane and Miyū.

“We have found five members that are coming from the blue group” said Yōji.

“It would be composed of Akihisa Mayuzumi, Kazuaki Makiyama, Yoshifumi Suzuki, Ao Sekita and Chiharu Tominaga” said Tarō.

“These guys are coming from the Ōmori Daishi Middle School as third year middle school students” said Ryōsuke Hanamura, a member of the Dazzled Hearts.

“They have been very determined to get close with each other ever since they’re all childhood friends” said Rikiya Koga, a member of the Dazzled Hearts.

“They have been very close with each other as they want to show their blissful hearts to their friends on their side” said Ayane Murakawa, a member of the Dazzled Hearts.

“They’re more enough to show their pride and courage for them to bless everyone” said Miyū Ikeguchi, a member of the Dazzled Hearts.

Then, it would be the sixth group, composed of Toshinori, Nobutaka and Naoko, as they’re taking their turn to share.

“In our search, we got five guys that are playing in their court, which they’re all coming from the cerulean group” said Toshinori.

“They’re composed of Sōichi Ushijima, Kotaro Nitta, Amane Kurosaki, Takako Sudō and Masahiro Ōkawa, who were all second year middle school students from the Yasukata Middle School” said Nobutaka.

“Whenever they’re getting along with each other, they have shared their laughter and smile to make sure that they’ll make themselves comfortable. Of course, they’re prospered enough to develop their friendship like they have used to” said Naoko.

After that the seventh group, composed of Manaka, Haruya and Toshikazu, will be taking their turn to share about what they have found.

“We have found four members who were all first year middle school students from the Hasunuma Middle School and they were all coming from the blue group” said Manaka.

“They were Taiyō Kushida, Hideki Takayama, Miori Nozaki and Kana Iwahashi” said Haruya.

“They’re very determined to show their pride and courage to make sure that they’ll never let themselves down” said Toshikazu.

And last but not the least, the last group to share is the eighth group, composed of Sumire, Yuka and Kunio.

“Our group have found six members from the cerulean group that are coming from the Rokugō Middle School where they’re all third year middle school students” said Sumire.

“They were Chiyuki Tagawa, Mika Kawahara, Mitsuko Satō, Takamasa Yanagisawa, Kōzō Shirata and Atsuya Matsumoto” said Yuka.

“They were good enough to show their skills in volleyball because they’re uplifted and motivated, but of course, they’re very delighted to show their smiles to everyone” said Kunio.

Later, when Saki appeared to meet with her friends, Risa, Toshinori, Yoshiaki and Kōya would give the report to her.

“Here is the report, Saki!” said Risa.

“We have found some former members of the Dragons of Ōta that have played volleyball at the Recreational Center” said Toshinori.

“We also found some guys that are coming from the central park where we saw them chatting between the booths” said Yoshiaki.

“So, you can count those as well” said Kōya.

“Why, thank you, guys! I’m so happy that you have made some progress in finding the former members of the Dragons of Ōta. The other close friends of my fellow groupmates from the Bravehearts of Ōta have done the same thing earlier without losing themselves. So, I’m happy for you!” said Saki.

“Alright!” said the members of the Dazzled Hearts and the Indigo Blaze.

“Now, shall we go for some mid-afternoon break together?” asked Saki.

“Of course!” said Risa, Ran, Yoshitsugu, Toshinori, Yoshiaki and Kōya while the other members of the Dazzled Hearts and the Indigo Blaze shout “Yeah!” in unison as they will be gladly joining with Saki for some mid-afternoon break.

Saki, Risa, Ran, Yoshitsugu, Toshinori, Yoshiaki and Kōya would do their conversation while ordering some iced cold smoothies and hotdogs.

“You know, Saki, we’re very happy that we have worked hard to find the former members of the Dragons of Ōta and it seems that the progress had been started since last week” said Risa.

“It’s going to be amazing that there will be more former members to reveal themselves if they have their opportunity to recall themselves from the past” said Ran.

“We’re very determined that we have seen them motivated that they have remembered themselves, so that they’ll not lose their pride and willpower after all” said Yoshitsugu.

“I have to say that they’re feeling grateful that they have recalled themselves that they’re former members of the Dragons of Ōta because they want to be more prospered in remembering their moments that they have used to when they’re part of it” said Toshinori.

“They’re very confident that they will never forget those times now that they have moved on to their new lives” said Yoshiaki.

“However, one day, that group will be revived as soon as its leader is ready to give it back what it’s rightfully is” said Kōya.

“Yeah, you’re right about that, guys! It’s so nice for them to recall their memories in the past that they have been determined to be part of that group that the brave warriors of Kasuragi built and they have been very brave enough to remember that group because it’s their former home. I hope that once that group will be rising back from the ashes, everything will be happy to see them again, but this time, it would be different than before” said Saki.

“I hope so, Saki. I would definitely love to see them back because it would be better to have them run to show their prosperity and harmony to us” said Risa.

“Yeah, without them, it will be a shame that there will be no blessings coming out” said Ran.

“Even you and your fellow friends from the Bravehearts of Ōta have done that the most” said Yoshitsugu.

“So, we should be more prepared to wait for the right time to see the Dragons of Ōta back if Noboru will be able to regain his confidence back to see his former comrades coming out to support him again” said Yoshiaki.

“That way, Ōta will be prospered once again with blissful hearts and harmonious lives that they will cherish for” said Kōya.

“I agree with that, guys! It’s true that the spirit of the Dragons of Ōta have been gone ever since its disbandment, but there could be a second hope to see them back if there’s a miracle to happen. We should keep working together if we want to see the Dragons of Ōta back where it belongs. Right, guys?” said Saki.

“Yeah!” said Risa, Ran, Yoshitsugu, Toshinori, Yoshiaki and Kōya.

“There you go, Saki-san! Have fun with your food!” said Teruko Mitsumine, a second year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a friend of Akira Nagatsuka.

“Thanks, Teruko!” said Saki while giving Teruko a smile before giving the smoothies and hotdogs to her friends. “Now, let’s have some fun with mid-afternoon snacks, guys!”

“Okay!” said Risa, Ran, Yoshitsugu, Toshinori, Yoshiaki and Kōya as they’re happily thrilled to get along with Saki whenever she’s treating them for reward. The Dazzled Hearts and the Indigo Blaze have worked together to make their co-habitation being paid off where they have been able to find the former members of the Dragons of Ōta. They finally started to develop their friendship as Risa and Toshinori have been close to Saki, but they’re also close with each other due to their determination and motivation to make everyone comfortable through their hearts. Hopefully, they’ll continue to keep developing their friendship between them, so that they’ll prosper their friends on their side through the pride and willpower for everyone to cherish themselves.

The co-habitation between the Dazzled Hearts and the Indigo Blaze had been paid off after they met with each other at the hall in the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel where they have managed to find the former members of the Dragons of Ōta, thus, they have been able to work hard in making their friendship between two sides getting developed.

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES
CHAPTER 116: “THE LILLIES BRING HAPPINESS TO GLEAM AND CHERISH

Date: May 8, 2010 (Saturday)

This side story is focused on the members of the Stormred Higanbana as they are having a great afternoon to enjoy themselves during the final day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week where they have met Hiroka and Yuika Fukuzawa from the ward of Chuo, Fukuoka, which the former is a member of the Bravehearts of Minami Fukuoka while the latter is the cousin of the former and a first year high school student from the Nijigasaki Academy High School.

The members of the Stormred Higanbana are on their way to visit the pathway to the outdoor basketball courts as they’re going to occupy one of the courts to stay here for a while during the mid-afternoon. The outdoor basketball courts became empty after the semifinals of the Ōta Blue Wind Cup. They would pick the Outdoor Basketball Court #3, which is a good spot for them to play basketball.

Stormred Higanbana: Miyuki Matsuzaki, Katsuko Yoda, Yūki Iwamura, Konomi Jogo, Nobuyuki Nakasato, Setsuko Sakata, Kira Tanabe, Shun Asayama, Narumi Iriki, Sōichi Takayasu, Masako Inoue, Nobuhiko Nikaido, Shino Ōkuno, Suzuka Mitsuno, Satoshi Nagasato, Chisa Yoshimura, Aira Tsutsumi and Reo Sakanashi

“Now, this is the perfect place to play there, girls!” said Nobuyuki Nakasato, a member of the Stormred Higanbana.

“We could finally have a chance to play here!” said Shun Asayama, a member of the Stormred Higanbana.

“That way, we’ll be able to have some fun playing basketball during the mid-afternoon” said Sōichi Takayasu, a member of the Stormred Higanbana.

“I believe so, boys. This is the same place that Yasunori Matsubayashi, one of the members in our group and the leader of the sub-group Team Matsubayashi, watched the semifinal game between the Blue Verdant Fukuoka and the Shining Stars of Kase where Kazuhiro and his boys have led all the way to dominance to beat the guys from Saga to advance to the finals against the Rutile Phoenix, which is about to start a few minutes right now” said Miyuki Matsuzaki, the leader of the Stormred Higanbana.

“Really!? Are they here?!” shouted Nobuyuki, Shun, Sōichi, Nobuhiko, Satoshi and Reo. Reo is a male member of the Stormred Higanbana, despite having a long hair that is looked like a girl.

“Yep! He called me earlier about what’s happening in the match where Kazuhiro and his boys have worked hard in taking care of business against the boys of Saga” said Miyuki.

“Kazuhiro had been dominating the entire game and he never hold back to make sure that his team will be going to the finals” said Katsuko Yoda, the vice leader of the Stormred Higanbana.

“That’s why things are getting intense in the tournament where the two best players of Fukuoka, Kazuhiro Hatakenaka and Hidemitsu Oniki, will be battling against each other to determine the best player in Fukuoka” said Yūki Iwamura, a member of the Stormred Higanbana.

“They have been in the local lists for best players in Fukuoka, but hopefully, it’s going to be different when Hidemitsu is making his way to be part of the national rankings for the best players in his class with Kazuhiro” said Konomi Jogo, a member of the Stormred Higanbana.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Nobuyuki, Shun, Sōichi, Nobuhiko, Satoshi and Reo.

“I hope that it’s going to be more thrilling to witness this because it will be a fun game to watch!” said Nobuyuki.

“Kazuhiro had been dazzling his way to shine like he had used to since he’s the Blue Ace of Fukuoka” said Shun.

“We would be happy to see him shine like he’s about to get professional very soon” said Sōichi.

“Whenever we saw him in the court, he’s going to fire it up with his aura to do his best moves that can create shockwaves to the crowd” said Nobuhiko Nikaido, a member of the Stormred Higanbana.

“He can do whatever he wants when he’s going for primetime” said Satoshi Nagasato, a member of the Stormred Higanbana.

“Primetime is the best time for him to shine the most and he can do it without losing his auras for sure!” said Reo Sakanashi, a member of the Stormred Higanbana.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the members of the Stormred Higanbana.

“However, the Recreational Center is jam-packed with a lot of people watching that game, which means that they have closed the entrance to prevent some potential stampede that may happen” said Miyuki.

“It’s a great thing that we have stayed here, so that we’ll be protected from those bad things that are about to happen” said Katsuko.

“It’s going to take a while to wait for something big later on in their match, but I hope that Kazuhiro and his boys will nail it with the win” said Yūki.

“They know that they can make miracles to happen” said Konomi.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Stormred Higanbana.

“For now, let’s have some game of basketball right here!” said Miyuki.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Stormred Higanbana as they’re starting to play a game of basketball where the girls will be battling against the boys. Since they’ll be playing a 5-on-5 match, Reo will be one odd out as he will be acting as the coach of Nobuyuki’s team.

The battle between the two groups would be started where the boys are rallying with their shots going on while managing to take down the performance of the girls. Suddenly, Miyuki and Katsuko have been able to work hard with their moves as Miyuki does the passing while Katsuko finishing it with the layups. Then, they would work out with Yūki, Konomi and Setsuko to show their skills against the boys, which leads to the game being tied at 16.

Just then, Nobuyuki was able to score a three to regain the lead with a possible chance to clinch the game, but Miyuki responses it back with a jump shot to cut the lead to 1. The girls would continue to keep fighting against the boys when they have showed their defense to break down the offensive efforts of the boys including Yūki blocking Shun’s layup. After that, Miyuki runs through the fastbreak before passing the ball to Konomi, who would shoot the ball with the layup of her own to regain the lead for the girls.

“Wow! I can’t believe it!” said Kira Tanabe, a member of the Stormred Higanbana.

“Both teams are going back and forth with their plays being solid and stunning!” said Narumi Iriki, a member of the Stormred Higanbana and the cousin of Fujie Iriki, a member of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka.

“They’re having a clash to see who the better team is and I don’t know if the girls can prove better than the boys, but I hope that they’ll get the close win if they can manage to take down the efforts of the boys again” said Masako Inoue, a member of the Stormred Higanbana.

“Yeah, I believe so, Masako-san. It will be great to see the boys trying to take care of business, but the boys aren’t giving up like they used to be” said Shino Ōkuno, a member of the Stormred Higanbana.

“I say that they’ll not be holding back since they got the lead first” said Suzuka Mitsuno, a member of the Stormred Higanbana.

“Which means that the boys may have a possible chance to steal the game if they’re lucky to keep their performance going well” said Chisa Yoshimura, a member of the Stormred Higanbana.

“Yeah, they would, but let’s see who can finish the game first” said Aira Tsutsumi, a member of the Stormred Higanbana.

“Yeah!” said Kira, Narumi, Masako, Shino, Suzuka and Chisa.

Later, a group of young girls would arrive at the Outdoor Basketball Court #3 as they have watched the members of the Stormred Higanbana playing a game of basketball. They are Hiroka Fukuzawa, Chiharu Imagawa, Kazuha Moriyama, Setsuko Aragaki, Chiya Ishimine, Fuyuko Hanamori and Tomoe Azuna, who were all third year middle school students from the Tōka Seigyo Middle School. They would be joined by Hiroka’s cousin Yuika Fukuzawa, a member of the Fukuoka Union of Alstroemerias and a first year high school student from the Nijigasaki Academy High School.

“Wow! Look at those guys playing basketball!” said Chiharu Imagawa.

“They’re showing their skills like how the professional basketball players did!” said Kazuha Moriyama.

“Yep! They have been able to learn their moves, so that they’ll shine themselves, proving that they’re good at it” said Hiroka Fukuzawa.

“They’ll definitely looked good in balling their way to make their moves and hopefully, they’ll not lose their groove for sure” said Yuika Fukuzawa.

“Yeah!” said Chiharu, Kazuha, Setsuko, Chiya, Fuyuko and Tomoe.

The game continues with Nobuyuki trying to find an open spot to pass as he was guarded by Setsuko. Eventually, Satoshi would run through the paint while asking Nobuhiko to pass the ball.

“Pass the ball, Nobuyuki-san!” said Satoshi.

“Okay!” said Nobuyuki as he’s about to pass the ball to Satoshi when Miyuki tips the ball out of nowhere. “WHAT?!”

“You got to be kidding me!” said Satoshi.

Miyuki would grab the ball before running to the other side of the court. Miyuki would pass the ball to Katsuko to give her the finishing move. “Let’s make it count!”

“You got it, Miyuki-san!” said Katsuko as she performs the ankle breaker move on Shun, letting him stumble to the ground before driving past him, so that she will do the quick layup to end the game and give the victory to Miyuki’s team.

“Alright! Our girls are better than the boys!” said Kira.

“Yep! They’re seizing the day again because they won’t want to get quit early!” said Narumi.

“It’s so nice that they have done it all to make sure that they’ll be able pull it off for the win” said Masako.

“Yeah!” said Shino, Suzuka, Chisa and Aira.

The boys would shake hands with the girls as a sign of sportsmanship between them after the match is over.

“That was a nice game, Miyuki-san!” said Nobuyuki.

“Yeah, it’s so much fun that we have played against each other, Nobuyuki-san!” said Miyuki.

“Of course, it is!” said Nobuyuki.

“You know, guys, it’s so awesome that we have enjoyed getting along with each other while visiting this place” said Shun.

“We just stayed here for two days and two nights where we want to have some indulgence coming out to enjoy” said Sōichi.

“It’s a great blessing for all of us to show that we’re blooming together to have a wonderful day like we used to all the time” said Nobuhiko.

“Whenever we go out to gleam and shine, we have a lot of things to cherish with, so that we’ll be able to make us more comfortable and better” said Satoshi.

“Hopefully, we’ll keep this up no matter what because it’s going to be awesome to bring some blessings to everyone in our side, especially that we’re going to have new friends that we’ll be meeting with” said Reo.

“Yes, of course! After we were surprised that Keiko and her friends from the Bravehearts of Fukuoka have developed their friendship with the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta, we finally believe that we can cherish everyone who are indeed close to us as we want to be friendlier like the other groups that they have used to show their smiles to everyone” said Miyuki.

“Which is why it’s very important to make friends whether you’re close to them or not, but of course, you’ll be ready to enjoy yourself with your thrills to come out with” said Katsuko.

“It’s so nice that we have seen a lot of surprises since we entered this place yesterday like that, which means that we’re very determined to keep the pride, courage and willpower for everyone to gleam and shine” said Yūki.

“The more that we have gleamed and shined through our auras, the better we will be more blessed and inspired to make us feel good. Right, guys?” said Konomi.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Stormred Higanbana.

“It feels great that we’re all here to make some big moments to shine with and hopefully, by the end of our stay, which will be tomorrow, we will never forget all of those through our hearts, so that we’re all determined to keep the harmony for us to be bloomed and harmonious for sure!” said Miyuki.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Stormred Higanbana.

Later, Reo would call out the members of the Stormred Higanbana as he shouts at them through an alert. “Hey, guys! We have some company!”

Miyuki would turn around to see Hiroka, Yuika and the friends of the former.

“I’m so impressed that you had played basketball earlier” said Hiroka.

“I say that you got some talents to show up to make sure that you’re all good to get balling in the court” said Yuika.

“Thanks, girls! We just finished the game earlier with me and my friends rallied our way to victory over the boys” said Miyuki.

“Yeah! We’re taking care of business to make sure that we’re good in running the court like how Keiko and her friends used to” said Katsuko.

“Ah, that’s great!” said Hiroka.

Nobuyuki would ask Hiroka and Yuika a question. “Wait a minute. Are you guys from the Bravehearts of Minami Fukuoka?”

“Well, I’m only the person who joined that group while Yuika had moved to Minato to study at the Nijigasaki Academy High School” said Hiroka.

“WHAT!?” shouted the members of the Stormred Higanbana, but only Miyuki and Katsuko didn’t say anything about it.

“No way!” shouted Yūki.

“You got to be kidding me!” exclaimed Konomi.

“I can’t believe this!” reacted Nobuyuki.

“Are you serious?!” added Setsuko Sakata, a member of the Stormred Higanbana.

“That was so surprising!” shouted Kira.

“There’s no way a Fukuoka native can move to Tokyo like that!” exclaimed Shun.

“It’s hard to study in Tokyo, but thank goodness that you earned it!” reacted Narumi.

“Yep! I took the entrance exam last school year to have a chance to study at the Nijigasaki Academy High School because I want to have new opportunities to make new friends because the students from that school are more compassionated and friendlier with their own thrills to show with” said Yuika.

“Ah, okay” said Yūki, Konomi, Nobuyuki, Setsuko, Kira, Shun and Narumi.

“So, do you remember me, guys?” asked Yuika.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Stormred Higanbana.

“You’re one of the guests that visited the Hatakenaka Residence for Keiko’s birthday last year!” said Miyuki.

“That means, you must be Yuika Fukuzawa!” said Katsuko.

“Yes, I am!” said Yuika while giving Miyuki and Katsuko a smile on her face.

“It’s nice to see you again, Yuika-san!” said Miyuki.

“I can’t believe that you were able to visit this place for the celebration too!” said Katsuko.

“You got that right! You see, I got a permission from the class president in my section in the international exchange course that I have to visit this place because I’m one of the members of the Fukuoka Union of Alstroemerias, which means that I can’t miss their activities to make sure that I’m always present all the time. It’s a great thing that my cousin Hiroka called me out to be with her and her friends on her side, so that I’ll be able to indulge myself to enjoy while celebrating this magnificent event” said Yuika. The class president of Shizuku and Yuika’s class is Marika Yamazaki.

“Oh, that’s great! I’m loving it! I guess that you’re here to make yourself thrilled to celebrate this event” said Miyuki.

“Of course, you came here because you want to be with your friends from the Bravehearts of Minami Fukuoka” said Katsuko.

“Yeah!” said Yuika.

“By the way, who is that girl alongside Yuika?” asked Satoshi.

“Oh, I almost forgot to tell you that this girl that joined with Yuika is Hiroka Fukuzawa, her cousin and a member of the Bravehearts of Minami Fukuoka” said Miyuki.

“Wait a minute, Miyuki-san. You know any other bravehearts from different groups?!” reacted Satoshi.

“Don’t tell me that you have been making friends with them!” said Nobuhiko.

“Yes, I did! Hiroka is a friend of mine who used to hang out with her fellow friends from her batch, not only in her school, but those that are also part of the braveheart groups in our hometown” said Miyuki.

“She became friends with Maiko Hisayama, which influenced between Yuika and the latter due to them being part of the Fukuoka Union of Alstroemerias” said Katsuko.

“That’s true, Katsuko-san! When Yuika became a member of the Fukuoka Union of Alstroemerias, she started to make friends with those that are part of it where they have hanged out with each other once in a month to enjoy their indulgence and happiness that they never miss. Of course, I became friends with Maiko because she’s more adored to have an idol career that she had, which she became the only member of that group to have an ambitious career in the entertainment industry” said Hiroka.

“Oh, I see! I can’t believe that you’re more influenced to have connections with your cousins’ friends!” said Yūki.

“It means that you used to get along with them whenever they want to indulge themselves for fun and excitement” said Konomi.

“It’s so nice that you’re more compassionated to cherish them as you want them to be more comfortable to make your cousin feeling thrilled” said Nobuyuki.

“Yep! While Yuika had joined the Fukuoka Union of Alstroemerias, I, on the other hand, decided to join the Bravehearts of Minami Fukuoka because Mitsuko had encouraged me to get involved in helping everyone to motivate and I love helping people to make themselves comfortable. Yuika had also planned to join that group, but since she already took her exam in Nijigasaki, she didn’t able to join though. Of course, I’m very compassionated to be part of the Bravehearts of Minami Fukuoka because I love to cherish my friends in that group to develop my friendship with them and they’ll be able to make me feel comfortable to be with them. I always love to smile when I’m being part of that braveheart group and I’ll be happy to prosper everyone through my aura to gleam” said Hiroka.

“Oh, that’s very awesome! I’m very surprised that you have been part of that group, so that you’ll be able to enjoy yourself getting with your friends in that group” said Setsuko Sakata.

“I’m feeling delighted that you have shown your way to bless everyone to make sure that they’ll be delighted to gain some respect on you” said Kira.

“I have to say that you have a lot of ambitions to take up with since you’re a member of the Bravehearts of Minami Fukuoka” said Shun.

“Which means that you’re more determined to have a good life to enjoy with for yourself” said Narumi.

“Yes, it is!” said Hiroka.

“And who are with your friends out here?” asked Shōichi.

“These are my friends of mine, composed of Chiharu Imagawa, Kazuha Moriyama, Setsuko Aragaki, Chiya Ishimine, Fuyuko Hanamori and Tomoe Azuna” said Hiroka.

“We came from her class as classmates” said Chiharu.

“Where we used to get along with each other all the time” said Kazuha.

“From working together on our activities to school to hanging out with each other during breaks and after classes” said Setsuko Aragaki.

“We became very close to Hiroka as she had been able to give us the blessings that we have” said Chiya Ishimine.

“Especially that she joined the Bravehearts of Minami Fukuoka last spring as part of Mitsuko’s idea of bringing influence between her close friends and that group” said Fuyuko Hanamori.

“We’re always feeling comfortable to be with Hiroka and of course, we never let her down as always” said Tomoe Azuna.

“Wow! I’m so surprised that you have friends that have cherished you, Hiroka-san!” said Sōichi.

“I’m very happy that you have them to make sure that they’ll respect you with their hearts” said Masako.

“They’re more determined to show their blessings to you since you want them to be comfortable just like you” said Nobuhiko.

“I always believe in friends because they want to have their confidence getting bloomed” said Shino.

“And they’ll make sure that they don’t want to lose them as long as they’ll keep developing their friendship at the same time” said Suzuka.

“Yes, indeed! I’m very humble when I gotten along with my friends, especially if they wanted to be with me for my interests, which I made them very cherished, so that they’ll be able to make themselves comfortable with their smiles. That’s why I’m very determined to bless them like how the other members of the Bravehearts of Minami Fukuoka used to and so, I’ll be more prepared to bless and inspire everyone like I had cared for them” said Hiroka.

“That’s very nice, Hiroka-san! I think that you’re more expressive to make feelings to them because they want you to shine yourself like the way your fellow friends did” said Miyuki.

“That’s why you’re more determined to motivate yourself and stayed compassionated as a braveheart” said Katsuko.

“Which is why you’re always coming out to bless and inspire anyone on your side to make sure that they’ll be happy to get along with you” said Yūki.

“So that, you’ll be able to admire them with your smile” said Konomi.

“Yeah, I always done that to make them feel comfortable and admired and of course, you should do the same thing to show that you’re here to shine for them, of course!” said Hiroka.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Stormred Higanbana.

“By the way, Hiroka-san and Yuika-san, are you two good in playing basketball?” asked Satoshi.

“Hey!” replied Chisa while elbowing Satoshi.

“Ow! That hurts!” said Satoshi while running his arm.

“Why, yes, we are!” said Hiroka and Yuika.

“We have been playing basketball with our friends such as Maiko Takayama and Saaya Miyakawa where we have been able to learn the moves that we have after we watched them showing their moves in one of the games last year” said Hiroka.

“We also took some moves from PE classes when the teachers used to teach us the moves and we’re very great in making those for ourselves to groom” said Yuika.

“Maybe, you can learn a move to show us, so that we’ll be greatly confident enough to use it” said Chisa.

“Yeah, show us!” said Aira.

“Okay!” said Hiroka and Yuika while nodding their heads to agree with Chisa’s request. Hiroka would borrow the ball from Miyuki before dribbling the ball to create some space for her to make her move. She does the double move before heading to the paint to make her own move, which is the reverse layup.

“Oh, wow! I can’t believe that you did that move!” said Satoshi.

“That reverse layup was so nasty!” said Chisa.

“You must be good at that move!” said Aira.

“I’m liking that one!” said Reo.

“Thanks, guys! I learned it from Saaya, who had been very charismatic and confident to take care of the court as the big girl in her team” said Hiroka.

“She’s formidable to create her own moves to dazzle with when she’s holding the ball to make sure that she’s good in finishing those all by herself” said Yuika.

“That was a nice move that you have, Hiroka-san!” said Miyuki.

“I’m so surprised when you did that move with your auras coming out to get through” said Katsuko.

“You should be more dazzling when you’re stepping up like the way your friends from the Bravehearts of Minami Fukuoka have used to when they’re running together in the court” said Yūki.

“That way, you’re getting consistent to make your own shots to groove” said Konomi.

“Well, to be honest, I didn’t join the varsity team because I ain’t good at other moves that they have used to, but I want to learn it from my friends to make sure that I can do it to make myself shining through my auras. That will allow me to impress them to make sure that I’m feeling determined to play basketball” said Hiroka.

“Okay, that’s more blooming and prestigious to say that, Hiroka-san. I hope that you can work on your moves before you’ll have a chance to step up in any future competition in Minami” said Miyuki.

“That way, you’ll have a chance to prove it!” said Katsuko.

“Yeah, I will!” said Hiroka.

“What about you, Yuika-san? Did you learn anything from your friends?” asked Nobuyuki.

“Yes, of course! I’m good in crossing over with the ball before doing my moves just like how Maiko and Mitsuko did” said Yuika.

“Can you show it to us?” asked Setsuko Sakata.

“Yeah, you should shine if you want to make us feel good!” said Kira.

“Okay, then! I’ll give it a try!” said Yuika.

“Hooray!” said Nobuyuki, Setsuko and Kira.

Yuika would go to the free throw line as she’s dribbling the ball before performing her double move by crossing over through the left and shooting the ball with a jumpshot and the ball drives to the basket.

“Wow! I can’t believe it!” said Nobuyuki.

“She did the crossover move without facing her opponent…” said Setsuko Sakata.

“…being moving through the left to shoot the ball with that jumpshot” said Kira.

“That was so awesome!” said Shun.

“I’m so surprised that she did that move like how the professional basketball players from the NBA did!” said Narumi.

“I have to say that your moves rock!” said Sōichi.

“You should be more dazzling when you’re doing those moves, so that you’ll be able to make some transition to have a perfect play to finish with!” said Masako.

“Thanks, guys! I have used those moves when me and my former classmates in Tōka Seigyo are practicing for the ball tournament in our year level last year. In that tournament, we were so close of winning the final against Fumie Azusagawa and her team from section 3-2, but we lost that game though” said Yuika. She is a former student of section 3-3 when she was a student of the Tōka Seigyo Middle School.

“Well, you’re seemed to be great in playing that sport since you were able to learn those from your friends from the Bravehearts of Minami Fukuoka” said Miyuki.

“I have to say that you’re very confident to make your moves to shine because you want to rally your team for the win” said Katsuko.

“It feels great that you and your cousin have learned a lot of moves that you used to make it count in leading your team to victory” said Yūki.

“It will be awesome if you will be able to shine for more, so that you’ll be able to dazzle your way just like how your friends from the Bravehearts of Minami Fukuoka did” said Konomi.

“To be honest, I’m not that bad in playing basketball because I had been able to show my moves to my opponents, so that I can surprise them without hesitation. I hope that I will be more prepared to play basketball with my fellow classmates in Nijigasaki as soon as they’re ready to shine through the stars” said Yuika.

“That’s going to be more interesting that you’ll be ready to make your friends out there to have fun playing basketball, so that they’ll be able to have a good friendship with them” said Miyuki.

“You’ll be able to cherish them with your smile because they’re more determined to get closer to you one day” said Katsuko.

“Of course, I will! I hope that I can do that at some other time, but for now, I will focus on my studies to make sure that I’m on the right track to make progress in my studies” said Yuika.

“Ah, okay! Good luck with that!” said Miyuki.

“I’m sure that you’ll get earned one day if you will be able to work hard to have good grades in different subjects by the end of the first term” said Katsuko.

“Yes, I will!” said Yuika while giving Miyuki and Katsuko a smile.

“Since you girls are here, I think that we should know about your future because we want to be more prospered to see you making progress to make yourselves getting thrilled and motivated” said Miyuki.

“It will be great that you will be able to bless and inspire your community as you want them to be more compassionated with their blessings” said Katsuko.

“The more that you have some bright ideas to share with…” said Yūki.

“…the better that you’ll be more blessed and inspired that your community will be ready to elevate for a better future” said Konomi.

“Okay!” said Hiroka, Yuika, Chiharu, Kazuha, Setsuko, Chiya, Fuyuko and Tomoe.

Hiroka, Yuika and the friends of the former would be joining with the members of the Stormred Higanbana to walk to the stairway to have their own conversation about their future.

“So, what your future would be like for your friends, Hiroka-san?” asked Miyuki.

Hiroka would answer the question that Miyuki asked as she’s very compassionated to make answers like how she did well in her class. “For me, I want to encourage my friends to shine their way with their auras if they want to make the difference because I want to help them grow with their hopes and dreams to be fulfilled if they want to do something big to admire me. I had been enjoyed when I was getting along with them, especially that my fellow friends from the Bravehearts of Minami Fukuoka have motivated me to get moving and show that I’ll be prospering everyone. Of course, I also want to be generous in making my own circle of friends because right after Mitsuko had formed her own extended group last spring, I want to inspire that by doing the same thing, however, I have to meet up with my close friends to make it happen.”

“That’s interesting! I never thought that you’re going to have a circle of friends that you want to be with them!” said Miyuki.

“It will be amazing that you’re going to make them feel good as soon as they want to be prepared to bless and inspire you” said Katsuko.

“Yeah, of course! The main reason for this is because I want to collaborate with them for some fantastic activities to make my community getting prospered enough to show their blessings with each other and Mitsuko told me that it will benefit me and my friends to have more blessings just like how she did to her close friends. As a member of the Bravehearts of Minami Fukuoka, I want to get involved in blessing everyone through their hearts, so that I’ll be thrilled to make them comfortable and delighted as my friendship with them will continue to grow” said Hiroka.

“Well, that sounds like a good plan that you want to make your community growing with blessings, Hiroka-san” said Yūki.

“Every braveheart can make that move without a doubt to make sure that they’ll be ready to grow with you” said Konomi.

“It will be amazing that you’re going to have some brighter future to prosper with because you’re more determined to make them feel good” said Nobuyuki.

“Of course, you can cherish them with your smiles as they wanted to see you shine with your fellow friends from the Bravehearts of Minami Fukuoka” said Setsuko Sakata.

“Hopefully, you’ll be more energetic to work on your circle of friends, so that you’ll be able to bless and inspire everyone in your community and you’ll be more grateful to create your future for sure” said Kira.

“Yeah, I agree with that, guys! As soon as I’m ready to have my circle of friends being formed, I’m going to take care of everyone to make them prestigious and admired. Right, girls?” said Hiroka.

“Yeah, Hiroka-san!” said Chiharu, Kazuha, Setsuko, Chiya, Fuyuko and Tomoe.

“What about you, Yuika-san? What did you have in your mind about your future?” asked Miyuki.

