# 102 Activity Records badly summarized

Book spoiler btw \n6/3 Update: I made it more legible

# Chapter 1: 「a falling star」

Story starts when Megu first joined Hasunosora. She had her career as a talent and was going well until she got bad grades so her mom paused her activities and sent her to Hasunosora. She is very sad because she can't waste time in this school and wanted to find a way to resume her career. She is angry as her mom, but because she lost the fight with her she now has to wear the Hasunosora uniform. The crimson red fabric and teal scarf serves as the proof she lost.

After strolling around finding things to do she got recruited into club by sachi who was quite desperate at the time fearing 0 club members. Megu hesitated at first because she has her pride as a talent doing something amateurish like school idol, but sachi convince her to "temporary" join the club. 

In the club room, Kozue and Tsuzuri was already there. Kozue joined because she watched muse on TV and felt the spark <insert backstory where Kozue was raised in music family but wanted to be an idol joining Hasunosora>, she is very toxic school idol fan. Tsuzuri also there because she wanted to become a school idol. Megu has no idea what the fuck school idol and LoveLive is so Kozue had to give her a lesson but her own ego as a talent freshly out of job doesn't help and turned into a debate. (It'll happen too many times).

They went to start practicing right away. Tsuzuri has insane talent <insert back story about being insanely skillfully at dancing and popular> and flexed on the other two, but she has negative infinity self esteem. Megu could dance decently and Kozue is good at her ballet stuff. Kozue struggled to operate her smartphone to play the song. 

After the practice, they went to hot spring bath together and have a bit more chill talk. Kozue found out that Tsuzuri also doesn't know anything about LL! competition so she brings Tsuzuri and Megu to her room to give her a lesson. (Tsuzuri doesn't know how to dry her hair with a dryer). She tried to play several videos about school idols, but have some trouble doing so. Three of them watched videos the whole night and all went absent from morning assembly and got punished to sit in the hallway.

# Chapter 2: 「Sparkly Spot」

Sachi decided to do a live at the end of april, but before that they have to decide on the units, Sachi decided already she'll be Dollchestra with Tsuzuri, leaving Kozue and Megu to form a unit. Kozue: "no fucking way I'll be cerise bouquet with this girl" so sachi say fuck it I'll do 3 units (she also had to do 3 units with her senpai). Sachi take turns to practice with each girl so she had to practice 3x. Last year did the same and changed units every month.

Sachi brought the 3 to omicho market (her senpai also brought her there) as a part training and getting to know the fans. Kozue and Megu worked but Tsuzuri didn't know what the fuck she can do so she's sad. Megu then give Tsuzuri a therapy session. Tsuzuri was sad because when she said she become a school idol to her friends at dance school, they said "You're are Yuugiri Tsuzuri, not a School idol". Sachi also said the same thing so Tsuzuri  become sad because she won't be come a school idol if she's still Yuugiri Tsuzuri. Megu said she's just being gaslit from someone who's jealous of her talent, she's being manipulated like a marionette. 

The therapy wasn't effective so Megu called sachi to help. Sachi said anyone can become a school idol without needing any condition, but the person has to accept that they're one. It won't work if you don't accept yourself as one. Sachi said she can't stop the rain inside Tsuzuri's heart, but she can find a place her heart can shelter from the rain. Steps brought her to a park, they performed sparkly spot to people chilling there. Megu thought no way it would work, but the more she watched Tsuzuri performed, The Tsuzuri that she was worried about turned into something that she can't look away from. After the performance, Sachi said "You'll be performing countless time on stage, and doing so you'll slowly become a school idol. If you can perform stage here again, you'll be freed. You'll be accepted and become a full-fledged school idol.". 

Megu asked what did Sachi do to her and she replied "She got cursed, it won't come off just by performing once or twice. So I put another curse on her so that she continues going on stage and enjoy become a school idol. A Rain shade won't last forever, after a year once she accumulate her experience and connections she'll be. I'm just preparing her for the time she'll become a school idol. Entrusting her to the future.". Megu: "Bro, that's not a curse that's hope". The next day Megu went earlier usual to practice and found Kozu doing the same. The thought: "Holy shit she's a real deal" and they were both fired up from Tsuzuri.

# Chapter 3: 「Reflection in the mirror（Part 1）」

After the live in omicho market, they went on practice a usual. They took turn practicing with Sachi, but Megu skipped the practice because she wanted to watch the showed she just graduated from. Kozue is pissed off because she really want to win LL! and that's a dumb reason to skip practice session. But then Megu didn't return for 2 days. 

Kozue finds Megu and talked to her, Megu said she wanted to quit being a school idol. Kozue demands more explanation so the went to Megu's room. She explained when she watched the show the other day, she also looked at the reception of the fans. They all moved on to the new girl that got on the show and no body talks about her anymore. She felt the urgency to go back into talent business and can't spend time on a detour becoming school idol. She planned to go as far as quitting her current agency and find another one that the school accepts. 

