Honoka picks up her phone and answers.

Honoka: Hello Honoka Kousaka speaking. Who is this?

Kotori: "Hi Honoka-chan. It's me Kotori. Can we talk?"

Honoka: Oh hi Kotori-chan. Sure. What do you want to talk about?

Kotori: "My mom said she will endorse your transfer."

Honoka: Really?!!

Kotori: "Yeah!!! However there is one condition though."

Honoka: Oh...... And what is that condition?

Kotori: "You have to attend class tomorrow and have one last practice with us."

Honoka: And if I refuse?

Kotori: "She won't endorse your transfer. And you'll be declared expelled from Otonokizaka High School."

Honoka: No way!!! I want that endorsement badly. Alright I'll attend school tomorrow and have my last practice with you guys.

Kotori: "Ok Honoka-chan. ☺️☺️☺️☺️ Bye......"

Yazawa Residence 8:30 pm

Nico had just finished cooking dinner for her and her siblings.

Suddenly her phone rings.

Nico: Hello Nico Yazawa speaking. Who is this?

Eli: "Hey Nico- it's me Eli."

Nico: Oh hi Eli-chan. What can I do for you?

Eli: "I just got a call from Umi-chan. It's terrible news I'm afraid."

Nico: What do you mean she gave you a terrible news?

Eli: "The school's chairwoman threatened to cut the School Idol Project Research Club's budget by 20%."

Nico: What?!!! Why would she do that?

Eli: "I'm afraid she told Umi-chan that she's granting power to the Student Council to our cur club's budget if you don't stop spying on other people's lives. And she might also suspend you."

Nico: Crap!!! I can't let that happen. If that happens then how are we will be able to get updated about Love Live.

Eli: "So are you going to practice tomorrow? I decided to resume it by the way."

Nico: Of course I am. So does that mean we're still going to compete despite losing our good for nothing leader?

Eli: "Yes we are. And you're right about that. We finished second in the first Love Live. So I know we can win even without Honoka."

Nico: Right. I'll see you tomorrow Eli-chan. Goodnight.

Eli: "Goodnight too Nico."
