Love Live School Idol Project Romance: A Love Affair With A Rival

Chapter 18 - The Confrontation (Tsubasa Enters Otonokizaka Unexpectedly)

It's been two days since the "incident" on the rooftop happened. All the members of Muse kept it a secret. However they couldn't practice as effectively as they were before. They keep fumbling and missing a step.

Eli and Umi can clearly sees what is going on. Honoka hasn't gone back to school yet. Kotori on the other hand was still affected by the things that occurred two days ago. Eli then signals Umi to go down. Then they both go to the club room.

Nozomi quickly notices them but didn't say a word. Instead she told the others just to rest for a while. She then looks at Nico who was still obviously hurting from the punch she got from Honoka.

Nico: "Damn that Honoka. Throwing a punch like that to me. Until now my left eye hurts like hell. Once she shows up again I will return the favor."

Suddenly she lets out a loud scream.

Nico Eeeeyaaaa!!!!! Nozomi what the hell did you do that for?

Nozomi: Looks like I got your attention. It seems that you're still thinking about what happened two days ago.

Nico: Who wouldn't? When you get an unexpected right hook from someone like Honoka

In the meantime, Eli and Umi are in the club room talking about what happened and what is the solution they come up with.

Eli: This can't be happening right now.

Umi: You're right Eli-chan. Honoka hasn't shown up for two days now. While Kotori-chan is still in shock.

Eli: There's gotta be a way to patch things up.

Umi: Why don't we try lying to them?

Eli: What do you mean by lying to them Umi-chan?

Umi: I mean we could pretend that since we can no longer consistently practice because of the disputes we've been having lately. We'll tell them that we are going to pull out of Love Live.

Eli: How is this going to patch things up?

Umi: Simple, we both know that Honoka is dedicated into winning Love Live now after we saved our school. And how Nico-chan keeps stressing that she is the number one school idol in the universe.

Eli: So what are you saying is that they won't let that happen and that they will work hard just to win right?

Umi: Exactly. And all you have to do is to tell them that they kiss and make up so that you won't push through with it.

Eli: Sounds like a good plan to me.

Umi: Ok let's do it then.

Just as they were about to go back to the rooftop a loud commotion suddenly occurs.

Student 01: Oh my God!!! Is this for real?!!

Student 02: Tsubasa Kira of A-RISE is visiting our school!!!

Student 03: Are they planning to use our school as their stage!!!

Tsubasa: Excuse me...... Do any of you students know where the office of Chairwoman Minami is?

Kotori Minami who just arrived in school. Quickly answers Tsubasa Kira about the location of her mom's office.

Kotori: I I know where it is.

Kotori: Ahhh thank you Kotori-san. Please lead the way.

Kotori: A-alright f-follow me.

As Tsubasa follows Kotori to her mother's office, she notices Nico looking at her. She gives her a death glare and this pisses off Nico.
