School Idol Festival Journal Log SEASON TWO – #31

The exciting weekend has finally came, and the students in Shinonome Academy are already having a festival event. And then, the girls who are walking in the campus are talking about it.

“Great! We can’t believe that we are the hosting school!”

“Our school is currently hosting this Fan Thanksgiving Festival Event this year!”

“Yeah, and this Event is about showcasing School Idols, and the video games about School Idols.”

“Girls, where do you want to go next?”

“Ah, I know! We can go to the auditorium! I want to see some players who had qualified for the final round of the national tournament!”

“I see. To whom you girls are cheering for?”

“For me. I guess it’s Hyoshiro Kiriyama.”

“That guy? He may be a champ, but inside, he’s a total sucker!”

“A total sucker? Maybe he is just having issues with the community, that’s all.”

“I think this new player, Takayoshi Kitagawa, is also a good player. He may be not as good as Hyoshiro, but he got also potential in becoming this year’s champion.”

“Whoever he is, just remember that we should give love and support to these competing players! It is just the same as we give love and support to the School Idol Groups that we follow!”

“Girls, I think it is already beginning now! Let’s go inside!”

And then, these girls from Shinonome Academy are running quick to get inside the school auditorium.

The campus itself is hosting this kind of event. It is a yearly event, where they showcase everything about School Idols — much like a convention or an expo, rather. This event is called as the School Idol Fan Thanksgiving Festival.

The Idol Chasers are moving around the Shinonome Academy campus.

“So you guys entered and visited our school for the first time?” asked Chiharu.

“Actually, yes…” said Aika. “This school is so amazing!”

“It seems that they are showing everything here,” said Takayoshi. “It’s ranging from merchandise, video games, and um… Eye-candy-appealing School Idol live shows.”

“I hope that I could find my another Yohane plushie doll here!” said Sho.

“I can’t believe that they have events like this,” said Komari. “And they were usually held at every girls’ high school campus… But not all, at least.”

“A festive event of School Idols, huh?” said Gen. “Maybe looked so interesting, but let me take myself a time to explore.”

“Lierre and Mrs. Saki may be not here today, but they were just observing us on what we do!”

“And then, we should be extra vigilant! For the Black Lace Ribbons may be around creeping along with us!”

“Ah, just like my mother has said. Anyway, I have to go now. I am going to prepare myself for the upcoming match today at the auditorium! Make sure to watch for me, okay?”

“Sure! Good luck in winning, Taka-Bro!”

“Go for it! And winning in a national tournament is just like winning a LoveLive! Event!”

“I think we should start splitting up here. But then, just beware of the Black Lace Ribbons’ sudden attack. I shall tell you guys immediately if I have sensed something abnormal!”

And so, when the Idol Chasers are about to split their group, Komari said, “Be sure to use those earpieces equipped to your ears! Just remember that when you see something suspicious, then try to use it and communicate!”

“Thanks, Komari!” said Chiharu, “Alright, let’s go, Idol Chasers!”

“S.I.F. !!” They replied. And then, they had finally split their group.

Chiharu meets with her friends along the way. And then, she finally meets Haruka Konoe and her School Idol Group.

“Haruka, what’s up?”

“I am okay, Chiharu!”

“Did your big sister’s sleep-hug powers give you motivation?”

“Yeah, of course! I am filled with excitement today in being a part of this Fan Thanksgiving Festival Event!”

“Are you going to perform on the live stage today?”

“Yep! And be sure to watch our live performance this time, okay!”

“Like I said, we are definitely going to watch your live performance — right here, today! We will be looking forward into that!”

“Thank you, Chiharu! See you later!”

As Haruka’s group have left, Chiharu’s earpiece have beeped, receiving a call transmission. And so, Chiharu has answered the call.

Aika has visited an area where some costumes used by the famous School Idols from the past are being displayed there.

“Wow, these costumes are so pretty! At least, I have them for reference to be used for my new upcoming costume!”

Aika has looked at that MIRAI TICKET costume which is displayed on that area. A few seconds later, her earpiece communicator has beeped, and Aika decides to answer it.

Gen is walking around the hall. He kept walking until he has ended up in a booth, showcasing the rhythm video game that Takayoshi is playing.

He is seeing some icons going through the line, and they were popped out by tapping. And when he understands the flow of the game, he said, “Let me try playing it.”

And so, he picked up a song to play with. He first tried the easiest difficulty. When he has finished the song, he said, “This one is easy.”

And then, he tried playing the hardest difficulty. It seems that Gen was able to follow with the rhythm icons, and was able to tap properly in a timely manner. Finally, he finished the difficult song in a Full Combo Finish. And the exhibitors were surprised and said, “Wow, that was amazing! You just landed a Full Combo Finish! Hooray!”

