School Idol Festival Journal Log 3rd Season – #26

Chiharu finally steps in front, and she talks straight to Mikako.

“Mikako! I know that your hatred towards School Idols are absolute. But violence and revenge can only make everything worse!”

“You don’t understand what I am feeling, you lousy student! I had been through with massive embarrassment and frustration, and you are still telling me to try again? What’s the point of trying again with effort, and at the end, you will fail?”

“It doesn’t matter! It is just you who is making your own drama!”

“Drama? I will show you what means of having a drama. I will show you how it’s done.”

Mikako snaps her fingers. Then, some tentacles appeared under the Idol Chasers. Though that some of them got captured, some of them have dodged and escaped.

Chiharu, Aika, Sho, Lierre, Mami, and Saki have been captured by those tentacles. And overtime, their energies are being drained.

Meanwhile, Komari and Gen were able to dodge and escape.

“HAHA!” laughed Mikako. “It’s just like reading a doujinshi manga!”

Komari isn’t wasting any time, and she tries to attack Mikako using her pistol. However, Antyla’s monster, Beteldra, has blocked in the way.

“Don’t forget about me in the scene, Komari Ohara!” said the arrogant Antyla.

“Shucks,” said the hopeless Komari. “Looks like we have been totally surrounded!”

When Lierre’s lifeforce energy is fading out, she used her remaining powers in order to do some action.

She used her Deport skill on Komari and said, “Komari, you must return to the present world. You must tell the School Idols that they should do a grand live show in the center of the city at high noon!”

Komari heard those words from Lierre. And so, she was teleported away from the scene.

Upon using the Deport skill, Lierre’s consciousness has faded out.

Gen is the only one standing, while seeing his friends captured by the Black Lace Ribbons.

“You have nowhere to go, shadow!” said Mitsu.

“In my opinion, it is either you join, or you die,” said Seiba.

“Just don’t play jokes, or you will be just like them!” said Eru.

“Just be nice, and you will be treated nice, also,” said Aru.

With no other choice, Gen has finally thought of a plan. Gen has finally made his face turn here. He then said, “Alright, let me be your servant this time, Black Lace Riboons.”

Everybody else were surprised about Gen’s face turn.

“No!” said Sho. “You just betrayed us!”

“I can do no harm,” said Gen. “So as long as we don’t do this so-called violence, then I can cooperate.”

“Alright,” said Mikako Kira to Gen. “You were just my former ally, too.”

Chiharu is almost fading out. She is just uttering words, saying, “Lierre… everyone… I want to save… everybody… I want to achieve my dream… Honoka…”

Back at the maid cafe, the Digitariel which was stuck into the wall has self-activated, and has finally made an operation. From there, it has teleported Chiharu out from the tentacles. And she was transported back to the maid cafe along with the Digitariel.

“I see,” said Mikako. “That brat has escaped again. How lucky she is.”

And so, the Idol Chasers were totally outrunned. Meanwhile, Gen Sakurauchi has finally joined the Black Lace Ribbons as an exchange for not hurting his friends with violence.

Finally, the Black Lace Ribbons returned to their own Parallel World, leaving Planet Eidos in minor ruins.

Meanwhile, the Eidonians, led by Dianthus, has arrived. But it was too late.

“Rhadamanthus,” said Dianthus. “Looks like the war is about to start soon!”

Back at the maid cafe, Chiharu finally looks at the Digitariel, which is finally detached from the wall. It is now floating around her, and it is somehow communicating within her feelings.

“Are you telling me,” said Chiharu to the Digitariel, “That I am able to handle you with Lierre’s absence?”

The Digitariel comes closer to Chiharu, telling her to grab it.

And so, Chiharu finally grabs on to the Digitariel, and she stated herself.

“I am Chiharu Umiboshi! I am a 3rd Year High Schooler from Shinonome Academy! I had become a School Idol to win the LoveLive! Contest!”

The surroundings around her momentarily flashed. And now, Chiharu is the new bearer of the Digitariel, which contained Lierre’s memories, and her own memories as well.

When she went outside of the maid cafe, she knows that she was already back to the present world without her friends, the Idol Chasers. But then, upon looking at the Digitariel, she reads on what to do next. Finally, she immediately walks forward going to somewhere.

“I mean LoveLive! Contest qualifiers is just around the corner!” said Komari.

“We can’t help ourselves, but to whine,” said Rika.

Suddenly, a door knock was heard. Takayoshi finally stands up, and he never hesitates to open the door. And then, he finally saw someone whom he has never seen for a long time.

“Chiharu? You’re back!” he said.

“Takayoshi? Komari?” said Chiharu as she saw the two of her friends. “Thank goodness!”