“My future is to build my own connection circle that will be composed of my friends from Fukuoka and Tokyo where we’ll be planning to organize collaborative activities by summer when they’ll meet each other during the summer break. I want to make them feel motivated to be with them when we’re going to organize those because it will make us feel good to develop our friendship like we’re shining together through our rainbow hearts. Hopefully, we’ll be ready to assemble ourselves when the time is come to do anything blooming and harmonious” said Yuika.

“Oh! So, you want to have your own connection to create with?” surprisingly said Miyuki.

“Yep!” said Yuika.

“Well, I’m so surprised to you have a plan that you’re gonna work for your friends on your side!” said Miyuki.

“You’ll be thrilled that you’re going to be connected with your friends that you have in both Fukuoka and Tokyo” said Katsuko.

Yuika would give Miyuki and Katsuko a smile before replying to them. “Yes, it is! Since I’m a student from the Nijigasaki Academy High School, I can do anything to shine through my smile because I’m very interested in making friends to make them cherished. Of course, I want to be more connected to them since they’re here to admire me, especially that I’m a fan of Amana and Tenka due to their admiration and prestigiousness that I have inspired them. When I entered Nijigasaki, I started to make new friends there including Shizuku, who is a member of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, and I had been very compassionated to be with them whenever I gotten along with them during our class. When the class is over, I used to meet up with my fellow classmates at the dormitory where we have enjoyed a lot of activities that we indulged. I’m so happy that I had been blessed by them as they have showed their smiles to make sure that they’ll never let me down for sure!”

“That’s very nice! I’m very happy that you have been feeling blessed that you have friends in your current school ever since you leave our hometown because you want to be more confident to get along with them” said Miyuki.

“I have to say that you’re very friendly to give them some blessings as you have been more determined to make your friends comfortable through your heart” said Katsuko.

“It’s so nice that you have been charismatic to your friends when you want them to be with you” said Yūki.

“Which means that they have been able to develop their friendship with you to make sure that they’ll be blessed enough to motivate you for more” said Konomi.

“I’m always happy when I saw everyone had been compassionated to be with their friends because they have their own opportunities to motivate them” said Nobuyuki.

“The way that you made your friends feel comfortable was so nice that you have been able to cherish them without a doubt” said Setsuko Sakata.

“You’ll be grateful to show your smiles to them when you’re going to get along with them, so that you’ll be able to keep developing your friendship with them like the bravehearts have used to all the time” said Kira.

“Yeah, I agree, guys! Even I didn’t join a braveheart group, I’m still very confident to make friends because I want them to be more thrilled, so that we have enjoyed ourselves to create big moment to shine with. Hopefully, when I’m going to build my own connection circle, I’ll be ready to let them groom to bless the community like I used to when I did that back in middle school” said Miyuki.

“Of course, you did, cousin! Back when you’re in Tōka Seigyo, you became friends with some members of the Bravehearts of Minami Fukuoka because you admired them to show their pride and willpower, so that you’ll be uplifted to follow the examples of them of being blessed and inspired” said Hiroka.

“You were more determined just like Mitsuko, who used to show her determined to make her moments to shine” said Chiharu.

“That’s why you started to make the difference to make sure that you’ll be able to prosper everyone on your side like how your friends from the Bravehearts of Minami Fukuoka did” said Kazuha.

“It’s so great that you have been more expressive to show your friends some smile because they have known you that you’re the fan of the Ōsaki twins” said Setsuko Aragaki.

“Any fan of the Ōsaki twins or Alstroemeria can show some happiness to them because they want to see you shine” said Chiya.

“Hopefully, you’ll be able to indulge them to make yourself comfortable to be a fan of them” said Fuyuko.

“That way, it will be so nice that you’ll be able to shine like them” said Tomoe.

“Yeah, I can count on that because I’m feeling delighted to show my smiles to everyone. Even I’m currently studying in Nijigasaki, I’m still determined to make myself prospered to admire the Ōsaki twins and hopefully, I’ll be able to keep doing that to make them proud” said Yuika.

“Yeah!” said Hiroka, Chiharu, Kazuha, Setsuko, Chiya, Fuyuko and Tomoe.

“Speaking of which, I heard that you’re a classmate of Shizuku” said Miyuki.

“Yeah, she’s very adimred and prestigious to perform as a school idol” said Katsuko.

“And she always give you a smile when you cherished her through your heart” said Yūki.

“Which means that you must be very charismatic to be friends with her” said Konomi.

“Yes, that’s true, girls. Shizuku was my schoolmate in my class in the international exchange course and she had been aiming to be an actress while working as a school idol because she’s very determined to admire everyone and she’ll not gonna let everyone down” said Yuika.

“Oh, that’s very nice! I’m so glad that you had been friends with her!” said Setsuko Sakata.

“You’re seemed to be looked like her because you’re more admired and prestigious to show your smile to your friends” said Narumi.

“I’m feeling uplifted that you had her being a special friend because she’s so nice and friendly” said Masako.

“She had been very determined to make her school idol career successful as she’s feeling compassionated to admire everyone on her side” said Shino.

“Especially that she had been cheering for them with a smile that she had” said Suzuka.

“I’m going to be indulged when she’ll be performing for you because she’ll be ready to shine her way to make sure that she’ll be cheering for you” said Chisa.

“You can always give her a smile if you want to make her feel good for sure!” said Aira.

“Yeah, I will!” said Yuika.

“What are you going to plan for your connection circle, Yuika-san?” asked Nobuyuki.

“For my connection circle, it will be composed of my friends from Fukuoka and Tokyo where the former will be mostly my former classmates that I befriended them including Akina Miyazato and Miki Takayama while the latter will be my current friends that I have, especially that I also became friends with Kuniko Miyata and Mieko Tomizawa, who were very close to Shizuku” said Yuika. Miki is a first year high school student from the Tōka Seigyo High School and the older sister of Maiko Takayama. She’s also a member of the Bravehearts of Minami Fukuoka.

“That one sounds promising to me!” said Nobuyuki.

“I have to say that you’re ready to build that one to make your connection circle blooming and harmonious” said Shun.

“Yeah, I hope so” said Yuika.

“Who are those friends that you have in Nijigasaki?” asked Sōichi.

“They were Yūko Murakawa, Sayaka Matsuyama, Harumi Kanno, Tomoyo Itagaki and Maiko Iwatani” said Yuika.

“Those names are cool to recognize, Yuika-san!” said Sōichi.

“Your friends are more thrilled to get along with you!” said Nobuhiko.

“I have to say that your friends are very compassionated to get closer to you” said Satoshi.

“That way, they’ll be delighted to get along with you, which will allow your friendship will develop for more” said Reo.

“Yeah! I’m very thrilled that I have gotten along with my friends in Nijigasaki, especially that Shizuku is very special for me because she always given me the courage to step up and shine, so that I will be able to make her happy that I have cherished myself with my friends. It feels good to have friends that they have been optimistic to be closer to you, so that they’ll be feeling blessed that you have admired them through your heart” said Yuika.

“I agree with your words about making some courage and thrill to friends because it benefits us to give them some blessings that they will shine with, so that they’ll be able to prosper themselves in making friends” said Miyuki.

“We did that when we have shined our community to make sure that we’re gonna make our allies feel good to be blessed and inspired” said Katsuko.

“Our circle of friends had been growing since we formed those last year, so that we want to be more delighted to create bigger moments with our allies when we want to have our opportunity to shine our community” said Yūki.

“Just like how the members of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka did!” said Konomi.

“It feels grateful that we have been able to show our pride and willpower to make our community growing with blessings and inspirations, so that they’ll be able to cherish themselves” said Setsuko Sakata.

“They’ll be more opportunistic to show their smiles to us when they have been able to shine with us, which means that they’ll be able to get earned without hesitation” said Kira.

“The more that we made them feel comfortable, the better that they’ll be able to bless us for more” said Narumi.

“Hopefully, we’ll be able to keep it up to make sure that we’ll be able to get blessed and inspired as the Stormred Higanbana will continue to flourish our community with blooming hearts and harmonious smiles” said Masako.

“That’s very nice to make your friends in your hometown getting their blessings to shine with, girls!” said Yuika.

“I’m very delighted and thrilled that you have been able to shine your way for your community to become blessed and inspired. I hope that you’ll be able to keep it up to make sure that they’ll be growing with blessings and inspirations to make their future getting brighter for sure!” said Hiroka.

“Yeah, we will!” said the members of the Stormred Higanbana.

“Our opportunities will continue to grow when we’re running our group together” said Miyuki.

“And hopefully, we’ll be more compassionated and thrilled to have our future getting brighter with hopes and dreams to be created” said Katsuko.

“Yeah!” said Hiroka, Yuika, Chiharu, Kazuha, Setsuko, Chiya, Fuyuko and Tomoe.

“Ah… I’m so glad that we have talked a lot of things about this as you’re all contemplating to see something blooming in the future” said Miyuki.

“It will be awesome that you’ll be ready to shine your way to make sure that you’ll be able to become blessed and inspired for sure!” said Katsuko.

“Yeah!” said Hiroka and Yuika.

“We’re very determined to have our future ready to bloom to show that we’re here to shine with our smiles” said Hiroka.

“It’s going to be great that we’re ready to prosper everyone on our side, so that we’ll be able to make us blessed and inspired as our community will be growing themselves with hopes and dreams to be created. Right, girls?” said Yuika.

“Yeah!” said Chiharu, Kazuha, Setsuko, Chiya, Fuyuko and Tomoe.

“By the way, since we have known with each other for a long time since the last time that we met, we should start developing our own friendship with you, so that one day, we’ll be ready to work together as soon as possible” said Hiroka.

“Well, I’m not sure about this, Hiroka-san, but usually, Keiko had agreed the ideas that she wanted to gleam with whenever she’s meeting with her fellow bravehearts from different braveheart groups around her hometown” said Miyuki.

“Keiko said that she can only agree those if something is blooming and promising to work with” said Katsuko.

“So that, it will allow those activities to be running with everyone will be happy to create their own moments to gleam and shine with” said Yūki.

“It will be a pleasure to have your idea to be approved if Keiko will be here, but since she isn’t here as she’s busy getting along with her fellow bravehearts from the Bravehearts of Fukuoka, then we’ll be considering to agree it on her behalf” said Konomi.

“Alright!” said Hiroka, Yuika, Chiharu, Kazuha, Setsuko, Chiya, Fuyuko and Tomoe.

“That’s so cool! I’m happy that we will have a great friendship in our hands!” said Hiroka.

“I’m feeling delighted that we will have new friends to enjoy with since we have so many friends from my group!” said Yuika as she referred her group to the Fukuoka Union of Alstroemerias.

“It will be awesome that we’re gonna shine with you guys!” said Chiharu.

“We’re very optimistic to show our smiles, so that we’ll be able to make us blessed and inspired to be you!” said Kazuha.

“We will be able to collaborate with you guys one day if we want to shine together as one!” said Setsuko Aragaki.

“The more that we’ll be growing our friendship…” said Chiya.

“…the better that we’ll be able to have blessings that we have cherished with!” said Fuyuko.

“It’s going to be amazing that we’re ready to get along with each other to make sure that we’ll be able to prospered to gleam and admire everyone for sure!” said Tomoe.

“Yeah, we will!” said the members of the Stormred Higanbana.

“Hopefully, we’ll be planning to work on our own future activities that we will indulge with once Keiko will be here with us, so that we’re going to do our best in planning some fantastic and thrilling activities to energize ourselves” said Miyuki.

“That way, we’re going to show our pride and willpower to make everyone ready to feel the auras to shine!” said Katsuko.

“Yeah!” said Hiroka, Yuika, Chiharu, Kazuha, Setsuko, Chiya, Fuyuko and Tomoe.

“Now that our friendship had been settled, then let’s enjoy looking at the view before we’ll be ready to watch the tournament final of the Ōta Blue Wind Cup later to see who’s leading” said Hiroka.

“Hopefully, the Blue Verdant Fukuoka will be able to take the win, so that they’ll be great enough to show their firepower to make themselves dominant for sure!” said Yuika.

“Of course, they will make it, Yuika-san! Kazuhiro and his boys are very determined to take care of business like how they have used to since yesterday” said Miyuki.

“When they’re playing at the court, they started to shine themselves to make sure that they’re ready to make the statement” said Katsuko.

“We’ll be happy if they’ll be able to hold off their opponents by controlling the entire game” said Yūki.

“That would be fantastic to see that because they’re good in running the court through their own auras to shine” said Konomi.

“If they can able to do that without losing their willpower, they’re gonna walk away with the win” said Nobuyuki.

“It will be amazing to celebrate this if that will happen, but hopefully, it will be awesome to see that once we’ll be going to the Recreational Center to watch the game” said Shun.

“Yeah!” said Hiroka, Yuika, Chiharu, Kazuha, Setsuko, Chiya, Fuyuko and Tomoe.

“For now, let’s enjoy relaxing ourselves for a while before we’ll be going to the Recreational Center to watch the tournament final of the Ōta Blue Wind Cup! Let’s gleam and shine to make us delighted and thrilled!” said Miyuki.

“Yeah!” said Hiroka, Yuika, the friends of the former and the members of the Stormred Higanbana while showing their smiles to Miyuki, which she gives them a smile in return. The members of the Stormred Higanbana have been thrilled that they have met Hiroka and Yuika as they’re enjoying themselves to get along with them during the mid-afternoon of the last day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week. Now that they have settled their friendship, they’re looking forward to prosper their community together by organizing collaborative activities in the future, so that they’ll be able to bloom and prosper their community in Fukuoka to shine and grow with hopes and dreams that will be blessed for themselves.

As you all know, I had added Yuika Fukuzawa as one of the members of the Fukuoka Union of Alstroemerias and of course, she is a first year high school student from the Nijigasaki Academy High School and the classmate of Shizuku Ōsaka (CV: Kaori Maeda), a member of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club from the international exchange course. Of course, before she had moved from Fukuoka, her hometown, to Odiaba to study in Nijigasaki, she was part of Team Fukuzawa, led by her cousin Hiroka Fukuzawa, who had joined the Bravehearts of Minami Fukuoka as part of Maiko Takayama’s connection circle, and of course, they have used to get along with Maiko and her friends from that group, which means that both Yuika and Hiroka have been very close to them at all. So, here is the profile of Team Fukuzawa, one of the groups that have been part of the organization of the Bravehearts of Minami Fukuoka. They have been interested in bunnies, iced cold coffee and visiting gardens in the ward of Chuo and they have been more determined to create their future just like how the members of the Bravehearts of Minami Fukuoka and the Fukuoka Union of Alstroemerias did. I also added Marika Yamazaki into this list as she was mentioned by Yuika during the conversation with the members of the Stormred Higanbana. Marika is the class president of Shizuku and Yuika's class.

A Special Message from Lanzhu Zhong

Hi, everyone! This is Lanzhu Zhong of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and of course, yesterday (February 15) was my birthday, which means that you have been able to admire me to make my really special! Of course, I’ll be sharing about my friends from the Bravehearts of Kōtō, composed of Fūko Nishitani, Rika Okumoto and Maiko Senda. If you remember about my first postscript message where I shared about the Bravehearts of Kōtō, you already know that you have recognized them, especially that they have appeared in one of the updates two weeks ago where everyone is present in the Tatsumi Mirai Towers altogether. Fūko, Rika and Maiko came out from Ariake as they have lived next door in their neighborhood. Fūko was the eldest of the trio as she had always showed her confidence to both Rika and Maiko whenever they’re playing together in elementary school. She had also shown her determination to stay compassionated because not only that she had dazzled her basketball career, but she had been a braveheart as well. She had created her own friend group known as the Mauve and Red Bullet, which is co-led by Fūko herself and Kyōko Okada, and had been resembled to yours truly through our ambitions that never lost. Meanwhile, Rika had been a serious person to believe in everyone, especially that she had her own dream of travelling elsewhere once she’s done in education. At first, she was eager to give up early in a challenge, but she had overcome by proving that she can do it. At the same time, Rika had been very positive when she met up with her friends, especially to Maiko and Ruri Kameda, the leader of the Precious Moonlight, the group that is composed of the friends of Rika, because they have been able to prosper with each other through their smiles whenever they go outside after school. One thing that you’ll find it interesting is that she had been very good in drawing weapons that are related to guns and swords, thus, she had been very creative to do those. Last but not the least, entering Maiko. Maiko had been a determined girl that shown her smile whenever she’s representing for her braveheart group as she was able to make herself comfortable through a smile on her face. Sometimes, she had gotten along with Fūko, but one time, she hanged out with Rika because she’s her teammate, which means that she’s a common friend of both Fūko and Rika after all. Also, she had her own friends that she created with known as the Valorous Crimson, which was led by Kuni Inagawa, where they used to hang out with each other when it comes to non-basketball activities, but they would also collaborate with both Fūko and Rika in helping their community to shine. I say that the trio had been very generous to shine and prosper their community as they wanted to have a peaceful community that they’ll never forget and of course, they have become close to the Bravehearts of Kōtō when Kotoko Hachiuma had invited them to that group to mend her rivalry with them. It’s so amazing that those three have been motivated to show their thrills to Kotoko and her friends, which means that they’re ready to prosper themselves to bring smiles to everyone on their side for sure! I hope that you enjoyed reading this special postscript message because it makes me feel excited about sharing when it’s my time to step up like the way it used to be and I’ll be delighted that I’ll get the first thrill to make yourself comfortable through your rainbow heart. Anyway, thank you for those who greeted me on my birthday yesterday, which I’m gladly appreciated, and I’m sure that you’re all excited for the second season of Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club because me, Mia Taylor and Shioriko Mifune will be making our appearance to get along with the rest of NijGaku through our smiles and thrills that you’ll never miss! Until then, I’ll see you next time when we’ll meet again and make yourself indulged and determined with your smile and joy, everyone!

UP NEXT: Red Section-Chapter 117: “The Rubies of Okazaki Arrive in Numazu”

The members of the Stormred Higanbana have been very surprised when they listened to Yuika and Hiroka Fukuzawa, who have shared their secrets to them, and then, they’re going to settle their friendship with them for future activities to come in the city of Fukuoka. It’s so nice that the members of the Stormred Higanbana have found new friends that are coming from the ward of Chuo and of course, with Hiroka being a member of the Bravehearts of Minami Fukuoka, she’s expecting to bloom and gleam with Miyuki to work on their collaborative activities in the future. Hopefully, their partnership will be ready to bloom to make sure that they’re going to cherish with each other through their smiles as they’re ready to bloom themselves that they’re here to make everyone comfortable for sure!:) Now, before I'll wrap this up, I'll explain about the idea of how I made this update, so that you'll remember this when I'll be posting a future update that is related to that one in the future. So, the idea for this is that I want to introduce Yuika into the series as one of the classmates of Shizuku Ōsaka, a member of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, from the international exchange course because she’ll be more involved in not only supporting Shizuku on her school idol career, but to create a partnership between the bravehearts and school idols, thus, she had planned to create her own connection circle. That one will be something that I’ll plan it out in the future as Yuika will be more involved in not only her helping her friends from her hometown in Fukuoka through her cousin Hiroka and the Bravehearts of Minami Fukuoka, but also, to create a braveheart-school idol partnership with the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, even Yuika hadn’t been a braveheart, but just the cousin of a braveheart. I hope that that I’ll be doing a follow-up update to this update very soon if I want to focus on the Bravehearts of Minami Fukuoka at some time, but for now, this one will be preparing for a gleaming partnership between the Bravehearts of Minami Fukuoka and the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club in the future as well as to keep the friendship between the former and their neighboring braveheart groups in Fukuoka.;) Hopefully, you’ll watch out for the Bravehearts of Minami Fukuoka very soon because they’re here to cheer and gleam for you!:) And also, one major change that I did before posting this update is that the name of Stormred Higabana is now known as Stormred Higanbana as I didn’t know that the word ‘Higanbana’ doesn’t have a ‘n’ when I posted the updates that are related to them including their first update back two years ago. As a result, I made some changes on the lines as well as the introduction that I made earlier. Hopefully, I’ll backtrack some previous updates to change the spelling of ‘Higanbana’ in the future, so that it will fit on their name when it was addressed by the characters that are part of that group.:) Anyway, the next update will be very special to witness as we’re going to head back to the city of Numazu, the home of Aqours from Love Live! Sunshine!!, to witness two of my favorite characters from that anime in the Kurosawa sisters, Dia and Ruby, meeting with the friends of Ruby from Okazaki, Aichi, led by Sumika Nakamoto. I’m sure that you’re all hyped to witness an Aqours update after six months, but of course, this time, it will be focused on two of my favorite characters from Love Live! School Idol Project series will be here to bloom and gleam for you when they’ll be meeting with a group of fans that admired Ruby after all. Get ready to witness through your desire and admiration as this one will be very special that you’re gonna see in four days!:) I’ll see you on February 20 (Sunday) for the next update of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts!
 
A Special Announcement from Ruby Kurosawa (CV. Ai Furihata):
The next update will be focused on me and my older sister Dia as we're going to meet my friends from Okazaki, led by Sumika Nakamoto. It's going to be fantastic to watch out on this as it will be a braveheart-school idol relationship and of course, because not only that this update will witness my return for nearly a year with onēchan, but this will be dedicated to the seiyu that voiced me, Ai Furihata. I hope that you're very excited to thrill with me since the last time we meet and of course, you can count on me with my sweetest smile! So, get ready to show some wink to shine with me and Dia because you're all here to bloom and admire for us! Until then, I'll see you next time when we'll meet each other again and keep me and Aqours shining through your smiles, everyone!

Hopefully, they’ll continue making progress of their voice acting careers as they have been able to dazzle themselves to make sure that they’re going to shine their way and of course, I’ll watch out for Yuichi because he will be reprising his role for The Irregular at the Magic High School as Tatsuya Shiba while this anime will return for its third season this year.;) Belated happy birthday, Natsumi, and happy birthday, Nana, Nozomi and Yuichi!:) And of course, the reason why I want to save Ai for last is because today’s update that I’ll be posted will be focused on Ruby Kurosawa, one of my favorite characters of Love Live! Sunshine!! So, get ready to show some pride and compassion for her as here comes today’s update!:)

Today’s update will be very special as we’re heading to the city of Numazu, the hometown of Aqours from Love Live! Sunshine!!, to feature two of my favorite characters from that anime in the Kurosawa sisters, composed of Dia and Ruby Kurosawa. In this update, this is the part where they will be meeting with Sumika Nakamoto and her friends from Okazaki, who were both admirers and friends of Ruby. Sumika and her friends have paid a visit to the Kurosawa Residence, so that they will be getting along with the Kurosawas just for one day as part of their short vacation. You’re going to see what’s in store for both sides as Sumika and her friends are trying to discover the secrets of the Kurosawas that you have never seen before. Hopefully, you’ll be more gleaming and admiring to see this because not only this one is going to be very special for me, but I want to make this update being dedicated to Ai Furihata, whose birthday was yesterday (February 19). Coming out from Shiojiri, Nagano, Ai is the voice actress of Ruby Kurosawa, the younger sister of Dia Kurosawa (CV. Arisa Komiya), of Love Live!

School Idol Project series when it comes to Aqours alongside Arisa, Anju, Rikako Aida (the voice actress of Riko Sakurauchi) and Kanako Takatsuki (the voice actress of Hanamaru Kunikida) because she was so cute and prestigious to show her admiration to her fans as she had performed alongside her fellow groupmates from Aqours and I was so proud of her when she had started her music career two years ago with two mini albums being released with the titles, "Moonrise" and "Makeup", both in 2020, as well as her recent singles from last year, "Honeymoon" and "Azuma Kara Nishi". She is also the voice actress of Majiha Pink (I’m Standing on a Million Lives) and Airi Momoi (Project Sekai Colorful Stage! feat. Hatsune Miku, representing MORE MORE JUMP!).

Enjoy reading the 117th side chapter of the Red Section Series!:)

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES
CHAPTER 117: “THE RUBIES OF OKAZAKI ARRIVE IN NUMAZU

Date: May 2, 2010 (Sunday)

This side story is focused on the friends of Ruby Kurosawa from Okazaki as they are paying a visit at the Kurosawa Residence to meet with Ruby at the Kurosawa Residence where they will be staying at that place for a day.

At the Kurosawa Residence, Dia and Ruby are watching Japanese drama on television while waiting for their guests to come shortly.

“Are you sure that they’re gonna be here, sister?” asked Dia.

“Well, they’ll be here soon. They’re currently having their vacation in our hometown at one of the hotels in Uchiura in the Amaranth Grand Hotel near the Mito Sea Paradise” said Ruby.

“They would have almost booked a room in the Hotel Ohara, but I guess that they wanted the less luxurious way” said Dia.

“Yeah, I guess so” said Ruby.

“So, who are those guys?” asked Dia.

“They were Sumika Nakamoto and her friends from Okazaki, Aichi. Sumika is a big fan of mine who loves to admire me when she saw me performing alongside you and the rest of Aqours” said Ruby.

“Oh, I remember that one, sister! That’s where we won the Spring Live competition!” said Dia.

“Yes, it was! So, I believe that she was there when she had praised me on my performance. She said that my performance was so stunning and shining that we have worked hard to win that competition. I’m so surprised that she said that to me when she was reacting about how we have won the competition. That one became the part where Sumika started to become friends with me when we met them after our trip to Italy” said Ruby.

“Yep! That Sumika had been determined to make you shined since she was able to see you perform like a dazzling school idol where we performed together. I’m sure that she’ll be ready to meet with you again” said Dia.

“Of course, she will! Sumika said that she wanted to shine her way just like I did because she wanted to make her own moment to show that she’s ready to dazzle with a smile. Also, she had joined the Bravehearts of Okazaki, who was led by Shūhei Furutani, a second year high school student from the Tokiwa Reizai High School. She said that she wanted to be part of that group because she had been gleamed to see them shining through their auras. One thing that you find it coincidental is that she’s a classmate of Nako Ichimiya, the older sister of Noa Ichimiya, a member of the Bravehearts of Okazaki” said Ruby.

“That’s interesting! I didn’t know that she had been part of that braveheart group! I’m so surprised to see that ever since we have recognized Emiri Hiraki and her friends from Toyohashi before” said Dia.

“Yes, that’s true, onēchan! Emiri-chan had been serious and expressive when she had been doing some archery skills where she can hit a bullseye with her aura. I’m sure that we have a lot of bravehearts that we met since the formation of the Bravehearts of Numazu nearly three months ago” said Ruby.

“Of course! Since the braveheart groups have been running all over the country, they started to draw inspirations on different idols like us because they want to fascinate themselves for me by organizing some fantastic activities to shine the community as always” said Dia.

“Yeah, it’s going to be amazing that our guests from Okazaki will pay a visit in our home before they’ll moving to their destination later on” said Ruby.

“It sure is, sister!” said Dia.

“I’m sure that they’re going to be ready to indulge themselves when they’ll be visiting our home, onēchan” said Ruby.

“Yeah, I’m so excited about this as well! Maybe, we should start building our own circle of friends with some bravehearts, so that we’ll be able to remember their names when we recognized them because they’re here to shine with us” said Dia.

“Of course, we should! Chika-chan said that the circles of friends have been more running ever since those have been existed in the western part of our country and now, they’re about to enter Chubu after numerous braveheart groups have started to work on those in the recent weeks” said Ruby.

“Well, it’s going to be something that everyone can gleam if they want to make the difference for themselves because they want to shine and prosper for more, so that they’ll be able to bless them through their hearts. Hopefully, the Bravehearts of Numazu will have those one day if they have their plans to reveal” said Dia.

“I believe so. Also, in our group, we should start working on that as soon as the go signal from Chika-chan will be cleared for us to do it” said Ruby.

“Oh, yes! We should be more prepared to start working on our own circle because not only that we want to make the difference in a school idol’s way, but we want to shine through our smiles to make sure that we’re going to make us admired for sure!” said Dia.

“Yeah, I agree with that, onēchan!” said Ruby.

Just then, a doorbell had been rung as Dia and Ruby are finally excited to see who’s coming.

“I think that they’re here, sister!” said Dia.

“Yeah, onēchan! Let’s welcome them!” said Ruby.

“Okay!” said Dia and she and Ruby are standing up to reach to the door. Dia opens the door to see who rang the doorbell and when she opened it, it was revealed to be Sumika Nakamoto and her friends from Okazaki. Sumika and her friends are coming from the Tokiwa Reizai High School where they were coming from the second year high school level, the same year level as Ruby.

Sumika Nakamoto and Friends: Sumika Nakamoto, Hiyori Iwashita, Atsuko Yabūchi, Sakura Yanami, Itsuki Nakamura, Yasue Takigawa, Shūhei Kurashima, Motohisa Okayama, Keigo Shimatani, Yoshikazu Katsura and Makio Ezaki

“Welcome to the Kurosawa Residence, my dear guests!” said Dia.

“We love to welcome guests through smiles and joys!” said Ruby.

“It’s been an honor to welcome us into your home, Dia-chan and Ruby-chan!” said Sumika Nakamoto.

“We’ll be staying here for the entire afternoon after we have just booked a room at the Amaranth Grand Hotel” said Hiyori Iwashita.

“So, we may not gonna stay here for a long time because we have our own activities to fascinate with” said Atsuko Yabūchi.

“Ah, that’s great! Now, you can make yourself comfortable with us while staying at our home” said Dia.

“That way, you’ll be enjoyed yourself getting along with us for now” said Ruby.

“Okay!” said Sumika and her friends.

“Then, come inside our home, my dear guests!” said Dia.

“Just don’t forget to leave your footwear in the entrance!” said Ruby.

“You got it!” said Sumika.

“Okay!” said the friends of Sumika. Sumika and her friends would leave their footwear near the entrance before stepping through the living room to be with Dia and Ruby. When they look around the house, Sumika and her friends are very gleamed to see the living room.

“Wow! I love this place!” said Sumika.

“That’s so magnificent!” said Hiyori.

“I’m feeling grateful to see this!” said Atsuko.

“It’s like some traditional houses that people used to live there for years” said Sakura Yanami.

“I’m feeling comfortable when I have seen these houses like this!” said Itsuki Nakamura.

“It’s so nice that you lived here with your family, Dia-chan and Ruby-chan” said Yasue Takigawa.

“You have been more comfortable to stay there whenever you want to relax yourself” said Shūhei Kurashima.

“Which is why your family had been prospered enough to make your home more harmonious for many years to come” said Motohisa Okayama.

“Yeah, you’re right about that!” said Dia.

“Of course, it is!” said Ruby.

“Our home had been stable for many years since our ancestors used to live there for generations and it’s still standing as its present state” said Dia.

“Which means that we have been delighted to stay here as we wanted to make our home more blooming for everyone to make themselves comfortable” said Ruby.

“Ever since the formation of Aqours, we welcomed our guests to show that they’re feeling uplifted to stay here without hesitation” said Dia.

“Hopefully, you’ll get used to it to make sure that you’ll be more confident to be friends with us” said Ruby.

“Yeah!” said Sumika and her friends.

“So, Ruby-chan, I’m so glad that you’re here because me and my friends have wanted to take a look at your place, so that we want to be more thrilled to get along with you” said Sumika.

“It’s going to be amazing that you’re going to give us the smiles that we want to see!” said Hiyori.

“Just like you did when you’re performing for us at the Numazu Station” said Atsuko.

“Yes, we do!” said Dia and Ruby.

“Usually, our guests have been allowed to indulge themselves with our own activities, but since we’re kind of very busy for the upcoming activities tomorrow with the Bravehearts of Numazu” said Dia.

“Which means that for today, we will only be entertaining you through sharing to make sure that you’ll be able to make us happy and comfortable” said Ruby.

“Sure, we would be glad to!” said Sumika and her friends.

“What are you saying about the upcoming activities for tomorrow, Dia-chan?” asked Sumika.

“I’m glad that you asked, Sumika-san!” said Dia while giving Sumika a wink on her left eye. “As you can see, tomorrow will be a collaborative day between Aqours and the Bravehearts of Numazu where we’ll be teaming up with them in various activities. For the two of us, we’ll be getting along with Tsukiko and the members of the Red and Orange Resolution in a role play activity.”

“It’s going to be fantastic to see us working together with to make sure that we’ll be able to indulge ourselves through our pride and admiration” said Ruby.

“Oh, that’s so cool! We have done that before in our Japanese literature class when we have a group project that we have paid it off!” said Sumika.

“We’re very determined that we have worked hard to take us into the spotlight to make sure that we’re good in acting” said Hiyori.

“So, it’s going to be awesome that you’re gonna work on that because you girls are very good in dazzling your way as school idols” said Atsuko.

“Which means that you’re going to do your best in showing your acting skills with your friends on your side” said Sakura.

“Yes, we will!” said Dia and Ruby.

“Tsukiko Maekawa had been ambitioned to be a playwright in the future, even she had been playing basketball because she’s very determined to shine through her aura that unleashes her own power to shine” said Dia.

“Which is why we have a meeting with her a few days ago about what to do for tomorrow. She said that she wanted to take a glimpse of fantasizing ourselves through role play” said Ruby.

“Of course, we agreed her plan and thus, we decided to start working on our planned role play, which will be something intense that we want to shine for” said Dia.

“You have already familiar with those things in the anime. Right, guys?” said Ruby.

“Yeah!” said Sumika and her friends.

“I have seen those before when we did some movie marathon last summer” said Sumika.

“They’re more promising to see those moments” said Hiyori.

“Like the action going on in an isekai” said Atsuko.

“Or a space battle that takes place in the future” said Sakura.

“All of these things are more imaginary if you ask me” said Itsuki.

“They’re more fantastic to take a glimpse on those, so that you’ll be more motivated to look at how they have done to make it awesome” said Yasue.

