"It's okay for me to exercise regularly at Archery Club, but Honoka and Kotori must also have the physical strength to sing and dance to their heart's content."
"Yes, idols are also very hard-working."
"Yeah, so..."
--View cutting line---
"So you decided to stick to your morning jogs here from now on, but why do you want me too?!"
In the morning, Senba Gari was running on the stairs of Kanda Shrine with a timer in his hand, accompanying Honoka Kosaka and the others in school sportswear.
"Ha... ha... ha... five trips back and forth... it's so hard..."
"Ha... ha... ha... I can't move my feet anymore..."
"Will it? I don't think so, and Umi is not as tired as you."
Then when Senba Gari and Honoka Kosaka ran to the top of the stairs, Honoka Kosaka and Minami Kotori ran up one after another, and they all sat down on the ground and gasped. Umi Sonoda only gasped lightly, and Senba Gari.
"Ha... ha... why... Teacher Senba, you... can't even breathe... ha..." Honoka Kosaka gasped while looking at the person who was not even breathing, and only shed some sweat on his body.
"Want to know? Yes, as long as you can escape alive after being chased by various boulder traps, various potholes and collapse traps, and being chased by a large group of unknown ferocious beasts for ten years."
"Teacher Senba, what have you ever experienced?! Isn't this too scary?!" Umi Sonoda was a little scared after hearing Senba Gari's words.
"Well~ just get used to it, get used to it."
Senba Gari looked at the three panting girls in front of him with a calm expression and thought to himself.
'Well, actually it's because my physique has been strengthened by spiritual power. Although the most important thing is that idiot dad with cheap hands, Umi Sonoda belongs to Archery Club, so her physical strength is the best among the three, and Honoka That girl scratched my arm and it hurt last time, so I just need to get used to it. But what's more troublesome is Kotori. This girl has been weak since she was a child. If she can persist up to this point, it's almost her limit.'
"You guys." A somewhat familiar voice came from behind Senba Gari and Honoka Kosaka.
"Vice president... classmate?"
"It's you, you're here to work again." Senba Gari and Honoka Kosaka said at the same time.
Nozomi Tojo is wearing a witch costume, her usual double braids are now tied into a ponytail, and she is holding a broom in her hand.
"What's that outfit like?" Honoka Kosaka asked, pointing to hope's clothes.
"Those are costumes exclusively for shrine maidens, except for a certain Kohakui, of course." Senba Gari reminded from the side.
"Well, I'm helping here. The shrine is a spiritual place that gathers various consciousnesses. Teacher Senba, the four of you, since you are using the stairs here, why don't you go and pay homage?"
"I don't need it, you go ahead." Senba Gari refused.
So after hearing Nozomi Tojo's opinion, Honoka Kosaka walked to the shrine very happily, closed their eyes, raised their hands in front of their chests, clapped them, and expressed their wishes.
"I hope the first LIVE goes well."
"Hope it goes well~"×2
"Those three people are really serious." Nozomi Tojo xi looked at them from behind with pleased eyes.
"Yes, you are indeed very serious." Senba Gari walked up to Nozomi Tojo and said.
"Teacher Senba, are you really not going to pay homage?" Nozomi Tojo looked at Senba Gari with some confusion.
"No, after all, even God can't do anything about the wish I pray for."