She doesn't have any particular reason to become a talent, but her dream is to <sekai wo muchuu ni saseru> and school idols ain't doing it and a waste of time. Kozue said if it's what she thinks is correct, but school idols aren't that cheap. One live can change someone for a life time and her "<sekai wo muchuu ni saseru>" dream can be fulfilled. They had another fight again stepping in each other's dream. Megu challenged Kozue to captivate her with her performance, show her a live that she won't forget in a lifetime and she'll keep doing school idol activities.

Kozu accepts the challenge and went on even more training arc, she tries so hard she had to dance in the rain because there were no practice room. Megu showed up "Bro, chill it you worked too hard you become sick I don't want you to use that as an excuse if you suck on stage. Here I got you a (practice) room", Kozu: "…. K thanks". 

# Chapter 4: 「Reflection in the mirror（Part 2）」

Fast forward to the day of the live, Sachi showed them 4 new Dream Believers costumes, and the one sachi wears herself is DOLLCHESTRA (mind blown noises). Kozue pogged because she's a big hasu fan.

The order of the performance was Dollche, Ceribu, Mirapa. Dollche flexed with Sparkly spot as usual. Cerise Bouquet performed Reflection in the mirror because Kozue first heard the song when she saw Hasunosora. Then comes Kozu turn, she was tense as fuck on stage in til end of first verse. Megu from the side of the stage shouted "What the fuck you are doing. Is this really your debut live, isn't this what you you longed for. Are you proud of something like this?". Something clicked inside Kozue and she performed well again. It reminded me of the feelings when she watched Tsuzuri, or even more. Then Megu went on stage and performed Identity.

The live was a success and they had small party in the club room. Sachi brought manekkodo-butsu and they drank juice in a paper cup. Kozue wanted to bring her tea set into the club room, Tsuzuri wants snacks and Megu wants to bring a sleeping bag. Megu called ruri and tells her she's now a school idol.

# Chapter 5: 「Love with the world」

Sachi introduce Megu to Hasunosora school idol connect account which weren't being used. She wanted Megu to try and show Kozue and Tsuzuri that streaming is fun. Megu who used to having a bunch of staff working for her felt unsure if streaming on school idol connect is right for her. When she watched some streams on the platform and it sucked she threw her phone.

The next goal for school idol club is to perform in Nadeshiko-sai. This time people from outside school will come and watch, and there will be stream for the live. The scale of the event is even larger and they started preparing for it right away.

As days of practicing passed, it become more apparent to her that her singing and dancing skills are not up to par with Kozue and Tsuzuri and it won't change in a short time. She can't just keep taking Ls like this and realize the one area the she can easily beat the two is streaming. She decided to give it a go, the more fans she gets from the stream the more lit the live will be. She cleaned the room and started the stream without much plan. Albeit Sachi walking in the mid stream, the first stream ended. She looked at the responses on the internet and decided to come up with ideas to make it more interesting. While she's struggling to find the idea, Tsuzuri and Kozue showed up and Megu asked for their feedback. Tsuzuri said maybe the viewer wanted to know more about her and Kozue gave her support, Megumi was inspired and her 2nd stream became a big hit.

The next stream she streamed in her room in her private outfit. This is because everyone else streamed in their uniform most of the time so this will stand out and you get more intimacy with the listener. The response was great, but sachi say "Yo the idea is good but did you get the permit from dorm lady yet" she (kinda saw this coming) decided to unlist her video sadge. She doesn't want to be in the trouble and get Nadeshiko-sai cancelled.

However, she didn't give up and stream everyday. She start to build more her character with her greeting (HaroMegu/ BaiMegu) or introduce Whiteboards and make it different every time. One day Sachi showed them that She became monthly MVP on school idol connect. Tsuzuri become interested in streaming and Kozue Congratulates is still a bit shy about it, Megu offered to help as a proud Monthly MVP.

Kozue mentions out of the blue she wants to make a song. Megu doubted her, Tsuzuri looked forward to performing it.

# Chapter 6: 「On your mark (Part 1)」

Kozue and Megumi gathers and help wake up Tsuzuri for school. A few things happen during mid June that make them closer and especially Kozue becoming more soft. Kozue discovered that both Kozue and Megumi sucked at studying and went harsh on them. Then a few things happened they ended up congratulating Kozue's birthday together. After that Kozue self-reflects herself and becomes a bit more soft on them. (this is the part in the drama cd). 