“Yes, it is!” said Dia while Ruby nodding her head to agree with Sumika and her friends. Dia would continue to explain about the role play. “We have decided on a different setting where there will be a battle between the heroes and the bandits in the Ōse Shrine, pretending that the villagers have been feared of the bandits attacking a village before trying to conquer the shrine.”

“It’s going to be super awesome that we’re going to work together on this because we’re very determined to seize the day to save everyone” said Ruby.

“Wow! I can’t believe that you have planned on this!” said Sumika.

“That one would be cool if things would be promising to make it happen!” said Hiyori.

“You have to let your friends do their practice before doing that role play” said Atsuko.

“It’s important that they should be good to go in doing their roles when the role play is ongoing” said Sakura.

“Hopefully, it will be amazing that to work it out to make sure that the role play that you have will be successful” said Itsuki.

“It will depend on how they have performed themselves if they’re worthy enough to show their skills as they’re pretending to be actors in a play” said Yasue.

“Yes, we agree!” said Dia and Ruby.

“Our role play will be more focused on protecting the nature from enemies just like how it usually did in anime and Japanese historical drama” said Dia.

“So, it’s going to be better that we’ll be doing our best to prove that we’re here to shine for sure!” said Ruby.

“Oh, that’s good! I hope that it will be great enough to make your activity more promising!” said Sumika.

“The more that you have worked hard, the better that your activity will be prospered enough to get it done” said Hiyori.

“You girls should be more prepared to get along with them because it will make your friendship with them more developed as soon as everything will be looked fine at all” said Atsuko.

“I have to say that you’re gonna make it as soon as you two and your friends that you have will work together to make sure that you’ll be able to develop your friendship with them for sure!” said Sakura.

“Yeah, we will, girls!” said Dia and Ruby.

“By the way, the Red and Orange Resolution is a group that is composed of the friends of Tsukiko Maekawa” said Dia.

“They were all sixth grade elementary school students from the Tagata Gakuen Shizūra Elementary School” said Ruby.

“The group had been focused on fantasizing themselves with their own bright ideas to take up” said Dia.

“Especially that they wanted to create some fantastic activities that are more oriented in isekai” said Ruby.

“Tsukiko said that her friends have been more determined to show their own imaginations because they want to show their skills in acting” said Dia.

“They have to be more determined if they want to make themselves earned, so that they’ll be able to shine themselves just like did while representing for Aqours” said Ruby.

“The leader of the Red and Orange Resolution is Chisaki Ōdate, a well-known writer who makes short stories to her friends on her side” said Dia.

“She’s very compassionated that she became friends with Tsukiko since she’s her childhood friend” said Ruby.

“Of course, you’ll never lose her compassion because she’s always here to motivate for us” said Dia.

“She can do anything to make herself thrilled to prosper everyone on her side including Tsukiko” said Ruby.

“Oh, that’s very nice! I’m so glad that you have some good friends that have prospered and admired everyone in your hometown” said Sumika.

“They’re very compassionated to make themselves prestigious in working together as a group” said Hiyori.

“It will be great for them to bless and inspire their community because they have been able to gleam themselves to make the difference just like how the mainstream groups of the Bravehearts of Okazaki have used to” said Atsuko.

“Noa said that when a group had run themselves through its aura, they started to work themselves to develop their friendship, so that, they’ll be able to bless and inspire with each other” said Sakura.

“When we observed about the activities of the Magenta Amaranth, Noa’s group of friends, we were more admired to see what they’re doing as they have been able to work together to make sure that they’ll be able to accomplish anything to make themselves earned” said Itsuki. The Magenta Amaranth is one of the mainstream groups of the Bravehearts of Okazaki as it was composed of the friends of Noa, being led by Asahi Kanematsu.

“It’s so great that the mainstream groups have been able to prosper themselves like they used to be as they’ll be able to make their community growing with blessings” said Yasue.

“And also, they can do anything to create their future through their auras because they want to be more prospered enough to show their smiles to everyone” said Shūhei.

“We always believe that the mainstream groups have showed their strength and willpower when they’re running together because they’ll be able to make themselves determined in blessing their community through their hearts” said Motohisa.

“A lot of groups have been able to work hard to make their communities growing with blessings and inspirations and so, they became more confident to get themselves prospered as this is their time to show their pride and willpower to run with” said Keigo Shimatani.

“The more that they have worked their way to shine their community, the better that they’ll be able to have incentives to earn for themselves” said Yoshikazu Katsura.

“By the end of the day, they’ll be more determined to make their community ready to shine for a brighter future” said Makio Ezaki.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Dia and Ruby.

“We’re very delighted that we have seen those groups running their place to shine their community for them to be blessed and inspired” said Dia.

“It became the pinnacle of bringing blissful hopes and wonderful dreams to their community because they know that they wanted to shine themselves without losing their willpower” said Ruby.

“For example, the mainstream groups of the Bravehearts of Numazu have been able to give everyone their blessings through their smiles and thrills as they’re very determined to make their future getting brighter” said Dia.

“It’s so nice that we have seen those because they’re doing their great job in showing their pride and willpower to everyone on their side, so that they’ll be ready to get blessed and inspired in a prosperous way” said Ruby.

“Hopefully, once they have worked themselves to prosper their community, they’re ready to do whatever it takes to earn themselves” said Dia.

“Of course, don’t forget that they’ll show their smiles, so that they’ll be able to keep their confidence that they’ll never lose for sure!” said Ruby.

“Yeah!” said Sumika and her friends.

“Uh… I have a question, Dia-san” said Shūhei.

“Okay, you can ask anything, my dear guest” said Dia.

“Who’s that person with the red shirt beside Chisaki?” asked Shūhei while pointing at the picture of Dia, Ruby, Tsukiko and the members of the Red and Orange Resolution during the Appreciation Party between the Bravehearts of Numazu and Aqours, which was taken place last April 29 (Thursday).

“Oh! That’s our cousin Itsuki, who was part of the Red and Orange Resolution” said Dia.

“She’s very charismatic to show her smile when she had gotten along with her friends from that group” said Ruby.

“Ah, I see! I didn’t know that you had a cousin that joined that group!” said Shūhei.

“I’m so glad that she’s very determined to be part of that group” said Motohisa.

“Because she had been able to show her determination in blessing everyone” said Keigo.

“Yes, she was!” said Dia and Ruby.

“What’s the ambition of your cousin?” asked Yoshikazu.

“She’s dreaming of becoming a writer as she was very interested in fantasy, especially isekai” said Dia.

“She had been very complimented to get along with her friends from the Red and Orange Resolution” said Ruby.

“Wow! That’s so good! I can’t believe that your cousin is aiming to work on future stories that she will be planning with if she can able to keep it up on her studies” said Yoshikazu.

“That way, she’ll be able to dazzle anything that is more shining and beautiful!” said Makio.

“Yeah!” said Dia and Ruby.

“There are a lot of cousins that we have been very close to, especially coming from the Taniyama clan, the clan that our mother Asami came from” said Dia.

“They have been able to shine themselves through their auras, so that they’ll create their future to glimpse with for everyone to prosper” said Ruby.

“Of course, rest assured that they have been very determined to honor themselves when they have been earned because they want to prove that they’re here to show their auras to gleam with” said Dia.

“So that, they’ll be able to keep their promises of making their community more shining for a brighter future” said Ruby.

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

“I’m feeling excited that your cousins will be ready to shine themselves for more because they want to make the difference in making their community ready to get blooming” said Sumika.

“I have to say that they’ll do their responsibility to make progress without losing their auras” said Hiyori.

“Yeah, they’re not going to let themselves down because they’re more prepared to indulge themselves like they’re here to make themselves comfortable” said Atsuko.

“They’re more charismatic to show their pride and admiration that they have been doing for a long time because they have their own opportunities to live up with their dreams to create with” said Sakura.

“There are a lot of moments to show as they have treasured those as memories that it will never lose, so that they’ll be able to cherished themselves in bringing happy moments to everyone” said Itsuki.

“Hopefully, it’s going to be great that they’ll be ready to empower themselves because they’re ready to work together in bringing hopes and dreams to everyone in their community” said Yasue.

“Yes, they will!” said Dia and Ruby.

“It will be amazing for us to see them doing their way to shine their community like we have used to” said Dia.

“And hopefully, they’re going to keep this up, so that they’ll be blessed and inspired with their smiles and joys that they will gleam themselves” said Ruby.

“Yeah!” said Sumika and her friends.

“You know, girls, I have a big plan that we’re going to share with” said Sumika.

“What big plan that you’re going to create with, Sumika-san?” asked Dia.

“My big plan is to organize a blooming activity where me and my friends on my side will be having some idol fan convention in the Sparkle House, the place where my parents and cousins worked there to serve sweets and pastries” said Sumika.

“Oh, that’s interesting! I can’t believe that you’re going to have that activity where the idols in your hometown will be here to stay for fan signing!” said Dia.

“That would be cooler to see that because we used to have that during our spring appreciation party!” said Ruby.

“Yeah, you’re right about that, girls! There are a lot of idols in Okazaki as they wanted to show their smile to make themselves comfortable in making progress of their careers as they have been opportunistic to show their voice and prove that they’re here to gleam and shine” said Sumika.

“The Sparkle House had used to organize some sweet and fantastic activities every month where everyone had been able to indulge themselves through their smiles and joys” said Hiyori.

“They have sponsored activities from the fictional Okazaki Idol Parliament where they have their own show to entertain, especially that wannabe idols are here to gleam themselves at their first performance” said Atsuko.

“We’re very excited about organizing a big activity like that because this activity will be a collaboration with the Anime Designers Club and the Drama Club of our school” said Sakura.

“That plan had been approved unanimously, so that it will continue to improve the Cool Okazaki campaign where it will attract the youth in our hometown just to show their pride in making pop culture growing well” said Itsuki.

“We’ll be expecting to witness some idols coming around to meet and greet everyone including us, so that we’ll be able to make this activity blooming and harmonious” said Yasue.

“That sounds good, girls! I like that idea because it will make the idols feel good that they’re here to bless and shine everyone” said Dia.

“They’ll be doing their best to keep progressing their idol careers like they’re engaging their way to get shined as always” said Ruby.

“I’m sure that it’s going to be fantastic to make that event more successful as it will be awesome to see the idols and fans meeting with each other for run” said Dia.

“That way, they’ll be greatly motivated to develop their friendship like we used to with the Bravehearts of Numazu” said Ruby.

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

“We wanted to make the difference in bringing better culture in Okazaki with better engagements in organizing futuristic activities, so that they’ll be cherishing themselves with their smiles going in” said Sumika.

“Most of us have been interested in seeing futuristic activities, which means that we wanted to gleam and shine on those, so that we’ll be able to prosper ourselves to make us more delighted to have our community ready to be on the move” said Hiyori.

“The more people wanted to engage themselves to fascinate, the better that they’ll make themselves prospered to make their community growing with blessings” said Atsuko.

“Hopefully, we’ll be planning to invite you to come with us!” said Sakura.

“You girls are school idols, which are more special than just idols!” said Itsuki.

“We will be delighted if you can come with us!” said Yasue.

“Since we’re admiring you in your last performance alongside your fellow members of Aqours…” said Shūhei.

“…then, we will be happy if you can see the glimpse of our own activity to shine yourselves just like the homegrown idols did” said Motohisa.

“We won’t be completing this event without you girls and so, we want to be more motivated to come with us if you want to” said Keigo.

“That way, we’re going to have so much fun to get along with!” said Yoshikazu.

“You can do anything to gleam and shine to make the people of Okazaki proud!” said Makio.

Dia and Ruby would whisper about being invited to Sumika and her friends’ activity before Dia replies to them in an expressive way. “Well, we would love to take part of that activity, but we will respectfully decline this because we have our own activities with our friends from Aqours and the Bravehearts of Numazu.

“We’re very busy on our schedule that we have for us, especially that we’ll be meeting with µ’s and the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club this month. So, we’ll be expecting to visit your hometown at some other time” said Ruby.

“Aw, man!” said Sumika and her friends.

“That’s a shame, girls. I guess that we’ll be waiting for you to visit our hometown in the future since you two are going to be busy with your school idol stuff” said Sumika.

“Yeah, for sure” said Dia and Ruby.

“However, maybe, you can keep in touch with us through message, so that we’ll be able to say something for us to address the fans in our hometown” said Hiyori.

“That way, we’ll be able to let the fans inspire you for sure!” said Atsuko.

“Okay, that’s fine with me!” said Dia.

“Yes, we should do that!” said Ruby.

“Oh, that’s great! Then, hopefully, you’ll be planning to send some message to the youth in our hometown if you can make it more blooming and sweeter” said Sumika.

“Sure, we will!” said Dia and Ruby.

“By the way, when it’s going to be held, Sumika-san?” asked Dia.

“It will be on June 12 and 13, which will be next month” said Sumika.

“In order to make that event ready to run, we have to ask the invitees to accept their invitation to come to the Sparkle House during the month of May” said Hiyori.

“So that, we’ll be able to have them accepting our invitations to visit our event” said Atsuko.

“Our goal is to have idols appearing in our event” said Sakura.

“Whether they’re coming from our hometown or its neighboring areas” said Itsuki.

“This is the part where they’ll be uniting with each other to get along with their fans for a fantastic day” said Yasue.

“It will be so great that we need them to energize themselves, so that they’ll make our event more entertaining” said Shūhei.

“We have been gleaming idols ever since we have been admiring Aqours because we want them to be bloomed and prospered in making progress of their careers” said Motohisa.

“That’s why we wanted to make our planned activity to be more harmonious for every fan to see them because they’ll be ready to inspire them through their eyes” said Keigo.

“They should be ready to have their confidence getting bloomed when they’re about to meet them” said Yoshikazu.

“So that, they’ll do their best to shine their way like they used to be!” said Makio.

“Yeah, we agree with that!” said Dia and Ruby.

“I have to say that you guys should start working on the invitations if you want the idols to come to your event, but keep in mind that some of them might be busy with their own activities to do” said Dia.

“And since you already said about the schedule where it will be held by next month, you’ll have to think about the plans that will be organized for that big event with your bright and fantastic ideas to make it harmonious” said Ruby.

“Of course, fan conventions should have activities for the fans to get involved and have their thrills coming out to enjoy. If you want to make your activity lively and more interesting, then you guys should help out with your allies that you have to work on the activities that you need to work on with” said Dia.

“We’ll be giving you an example to make it easier to have your ideas coming into your mind. One example is the Cupcake Making Activity where everyone must build a do-it-yourself cupcake with some sparkling toppings that you want to make up with” said Ruby.

“You need some fans to participate on this, so that they’ll be able to take part and show they have got with their skills to create” said Dia.

“It will be amazing that you guys should add it into your list of activities that you’ll be planning for your event” said Ruby.

“So that, it will energize all fans to show their guts to prove themselves” said Dia.

“It’s going to be awesome that you’ll finally have some ideas to come up with as you guys are good enough to make the event entertaining and fun” said Ruby.

“Yes, we will!” said Sumika and her friends.

“We’re very motivated to work on the things to do for that event, but we have to think hard if we want to make our activity very blooming and harmonious” said Sumika.

“Also, our allies from the Anime Designers Club and the Drama Club will work on their own activities to engage the fans of different idols for them to make themselves earned” said Hiyori.

“After that, we’ll be going to start making decorations for our event when the date is almost approaching as soon as possible” said Atsuko.

“That way, we don’t want to get in hurry to make those as we’ll have some allies to help out with” said Sakura.

“On top of that, we have to do anything to make our event ready to shine once everything is all set because if we want to make it happen, then we have to wait for the invitees to accept their invitations, so that they’ll be able to entertain with us” said Shūhei.

“Hopefully, we’ll be ready to run this event because we want to make it gleam and shine! Right, guys?” said Motohisa.

“Yeah!” said Sumika and her friends.

“Well, then, good luck with that, guys!” said Dia.

“We’ll be motivating you to make it happen as soon as you’re all working together as a team!” said Ruby.

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

Dia would look at the clock in the living room where it says that it’s already 3:00 in the afternoon. “Oh, it’s 3:00 in the afternoon, guys! Do you know what that means?”

“It’s mid-afternoon break!” said Ruby.

“Yeah!” said Sumika and her friends.

“This is our time where we have to take a little break before doing something later on like meeting with our fellow friends from Aqours or have fun with our own hobbies” said Dia.

“And since you guys are guests for today, I’m going to give you something that you want to enjoy!” said Ruby.

“Really?!” shouted Sumika and her friends.

“Just wait and see!” said Ruby.

“We’ll be right back!” said Dia.

“Okay!” said Sumika and her friends.

Five minutes later, Dia and Ruby have returned to the living room while holding a pitcher of cranberry juice and special mikan cupcakes that were made by Chika during the Shōwa Day.

“There you go, guys! I have some special mikan cupcakes made by Chika-chan with the help of her sisters!” said Ruby.

“And here some cranberry juice if you want to make yourself compassionate and admired” said Dia.

“Okay, we’ll take it!” said Sumika.

“Yeah, me too!” said Hiyori.

“I can’t wait to eat this!” said Atsuko.

“This is going to be good!” said Sakura.

“Let me eat one of those!” said Itsuki.

“I’ll take the juice!” said Yasue.

“This one is going to be tasty!” said Shūhei.

“Man, I’m so glad that you gave us these!” said Motohisa.

“I’m very delighted that you are good school idols after all!” said Keigo.

“You gave us the good vibes without a doubt since you’re all comfortable to be with us” said Yoshikazu.

“It feels great that you’re all here to make us blessed and inspired” said Makio.

“Why, thank you, guys! Have yourself some delicious treats that we gave you!” said Dia.

“And after that, we’ll have some fun to play with for an hour!” said Ruby.

“Okay!” said Sumika and her friends.

“I’m so happy that we have gotten along with each other for the first time after I had impressed your performance with the rest of Aqours! Hopefully, we will develop our friendship together with a smile!” said Sumika.

“Yeah, we will!” said Dia and Ruby while giving Sumika their smile, which Sumika is so delighted to see them feeling compassionated and admired. Ruby and Sumika have been very known with each other after the latter had impressed the former, her older sister Dia and the other members of Aqours during their performance at the spring final of the Love Live! School Idol Project Competition. Sumika had been very determined to have a friend in Ruby due to her sweet and innocent appearance that makes her so admired to make progress on her school idol career. Hopefully, Sumika and Ruby are ready to shine together when they’ll be working together with their friends in the future.

A Post-Chapter Postscript Message from Ruby Kurosawa

Hi, everyone! This is Ruby Kurosawa of Aqours and I would like to thank everyone for reading this update where me and my older sister Dia meeting with my friends from Okazaki, led by Sumika Nakamoto. As you all know, ever since I had been a school idol that represented Aqours, I have a lot of friends that I admired through their smiles and joys because they have been able to impress my performance when I’m with my fellow group members including onēchan. You already seen my friends from Shizuma in one of last year’s update as they’re all coming from my hometown in Numazu and so, this one will be the first time to witness something gleaming and admiring because it’ll be all about Sumika and her friends. Anyway, Sumika is a compassionated and determined girl that inspired me because she had been able to impress me on my performance ever since I joined Aqours. Not only for that, she had joined the Bravehearts of Okazaki as she wanted to bloom and shine her community through her own ways to make them motivated with smiles coming out. Sumika had been very positive that she had seen me shining to make herself motivated and so, she had become very confident to follow my school idol activities and keep admiring with her smile. Of course, the Bravehearts of Okazaki have started their expansion by welcoming new members while most of their mainstream groups have worked on their circles of friends, which Sumika had been working on that as well. Sumika had been very determined to organize some fantastic activities that are focused on idols because she had been fascinated to meet with idols in her hometown, thus, she became involved within the Okazaki Idol Parliament with her fellow friends where they have worked together to make the idol popularity in Okazaki getting developed. Sumika had also gathered up with her fellow bravehearts to make sweet desserts such as cupcakes, cookies and cakes because she had a family business known as Sparkle House, which was run by her parents, where the customers have visited there to take a bite on some delicious sweets and pastries to make themselves feel good. I’m thrilled that I have visited that place before during my off-duty as a school idol and I’m so surprised that they have served those very well! I’m sure that you’ll be happy to take a look at that place if you’re getting excited to eat something sweet to make yourself admired! And of course, last but not the least, Sumika had been interested in collecting dolls ever since she was little because she wanted to fascinate those to her friends on her side whenever her friends have visited her home. One time, Sumika had shown a Hatsune Miku doll that she bought from an anime store in Nagoya to her friends and they have been shocked about this because it’s cute and adorable. I’m very happy that she had been able to buy that doll that is very expensive and it’s so nice that she had been blessed with her happiness being paid off to make herself comfortable for sure! You’ll always count on her when she’ll be coming out to represent for me because she’ll give you some smiles and thrills that will cherish you a lot and you’ll be grateful to be with her and her friends when she’ll organizing some future activities to gleam and admire! That’s it for me and I hope that you enjoyed reading this update because it made me feel thrilled that you’re coming out to shine with me and of course, I’m gladly delighted to admire you after all! Until then, I'll see you next time when we'll meet each other again and keep me and Aqours shining through your smiles, everyone!
- Ruby Kurosawa (CV. Ai Furihata)

UP NEXT: Red Section-Chapter 118: “Create Your Own Future with the Bravehearts in Purple and Maroon Shirts from the City of Kagoshima”

It’s so nice to see Sumika and her friends getting to know about what the Kurosawas going to do on their co-habitation with the Bravehearts of Numazu as well as sharing their activities to them, which is very nice to see their friendship getting developed at all. They have also been able to discover about the secrets of Dia and Ruby’s cousin Itsuki, who was part of the Red and Orange Resolution, as well as getting impressed on the mikan cupcakes that Chika baked during the Showa Day. Sumiko had been very determined to Ruby when it comes to one common word: admiration. Sumiko’s admiration to Ruby had been able to make her a friend because not only that she had pleased Ruby when she had represented for Aqours, but she was very compassionated to make her proud, thus, her friendship with her getting closer than ever. Like the friends of the other members of Aqours, Sumiko made a promise that she’ll be planning to team up with Ruby alongside her fellow groupmates and Dia, so that they’ll be able to shine together through their smiles.;) It’ll be fantastic that Sumika and her friends will be ready to show their compassion and admiration for Ruby when she’ll be performing again and of course, they’ll never miss her for sure!:) I know that this one is very special to me because this will be a belated birthday update for Ai because I’m currently posting this update a day after her birthday. I'm feeling grateful that she's getting thrilled that she made progress of her voice acting and music career, especially that she had reprised her role as Majiha Pink in the second season of I'm Standing on a Million Lives and received a role in an idol franchise series after Love Live! Sunshine!! when she had voiced Airi Momoi, a cute and admired member (like Ruby) of MORE MORE JUMP!, from Project Sekai Colorful Stage! feat. Hatsune Miku. So, I hope that I will keep watching out for her because I’ll feeling uplifted to see her voice acting and music career going harmonious and prestigious for sure!;) Good luck and belated happy birthday, Ai!:) The next update will be once again heading back to Ōta because this will be focused on the Bravehearts of Kagoshima as they’re going to contemplate their future after the exit of the Taniyama United Roses in the Ōta Blue Wind Cup when they lost their quarterfinal match against Kazuhiro Hatakenaka and the Blue Verdant Fukuoka. This one will be more of a braveheart update for this month after I have posted the updates for the Bravehearts of Kōtō and the Bravehearts of Takanawa last month and so, you’ll be excited to see a new braveheart group to appear in this series!:) I’ll see you on February 23 (Wednesday) for the next update of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts!
 
Hi, everyone!:) As I'm about to post today's update, the last update wasn't expected to be good as its view counts have been lower than the last week's update by almost 400 and I'm not very happy with this.:( I know that the last update was supposedly looked good, but I didn't like to expect that happen when I checked back on the difference early.

Date: May 8, 2010 (Saturday)

This side story is focused on the Bravehearts of Kagoshima as they’re having their lunch break at the Golden Sun Restaurant to talk about what’s next for them after the campaign of the Taniyama United Roses had been ended in a defeat at the hands of the Blue Verdant Fukuoka.

At the entrance of the Recreational Center in the Misawa Resort Hotel, the members of the Bravehearts of Kagoshima are waiting for the members of the Taniyama United Roses, who were still staying at the locker room after taking their shower earlier.

Bravehearts of Kagoshima: Tsuyoshi Matsushita, Kiriko Ueshima, Seijirō Takazawa, Manabu Himekawa, Erina Fukuyama, Toshimi Yoshikawa, Saki Akao, Haruka Tsuzura, Mimina Ōzora, Sachiko Kasuga, Noa Fuchigami, Minami Tashiro, Aimi Hirakawa, Shizuka Kashiyama, Tomoe Hikichi, Kyōka Wakita, Shunzō Muraoka, Kaname Tsumugi, Riko Hamaguchi and Nanami Sakamoto

“Come on, Tsuyoshi! Just finish changing your clothes already and come along with us!” said Kiriko Ueshima, a second year high school student from the Suzumida Gakuen High School and one of the co-vice leaders of the Bravehearts of Kagoshima alongside Seijirō Takazawa.

“Everyone is hungry for lunch, you know” said Erina Fukuyama, a second year high school student from the Suzumida Gakuen High School and a member of the Bravehearts of Kagoshima.

“Just hurry up!” said Toshimi Yoshikawa, a second year high school student from the Suzumida Gakuen High School and a member of the Bravehearts of Kagoshima.

A few seconds later, Tsuyoshi and his boys from the Taniyama United Roses would come out from the locker room where they have changed their clothes from sporting attires to casual attires. The members from the Taniyama United Roses include Seijirō Takazawa, Manabu Himekawa, Shōhei Haramatsu, Junichirō Hiroike, Kengo Takeguchi, Mitsunori Hisamoto and Takeshi Furue.

“It would have been stolen if they didn’t able to get careful on taking care of their things” said Manabu Himekawa, a second year high school student from the Suzumida Gakuen High School and a member of the Bravehearts of Kagoshima.

“Oh, what a relief! I guess that your boys should pay attention to your leader because you should have brought your clothes earlier before taking the shower” said Kiriko.

“If you want to focus on winning games, then you should be more careful on what you’re doing” said Erina.

“What happened earlier is that you guys are losing control, which means that your confidence had been decreased after all” said Toshimi.

“Yeah, we understand” said the members of the Taniyama United Roses.

“Don’t worry, guys. You should be more focused on making shots to make sure that you’ll be able to work our way to rally together for the win” said Tsuyoshi.

“We have to keep fighting for our team, so that we’ll be able to play it hard to win!” said Seijirō.

They would eat the Japanese platter, which is composed of tonkatsu and chahan, and a Japanese green tea.

After they finished eating their lunch, the members of the Bravehearts of Kagoshima are having a conversation about what’s next for them.

“It’s so nice that we have stayed in Tokyo for the weekend since yesterday, we arrived there before the start of the Ōta Blue Wind Cup” said Saki Akao, a first year middle school student from the Suzumida Gakuen Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Kagoshima.

“We’ll be more indulged to make this anniversary more blooming and harmonious to make sure that our community will be more motivated to believe us for more” said Kiriko.

“For the prelude, it will take place at the Matsushita Residence where everyone in our group including the mainstream groups and allies will attend the gathering to celebrate the first anniversary of our group” said Kiriko.

“Then, here the best part, which will be the celebration. It will be held on May 29 and 30 where it will be fantastic for us and the mainstream groups will be organizing various activities in separate places” said Seijirō.

“Of course, it will be held right in mid-afternoon after the sports festival, depends on the time that will end on that event in our school” said Manabu.

“For those events, it will be more on creative activities that will encourage everyone to be part of it” said Erina.

“Which will be awesome to see if they want to show their smiles, so that they’ll be able to make themselves blessed and inspired” said Riko.

“It’s going to be amazing for that to happen if they wanted to get more excited to be with us during our own celebration and so, we’re hopefully gonna see this for sure!” said Nanami.

“Yeah!” said Tsuyoshi, Kiriko, Seijirō, Manabu, Erina and Toshimi.

“Of course, this 3-day celebration is currently work in progress where we’re the only guys who made the first events, but we need to get into this by giving some bright ideas to share with for the first anniversary of the formation of our group” said Tsuyoshi.

“That’s right, Tsuyoshi! If we want to make this celebration getting better with just the best part, we need you guys to share about ideas on what kind of activities that you want to organize with” said Kiriko.

“It will be great that you will share those to us if we want to include those into our planned list” said Seijirō.

“Just say anything about your plans and then, we’ll make some recommendations on that if whether or not, it will be included for the celebration” said Manabu.

“Can we allow collaborations with rival groups?” asked Shunzō.

“Well, it would be obliged to do so, Shunzō-san, but your fellow collaborators should approve that if they like it” said Erina.

“Then, we can include that as well” said Toshimi.

“Ah, okay!” said Shunzō.

“I have a question to ask, guys” said Kaname as she’s going to ask a question to Tsuyoshi and his friends. “Since we have extended groups, can we allow any of them to collaborate with us?”

“Of course, you can, Kaname-san. If any of your allies have their own ideas to collaborate with you, then you can have that as long as both sides should agree on those terms” said Tsuyoshi.

“It’s important that you should develop your team chemistry with them if you want to make a collaboration activity with them” said Kiriko.

“That way, we’ll be happy to approve that directly” said Seijirō.

“Ah, of course! I understand about that, guys! Maybe, it will be nice to have tie-up activities with the extended groups, which will be better than just group activities” said Kaname.

“Every group can make those if they want to have opportunities to shine their activities for themselves” said Riko.

“Hopefully, there might be some mainstream groups that will organize those if they have found some allies to collaborate with” said Nanami.

“Yeah!” said Tsuyoshi, Kiriko, Seijirō, Manabu, Erina and Toshimi.

“If no one asks a question, that let’s get into it!” said Tsuyoshi as he asks the members of the Bravehearts of Kagoshima to share their ideas for the upcoming first anniversary of the formation of their group. “Now, who wants to go first?”

Saki would finally raise her hand as she wants to be first in sharing her idea for the upcoming first anniversary of the formation of the Bravehearts of Kagoshima. “I think that I go first, Tsuyoshi-san!”

“That’s good, Saki-san! Just start sharing about your idea to us!” said Tsuyoshi.

“You got it!” said Saki as she’s going to start sharing her idea for the upcoming first anniversary of the formation of the Bravehearts of Kagoshima. “So, for my idea, I believe that there should be a floral decoration activity where everyone will create his/her own drawing with flowers as the main theme. They have to make a drawing that involves flowers whether you want to create a blooming garden or creative attire. Of course, they have to use their own imagination in making their own drawing, so that they’ll be able to flourish those with beautiful colors all the way. My friends from the Austral Violet Squadron, led by Mamiko Katsukawa, said that these drawings will inspire everyone in the community, so that they’ll be fascinated that the people of Kagoshima will inspire those before building their own ideas to come up with. It will be amazing to make Kagoshima a city of hopes and dreams with everyone indulging themselves to create their own dreams, but this should be much better witness that for sure!”

“That idea is good to me, Saki-san!” said Haruka.

“I’m liking this! My sister would be interested in participating that one!” said Mimina, who had a younger sister in Runa Ōzora, a fifth grade elementary school student from the Suzumida Gakuen Elementary School.

“I have to say that your idea would be stupendous to allow the participate to fascinate themselves!” said Sachiko.

“It will be amazing that they’re going to make some fabulous designs with flowers as its main theme” said Noa.

“Which means that they’re going to make them creative with their own ideas to show with!” said Minami.

“It’s going to be more of a fantastic activity that you’re going to make them blessed and inspired because they know that it’s their time to create their own future” said Aimi.

“I say that they should be ready to do their best in showing their fascinated and aesthetic ways to get their drawings more beautiful” said Shizuka.

“Hopefully, you’ll be able to impress them when they’re done with their drawings” said Tomoe.

“So that, they’ll make themselves earned if you found them more beautiful and more attractive” said Kyōka.

“Yes, of course! Me, Mamiko and Koharu Toyokawa will be judges for the activities where we’ll be going to look at those designs, so that we’ll be able to announce the winners during the thanksgiving dinner” said Saki.

“That idea of yours is very nice to have a competition for your allies to take up with, Saki-san!” said Tsuyoshi.

“It will be great to allow your close friends out there to participate at that event, so that they’re going to show their skills in making their own designs that might fascinate us” said Kiriko.

“Yeah, you’re right about that! The floral design activity will be perfect for my friends and allies to compete in that competition, which is why I want to see them showing their skills to make drawings and if I find it more fascinated, then I’ll pick it as the best drawing” said Saki.

“Well, I’m sure that your idea will work out for our celebration and so, I’ll approve it as one of the planned activities to take place” said Tsuyoshi.

“Hopefully, your friends and allies will be coming out to participate in your activity, so that it will be blooming enough to make it magnificent for sure” said Kiriko.

“Yeah, I agree with that, guys!” said Saki.

“Who’s next to share about an idea to gleam with?” asked Seijirō.

Minami would take her turn to share as she raises her hand. “Oh, I have one!”

“Well, Minami-san, it’s your turn to share!” said Erina.

“Yeah, say something about your idea to organize with” said Toshimi.

“So that, we’ll include them into the planned activities that we’ll be including in our celebration” said Manabu.

“Sure, I would be glad to!” said Minami as she’ll be explaining her idea for the first anniversary of the formation of the Bravehearts of Kagoshima. “For my idea, I’ll be organizing the Follow the Emerald forum where I’ll be inviting my close friends to share their moments about their personal lives as well as how they have been doing in their current year. Of course, they’ll also be discussing about the meaning of emerald in different ways because emerald is my favorite gemstone and I want to gleam them to make it brighter. I’m going to be more positive if my guests will be coming out to share their big moments and give my friends on my side some wonderful advice to make it more astounding.”

