Love Live!: SHATTER [PART 9]

BLUE-HAIRED CIRCUIT OF DEATH:

*COURTYARD - NIJIGASAKI HIGH SCHOOL - ODAIBA - TOKYO*

Sometimes you can't fight the fate you have been given. Even if it almost guarantees certain death.

Because when all is said and done, at least you can say that it's better than certain death.

...Unfortunately this is not the case. Because THIS is a fate WORSE than death!

I'm at the mercy of two demonic training forces.

One who creates the most ludicrous schedules and strikes fear into the hearts of those she coaches.

The other is a machine of unlimited stamina who doesn't know when SHE'S at her limit, let alone others.

If these two don't kill me...then most likely Katsuo will do it at the School Idol Festival.

BUT if I defy all odds and make it out of the blue-haired schedule of death, then I'll at least have SOME chance at the School Idol Festival. It'll be my shot.

1% chance of success is always better than 0%.

But it's still not enough. I'll have to continue growing...

...IF I DON'T DIE FIRST.

AKI: "Did you have to be so forceful? I've had shoulder problems before..."

KANAN: "Come on... We weren't that rough."

AKI: "I could feel my arms tearing from their sockets! I might be in no condition to begin training... Ow..."

UMI: "Even if your arms are hurt, your legs are still fine."

AKI: "Eh...? B-But without my arms, how can I dance?! Arm movement is a big part in being expressive, y'know?"

KANAN: "Dancing? Who said anything about dancing?"

AKI: "U-Um... This IS idol training, right? I'll have to improve my dancing if-"

UMI: "You are jumping too far ahead. There are steps to all of this. Right now, you're trying to skip several. We cannot allow that!"

KANAN: "Think back to the training sessions you've led in the past."
