"Ah? Me, I have recorded the growth of your idols. Oops, maybe you will become famous that day, and this will become something that everyone will rush for in the future..." Senba Gari's words just hit the mark for some people.
"Really, really, let Rin take a look... Wow, so beautiful, meow." Rin Hoshizora walked next to Senba Gari and looked at the image in the camera, then praised.
"Eh! Is it true?! Wow, it's true." Honoka Kosaka also came over to join in the fun and said.
"Hey, you have to take good pictures for me, Nico doesn't want to disappoint fans." Yazawa Nico seemed to have achieved something good for Fantasy, so he said to Senba Gari Jin Ming with some excitement.
"Yes! I understand, sir, can we start now? 'Sir'." As he said that, the corners of Senba Gari's mouth curved a little, "The plan goes well, if those girls dare to be distracted and do other things during my class time in the future, especially Honoka, hehe."
"Oh~ It seems that Honoka and the others have fallen into Brother Hunter's trap." Minami Kotori looked helplessly at Senba Gari's smile that showed the success of the prank.
"Okay! Everyone, try your best and try it again!"
"But..."
"Yes!"
When Maki Nishikino originally wanted to say something, her voice was buried by other people's voices, so she had to give up.
"NicoNicoNi~" The six people did it again.

"How?"
"Okay, don't worry about me doing my job."
"Okay, one last time."
"NicoNicoNi~"
At this moment, Yazawa Nico smiled happily, tears welling up in his eyes. This scene was captured by Senba Gari.
[Click--]
Looking at the image in the camera, Senba Gari said in a voice that only he could hear, "I don't know if it will be snapped up by others. However, this is originally a record of idol growth for you, but... it really needs some embarrassing things to be perfect."
In order to prevent everyone from seeing his appearance, Yazawa Nico immediately turned around and wiped the corners of his eyes with his hands.
"No way at all, I have to do it 30 times again!"
"Ah--?!" Rin Hoshizora shouted unhappily.
"Don't complain, this is just the beginning~" Honoka Kosaka said encouragingly, "Senior Nico, I'm begging you!"
Yazawa Nico, who was standing in front with his back to them, wiped the corners of his eyes again, then quickly turned around and looked at everyone. At this moment, a little flash of light was flying in the air.
"Okay! Start from the beginning! Let's do it!" Yazawa Nico, with full firepower, jumped up high, as if he had escaped from everything.
Photography in progress
Late at night, in a deserted street in Kanda, a pitch-black humanoid ant was slowly approaching the door of a store. It had slightly strong limbs, and the limbs were somewhat similar to armor wrapped around arthropods, slender black tentacles, dark red insect compound eyes and a huge black mouthpart as sharp as a scissor. Just when it reached out to open the door.
"Pfft." A silver blade pierced its neck, and then cut it to the right. Finally, jet-black blood sprayed out from its neck as a huge ant's head fell, and then it fell. Then as the black mist dissipated, a normal-sized decapitated ant appeared on the ground.
"What's going on in the last few nights? There are always alienated Mlorthas popping up, and there's no Seed of Original Sin. Tsk, that's really strange." Divine, who was in the form of Fenrir (Fenrir) that caused the separation of the corpses just now, said with some distress.
At this time, a flying ant-shaped Mlortha that had been hiding above Divine quickly flew behind Divine while Divine was still distracted, and at the same time opened its sharp mouthparts and pointed at Divine's neck.
"Tsk."
"Crack." The sound of a body being separated sounded, but the sound was not the sound of Divine's body being separated, but the sound of the flying ant-shaped Mlortha being cut in half by Silver Phantom who arrived in time.
[Master, please don't always get distracted at this time.]Silver Phantom complained a little.
"Haha... I'm sorry, but Phantom, please do it right. Look, this guy is not dead yet."
At the same time, Divine pointed at Silver Phantom, the flying ant-type Mlortha who had already been broken into two halves but was still struggling to drag her upper body closer to Divine with her hands. Then Divine squatted down, then grabbed the flying ant-type Mlortha's head with her left hand and raised Shadow Moon Short Blade's right hand.
"Pfft."
Shadow Moon Short Blade cut off the flying ant type Mlortha's head, and the dark blood dripped to the ground. Then the flying ant type Mlortha's headless body fell to the ground and shook slightly before turning into black mist and returning to the normal size of an ant. At the same time, the flying ant type Mlortha's head in Divine's hand and the lower body of the flying ant type Mlortha at Silver Phantom's feet also changed back to the size of a normal ant.