“Oh, wow! I never had an idea that you have, Minami!” said Aimi.

“It will be fantastic to let your friends inspire them because they want to be like them when they’re growing up” said Shizuka.

“I’ll be more opportunistic to listen to your close friends about what they’re sharing about because I like to indulge them” said Tomoe.

“Your friends will be grateful to hear about anything that is magnificent and beautiful and hopefully, they’ll remember those when the forum is done” said Kyōka.

“Yeah, of course! The Follow the Emerald forum is all about the luck and prosperity that people want to empower with and I always like to empower myself to make that I’ll be able to shine anything brighter and so, this forum will benefit everyone to inspire them with their smiles because they want to make the difference in creating their own future” said Minami.

“Hey, that one is pretty good, Minami!” said Seijirō.

“That forum idea is more interesting for our allies to hear that!” said Kiriko.

“Yeah, we’ll be happy to include that on the list, so that you’ll be able to cherish your friends with your compassion” said Tsuyoshi.

“Of course, you can count on that activity, guys, because I’ll be asking my close friends to come to our celebration, so that they’ll be able to show their pride and willpower when they’ll be sharing their moments” said Minami.

“Oh, sure!” said Tsuyoshi while Kiriko and Seijirō nod their heads in agreement without saying a word.

“I think that I have my own idea to fascinate too!” said Aimi.

“Well, Aimi-san, you too?” asked Tsuyoshi.

“Yep!” said Aimi.

“Then, say something about your idea that you want to make!” said Tsuyoshi.

“We want to know what you’re planning!” said Kiriko.

“Okay!” said Aimi as she’s going to explain her idea that will be organized for the first anniversary of the formation of the Bravehearts of Kagoshima. “I want to invite my friends to attend my own activity, which will be known as the Raylight Blackboard activity where me and my friends from the Sunny Lily are pretending to be teachers while our allies are going to learn about different subjects that they want to learn for more. I’m aiming to become a teacher in the future I’m done in basketball when I’m getting older, but I’ll be expecting to start being smarter to get high grades and I hope that I’ll be able to get it done without hesitation.”

“That sounds like a good idea, Aimi-chan! I never know that you’re having an ambition to become a teacher aside from being a basketball player” said Minami.

“I’m very interested to see your activity because you want to teach them with your abilities to make them learned” said Shizuka.

“Being a teacher would be a nice for you, Aimi, because it will benefit you to learn everything from the basics and you’re more focused on being a smarter girl” said Tomoe.

“I believe that you’re gonna make your friends and allies ready to know everything that you learned, so that they’ll be able excel themselves in different subjects with your teachings” said Kyōka.

“Well, I would be more confident to make my friends more comfortable in trying to get better in different subjects because I had already been an honor student for two years right now. I should try to keep my goal of getting into the honor list this year if I want to get qualified for scholarship as soon as possible” said Aimi.

“That idea is very interesting, Aimi! Organizing a classroom activity will be great to let everyone learn to improve themselves because they want to be more focused on getting smarter just like you” said Erina.

“I would be expecting for your activity to be promising because you had a great ambition of becoming a teacher, which is good to have that once you’re done in basketball” said Toshimi.

“I think that you’ll be getting some brighter future up there, Aimi!” said Kiriko.

“That’s why we’ll be approving that into the list!” said Tsuyoshi.

“Oh, that’s so cool! I’m loving it!” said Aimi.

“Yeah, you’re right about that, Aimi-chan! We should be ready to make our friends more blessed with our activities that will be shining with!” said Minami.

“Of course, Minami! Things are about to more interesting to see my teaching skills and hopefully, I can able to nail it all the way to make my activity successful” said Aimi.

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

“Yeah, no doubt about it!” said Aimi.

“Who’s going to be the next person to share?” asked Tsuyoshi.

Noa would raise her hand as she’s ready to share her own idea for the first anniversary of the formation of the Bravehearts of Kagoshima. “I’ll be sharing next!”

“Ah, I see you, Noa-san! What are you planning for the first anniversary?” said Tsuyoshi.

Noa would be sharing about her idea for the first anniversary of the formation of the Bravehearts of Kagoshima. “My idea will be an informational activity about my parents’ workplace where they have been very good in making noodles. Oh, yeah, I love noodles, which I used to eat those whether it comes to a flavor or not! Me and my friends will be better if we’re going to share about the workplace where my allies will know about how they have produced noodles and how it had been worked well in history. Also, I could invite my parents to come around to share about their moments too because it will be amazing to make my activity getting bloomed enough to make my friends very delighted.”

“That sounds good, Noa-chan! I have used to visit that place to buy some noodles out there!” said Sachiko.

“It’s going to be nice that you’re going to let them know about the things that they want to see in that workplace” said Mimina.

“Noodles are more productive to make everyone feeling good that their stomachs are full” said Haruna.

“I’m sure that you’re very interested in working there because you want to build good noodles, so that you’ll be able to sell those for sure!” said Saki.

“Yes, I am, Saki-chan! I’m very proud of my parents making their noodles, especially that they give those to my friends on my side, so that they’ll be happily indulged to eat those. Hopefully, I’ll be making this activity something bloomer than how me and my friends from the Gracious Robin, led by Rika Okuda, have organized some group activities before” said Noa.

“That sounds like a good idea, Noa! I’ll be expecting to give a taste on their noodles if I want to crave myself to that” said Manabu.

“Me too! I’m very interested to see how they have done to make sure that they’ll be able to give us those to eat” said Seijirō.

“It will be amazing to give that activity more inspirational for your friends to know about the workplace for noodles, and so, I’ll be approving that one” said Kiriko.

“Yeah, that would be amazing to make your friends ready to fascinate about your parents’ mastering of making noodles, so that they’ll be able to eat those to make them feel good!” said Tsuyoshi.

“Yes, of course! I’ll be more delighted to see my activity getting promising and I hope that I will give them some blessings if they have appreciated them at all” said Noa.

“Yeah!” said Tsuyoshi, Kiriko, Seijirō, Manabu, Erina and Toshimi.

“Now, who’s next to share?” asked Kiriko.

“Oh, I’ll be sharing one!” said Sachiko.

“Then, it’s you, Sachiko! Go ahead and share about your ideas!” said Kiriko.

“It will be great to see what you’re planning about” said Tsuyoshi.

“Yeah, I would be glad to!” said Sachiko as she’s going to share about her idea for the first anniversary of the formation of the Bravehearts of Kagoshima. “As you can see, since my main color is dark blue, I want to organize a stargazing activity at night where my friends and allies will be gleaming to see the moon and stars in the sky. To be honest, I’m very good in science, especially that I had learned about space. This stargazing activity will be more shining to gleam everything that sparkles and I hope that it will reflect this to show that we want to be more determined in shining ourselves like we used to be.”

“Oh, I think that your activity would be cooler to make, Sachiko!” said Mimina.

“That activity is so perfect for you and your friends to see the night sky!” said Noa.

“I like your idea, Sachiko, because it will be nice to see the moon and stars that shine bright during nighttime whenever we’re about to go to sleep” said Haruka.

“It will be blissful to make that happen, so that you’ll be able to see them beautiful before your very eyes. You’re seemed to be more confident in wishing upon a star every night and so, you’re more determined to have a good life to enjoy with” said Saki.

“Yeah, I agree with that, Saki-chan! Whenever I looked at the moon every other night, I made wishes that I want to be more determined in making my life easier and also, I had been very delighted to organize activities that are more luminous and glistening. So, it’s going to be awesome that making this wonderful activity will allow my friends to indulge themselves with their smiles, which means that they’re going to make me proud on organizing this” said Sachiko.

“That’s a good idea that you’re focusing on the stars, Sachiko!” said Erina.

“It seems that you want to gleam the moon and stars with your friends, which means that it’s going to be awesome for them to make themselves shine like you have used to” said Toshimi.

“I have to say that your activity will be prospered enough to make them feel comfortable to see the night sky while showing their smiles to you” said Kiriko.

“Then, I’ll have to approve that to make sure that you’re going to organize this when it’s the right time to gleam with” said Tsuyoshi.

“Oh, that’s good! That’s so awesome! I’m sure that you’re excited about this, but hopefully, it’s going to be something that you want to gleam for yourself! Right, everyone?” said Sachiko.

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

“We’re currently down to just 9 more members left to share and I hope that we need someone to volunteer next” said Seijirō.

“Yes, of course, Seijirō-kun! Who goes next?” said Manabu.

Mimina would step up as it’s her turn to share about her idea for the first anniversary of the formation of the Bravehearts of Kagoshima. “Well, then, I’ll have one to share for the celebration!”

“Oh, that’s good, Mimina-san! What do you got?” said Manabu.

“Yeah, we want to know about your ideas that you have!” said Tsuyoshi.

Mimina would share about her ides for the first anniversary of the formation of the Bravehearts of Kagoshima. “As you all know, my activity for the upcoming celebration in our group will be role playing activity with my friends from the Tagami Golden Dragons, which is led by Ryuzō Tsukamoto. We want to share about the folklore of Japanese dragons that have been existed in fictional stories and how does it reflect in our lives right now. Then, we’ll be having a short story about a Japanese dragon wondering for luck, which I love to make lucks to everyone. That’s why it’s going to be more dazzling and blooming to organize this activity because that would allow everyone to gleam us when we’re acting like we’re about to become superstars. Hopefully, you’ll be prepared to see what we’re doing when this activity will happen during the night of the celebration.”

“Hey, that one is going to be cool, Mimina-chan! I love stories about dragons!” said Noa.

“Yeah, me too! I like to hear about those because you’re very good in storytelling when you shared us about the fantastical stories every weekend!” said Sachiko.

“This is going to be awesome to have a role play that you’ll plan with, Mimina-san!” said Saki.

“I’ll be more delighted to see what you and your friends will be planning on that, so that you guys will be ready to shine!” said Haruna.

“Yeah, I agree with that, girls! I’m very good in acting and storytelling as I want to make everyone gleaming with their eyes to see and it’s going to be amazing that my role play will be more prospering to make sure that everyone will like this activity without hesitation to impress us” said Mimina.

“Hey, that idea is very nice to share about, Mimina-san!” said Manabu.

“The role play would be great to see you shining with your actions out there with your friends, so that everyone will be ready to impress you” said Seijirō.

“I have to say that your idea would be a great one to make it to the list of approved activities, Mimina-san!” said Tsuyoshi.

“That way, they’re ready to see you shine just like you have used to represent for your varsity team” said Kiriko.

“Yeah, I agree with that, guys! I’ll be very confident to do my best in my group’s role play, so that everyone will be happy to see us working together and make it magical and magnificent!” said Mimina.

“That’s great! Then, you better start working on the script before the execution on how the role play works” said Tsuyoshi.

“You have to work hard if you want to make it successful for the celebration” said Kiriko.

“Yeah, I will!” said Mimina.

“After Mimina, who’s next to share?” asked Erina.

Kyōka would be raising her hand to answer Erina’s question. “You know, I have an idea that I came up in my mind.”

“I see, Kyōka. Then, share it to us” said Erina.

“We want to know about what you’re planning for the celebration” said Toshimi.

“That way, it’ll be awesome to approve that into the list” said Kiriko.

“Okay!” said Kyōka as she’s going to share about her idea for the first anniversary of the formation of the Bravehearts of Kagoshima. “For my idea, I want to organize an activity that is more focused on Japanese literature because I used to write stories that I made ever since I was a little girl. My mother is a good columnist for the local newspaper in Kagoshima and my father is an interpreter for Chinese people. I like to express everyone when they write literary poems and short stories because I want them to be more inspired in doing their own stories to tell and it’ll be amazing for me to see the participants doing their own stories that will used to inspire everyone. If I want to make my future getting brighter, then I have to be motivated in organizing this as well as sharing some stories that will fascinate you the most.”

“That idea is so cool that you’re going to make, Kyōka!” said Shizuka.

“You’re very good in writing because you love to share those to everyone!” said Tomoe.

“I have to say that it’s going to be nice to organize that activity, so that your friends will be showing their skills in writing their own works” said Aimi.

“You’ll be ready to make them feel good if you have found them interesting!” said Minami.

“Yes, it is, girls! I had been passionate to make those because I want to express myself in showing to the community that I have learned a lot of things to fascinate. Even I had been a basketball player, I still write anything that is related to the community. In the future, I will be happy to work in a local newspaper company just like my mother do, but I have to focus on playing basketball first before I’ll go with my other ambition to do. That way, I’ll try to keep motivating myself to make sure that I’m on the right path to show with” said Kyōka.

“I like your idea to fascinate your friends, Kyōka-san!” said Toshimi.

“I always like Japanese literary activities, even those in school, because I’m very good in writing those, so that I can share those to my friends. I believe that your activity will inspire your friends to show their skills in writing, so that they’ll be able to make themselves earned if you like them” said Erina.

“It’s going to be cool that you’ll groom them to have brighter future just like you!” said Kiriko.

“As a result, I’ll be approving this as well!” said Tsuyoshi.

“Why, thank you, guys! I know that you have been able to impress my idea to make it count for our celebration and I’m sure that it’ll be harmonious to make my friends feeling uplifted and joy to attend this for sure!” said Kyōka.

“Yeah!” said Tsuyoshi, Kiriko, Seijirō, Manabu, Erina and Toshimi.

“Now that Kyōka is done sharing about her idea, then it’s my turn to share!” said Shizuka.

“Well, I’m glad that you have one to share, Shizuka-san!” said Tsuyoshi.

“I hope that you’re going to share something that will fascinate your friends with your idea that you have!” said Kiriko.

“Okay!” said Shizuka as she’s going to share about her idea for the first anniversary of the formation of the Bravehearts of Kagoshima. “My idea for the first anniversary of the formation of the Bravehearts of Kagoshima is I will be organizing a magical activity where I’m going to turn my home into a haunted house, but in a twist where it will be more liked Mount Pyre from Hoenn Region. Also, my close friends and I will be sharing about the occultism where we will be discussing about some black magic and supernatural things that were seen in the anime and drama. The main reason for this is my group, the Mystic Breeze Plum, led by Hatsuko Nakazawa, and I have been interested in isekai and we wanted to discuss some those, so that my allies will be able to know those when they’re reading isekai manga or watching isekai anime. Of course, we can’t do that in real life, but we can make sneaky activities like stopping the criminals and creating mysterious activities that are sacred, but not more of an initiation.”

“Hey, that one is not bad, Shizuka!” said Tomoe.

“I’m very fascinated about this because you’re more focused on reading isekai manga, which means that you’re good enough to organize this” said Kyōka.

“It will be great to organize that, so that your friends will be more creative to make their own magic in real life, although they’re too young to do it” said Aimi.

“Hopefully, it will be nice for your activity to be spooky and scary, but in the big picture, it gives more motivation to discover about black magic” said Minami.

“Yeah, I agree! My friends and I have planned on this a few days ago where we wanted to convince my close friends and allies to discover about black magic. At first, we want to do a movie marathon, but we decided to do an informational activity because we’re very good in lecturing different topics when we’re getting bored. Even I’m not lazy enough to finish this on time, I decided to go overnight to get it done while easily finished my assignments early” said Shizuka.

“Well, that’s a good idea of your activity, Shizuka-san, but to be honest, it would have been better if you can organize a movie marathon instead of that activity” said Seijirō.

“A movie marathon with black magic as its main theme would be fit to make that happen rather than doing a lecture about black magic” said Manabu.

“However, you can keep your original idea, which the haunted house idea will be stayed” said Kiriko.

“That way, you’ll be able to make your activity something better than just simple informational because movie marathons are good enough to discuss black magic with different things that you have to remember” said Tsuyoshi.

“Uh… I would second on that at this point, Tsuyoshi, but I’ll go with that to make it as part of our activity where the movie marathon will go first before the discussion” said Shizuka.

“That’s better! I would go for that!” said Tsuyoshi.

“Then, your activity will be on the list too!” said Kiriko.

“Thanks, guys! I knew that you’re going to count on me for that!” said Shizuka.

“You’re welcome!” said Tsuyoshi and Kiriko.

“It’s down to 6 remaining with me, Haruna, Shunzō, Kaname, Riko and Nanami haven’t shared an idea for the first anniversary of the formation of the Bravehearts of Kagoshima. So, who’s gonna go first?” said Tomoe.

“Well, to be honest, Tomoe, you should go first” said Nanami.

“We’ll save it for the last because we want to do something special just like our fellow groupmates have” said Riko.

“It would be great that you, Haruna and Shunzō will go first because we still haven’t figured it out on what our plan would be” said Kaname.

“Okay, Kaname-san, I respect your decision, but of course, we’ll not gonna let you down” said Haruna.

“Yeah, you’ll have your time to share once the three of us are done” said Shunzō.

“We’ll make up for you!” said Tomoe.

Kaname feels relieved that she, Riko and Nanami will go last to share, which she gives Haruna, Tomoe and Shunzō a smile. “Sure, I would be glad to! Just say about your plan and goal!”

“Okay!” said Haruna, Tomoe and Shunzō.

“If that’s the case, then I’ll be sharing my own idea first!” said Tomoe.

“That’s good! Now, share about your idea, Tomoe-san!” said Tsuyoshi.

“Hopefully, you’ll finally inspire something big like how the others shared about their ideas earlier” said Kiriko.

“Okay!” said Tomoe as she’s going to share about her idea for the first anniversary of the formation of the Bravehearts of Kagoshima. “For my idea, it’s going to be a do-it-yourself activity where me and my friends from the Prosperous Wind, led by Fuyuki Ichiyama, are going to make some ice cream with different flavors to use. We’ll be making some delicious ice cream, so that we’ll be able to give it to everyone on my side to give a taste on those. It will be amazing for them to taste one and so, it’s going to be nice that they’re going to take one and hopefully, they’ll find it delicious.”

“I like your idea out here, Tomoe-san! Making an ice cream would be so nice for your friends to gleam on this!” said Shizuka.

“It’s going to be nice that you’ll have some good creativity to make those because not only that they’re delicious, but everyone can take a bite on that every time!” said Kyōka.

“I have to say that your activity will be off the charts if you and your friends will make some fabulous ice cream because they find it attractive” said Aimi.

“Hopefully, the community will be ready to eat those if they’re impressing the designs that you have” said Minami.

“Yep! I want to show to the community that I can make ice creams that are sparkling and delicious because it will be great for my community to get interested on those if they like the taste of it. My parents have used to work those in an ice cream factory and sell those to everyone, which they loved it. So, if I want to do the same thing on making ice cream, then I have to start practicing it before the actual activity. Also, I wouldn’t mind if I can have another activity where we’ll be making some delicious cakes for the celebration, which is very fine with us to make that” said Tomoe.

“That sounds good, Tomoe-san! I can allow both ice cream and cake making activities to the list because making an ice cream will last for a day, but making a cake would be very easy to get it done” said Manabu.

“I would prefer doing the cake making activity to allow some time to work on quickly than making an ice cream” said Seijirō.

“Making an ice cream may take a day to finish and it should be kept frozen for a day, so that it will be good to go” said Kiriko.

“So, I would consider both activities into the list, but it depends if you want to prefer making an ice cream first or going for the cake making activity” said Tsuyoshi.

“Well, I can decide on doing some cake making activity before the ice cream activity because it would be better to make a cake earlier than make an ice cream because a cake can be baked and get it done for at least 4 hours, but making an ice cream would be lasted for almost a day. Of course, the cake will be used for the celebration of the first anniversary of our formation, so we don’t have to worry about that for sure” said Tomoe.

“That’s fine with your decision, Tomoe-san. Just make sure that the cake will be freshly baked before the group dinner” said Tsuyoshi.

“Everyone is ready to see what cake that you’re building for the celebration” said Kiriko.

“Okay, I can count on that, guys!” said Tomoe.

“Yeah!” said Tsuyoshi and Kiriko.

“Now, the next person to share will be Haruka” said Erina.

“Yep! Share your idea for the first anniversary of the formation of our group” said Toshimi.

“Okay!” said Haruka as she’s going to share about her idea for the first anniversary of the formation of the Bravehearts of Kagoshima. “I’m very interested in grilled foods because my father used to cook grilled takoyaki and grilled fish, which means that I can inspire that for my activity that I’ll be making, which will be a cooking activity. In my activity, my friends and I will be cooking some grilled foods that will be served for the group dinner and thanksgiving dinner. For the first part, the group dinner will be more of the lighter side as we’re going to cook some grilled takoyaki and other easy-to-cook Japanese grilled foods. Then, the other part, which will be the thanksgiving dinner, we’ll be cooking some delicious gourmet foods that are freshly grilled, so that we’ll be giving those to everyone in our group.”

“Wow! I never thought that you had a fantastic activity that you’re gonna make!” said Saki.

“That one is going to be good for all of us to give us some grilled foods!” said Sachiko.

“Oh, I would love to eat some takoyaki because it’s my favorite!” said Noa.

“Maybe, I can get some chicken teriyaki, which is so good to eat those in one bite!” said Mimina.

“Well, you girls are excited for this because I can hardly cook anything that is grilled, so that you’ll be able to indulge yourself to eat those! I’ll be more confident to appreciate my cooking once those foods are good to eat!” said Haruna.

“Yeah!” said Saki, Mimina, Sachiko and Noa.

“That’s a good activity that you have, Haruna!” said Erina.

“I wanna see what you’re cooking for us during the celebration!” said Toshimi.

“Yeah, we want to take a look at those!” said Seijirō.

“We would be happy to eat your delicious foods that you’re going to cook for us!” said Manabu.

“I’m so surprised that you’re very good in cooking grilled foods because you’re interested in those foods!” said Kiriko.

“I would be happy to take a look at those, so that I’ll be able to eat those for myself! So, I’ll take your idea to the list of approved activities to be planned for the first anniversary of the formation of our group” said Tsuyoshi.

“Alright! Now, you’ll be ready to make yourself comfortable because I’ll serving you some freshly grilled foods that you want to see for sure!” said Haruna.

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

“That was a simple and good activity that you have planned, Haruna! It reminds me that I have an idea that I came up with” said Shunzō.

“Oh, I see! I’m sure that it’s going to be something that will make your friends feeling good to see that” said Haruna.

“Yeah, of course!” said Shunzō as he’s going to share about her idea for the first anniversary of the formation of the Bravehearts of Kagoshima. “My planned activity will be a house-building activity where we’re going to use some warlord figures to assemble a fictional community with the use of samurai houses and traditional Japanese palaces. We’re going to make a diagram on what to build before we’ll be applying it with our figures and buildings, so that we’ll be able to work it done to make sure that everything is stable.”

“Wow! That one is pretty unique to build, Shunzō!” said Haruna.

“I’m so surprised that you’re going to create your own community that you want to resemble from historical drama or anime” said Mimina.

“I think that it will be great to build your own community to settle this, which means that you’ll have to show to everyone that you’ll be making a fictional community that it more blooming and prosperous” said Sachiko.

“I have to say that you’re going to lay a foundation in making that community, so that you’ll be able to symbolize those with your own representation to make” said Noa.

“And since you’re ambitious to lead your own team just like how you did last year with the elementary school boys’ basketball team, then, you’ll have to adapt those to make your building community something that is more special for you to represent” said Saki.

“Yeah, that’s true, Saki. I’m very confident that I had been doing my best to prove that I’m very good in making my own moves to shine and I have kept my confidence every time that I want to be on the move. Me and my fellow teammates have been prepared every game to make sure that we’re going to do anything to rally our way to victory” said Shunzō.

“I like your expressive attitude that you always want to pump up for your team, Shunzō!” said Manabu.

“I always believe in you because you always dazzle your way to create some firepower for your team” said Seijirō.

“It will be amazing that you’re going to show your pride and willpower for your team to get it done, so that you’ll be able to prove to your opponents that you’re one of the future superstars to step up in the future” said Kiriko.

“I say that you’re a good guy to represent the prospered and adamant team and I believe that you’ll have some high hopes to take up with if you want to keep your career going well” said Tsuyoshi.

“Yeah, of course! I’m always getting motivated to do anything that I can shine and hopefully, I’ll be able to make it to the top class for sure!” said Shunzō.

“That’s my boy! I’m going to include your idea into the list, so that you’ll be delighted to work on this once the celebration is here” said Tsuyoshi.

“Okay, it’s a deal!” said Shunzō.

“Now that almost the entire group had done sharing about their ideas, we still have three more to conclude this sharing” said Seijirō.

“Of course, that would be the three of you, Kaname, Riko and Nanami” said Kiriko.

“Yeah, you’re right about that! We’ll be sharing our own set of activities that we’ll be assembling with while celebrating the first anniversary of the formation of the Bravehearts of Kagoshima” said Kaname.

“Okay, then, share your ideas!” said Tsuyoshi.

“Sure!” said Kaname, Riko and Namami as they’re going to share their ideas for the first anniversary of the formation of the Bravehearts of Kagoshima, which Kaname would go first. “For the three of us, we’ll be organizing three activities, which will be collaborated by our friends from the Uemachi Honōzen Middle School girls’ basketball team and the Tsumugi Shining Crown, the group that me and my fellow teammate Reina Kobori. First up, it’s going to be the frappé making activity where we’ll be combining some ice cream and milk to make some iced-cold milkshake for everyone. We’ll have some ingredients to prepare before we’ll be working on this together.”

“Then, it would be followed by a subject forum where we’ll be discussing some current topics in the Science class. I had been very good in that subject because I have learned everything about the human anatomy and the environment. Since I’m more devoted to protect the Mother Earth, then, I’ll have to learn everything, so that I’ll be smart enough to ace it out on that subject for sure!” said Riko.

“And last but not the least, it’s going to be the campfire night where we’ll be going outside and spend the rest of the night with camping. We’ll be bringing some relaxing music player and lots of foods to cook while spending outside through the night. Of course, we’ll be sharing about the most unprecedented stories in Kagoshima as well as some scary things that we have in the past” said Nanami.

“These three activities will be great for us and our friends to get along with each other while celebrating the first anniversary of the formation of the Bravehearts of Kagoshima” said Kaname.

“It will be awesome that we want our friends to get involved and show their smiles to us so that they’ll be able to get indulged while the activities are ongoing” said Riko.

“Hopefully, it’s going to be more exciting for the celebration to get bloomed and of course, we’ll be ready to show our smiles to our friends like we have used to” said Nanami.

“Great ideas that you have!” said Haruna.

“I’m nailing those!” said Tomoe.

“Those activities are so cool!” said Shizuka.

“Man, I can participate on any of those if I want to!” said Shunzō.

“I’m so excited to see this!” said Kyōka.

“Yeah, me too!” said Aimi.

“This is going to be so much fun for your friends to get enjoyed getting along with you!” said Noa.

“Those activities are more blooming and beautiful to make your friendship with your friends getting developed for more” said Mimina.

“You have brighter ideas to work on this and it’s going to be nice that you’re going to make everyone cherished with smiles and joys” said Sachiko.

“I say that your activities are fascinated to watch out for it!” said Minami.

“Hopefully, we’re gonna see how your progress being made in those activities” said Saki.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Kaname, Riko and Nanami.

“We want to be more confident in showing our pride and willpower to make our friends ready to motivate themselves as we want to be prospered enough to make our community growing with blessings” said Kaname.

“We always shine in our way to make sure that we’re here to bless and inspire everyone and so, we’ll do our best to prove that we’re here to make everyone compassionated and thrilled” said Riko.

“Hopefully, we’ll make our community more blooming and prosperous with their hopes and dreams being filled, so that they’re ready to create their future for themselves” said Nanami.

“Those activities are more promising that you’re gonna make your friends being filled with blessings” said Toshimi.

“I have to say that your activities will be awesome to make yourself shining with your friends” said Erina.

“You’re going to be more thrilled that your friends are ready to get along with you!” said Manabu.

“They’ll be giving you the smiles that you’ll gonna like the most” said Seijirō.

“We’ll be approving your ideas into the list, so that you’ll be allowed to organize those once the first anniversary of the formation of the Bravehearts of Kagoshima will be held” said Kiriko.

“You’re always good in making brighter ideas to come up with and so, you’ll be happy that your plans will be fulfilled once you finally have some time to prepare for the celebration” said Tsuyoshi.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Kaname, Riko and Nanami.

“Since everyone is done with the sharing, I think that it’s time for us to contemplate this in preparing for the big celebration, so that once this will almost approach to the weekend after the mid-term examinations, we’ll prepare this together. Right, guys?” said Tsuyoshi.

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

“It’s almost 1:00 in the afternoon and the fun will never end since it’s going to be blooming to make us more prospered with our blessings that we have” said Kiriko.

“Hopefully, we’ll be happily enjoying this day to make this vacation in Tokyo so good!” said Saki.

“Yeah, you’re right about that, Saki-san!” said Tsuyoshi before standing up and holding his bag as he and his fellow groupmates are about to leave the Golden Sun Restaurant. “Now, let’s go out and have some fun celebrating at the central park!”

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Kagoshima while giving Tsuyoshi a big smile, which he gives them a smile in return as a gift of cherish for them. The Bravehearts of Kagoshima are very motivated with their brighter ideas being made for their group’s first anniversary, which will be held on May 29 (Saturday). It’s going to be fantastic that they want to celebrate this, so that they’ll be able to shine themselves like the braveheart groups have used to, which means that they’re ready to bless and inspire everyone in their community in Kagoshima with their heartful smiles and wonderful joys.

