Let's Continue being idols-LLSIF S3

Chapter 1 (Rewritten)

The members of μ's stepped out of Otonokizaka High School, a mix of happiness and sorrow enveloping their hearts. The impending disbandment weighed heavily upon them, casting a shadow over their spirits. However, amidst the bittersweet emotions, a sudden notification on Hanayo's phone pierced through the air, shattering the silence and capturing the attention of her fellow members.

"Hanayo, what troubles you?" Rin asked, her voice laced with concern.

"THERE'S ANOTHER LOVE LIVE!" Hanayo's voice echoed through the air, a mixture of excitement and disbelief intertwining in her words.

μ's stood frozen in astonishment. Eli, overcome by shock, uttered in disbelief, "But Love Live just ended..."

"Y-yes, Eli, but we must participate," Hanayo pleaded, her voice filled with unwavering determination.

Eli sighed, her tone tinged with resignation. "Hanayo, it's not possible. Nozomi, Nico, and I are no longer high school idols."

"Please, Eli, just one last time," Hanayo implored, her eyes transforming into puppy-like orbs.

"Very well," Eli finally relented, crossing her arms in contemplation. "We shall do it again."

"YES! THANK YOU, ELI!" Hanayo exclaimed, rushing towards Eli and embracing her tightly.

"Alright, μ's, let's embark on this journey once more," Nico declared, a flicker of excitement in her voice.

μ's gathered together, their hands intertwining in a show of solidarity.

"μ's MUSIC," they chanted in unison, determination etched into every syllable, before sprinting back to the school and making their way to their beloved classroom.

"We shall need a new song and ample practice. We have two months," Nico asserted, her voice commanding attention.

"Yes, do any of you have any ideas?" Honoka inquired, her tone hopeful.

"Hmm, perhaps we can revisit our initial approach and return to my summer house," Maki suggested, twirling a strand of her hair absentmindedly.

"Indeed, it has been a while. We can revive the magic," Eli agreed, her voice tinged with nostalgia.

"Very well, what day should we plan for?" Nico questioned, mimicking Maki's hair-twirling habit.

"Hmm, tomorrow seems like a suitable day," Nozomi answered, her fingertips lightly grazing her tarot cards.

"Yes, and perhaps I can invite Alisa since we aren't disbanding...yet," Eli began, but her words were abruptly interrupted.

"Yet," Nico interjected nonchalantly, the room falling into an uneasy silence.

"There is no need to speak of such matters, Nico," Nozomi retorted, her gaze piercing through Nico like a thousand needles.

"Apologies," Nico mumbled, crossing her arms in a gesture of contrition. "Moving on, I shall invite Alisa, so she knows that we are not disbanding until Love Live concludes."

"Yes, and I will invite Yukiho," Honoka chimed in.

μ's continued their conversation, the minutes slipping away until it was time to head home.

Honoka turned the key in the front door and discovered Yukiho engrossed in the glow of the television screen.

"Hey, Yukiho, I'm back," Honoka announced, her voice filled with warmth.

"Oh, there you are. You were supposed to be home a while ago," Yukiho replied, her surprise evident in her tone.

"Well, there's another Love Live," Honoka shared, a hint of excitement in her voice.

"Really!? I thought you all were going to disband," Yukiho exclaimed, her astonishment palpable.

"No, not yet. But after this Love Live, we will. Would you like to come with me to Maki's summer house to help us with our song?" Honoka invited, her smile spreading across her face.

Yukiho stood up, a spark of eagerness igniting within her. "I would love to join."

"Alrighty, let's do this," Honoka responded, her smile never fading.

Eli arrived at her home to find Alisa waiting for her.

"Alisa, we need to talk," Eli stated, her voice serious.

"Okay," Alisa replied, her curiosity piqued.

"Well, μ's isn't disbanding," Eli revealed, a hint of regret seeping into her words.

"Really? That means I can join—" Alisa began, her voice brimming with anticipation.

"Whoa, whoa, hold on. We aren't disbanding because there's another Love Live, but we will disband after it," Eli interrupted, her voice filled with caution.

"Oh..." Alisa's voice trailed off, disappointment lacing her words.

"I'm sorry, little sis. I didn't mean to get your hopes up," Eli expressed, her tone filled with remorse.

"No, no, it's okay. It's not your fault," Alisa reassured her, her voice gentle and understanding.

"But you can come with me to Maki's summer house to help us out. Honoka is bringing Yukiho along," Eli offered, a hint of excitement returning to her voice.

"Oh, yay!" Alisa responded, her enthusiasm reignited.

"Mhm. Alright, well, go ahead and get some rest," Eli advised.

Alisa nodded, making her way to her room, while Eli retired to her own bed, thoughts of the impending Love Live and the fate of μ's swirling in her mind.
