Act One,

"By living in a glided cage, knowing nothing at all of the world..."

"It is simply natural that one is ignorant, not aware of the true nature and all the impurities that lay in this torn world."

"Nicocchi!"

"What? Please Nozomi, I don't want to hear any other club offers asking for me to join, I've had enough of them already! Why can't I just-"

An idol club...

"Haaa? An idol club? Are you kidding me? I won't give up my idol research club that I worked on for years for this idol group of yours that you want to form to 'save the school'!"

"And what does this idol club want to do?"

"... As you might have guessed, Nicocchi. You have to give up your idol club, destroy their hopes of forming an idol club, or merge with them."

Ah, the choice was obvious, even though the old Nico would never have done this. But somehow, she felt like doing this was the right thing.

"Yes, please do tell them, I shall agree to their request of merging."

"... If that is so..." Nozomi was apparently taken aback. "Nicocchi... I wouldn't have expected you to do so..."

"... Nozomi, you know what?... Actually, me too."

"I just felt the impulse to do so, I actually have no intentions on anything..."

"... Yes, student council president... I always knew you were a kind soul..." Nozomi gave a small smile.

"Heh, am I?"

'This is not right. Things did not go this way, should not go this way... Wait. Did not go this way? What am I thinking?'

"It's the student council president! And she's gonna join our idol club!"

Of course... The hyper, energetic girl. Who had a tendency to be late for school daily. And loved bread and strawberries, even better strawberry jam on bread-

-Nico didn't know how she knew all these stuff.

She was probably a genius from birth, a mind reader, or had just met them in a past life before.

Actually, all three options seemed weird. Thus Nico did not put thought into this matter, it was probably not important...

So, other than the overexcited girl, there were others; a girl who had an extreme love for cheesecake; a girl who had hair as blue as the ocean; another one with hair like cotton candy, so much that she'd choke; one idol lover, who was obsessed with them as much as she was with rice and a sporty girl who went 'nya~'.

She has known Eli and Nozomi, they were her student council members. Even though she had not known the other six, she felt like she did, somewhere... It was probably just her being overfriendly, however.

Their lives as idols progressed on pretty well. Their live shows were successful, they all had fans. Some of them were even famous online.

Bokura no Live Kimi to no Life. It was their first ever live, performed during their school openings festival, to attract new students. Somehow it had worked, and the amount of students gained were much higher than expected. The school would not shut down after all.

Yuujou no Change. Friendship that will never change. Nico hoped this was true and would remain true for the bonds of this group of nine.

Snow Halation, was their highest ranked live. Nico had believed that the outfit was a little too cold for the snow, but Kotori had done wonders to it.

Wonder Zone, a fun maid cafe live. Turns out that Kotori had worked in a maid cafe in her part-time. Somehow, Nico felt like she had long knew that.

Bokura wa Ima no Naka De... We're all in this moment. Nico had wished that this would last for longer than it had.

Because soon this precious moment of theirs? Vanished. Like all Nico's high hopes for herself to become an successful idol... And her wish to make her father proud of her.
