Love Live!: TAKEOVER [PART 8]

REDRAW:

*THE NEXT DAY*

*IDOL RESEARCH CLUBROOM - OTONOKIZAKA GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL - AKIHABARA - CHIYODA - TOKYO*

Ugh... My legs are sore...

Guess that's what happens when I partake in one of Kanan's training programs. Remind me to never do that again.

I wish I could relax at Nijigasaki today, but I'm still not done helping μ's out.

The girls are preparing for their live show and I respect that. But I also want them to surprise me with how much they've improved.

Watching them train all the time takes the fun away from being an audience member at a live show.
Because I've seen it all before, I know what to expect.

But this time, I'll be going in blind and I'll really get to see them shine. After all, if we're going to make it at the School Idol Festival we need to please our fans.
So, this time I'll have the same perspective as everyone else, and I'll really be able to deliver some great feedback.

Today at Otonokizaka, we're holding Maki's piano class. A certain someone I know was curious about this and decided to stay after her morning training session with Hanayo.

I guess after all these years, she's finally interested in playing the piano herself...

HANAYO: "Wha... No way...!"

Hm? What's taken Hanayo by surprise so suddenly?

HANAYO: "We get to go?! Yaaay!"

SHIORIKO: "What's got you shouting so excitedly, Hanayo?"

AKI: "Wait, is this what I think it is...?!"

HANAYO: "It is! I won the lottery redraw! Now I can take Shioriko along to watch A-RISE's graduation live show!"

SHIORIKO: "Wow! Thank you so much, Hanayo!"

AKI: "Congratulations! I bet you won because of how passionate you are about training and school idol studies!"

HANAYO: *Giggle* "That sure would make me happy! That reminds me, I need to get ready for the live show!"
