Chapter 50 (581) The Second LoveLive Qualifiers

I've been too busy lately, and I've been through a few overnight reform projects, and I'm so tired of adult life......

……

……

……

……

……

It's dawn.

The early morning by the river was a little wet and cold. Hua Yang opened his eyes, only to find that there was no one else in the tent except himself.

"Not a single one?"

There is something strange about Hua Yang.

At the same time, on the edge of a cliff somewhere, Sui Naiguo also opened his eyes: "Eh? ”

Sui Naiguo got up, scratched his head, and said in his heart: I'm sleepwalking again...... It's so dangerous, it's a little farther away, and you're going to fall.

Fortunately, there was only one way to come here, and Honoka went straight back along the same road, and soon found Rin and Nozomi in the forest.

At this time, Hanayo also came over to join Hyaka and Eri.

"What is this?" Hono asked.

"When everyone woke up, they found that the birds were gone." Hua Yang replied.

"Could it be that you are going back to the villa?" Eri said, "Chu Yue is also over there, let's go back and have a look first." ”

Everyone nodded and began to walk back towards the villa.

A few people slowly opened the door of the villa, just in time to see Chu Yue sitting in front of the fireplace reading a book.

Chu Yue also heard the sound of the door opening, turned around and saw everyone, smiled, then put her finger in front of her lips and made a silent gesture: "Shhhh

Everyone was wondering, and saw Chu Yue pointing to the piano room on the other side of the living room.

The six of them turned their heads, only to find that Kotori, Haiwei, and Mahime were all asleep over there.

Haiwei and Little Bird both sat on the sofa next to the piano and fell asleep leaning on the sofa. And Mahime fell asleep on the piano.

Everyone understood what was going on, and they all smiled.

"Let them rest now." Chu Yue whispered, "But...... I'm about to start practicing. ”

After an all-nighter, all three of them have finished their creations. This time, the stay also came to an end.

Costume design, finished!

Composition, done!

Lyrics written, done!

All that's left is the venue and the practice.

At dusk, on the train back, six people except for Kotori, Kaimi, and Mahime fell asleep on the train because of the day's practice. On the contrary, the three of them, Xiaotori, Haiwei, and Mahime didn't participate in the practice because they had slept, and they couldn't sleep at this time.

In the car, Chu Yue couldn't help but take out the results of the three of them - picture books, lyric books, and musical scores.

As soon as she started to look at it, Chu Yue felt the fiery gaze of Xiao Bird, Hai Wei, and Zhen Ji.

"Well, you really still care, right?" Chu Yue smiled and said.

"Well, after all, it's all Chu Yue's things you did before......" Hai Wei said, "Moreover, showing others the lyrics I wrote or something, I'm really shy......"

"It's been a long time since I've seen a shy Haiwei." Chu Yue smiled and said, "But the lyrics are very well written." The costumes are great too! ”

"Thank you." Little Bird said.

"The tune is also very good." Chu Yue said, "Although my professionalism is not as good as that of Mahime, I will know how good this song is by humming it." ”

"Hmph, of course." Mahime tsundere.

On the whole, the requirements that Chu Yue made before the meeting were all met this time.

Whether it is the independent training of Mahime, Kotori, and Kaiwei, the preparation for the qualifiers, or the relaxation of Honoka's body and mind, it has made everyone cooperate better and has been successfully completed.

Nevertheless...... But...... Then comes when the real effort comes in......

Chu Yue didn't say this.

Because everyone knows that in this lovelive qualifier, the opponent we have to face is the absolute emperor of the campus idol world: A-RISE!

It was already evening when I got back to Tokyo. But everyone woke up, and everyone's homes were not far away, so they said goodbye and went home.

After the dormitory, it was normal to live on campus again.

Idol Research Department, Club Classroom.

"Before we start practicing, I'd like everyone to take a look at this." Chu Yue opened a web page on the computer in the club classroom.

Nine people rushed over one after another:

Eri, who had already investigated, said, "This is, Lovelive's official website?"

"Anyone else hasn't seen it, right?" Chu Yue said, using the mouse arrow to select the URL and said, "This is the URL, remember to look at it more when you are fine." And then, what I'm going to show you isβ€”"

Sui Naiguo asked, "What is this?" ”

"It's a stage where qualifiers are held all over the country." Chu Yue said, "Although lovelive officials have preparation stages in each region, there are too many teams registered for the qualifiers. So it's also permissible to prepare the stage yourself. ”

"Is that okay?!" Suino was a little surprised.

"These are all in the rules of the competition, don't you know?" Eri said.

Sui Naiguo was a little embarrassed: "Ah, I'm not very good at reading words......"

"The rules of the competition are very important things, and you must read them carefully when you go back." Chu Yue said.

