Chapter 36
The freshmen from the two classes had been called for the student orientation. Led by the student council president, they talked about the extracurricular things like clubs and joining sports clubs and interest.
"Students are not required to join a club but everyone are suggested to apply to one, since if it's a club that had a high merit, the probability of getting to a better college would increase."
"..."
"We thereby conclude the new student orientation, everyone's free to check out student clubs, so please look for one if you're interested." Eli smiled cooly at the students before bowing then leaves the stage. Everyone clapped at the admirable student council president.
Hiroto and co. was currently giving handouts of the trio's live concert later. Of course with Takeshi round of publicity, the school idol was already known and recognized.
Meanwhile, Honoka and co. would respond to any comments and questions they threw at them since they wanted to gather more of the students to watch the concert. Since the live concert only takes around 10 minutes, a time like that should not be much especially if it was widely advertised, so curiously looking forward to what an aspiring school idols can do. Students would gave their word to watch the performance
"Please take one!, we'll be having our first live concert today, starting at four!" Honoka enthusiastically said. Someone got curious about her shout, Honoka gave a paper introducing their members and a reason why they want to be idols.
"I'll watch it later."
"Thank you very much."
"Please come!" Kotori said.
"Do not forget to see the live concert this evening at 4:00pm!" Hiroto shouted as well, and suddenly heard someone calling his name.
"Please!"
"Hey we've come to help!" Hiroto saw Yasuo and a group of students popped up.
"Eh?, Yasuo?, what are you doing here.." Hiroto was confused. Isn't today the welcoming day?, they should be busy with their stuff.
"Well, I heard what you're doing and thought of helping out, look I gathered my club members, we have enough members needed for our team so we're not looking for others for now." Yasuo introduced the members he had. He was shining brightly this time, something had changed in him.
"Yasuo-kun." someone held Yasuo's uniform from behind, a very cute girl smaller than everyone peaks at Yasuo's back wearing the uniform of the school. She was clinging to Yasuo. Meanwhile, Yasuo suddenly felt embarrassed.
'So that was it..' Hiroto nodded to Yasuo.
"Were here to help as well.." Hiroto felt a tap on his shoulder.
"Yoh!" He saw Takeshi with his iconic beam of light and a group of students following him.
They greeted each other then Hiroto coughed.
"Were grateful for everyone's help, but we should set the duties they should do if everyone wants to help.."
"Then.." Hiroto gave out flyers for them to hand out for now.
"The concert would begin at 4pm please come see us!" Umi shouted while raising the handouts to the students with a bit of shyness in her words.
"Thank you…" Umi bowed before continuing to shout.
In a moment, a girl stopped in front without looking at her.
"Please see our concert at 4PM at the auditorium!." Umi said.
"No, thank you.." the black haired girl with twintails said snappily before walking ahead. Umi sighed and felt a bit unconfident.
'I think I have seen that girl before..' Hiroto thought before approaching Umi.
"Don't be down because of that.." Umi looked at Hiroto who was encouraging her.
"That's right Umi-chan!, be more happy, smile! smile!" Honoka said while making gestures to make a smile.
"Thank you, please come to our show!" Umi said before they continue to gather students.
"Um…" Umi heard a girl's voice.
"Hanayo-chan?, she's Rin-chan friend from Maki-chan's class."
"Is that so?, we met the other day as well he-he.." Honoka remembered.
"I'll come see the live concert." Hanayo announced.
"Really?!" Kotori said excitedly.
"That's great, thank you very much…" Umi thanked her as she bowed.
"Hanayo-chan?." Maki saw Hanayo and approached them.
"Maki-chan? y-you're helping?." Hanayo was surprised.
"Eh?, you knew Maki-chan?." the trio felt dumbfounded.
'M-maki-chan, is part of the s-school idol group, that's amazing!.' Hanayo only knew that Maki was being called by the group last time.
"What do you mean, that's being mean.." Maki looked at them angrily cute.
"W-well, you're always so feisty, Hiroto-kun said so before..." Honoka rubbed the back of her head as she laughed awkwardly.
"What's the meaning of that Hi-ro-to-kun?!." Maki showed a hand pinch gesture while Hiroto felt ominous and had a bead of sweat.
"W-well, your lovely and beautiful persona cannot be easily handled by others..ouch!!!!" Hiroto felt pain in his waist.
"Hmpf, you're being mean again this time." Maki look at the side with a 'hmpf' while crossing her arms.
"Iyah..sorry Hiroto-chan.." Honoka bowed 90 degrees to Hiroto.
'She's a tigress what do you expect..' Hiroto thought.
"Huh, did you say something.." Maki just felt slight irritation.
"N-nothing Maki." Hiroto wiped the sweat in his head.
"You might be Maki-chan's friend then?." Kotori asked.
"Y-yes!." Hanayo said slightly stuttering because she was just shy since Rin wasn't nearby.
"Then, can you invite your friends to come see our live concert?" Kotori asked.
"I-i can! I'll invite R-rin-chan to watch." Hanayo said with enthusiasm.
"Then, that's good." Honoka smiled.
"U-um, Maki-chan, c-can I help out?." Hanayo cutely asked with low tone.
"...sure, here's half of my handout.." Umi was going to give half of her flyers to Hanayo but was interrupted.
"Umi-chan, you must finish your share, didn't you promise you would give it all out to show your improved confidence?." Honoka reprimanded as she stop Umi from handing it out.
"Ehh?, but we have many helpers here." Umi pointed as she retorted.
"No is a no, didn't you tell me not to stop during the time we exercise and didn't stop?, now look what you're doing…" Honoka showed his trump card.
"Th-that's, alright I'll finish this.." Umi felt motivated and got fired up.
"Right, that's the spirit, and thanks for helping out here is your share, Hanayo-chan!..." Honoka gave half of her handouts to Hanayo. Hanayo was a bit shy but she was able to give out a few of the flyers and after 30 minutes she headed back to see Rin.
"Please come see our live concert."
"Please."
"Hey..were here to help, you need someone to help out with your rehearsal and stuff?." Honoka's classmate approached and smiled.
Yasuo and Takeshi's group approached since they finished handing out their flyers, they just handed it out, it's all up to the students if they really want to see it. Umi had some apprehension because of them but she calmed herself seeing he knew the two groups, he introduced them to everyone. Umi asked Kotori what was happening and she got the answers. Though they had distributed many flyers but the point is if they were interested or not.
"Yes, but isn't that a problem, everyone should probably be busy with their club activities and stuff." Honoka asked worried.
"You don't have to worry about that, I will show you the power of the newspaper club, with our help I can estimate the probable students that would watch, it is probably around half the auditorium" Takeshi flicked his glasses.
"Ohhh, it's that good?!" Honoka felt better hearing it.
"We have to make sure to prepare everything, not everything about school idols are based from the look of the students on it but the true fans and their dedication to see every live concert of one idol group."
"Then. let's start preparing for everything, the trio should practice now at the auditorium." Hiroto analyzed the best scenario on what to do.
"We can setup the lights and the sound system and backup you three at the stage." Honoka and co's classmate raised her thumb and smiled.
"Then, what about us..?." Yasuo prompted rubbing his hands.
"Maybe help out advertise as well." Hiroto thought of something, since Takeshi help might be enough but having more hands is more helpful than having none.
"Isn't one group enough?, we don't have anymore flyers?"
"We don't need one, the word is much better, and you just have to inform others about it."
"Then leave that to us, as a member of the Track club, we can easily do that, let's go everyone!"
"Ohh!"
'Everyone is helping out….' Honoka and co. heard their motivated self.
'They don't want the closure of this school.' Umi thought as smiled unconsciously while she put her hands on her heart.
'It's something that changed me, I don't want it to suddenly close..' Yasuo looked at the girl who was clinging to him, she saw his look and smiled at him.
'I didn't have the motivation to do so in the past but, getting to know others in this school, I feel that I don't really want the school to close as well, sure my popularity can also help but we already had this idea and ready to go, if it becomes successful then we just had to support them and if not, I could think of other solutions' Hiroto smiled as well.
"Yosh, everyone lets make this live successful…!" Honoka raised her hand in front as she motivated them to a slight degree.
Everyone felt her energy so Kotori and Umi followed up by placing their hands above Honoka, Meanwhile everyone so this so they looked at each other member as they also lay their hands on theirs.
"3..2..1,High!! let's do this everyone!" Honoka shouted.
"Ohhhh!!!." everyone.
It was at that moment Honoka, Kotori and Umi had a flicker in their eyes. Their shining moments were just a hands reach and it would be easily caught if they wished to.
'Thank you Hiroto-chan,kun, ah it's sad that a great man like him was already taken or else Umi-chan would be more happy.'
'Hiroto-kun…'
'Hiroto-kun changed everything, he helped us out, even my fears….'
Eli saw their commotion outside of the window of the school building and leave.

