"Then just don't sing. It's equivalent to giving up the right to be a leader."
One person was missing and Yazawa Nico, who had evil intentions, showed a confident smile, then squatted down with his back to everyone, and took out a small notebook from his arms, which contained the information he had obtained after confirming it many times.
"Hahaha, I had already thought that it would be like this. I have already found the easy-to-score songs, so there is no doubt about Leader's position..."
Yazawa Nico stood up immediately, "Okay, let's get started!"
"It's been a long time since I came to karaoke." Honoka Kosaka was holding a drink and chatting and laughing with Minami Kotori.
"What song did you choose~" Rin Hoshizora asked, pointing to the track on Hanayo Koizumi's lap.
"You guys have no sense of tension!" Yazawa Nico couldn't help complaining loudly after being ignored.
Ding--
The song selected by Umi Sonoda is finished.
"So shy~" Umi Sonoda walked away from the TV, and the screen started to calculate the score.
[93!]
High scores appear on the screen.
"Oh--" Everyone shouted in surprise, but only Yazawa Nico had a straight face.
"Umi is also 93 points!" Honoka Kosaka said.
Minami Kotori, who was sitting next to him, also recorded the scores in his notebook, "So everyone is above 90 points. After all, everyone is listening to it every day."
"Really, Maki-chan also gave me suggestions on things I didn't do well..." Hanayo Koizumi also said with a grateful tone.
"Although I didn't notice it, everyone performed very well." Rin Hoshizora also commented on everyone's usual training results.
Only Yazawa Nico turned the track in his hand, looked at everyone with a dark face and said softly.
"Are these people... all monsters?"
Since everyone's scores were evenly matched, Yazawa Nico took everyone to the dancing machine in the arcade.
"The next step is dancing. This time it won't be as simple as singing." Yazawa Nico ran onto the dance machine and started to introduce, "Let's use this dance machine."
However, the only people watching Yazawa Nico were Umi Sonoda and Hanayo Koizumi. Maki Nishikino was sitting on a stool playing with his hair with an indifferent expression on his face, while the others...
"Wow, Teacher Senba, you are so awesome, you caught another one." Honoka Kosaka said with some admiration.
Senba Gari is playing with the doll machine, while Honoka Kosaka, Minami Kotori, and Rin Hoshizora each hold a bunch of dolls that Senba Gari has just caught.
"So, can you guys feel a little nervous? And Teacher Senba, how skilled are you!?"
"Rin is good at sports but not very good at dancing."
"Okay, that's it, otherwise I'm afraid I'll be kicked out by the boss here if I continue. Let's continue."
"Whoa!"
Senba Gari took out a pink doll from under the claw machine, and then threw the doll to Yazawa Nico, and then Yazawa Nico caught the doll in a panic.
"How should we do this..." Hanayo Koizumi on the other side said with confusion as he had never touched a game console before.
After learning all this, Yazawa Nico once again showed a confident but evil smile, "I wonder how these guys with zero experience can get decent scores, haha~haha~ I couldn't help it that time it went ok, but this time..."
[~] Familiar music passed into Yazawa Nicole's ears, the sound of getting high scores on the dance machine.
"It's amazing!" Everyone watching the dance machine exclaimed in surprise.
"Huh?" Yazawa Nico immediately stood up and looked at the dancing machine.
Standing on the dance machine is Rin Hoshizora, who just said that he is not good at dancing.
"I don't know how it happened but I did it!"
Uh--
"It's really fun~" Minami Kotori recorded everyone's scores after dancing. The highest score was Rin's, with an AA grade, while Nico's was an A grade.
"But I still can't find a good feeling." Rin Hoshizora, who scored the highest score, also commented seriously.
Yazawa Nico was very speechless and stood in the distance with a ghostly look. Nico clenched his fists helplessly.
"Well, in that case!"
Yazawa Nico, who refused to give up after all, took everyone to the bustling street.
"When I can't decide whether to dance or sing, I finally decide based on my temperament."
"Temperament?"
"Yes, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most important thing for idols. Although some idols are clumsy in singing and dancing, they are still very attractive. This is because they have temperament!" Yazawa Nico emphasized the last sentence, and then continued to explain, "Having something that constantly attracts attention."
"I understand, it's just that people can't ignore it." Hanayo Koizumi, whose eyes were shining, said with great admiration.
"But, how can we compare that kind of thing?" Umi Sonoda asked a little embarrassed.
"Hehehe, use this." Yazawa Nico took out a μ's flyer from somewhere.
The flyer was the latest drawing by Minami Kotori. It had the Q-version heads of the seven members drawn on it. It was not colored due to copying problems.
Then, Yazawa Nico distributed the same number of leaflets to everyone except Senba Gari.
"As long as you have good temperament, people will pay attention to you even if you don't say anything. The person who sends out the most leaflets in an hour is the most good-tempered person."
"It always feels a bit tough..." Minami Kotori said with a wry smile.
"But it's very interesting, let's compete!" Since Honoka Kosaka used to help in the store and distribute flyers before the first live, he didn't find it difficult to compete in this kind of competition, but was full of interest.
Now that you have accepted the challenge, it means that everyone has fallen into the pit of Yazawa Nico again.
Yazawa Nico said softly behind their backs again.
