Link! Like!: Episode 18 ~ Part 6
Before she graduates, the second-year students, Kozue, Tsuzuri, and Megumi, decide to make Sachi, to whom they owe a great deal of gratitude, a song that will “make her cry her eyes out!” (according to Megumi)
Alright, today we’re here at a Kanazawa cinema.
We’re here! So are we gonna watch a school idol movie?
…Normally that’d give me enough power, but…
This time, we’ve gotta break our limits, Ruri-chan. Which means…!
W-Which means…!?
It’s time for the dark past I’ve sealed away… We’re watching Fujishima Megumi’s first ever livestream…!!
…What.
What do you mean?
There probably aren’t many archives left online of the Fujishima Megumi streams from when I was a first year.
After my injury, I went ahead and unlisted all of them. But there was another reason why I did that. I’m sure you understand why?
No, I don’t mean that…
That’s right. They sucked so bad that I personally sealed them away.
Why’d we have to go all the way out here!? Couldn’t we have just done this on your PC at home!?
I could’ve punched a hole through my PC! I rented out this screen so I could prepare myself!
Your poor wallet!
Megu-chan… how about I handle your finances?
We can talk about that later. C’mon, it’s starting!
Ah, um… hiiii (ehehe~)
Ugh…
Hey, is this thing on~? I’m not really good with technology, you see~
God, stop with that stupid laugh! You know you use your phone six hours a day, idiot!
Calm down, Megu-chan!
But, you know~ I’ve never done this whole solo streaming thing before~ I had some time to kill, so I figured, why not~? Something like that~ (ehehe~)
Talk like a normal person! Take this stream seriously!
Megu-chan! Megu-chan!
This… is so much more cringe than I thought…
And the worst part is this whole, “Oh, I’m actually an actress~☆” attitude! Waving that around like some kinda shield against criticism!
Why are we even watching this!?
Ah~ You’re probably wondering why I decided to start streaming~? My senior wouldn’t stop talking about how I’d be a natural at this~
So I went ahead and signed up for this SIC app~... But what’s the point of all of this?
I’m used to being surrounded by really big cameras~ How’s this tiny little thing supposed to capture my good side~☆
That’s such a wild thing to say… No wonder you unlisted these…
Oh, well~ Of course I’d be a natural at this, though~ I’m great at talking, and I’ve got the face of an angel, riiight~!
…You’re wrong.
Megu-chan…
That’s not why Sachi-senpai said I’d be a natural at streaming.
It’s true that I became an actress because I wanted to captivate everyone. I thought that I needed to throw around all my cuteness because of that, but…
But as soon as I started streaming, I realized it. I wanted to be close to everyone, to really hear them all having fun.
And the same is true for school idols.
Everyone expresses how much fun they’re having to school idols.
They call to us, yelling out our names.
We get their responses in real time. We give them our love, and they give us theirs in return. I really get that now.
And that’s so much fun. Because of that, school idols became my “dream”.
So the thing is~, I actually had my first live performance just a little bit ago~
Maybe you aren’t taking this stream seriously right now, but you probably already understand. Sachi-senpai taught you about my new dream.
…Yeah.
Your hands are really warm. Have you gotten enough power?
Yeah, more than enough!
You’ve gotta make up for making me like this! You better be ready to cry your eyes out, Ogami Sachi!
Alright! Let’s go home, Ruri-chan! We don’t need this nobody anymore!
Wait, but didn’t you rent out this place for two hours!?
I bet I can write this thing now! Oh, my, my!
But the thing is, the Megu-chan I know’s always been like this… Oh…
Gah! Sachi-senpai!?
Sachi (Stream):
Yo, gotta be there for my junior’s first stream, right~? I was kinda worried about you.
Hold it! Do you know who I am!?
Of course I know. After all, the Fujishima Megumi I love and admire runs full speed ahead, even if it means leaving everyone else behind.
Sachi-senpai. From here on, it’s my turn to support Megu-chan’s dream. So…
Thank you for making Megu-chan even cooler than she used to be!
Ruri-chan! Hurry up! I’ve been waiting for you!
Yeah! Let’s make the best lyrics ever!
No doubt about it!