LATER TONIGHT: A Special Message from Karin Asaka
 
A Special Message from Karin Asaka

Hi, everyone! This is Karin Asaka of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and I’ll be sharing about the connection circle of Natsuko Tomizawa, one of the members of the Bravehearts of Minato. For those who don’t know about the connection circle, I’ll be explaining this, so that you’ll remember that when the next time any member of NijiGaku will be sharing about one member of the Bravehearts of Minato to another. So, the connection circle is a special circle group that is exclusively to Minato and its neighboring areas where one member of the Bravehearts of Minato is connected through friend groups and allies that have been made and how they have developed their friendship with them. My fellow members of NijiGaku have already explained about the connection circles of different members of the Bravehearts of Minato including Moeko Higashikuni, which was shared by Kanata Konoe, and Sayaka Morinaka, which was shared by Emma Verde. I’m sure that you’ll be aware that Moeko, Sayaka and Natsuko are known as the Shushiba Trio that joined the Bravehearts of Minato to start developing their friendship with their friendly rivals Shinako and her friends on her side. Now, it’s time head into the details of Natsuko’s connection circle. Natsuko is an expressive and compassionated member of the Bravehearts of Minato and the Shushiba Elementary School girls’ basketball team. She had started to make friends with the Midnight Smile, a friend group that is composed of her friends and led by Miyu Yokozawa, because she found out that they have been supporting her basketball career so easily, thus, she had admired them through her smile. One time, they have watched movies during the weekend whenever they’re hanging out together at Natsuko’s home and spend their time in singing karaoke. Also, they have collected plush toys that are very cute, which is one of the characteristics for Natsuko as Natsuko was very innocent and determined to show her valiant aura to show with. It’s more fun to see her getting along with her friends from her friend group, which means that they have found their way to get closer to each other after all. On the other hand, she would become friends with Haruno Sugasawa, the leader of the Pride of Midnight Nadeshiko and a fellow schoolmate of mine from the general course, because they have been known for their admiration on idols, especially school idols like me and the rest of NijiGaku, thus, they have attended some idol-related events to meet the idols everywhere. Also, they have visited Gamers Odaiba to buy some anime merchandise items that are more beautiful and valuable while they are interested to eat korokke and tonkatsu because they’re so delicious, compared to the other deep-fried dishes that they took a taste with. I’m so delighted that they have been gotten along with each other, especially that they have brought their friends to create their bonds of friendship that they’ll never miss! I have to say that she’s showing her passionate and prestigious personality to her friends on her side because not only that she’s feeling uplifted to get along with her friends, but she got the thrills to enjoy with them through her rainbow heart. I hope that she’ll keep it up to make sure that she’ll shine her way to prosper everyone in her community because she’s always feeling excited to step up to represent for the Bravehearts of Minato and make her thrills coming out to gleam for sure! Now that I have finished sharing about Natsuko’s connection circle, which also completes the section for the Shushiba Trio, the next connection circle that our school idol club will be sharing next time is going to be the connection circle of Maika Kayama, which will be explained by her cousin Ayumu Uehara and it will be posted on March 2 (Wednesday), the day after Ayumu’s birthday, which will be on March 1 (Tuesday). I hope that you’ll be ready to witness another connection circle to gleam with, especially that it’s going to be very special at all and so, get ready to see it for yourself when Ayumu will be sharing about this! Until then, I’ll see you next time on a future update that will feature me and the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and keep shining without letting yourself down to believe, everyone!
- Karin Asaka (CV. Miyu Kubota)
 
Last February 25 (Friday) was the birthday of Chisato Arashi from Love Live! Superstar!! as this will be the first time that her birthday will be celebrated since the announcement of that series will have its anime adaption this year. Chisato is a first year high school student from the Yuigaoka Girls’ High School and the childhood friend of Kanon Shibuya (CV: Sayuri Date). She likes dancing but decides to become a school idol instead. She is distinguishable from her twin tail and hair buns and had a part time job in a takoyaki shop. Chisato is voiced by Nako Misaki, whose birthday will be on March 8 (Tuesday). Advanced happy birthday, Chisato!:) And before you’ll read this update, this one will be dedicated to Moeka Koizumi, Rie Takahashi, Yukari Tamura, Tōru Ōkawa, Yūko Sanpei, Hirokazu Hiramatsu and Kana Hanazawa. Moeka, Rie and Yukari are currently celebrating their birthdays today (February 27) while Tōru, Yūko and Hirokazu will be celebrating their birthdays tomorrow (February 28). Take note that Hirokazu’s birthday is on February 29, but since that day is not included in the year 2022, he will be celebrating his birthday tomorrow instead. Born in Hyogo, Moeka is a voice actress and singer and a member of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, Starlight Kukugumi, Peaky P-key and harmoe as she’s the voice actress of Shioriko Mifune, a member of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and R3BIRTH, from Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, Nana Daiba, a member of Starlight Kukugumi, from Revue Starlight, and Yuka Jennifer Sasago, a member of Peaky P-key, from D4DJ. She’s also the voice actress of Shiho Ichimura, a member of Mystery kiss, from ODD TAXI, which will release its movie this year as ODD TAXI: In the Woods, and Tasmanian Devil from Kemono Friends 3. Coming out from Saitama, Rie is a singer and the voice actress of Ena Saitō (Laid-Back Camp, which will release its movie this year), Minori Nanahashi (One Room), Emilia (Re:Zero – Starting Life in Another World), Megumin (Konosuba), Takagi (Teasing Master Takagi-san, currently in third season) and Mash Kyrielight (Fate). She’s also a member of the three-member unit Earphones, alongside Marika Kouno and Yuki Nagaku. Hailing from Fukuoka, Yukari is the voice actress of Keike ‘Laurier’ Kisaragi (Oresuki) and Tsukushi Tsutsukakushi (The “Hentai” Prince and the Stony Cat). Born in Kagoshima, Tōru had voiced various characters from different anime releases including Masayoshi Sawatari from Angel’s 3Piece! Coming out from Tokyo, Yūko is famously known as the voice actress of Boruto Uzumaki from BORUTO: Naruto Next Generations. She is also the voice actress of Ryō Akizuki (THE IDOLM@STER and THE IDOLM@STER SideM, representing 876 PRODUCTION and F-LAGS) and Kiri Uzaki (Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!). And last but not the least, hailing from Aichi, Hirokazu is the voice actor of JK Cool Manager Yamada from Maesetsu! Hopefully, those six will continue making progress of their voice acting careers as they’re showing their pride and courage to make it successful, especially to both Rie and Yukari, who have done a great job in their music careers. As for Moeka, I hope that I’ll watch out for her because she’ll be determined to shine her voice acting career like her fellow members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and Starlight Kukugumi did and of course, she’ll be ready to shine out when she’ll appear in the second season of Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club by April 2022!;) Happy birthday, Moeka, Rie, Yukari, Tōru, Yūko and Hirokazu!:) And of course, the reason why I want to save Kana for last is because today’s update will be all about Tomoka Minato, a member of the Bravehearts of Ōta and the heroine of the anime Ro-Kyu-Bu! So, get ready to show some pride and willpower for her as here comes today’s update!:)

Now, to cap off the month of February, I’ll be posting today’s update as this time, it will be focused on Tomoka Minato and the Bravehearts of Ōta as they’re going to have a great day after their co-habitation with the Bravehearts of Fukuoka, the Family of Angels and the Stormred Higanbana. In this update, they’ll have a little break at the Misawa Resort Hotel before they will be joined by the classmates of Toshiko Horikawa and Riruka Maruyama where it ended up turning into a conversation. You’re going to witness their encounter as it will all about the hopes, dreams and prosperities that everyone cherished with, which means that it will be more blooming and harmonious to witness those before your very eyes!;) Of course, this update will be very special for me that I will be dedicating this to Kana Hanazawa, whose birthday was last February 25 (Friday). Born in Tokyo, Kana is the voice actress of Tomoka Minato (Ro-Kyu-Bu!), Kōme Ogi (Angel’s 3Piece!), Eri Mizutani (THE IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls), Ichika Nakano (The Quintessential Quintuplets; anime will release its movie this year), Mama Hanasaki (Uchitama?! Have you seen my Tama?), Kaworu Sakakibara (Gekidol), Maimai Yuzuriha (Zombie Land Saga, appearing in its second season as Zombie Land Zaga Revenge), Mayumi Saegusa (The Irregular at the Magic High School; anime will return for its third season this year as The Irregular at the Magic High School: Reminiscence Arc), Chloe/Koharu (Pokémon Journeys) and recently, Yuwa Akebi (Akebi’s Sailor Uniform). She had also been very great in her music career as she was able to dazzle her way to shine through her voice and of course, she had released her recent singles including “Moonlight Magic” and her sixth album, “blossom”, which was recently released four days ago. Two years ago, she was married to fellow voice actor and singer Kensho Ono, the voice actor of Pochi Yamada from Uchitama?! Have you seen my Tama?, Alain from Pokémon XY and Tetsuya Kuroko from Kuroko’s Basketball. I’m so surprised about this because both seiyus have appeared in basketball anime releases separately as Kana had appeared in Ro-Kyu-Bu! as its leading heroine while Kenshō had appeared in Kuroko’s Basketball as its main leading voice actor alongside Yuki Ono, the voice actor of Taiga Kagami, which I'm happy for them to have wonderful lives after their marriage two years ago!:) I hope that she will continue making progress of her voice acting and music career because she had always admired herself to stay blessed and inspired with her smile for sure!;) Belated happy birthday, Kana!:) Now, if you’re ready to show some pride and willpower to make the Bravehearts of Ōta proud, then, you’re in luck because here comes the 119th side chapter of the Red Section Series with the title, “There’s Nothing More of a Blooming Afternoon to Prosper Everyone”! Enjoy reading the 119th side chapter of the Red Section Series!:)

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES
CHAPTER 119: “THERE’S NOTHING MORE OF A BLOOMING AFTERNOON TO PROSPER EVERYONE

Date: May 8, 2010 (Saturday)

This side story is focused on Tomoka Minato as she and her fellow friends are looking around at the central park in the Misawa Resort Hotel while the final day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week is ongoing.

Tomoka and her friends from the Bravehearts of Ōta have returned to the Misawa Resort Hotel after meeting with the members of the Fuchsia and Blue Soul as they’re planning to do a plan before the culminating event of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week, which will take place later tonight at the beachfront.

Bravehearts of Ōta: Tomoka Minato, Maho Misawa, Saki Nagatsuka, Airi Kashii, Hinata Hakamada, Kagetsu Hakamada, Mimi Balguerie, Tsubaki Takenaka, Hiiragi Takenaka, Masami Fujii, Natsuhi Takenaka, Miyu Aida, Aya Miyakoōji, Rena Ashihara, Kazuko Kakimoto, Mizuki Koyama, Kentarō Iguchi, Kana Tamayama, Asumi Hiramatsu, Yui Takizawa, Ryōko Aihara, Yūichirō Matsumoto, Kazue Ōgaki, Naoko Andō, Junsei Watanabe, Sayaka Ashihara, Miho Miyamoto, Misako Kuriyama, Toshiko Horikawa, Riruka Maruyama, Azumi Ogawa, Suzuka Aoyama and Yasue Hanagata

“I’m sure that the search will be great for them to start contributing for your circle of friends, Mokkan!” said Maho.

“I have to say that those guys are going to get it done later on if they’ll be able to find the former members of the Dragons of Ōta right before the culminating event” said Saki.

“They still have many hours to do that before the sunset comes, but I believe that they’ll have the confidence to finish their mission at any time they want” said Mimi.

“So that, they’ll be able to make themselves earned while reporting those to Subaru and Aoi later” said Masami.

“Yeah, of course! They have their own confidence to find the former members of the Dragons of Ōta, so that they’ll be able to convince them to support the revival of that group” said Tomoka.

“We all know that the Dragons of Ōta have been disbanded last year, but we’re very prepared to witness their revival if everyone wants to see that group again” said Airi.

“It’s going to be amazing that we will have them back if the search is complete with everyone being interested in supporting that campaign” said Hinata.

“But it will take a while to make everyone supporting this because some of them may not be interested on that due to some reasons” said Kagetsu.

“So, hopefully, we want them to be motivated in supporting the revival of the Dragons of Ōta” said Tsubaki.

“Because they have missed that group for most of the time and they wanted to be more delighted to see that group again” said Hiiragi.

“It’s going to be amazing that the Dragons of Ōta will be coming back if the search is all complete as soon as possible” said Kazuko.

“The search will benefit all of us to convince everyone to support the revival of that group” said Mizuki.

“Which means that the more that we have those former members very quick…” said Kentarō.

“…the better the chances of reviving the Dragons of Ōta will be increased” said Asumi.

“This one may be hard to accomplish, but I hope that our allies will be able to help us if we can do some collaborative activities to make the search more blooming everyday” said Kana.

“As soon as we want to be on the move to make Noboru happy to see his former comrades coming out” said Sayaka.

“Then, he will finally be ready to make a big announcement that he will bringing back the Dragons of Ōta for sure!” said Misako.

“Yeah, I agree with that! Hopefully, it’s going to be done right before the end of the month, so that we’ll be able to work on our next plan to make Noboru feeling uplifted to do something unimaginable. Right, everyone?” said Tomoka.

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

“I’m so surprised when you talked to your friends earlier about the plan in making the search more progressing!” said Toshiko.

“But I believe that they’ll do their best to find those former members, so that they’ll be able to get it done to make themselves earned” said Riruka.

“I like the way you negotiated with them because you’re very kind and determined to let them bloom to do their job, which means that they’re going to show how it’s done by finding those former members through their eyes” said Azumi.

“I know that you’re amazing to talk with your friends out there earlier, but it would be better that every one of us will have our own extended group to assemble with” said Kazue.

“Which means that we can work with them to make sure that we’re all on the move to complete the search as earlier as possible” said Yūichirō.

“We will be very confident if we can start running with extended groups, so that we’ll be able to make our community ready to shine like the other braveheart groups have used to” said Naoko.

“It’s going to be great that the search will be good enough for all of us to be on the move as soon as we have to work together as one” said Junsei.

“If we want to be blessed and inspired for more, then we have to do our best to run the group to make everyone ready to make themselves comfortable” said Yui.

“That way, they’ll be prospered enough to create their own dreams to take up with, especially that they’re here to inspire us” said Ryōko.

“Yeah, that’s true, guys! Since we’re a young braveheart group, we should better start running our own extended groups because we need everyone to contribute, so that they’ll be able to represent for us like the way the other braveheart groups did. It’s going to be amazing that we’re all set to run our group through our auras and of course, we should always give everyone a smile!” said Tomoka.

“Yeah, we will!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta.

“It feels great that we have started the progress of the search ever since the Unbreaking Charisma had started it last week, but of course, more groups have started to do the same thing” said Miyu.

“Maybe, we can start working on that project if we’re not busy on our studies at some point, so that we’ll be able to make progress in blooming and prospering our community like the other braveheart groups have used to” said Aya.

“Things will be different once the extended groups in Ōta are running all over the place and it’s going to be amazing that they’ll give everyone the blessings that we need” said Rena.

“You said it, girls! We can hear all of those later tonight in the culminating activity when we’ll get along with Subaru, so that we’ll be talking about what to do for this month” said Tomoka.

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

“Speaking of which, now that we’re back home to the Misawa Resort Hotel, I hope what’s buzzing around on the final day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week” said Maho.

“Hopefully, there’s going to be some surprises out here because we have found so many guests coming out to enjoy the festival” said Saki.

“The more that everyone visits this place for enjoyment…” said Airi.

“…the better that the Fuchsia and Celadon Week will be more of a big success!” said Hinata.

“Yeah, I agree with that, Hinata-san! It’s going to be great that everyone in Ōta is ready to make themselves prospered and harmonious on the final day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week and hopefully, we’ll be ready to shine ourselves when the Era of Fuchsia and Celadon had finally begun” said Tomoka.

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

The members of the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka would reach the central park where they’re going to temporarily part ways for a while.

“We’ll be meeting with each other later, Tomoka-san! We have to celebrate our own day to indulge with!” said Keiko.

“That’s right, Keiko-chan! We’ll be having a mid-afternoon break where we’ll be celebrating Keiko’s special day with her friends on her side” said Mika.

“But we still have more time to get along with during the culminating event” said Miho Kumada.

“So, we should be ready to prepare for the big feast where all foods will be coming out to eat and drink” said Hisako.

“Then, it’s going to be our great opportunity to enjoy the night together” said Sana.

“Where we’ll be ready to make our moments to shine for sure!” said Miwako.

“Okay! We’ll be meeting with you again later!” said Tomoka.

“Okay, we will!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka as they’ll be parting ways with the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta, so that they’ll be having their mid-afternoon break for themselves.

“Hey, we should have some mid-afternoon break too!” said Mimi.

“That way, we’re going to relax ourselves for a while before we’ll do something later on” said Maho.

“Yeah, of course, Maho-san and Mimi-san! We should do something amazing to bloom before the sunset comes because we need to make us more energized while the sun is still shining in the afternoon” said Tomoka.

“Then, we should stay at the edge near the stairway to the beachfront to relax ourselves before we’ll take a mid-afternoon break” said Miyu.

“That’s a great idea!” said Tomoka.

Later, the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta are walking to the edge near the stairway to the beachfront where they would take a nice and relaxing reflection where they’ll exercise themselves first before they’ll take a gleam on the view.

“Ah! That’s better!” said Maho.

“This is so good!” said Saki.

“I’m so glad that this is working!” said Airi.

“Ah! I can finally feel dazzling to relax myself!” said Hinata.

“Yep! This is where I used to take a break after having a training with my fellow teammates, so that I will be soothing myself to refresh my minds before thinking about what to do later” said Miyu.

“You sound very confident to have your own charisma to pay it off, Miyu-san! I didn’t know that you’re more expressive to yourself since you’re my rival” said Tomoka.

“I’m feeling surprised that you’re more of a calm person to show with!” said Mimi.

“You might be not serious to do that since you’re trying to prove the best for your team” said Sayaka.

“It’s going to be great that you’ll be determined to show your moves just like how Tomoka did” said Kazuko.

“I’m sure that you’ll be more delighted to make yourself comfortable while taking a nice break for yourself” said Mizuki.

“Yeah, for sure, girls! I know that I’m very confident to be a rival to Tomoka, but when I realized that rivalry is different than a friendship, I started to think of befriending her because she’s so brave and determined to show her skills like she’s about to become a superstar. I’m very delighted to see her smile even she is different than anyone else that I had met. I should be more patient to show my smile to my rivals because it’s very important to make friends with them like you want them to be expressive to you. I don’t know if I can do something different to make the difference, but I’ll have to keep being serious rather than being assertive because I’m always coming out to shine my own way” said Miyu.

“Well, it seems that you’re generally serious about being a rival to Tomoka, but I have to say that you’re a good friend of her” said Toshiko.

“Any rival can do anything to make himself/herself comfortable to anyone that he/she faced with” said Riruka.

“You’ll get used to it when you’re hoping for some great competition to prove for yourself to be consistent” said Azumi.

“Yes, that’s true. I hope that my career will continue to grow now that I have become part of the Suzuridani Girls’ Academy Middle School basketball team and I want to entrust anyone who wanted to fascinate and dazzle, which means that I’ll be happy to make my chemistry with my teammates getting developed” said Miyu.

“Of course, you should, Miyu-san! Since you’re my rival, then I’ll be cooperating with you no matter what, just to make sure that you’re ready to feel thrilled to have your career blooming” said Tomoka.

“Well, I can count on that, Tomoka-san! Thanks for your words of wisdom that you gave me and I can’t wait to do something different this year after we faced each other!” said Miyu.

“Yeah, me too! I can’t wait to have a possible rematch with you this year because we’re both good players who have reached ourselves to the next level, but it’ll be amazing that we’re gonna have a great breakout year for both of us. What do you think?” said Tomoka.

“I would be grateful that we will have a breakout year, Tomoka-san. I mean, we clashed against each other twice and I always showed my way to dazzle to defeat you, but since that I had joined the Bravehearts of Ōta, I started to think about having a competition against other girls that are so good to ball with” said Miyu.

“Uh… to be honest, there are a lot of girls competing for the best female players in our class, Miyu-san. As far as we’re good and efficient, we have to battle against the other girls that are brave and bold enough to show their skills” said Tomoka.

“I see. Then, we should train hard as soon as we’re all set to battle against them. What do you think?” said Miyu.

“That would be better to make us stronger when we’re going to compete in the prefectural tournament” said Tomoka.

“Yes, indeed!” said Miyu.

“I think that you two should start preparing yourselves for the upcoming prefectural tournament in two months because not only both Keishin and Suzuridani will be competing in that tournament, but there are many schools going to be there as well” said Mimi.

“The middle school prefectural basketball tournament will be one of the competitions that will be more competitive, in our opinion” said Maho.

“Because this tournament will be served as a qualifier for the Nationals, which will be held by August” said Saki.

“Every team will do their best to shine with their players to run with and there could only be one last team standing by the end of the tournament” said Tsubaki.

“It will be every team’s fate as a big challenge for everyone to see who will make it to the Nationals” said Hiiragi.

“Hopefully, it’s going to be great for the two of you to shine, so that you’ll be able to create your own moments to make it happen” said Masami.

“Not only for that, everyone will test their strength to draw first blood in the tournament where they’ll have their opportunities to prove themselves that they’re ready to shine through their auras” said Airi.

“When a team is prepared, they have to show their strength in trying to prove themselves, so that they’ll be able to dazzle themselves to step up and run all the way” said Hinata.

“You’ll be ready to face a lot of opponents before reaching to the point that the two of you will finally face against each other” said Kagetsu.

“Well, I’m very confident about this, girls, but I’m sure that it’s going to be heated when my school and Tomoka’s school will possibly meet each other again” said Miyu.

“You can say that again, Miyu-san, because we should be more locked in to have a potential match-up between the two of us, so that this will be great for everyone to watch” said Tomoka.

“Yeah, I would count on that!” said Miyu.

“I think that you two are seemed to be hyped for that tournament, but there’s still a long way to prepare for that tournament” said Azumi.

“Huh?” surprisingly reacted Tomoka and Miyu.

“What do you mean about that, Azumi-san?” asked Tomoka.

“You see, before the upcoming prefectural tournament, each team will schedule their warm-up matches for the month of May and June” said Azumi.

“Where everyone will test their strengths to see if they’re ready to go for the prefectural tournament” said Toshiko.

“Not only it will be a test of strength, but it will determine on who will be coming out as a stronger team before the upcoming tournament” said Riruka.

“I’m sure that you’re all aware of this as schools with bravehearts have used to get higher seeds in the tournament, but sometimes, they might be drawn into the tough bracket” said Kentarō.

“It’s going to be complicated when any team would be drawn to a situation like this” said Asumi.

“And the only way to overcome this is to work on their way out with wins” said Kana.

“You could also count comebacks if they’re worthy to turn back on track late in the second half” said Suzuka.

“So, it would depend on how the players show their strength in battling against teams that are tough to beat” said Yasue.

“Of course, it will be nice to have your coaches do their strategy to make it count” said Misako.

“As soon as they’ll be able to work on their strategy, they should be ready to make themselves running with dominance” said Miho Miyamoto.

“That way, it will be amazing for your teams to get moving like the way it used to” said Sayaka.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Tomoka an Miyu.

“I know that we have done that before when we were teammates back in elementary school, Miyu-san!” said Aya.

“This time, you have to rely on your own with your teammates in your team because they’re different than us now” said Rena.

“Yeah, I guess so, Aya-san and Rena-san. I think that my team needs to work on the first years like me because that’s the part where they’re going to show themselves to make sure that they’re ready to run the place. I will be happier if me and my teammates will show our way to prove because I’m good at this!” said Miyu.

“Then, you should start training on your chemistry activity with your teammates if you want your team to be formidable and consistent” said Aya.

“Which will help you to improve your teammates’ chemistry like it’s about to bloom hard” said Rena.

“Yeah, I can do that!” said Miyu.

“Tomoka-san, I think that we should do the same thing because even that we’re just joining that middle school varsity team, we have to work together if we can prove ourselves to be good at it” said Maho.

“Azumi and her fellow friends are very strong in attacking the defense and showing some efficient shooting in the perimeter” said Saki.

“Maybe, you can make your own ability to show your strength and prove that you could be like them” said Airi.

“That way, it will be awesome that you’re getting improved with your tendencies and attributes being more efficient than last year” said Hinata.

“Yes, of course, girls! Since we’re all in the same team, I think that we should get some extra training to work on this because if we want to be formidable and consistent, then we have to work it out to make sure that we’re going to rally ourselves for the victory” said Tomoka.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Maho, Saki, Airi and Hinata.

“I believe that you’re going to work on this, Tomoka-chan, because you’re more on anything that you can shine your own way and you’re typically a good leader” said Mimi.

“A good leader can assemble his/her own strategy to make sure that it’s running very well” said Kagetsu.

“You should make some tweaks in trying to form a winning strategy to make sure that it’s all good to go” said Tsubaki.

“You can also get some help from your other teammates in your team, so that your strategy will be more efficient just like how it did for the other schools” said Hiiragi.

“I’ll always believe in your strategy, but you should be good in analyzing the situation before starting to run a good strategy. It will help you to develop your strategy to make it count when you and your teammates will be rallying during the game” said Masami.

“Hopefully, you’ll be able to adapt something big to make sure that your team will be good to run” said Kazuko.

“It’s going to be great that you’re going to shine your team to dominance and I hope that it will be amazing to seize the game for the win for sure!” said Mizuki.

“Yeah, I will! Thanks for your words, girls! I’m feeling okay that I should be ready to adapt something new, but one day, I’ll surprise you all with something that you want to see!” said Tomoka.

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

“Hopefully, I’ll be planning on something that will thrill you once it’s almost there for the middle school prefectural basketball tournament, guys! It will be so good that you’ll be preparing for this very soon” said Azumi.

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

Later, Mako Yamauchi would appear alongside Ayame Kusakabe, Shiki Nagatomo, Tamako Kiyonari, Seiko Komura, Yōko Hagimoto and Asuka Hirasawa. Ayame Kusakabe and her friends are all first year middle school students from the Keishin Academy Middle School where they came from section 1-J. Tamako is the younger sister of Tomoyuki Kiyonari.

“Cousin!” said Mako while waving her hand to say ‘hi’ to Tomoka.

“Oh, there you are, Mako-san! I can’t believe that you came here to see me!” said Tomoka.

“Yep! I just talked to Toshiko and Riruka’s classmates out here, saying that they want to hang out with you for a while” said Mako.

“Ah, that sounds good” said Tomoka while giving Tomoka a smile before asking the classmates of Toshiko and Riruka a question. “So, you girls want to hang out with us for a while?”

“Yeah!” said Ayame, Shiki, Tamako, Seiko, Yōko and Asuka.

“We were getting bored about nothing for the entire day before we were surprised that Mako was there” said Ayame Kusakabe.

“Mako is your cousin, Tomoka-san” said Shiki Nagatomo.

“Which means that we want to hang out with you for a while” said Tamako Kiyonari.

“Well, I can count on that, girls! You can come along if you want” said Tomoka.

“Okay!” said Ayame, Shiki, Tamako, Seiko, Yōko and Asuka.

“I think that the best time to find a place to start a conversation if you want to make yourself comfortable, guys” said Mako.

“Sure!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta and the classmates of Toshiko and Riruka.

“I’ll buy some food for you later!” said Mako.

“Okay!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta and the classmates of Toshiko and Riruka before Mako leaving to find a place to buy some food.

“I’m so surprised that the six of you are here since you want to have some fun without losing your thrill” said Toshiko.

“It seems that you want to be more confident to shine just like we did” said Riruka.

“Well, we want to fascinate ourselves to get along with the bravehearts after we found out that the two of you have joined that group” said Ayame.

“It would be amazing that we will be starting to make a great friendship with your friends out here” said Shiki.

“So that, we’ll be able to get closer with you!” said Tamako.

“We have been schoolmates with Tomoka and her friends in elementary school before the two of you have enrolled in our school” said Seiko Komura.

“Which means that we’re very blessed that we have more bravehearts to show up” said Yōko Hagimoto.

“It will be amazing that we’re going to have some fun hanging out with you like we never experienced this before!” said Asuka Hirasawa.

“I see! I say that you girls should be more determined to be with us because our friends from the Bravehearts of Ōta are very courageous and determined to show their pride and willpower to make them blessed and inspired” said Toshiko.

“You should be ready to have your blessings being made because this is a great time to enjoy!” said Riruka.

“Yeah, for sure!” said Ayame, Shiki, Tamako, Seiko, Yōko and Asuka.

“So, girls, we can talk anything at one of the tables in the central park, so that we’re going to be indulged to get along with you” said Tomoka.

“Okay!” said Ayame, Shiki, Tamako, Seiko, Yōko and Asuka.

The members of the Bravehearts of Ōta and the classmates of Toshiko and Riruka would pick the big table where they’ll be going to have a conversation between them.

“Now, tell me, girls. Where are you coming from?” said Tomoka.

“The six of us were coming from Nishina, which is the same hometown of Toshiko and Riruka” said Ayame.

“Where we have used to get along with each other in our neighborhood” said Shiki.

“We used to live together ever since we’re all childhood friends” said Tamako.

“Then, we became closer than ever when we have gotten along with each other for fun during the weekend” said Seiko.

“While most of our parents are at work, we decided to hang out for an hour whenever we want to finish our school stuff for a day” said Yōko.

“It feels great that we have used to stay together in our neighborhood and so, we’re very confident that we want to aspire anything that is more possible to shine” said Asuka.

“That’s very nice, girls! I’m very glad that you girls have gotten along with each other since you have been living together!” said Tomoka.

“Whenever young students live together next door, they used to be close with each other through various activities” said Maho.

“Then, they can go out to have good bonding when they want to eat or play” said Saki.

“It feels awesome that you girls have been very optimistic to have a great friendship with each other” said Airi.

“You’ll be more indulged to have your friendship getting developed, so that it will be amazing to prosper yourselves with blissful hearts and wonderful smiles” said Hinata.

“Yeah!” said Ayame, Shiki, Tamako, Seiko, Yōko and Asuka.

“We became very confident to show our smiles with each other when we have met with each other” said Ayame.

“Thus, we have spent a lot of good moments to shine with” said Shiki.

“Especially when we have attended gatherings without getting late” said Tamako.

“The six of us have continued to show our friendship that we used to when we reached middle school” said Seiko.

“And then, it goes getting better when Toshiko and Riruka became classmates of us” said Yōko.

“As soon as we want to be more determined to have bravehearts on our side, we’ll be ready to show everything what we got to bless and inspire them” said Asuka.

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

“We, as bravehearts, are very compassionated to show some pride and willpower to make sure that we’ll be giving everyone some blessings that will shine you the most” said Tomoka.

“We have bloomed and prospered our community to make sure that everyone will be ready to engage themselves to believe and inspire” said Maho.

“We’re feeling harmonious to show that we want to make our community being growing with blessings and so, it’s very awesome that we worked all the way to make themselves comfortable through their hearts” said Saki.

“You can be part of that if you want to make the difference, so that you’ll be able to get involved in helping our community to shine for more” said Airi.

“That way, you’ll get earned whatever you want as long as you’ll be able to prosper your way with your smile” said Hinata.

“Yeah, we will!” said Ayame, Shiki, Tamako, Seiko, Yōko and Asuka.

“One thing that you find it coincidental is that we became connected with Ami Takai, a classmate of Ruriko Hosoda of the Bravehearts of Minato” said Ayame.

“Whoa! Wait a minute, girls. Did you say that you had a neighbor that is a friend of another braveheart?” said Tsubaki.

“Are you kidding me?!” added Hiiragi.

“Yeah!” said Ayame, Shiki, Tamako, Seiko, Yōko and Asuka.

“Ami Takai is a resident in our hometown, but she studied in the Hanzōsen Elementary School where she’s a sixth grader” said Ayame.

“Ami had been a friend of Ruriko since first grade and they have used to get along with each other as classmates” said Shiki.

“Ruriko had been a great basketball player just like most of you, girls, as she had showed her way to gleam and dazzle with her moves” said Tamako.

“She’s definitely known as the Elegant Sharpshooter as she had been able to make shots in the perimeter perfectly” said Seiko.

“We were very surprised about this when Ami told her that Ruriko had joined the varsity team last year” said Yōko.

“Yeah, it feels great that she had been connected to one of the bravehearts in Minato as she had become close to her without letting herself down” said Asuka.

“Ah, that’s interesting. That Ruriko is resembled to me” said Mimi.

“WHAT?!” shouted the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta and the classmates of Toshiko and Riruka.

“No way!” said Masami.

“I’m definitely surprised with that, Mimi-tan!” said Kagetsu.

“I have to say that you had a counterpart from another braveheart group” said Tsubaki.

“That seemed to be familiar, if you ask me” said Hiiragi.

“So, wait, you know about her?” asked Toshiko.

“Are you serious with that?” added Riruka.

“Well, to be honest, I didn’t meet Ruriko in person, but I only recognized her when I looked at the rankings for the best players in my class” said Mimi.

“How come?” asked Aya.

“According to the website of the Youth Basketball Weekly, Ruriko is one of the best players in Tokyo as she’s very determined and humble to dazzle her moves like she’s a superstar. She had been formidable to create defense to lock down her opponents while making jumpshots through her aura. When I was travelling back to Tokyo last summer, I had seen her doing her skills when she performed against her opponents in the court. She’s very consistent to shine her way with her moves, making sure that she’s ready to create her own moment to show up” said Mimi.

“Oh, I get it now. That girl must be more focused on the wing players that she guarded against” said Toshiko.

“She can also make moves to create her shots without hesitation” said Riruka.

“I have to say that she’s more dazzling and shining to show her moves because she can outlast her opponents with her aura to create” said Azumi.

“It would be amazing that she’ll develop her career to the next level if she’s aiming to become an elite shooter with great defense through lockdown abilities” said Kagetsu.

“Just like I used to battle against rough wing players like Rena” said Masami.

“Yes, she would. That’s why she may be drawn resemblance to me, but she’s typically different than I have because she’s taller than I am. Of course, she would be qualified to play as a power forward if she wants to play hard through defense, however, she preferred to play as a small forward instead” said Mimi.

“Well, I’m okay with her current position because she’s good to take her time to shine when she’s ready to be on the move” said Sayaka.

“That’s kind of a bizarre move for her because even she’s tall, she can still make shots without losing her aura” said Tsubaki.

“It would be amazing for her to play in both positions if she can take down her opponents through force. My twin sister and Kagetsu have done that” said Hiiragi.

“She’s very good in both offense and defense, which means she would definitely play as a wing player” said Mizuki.

“She can clamp down her opponents whatever she wants and then, shoots all the way to make herself formidable and dazzling” said Kazuko.

“Thats right, girls! Anyone who is more consistent in playing at the 3 while his/her second position is either a shooting guard or power forward is considered a wing player” said Saki.

“It will allow them to play through both offense and defense whenever there’s a situation against a player that is strong” said Tomoka.

“Yes, that’s true, girls” said Mimi while Kagetsu, Tsubaki, Hiiragi, Masami, Kazuko, Mizuki and Sayaka shout only “Yeah!”

“I agree about the definition of wing players, girls, because Ruriko had been able to focus on players that are tough and consistent as this is her best time to take the stage against them” said Ayame.

“Ami said that Ruriko had started to use her defense when she was guarding someone as she began to clamp her down through her aura” said Shiki.

“She was surprised when she saw that move as she was able to get it done to let her opponent turn the ball over through a steal or a smart move” said Tamako.

“It feels nice for her to see Ruriko shining her basketball career when she took part of the Hanzōsen Elementary School girls’ basketball team as a bench player last year” said Seiko.

“And now, she’s the starting small forward and captain of the team, thanks to her development in improving her tendencies and skills from the inside and outside” said Yōko.

“Hopefully, she’ll be ready to watch out her again because she can gleam and shine for her like it’s about time to dazzle around” said Asuka.

“Yeah, I agree with that, girls! I did the same thing to become the captain of the Keishin Academy Elementary School girls’ basketball team after Tomoka and her fellow teammates in her class have moved to middle school this year. With my confidence being used as the key to a great career, I’m going to do my best in shining my career this year, so that I’ll be able to make myself earned for sure!” said Mimi.

“Oh, that’s very nice! I hope that you’ll make it to shine your way just like Ruriko did!” said Ayame.

“I say that you’ll have high hopes in your basketball career because you’re seemed to be good enough to dazzle with your moves” said Shiki.

“You’ll be more optimistic to take care of the court to make sure that you’ll really your team to victory” said Tamako.

“It would be awesome that you’ll have more progress for your team because that’s how young girls used to do that in early stages of their careers” said Seiko.

“The more that you have produced well in your career, the better that you’ll have chances of increasing your potential of becoming the best player in Tokyo” said Yōko.

“It’s going to be fantastic that you’ll have that to get it done for sure!” said Asuka.

“Yeah, I will, girls!” said Mimi.

“What is your favorite color?” asked Yūichirō.

“It would be indigo” said Ayame.

“That’s interesting. I never thought that we have another member whose favorite color is indigo” said Yūichirō.

“Right after the Takenaka twins, who were part of the first members of the Bravehearts of Ōta” said Kazue.

“Yep! The six of us have shown our pride and determination to keep us shining without letting ourselves down to believe” said Ayame.

“Believe is the key to make us feel comfortable and delighted in our lives because we want to make the difference in showing our pride and willpower to everyone” said Shiki.

“We’re very determined to make us innocent and charismatic as we want to shine our community through our own ways to gleam and shine with” said Tamako.

“As classmates of Toshiko and Riruka, we want to be more responsible in keeping our hopes and dreams to be alive as soon as we want to prosper in our own way” said Seiko.

“The color indigo had been more on determination, which means that we’re very confident to bloom everything that is possible” said Yōko.

“We’ll be ready to take the glimpse to shine because we’re all here to admire and inspire you all” said Asuka.

“Oh, that’s very nice, girls! I never know that you girls are more determined to have your blessing being made” said Yui.

