Another day in Idol Research Club as Hanayo and Rin look at the computer, the Third Years is chatting and Taichi asleeps on the chair beside Maki. "It is kinda boring right now," said Taichi. "Sorry for over active last night," said Maki as Eli giggles. Nozomi puts her hand on his head. "You want me to heal you with my spiritual power?" asked Nozomi. "Not funny, Nozomi. Just let me sleep," said Taichi.

"This is terrible!" all of them look towards Hanayo that stands up. "Why are you being so loud? What happen this time?" asked Nico, irritated. "It's a scandal," said Hanayo. The others look at the screen. "A scandal on Tsubasa of A-Rise," said Hanayo, again. "What did you just say?" asked Nico, shocked. Taichi lifts his head and looks at Nico. "Can you keep it down, shortie? There is a person is trying to take a nap here," said Taichi. "Isn't that Honoka?" asked Nico, ignoring Taichi. The door opens and Honoka, Umi and Kotori walk in. "Hey everyone, sorry we're late," said Honoka. The girls look at her.

Few minutes later, 

"Wait, me and Tsubasa?" asked Honoka, shocked. Taichi looks at the screen. "That is where Tsu-chan called Honoka and I," said Taichi. "You were wearing pajama too. Why did you ever go out like that?" asked Umi. "Well, I kinda run out without thinking," said Honoka as she smiles sheepishly. "That is something weird. It's like someone wants to destroy the reputation of both Muse and A-Rise," said Taichi as he wears his augma. "AJ, can you scan the picture and track on where it was upload?" asked Taichi. "On it, sir." "But now, Tsubasa is in trouble because of me. What should I do?" asked Honoka. "You got it all wrong." They look at A-Rise that walk in. Tsubasa walks towards him and stand beside him. "Being wary on paparazi is part of our responsibilities. So you did nothing wrong," said Tsubasa. "Sir, I manage to track the last location where the picture was upload. It is from the new digital camera that connect to the phone." Taichi smirks. "Good, keep on tracking the movement. We have party to join," said Taichi as he heads towards the door. Tsubasa looks at her boyfriend strangely. then looks at Honoka. "Honoka-san, I have a favor to ask you," said Tsubasa. 

Few minutes later, at the arcade, Taichi looks around. "I wonder where is the last time I play at the arcade," said Taichi with a chuckles. He looks at Dance Dance Revolution machine. Tsubasa and Honoka head towards the same machine. He chuckles. 'If she finds out who has the highest ranking," said Taichi. Half an hour later, Tsubasa glares towards the screen that shows her name being te second highest as Honoka pants heavily. "How the heck did he get that points?" asked Tsubasa, angrily. The dark brown haired male student tries to hold his laughter. "Sir, the target is on the move." He looks at the person with a cap stands at the door. He smirks. Tsubasa and Honoka walk out as the person follow them. 

Hours later, at the riverside, Tsubasa and Honoka sit down, unknowingly that the rest of Muse and A-Rise are spying on them. At nearby bushes, Taichi aims Schmidt Scout towards the nearby lighthouse. "Come out come out wherever you are," sang Taichi with a grin. He sees the person holding the digital camera, aiming the lenses towards the pair. He smirks. "Checkmate," said Taichi as he pulls the trigger.

The person aims the lenses towards Tsubasa and Honoka. Before she could press the button, the digital camera suddenly explodes, shocking her. Before she could do anything, Taichi puts the Nighthawk .50c on her head. "Game over, kiddo. You lost," said Taichi with a smirk. Erena, Maki and Eli arrive behind him. Erena pulls out her phone. "Tsubasa, the target has been caught," said Erena. Eli looks at her fiance that pulls out his Augma. "Where did you get that weapon?" asked Eli. "I have huge collection of the weapon. Just seldom used it," said Taichi.

Few moment later, The person kneels in front of both A-Rise and Muse. Taichi stands beside her. "Why have you been doing all this?" asked Tsubasa. The person pulls out her hat, revealing her long hair. "I remember you. You are another school idol group from UTX," said Taichi. "That's right. We're idols from UTX but we were left in their shallow. No one batted an eye on us all because of A-Rise. I hate school idols! School idols...Love Live... they all can disappear for all I care!" yelled the person. Taichi slaps her real hard, shocking both A-Rise and Muse. "If you think like that, then you deserve to be left in the shallow," said Taichi, stern. The girl shocks and look at him. "What?" asked the person.  "Instead of working hard, plan better strategies and analyze why you failed in the first place, you decide to create the scandal on your rivals so they can fall while you rise. You are not fit to becoming a school idol in the first place," said Taichi. "Tai, that's enough," said Nico. The dark brown haired guy ignores the club president, still glaring at the girl. "A-Rise are where they are now is because of their hardship and their sacrifice, because they work hard to achieve their dream instead of whining. Never take Love Live lightly," said Taichi, still stern and cold. Umi looks at him. 'This is the first time I've seen him this serious and using stern and cold tone' thinks Umi. 

Taichi about to add more but Honoka stands in front of him. "Would you really fine with that? Don't you want to sing more?" asked Honoka. "Sing is one thing, Honoka but without hardwork and sacrifice, the singing will only be just singing," said Taichi, stern and cold. "People might not paid attention to you but when they did, you would have continue to sing and dance. I'm sure that if you continued, that dream would have become true," said Honoka. "What are you saying? As if you know everything," scoffed the girl. "Then you have no qualification on becoming a school idol in the first place. You can forget about your dream if you're unwilling to sacrifice for it," said Taichi, cold. "Tai, please," pleaded Honoka. "You don't need to be that harsh," said Anju. "Here's a tip, instead of looking at A-Rise's success, try look at how they begin as a failure. Try look on their steps from the beginning until what they are now. Then you can understand why you failed in the first place," said Taichi. The girl looks down, crying. "You disgusted me," said Taichi as he turns around and walks away. Honoka looks back at the girl. "I do know. Because our first live was in an empty stage," said Honoka as the girl shocks again. 

At night, Taichi sits on the computer, designing new armor. Eli and Maki walk in and stand behind him. He takes a deep breath. "Even Frouze first concert has no audience but we build up reputation until it became the most popular idol group at that time. That brat takes being an idol way too light," said Taichi. "But sir, maybe the choice of words that you used are too harsh for that 'brat' to hear." He sighs. "I know but there are times you have to be cruel to be kind," said Taichi. Maki hugs him from behind. "I understand the feeling but you need to understand her perspective," said Eli. "I know but creating fake scandals won't help her achieve her goal," said Taichi. Tsubasa walks in and stands beside him. "Tai, I know you're upset but you don't have to be cold and harsh towards her," said Tsubasa. "When you build something that great and a brat decides to take down with it, you will be pissed," said Taichi. "I know," said Tsubasa. She then looks at him. "About the rank on Dance Dance revolution," said Tsubasa. He chuckles. "This will be a long day," said Taichi.
