Love Live School Idol Project: The Next Generation

Chapter 15 - Haruka Joins Aphrodite

After her sterling performance with Muse. All eyes are now focused on one girl. The one and only daughter of Honoka Kousaka and Tsubasa Kira, Haruka. And Hanabi Kobayashi is willing to move heaven and earth just to nail a prize recruit like her. And the next generation school idol is now a step away from the limelight that her parents once enjoyed. Especially her performance which is the talk of the town. She became an instant media sensation after the concert.

The three members of Aphrodite are now talking about her. They know that if they can get her to join them it will be a big boost to their morale. And this could make them land a spot in the top 20. Hanabi carefully plans on how to recruit Haruka without scaring her unintentionally.

Yomi: Let me get this straight Hanabi-chan. You want to recruit Honoka-san's daughter.

Hanabi: Yes Yomi-chan! I do want to get her to join us. Think about it. Not only will our ranking increase. But our chances of winning Love Live.

Hitomi: I understand that you want to recruit her. Nya..... But I don't know if we can easily nail her. Nya.....

Hanabi: Then I will just have to get her using an old Honoka Kousaka method.

Both: Nani?!!!

Hanabi: You heard me. Honoka-san used her charisma to recruit the other members of Muse. Excluding, Chairwoman Minami-Sonoda and Umi-san. So I am going to do the same on Haruka-san.

While they were talking about on how to recruit Haruka. Akame is in the music room sitting by the grand piano. She decides to open it and play a song while singing. It was reminiscent of what Maki Nishikino did when she was young.

Akame: 🎵I will be there 🎶🎶🎵 when you need me🎶🎶

🎶🎶 It's been a week since we last walked 🎵🎵🎵🎶by the sea 🎶🎶

The three girls hears her and decides to go to the music room.

Hanabi: Do you hear that?

Yomi: It's coming from the music room.

Hitomi: I wonder who it is. Nya......

Hanabi: It must be the transfer student Alisa-sensei that is talking about.

Yomi: I heard that she's just a first year.

Hitomi: She's good in both singing and playing the piano. Nya!

Yomi: Don't tell me that you are going to recruit her too Hanabi-chan. Huh? Where did she go?

Hitomi: I think she is going to the music room. Nya!

Yomi: Damn that girl. I'm not surprised if she is really a reincarnation of Honoka-san.

As the three girls head to the music room. Their conversation is overheard by Kotori who is doing her rounds of the school. She can't help but smile and laugh to herself about what she heard. She decides to go to the auditorium and talk to the picture of her deceased friend. This time she's not saying anything sad. Instead she's going to talk about what she heard.

Kotori: "Honoka-chan...... It seems that you are really an influential figure until now. Nobody in the world would ever know how on Earth are you able to pull people together. Only you know the answer to that. And here comes a student who decides to form a new school idol group to represent Otonokizaka High School again. Now she's going to recruit Haruka and the transfer student using her charisma. I think I agree with my daughter Yomi that she's a reincarnation of you. But I think it's more of an influence from you. After all you were the one who started everything here. I guess it's safe to say that your legacy lives on. I have to go now my friend. I've got more paperwork to do. I never realized that being a chairwoman is this tough."