“It would be nice to show your smiles to everyone on your side because you have been very determined to have better opportunities to fascinate with your eyes” said Ryōko.

“Since you girls are very confident to have a strong desire to believe, then you’ll be prospered enough to make us feel good” said Yūichirō.

“It’s going to be amazing that you’re going to gleam and shine that you want to make our community feeling bloomed with your desires” said Kazue.

“I have to say that you’ll be ready to show your confidence to them, so that you’ll be able to bless and inspire them” said Naoko.

“Just like how we used to our allies on our side without a doubt!” said Junsei.

“Yes, we are!” said Ayame, Shiki, Tamako, Seiko, Yōko and Asuka.

“We want to be more motivated to show our auras to prosper everyone, even we’re not surprised about the fact that you guys are all here. Hopefully, we will work together if we want to shine our way to make sure that we’re all running through our smiles” said Ayame.

“Well, you should count on us if you want to be part of our group because in the Bravehearts of Ōta, we have made our community being prospered and harmonious with blessings everywhere” said Miyu.

“It’s going to be nice that you can do anything to make yourself earned because you have your opportunities to do something nice to bloom” said Aya.

“We did some fantastic moments when we started to form this braveheart group and now, we’re currently running around with the extended groups being created” said Rena.

“Of course, the extended group system will be served as a circle of friends for every member in our group because we want to be more blessed just like how the other braveheart groups have used to” said Kentarō.

“It would be amazing for all of us to start engaging ourselves to shine our community as we want to make everyone feeling comfortable to have their blessings coming out for them to gleam and shine” said Asumi.

“If we want to make the difference to show that we’re to show our compassion to everyone, then we can do anything that is blooming and gleaming” said Kana.

“To make sure that we’re ready to show some pride and willpower to everyone on our side through our compassionated hearts” said Suzuka.

“The more that we gleamed and shined our community, the better that everyone will have the blessings to give for us to be blessed and inspired” said Yasue.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Ayame, Shiki, Tamako, Seiko, Yōko and Asuka.

“It will be a great pleasure that we will shine you to make sure that you’re all here to bless and inspire us” said Ayame.

“Our confidence is needed to make us more determined and thrilled to do whatever it takes to make everyone filled with happiness and smiles” said Shiki.

“We have a lot of things to gleam as friends or allies, whatever you’re gonna call us, as we want to be more inspired to engage ourselves to make everyone comfortable” said Tamako.

“If we want to do something gleaming just like you guys, then we have to be more adapted in showing our hearts to everyone” said Seiko.

“We can make the difference to create activities to call out everyone to gleam and shine with us” said Yōko.

“That way, they’ll be ready to make us comfortable with their smiles being paid off” said Asuka.

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

“Since we’re all compassionated to show our pride and willpower to everyone, we can do anything to make yourself thrilled and develop a great friendship that will never be lost after all” said Hinata.

“This is what the Bravehearts of Ōta can do to make sure that we’ll never let everyone down to make sure that we’ll be ready to bless and inspire everyone through our auras that we have” said Airi.

“Everyone in our group can do anything to bloom and shine as we’re always motivating ourselves to make sure that we’re going to do our best to make our community being full of blessings and inspirations that they will thrill themselves” said Saki.

“It’s going to be amazing that you can join our group if you want because we believe that you have your confidence being the key to shine everyone” said Maho.

“You could count on us if you want to run along with us, so that we’ll be going to keep blessing and inspiring everyone in Ōta!” said Tomoka.

“Yeah!” said Ayame, Shiki, Tamako, Seiko, Yōko and Asuka.

“You know, the six of you, it would be amazing to come along with us to form our own friend group if you want to make us blessed and inspired” said Toshiko.

“The Ogawa-Maruyama Diamonds have two groups that have been part of, which are the Pink and Plum-Section 9 and the Bright Diamond” said Riruka.

“Of course, we’re open to form another group that will be part of it, which will be a friend group for Toshiko and Riruka” said Azumi.

“We need some of our classmates to be part of our group, so that we’ll be able to work together to gleam and shine our community” said Toshiko.

“You could be part of us because you’re all classmates in our section and so, you’ll be delighted to take part of it for sure!” said Riruka.

“Sure, we would be glad to because we’re here to count on us!” said Ayame, Shiki, Tamako, Seiko, Yōko and Asuka.

“That’s great! Welcome to the Ogawa-Maruyama Diamonds, girls!” said Toshiko.

“You’re now welcomed to gleam and shine with us!” said Riruka.

“You’ll be ready to work with us to make our community ready to shine for sure!” said Azumi.

“Yeah!” said Ayame, Shiki, Tamako, Seiko, Yōko and Asuka before thanking Toshiko, Riruka and Azumi. “Thank you very much, girls!”

“You’re welcome!” said Toshiko, Riruka and Azumi.

“Oh, wow! I’m so surprised that they have finally welcomed new members in that group!” said Misako.

“I’m so grateful that they have started their own expansion to make sure that they’re gonna represent for them!” said Miho Miyamoto.

“It’s going to be amazing that they’re going to welcome their new members, so that they’ll be able to shine themselves without losing their auras all the way” said Sayaka.

“Yeah, you’re right about that! We’re more prospered to show our pride and willpower with our members ready to motivate themselves” said Toshiko.

“Of course, our new sub-group will be composed of our classmates that are coming from our section 1-J” said Riruka.

“This new sub-group will be different than the two sub-groups that we have in our original formation” said Azumi.

“Which means that we want to be more confident in hanging out with our classmates to show their smiles in representing for us” said Toshiko.

“The only way to be part of our new sub-group is to have one of our classmates that aren’t part of any other mainstream groups of the Bravehearts of Ōta” said Riruka.

“They should be welcomed to be part of that group, so that they’ll be able to get along with us in no time” said Azumi.

“That sounds good for your team to expand, girls!” said Hinata.

“I’m so excited that your will finally start welcoming your group!” said Airi.

“It will be amazing that you’re going to recruit new members before doing your own circle of friends because it wouldn’t be complete to have many members in your group to represent before you’ll finally start opening a new plan to team up with your allies on your side” said Saki.

“Your group had been very group since you have formed that two days ago” said Maho.

“And so, you’ll do anything to shine together to make yourselves blessed and inspired through your wonderful hearts” said Tomoka.

“Yeah, we will!” said Toshiko, Riruka and Azumi.

Later, Mako would return to meet with the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta and the classmates of Toshiko and Riruka while bringing some foods and drinks, which contains a meat-flavored pizza and a bottle of 1.5 liters of Coca-Cola. “Here you go, guys! I brought some mid-afternoon snack!”

The members of the Bravehearts of Ōta and the classmates of Toshiko and Riruka have shouted together in unison as they have finally got their mid-afternoon snack to eat. “Alright!”

“Oh, pizza, my favorite!” said Hinata.

“I’m glad that you brought those!” said Airi.

“It’s so good!” said Masami.

“Wow! I’m feeling delighted that you gave us that pizza!” said Kagetsu.

“I can’t wait to eat those!” said Tsubaki.

“Yeah, me too!” said Hiiragi.

“This is going to be perfect to make this afternoon more blooming!” said Saki.

“Pizzas are the best!” said Mizuki.

“They’re so delicious!” said Kazuko.

“They’re freshly baked and good to go for everyone to eat!” said Sayaka.

“No doubt that I can eat any slice of those!” said Rena.

“Oh, I’m going to get one!” said Aya.

“Don’t forget that she brought some drinks too!” said Miyu.

“It will make us all refreshed and good to combine with pizza!” said Mimi.

“It’s going to be amazing that this afternoon treat will be great for all of us to make us feel good!” said Toshiko.

“I’m very comfortable that we have some pizza out here!” said Riruka.

“Hopefully, it will be so nice to eat those, so that we’re all good to go for the rest of the afternoon before the night” said Tomoka.

“I agree with that, cousin! I had been very confident that you’re all excited for tonight and so, you’ll be ready to make that event more blooming and more prospering to witness when the big feast and culminating event will take place later at 6:00 in the evening” said Mako.

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

“Guess what, Mako? We’re now part of the Ogawa-Maruyama Diamonds!” said Ayame.

“Yeah, Toshiko and Riruka have finally welcomed us to be part of that group!” said Shiki.

“It’s going to be awesome that we’ll be working together to bless and inspire everyone in our community!” said Tamako.

“We will do whatever it takes to make our blessings being prospered for us to be happy!” said Seiko.

“We’re finally got blessed, thanks to them, which means that we’ll be getting along with each other through our smiles!” said Yōko.

“So that, we’ll create our own future together!” said Asuka.

“That’s very awesome, girls! I knew that you could be part of them!” said Mako.

“Yeah!” said Ayame, Shiki, Tamako, Seiko, Yōko and Asuka.

“Everyone is a happy day for all of us while celebrating the final day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week. Isn’t that right, cousin?” said Mako.

“Yeah, I agree with that! There’s nothing more of a blooming afternoon to prosper everyone through our hearts and thrills!” said Tomoka.

“We’re very delighted that we have gotten along with each other to make sure that we’re all smiling without losing our auras” said Toshiko.

“It feels great that we’re having a beautiful day to show that we’re running through our auras, so that we’ll be able to bloom and prosper everyone in our community” said Riruka.

“Hopefully, we’ll continue to prosper everyone to make sure that we’re all prepared to gleam and shine for more” said Azumi.

“Yeah, of course!” said Mako before shouting to the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta and the classmates of Toshiko and Riruka. “Now, let’s enjoy some mid-afternoon snack, everyone!”

“Okay!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta and the classmates of Toshiko and Riruka as they’re starting to eat a slice of pizza together with their smiles being filled. Tomoka and her friends have finally found new friends in the classmates of Toshiko and Riruka as they have been delighted to see them being determined to represent for not only for Toshiko and Riruka, but for the rest of the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta because they want to inspire them with their own ways to shine. With the classmates of Toshiko and Riruka joining the Ogawa-Maruyama Diamonds, Tomoka and her friends are very blessed and uplifted that they’ll have more friends to be part of the Bravehearts of Ōta and hopefully, they’ll continue to welcome new members, so that they’ll let them shine and smile for sure.

They have been known for their pride and determination to prosper their community by helping everyone in their hometown, so that they’ll be able to bless them through their smiles. In a coincidence, they were also become friends with Ami Takai (I added her on this list as well!:D), a Nishina native and a classmate of Ruriko Hosoda of the Bravehearts of Minato, thus, they have considered her being part of their circle, even she had studied in Minato, but sometimes, invited her to their activities as well. They would later become new members of the Ogawa-Maruyama Diamonds, one of the mainstream groups of the Bravehearts of Ōta.

A Postscript Message from Tomoka Minato

Hi, everyone! This is Tomoka Minato and I would like to thank everyone for reading this update that made the Bravehearts of Ōta so proud. It’s been a while that this update is something special for me because as you all know, this one was not seen in Volume 8 as it only focused on the development of our braveheart group, but this one had taken place right after we met the Fuchsia and Blue Soul in Chapter 161. Me and my fellow members have enjoyed our day together on the final day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week ever since the morning where we battled against Keiko Kakuma and the Bravehearts of Minato and won. Then, we have met Katsuhito Taniguchi and the Fuchsia and Blue Soul where we gave them a task on finding the former members of the Dragons of Ōta, the group that I joined before. After that, we have a conversation with the classmates of Toshiko Horikawa and Riruka Maruyama. We were surprised that they have been allied with Toshiko and Riruka because they were their classmates in the same class in section 1-J, which means that they have found themselves in a brighter side that they have bravehearts on their side after all. It’s so nice that they have been cherished in representing for them for the first time, thus, they finally got their opportunity to join the Ogawa-Maruyama Diamonds. The Ogawa-Maruyama Diamonds have been formed a few days ago and they have decided to expand themselves in order to welcome new members while starting to explore their plans in forming their own extended group in the future. Toshiko and Riruka have been very expressive to their friends on side whether their classmates or not as they have found their blessing to represent for them and of course, they’ll always count on us like the way they used to be. On the other hand, we finally discovered about the Bravehearts of Minato when the classmates of Toshiko and Riruka told us that they have been friends with Ami Takai, a classmate of Ruriko Hosoda, one of its members from that said braveheart group, which means that our Bravehearts of Ōta have ended getting their own connection with them for the first time, but not as a major connection. Of course, the rule says that the two braveheart groups must be connected if one member of a braveheart group is connected to one member of another braveheart group as a relative, but if it’s for the connection circle, then, it would be counted, depends on the intensity level of connection between the two groups to bond with one another. There’s gonna be more secrets about our connection with the Bravehearts of Minato when we’re going to take a glimpse on those in the future, but hopefully, you’ll be ready to get surprised about this once the author will be writing about this very soon! Right after this one, the rest had taken place in Chapter 162 to end the Fuchsia and Celadon Week, thus, it began the Era of Fuchsia and Celadon. So, I hope that you enjoyed reading this update because this is something that the unseen encounters should have been included in the final day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week that aren’t included in the main arc of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts and I have to say that I’m cherished with that! I believe that the author will expect more encounters like this to come as the Red Section Series will continue to run with more updates to be posted twice a week and hopefully, you’ll be ready to see a lot of new characters to appear in this series before your very eyes! I’m sure that you’re very confident to be with me and my fellow friends from the Bravehearts of Ōta because the author said that this update had been dedicated to the seiyu that voiced me, Kana Hanazawa, which means that I’m so blessed that he had done it for me to make it possible. Thank you very much for your kind and support that you have blessed me and I hope that I will be happy to give you a smile that you’ll never forget! Anyway, I’ll see you next time for another update of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts and keep blessing and inspiring through your auras, everyone!
- Tomoka Minato (CV. Kana Hanazawa)

I hope that she’ll continue making progress of her voice acting career as she had been more determined to keep her pride and willpower to make sure that she’ll shine in her way with her smile for sure!;) Belated happy birthday, Kana!:) With tomorrow to end the month of February and making way for the month of March on March 1 (Tuesday), the birthday of Ayumu Uehara, the leader of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, the next update will be the start of the month of bloom and compassion as we’re going to witness Keiko Kakuma and her friends from the Bravehearts of Fukuoka meeting with the leading girls of the braveheart groups in Fukuoka Prefecture.

LATER TONIGHT: A Special Message from Shioriko Mifune

A Special Message from Shioriko Mifune

This is Shioriko Mifune of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and today (February 27) is the birthday of the seiyu that voiced me, Moeka Koizumi. That’s right, everyone! This is my special day for every fan of me as well as those who have inspired me to step up and shine for NijiGaku and I’m very happy that you’re all here to give Moeka a ‘Happy Birthday’ because she had been very determined to shine her voice acting and music career with her smile that you’ll never miss for sure! So, I hope that you’ll be ready to make me shine because I’ll be making an appearance for the second season of Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club in one month by April 2022! Now, for today, I’ll be sharing about my friends that are bravehearts in Minato and Kōtō featuring Aoi Ikemoto and my cousin Kaguya Sunakawa. Even I had been a member of NijiGaku, I have befriended some of the members of different braveheart groups before I joined NijiGaku during the storyline of Love Live! School Idol Festival All Stars. There were composed of Aoi Ikemoto, Shizuka Azuma and Asumi Hosaka of the Bravehearts of Takanawa and Kaguya Sunakawa and Yuriko Kawakami of the Bravehearts of Kōtō. For the Bravehearts of Takanawa, Aoi, Shizuka and Asumi are very strong and determined young girls that they have strived for better dreams as they have created their future to lead alongside their friends from that group. The first time that I met them was when Aoi had invited me to her birthday party last year. This was the part where I became more admired to her, Shizuka and Asumi when they have showed their determination to their fellow bravehearts through their rainbow hearts, especially that they had appreciated me with my casual attire. To make it more surprising, my mother was a co-worker with Aoi’s mother and aunt in a school idol production company, thus, I finally got an opportunity to make friends with the trio because they have been admired by their compassion, which we used to get along with each other for a weekend hangout. We brought some fascinating clothes that are cute and prestigious as well as elegant stockings to fit my personality of being a straight school idol. One thing that you’ll find it coincidental is that both Aoi and Shizuka have worked in the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary School Student Association as members of the public relations group due to their interests in speaking with the community through pep talks and advices. I’m very determined that I have been friends with Aoi, Shizuka and Asumi because they have made the difference to stay compassionated and innocent through their rainbow hearts as they’ll promise themselves to make their hometown bloomed. On the other hand, I had been the cousin of Kaguya Sunakawa, who had an ambition of not only becoming a basketball player, but an organizer just like Kotoko Hachiuma. She was more determined to put her confidence for everyone on her side when she had stepped up for the Bravehearts of Kōtō, thus, she is ready to make opportunities to shine in her way. Also, I had become friends with Yuriko Kawakami, who had recently joined the Bravehearts of Kōtō as one of the new members of the Funahashi Elementary School girls’ basketball team, who had appointed her as a junior captain. Yuriko had been a hard-working student when it comes to her academics as she’s aiming to become an honor student, so that she’ll be able to gain her reputation of being one of the best students in her class. Yuriko had been entrusted by Koharu Yagami, who had impressed her during the tryout and had been responsible for recruiting her to the Bravehearts of Kōtō. The first time that I have met with Yuriko was when I was invited to attend the welcoming of the new members last May 3 (Monday) where she was joined by her fellow classmates that joined the Funahashi Elementary School boys’ and girls’ basketball team. It was a good time for me to meet Yuriko because she had been very confident to commit herself to be part of the Bravehearts of Kōtō and thus, she’s ready to show her pride and compassion that she can stand up and shine like me and my cousin Kaguya did! For our interests, I have separated hobbies when I’m getting along with both Kaguya and Yuriko as I used to drop by to meet with Kaguya where we gotten along with each other to play video games and eat hamburgers before we would be joined by Yuriko recently while when I was with Yuriko in our first get along, we bought some plush toys that are so cute because it’s Yuriko’s typical personality of being petite and straight. I’m very satisfied with my friends that I have because they’re very confident and serious to show their pride, compassion and willpower to make themselves comfortable through their rainbow hearts. I hope that you enjoyed reading this postscript message because it’s so nice that the author had given me the opportunity to make this special message possible and so, I’m very proud of him with the bottom of my heart. By the way, my fellow club member Ayumu Uehara will be sharing about the connection circle of her cousins Mio and Maika Kayama on March 2 (Wednesday), the day after her birthday, which is on March 1 (Tuesday), and I hope that you’ll be ready to give her a smile, so that she’ll be thrilled to bloom for you for sure! Like I said from the beginning, you have to watch out for me because when the second of Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club is coming in one month, you’re all here to shout and cheer for me and make me and my fellow NijiGaku members proud with your thrills to make! Thank you very much for those who greeted Moeka a ‘Happy Birthday’ and let’s make this happen to show some pride and determination to make me thrilled! Until then, I’ll see you next time when we’ll meet each other again and stay compassionated and innocent with your rainbow heart, everyone!

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES
CHAPTER 120: “KEIKO’S SPECIAL DAY WITH HER FELLOW BRAVEHEARTS

Date: May 8, 2010 (Saturday)

This side story is focused on the Bravehearts of Fukuoka as they’re going to celebrate Keiko’s special day during the afternoon of the final day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week.

The female members of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka are walking together on their way to the Recreational Center after they finished meeting with the members of the Fuchsia and Blue Soul. They’re having a conversation about what to do next during their wonderful afternoon of the final day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week.

Bravehearts of Fukuoka: Keiko Kakuma, Miho Kumada, Hisako Uehara, Sana Kushibiki, Miwako Tanaka, Mika Nakano, Toyoko Satō, Hatsuko Imanishi, Kaoru Okano, Yō Kurihara, Kanako Kawahara, Rieko Haranaka, Nao Yatsugi, Mieko Tomizuki, Reina Suginami, Ayaka Kamimura, Kanon Mitsurugi, Nanami Hashiguchi and Hisaya Morimoto

“I have to believe that those guys from the Fuchsia and Blue Soul will get this job done if they’ll be able to make it to find the former members of the Dragons of Ōta before reaching sunset” said Miho.

“They have to work on their chemistry if they want to accomplish their search for themselves” said Hisako.

“That way, they’ll be able to make them comfortable that they’ll convince them to support the revival of the Dragons of Ōta” said Sana.

“They know about that former group even some of them didn’t familiar about that, but I’m sure that they’re going to do their best in finding those guys” said Miwako.

“Yeah, I believe so, girls. Katsuhito and his guys are very good in finding those guys that they don’t want to miss and I have to say that they should be very confident to find them all to make sure that they’re going to make them feel delighted and uplifted that they have found them, so that they’ll do whatever it takes to let them support the revival of their former group” said Keiko.

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

“I’m sure that they’ll be motivated to work it out because they have worked very well to increase their team chemistry” said Mika.

“Which is very important for every group to maintain that one” said Toyoko.

“If they can able to work together without losing their auras, they’ll be able to improve their team chemistry just like how we did for most of the time” said Hatsuko.

“It’s going to be amazing if they’ll be doing their best to find those former members and convince them to support the revival of their former group” said Kaoru Okano.

“Which means that it will make the search more progressing with more former members being found” said Yō.

“Yeah, for sure!” said Keiko while giving Mika, Toyoko, Hatsuko, Kaoru and Yō a smile.

“So, Keiko-san, why are you looked happy right now?” asked Kanako.

“I’m very curious about this” said Rieko.

“Yeah, me either” said Nao.

“Well, as you can see, today is a special day for me as today is the first anniversary of the formation of the Five Young Queens of Fukuoka” said Keiko.

“Whoa!” surprisingly shouted the members of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka.

“No way!” exclaimed Mieko.

“Is this happening?!” reacted Reina.

“Are you serious?!” added Ayaka.

“Wow! I can’t believe it!” shouted Kanon.

“I didn’t know that today is a special day for you!” exclaimed Nanami.

“Sounds like this celebration might be all about you that you and your friends from different braveheart groups will gather around for just a day” said Hisaya.

“I’m so surprised that you had a group that you formed last year!” said Kanako.

“It seems that you and your friends are having a special formation that you used to” said Rieko.

“Which means that you’re seemed to be more expressive about that one” said Nao.

“Yep! Me, Satomi, Maiko, Yuno and Sumiko have formed a special circle group together known as the Five Young Queens of Fukuoka as we’re the representing the leading girls of the braveheart groups in Fukuoka. We talked about this last night where we’re going to celebrate that encounter today to commemorate this. Hopefully, you’re all excited see something that you will gleam later on when those girls are going to be here to get along with us” said Keiko.

“I’m sure that it’s going to be a special day for you and your friends to celebrate because you have worked together to maintain your friendship” said Miho Kumada.

“Just like we have developed a great friendship with the Bravehearts of Ōta earlier” said Hisako.

“It’s going to be awesome that they’re going to get along with us for a while before the sunset because that celebration will not last long due to the final events of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week” said Sana.

“Maybe, you can invite them to our feast later on if they want to indulge with us” said Miwako.

“Well, I’m not sure if I can invite them, but they have their own groups to get along with. So, they’re probably not gonna be with us as it was started in a rule that one member must stay with one group that he/she belonged to” said Keiko.

“Oh, we understand about that, Keiko-san” said the members of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka while shaking their heads in disagreement.

“It’s a shame that they should have come with us if they want to be with you for the rest of the night” said Mika.

“But that rule will not allow them to be with us because they have to stay with their fellow members though” said Toyoko.

“I guess that we will only stick to us while celebrating the big feast later tonight” said Hatsuko.

“However, we might gonna ask Tomoka if we can give them a table for them because they’re connected to you, Keiko” said Kaoru Okano.

“That way, they’ll be allowed to get near to you and easily start a conversation while the big feast and culminating party are ongoing together” said Yō.

“That’s a good idea, Yō-san! I will gladly ask Tomoka-san about this, so that you’ll be delighted to meet them later tonight. What do you think?” said Keiko.

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

“Okay, then, let’s talk to her before parting ways, so that we’re going to celebrate my special day!” said Keiko.

“Okay!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka.

The members of the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka would reach the central park before stopping by at the entrance of the booth section where Keiko is asking Tomoka a favor.

“Uh… could you give me a favor?” asked Keiko.

“Yeah, sure. What do you want?” replied Tomoka.

“I think that my friends from the Five Young Queens of Fukuoka will be happy to occupy a table for the big feast while our group and the other braveheart groups in Fukuoka Prefecture will deserve to have it as well, so that we don’t have to worry about finding the spot to occupy for later. Can you reserve a table for them?” said Keiko.

“Oh, sure, I would be glad to! I’ll reserve the table for them right away before the big feast is started” said Tomoka.

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

“We’ll be meeting with each other later, Tomoka-san! We have to celebrate our own day to indulge with!” said Keiko.

“That’s right, Keiko-chan! We’ll be having a mid-afternoon break where we’ll be celebrating Keiko’s special day with her friends on her side” said Mika.

“But we still have more time to get along with during the culminating event” said Miho Kumada.

“So, we should be ready to prepare for the big feast where all foods will be coming out to eat and drink” said Hisako.

“Then, it’s going to be our great opportunity to enjoy the night together” said Sana.

“Where we’ll be ready to make our moments to shine for sure!” said Miwako.

“Okay! We’ll be meeting with you again later!” said Tomoka.

“Okay, we will!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka as they’ll be parting ways with the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta to walk through the Golden Sun Restaurant where they’re going to take their mid-afternoon break.

“Here we go! This is going to be big for us since today’s is a special day for me and my fellow friends from the other braveheart groups in Fukuoka!” said Keiko before she and her fellow groupmates occupying a table for 16-20 people.

“Yes, we are!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka, who were all excited about the first anniversary of the formation of the Five Young Queens of Fukuoka.

“Then, we’ll have to wait for Satomi and my other friends to come before we’ll get this celebration started!” said Keiko.

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

Five minutes later, Satomi Akimoto, Maiko Takayama, Yuno Furukawa and Sumiko Miyasaka would appear together to meet with the members of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka as they would be joined by the leading girls from various braveheart groups in Fukuoka Prefecture, composed of Sakuya Tomiyama (Bravehearts of Kitakyushu), Arisa Niijima (Bravehearts of Yahata), Rina Matsukawa (Bravehearts of Moji), Sora Ichihashi (Bravehearts of Tobata), Kaoru Sekigawa (Bravehearts of Wakamatsu), Atsuko Tokuda (Bravehearts of Nakama) and Miori Fukutomi (Bravehearts of Kurume).

“Hi, Keiko-san! We’re finally here!” said Satomi.

“Hi, Keiko-san!” said Maiko, Yuno and Sumiko while Sakuya, Arisa, Rina, Sora, Kaoru, Atsuko and Miori wave their hands to say ‘hi’ to Keiko and her fellow groupmates.

“Oh, finally, I’m so happy that you’re all here, especially that you brought these guests right here!” said Keiko.

“Yep!” said Satomi, Maiko, Yuno and Sumiko.

“These girls wanted to be part of our celebration because they haven’t seen us before back when we’re in Fukuoka, but it would be better if they’ll be indulging with us for sure!” said Satomi.

“It will be great that they’ll be here to enjoy our day as they want to gleam us without losing their smiles” said Maiko.

“They’ll be thrilled to make us feel good while having a short vacation in Tokyo” said Yuno.

“So, it’s going to be fantastic that they’ll be ready to make friends with us, so that they’ll start getting closer to us like the way the bravehearts used to” said Sumiko.

“You’re right about that, girls! I’m so surprised that you’re here because we thought that you’re supposed to watch the finals at the Recreational Center, which will take place earlier, but thank goodness, that you’re staying with your friends in your side” said Sakuya Tomiyama, a first year middle school student from the Kokurasaki Gakuen Middle School and the leading girl of the Bravehearts of Kitakyushu. Sakuya is also the leader of the Kitakyushu Nadeshiko Smile, a group of leading girls that are coming out from the city of Kitakyushu and its allies.

“Yeah, Sakuya-san! I was getting busy with my fellow groupmates where we met some familiar faces from the Fuchsia and Blue Soul, which some of their members were formerly coming from our hometown” said Keiko.

“Ah, I see! I’m so glad that they have met them to make sure that they’re not going to miss you all along” said Sakuya.

“Yep!” said Keiko.

“By the way, looks like our friends are going to battle against your friends in the tournament final of the Ōta Blue Wind Cup” said Sakuya.

“Oh, wow! I didn’t know about this, Sakuya-san!” replied Keiko.

“You mean, the Blue Verdant Fukuoka and the Rutile Phoenix are going to square off for the title?” queried Mika.

“Yeah, you’re right about that! My friend Hidemitsu Oniki and his fellow teammates have made it to the tournament final that will take place at 4:00 in the afternoon at the Recreational Center” said Sakuya.

“It would be awesome if you’ll watch that match later on, so that you’re gonna cheer for your friend and his team” said Arisa Niijima, a first year middle school student from the Kurotochigaoka Middle School and the leading girl of the Bravehearts of Yahata.

“That way, you’ll be able to see the dazzling and blazing moments between the two teams that they have made it to the championship game” said Rina Matsukawa, a first year middle school student from the Ōsatozuma Middle School and the leading girl of the Bravehearts of Moji.

“Well, I would be glad to watch that game, girls, but as you can see, we’re starting the celebration when me and my fellow friends will be celebrating the first anniversary of the formation of the Five Young Queens of Fukuoka. As a result, we might gonna watch the game later if there’s something intense between them” said Keiko.

“Oh, okay, that’s fine with me” said Sakuya.

“Yeah, me too!” said Arisa.

“Well, I’m alright with that, girl” said Rina.

“Then, how about this? We will watch later after your celebration ends” said Sakuya.

“Sure, I would be glad to, Sakuya-san!” said Keiko.

“Now that we’re all present, girls, let’s start this celebration!” said Satomi.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka and the leading girls of different braveheart groups in Fukuoka.

The members of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka and the leading girls of different braveheart groups in Fukuoka would order some tonkatsu and green tea for their mid-afternoon snack.

Once the waiters have prepared the tonkatsu and green tea to them, members of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka and the leading girls of different braveheart groups in Fukuoka would finally start eating together happily.

“Oh, it’s so delicious!” said Keiko.

“I’m loving it!” said Satomi.

“This is so good!” said Maiko.

“Wow! I can’t believe that it tasted good!” said Yuno.

“I’m feeling grateful that I have ate this one!” said Sumiko.

“Yeah, me too! I’m so blessed to eat this!” said Sakuya.

“I love tonkatsu, which is way better than just a ramen!” said Atsuko Tokuda, a first year middle school student from the Nakama Gakuen Middle School and the leading girl of the Bravehearts of Nakama.

“I have to say that these tonkatsu are freshly grilled and good to eat!” said Miori Fukutomi, a first year middle school student from the Kurume Gakuen Middle School and the leading girl of the Bravehearts of Kurume.

“It’s so nice to eat this food like we used to get along with each other in Fukuoka” said Arisa.

“I have to say that they’re good enough to serve good food like those” said Rina.

“It made us feel uplifted and joyful that we will eat those with the smiles that we need” said Sora Ichihashi, a first year middle school student from the Tobata Hazuki Middle School and the leading girl of the Bravehearts of Tobata.

“Hopefully, we’ll be delighted to eat those if we want to be good to go to continue some wonderful days for our day to be brighter. Right, guys?” said Kaoru Sekigawa, a first year middle school student from the Kazenobara Gakuen Middle School and the leading girl of the Bravehearts of Wakamatsu.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka and the leading girls of different braveheart groups in Fukuoka.

“Now that we have finished our food, we can talk about our future activities that will be planning to work on” said Keiko.

“That way, we’ll be able to organize those in the future, probably by next month or during the summer break” said Satomi.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka and the leading girls of different braveheart groups in Fukuoka.

“So, first of all, in preparing for the upcoming middle school prefectural tournament by July, we’re going to organize a leader’s summit where all leading girls of the braveheart groups in Fukuoka Prefecture including the cities of Fukuoka and Kitakyushu will be gathered together to discuss the plans for that tournament where we want to make progress in trying to rise ourselves as bravehearts” said Keiko.

“Ever since last year where everyone had been able to make our moves to make sure that we’re rallying our way to victories all over the place” said Satomi.

“The big part is that most of us have advanced to the prefectural tournament last winter where we have been doing our great job in showing our firepower to prove that we’re here to dazzle and shine” said Maiko.

“Hopefully, this year, we’ll be able to keep it up to make sure that all of us will be on the move to rally together for the victory” said Yuna.

“It will be amazing that the women’s basketball in Fukuoka Prefecture had been dominant due to the rise of young superstars ready to be on the move to shine, especially that Masayo Hirayama and her fellow friends have already shined their way to take care of the court since their younger days” said Sumiko.

“Oh, that’s very nice! I’m going to be more confident that women’s basketball in Fukuoka Prefecture had continued to flourish themselves to make sure that they’ll make the female youngsters proving the ground like they’re here to get balling” said Sakuya.

“We’re very determined to show our firepower to make sure that we’re going to prove ourselves that we’re good in stopping our opponents with our own auras to give” said Arisa.

“Just like the counterparts, we’re very good in handling our business to rally because this is what we do to engage ourselves in seizing the game” said Rina.

“We’ll be more confident to make us formidable in taking over the court as we always bring some firepower to shine our way” said Sora.

“If we want to be like Masayo and her allies, then we’re going to do our best to step up and shine with our moves to groove” said Kaoru Sekigawa.

“Everyone will be ready to recognize our names because we’re all balling around like we’re aiming for the spotlight” said Atsuko.

“We’re going to become superstars in the future if we keep this up until reaching college” said Miori.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Keiko, Satomi, Maiko, Yuna and Sumiko.