Back at school, the three Honoka Kosaka did not go back to their classrooms, but walked to the first-grade class.
"I'm sorry." Honoka Kosaka said hello first.
Everyone in the class focused on the three of them. Honoka Kosaka walked up to the podium and said to everyone.
"Hello everyone in the first grade, I am the school idol, Honoka Kosaka."
"..."
There was no noise in the class, just some strange noises.
"Strange? No one knows?"
Umi Sonoda, who had been keeping an awkward expression at the back, couldn't help but said, "Of course it is, right?!"
"Speaking of which, where is the child that Honoka mentioned who is good at singing?"
Minami Kotori Before he could finish speaking, a student opened the classroom door and entered the class.
And that student is exactly the Maki Nishikino that Honoka is looking for.
"Ah, it's you, can you excuse me?" Honoka Kosaka ran to her, and Maki Nishikino looked at her with strange eyes.
"Me?"
"I refuse." Honoka Kosaka pulled the classmate to the rooftop.
"Please, I want to ask you to help me compose music."
"I refuse!" Maki Nishikino rejected Honoka Kosaka in a higher tone.
"Uh, does it mean that I can only sing but not compose?" It's not a provocation, it's just a simple inquiry.
"Uh!" Maki Nishikino felt unhappy when he was questioned. "How could it not be possible? It's just that I don't want to do that kind of thing."
"It's so that the school can gather students! If we can gather students through songs."
"I'm not interested." After saying that, the girl turned towards the door and walked downstairs.
"Saying 'I refuse'... is just like Umi."
"That's a normal reaction."
"Wow, it's obviously rare for Umi to create such good lyrics..." Honoka Kosaka took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket.
Those are the lyrics that Umi Sonoda spent one night writing
"Uh! That won't work!" Umi Sonoda immediately rushed to Honoka Kosaka and tried to snatch the lyrics.
"Why! Once you've composed the song, let's all sing it together!"
"Even though it is like that..."
At this time, the door was opened again, and the person who walked out was the student council president, Eli Ayase.
"Uh, student council president?"
"Can we... talk?"
-Time dividing line
"That is to say, when a and b are real numbers, the form a+bi is a complex number. For example, 3i+..."
In class, Honoka Kosaka did not sleep at the table as usual, but his notebook was also empty.
She was thinking, but she was not thinking about the math problems in class.
"Is it counterproductive..." She remembered what the student council president had said to her on the rooftop.
"In this school where there has never been a school idol, what would you think if you tried it but found that it still didn't work?"
'I don't want this school to disappear either. If you really want to do that, don't think about it so rashly.'
"Maybe." Honoka Kosaka said to himself depressedly, "Am I thinking about things too simply?"
"Have you finally noticed?" During the lunch break, still sitting under the old tree in the school, Umi Sonoda said what he had always wanted to say.
"But I didn't do it for fun. The arrangements on the form proposed by Umi Sonoda were all carried out step by step, because this still made my back and legs hurt."
"Indeed, I know you are trying hard, but it is impossible not to understand and deal with the problems raised by the student council president."
"That's right... there's only less than a month left."
"If you want to hold a LIVE, you can't decide on the song yet."
"Now we don't have time to find a composer, so we have to choose songs sung by other school idols." Minami Kotori and Umi Sonoda are also worried about future problems.
"That's right..." Minami Kotori was also a little unwilling.
"Hey, that's right! Where's Teacher Senba? If he's here, there might be something we can do." Honoka Kosaka suddenly discovered that Senba Gari was not with them.
"Brother Hunt? He seemed to have answered some phone call just now. Then he ran out in a panic." Minami Kotori said at the side.
"That's it..."
At the same time, on the road, Senba Gari was riding Silver Phantom, speeding on the road, and then he asked Silver Phantom.
"Phantom, are you really sure that birdman has appeared again?"
[Yes master, I am sure, and...]
"And?"
[The place where the other party is located is a long-abandoned factory, and its coordinates have always stayed in place. It seems that it is deliberately waiting for our arrival.]
Speaking of this, Senba Gari's brows began to frown tightly under his helmet.

Honoka Kosaka came to the bulletin board and looked at the small box below the poster soliciting group names.
'I hope so...' Honoka Kosaka prayed.
"How's it going? How's the practice going?" Hideko, Mika, Fumika walked over from the side
"If there's anything we can do live, let us know." Hideko said.
"Signatures, sorting out guests, etc., there are a lot of things to do, right?" Mika, who had overestimated Honoka Kosaka, said slightly excitedly.
"Eh? Really?"
"Well, because Honoka aren't you working hard for school?"
"Everyone in the class said they want to cheer for you."
"That's it..." Wonderful feelings came to Honoka Kosaka's heart.
"Come on!"
"Thank you! Bye~" Honoka Kosaka said goodbye to them very gratefully, and then picked up the box.
"Huh? Oh!"
Honoka Kosaka was surprised to find out and hurried back to the classroom. Minami Kotori and Umi Sonoda were waiting for news about him.
With a bang, Honoka Kosaka opened the classroom door suddenly, startling Minami Kotori and Umi Sonoda.
"Honoka, what are you doing?"
"Look, look!" Honoka Kosaka trotted up to Umi Sonoda and the others and shook the pink piece of paper on his finger.
"Did you put anything in there?"
"Really?"
"Yes! One piece!" Honoka Kosaka excitedly held the pink piece of paper in his hand and spun it around on the ground.
Minami Kotori and Umi Sonoda hurriedly ran to Honoka, and Honoka opened the pink piece of paper, which read.
"U'S?" Honoka Kosaka said strangely.
"I think it should be 'μ's'." Umi Sonoda explained.
"Ah, soap?" Honoka Kosaka said half-understanding.
"No." Umi Sonoda explained, "It should be named after the goddess that appears in mythology, right?"
"I think it's very good, I like it very much." It seems that Minami Kotori likes this group name very much.
Honoka Kosaka lifted the piece of paper as if checking money "μ's..."
Honoka Kosaka looked at the paper with longing eyes, "Well! From today on, we are μ's!"

In the corridor after school, Hanayo Koizumi packed up his belongings and prepared to leave.
"I've been practicing on the rooftop."
"I didn't expect that there are people in our school who are school idols."
The voices coming from others made Hanayo Koizumi feel very confused. He obviously wanted to do it, but he didn't dare to do it.
"The flower girl is going back, meow~" Rin Hoshizora happened to come over.