"Huh...Phantom, have you found out where those ants came from?" Divine asked Silver Phantom beside him.
[No, and I detected that the Original Sin Power of these ant Mlortha is less than one-tenth of the normal Mlortha, and those ant Mlortha seem to be running here with a purpose, as if they appeared for something, so I guess...]
"'Queen Ant', they are for the 'Queen Ant', just like the ecosystem of ants, so the problem can only be solved by finding the 'Queen Ant', but the important thing is where the 'Queen Ant' is." Divine interrupted Silver Phantom and then said the next words of Silver Phantom.
[I don't know, something seems to be interfering with my detection. I can't detect where the 'ant queen' is. Sorry, master.]
"Forget it, it's not your fault, there will always be a way. Let's go home."
However, far away from Divine and the others, in an abandoned industrial manufacturing plant, thousands of densely packed ants and flying ants, Mrortha, were surrounding Mrortha, a black human-shaped ant with a very huge white abdomen, but its body was several times smaller than its abdomen, and it was Divine and Silver Phantom has been looking for the 'Queen Ant', and at the same time, a pitch-black insect egg was discharged from the end of the 'Queen's' abdomen and fell into the open space. Then a small crack began to appear on the surface of the pitch-black egg. As the crack expanded, a newborn ant Mlortha broke out of the shell, and then another pitch-black egg began to appear.
--Time dividing line--
"That..."
Honoka Kosaka, who usually talks a lot and is extremely excited when seeing new things, was speechless when facing the camera.
"Okay, please smile."
"Eh?... Hehe." After receiving the reminder, Honoka Kosaka put on a relatively normal smile.
"Then please pose for victory." Another voice came from behind the camera.
"Eh?!" Honoka Kosaka took a few steps back a little embarrassed, "Then..."
Then, Honoka Kosaka rotated his right hand in front of him in a circle. When his arm was perpendicular to the ground, Honoka Kosaka bent his hand and made a fist. He supported his waist with his left hand and showed a firm look on his face.
"This is the leader of μ's who was born in the Otonokizaka Academy, Honoka Kosaka." As the action was completed, the narration began, but Honoka's face twitched, and then he immediately knelt down on one knee, with his hands flat, his left hand straightened and his right hand bent in a victory pose.
"Very good! OK~" Rin Hoshizora called away the camera.
"Um... is this?" Minami Kotori asked next to him.
Rin Hoshizora didn't answer Minami Kotori's question, and pointed the camera directly at Umi Sonoda, "Then the next one is, senior Umi, right?"
"Huh? Eh?!" Umi, who was sitting in the shade of a tree, looked at the camera in panic, "What are you doing!"
Rin Hoshizora zoomed in on the camera, and Umi Sonoda's shy cheek appeared on the screen next to the camera.
"Wait a minute!" Umi Sonoda shook his hands in panic at the camera, "It would be too rude to start filming all of a sudden!"
"Oh~ That shy look is pretty good, oh ho ho~" Rin Hoshizora shouted excitedly while holding the camera and shaking his body.
"Ah, I'm sorry." Nozomi Tojo explained behind Rin with a microphone. "Actually, it's because the student union is making a club promotional video, so I came to various clubs to collect information."
Rin: "Not bad, not bad, the photo was good~"
"Collect materials?" Minami Kotori tilted his head.
"Hey, it's interesting, right?" Rin Hoshizora turned the camera to Minami Kotori and said.
"School idol activities are very popular recently. I think this is not a bad thing for μ's." After Nozomi Tojo finished explaining, Rin Hoshizora turned the camera to Umi Sonoda who was complaining.
"I, I don't want to be like this! Being filmed like this by the camera."
"Collecting information..." Another voice came, and the camera was pointed at Honoka Kosaka. "This is so full of idol feeling~"
Honoka Kosaka clasped his hands on his chest, twisting his body happily.
"Hey, Honoka..." Umi Sonoda came over and persuaded.
"Okay! Umi, after reading that, you can remember the combination μ's!"
"Yes, there is no reason to refuse the interview." Minami Kotori agreed.
"Kotori!"