“I’m sure that you girls are all excited about the leader’s summit where everyone will gather around to meet with each other and hopefully, we’ll be expecting to prepare ourselves to start working on our plans to make this year’s prefectural tournament ready to go on fire” said Keiko.

“It’s going to be on a different level since we have proved ourselves last year, thanks to most of us getting consistent and formidable” said Satomi.

“But we should be more prepared to make the statement if we want to keep us getting stronger” said Maiko.

“Because that’s what we do to show that we’re running together as bravehearts” said Yuna.

“You’ll be ready to shine yourselves with your smile to groove your way when you’re aiming for the spotlight. We’ll always make the difference to show that we’re here to bless and inspire everyone” said Sumiko.

“Yeah!” said Sakuya, Arisa, Rina, Sora, Kaoru, Atsuko and Miori.

“The next plan that we’re going to organize is going to be the maid café collaboration activity” said Satomi.

“Which this event was planned by Keiko herself” said Maiko.

“She had been very interested in maid clothes because she wanted to be more petite and more admired when it comes to giving some foods to her friends on her side” said Yuna.

“She’ll always be determined to show her smile everyone as she’s better to be kind and admired” said Sumiko.

“Yeah, that’s true, girls. I had been very prestigious and admired to make everyone more comfortable because I’m very friendly to them. It feels great that being a member of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka made me prospered to bless and inspire everyone to make sure that they’ll give me the smile that I need” said Keiko.

“That’s my Keiko-san! She’s feeling grateful that she’s ready to make everyone comfortable with her desire” said Miho.

“She always gives desires everyone, so that they’ll be able to show their smiles to her” said Hisako.

“That’s why she’s the leading girl of our braveheart group, the Bravehearts of Fukuoka” said Sana.

“As she’s more determined to prosper everyone on her side without losing her own aura to gleam them with a smile” said Miwako.

“It will be amazing for you to show your smiles to Keiko, so that you’ll make her happy because she’ll always doing her best to shine anything that is good to make it brighter” said Mika.

“We always trusted her as a compassionated girl with a wonderful heart” said Toyoko.

“She will never give up on us when she’s fighting for us!” said Hatsuko.

“Every time she makes her move, she will always dazzle in her own way” said Kaoru Okano.

“Whenever she’s leading for our group, she always goes first to gleam something fantastic” said Yō.

“The more that she sees something fantastic to fascinate, the better that she’ll make her way to shine like she did in helping our community to grow with blessings” said Kanako.

“Everyone in the Bravehearts of Fukuoka is ready for Keiko to groove and shine with their auras coming out to make her stronger” said Rieko.

“Hopefully, we’ll be able to keep it up to show that we’re here to motivate with her” said Nao.

“You’ll be indulged enough to make her comfortable because she’ll be here for you to be blessed and inspired” said Mieko.

“Yeah!” said the leading girls of different braveheart groups in Fukuoka Prefecture.

“I’m so excited about that idea, Keiko-san!” said Sakuya.

“Yeah, maid cafés are so cute and daring that everyone wants to enjoy themselves with their smiles being made all the time” said Arisa.

“I have to say that we want to see how gleaming you’re going to make that café that you’ll be building because we want to see something sparkling and gleaming” said Rina.

“My friends and I have done that last year in my school’s school festival, which was so cool that a lot of students have liked our designs that we did because they found it dazzling and more beautiful” said Sora.

“Maid cafés are very popular in school festivals whenever they wanted to make them stylish and cute to make sure that students will be indulged themselves to enjoy” said Kaoru Sekigawa.

“I believe that you’re ready to make it something that everyone will be ready to fascinate themselves because you’re very good in making creative stuff that amazes everyone in your hometown” said Atsuko.

“Hopefully, you’ll be surprising us when your progress is done, so that your maid café is good to go!” said Miori.

“Yes, I will! I have so many plans for this with the help of my friends and it’s going to take a month to work on this, but I’m sure that you’re all excited for this. So, you’ll see how it will be looked when it’s done” said Keiko.

“Yeah!” said Sakuya, Arisa, Rina, Sora, Kaoru, Atsuko and Miori.

“I have a question, Keiko-san. What are you going to bring for your maid café?” said Sakuya.

“To be honest, I want to create some smoothies and iced cold cappuccino because these are my favorites for desserts and if I want to do something creative, then I can make those whatever I want. Also, my friends will also have their own desserts to make with” said Keiko.

“That’s right, Keiko-san! Most of us are falling in love with desserts, but we can make flavored cookies and cupcakes, depends on the stock of the ingredients” said Miho.

“It’s going to be special if we want to fascinate those to make everyone feeling motivated to eat those” said Hisako.

“We should be more prepared to make those if we want the maid café to be blooming” said Sana.

“So that, we’ll be able to give everyone some blessings that they want to gleam with” said Miwako.

“Right now, we don’t know where it will take place, but we already made the schedule, which will take place right after the mid-examination week and the sports festival” said Maiko.

“Supposedly, we’re going to hold that event on June 6 (Sunday), but unfortunately, the Bravehearts of Fukuoka have already booked their trip to Tokyo for Maiko Hisayama’s birthday” said Yuna.

“Which means that we decided to schedule that event to earlier than June 6 (Sunday), so that we’re going to have so much fun to relax and enjoy ourselves to cap off the month of May” said Sumiko.

“Yep! My friends and I will be leaving Fukuoka to meet with the Bravehearts of Ōta again” said Keiko.

“But this time, it’s going to be for the birthday celebration of Maiko, a good friend of Sana and Ryōtarō” said Miho.

“As she’s aiming to become a successful idol” said Toyoko.

“Just like the biggest names from THE IDOLM@STER” said Hatsuko.

“It will be awesome that the idol presence in Fukuoka Prefecture had been less popular to say the least” said Kaoru Okano.

“But hopefully, we’ll have a lot of young idols ready to shine their way for sure!” said Yō.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the leading girls of different braveheart groups in Fukuoka Prefecture.

“I believe that this one should happen if there will be more idols ready to shine their way with their smiles” said Sakuya.

“The idol presence in Fukuoka Prefecture is not much great, compared to different prefectures around the country, because they only produced idols from the two biggest cities” said Arisa.

“Which are Fukuoka and Kitakyushu” said Rina.

“Even these cities are urbanized for a long time, they have less produced when it comes to idols” said Sora.

“Despite that we already have HKT48” said Kaoru Sekigawa.

“Hopefully, our home prefecture will be ready to produce more, so that they’ll be able to shine themselves with their smiles that they will never lose” said Atsuko.

“As soon as we want to make the difference to do like they have used to” said Nanami.

“We should do the same thing, so that we’ll be able to make progress in making our community growing with blessings for sure. Isn’t that right, girls?” said Hisaya.

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

“Hopefully, you’re all set to create our own future, so that we’ll be able to prosper our community with more blessings and inspirations that everyone will get” said Keiko.

“Yeah, we will!” said the leading girls of different braveheart groups in Fukuoka Prefecture.

“The other activities that will be planned to commence very soon are first will be a shopping day where we’ll be buying some stuff together in Hakata” said Satomi.

“This is the part where we’re going to buy some clothes for themed activities when we’ll be getting along with each other in occasional time” said Maiko.

“Every month, we’ll be wearing some themed attires that will be used, so that we’ll be able to make me feel comfortable to improve your fashion looks, which we wanted to develop on that since we’re on the same group” said Yuna.

“Not only with that, the other one is that we’ll be going to plan on having a short vacation after finishing our first term, but we have to do this before the prefectural tournament, which will be held at the start of the summer break” said Sumiko.

“A short vacation will be great for us to relax ourselves, which will allow us to make us feel good that we’re all refreshed before a big competition is coming out” said Keiko.

“That’s a good idea, girls! I think that we need to reflect ourselves to take a short vacation before the tournament will start because it will be perfect that we’re all energized and good to go with our bodies being regenerated again” said Sakuya.

“The prefectural tournament will start on July 19 (Monday) in various venues around Fukuoka Prefecture and of course, this is the part where the action and thrills being made to see who proves to be the best team in Fukuoka Prefecture” said Arisa.

“This will be served as the qualification for the Middle School National Basketball Tournament, which will take place in three months from now” said Rina.

“So, in order to be prepared for that tournament, we should all be good to work together to make sure that we’ll be able to get it done by rallying through dominance and firepower” said Sora.

“It will be awesome that we’re all in for that tournament, but we should work it out on our tendencies and skills if we want to be on the move at all” said Kaoru Sekigawa.

“As soon as we’re going to do this for our community to shine, we should do it for everyone!” said Atsuko.

“We’ll do our best to show some moves to shine, so that we’re all here to dazzle and shine through our auras” said Miori.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka and the leading girls of different braveheart groups in Fukuoka Prefecture.

“For the themed attires, we should start planning on what to wear for the month of May when we’ll be meeting with each other again” said Keiko.

“That’s right, Keiko-san! One of it will be the upcoming birthday celebrations of Maiko Takayama and Takahiro Natsukawa” said Satomi.

“Maiko’s birthday is going to be next week” said Yuna.

“While Takahiro’s birthday will be on May 20 (Thursday), which will be 12 days from now” said Sumiko.

“Oh, that’s good! Since it’s almost my birthday, which will be on May 15 (Saturday), my idea for this is that we should wear some warm-colored clothes that the colors are cream and orange” said Maiko.

“Ah! I think that those colors were used for the Bravehearts of Minami Fukuoka!” said Sakuya.

“It will be amazing to wear clothes that are qualified to those colors if you found any cloth that is warm enough” said Arisa.

“That way, we’re going to make it stylish for all of us to gleam with!” said Rina.

“Of course, we will, girls! I want to use those colors for the designs of my upcoming birthday party, which will take place at my home in the ward of Minami. Tōru said that he wanted to make my birthday party more colorful, which means that anyone in my group must contribute to make designs that are blooming and harmonious. Also, my friends from the Orange Flower Desire, co-led by Ayako Imaizumi and Akiho Sumiyoshi, will also be contributing for my birthday party, so that they’ll be managing the invitations and catering. Hopefully, I’ll be giving you some invitation cards, so that you’ll be invited to my birthday party. What do you think?” said Maiko.

“Of course, we will be happy to come to your party!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka and the leading girls of different braveheart groups in Fukuoka Prefecture.

“Well, to be honest, I would only reserve to my closet friends, but I’ll be obliged to invite you all, so that we’ll be able to make my birthday party the best that I’ll ever have because I’m almost turning 13!” said Maiko.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka and the leading girls of different braveheart groups in Fukuoka Prefecture.

“I’m so excited about this, Keiko-chan! Maiko is very determined to make us happy that she’ll be inviting us to her birthday party!” said Sana.

“I have to say that she’s going to make her birthday party more blooming and harmonious because she can do anything to make herself thrilled!” said Miwako.

“We should be ready to visit her home if we want to have some fun getting along with her and her friends from the Bravehearts of Minami Fukuoka” said Hisako.

“That way, we’re going to enjoy ourselves to make Maiko very happy and blessed for sure!” said Miho.

“Yeah, you’re right about that, girls! We should be more motivated to attend her birthday party if we don’t have any conflicts with the other activities that we have. Hopefully, we should finish our own priorities before we’re all going to visit Maiko’s home” said Keiko.

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

“That concludes this short meeting, girls! Also, it’s almost time to go out and head into the Recreational Center for the tournament final of the Ōta Blue Wind Cup” said Satomi.

“Yep! It says that the game will start with both teams ready to show their firepower against each other” said Sakuya.

“Hopefully, you should be hyped to see this!” said Maiko.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka and the leading girls of different braveheart groups in Fukuoka Prefecture.

“That’s great, girls! I’m so happy that you’re excited for this!” said Yuna.

“It feels so nice that we’re all refreshed and I can’t to see how it goes for both Kazuhiro and Hidemitsu!” said Sumiko.

“Yeah, Sumiko-san! We should witness everything in that game to make sure that we’ll be able to see who the best player is” said Keiko.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Satomi, Maiko, Yuna, Sumiko and Sakuya while the members of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka and the leading girls of different braveheart groups in Fukuoka Prefecture have nodded their heads in agreement without saying a word.

“Now, let’s leave the Golden Sun Restaurant together, so that we’ll be going to the Recreational Center to watch that thrilling game!” said Keiko.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka and the leading girls of different braveheart groups in Fukuoka Prefecture as they’re now leaving the Golden Sun Restaurant together, so that they’ll be able to watch the tournament final of the Ōta Blue Wind Cup between the Blue Verdant Fukuoka and the Rutile Phoenix while sharing their smiles with each other to keep their day more blooming and harmonious. Keiko and her fellow friends from the Bravehearts of Fukuoka are enjoying their day with the leading girls of different braveheart groups in Fukuoka Prefecture including Satomi, Maiko, Yuna and Sumiko to celebrate the first anniversary of the Five Young Queens of Fukuoka, who have been dazzling themselves like they’re about to become future superstars in the future. Keiko had been able to indulge everyone as they continued to develop their friendship through cherish and compassion, thus they have been able to become close with each other a year. Hopefully, they’ll continue to dazzle themselves to make sure that they’re ready to create their future, which they’ll fulfill their dreams of becoming superstars in the future.

UP NEXT: Profile of the Leading Girls of the Braveheart Groups in Fukuoka Prefecture

As the second season of Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club will start in one month by April 2022, there will be some themes that are corresponding to a group of chapters through the personalities of different members of NijiGaku.

They have been very special with each other because not only that they have showed their way to bloom, gleam and shine, but they’ll be able to create their future through their hopes and dreams that they have. It will be amazing for them to keep prospering their community to make sure that they’ll be able to bless them as they’ll continue to show their pride, compassion and willpower to make themselves admired and thrilled. The Bravehearts of Fukuoka have been very supportive to Keiko’s plans, which means that they’ll be coming out to help Keiko to make sure that her plans will be fulfilled when they’ll assemble themselves to make it successful for sure!;) Hopefully, the Bravehearts of Fukuoka will be ready to get along with the other leading girls of different braveheart groups in Fukuoka Prefecture in the future once they’ll meet again to bloom, gleam and shine with their smiles.:) Now, the next update will be heading back to the city of Nagoya as this time, it will be focused on Yūmi Takasaki, who is not confused with Yu Takasaki of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club from Love Live!

LATER TONIGHT: A Special Message from Ayumu Uehara

A Special Message from Ayumu Uehara

Hi, everyone! This is Ayumu Uehara of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and I’m here to share about the connection circle of my cousins Mio and Maika Kayama. You already known about the connection circles of my other cousins Shinako Takanashi and Azusa Uehara back six and a half months ago when I kicked off the sharing of the connection circles of the members of the Bravehearts of Minato, thus, it’s going to be amazing to witness another sharing of mine that is more blooming and more thrilling! Now before I’ll share this, I’ll explain everything about how the connection circle works. 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. Our fellow club members have shared the connection circles of some members of the Bravehearts of Minato, but there are more members that haven’t shared yet and so, this one will be more special because not only that it’s going to kick off the month of March, but it will be for my belated birthday celebration, which was yesterday (March 1). I hope that you like it because you’re gonna bloom and gleam to see this! For the connection circle of Mio and Maika, they have been connected to the Bridge of Sakura and Persimmon, composed of their friends on their side with their members have second year middle school students from the Hanzōsen Middle School, but they also have third year middle school students that befriended both Mio and Maika due to their admiration on their ambitions of making dreams to everyone. The leader of the Bridge of Sakura and Persimmon is Yukina Sarashina, who had a desire of getting closer to the Bravehearts of Minato due to their friendship with Mio and Maika ever since their elementary school days. They have been interested in outside the school activities as well as sharing their dollhouse activity with Chiaki Takanashi, my cousin, and listening to the music. One time, they visited the Hanagata Residence to meet with me where I was surprised that they were interested in milkshakes, which is one of my favorite drinks when I was in middle school with Yu. It’s so nice that we have a bond of getting along with each other and I like the way Mio and Maika showed their determination to make themselves thrilled, which I’m happy for them! On the other hand, when it comes to their allies, they became friends with Saori Omura, a schoolmate of mine who had been interested in working in a music agency one day and the leader of the Rose Legion Odaiba, because they were interested in writing songs and handling the sound system for idol events in Odaiba. One thing that you find it coincidental is that Maiko and Saori have their dream of assembling the Tokimeki Research Department Club, an organization that is intended to do decision making in hoping for a brighter future to witness in Odaiba. Of course, both Mio and Saori were in the same class and same course, which is the general course, thus, I used to meet them on how they’re doing on their own project. Maika told me that she wanted to be good in making decisions to prosper her community as she wanted to use it for the Bravehearts of Minato due to Shinako’s plan of building a department for people that have created thrills to shine themselves. I’m surprised that she and Saori have worked together on this because not only that it will help their dream to work for the Bravehearts of Minato, but it will be benefited for the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club to collaborate with Saori and her fellow friends from the Rose Legion Odaiba in the future. I can’t wait to see who they’ll develop when they’re going to build their dreams to bloom and prosper everyone in our school, which I’ll watch out for that for sure! It’s so nice that Mio and Maika have their own set of friends to get along with and I’m very happy that they have made them thrilled, so that they’ll be able to show their smiles to them through admiration and kindness that they showed for sure! I hope that you enjoyed reading this postscript message because both Mio and Maika have the same goal as my other cousins Shinako and Azusa and so, they’ll have to keep their thrills coming to make sure that they’re here to bloom for you! Anyway, the next connection circle that our school idol club will be sharing is going to be for Junsei Fukuhara, which will be all explained by Rina Tennōji, and it will be posted on March 16 (Wednesday), which will be two weeks away from now. Of course, you will have to wait for the next postscript message to be posted on that day, so that you will be able to see it when it’s now coming out! It’s so nice that you have cheered for me on my birthday yesterday, which is very nice to see me blooming like I’m representing for NijiGaku, and it made me feel delighted that you have motivated me and my fellow groupmates from the bottom of your hearts. Thank you very much for those who greeted me a ‘Happy Birthday’ on my birthday and hopefully, you’ll continue to keep it up, so that I’ll be giving you a beautiful smile as I’m always here to shout and cheer for you! Until then, I’ll see you next time for another side chapter that will feature me and my fellow club members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and keep making your dreams come true, everyone!

Last March 4 (Friday), it was a double birthday celebration as they were Hanamaru Kunikida (Love Live! Sunshine!!) and Sasame Mitsukuri (Ongaku Shoujo). A first year high school student Hanamaru is a member of Aqours and a local choir and an avid reader of the library of the Uranohoshi Girls’ High School. She and her family had run a local temple without several modern-age utilities, which results to her becoming enamored upon seeing them, much to the surprise of others. She was nicknamed ‘Zumamaru’ by Yoshiko Tsushima (CV: Aika Kobayashi), who was her childhood friend back in their kindergarten days, and had ended many of her sentences with “-zura” because of her Shizuoka dialect. She is also a member of the sub-group AZALEA, composed of her, Kanan Matsuura (CV: Nanaka Suwa) and Dia Kurosawa (CV: Arisa Komiya). On the other hand, a second year middle school student Sasame is a cute girl from Ōmi, Shiga (now Ōtsu, Shiga), who likes to be with her fellow idol girls and sporting hair buns on both sides. Hanamaru is voiced by Kanako Takatsuki, who’s also a member of BlooDye with Carin Isobe, and Sasame is voiced by Karin Takahashi, who's also a member of Hitotsuyanagi-tai as the voice actress of Miliam Hidegard von Guropius from Assault Lily. Belated happy birthday, Hinata, Hanamaru and Sasame!:) Now, it’s a thrilling day for everyone because this update will be dedicated to Hinaki Yano, Mirai Tachibana and Hikaru Tono (March 5) and Kaede Hondo and Nao Sasaki (March 6). These five have been born in different prefectures, which Hinaki came from Hyogo, Mirai hailed from Chiba, Hikaru came from Tokyo, Kaede hailed from Nagoya, Aichi and Nao came from Osaka. Hinaki is a member of DUSTY FRUITS CLUB (current) and Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku (former) and the voice actress of Yu Takasaki, the protagonist of the anime adaption of Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, which will return for its second season in one month by April 2022, Momoe Sawaki, one of the protagonists of Wonder Egg Priority, Kitasan Black from Uma Musume Pretty Derby and Suzune Miyama, a member of 9-tie and Suzu☆Rena from SELECTION PROJECT. She’s also a close friend of Aguri Ōnishi (the voice actress of Ayumu Uehara), Mayu Sagara (the voice actress of Kasumi Nakasu) and Tomori Kusunoki (the voice actress of Setsuna Yūki) due to her good friendship with them when they were acting together in the anime adaption of Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. In a coincidence, Hinaki and Tomori were also on the cast of Wonder Egg Priority as the voice actresses of Momoe Sawaki and Neru Aonuma and they were part of the four-girl group Anemoneria alongside Hoshimi Production's Kanata Aikawa (the voice actress of Ai Ōto) and Aqours' Shuka Saitō (the voice actress of Rika Kawai). Mirai is the voice actress of Kotono Nagase, the younger sister of Mana Nagase (CV: Sayaka Kanda) and member of Hoshimi Production and Tsuki no Tempest, of IDOLY PRIDE. Hikaru is the voice actress of Howan, the leader of Mashumariesh!!, of SHOW BY ROCK!! Mashumairesh!! and Yujia Wang of Assault Lily, representing Hitotsuyanagi-tai. Kaede is the main leader of FranChouChou of Zombieland Saga as she was the voice actress of Sakura Minamoto, the protagonist of that anime. She had also voiced various characters such as Haruka Konoe (Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club; the sister of Kanata Konoe (CV: Akari Kitō)), Mizuha Kiryū (Hensuki), Natsuki Saotome (Val × Love), Reo Igarashi (If My Favorite Pop Idol Made It to the Budokan, I Would Die), Kanami Etō (Katana Maidens ~ Toji no Miko), Ariko Kasumi (Märchen Mädchen), Shigeru Kamado (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba), Sempai (Magical Sempai), Maple/Kaede Honjō (Bofuri; anime will release its second season probably this year), Elaina (Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina) and Mimori Amamiya (Shadowverse; anime will release its second season this year as Shadowverse Flame). She and Akari Kitō (the voice actress of Kanata Konoe) have become close friends with each other when they have appeared together in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba three years ago including the recently-concluded Entertainment District Arc. with Kaede being the voice of Shigeru Kamado and Akari being the voice of Nezuko Kamado. They later appeared together in the anime adaption of Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club in Episode 7: “Kanata, Haruka and Beyond”. And last but not the least, Nao is the voice actress of Haruko Saeki, a member of Hoshimi Production and Sunny Peace, of IDOLY PRIDE. Hopefully, those five will continue making progress of their voice acting careers as I’ll be watching out for them to see them thrill and smile, especially to Hinaki and Kaede, who have dazzled their way to show their motivation to their fans on their side with their smiles for sure!;) Belated happy birthday, Hinaki, Mirai and Hikaru, and happy birthday, Kaede and Nao!:) Speaking of the surname Takasaki, it’s time to head back to the city of Nagoya for a brand new update of the Red Section Series that will witness the return of one of the members of the Bravehearts of Nagoya in Yūmi Takasaki!:)

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES
CHAPTER 121: “THE COLOR OF DREAMS FOR THE SUNLIGHT ROSE

Date: May 9, 2010 (Sunday)

This side chapter is focused on Yūmi Takasaki and the Sunlight Rose as they are meeting with the close friends of the former where they’ll be working on their extended group after the formation of the Mitsurugi Red Bloom.

At the Takasaki Residence in Daigi-shinchō, Yūmi and her friends are finishing their preparations for the guests to come as they’re about to create a meeting where they’re about to form the extended group of the Sunlight Rose. They would be joined by Yasuhiro Takasaki (the older brother of Yūmi Takasaki), Mika Takashima (the leader of the Todoroki Gakuen chapter of the Fire Edelweiss), Keisuke Nishio (the cousin of Miku Nishio and a member of the Bravehearts of Nagoya), Hinako Furuya (the cousin of Yūmi and Yasuhiro Takasaki) and Fūko Miyahara (a classmate of Hinako Furuya).

Sunlight Rose: Keiko Yasumi, Saori Ishiyama, Chika Ishizaka, Kunihisa Katō, Mashiro Nakayama, Aina Hisakawa, Natsumi Hashiguchi, Nobuo Arimachi, Maika Toyama, Tatsurō Kaminuma, Katsuya Itō, Yōko Yaezawa, Yoshimi Moriwaki, Kotarō Murakami, Keiji Nonaka, Masako Tanioka, Reiko Tsujimoto, Junichi Takahara, Rei Kayama, Yūhei Tatsuno and Rina Yaginuma

“What are you drawing, oniichan?” asked Yūmi Takasaki, a member of the Bravehearts of Nagoya. Not to be confused with Yu Takasaki, a member of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, Yūmi had sported her brown hair just like Shizuku Ōsaka, also a member of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.

“I’m drawing a high school girl with brown hair just like you. I want to use this as an inspiration that I want to look up with” said Yasuhiro Takasaki, a first year high school student from the Todoroki Gakuen High School and the older brother of Yūmi Takasaki.

“Oh, that’s so cute, oniichan! I’m so surprised that your drawing would almost look liked me, to be honest” said Yūmi.

“Well, it’s just my draft as I’m hoping to make a beautiful and gracious drawing for my art class” said Yasuhiro.

“That’s good! I hope that you will finish it in no time because I want to see it for myself!” said Yūmi.

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

“I’m expecting to see a lot of close friends of yours coming to your home after they accepted their invitation to visit your home” said Hinako Furuya, a second year middle school student from the Todoroki Gakuen Middle School and the cousin of Yūmi Takasaki.

“It’s going to be great that they’ll be here to stay with us for today” said Fūko Miyahara, a second year middle school student from the Todoroki Gakuen Middle School.

“Yep! After I witnessed Kira and her friends on her side including her closest ones have formed the Mitsurugi Red Bloom, I decided to call out my close friends if we would do the same thing and they have accepted it. Of course, if Kira’s group had formed their own extended group, then so do we. Right, everyone?”

“Yeah!” said the members of the Sunlight Rose.

“We want to be more prepared to make bigger hopes and dreams for our community to grow because we want to show everyone that we’re here to dazzle and shine like we used to” said Keiko Yasumi, one of the co-leaders of the Sunlight Rose alongside Saori Ishiyama.

“Our community needs us for better hopes and blissful dreams, which is why we’re here to represent for them” said Saori Ishiyama, one of the co-leaders of the Sunlight Rose alongside Keiko Yasumi and the cousin of Miku Nishio.

“It’s going to be a new hope for our group after an extended group had been formed in your group and hopefully, everyone else will be ready to make the difference to assemble their extended groups altogether” said Chika Ishizaka, a member of the Sunlight Rose and a relative of Aimi Ishizaka, the leading girl of the Bravehearts of Numazu.

“Yeah, you’re right about that! We should be ready to work together with my close friends, so that we’ll be able to make our community growing with blessings and hopefully, they’re ready to make us feel thrilled that we have our blessings to show with” said Yūmi.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Sunlight Rose.

“I’m sure that you guys are all set to form your own circle of friends or whatever you call it because Shinobu said that he wanted everyone to assemble those, so that he’ll be happy to see them when he’ll be looking forward to see those for himself” said Keisuke Nishio, a member of the Bravehearts of Nagoya and the cousin of Miku Nishio, a member of the Music Girls.

“The extended group system in Nagoya had just begun with all groups that have befriended the leading girls of different braveheart groups in Nagoya have been formed on the same day yesterday. It’s going to be amazing that everyone else will have its own circle of friends to form with” said Mika Takashima, the leader of the Todoroki Gakuen chapter of the Fire Edelweiss and a relative of Aki Takashima, the leading girl of the Bravehearts of Numazu.

“Yeah, of course, guys! I was surprised about this when me and my fellow groupmates from the Bravehearts of Nagoya about what happened around Nagoya and I have to say that the revolution had just started with circles of friends coming around to gleam and shine. It’s going to be fantastic that we’ll be part of that revolution once we have formed our own circle of friends for sure” said Yūmi.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Keisuke and Mika.

“It’s still 2:00 in the afternoon, but there’s no sign of your close friends yet. Maybe, we should wait for them, so that we’ll start this meeting already” said Keiko.

“Well, yes, we should, Keiko-san. I hope that they’ll be here as soon as they have granted permission from their parents to allow them to visit my home” said Yūmi.

“Yeah, I hope so, Yūmi-san” said Keiko.

“For right now, let’s relax a little bit with our own work before they’ll be coming to us” said Yūmi.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Sunlight Rose while continuing their relaxation activities in a few minutes.

Then, a few minutes later, a doorbell would be rung, which allows Yūmi to hear some voices from the entrance of her home.

“Yūmi-san, we’re here!”

“We finally reached your home!”

“Oh, that must be my close friends, guys!” said Yūmi.

“Yeah, you should let them come, sister” said Yasuhiro.

“Okay!” said Yūmi as she stands up to approach to the entrance, so that she will open the door to see who they are coming. To her surprise, it was revealed to be the close friends of Yūmi, composed of Fuyumi Asakawa, Hiori Miyata, Shiori Kitamura, Masayuki Tomita, Sōichirō Honami, Tatsuhisa Kanematsu, Erika Takiguchi, Aika Nishikawa and Naoya Kumazaki.

“Hi, Yūmi-san!” shouted the close friends of Yūmi.

“Oh, wow! I can’t believe that you guys have finally arrived!” said Yūmi.

“Yeah!” said the close friends of Yūmi.

“We’re about to get lost on the direction of your house, but thankfully, Hiori found the right street through the address that she remembered” said Fuyumi Asakawa, a first year middle school student from the Todoroki Gakuen Middle School and a close friend of Yūmi Takasaki.

“Of course, she lived in the same neighborhood just like Yūmi” said Shiori Kitamura, a second year middle school student from the Hinoki Saiwa Middle School and a close friend of Yūmi Takasaki.

“Yep! I told you that you should look at my home first, which its roof is colored orange, before I accompanied you all to visit her home, which its roof is colored yellow with glasses facing the road” said Hiori Miyata, a second year middle school student from the Todoroki Gakuen Middle School and a close friend of Yūmi Takasaki.

“Well, it’s a good thing that you guys have found one before heading to mine, which I’m happy for you all!” said Yūmi.

“Yeah! Thank you very much, Yūmi-san!” said the close friends of Yūmi.

“Now that we have found your home, then we should be ready to see what you’re planning for your own circle of friends” said Fuyumi.

“Yeah, we heard about the extended group system in Nagoya had been made in several wards around the city” said Hiori.

“Especially that they already have their own ideas that they’ll allow them to team up with their allies” said Shiori.

“It will be amazing to see the progress of that phenomenon because they wanted to empower themselves” said Masayuki Tomita, a first year middle school student from the Todoroki Gakuen Middle School and a close friend of Yūmi Takasaki.

“Just like how it did in several cities in the western part of Japan including Kyushu” said Sōichirō Honami, a second year middle school student from the Todoroki Gakuen Middle School and a close friend of Yūmi Takasaki.

“Yes, that’s true, guys. That’s why I decided to invite you all to my home, so that we’ll be able to form our own circle of friends together. It’s going to be amazing that we should start making our own dreams to let it shine one day” said Yūmi.

“We want to inspire the Mitsurugi Red Bloom, the extended group of the Gleamed Cherry, because we want to be more involved in helping our community to grow, so that we’ll be able to give them some blessings that will cherish themselves” said Keiko.

“Our group will have opportunities to create our own future, so that we’ll be able to step up and shine with our smiles” said Saori.

“That’s why it’s going to be great that we will empower ourselves with our activities that will be making” said Chika.

“We’ll be very delighted to make everyone feeling thrilled to get along with us because they want to be more excited in looking for great ways to bless and shine” said Yasuhiro.

“When everyone is ready to work it out, then our chemistry needs to develop as soon as we’re all in the same page” said Mika.

“The more that we have worked together in organizing blooming and harmonious activities…” said Hinako.

“…the better that we’ll gonna make everyone feel happy to bless us through their hearts that they’ll never miss” said Fūko.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the close friends of Yūmi.

“Now, come with us, so that we’re going to start our meeting right away!” said Yūmi.

“Okay!” said the close friends of Yūmi, who were allowed to step in through the Takasaki Residence since they’re very close to Yūmi. They would remove their footwear at the entrance before placing their bags at the table, which was occupied by the bags from the members of the Sunlight Rose. They finally sit down in the couch with Yūmi and her friends, so that they’ll relax themselves.

“Ah, that feels good!” said Fuyumi.

“That’s more like a paradise!” said Hiori.

“Wow, I can’t believe this is good!” said Shiori.

“It’s feeling comfortable out here!” said Masayuki.

“This is not a bad place to relax because it’s so good!” said Sōichirō.

“Thanks, guys! Don’t forget to take some refreshments! I made some clubhouse and orange juice to make yourself refreshed and good to go” said Yūmi.

“Okay!” said the close friends of Yūmi as they take one clubhouse and a glass of orange juice.

“While you guys are relaxed while eating your mid-afternoon snack, we’ll be explaining about the introduction of our extended group” said Yasuhiro.

“That’s right, oniichan! You’ll be more delighted to see what we have shared, so that you’ll be ready to be part of us when we have formed our circle of friends later” said Yūmi.

“Yeah!” said the close friends of Yūmi.

“Now, let’s get into it to start this meeting!” said Yūmi as she’s going to explain the introduction of the extended group of the Sunlight Rose. “As you can see, when the Gleamed Cherry have formed their extended group yesterday, we decided to discuss this with the other members of the Bravehearts of Nagoya and the other group leaders of different mainstream groups that have been part of that braveheart group. Kira and Sayaka have shared about their circle of friends, which many of us have started to inspire that, which we finally came up of a plan to form our very own extended group.”

