♪ Good morning to a wonderful morning

♪ Ah~, it’s the start of another wonderful day~♪
Morning, everyone~!
G-good morning.
By the way, your performance was really nice, Kaho-san.
Huh? You think so, Sayaka-chan?
Of course, I really mean it. I’m glad we can be school idols together, Kaho-san.
Yeah, me too!
After all, you’re the first friend I made at this school, Sayaka-chan. Ehehe~.
W-what’s so funny?
Nothing. See, back in middle school, I had a really strict curfew. I had to go home right away after school and didn’t have any close friends. So I’m really happy now.
Ah!
Let’s be school idols forever, Sayaka-chan! For the rest of our lives!
Isn’t that a little extreme!?
To make it official…
Starting today, I, Hinoshita Kaho, will be formally joining the School Idol Club! I’m looking forward to being a part of the club!
As club president, I, Otomune Kozue, would like to welcome you to the club, Hinoshita-san.
Welcome, Kaho. Ah~, you must be glad, Kozu.
What do you mean by that, Tsuzuri?
Hm? I mean, every single day you would always talk about how you wanted Kaho to join the club…
…Ahem! Right, right! If more people joined the club, then we could expand the scope of our club activities!
We’d also have a bigger club budget, so having more members would only be a good thing!
I’m Murano Sayaka.
I have yet to participate in a live show, so I may have to ask Kaho-san about things like the proper mindset to have for them.
The trick is… to have fun, Sayaka-chan!
Oh, well said. You have a dazzling smile, Hinoshita-san.
Ehehe, I might still be a sprout, but I’m going to blossom soon!
And soon after that, I’m going to make everyone in this school blossom into smiles!
I agree. However, even if making this school fun is important to you…
More than anything, you should be having fun.
Therefore, I would like you to start by discovering things you enjoy.
Things I enjoy…!!
U-understood! I love fun things, so I’ll do my best!
Oh, but I…
In that case, I think I might have a selfish request to make, Kozue-senpai…
It’s alright. I don’t mind having to look after you.
Why are you looking at me?
You know what they say: the more troublesome someone is, the cuter they are.
I see. So am I cute?
Anyway, please feel free to ask us anything, Hinoshita-san. If it helps you blossom, no request is too much.
Kozue-senpai~!
Oh, my!
Okay, then I’ve decided what I want to do! I want to perform! I want to perform a whole bunch!
Oh, is that what you enjoy?
Yeah! That performance the other day felt so nice!
And everyone watching my performance was smiling so brightly!
It was like looking at a garden of flowers in full bloom!
Right, then let’s do it. School idols are meant to perform, after all.
Yeah! Let’s go all out and bring smiles to this school!
Okay, let’s decide on a date and time so we can reserve the courtyard.
Where should I ask?
First of all, you have to go to the staff room to handle the necessary procedures.
Alright! I’ll be heading off then!
I’m back!
Oh, that was quick. So? Were you able to reserve the courtyard?
Yeah!
Well done. Now then, until the day of the performance, we should practice as much as we can.
Getting the whole courtyard wasn’t possible, though, so I reserved the outer perimeter of it for a whole week!
That way, starting tomorrow, we can perform everyday!
……A whole week…!?
…You want to perform for that long?
Yeah!
Why a whole week, though?
That’s obvious! Because it would be fun!
Thanks, everyone!
I can see all your smiles from up here!
I love Hasunosora!
School idols are the best!
When she said she wanted to “perform a whole bunch”, she meant it literally, huh...
But for someone who was considering withdrawing from this school, finding something like this to be passionate about is a good thing.
Anyway, it feels really nice to sing as loud as I can~!
…It is a good thing, right…?