Although it is indeed beneficial to say so, it is still difficult for Umi Sonoda's character to face the camera.
"They said that as long as they accepted the interview, they could lend us a camera as a gift."
"This way you can shoot pv and stuff, right?" Nozomi Tojo added.
"Pv?" Honoka Kosaka asked unclearly.
"Look, μ's video was shot when there were only three members, right?" Rin Hoshizora put down the camera and said.
"Yeah." Honoka Kosaka nodded, then put his finger on his lower lip and continued. "I still don't know who shot that video."
"Umi, you also said, 'It's almost time to write a new song,' right?" Minami Kotori looked at Umi Sonoda expectantly.
Then Honoka Kosaka also squeezed over and cast an expectant look, "It's agreed, right?"
"Uh..." Umi Sonoda's eyebrows twitched and he said awkwardly, "Really!"
"Very good! Then I'll inform the others." Honoka Kosaka ran towards the teaching building and waved goodbye to Rin Hoshizora and Nozomi Tojo.
"Wait for me~"
"Hey, Honoka!"
Minami Kotori and Umi Sonoda also followed.
Looking at the three people walking away, Nozomi Tojo smiled happily again, as if he had foreseen something again.
--Scene switching
Idol Research Club activity room
Nozomi: "The so-called school idols are students who need to take time out like professional idols. They have to go to class and are not allowed to leave early. Therefore, this happens occasionally. After eating lunch carefully... then immediately fall asleep, and then be discovered by the teacher~"
hope dubbed the clips recorded by the camera, and what the camera played was Honoka Kosaka's performance in school.
I dozed off in class in the morning, ate bread for lunch, and continued to sleep in class in the afternoon. After being discovered by the teacher, I was so surprised that I fell to the ground.
These clips were shown mercilessly in front of Honoka Kosaka.
That's right, in front of Honoka Kosaka.
Nozomi: "This is the academy idol~"
"Gu..." Looking at the video of himself being secretly filmed, Honoka Kosaka's eyebrows twitched desperately.
Nozomi: "Only 16 years old, Honoka Kosaka's true appearance."
"That's too real!" Honoka Kosaka slapped his hands on the table, propped himself up and complained to Nozomi Tojo opposite him, "By the way, when was this taken?"
"The photo was very good~Senior Kotori." Rin Hoshizora, who was sitting next to Nozomi Tojo, praised.
"Thank you~" Minami Kotori stroked his face with his hand a little shyly, "Sneak photos and so on really make people feel very nervous~"
"Kotori, why didn't I realize you had this attribute before? Ha--" Senba Gari, who had sneaked over to Idol Research Club to be lazy, said a little sleepily.
"Eh? It turned out to be Kotori, that's too much!"
"It's not because you are usually too laid back that you become like this." Umi Sonoda said the study habits of Honoka Kosaka next to him, "Next..."
"As expected of Umi!" Honoka Kosaka did not listen to what Umi Sonoda said, but looked at the video played by the camera.
Hearing his name, Umi Sonoda also curiously went over and watched the video.
At the beginning of the video, a clip of Umi Sonoda practicing alone at Archery Club was played.
"Concentrate on practicing archery." Honoka Kosaka commented seriously.
After releasing the arrow in his hand, Umi Sonoda exhaled and then looked around.
"Is this...?"
Umi Sonoda nodded to himself in the mirror next to him, and then smiled.
"Practice to show off a cute smile?"
Just as Minami Kotori finished speaking, there was a beep and the screen went black. Then Umi Sonoda blushed and blocked the empty screen with his hand.
"This is an invasion of other people's privacy!"
"Very good! In that case." Honoka Kosaka stood up and walked around in circles to the other side of Minami Kotori. There were three people's schoolbags on the table.
"Kotori's privacy is also..." Honoka Kosaka said as he opened Minami Kotori's school bag, "Huh? What is this?"
"Woo!" Minami Kotori immediately closed the zipper of the schoolbag, then hid the schoolbag behind himself and hid next to Umi Sonoda, "Hey hey hey..."
"Kotori What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing."
"But..."
"It's nothing, it's nothing."
Minami Kotori is like a child who bought snacks secretly and was almost discovered by his parents. He hid his things and explained casually.
"After the photos are taken, they will be handed over to people from various societies for inspection." Nozomi Tojo returned to the topic, "If there are any problems, just then..."
