Mikoto: What do you mean, “the strongest diva”?! (hands on hips)

"Tonight?" Mikoto looked at Kuroko beside her.

"Ah—" Kuroko remembered as well. "Didn't we arrange to go shopping with Uiharu and Saten today?"

Because a new dessert shop had opened.

Arisa Meigo looked a little apologetic. "Then I—"

"—Perfect. We can introduce Uiharu and Saten to you too." Mikoto interrupted Arisa Meigo.

"Huh?"

"Saten and Uiharu would be very interested in this kind of audition too, wouldn't they?" Mikoto looked at Kuroko beside her.

Kuroko caught on immediately and smiled faintly. "That's right. If Saten and Uiharu see you, they'll definitely be very happy."

More than happy, really.

"Whoa! You're that wandering singer from the urban legend who brings people happiness?!"

Saten Ruiko, who was extremely interested in urban legends, practically plastered herself against Arisa Meigo the moment she saw her.

"Come on, Saten. Can't you see you're making her uncomfortable?" Chunibyo Shirai teased from the side.

"Uiharu—you just don't get it." Saten Ruiko shook her head as she recounted the information she had dug up. "Apparently, if you hear this wandering singer's music, you'll become incredibly happy for the next few days."

"That kind of thing can't be very likely, can it?"

Uiharu seriously doubted the authenticity of this urban legend.

"Yeah, it's just an urban legend. Besides, I'm not some wandering singer. My name is Arisa Meigo, and I'm a student at Kirigaoka Girls' Academy."