Sachi also worked day and night at Nadeshiko-sai committee so wasn't in the club room. Kozue decided to show her new song to Megumi and Tsuzuri. Megu was genuinely impressed that she made the song by herself as Megu was used to having people make songs for her. Kozue wrote the song as a song that marks the beginning of of 102th Hasunosora School Idol Club to be performed at Nadeshiko-sai. When Megu asked what's the title of the song, she completely forgot to name it.  Tsuzuri is in charge of choreo and Megu will be in charge of the costumes. She wanted to make a costume that fits the mood of the song. The Megumi that is bored of getting trapped in Hasunosora is no where to be seen.

Later the club member worked together to build the stage. They listened to the new song while doing the work. Sachi hearing the song said it was great, and she's happy there is someone who can write songs here and create new traditional songs. The newsletter club asked school idol club for a column to be published. Sachi said every year we asked the 1st years to write about their senpais. Megu started collecting data right away asking Sachi questions. 

Sachi first became interested in school idols when her parents brought her to Nadeshiko-sai when she was young. She wasn't actively working towards becoming a school idol like Kozue, but the 3 Seniors in the club at the time are very locked in to get Sachi to join going as far as to follow her around and wait in front of her room. Sachi don't like being in front of people too much, but it looked fun so she gave in. She doesn't like being in front of people in the sense that she was class representative since primary school until middle school and has to talk in front of people all the time. People who stand there get hated on big or small matter, so she got sick of it when she became high schooler. Joining school idol club is different, she felt so free like she grew a pair of wings（see appendix). After getting a taste of joy from freedom, she wanted to create stages where people could enjoy and she's really happy 3 of them join the club this year. 

The atmosphere is very lively reminding Sachi of the days when the seniors were still there. No more sitting alone in the club fearing no one will join, after Nadeshiko-sai there will be Rindou-sai, LoveLive! Preliminaries and Renge-sai at the end of the year. Bright future awaits for everyone in the club. Before everyone go back to work, Megu reaffirms Sachi that the two years they'll be together will be even more fun than before. 

A week after building the stage, during practice, Sachi clearly looks dead because she has to practice 5 songs while doing committee work. They decided to perform dream believers, 1 dentou song each and the new song. Kozue propsed we postpone the new song to perform at other time, to lessen the load. Sachi said she'll ask the people at the committee to take some work off her, but Megu said that burden will go to someone else which isn't what sachi wanted. Instead Megu proposed that only Kozu, Megu, tsuzu will perform on your mark. 

# Chapter 7: 「On your mark (Part 2)」

However, The choreography Tsuzuri came up with was too good, Kozue and Megu can't keep up with it. Tsuzu becomes sad because Kozu and Megu doesn't look like she had fun and keep apologising. Kozue and Megu fight a bit again, Megu crashes out to cool down outside. Tsuzu followed Megu outside to try cheer her up like she did to her. Tsuzu keep apologising again, Megu got fed up with it and said "bro did u made the choreo to make us feel bad, if not then do apologize the choreo is perfect but we just pissed of ourself because we suck ffs". They both went back to the room and Kozu and Megu apologised to one another. 

The problem still remains that the choreo is too difficult. Megu purpose that they change the choreo albeit having only a week left for preparation. The choreo is difficult because it's created with 3x Tsuzuri in mind and there are a lots of movements the two are not used to. Megu purpose using the choreo Tsuzuri as a basis and then adjust to fit with everyone. That way even though they cannot become one, they can work together to create that can capture everyone's attention.

Kozue mentioned that she looked up at Tsuzuri for remembering the choreo so quickly and Megu for having such creativity that she doesn't have. Compared to herself got all anxious about changing the choreo. She was desperate trying to catch up with the other two by creating the song. Kozue wanted to fulfill the dream of winning LoveLive! but every morning she wakes up she keeps seeing dreams she can't fulfill. It's as if the gods are saying that it's impossible. She really wanted to make the performance of her new song a success. Tsuzuri reassures her that school idols doesn't need to be perfect. Megu said that she also feels the same, don't know how to make the live a success or whether her dream will be fulfilled. But if you don't start running you won't ever reach the goal, you just have to keep running forward.　

As they changed the choreo bit by bit, there is still one problem remains. They had no time to make an outfit. But then again, Megumi came up with another idea.

The performance order was decided by rock-paper-scissors again: Cerise Bouquet, DOLLCHESTRA and Mira-cra Park. After the 3 units songs and 4 member song. They went back stage to take off their "Dream Believers" costumes. Meanwhile, Sachi did an MC to stall time for the 3 to change. The crimson red fabric and teal scarf that once served as the proof she lost, became the outfit they use to chase their dreams. Hasunosora's Girl High with the longest tradition.

They put their hand together and cheered up. That was they first time they are in sync. Sachi seeing them running up the stage, cued up the new song, the song that marks the start of their new beginning "On your mark"

# Epilogue

After the performance they had a party again and Sachi mentions that people *cough* *cough* said that the 3 are called "Hasunosora Daisankaku"
