Chapter 1/Episode 1 (Part 2)

### Support School Idols!

(By chance you see a broadcast of μ's and Aqours performing together on one of Akihabara's big screens. Your first look at a school idol performance leaves you stunned by its shining glamour.)
 **Player:** (We'd just happened to walk by a big screen in Akihabara, showing μ's and Aqours having a concert. It was the first school idol show Ayumu and I had ever seen.)
 **Player:** Whoa!
 **Passerby:** by Oh, sorry! You all right?
 **Player:** I am, but...what's the crowd for? Is something happening?
 **Passerby:** μ's and Aqours are having a joint concert, and it's being broadcast all over the country! You two didn't come to see it?
 **Ayumu:** μ's and Aqours? You mean the school idols?
 **Passerby:** Yeah! Looks like you're really lucky. This is the biggest screen you'll see them on, so watch if you've got time. You'll love it, I guarantee it!
 **Player:** R-Right...
 **Player:** Wow...
 **Ayumu:** Hey, you all right?
 **Player:** Oh, sorry, I was just kind of...overwhelmed. Just, the show, and everyone cheering, it was all so...
 **Ayumu:** Yeah, I know what you mean! It really felt like we were all in it together.
 **Player:** I think I really like school idols!
 **Nozomi:** So how'd we all like the μ's and Aqours show?
 **Player:**It was AMAZING!
 **Ayumu:** Sh-She's not gonna hear you through the screen.
 **Player:** Oh! Oh yeah. I just couldn't help myself.
 **Player:** I mean, it was just so awesome to watch! So exciting! I had so much fun I thought I'd cry, and I've never felt that before!
 **Player:** This is the first time I've really seen a school idol live show, and I had no idea they were this awesome! What have I been doing with my life?!
 **Player:** Know what I mean, Ayumu?
 **Ayumu:** E-Er, ah, sure, totally!
 **Yoshiko:** So, my little demons... Are you ready to step through the School Idol Festival's gates?
 **Player:** School Idol Festival?
 **Nico:** School idols and their fans love the festival! They're definitely going to be there!
 **Ruby:** We're going to do our best to make it a great festival, so come and see us!
 **Ayumu:** A big festival for school idols, huh? I didn't know there was such a thing.
 **Player:** Think there'll be shows like this one? Man, I want to check it out!
 **Player:** Wow...
 **Ayumu:** Haha, you've been totally starstruck.
 **Player:** W-Well, you saw them, didn't you?! The show! The music! μ's and Aqours, they were just amazing!
 **Player:** I mean, I knew of school idols before, but actually seeing them like this... It blew me away.
 **Player:** Hey, what do you think that School Idol Festival they were talking about is like?
 **Ayumu:** Let me look it up real quick. Ah, here we go. Hm. Well, to put it really plainly, it's like a school culture festival?
 **Player:** A school culture festival? For school idols?
 **Ayumu:** Yeah, check this out.
 **Player:** It's seriously this big an event?! There're so many school idols and so many shows...and there're even food stalls?
 **Ayumu:** And apparently, students like us run the whole thing.
 **Player:** Seriously?! Wh-Whoa. They must really love school idols.
 **Ayumu:** Wanna go?
 **Player:** I totally do! Will you come with me?
 **Ayumu:** Sure will!
 **Player:** \*Groan\* I just wish there were school idols in Nijigasaki, too. Then I could go cheer them on.