"Yes......" Sui Naiguo replied a little carelessly.

"As the captain of ΞΌ's." Chu Yue added,

"Yes, yes!" Honogo suddenly felt the importance.

Everyone else couldn't help but smile, and sure enough, Chu Yue had another way to deal with Sui Naiguo.

"If you prepare the venue yourself, it will be broadcast live on the Internet. Then the whole country will be able to see it. Chu Yue continued, "I'm not worried about this. After all, we've had the experience of live streaming as well. ”

Hai Wei asked, "Chu Yue, did you mean that Sui Naiguo was injured that time?" Didn't you fail to broadcast the webcast? ”

"It didn't work out, but at least you're prepared. And, we have a recording every time. It's okay to treat this webcast as if it were a concert as usual. ”

"That's what I said...... said," Hua Yang said.

"But I'm still nervous." Rin also said.

Chu Yue continued: "Since you are allowed to prepare the stage by yourself, for the sake of the performance effect, there must be many campus idols who prepare the stage by themselves. It's better to say that campus idols who have the ability to prepare the stage will definitely prepare the stage themselves. So this time we're the same. ”

"Huh?! We're going to prepare the stage ourselves?! Hono was surprised.

"Hmm." Chu Yue nodded, and then began to say, "Everyone go back and sit down first......

The nine people crowded in front of the computer dispersed and sat down behind the desks in the club classroom in two rows.

Seeing that everyone was squeezing very hard, Chu Yue said: "Rixiang, let's apply to buy a projector for the next club fund...... It's so tiring. ”

"Huh? Ah, it's so ......" Hika didn't react for a moment.

"Club funds...... Nozomi said, staring at Hika.

"What?" Hinata stared back.

"Nothing." Nozomi said.

"Then again, what did you do with the previous club funds?" Eri asked.

"What did you do?" Hika crossed her arms and said with pride, "Look around you"

Everyone looked around, and the walls on all sides of the club were covered with signed posters, and there were various boxed idol CDs on the shelves......

The crowd was speechless.

It's no wonder that Hika can spend the club funds cleanly......

"Ahem......" Chu Yue coughed, then picked up the pen and continued while drawing on the whiteboard next to the computer:

"Let's go back to lovelive. In addition to the venue, it is also important to note that each group has only 5 minutes to perform, and the combination must perform within the specified time. After watching, the audience votes on the official website, and the number of votes determines the ranking. ”

"In the end, only the top four will make it to the finals." Eri said.

"The top four, that's a few." Mahime said.

"In particular, the Tokyo ward, where we are located, is the No. 1 Fierce War Zone." Nozomi also said.

"Also, the main thing ......" Hua Yang turned his head and looked at a poster on the wall on the other side:

A-RISE。

"That's right." Chu Yue said, "lovelive officials even invited A-RISE to make a lovelive advertising video. I won't play it on the computer, you can watch it on your own phone, or watch it on the computer when you go back. ”

"That's right, their popularity is already at the national level." Hika suddenly said, "Among the four groups, it can be said that one group has been determined. ”

"Huh?! That means we're going to fight for the remaining three groups? Rin said.

"That's it." Chu Yue nodded.

"But, optimistically, there are still three groups that can advance!" Sui Nao Guo began to use his skills to drive the emotions of all the people, "In this qualifier, let's use the school as a stage!" If you are at school, you will not be nervous, and we have our own style! ”

"Not bad!" The bird said immediately.

"I think I can, too." Chu Yue smiled and nodded, "Moreover, my thoughts are the same as Sui Naiguo, I feel that this qualifier can be used as a stage in the school." ”

"Okay, then, the specific school stage, let's find it tomorrow. It's been too long for today's meeting, and we're going to go to the rooftop and start practicing. ”

As Chu Yue said, although there are meetings every day, there is no less time for practice. This time, it's a race to give your all.

"When we go back tonight, we will also think about where the school can be used."

The next day, the rooftop of Otono Wood Academy.

"How about it, have you thought about the location?" Chu Yue asked.

"Hmm." Honogo nodded, "How about here?" ”

"Rooftop?" Chu Yue said, "I forgot to say that if you prepare the location yourself, you should try not to use a location that is not the same as the previous one to keep this game fresh." ”

"Anyway, this should be common sense." Hika complained.

"I've already used it last semester...... "I've already used it here," Honoka said, "the auditorium...... I've done it. ”

"Not only that...... "We've held concerts at the school gates, gymnasiums, and even in Akihabara." ”

"Also, in Akihabara, it's A-RISE's territory." Nozomi said.

"It's likely to be seen as a provocation." Hika said.