“It’s fun playing this game, somehow. Maybe I can play along with this, next time.”

After that, his earpiece communicator has beeped, and he answered it.

And finally, the last scene goes to Sho and Komari. Komari was finding on where did Sho went, and said, “Oh come on… You are just like a kid who is lost in a crowd! Now, where did he go?”

When Komari is about to use her earpiece communicator, she finally saw Sho standing while two girls are talking to him.

“Ara… You do love collecting School Idol figures and merch!” said the Girl A.

“Be sure to watch our live show later! Bye!” said the Girl B.

“Oh, thank you! Bye girls!” said Sho as he saw the two girls leaving.

Komari finally come closer, and talks to Sho.

“With that appearance of yours, I am sure that the School Idols will come closer to you like magnets!”

“Oh, don’t say that! It’s embarrassing…”

“But remember. Do you know the rules about meeting with idols?”

“Well… Yep.”

“Rule number one: Don’t flirt with an idol, even if they are trying to flirt with you.”

“Ah… Okay. But then, where did you read that rule?”

“Of course! I am reading a history book about School Idols, at the time when I am still an Interdimensional Policewoman. And I am just like Lierre, after all, but not exactly as of what is she doing.”

“I am looking everywhere in this hall, yet I can’t find any Yohane plush doll, darn…”

“Don’t worry, you can finally find it soon! Just believe with your Yohane-sama’s words!”

“I see… Thanks! Do you want to walk along with me?”

“Of course! Let’s see… Where we should go next?”

And then, finally, their earpiece communicators have beeped and they heard it. After that, they immediately begin to move out and run.

The weekend today is exciting! Since there are some stuffs announced for this week, from the respective School Idol Groups, what are those to encounter in the future?

In the auditorium of the Shinonome Academy campus, the audience are waiting and they were excited to see the players in action today.

And the announcer said, “Welcome to the national tournament finals of this School Idol Fan Thanksgiving Festival Event! Today, we have our four finalists who will be competing today to become this year’s champion!”

And then, the fans are already cheering in their seats.

At the backstage, Takayoshi is meditating and is well-focused for the finals. He has learned everything of what he has learned from his past experiences, as a rhythm game player.

Finally, his long-awaited rival has shown up to him.

“Congratulations in making to the finals spot, Takayoshi Kitagawa!” said him. “You are known as Takamin, in your Player Name.”

“Yeah,” said Takayoshi. “And it’s a pleasure to meet and challenge a champion like you, Hyogane, a.k.a. Hyoshiro Kiriyama!”

“Finally, I can get to challenge a challenger like you. Don’t underestimate my rhythm gaming skills!”

“It doesn’t matter. So as long as your arrogance is still ahead of you, I doubt that you could snatch your victory easily!”

“Haha… Keep in mind that I have these two on my side. And they shall be competing along with us!”

And then, Takayoshi’s own former friends, Seiba and Mitsu, have shown up.

“Surprised? I think we are ready to become champions!”

“Takayoshi, let’s compete! I think this national tournament finals shall be the fun place for us!”

“It’s all thanks to Hyoshiro for training us, though.”

“Generally, we don’t think that you could last against us in the first round.”

And then, Hyoshiro made final words to Takayoshi, and said, “Just keep cool in playing this finals very well, Takayoshi.”

“Sure thing! I am just wanting a fun game, and that’s all!”

Finally, the three has left him.

When they have left, this is the time that Takayoshi has used his earpiece communicator to contact the other Idol Chasers.

Meanwhile, outside of the school campus, Lierre observes it. And then, she noticed a purple barrier formed around the school. And then, she said, “Finally, the Black Lace Ribbons are here. I just hope that Chiharu and others are safe inside. I can’t get in there easily through that barrier.”

And back at the maid cafe, in the Idol Chasers HQ, Saki is observing the Shinonome campus being enclosed with a transparent, purple barrier.

“It looks like they had made their move now, isn’t it?” the girl named Rika Kamiya said, as she was also inside the HQ with Saki watching.

“It seems,” said Saki. “Looks like we just wait for these evil rivals to come out soon… Really soon.”

“Are you sure that they are okay inside?”

“Don’t worry. The School Idols whom these Idol Chasers have met are already in their side to fight.”

“What did you mean by that statement?”

“Their bonds shall never be broken. And it is their bonds that makes them always together. Remember that our rivals shall never win, if they are just thinking about themselves.”

“Okay. Let’s just hope that their School Idol Fan Thanksgiving Festival Event is just safe and sound.”

“Mikako. We shall be meeting face-to-face, really soon! And this is going to be an exciting meetup!”