Hanayo was looking at the school idol flyer she got when she was suddenly surprised by Rin who was looking more like a cat girl.
"Hiss!"
Hanayo got scared as she let out a scare comical expression.
"Yay!, I scared you!"
"Don't do that!, I have been looking for you." Hanayo aligned her glasses as she calmed her scaredness.
"Eh?! why we should go check out the track team club, I heard they had someone who was really good join there."
"Ehh, Track Team?, well I uhh,,"
"You said you wanted to try playing some sports, Kayochin!, Let's go! nya!" Rin pulled Hanayo as they run to the corridor.
"Rin-chan, don't, S-someone, someone help me!"
(AN:Dareka wo Tasukete!)

"Thinking about them?" Nozomi asked Eli who was looking at the broad horizon, Eli looked at Nozomi.
"I think I'll go home now!." Nozomi pick her bag up and she smiled while walking out of the room. Eli just looked at Nozomi leaving figure and she began to think before she heard the loudspeaker at the broadcasting room.

Afterwards, Honoka and co. practiced at the back of the auditorium. They were practically free to use the auditorium this day since no one other than them reserved it. There was no one seeing them aside from the helpers and the trio was able to perform remarkably even Umi had her confidence soar thanks to everyone's help.
Honoka and co. was already wearing their frilly school idol dress designed by Kotori. It was composed of one piece pink suit and white inner layer and at the neck part there was a big ribbon. It made their femine side stand out, they really look like a school idol albeit a starting one.
Umi didn't shy anymore since she had experience wearing something more undeniably adorable and cuter. They were looking Honoka's laptop as they had a final review of the top school idol 'A-Rise'.
"Their dance steps are so sharp and clean, do we need to do that?" Honoka asked.
"I think we should just do it more accurate and clean, not sharp because it might make us look like a robot." Umi analyzed.
"Like this?, or this, maybe like this." Honoka stood up from her seat and she followed the video's dance step as she acted cute.
"Honoka!" Umi wanted to stop Honoka.