“Which will be composed of not only the Sunlight Rose, but also, the friends and allies of Yūmi and the groups that are coming from Daigi-shinchō and its neighbors including Funabara, whose color is yellow orange” said Keiko.

“Then, we called up with each other to plan on forming our very own extended group, which we have been able to make futuristic plans that will shine our community” said Saori.

“Including some fascinated and thrilling activities that involves idols since most of us were friends with Miku” said Chika.

“One thing that you’ll be more thrilled to see this is that we’ll be discussing some of the information about our extended group” said Kunihisa Katō, a member of the Sunlight Rose.

“Including the origins of the name that we created through a way of brainstorming ideas” said Mashiro Nakayama, a member of the Sunlight Rose.

“And the structure that will be looked like where all of us including our allies will be divided into different sections” said Aina Hisakawa, a member of the Sunlight Rose and the older sister of Mitsugu Hisakawa, a member of the Bravehearts of Nagoya.

“Hopefully, you’re going to be more excited about this because since you’re all here, we’re finally gonna reveal this before your very eyes” said Natsumi Hashiguchi, a member of the Sunlight Rose.

“We’ll be more indulged to show your smiles when you’re feeling satisfied with our plans that we have to make” said Nobuo Arimachi, a member of the Sunlight Rose.

“So that, you’ll be happy to get along with us in making our community ready to shine for more. Isn’t that right, everyone?” said Maika Toyama, a member of the Sunlight Rose and the younger sister of Eri Toyama, the vice leader of the Bravehearts of Nagoya.

“Yeah!” said Yūmi and her friends including the members of the Sunlight Rose.

“Well, I’m going to say that this one will be more promising to see this!” said Fuyumi.

“This is going to be so much fun to take a look at those!” said Hiori.

“I believe that you’ll be ready to make us feel comfortable with your activities that you’re planning” said Shiori.

“Especially that you have some ideas you came up with” said Masayuki.

“This is the part that we’re going to explore on those with different things that you want to see” said Sōichirō.

“As well as some of the things that we want to enjoy with when we’re organizing those together” said Tatsuhisa Kanematsu, a second year middle school student from the Todoroki Gakuen Middle School and a close friend of Yūmi Takasaki.

“It’ll be great enough for us to show that we’re here to run together before they know it” said Erika Takiguchi, a first year middle school student from the Todoroki Gakuen Middle School and a close friend of Yūmi Takasaki.

“But hopefully, your extended group will be more blooming and harmonious as soon as everyone is developing our chemistry in a better way” said Aika Nishikawa, a first year middle school student from the Todoroki Gakuen Middle School and a close friend of Yūmi Takasaki.

“So that, we’ll be able to have our blessings to earn with!” said Naoya Kumazaki, a first year middle school student from the Todoroki Gakuen Middle School and a close friend of Yūmi Takasaki.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Yūmi and her friends including the members of the Sunlight Rose.

“Now, to start things off, let’s go with the name of my circle of friends that will be forming right now” said Yūmi.

“At first, we want to use the word ‘Rose’ to make it more beautiful, but my sister decided to go for another name that it fits her circle of friends to be blooming and harmonious just like how the Gleamed Cherry named their extended group the Mitsurugi Red Bloom” said Yasuhiro.

“Which is why I decided to name it as the Prosperous Edelweiss Daigi-shinchō” said Yūmi.

“Wow! That name is so cool!” said Fuyumi.

“And it’s so beautiful!” said Hiori.

“But how did you name it?” asked Shiori.

“Well, I’m glad that you asked, Shiori-san!” said Yūmi as she’s going to explain about her reason of naming the Prosperous Edelweiss Daigi-shinchō for her circle of friends. “The Prosperous Edelweiss Daigi-shinchō comes from three words ‘prosperous’ means succeed in material terms, which my friends and I have used to work together to make our community shining.”

“The second word ‘edelweiss’ is a flower that is the symbol of our group, the Sunlight Rose” said Keiko.

“Then, last but not the least, the word ‘Daigi-shinchō’ comes from our hometown” said Saori.

“The name of our group means ‘a prosperous circle of friends with shining and harmonious ways’ as we want to show our pride and willpower to make sure that we’re here to bless and inspire everyone” said Chika.

“Ah, we get it now. I’m so surprised that you’re using the word ‘edelweiss’ as a word for your group because most of the youngsters love edelweisses as their lucky charm” said Shiori.

“They said that this flower symbolizes luck and prosperity, which gives good vibes and thrills that they will never miss” said Fuyumi.

“When everyone sees these flowers in the garden, it can bloom into you like it’s shining gracefully” said Hiori.

“Yeah, I agree with that, girls! I liked to smell some edelweisses to make sure that it’s blooming good, thus I brought them at my home as I want to take care of this for myself” said Yūmi.

“Well, you’re more of an edelweiss lover, Yūmi-san” said Fuyumi.

“Which means that you already have good luck in your aura right now” said Hiori.

“You can do anything you want as long as you’re shining your way in your basketball career” said Shiori.

“Yep! You got that right! I’m always determined to have good luck in my life ever since I was a little girl and now, I’m happy to have blessings ever since I joined the Bravehearts of Nagoya. You’ll always count on me to make yourself blessed and inspired” said Yūmi.

“Yeah!” said Fuyumi, Hiori and Shiori.

“The next topic to discuss is the goal and purpose of our circle of friends. The Prosperous Edelweiss Daigi-shinchō has three principles that they have to remember when working as a big community group: prosperity, enlightenment and charisma. Propserity is a principle that engages good teamwork in material terms, so that they’ll be able to develop one friendship to another” said Yasuhiro.

“Next up, enlightenment. When it comes to that principle, we want to indulge ourselves with good vibes as we want to make the difference, so that we’ll be able to earn ourselves to prove that we’re good in helping our community to shine” said Hinako.

“And last but not the least, charisma. Everyone has the charisma in their hearts because they want to stay strong in helping the community to empower for better change. Most of us are very determined to get blessed and inspired witout hesitation as long as we’re always stand together as one. It’s our goal to give everyone some good luck and motivation to make everyone ready to make the difference and live up in their dreams” said Fūko.

“The main reason why we chose those as the three principles of our extended group or circle of friends, if you rather, is because we want to follow the examples of different braveheart groups that empower us without losing our auras. That way, we’ll be able to shine through our auras and build a better friendship for ourselves” said Kunihisa.

“As a circle of friends, we’re going to do our best in making brighter ideas to shine and later, organize those to encourage everyone to get involved and show their smiles to us” said Mashiro.

“Hopefully, we’re going to be more thrilled to bloom and shine our community in a prosperous way, so that we’ll be able to build a better dream for everyone to see” said Aina.

“One dream can be big eventually when we’re all good enough to fulfill those with wisdom and courage” said Mika.

“I like those principles for your group to run, guys, because it makes us more determined to bring our community some hopes and dreams that will shine for themselves” said Masayuki.

“To be honest, an extended group must build good teamwork and develop good partnership between one to another as they want to show their prowess to groove themselves in helping their community to grow fore more” said Sōichirō.

“It’s going to be amazing that we’ll be building better friendship in you, so that we’ll be earned with respect” said Tatsuhisa.

“Yeah, that’s right, Tatsuhisa-san! In Nagoya, everyone can make a big group to gleam and shine and they want to make their community growing with good ideas that they have, so that they’ll be able to develop a great friendship with everyone” said Yasuhiro.

“It’s a great thing that we’re all here to show our prowess to make sure that we’re here to gain respect from everyone in our community” said Mika.

“The more that you earn some respect from everyone who wished to be blessed and inspired, the better that you’ll be able to become more respectful and motivated to have them” said Hinako.

“As you’ll be thrilled enough to make them feel good as long as they’ll be happy to be with you for sure” said Fūko.

“Well, I’m hoping that it will work when we’re going to work together, guys!” said Masayuki.

“We should make our own activities to prosper the community like how the other community groups have used to” said Sōichirō.

“So that, we’ll be able to shine ourselves with our smiles that we need to make everyone feeling thrilled and compassionated” said Tatsuhisa.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Yasuhiro, Hinako, Fūko, Mika, Kunihisa, Mashiro and Aina.

“It’s very important for all of us follow these three principles because these will help you empower yourself and show what you got to make our community proud” said Yūmi.

“Whenever we’re working together as a team, we have to work together to make sure that we’re dazzling our way with our smiles and thrills” said Keiko.

“You’ll be more delighted that you’ll have some blessings that you’ll get when we get the job, so that you’ll do anything to shine your way” said Saori.

“Yeah!” said the close friends of Yūmi.

“Now that we have finished discussing about the name, goal and purpose of our group, we’re going to move on to the next topic: our structure” said Yūmi.

“That’s right, Yūmi! The structure of our new extended group will be divided into three sections: (1) the Edelweiss Yellow Section, (2) the Dandelion Section and (3) the Orange Section” said Maika.

“These three sections will be classified for every member or group that have been part of our Prosperous Edelweiss Daigi-shinchō, according to its own format” said Natsumi.

“So, what are those three sections would be like and how did it work?” asked Erika.

“That’s a good question, Erika! The three sections have their own representation whether you’re a friend of Yūmi or living in Daigi-shinchō and its surrounding areas” said Maika.

“The first one is the Edelweiss Yellow Section, which is a section that is composed of friends and groups that are very close to either Yūmi or her family members” said Nobuo.

“We believe that we want some close friends of Yūmi to join our group, so that they’ll be obliged to get along with her through different activities” said Natsumi.

“Including some side activities that we have used every weekend” said Tatsurō Kaminuma, a member of the Sunlight Rose.

“These members will always go for decision making on what to plan for, so that they’ll be able to work on their plans that will energize everyone in our community” said Katsuya Itō, a member of the Sunlight Rose.

“This group will be more of a special division that will allow everyone to organize agendas and meetings and it’s open to be part of it as soon as you’re a close friend of Yūmi” said Yōko Yaezawa, a member of the Sunlight Rose.

“It will be amazing for those who were part of that group because they can develop a better friendship with each other, thus it’s going to be magnificent that will make us more thrilled to enjoy together as a team” said Yoshimi Moriwaki, a member of the Sunlight Rose.

“This is very interesting! I guess that we’re all part of that section because we’re close to Yūmi” said Erika.

“I have to say that this one would be amazing to allow us collaborating with you guys for the planning of future activities to make” said Aika.

“That section will be good for all of us to show that we’re going to approve anything that is more beautiful and more interesting” said Naoya.

“You’re right about that, guys. The Edelweiss Yellow Section will be served as the main board as we’re representing as a group of friends and allies that were allied to Yūmi” said Nobuo.

“Since we’re all part of that group, we can do anything to accept any plan that is more promising, so that we’ll be able to organize those in the future. Right, everyone?” said Natsumi.

“Yeah!” said the close friends of Yūmi.

“Next up, the Dandelion Section. This group will be composed of the groups that have been associated to Miku and her friends” said Saori.

“Which will also be including some friends that are idols at the same time” said Mika.

“Whoa! I can’t believe this!” said Fuyumi.

“That section is something special to me” said Hiori.

“I say that this one is for the idols. Isn’t that right, Yūmi-san?” said Shiori.

“Yeah, Shiori-san! I had been interested in idols, but I’m not ambitioned to be an idol because I’m already a basketball player. However, I had adored idols such as Miku Nishio of Ongaku Shoujo and Natsuha Arisugawa of Hōkago Climax Girls because they have dazzled enough to shine their way through their voice and smile as they wanted to become more successful in making progress of their careers. Of course, in the Bravehearts of Nagoya, most of our members have been associated to different idols. For the fans of Miku, they were 9 of them, composed of me, Aki Kaneko, Rika Hibino, Kyōko Ninomiya, Mika Ichimura, Natsuha Yoshikawa, Mitsugu Hisakawa, Keisuke Nishio and Asahi Tsurumaki” said Yūmi.

“For the fans of Ayumu Uehara of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, they were Kira Ōgaki, Rumi Saito, Akie Morikawa, Shizue Niwa, Emiri Tanahashi, Shigeno Shionoya, Kasumi Morikawa, Tatsuya Hosokawa and Kaede Matsuzaka” said Saori.

“For the fans of Kanata Konoe of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, they were Megumi Kazama, Yuiko Maeyama, Itsuko Maruyama, Yūichirō Fukagawa, Harumi Yamamoto, Yuika Tsukamoto, Asako Ōmori, Misato Yanaga, Chiaki Okabayashi and Noriyo Yashio” said Mika.

“And last but not the least, for the fans of the Kurosawa sisters, Dia and Ruby, of Aqours, they were Eri Toyama, Hisayo Uchida, Satomi Kurosawa, Erika Yoshioka, Sumire Takeyama, Chiyo Takezono, Reina Nonaka, Mira Aoki and Takao Hiramoto” said Keiko.

“We also have the fans of Natsuha in our group, which they’re almost finalizing their papers of joining the Bravehearts of Nagoya” said Chika.

“Which they were composed of Kaname Naruse, Kiyomi Suenaga, Genjiro Fukumoto, Satoshi Himejima and Ami Nakanishi” said Maika.

“Those guys are currently second year high school students from the Todoroki Gakuen High School and they have been part of the health committee” said Keisuke.

“Wow! I can’t believe that you and your friends have been admiring idols because they’re more motivated to show their thrills to make them happy!” said Shiori.

“I have to say that this influence had allowed you to plan on forming that section” said Fuyumi.

“It’s going to be great that we’ll have idols and fans coming to our way to be part of our circle of friends as they’ll be here to collaborate future activities” said Hiori.

“Yep!” said Yūmi, Keiko, Saori, Chika, Maika, Mika and Keisuke.

“Back to what I’m saying, the Dandelion Section will be composed of the friends and allies of Miku that they were interested in her idol career” said Saori.

“Not just in our school, but some schools that they have fans of Miku” said Mika.

“As they want to be more involved in supporting Miku to make her shine in her music career” said Keiko.

“Which is why we want them to get empowered, so that we’ll be able to give them some blessings that they want” said Chika.

“If they want to make the difference for my cousin Miku, then, they should be part of that group, so that they’ll be able to support her for sure” said Keisuke.

“Oh, this is very nice! A fan base of Miku as part of that section will be so cool to see it!” said Masayuki.

“I have to say that they’re going to build their own fanatism on Miku, so that they’ll praise her no matter what!” said Sōichirō.

“That way, they’ll be able to have blessings from her!” said Tatsuhisa.

“Yeah!” said Yūmi, Keiko, Saori, Chika, Maika, Mika and Keisuke.

“Since we have that section, I’ll be in charge of this alongside Mika, so that we’re going to open this for everyone who wanted to make the difference to shine with Miku” said Saori.

“That way, we’re going to send some message to Miku that we have formed this fan base without losing our willpower” said Mika.

“That’s very nice! I can’t wait to see how that section will be progressing once they’ll be a lot of fans coming out to join that one” said Fuyumi.

“You can organize anything to make Miku happy if they want to stay loyal to her when she’s performing for the Music Girls” said Hiori.

“That’s what fan bases do make sure that they’ll be able to maintain their relationship with an idol” said Shiori.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Saori and Mika.

“And but not the least, here comes the Orange Section” said Maika.

“The Orange Section will be composed of different groups that are coming from Daigi-shinchō and its neighboring areas” said Chika.

“That its main color is yellow orange” said Kunihisa.

“Which means that any group that is qualified to those are allowed to be part of it” said Mashiro.

“Also, we will allow some individuals that are associated to any of us if they have the desire to get along with us for helping our community to grow with blessings” said Aina.

“Of course, we will ask them if they were friends of us and then, we’ll welcome them to our group” said Natsumi.

“It’ll be amazing that we’ll have more allies to partner with us, so that we’ll be able to encourage them to rise up…” said Nobuo.

“…and shine through a smile, so that they’ll motivate themselves for the better future” said Tatsurō.

“Well, I would be very confident that you’ll have your friends coming out to join that group because they want to be like us in making their hopes and dreams being fulfilled” said Erika.

“They’ll be more prepared to show their strength and prowess in creating their own future to shine” said Aika.

“So that, they’ll be able to do their way to give blessings to everyone” said Naoya.

“Yeah, you’re right about that, guys! Our circle of friends will be very formidable than just us, but we’ll be ready to work with them to make sure that they’ll be prospered enough to make their dreams come true” said Yūmi.

“We want to be on the move because it’s our goal to make everyone more thrilled with smiles and joys, so that they’ll be able to build their future in you” said Keiko.

“Hopefully, it’ll be very exciting to see our group ready to move forward as soon as we have many members to join, but hopefully, it’s our time to run together as one family of friends and allies” said Saori.

“Yeah!” said the friends of Yūmi.

“Now, there’s also some additional information about these three groups. For the Edelweiss Yellow Section, the cousins from the Takasaki and Furuya clans will part of that group, which includes me because I came from the Furuya clan” said Hinako, whose mother Suzuka is the sister of Yūko Takasaki, the mother of Yūmi Takasaki.

“Which means that they’re allowed to take part of it without hesitation, so that they’ll be able to engage themselves to continue developing the friendship between Yūmi and her cousins” said Fūko.

“For the Dandelion Section, not only the friends and allies of Miku that have been part of it, but we’ll also invite some groups that have admired Miku on her idol career if they have the desire to prosper for her” said Yasuhiro.

“And last but not the least, for the Orange Section, we’ll be allowing some relatives of any member of the Sunlight Rose to join that group unless if any of them is special, then they’ll instead go to the Edelweiss Yellow Section” said Yūmi.

“As for those in charge for the membership, it will be me and Maika doing the work on those, so that we’ll be assigning them on where they’ll be assigned to” said Chika.

“Hopefully, we’ll be ready to assemble those groups to start working on their activities because this is the part where they’ll be developing their friendship with each other, so that they’ll be able to get closer with each other for sure” said Maika.

“I think that those things will be more interesting to make our circle of friends running like how the other circles of friends have used to” said Fuyumi.

“We should be more prepared to have new members, so that they’ll be able to be with us when we’re going to work together with them to shine our community” said Hiori.

“We should start stepping up to show that we’re ready to bloom and prosper our community through bright ideas that we have and we’ll be giving blessings to them for sure” said Shiori.

“Yeah!” said Yūmi and her friends.

“Now that we have finished discussed about the structure, let’s move on to the most important part: the future activities that we’ll be planning as a big group” said Yūmi.

“As a circle of friends that represented for Yūmi, we want to engage ourselves by organizing activities to make everyone ready to enjoy themselves because we want them to be more thrilled in bringing some smiles and joys into our community, so that they’ll be able to get blessed and inspired for sure” said Keiko.

“And so, we made some ideas that we made up with after we did some brainstorming on those through our minds” said Saori.

“First up, we decided to organize a special activity called the Yellow Full Moon Marathon, which will be held by the full moon of next month, where we’ll be organizing some moon-related activities to make our community shining during the night time of the full moon” said Chika.

“Coincidentally, the full moon of the month of June will be between June 27 and 28, which means that we’ll be organizing that activity at night, so that we’ll be able to encourage everyone to have fun celebrating the full moon” said Kunihisa.

“There are specific activities like making the mooncakes” said Mashiro.

“Creating some moon-themed cards” said Aina.

“Doing some puppetry through the night” said Natsumi.

“Playing some recreational games to energize everyone” said Nobuo.

“And there are some much activities to join with when we’re organizing this marathon” said Maika.

“We’re very determined to organize those themed activities because it will make us feel good that we want to make this activity more blooming and prosperous while seeing the full moon” said Tatsurō.

“Everyone will be ready to witness this before their very eyes, so that they’ll be ready to enjoy the activities that we made, so that we’re going to be more comfortable to see the full moon shining bright” said Katsuya.

“Miku told us one them when she said about that moon that it’s clear and bright during the midnight and it feels great that the moon is the source of the light for nighttime as we want to gleam on it to make it shine” said Yōko.

“Hopefully, we’ll be more indulged to enjoy this, so that we’ll be able to have a great activity to celebrate the full moon” said Yoshimi.

“Oh, wow! That activity is so cool!” said Fuyumi.

“I’m glad that you have that to organize this to celebrate the full moon!” said Hiori.

“I’m so excited about this because I love to have fun during the full moon!” said Shiori.

“That’ll be very blooming for every friend of Yūmi because they’ll be more energized enough to enjoy this night without losing their smile” said Masayuki.

“It’s going to be great that this magnificent activity will be ready to make us gleamed and shined when we’re all gathering together, so that we’ll be able to enjoy ourselves” said Sōichirō.

“We’ll be more delighted that we’ll be doing our best to make this night that we’ll never forget!” said Tatsuhisa.

“Yeah!” said Yūmi and her friends.

“That one would be more blooming for us to celebrate this, but I found it curious about the schedule. Why next month, not this month?” said Erika.

“That’s a good question that you asked, Erika-san, because as you can see, we can’t organize that activity this month because this month is where we’re open for invitations for friends and allies to get involved to join our group” said Yūmi.

“Which is why we wanted to organize this activity by next month, which we found out that June 28 (Monday) is a full moon” said Keiko.

“Of course, we want to organize this earlier than that day, so that we don’t want to see the moon waning on the actual day” said Saori.

“Sometimes, there are full moons taking place on a Sunday, which is the perfect time for everyone to make wishes upon the star during that night” said Chika.

“But there are some fantastical activities that have been made in some cities during the full moon where festivals taken place nearby” said Kunihisa.

“So, we should be more energized to organize this activity and of course, you’re all invited to be part of that event” said Mashiro.

“Yeah!” said the close friends of Yūmi.

“I’m very delighted that we can organize that activity on a Sunday, so that we can’t miss the full moon because it’ll be amazing for all of us to gleam on that during that night” said Erika.

“There are a lot of times that we’ll have our chance to witness the full moon and so, we’ll be amazing to let it shine for us to get thrilled” said Aika.

“Hopefully, it’s going to be awesome that we’ll do anything to make this event more magnificent and blooming like it’s a big event for all of us” said Naoya.

“Yeah!” said Yūmi and her friends.

“The next planned activity will be a slumber party at Saori’s home, which will be held on June 12 (Saturday)” said Chika.

“That’s right, Chika-san! I love slumber parties, which is better than campfire nights, which Miku used to do that when she was with us at that time” said Saori.

“Slumber parties are totally fun to enjoy ourselves during the weekend and we did that once in a month if we’re not busy with our school stuff” said Hinako.

“Of course, we found the best schedule to organize with and it’s going to be during the second Saturday of June” said Fūko.

“That day will be a free day for us to organize that activity” said Kotarō Murakami, a member of the Sunlight Rose.

“That is, if we would be able to finish our assignments that we have on time before the night comes” said Keiji Nonaka, a member of the Sunlight Rose and the cousin of Kazumasa and Reina Nonaka, both members of the Bravehearts of Nagoya.

“And then, we’ll be ordering some bulk foods and drinks to use for the slumber party” said Masako Tanioka, a member of the Sunlight Rose.

“So that, we’ll have the best slumber party that you’ll never forget” said Reiko Tsujimoto, a member of the Sunlight Rose.

“Oh, that’s so cool!” said the close friends of Yūmi.

“I love this one!” said Fuyumi.

“Yeah, me too!” said Hiori.

“Slumber parties are my favorite!” said Shiori.

“Hell yeah! I can count on that!” said Masayuki.

“This one would be the best thing for my life to get along with you!” said Sōichirō.

“Man, I’m so excited about this!” said Tatsuhisa.

“I’m interested in that one!” said Erika.

“So do I! I love to hang out with friends in a slumber party!” said Aika.

“I hope that this one would be awesome like a gathering that young adults have used to!” said Naoya.

“Well, you’re all excited for this, guys, because not only that you’re all here to come with us to have fun” said Junichi Takahara, a member of the Sunlight Rose.

“But we’ll be happy to organize some fun and exciting activities to make this party even brighter” said Rei Kayama, a member of the Sunlight Rose and a relative of Ayumu Uehara, the leader of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, and Mio and Maika Kayama.

“Really?!” surprisingly shouted the close friends of Yūmi.

“Yep! You’re all invited to come with us if you want because this is the best time for us to show our smiles and joys to create big moments” said Yūhei Tatsuno, a member of the Sunlight Rose.

“We need your thrills to fire it up like you’re happy to be with us” said Rina Yaginuma, a member of the Sunlight Rose.

“That way, you’ll be able to develop your friendship with us for sure!” said Mika.

“Yeah, we will!” said the close friends of Yūmi.

“I’m so glad that you’re all invited to Saori’s slumber party next month! It’s going to be so much fun that we need your energy to shine to make it blooming!” said Yūmi.

“Of course, we’ll be ready to get energized for this event!” said Fuyumi.

“It’s going to be amazing that we’ll have to get along with each other like we used to every summer back when we’re little kids” said Hiori.

“We’re going to indulge ourselves to make sure that we’ll have the happiest moments that we have when the slumber party is finally coming for all of us” said Shiori.

“Yeah, you got it!” said Yūmi.

“The next one will be the Usagi Night, which will take place by the end of the month on May 30 (Sunday)” said Keiko.

“This is where everyone will wear bunny ears while celebrating the happiness and joys of usagi” said Chika.

“Of course, the reason why we organized this is because Yūmi had been interested in drawing usagi that are so cute and adorable” said Kunihisa.

“Which is why we wanted to have this activity to be blooming and gleaming by having this one to be organized by the end of the month” said Mashiro.

“It’s going to be great that you’ll be ready to wear your usagi ears when the Usagi Festival will take place in Yūmi’s home” said Saori.

“Because we’re going to have so much fun to enjoy with while showing the usagi spirit to live up and shine” said Yasuhiro.

“It’ll be more exciting to be there for that activity because not only that it’s all about the cherish and indulgence of usagi favoritism” said Hinako.

“But it’ll be more prosperous to show how the spirit of Japanese usagi live on” said Fūko.

“Well, I’m very excited that you have organized your own night to celebrate the happiness and indulgence of usagi” said Fuyumi.

“I have to say that we’ll be more delighted to show our smiles when organizing this activity because it’s gonna be cool to let it shine” said Hiori.

“That way, it will be amazing that we’ll be living harmoniously like Japanese usagi did in mythology” said Shiori.

“Yeah, of course, girls! The Usagi Night is going to be so special for all of us to celebrate the life of Japanese usagi and it’s going to be fantastic that we’ll shine together like them to have good luck in our hands. Right, everyone?” said Yūmi.

“Yeah!” said Yasuhiro, Keisuke, Mika, Hinako, Fūko and the members of the Sunlight Rose.

“Then, I’m thrilled to see your smile out here!” said Yūmi while giving her friends a smile.

“Wait a minute. Don’t tell me that you looked like Ayumu with that smile!” said Masayuki.

“Huh? What are you surprising on her, Masayuki-san?” asked Yasuhiro.

“Yeah, I’m curious about this either” said Keisuke.

“It’s the smile that she used like how Ayumu and her fellow club members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club did when they were featured in PR videos” said Masayuki.

“They have worked together to gleam and shine everyone with their thrills, so that they’ll bloom themselves like how the other school idol groups did” said Sōichirō.

“They have been different, but they’re surely delighted to create dreams to everyone” said Tatsuhisa.

Yūmi would surprise Masayuki, Sōichirō and Tatsuhisa with a gleeful smile. “Oh, you guys are talking about Ayumu, right?”

“Yeah!” said Masayuki, Sōichirō and Tatsuhisa.

“I see. You know, I had been a friend of Miku since she used to live with me before when she was a student in Todoroki Gakuen. Then, she left Nagoya to study in Tokyo last month to attend Hasekura. Of course, Miku had recognized a lot of idols everywhere, especially school idols when she became a good friend of Chika Takami of Aqours. However, not only for that, she had also recognized Ayumu Uehara as well when she and her fellow club members have visited Nagoya for their spring break” said Yūmi.

“Yeah! That’s where we attend that activity last spring where we used to enjoy getting along with them” said Keiko.

“Then, we have been able to jam in with them when they’re performing their songs” said Saori.

“We have been very determined that we have showed our smiles to them, which they have given us the thrills to make us feel happy and delighted” said Mika.

“You should be more indulged when you’re getting with them because they’re always special to give you some thrills that you’ll never miss” said Hinako.

“They’ll shine in their own way as they’ll be ready to create their future for sure!” said Fūko.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the friends of Yūmi.

“But that’s not all, Yūmi is not related to Yu Takasaki, who, if I remember correctly, is a childhood friend of Ayumu, because Yu is from Odaiba, but unlike Yūmi, who was born in Nagoya” said Maika.

“So, that’s why it’s just a coincidence that we have a Takasaki, who always put up some thrills to show up” said Chika.

“Everyone can be more gleamed and excited to bring happiness with each other” said Kunihisa.

“And so, it’s going to be fantastic that you’ll be ready to meet her when the time is come for NijiGaku to visit our hometown very soon” said Mashiro.

“Or we might gonna travel to their home in Odaiba by summer if we have good enough to book a room in a prestigious hotel in Roppongi” said Aina.

“Yeah, we will!” said the friends of Yūmi.

“You know, Yūmi-san, I found out that you’re prestigious and admired just like Ayumu and Shizuku” said Fuyumi.

“But even you’re very close to Miku, you’re more charismatic to give everyone including your close friends a smile” said Hiori.

“You’ll always be like them with your aura coming out to shine!” said Shiori.

“Yes, I agree with that, girls! As a member of the Bravehearts of Nagoya, I’m always compassionated to make thrills to everyone, so that they’ll be able to inspire me like they’re here to bless me. When Ayumu taught me about making dreams, she said that you can make brighter ideas before turning into a dream. Of course, a dream can be fulfilled one day when you have shined your way through a thrill that you can’t miss. It’s so great that I have learned that advice from a school idol who is cheerful and admired. You should get used to it, so that you’ll be motivated to have a cheerful life while hanging out with us for sure” said Yūmi.

“Yeah!” said the close friends of Yūmi.

“I’m very thrilled that you had met a school idol like someone’s different than any other idols” said Fuyumi.

“But that Ayumu is prestigious and admired to make everyone thrilled after all” said Hiori.

“I have to say that she’ll be ready to inspire you to make sure that you’ll create your own dream to witness this for sure!” said Shiori.

“Yeah! You can always count on me if you want to make myself comfortable to you. That way, we’ll have some thrills that we’ll never lose!” said Yūmi.

“Yeah!” said the close friends of Yūmi.

“Then, the other planned activity that we’ll be planning is that we’re going to organize a creative activity with my brother since we’re very interested in drawing, especially that we wanted to become anime designers in the future” said Yūmi.

“You’re right about that, sister! I’ll be inviting you all to come to our activity where we’ll be drawing some characters and objects that we want to imagine with” said Yasuhiro.

“This is the part where we’re going to fascinate ourselves to draw inspirations from the most respectful designers in anime industry” said Hinako.

“Hopefully, you’ll be ambitioned to become anime designers like Yūmi and Yasuhiro because they’re good enough to create their own works, so that they’ll show this to everyone in our community that they’re good on it” said Fūko.

“That activity is so cool!” said Fuyumi.

“Now, that’s what I want to go for it!” said Hiori.

“Oh, I like this one!” said Shiori.

“This one is so good to organize this, guys!” said Masayuki.

“I’m so excited about this one!” said Sōichirō.

“Drawing is my favorite!” said Tatsuhisa.

“We can innovate anything with those!” said Erika.

“That would be amazing to start working with our own dreams!” said Aika.

“It’s going to be awesome that we can build those in the future” said Naoya.

“That’s right, guys! This activity will help you inspire to build your own dreams” said Keiko.

“It will be amazing that you’re going to do something imagable to dream big, so that you’ll have those things to come out one day” said Saori.

“You’ll be more thrilled to do anything that is blooming and harmonious because it’s going to be so much fun to do it!” said Mika.

“Yeah!” said the close friends of Yūmi.

“I hope that you’ll be ready to shine and smile with us when our circle of friends is now ready to go because this is what we do to make us blessed and inspired” said Yasuhiro.

“Yeah, it’s going to be fantastic that you’re all here in our circle of friends where we’ll create our own future to dream with” said Hinako.

“Everyone will be looked good to step up when we’re going to work together as a circle of friends as this will be our time to shine for our community to be growing with blessings” said Fūko.

“The Sunlight Rose is now getting better with the close friends of Yūmi are going to be with us to show some pride and willpower” said Maika.

“Of course, we’re currently getting started to make us more blooming and harmonious as we’re ready to elevate ourselves” said Chika.

“Things are about to be different when we’re running this extended group and once it’s now complete, we’ll do anything to shine together with our auras” said Mika.

“It will be amazing to prosper our community with hopes and dreams that we have as we’ll be ready to make everyone getting their thrills to come out with” said Saori.

“We’re going to have so many fantastic and energizing activities that we have planned with and so, we’re going to work together to make everyone ready to gleam and shine” said Keiko.

“Hopefully, you’re all set to run together as one of family of friends and allies that will make our community growing with hopes and dreams that they want to gleam with because we’re going to make them blessed and inspired for sure! Right, everyone?” said Yūmi.

“Yeah!” said the close friends of Yūmi.

“Now that the formation of our extended group had been completed, then let’s shine together outside and have some fun with your smile!” said Yūmi.

“Yeah!” said Yasuhiro, Keisuke, Mika, Hinako, Fūko, the members of the Sunlight Rose and the close friends of Yūmi as they’re ready to make themselves thrilled with Yūmi by going outside and play some recreational games together. Yūmi and her friends including her close ones that she befriended the most have finally formed their circle of friends, known as the Prosperous Edelweiss Daigi-shinchō, which will be served as the extended group of the Sunlight Rose. It feels great that they have finally formed their new group of friends and allies that they’ll run together, so that they’ll be able to make everyone being blessed and inspired with their hopes and dreams being made and shine their community for a better future.