"I don't care if it's provocative or anything, it's just ...... If it's not at school, it's better to use the officially provided venue. Chu Yue said, "So, the best place is really the school." ”

"But...... We've used all the places where concerts can be held at school. ”

Chu Yue thought for a while, and then said, "Actually, I have an idea......"

Everyone looked at Chu Yue, but they didn't expect Chu Yue to be so silent.

Just when everyone was wondering, Chu Yue continued: "This idea is not very mature, and there are too many aspects to consider. However, if it can be done well, it may be a concert where you can challenge A-RISE. ”

Everyone was stunned. What kind of concert is strong enough to challenge A-RISE?

"Let's do training first." Chu Yue said again, "I'll solve the problem of the venue." If everything is ready, I'll tell everyone when the time comes. ”

Chu Yue did things, everyone was relieved, so they all nodded.

This time, lovelive is a vote for popularity, so in addition to the usual practice, you need to count the votes again. Naturally, the ticket for the Otono Wood Board Academy must be pulled. That is, propaganda is needed.

"It's up to me to do the publicity on the Internet. For propaganda in the school, I have already contacted the broadcasting department. Chu Yue said, "Let's go over at noon." ”

"Is that okay?!" Hono was surprised.

"Mahime said yes, so I went and asked, and I was sure I got permission." Chu Yue said.

"Mahime?!" Everyone was a little surprised, Mahime still has such an ability?!

"Just, no!" Mahime immediately became arrogant again, "It's just that the duty is lined up together and I just said a few words!" ”

Chu Yue smiled, of course everyone knew what was going on.

At noon, everyone came to the radio room.

"So...... Suinaiguo, you come first. Chu Yue said.

"Huh? Don't have a speech or something? "Spike is shocked.

"Now that they've all become student presidents, it should be okay to give an impromptu speech or something, right?" Chu Yue said with a smile.

Sui Naiguo, the stupid guy, really took the bait, and patted his chest directly: "Leave it to me!" ”

Then, Chu Yue looked at the others with a smile that seemed to be not a smile.

The others instantly understood that impromptu speeches were not Sui's business alone......

In the chairman's office, Kazuko Minami, who was working, suddenly heard Honoka's voice on the radio, and the chairman, who knew what his daughter was doing, immediately understood what was going on.

"Ahh Smackβ€”"

Of course, the last snap was not shouted by Sui Naoguo, but after Sui Naoka said "hello", he regarded this impromptu speech as a real speech, and bent down and bowed, so his head hit the microphone.

Chu Yue couldn't help but laugh beside her.

Sui Naiguo quickly recovered and continued: "That...... Hello everyone, I'm the student president, ah no, I'm the captain of the ΞΌ's, Takasaka Honoka. However, everyone already knows this. Actually, we're going to have a concert again. This time, it is necessary to participate in lovelive and aim for the championship. We need everyone's strength! Please come and see our concert, we will do our best! Thank you for your support! Above, comes Takasaka Spike no fruit. Next, here are the other members! ”

Then, Sui Naiguo turned his head and saw two of the eight people who were so nervous that they couldn't speak clearly: Haiwei and Huayang. The others were fine.

After being stared at by Chu Yue like that with bad intentions, the two of them have been nervous......

"Haiwei, you go." Chu Yue directly named him.

"Huh?!" The sea is not surprised!

Sitting tremblingly in front of the microphone, Haiwei's voice was much lower than usual: "That, I, I'm the ...... of Sonoda Haiwei who played Sonoda Haiwei"

"Poof-" Chu Yue smiled instantly.

When it was Huayang's turn, Chu Yue had already prepared and had already raised the volume.

"That, I'm a member of ΞΌ's Koizumi Hanayo, and that, my favorite food is rice...... It's not very conspicuous in ΞΌ's, and we'll be cheering for it, so please come and see it. ”

It's just that Hua Yang's voice was deliberately lowered because of nervousness, so there was a strange feeling after raising it like this.

"It seems that the practice of live broadcast is still needed." Hika said to Eri.

"yes." Eri smiled and nodded.

Director: "Yes, it's ΞΌ's style. ”

There is less than a month left until the LoveLive qualifiers.

The nine people in ΞΌ's were training every day, and Chu Yue was not idle.

The venue that Chu Yue thought in her heart needed the cooperation of the three parties of the Ono Wood Academy, the LoveLive Official, and ΞΌ's to succeed. Among them, the Sound No Wood Board Academy and ΞΌ's are their own people, only lovelive official, I don't know if I will agree with Chu Yue's plan.

Fortunately, after Chu Yue contacted the organizer of Lovelive, the organizer expressed great support for Chu Yue's plan, but Chu Yue needed to come up with a detailed plan so that the organizer could arrange time and manpower to cooperate.

After Chu Yue said that there was no problem, she went to ask the chairman.