"I will definitely overthrow you this time. This is because I have been very good at handing out leaflets since before. I just rely on this Nico smile~" Then Yazawa Nico showed a very scary expression.
"If you don't seek death, you won't die..." Senba Gari now looked at Yazawa Nico with pity in his eyes from a distance.
Then he took out his mobile phone and called up a few pictures on the phone. They were the pictures of the ancient inscriptions on the stone box that had previously placed 'Beast Soul Bracelet'.
Rin: "Please take a look~"
The game started immediately, and everyone found their respective positions and started handing out flyers.
Of course, Yazawa Nico would not miss any opportunity, so Nico captured the first target.
Then, Yazawa Nico jumped in front of a young man.
"NicoNicoNi~Please take a look at this Nico~" Yazawa Nico smiled and handed the boy a leaflet.
However, before Yazawa Nico could say anything, the young man walked around Yazawa Nico.
Yazawa Nico grabbed the boy's arm tightly, with a smile on his face that was obviously suppressing anger.
"Nico~"
--Time dividing line---
"Thank you~" Minami Kotori finished handing out the last flyer, and the other members ran over.
"Kotori is so awesome, all of them have been distributed."
"Uh... well, when I come back to my senses, my hands are empty."
At the same time, Yazawa Nico, who was standing across the intersection, was holding a large stack of undelivered flyers.
Yazawa Nico, who heard their conversation from a distance, accidentally had her cranial nerve pricked by a needle.
"This is unscientific. Times have changed!"
Then all the competitions were over, and everyone returned to the activity room.
Yazawa Nico sat in his seat and slowly turned to everyone with a dark face.
"The results are similar for everyone."
"Yes, Hanayo, who scored low in dance, sang very well, and Kotori, who scored low in karaoke, scored high when handing out flyers." Umi Sonoda counted the data on his notebook and found that everyone's scores were indeed about the same.
"In the end, everyone's scores were almost the same." Minami Kotori repeated.
"Senior Nico is so awesome. He barely practiced and still got the same score as everyone else," Rin Hoshizora, who was sitting next to Yazawa Nico, praised.
"Uh... ha, of course..." Yazawa Nico, who was praised inexplicably, said weakly with a little red face.
"I can't decide what to do now." Maki Nishikino said the most fundamental result of this competition.
"Well... but the leader should really be from a senior class." Hanayo Koizumi still supported his previous point of view.
"Rin also thinks this is good, nya~"
"There is nothing we can do~" After Hanayo said this, Yazawa Nico returned to his original state and pretended to be helpless.
"I didn't originally intend to be." Maki Nishikino also gave up this position.
"You guys are too calm..." Yazawa Nico couldn't help complaining.
"Then, wouldn't this be great? It's okay not to have it." Honoka Kosaka, who felt indifferent, was satisfied with the status quo.
"Eh?!" Everyone looked at Honoka Kosaka in surprise.
For an idol group, the leader is an essential position. However, Honoka Kosaka, who used to be the leader, denies this.
"How about not?" Umi Sonoda asked.
"I'm a little interested, let's talk about it." Senba Gari said
"Well, I think it's totally fine without a leader. Everyone has practiced this way and can sing the songs."
"But..."
"That's right, I've never heard of a group without a leader." Yazawa Nico said excitedly.
"Besides, what should Center do?" Maki Nishikino also pointed out its shortcomings.
"I have thought about this. How about we all sing together?"
"Huh? Everyone together?" Yazawa Nico asked a little confused.
"I was thinking about it when I was watching idol videos at home. It's great that everyone takes turns singing. Can we create a song like that?"
"Take turns singing?" Hanayo Koizumi also asked strangely.
"Yeah, it's really impossible?" Honoka Kosaka looked at Umi Sonoda, who was responsible for composing the lyrics.
"Well, I can actually write a song."
Since Umi Sonoda has no problem, it is Maki Nishikino who composed the music. Then the two of them also looked at Maki Nishikino.
Regarding Maki Nishikino's musical talent, her confidence is no less than that of other composers.
"Such a piece of music, of course."
"Would it be difficult to choreograph the dance?" Honoka Kosaka also looked at Minami Kotori.
"No, if there are seven people now, I think it's okay."
"That would be the best, if everyone sings together, everyone is the center!" This is Honoka Kosaka's most satisfactory answer.
"I agree." Minami Kotori raised his right palm in affirmation.
"As you like." Maki Nishikino said nonchalantly, still playing with his hair.
"Rin wants to sing along!"
"Me too...?" Hearing that everyone was the Center, Hanayo Koizumi couldn't help but blush with excitement.
"Although it is not easy to do it in practice." Umi Sonoda, who knows Honoka Kosaka, said with a smile.
"Not bad, I didn't expect Honoka that you would come up with a way to get the best of both worlds this time." Senba Gari also agreed.
So, since everyone agrees, it is up to the minister-Yazawa Nico to make the decision.
"There is nothing I can do, but my part must be very dazzling."
"Understood~" Minami Kotori, who was in charge of the dance, replied.
Now that everyone's consent was obtained, everyone looked at each other.
"Okay, now that you've decided, let's practice quickly!" Honoka Kosaka, who was full of energy, declared excitedly.
The plan was really set. After everyone packed up their things, they headed to the roof. Honoka Kosaka was very happy and ran to the roof.