Nanri Kazuko is naturally very supportive, just use the school for a while and let the students cooperate with the performance, which is no loss for the school. It's better to say that the school has not been able to repay ΞΌ's.

In the end, Chu Yuecai told everyone about her plan in the club classroom of the Idol Research Department. After listening to Chu Yue's plan, the nine people of ΞΌ's were also dumbfounded.

"It's really worthy of Chu Yue." Eri said.

"Maybe I can really challenge A-RISE." Nozomi said.

"But that's going to be a rush in time, right?" "Also, we need to cooperate with the organizer and the school, and if one of them makes a mistake, the result will be a problem......

"Both the organizers and the school have been in contact." Chu Yue said, "Next, I will come up with a detailed plan. I also applied for a dress rehearsal before the one-day event. So ......"

Everyone looked at Chu Yue.

"As Hika said, this will be very time-sensitive, so there are high requirements for everyone's proficiency and physical strength." Chu Yue said, "In addition to daily practice, I also want to increase everyone's physical training. ”

"Leave it to us!" Sui Naiguo said immediately.

"Is that okay, Honoka?" This time, Haiwei was a little hesitant.

"It's okay!" Sui Naiguo said, "As long as we work hard, there is nothing we can't do!" And...... I believe in Chu Yue! ”

"Hmmm! Me too. Little Bird said.

"In that case." Hai Wei said, "I see. ”

"I'm really looking forward to it." Eri said.

"You have to work harder." Nozomi said.

"Yo Si! Smile little fragrant! Hika said.

"Alas, there's no way, since it's Chu Yue's plan......" Mahime said.

"It's like a dream." Hua Yang said.

"Rin has no problem with meow!" Rin said.

"Okay." Chu Yue nodded, "Since we have all agreed, everyone has to get ready." ”

"Yes!" Γ—9。

So, Chu Yue spent two all-nighters writing a detailed plan. In the plan, every detail, every party, and what everyone needs to do is accurate.

In addition to this, Chu Yue also wrote a confidentiality agreement in triplicate. This time, the plan is too creative, and if it is imitated in the same competition after being known by other campus idols, the infectious elasticity will be greatly reduced.

And just like that, it's time for the day of the qualifiers for LoveLive.

The qualifiers start in the morning. But because there were so many teams signing up, even though each team only had five minutes, it was already evening when it was ΞΌ's turn.

However, there have been several rehearsals yesterday. Although there were some unsatisfactory things at the beginning, the last few times were already the best. As long as you continue to follow this momentum, you will be fine.

On Lovelive's official website, the host in charge of the webcast announced to everyone:

"Today, it's finally time for LoveLive's qualifiers!"

Although ΞΌ's time was online, the nine had already started changing clothes in the locker room. Before the official performance begins, everyone wants to practice a few more times to be sure.

"Ah, that's cute." Rin came to Hinka's side.

"Of course, today is the day of the showdown." Hika continued to fix her hairstyle.

"The students are ready." Hua Yang walked over and said.

"Everyone, don't worry too much. Let's gather first. Eri said, seeing that Rin's clothes were a little crooked, and went over to help Rin straighten it out.

"Ah, I'm still nervous." Little Bird said.

"It's okay." Chu Yue said, "We've rehearsed many times, haven't we? ”

"No, that's right!" Hai Wei seemed to be nervous again, "Nu, hard work won't deceive!" ”

Chu Yue couldn't help but smile, and then said, "Since that's the case, then let's rehearse again." It's our turn to be at night, so we'll be relieved to rehearse again, right? ”

"Yes!" Γ—9。

Time passed minute by minute, and finally it was time for the sun to set in the afternoon.

Behind Homura and the confectionery shop, in the living room of Honoka's house, Arisa Ayase and Yukiho Takasaka sit together in front of the computer.

"Ah, I'm so nervous." Arisa said, "Sisters, are you all right?" ”

"No problem." Yukisui said with a smile, looking at a piece of clothing hanging on the wall.

That dress is the one that Honoka wore when he was practicing, and it was printed with the yellow character "ほ". This garment has been washed several times, but when I took it off yesterday, it was all mud and dust.

I don't know how many times I've seen such clothes.

As Hai Wei said, hard work does not deceive. Yukiho believes in her sister.

When the sun sets, A-RISE's live begins.

I have to say that A-RISE's strength can indeed be called absolutely first-class among campus idols.

After the song "SUNNY DAY SONG", the number of simultaneous visitors to lovelive's official website instantly reached the highest value ever.

Even the nine people of ΞΌ's couldn't help but applaud after watching the live broadcast.

But......

"It's our turn!" Chu Yue's voice interrupted the applause of the nine.

"Go and take your places, put on your headphones, and listen to me!"

"Yes!"

Nine people responded in unison.
