Chapter 1331: Past is going to haunt you 1
"But Haru... In this letter, there's your name," Hanayo said.
"..."
"What?!" 10x
Not only Haru, but all the members of Muse were startled.
Then all of them quickly checked the invitation letter and they really saw Haru's name on it.
Not only all the members of Muse, but Haru was also invited to visit UTX high school.
Haru raised his eyebrow and quickly asked, "Do any of you have the photos of A-Rise?" Even though he had heard the name A-Rise, he had never seen their appearance in the past.
Nico and Hanayo wanted to show the photo of A-Rise to Haru, but suddenly...
"Wait!"
Haru looked at Maki and asked, "What's wrong, Umi?"
"So you're the owner of Love Live franchises?" Umi asked. She knew that this guy was rich, but didn't expect that he would be the owner of the Love Live show.
"Yes." Haru nodded and said, "But I can't help you win, alright? I need to be fair after all."
Hearing Haru's words, they quickly nodded.
"Don't worry, we won't ask you to do something sneaky like that, we're going to win Love Live by our own power!" Honoka said.
"Yes!" 8x
Everyone nodded at the same time and vowed that they would win Love Live since they had decided to be the best school idol group in this country.
Haru nodded and asked, "Well, let's talk about the matter of your exam and the School Tour Day."
After the Open Day of Otonogizaka, there was a good response from middle school students who came to visit Otonogizaka, especially after they watched the Muse concert.
However, whether their school could be saved or not, it would be decided after the School Tour Day since, during that day, a group of middle school students would come with their parents to visit their school to see whether they would join their school or not.
During that time, there would be a group of students who would help a group of middle school students to tour around the school and also performed various things such as introducing their school and also performance.
Muse would also perform during the School Tour Day and it was a very important concert for all of them.
However, before School Tour Day, there was a hurdle that they needed to surpass and that was an exam.
Even though they were a school idol group, they were also students and as a student, they needed to pass the exam or else they wouldn't be given permission to perform a concert during the School Tour Day.
Haru didn't need to worry about some of the members of Muse such as Nozomi, Umi, or Eli, however, he was worried about the three idiots in front of him.
"Let's talk about the concert first!" Honoka proposed with great vigor.
"That's true, the concert will be held in two weeks after all, nyaa." Rin nodded in agreement.
"Nico Nico Ni~~" Nico tried to act as cute as possible.
"...."
Eli sighed and said, "Let's set up the study group later."
"NOOOOOOO!!!!!" 3x
Nico, Honoka, and Rin felt that their world had crumbled when they heard Eli's words.
"Nico-chan, do you not want to perform at the concert?" Nozomi asked.
"I want, but..." Nico sighed and said, "The exam is just too difficult!"
"Learning is boring, nyaa! My eyes become sleepy once I read a book, nyaa!" Rin held her head in frustration.
"Me too! Me too!" Honoka nodded and felt that Rin could also understand her feelings.
"...."
"There are three of you in each grade, and you can use your break time during school or after school to study together at that time with two people from each grade teaching three idiots," Haru said.
"Who are the three idiots?!" 3x
Nico, Honoka, and Rin couldn't accept that they were being called idiots.
Umi sighed and said, "That's the only thing that we can do."
"Honoka-chan, let's work hard," Kotori said with a smile.
"Umi-chan... Kotori-chan..." Honoka moved by her best friends' support.
"I'll help you, Rin-chan," Hanayo said with quite a nervous expression.
"It can't be helped, I'll help you," Maki said while twirling the tip of her hair.
"Kayo-chin! Maki-chan!"
Rin directly hugged both Maki and Hanayo at the same time.
"Then you should prepare to study Nico-chan or else I'll knead your cute boobs," Nozomi said while making a groping gesture on her hands.
"Y - Yes!!" Nico was scared when she saw Nozomi's hands.
"How about you, are you alright with your studies?" Haru asked Eli.
Eli nodded and said, "I am alright since I have always reviewed each lesson every night."
"Good job." Haru caressed Eli's head since he needed to praise such a diligent girlfriend, right?
Eli blushed and said, "Hey, I'm older than you!"
"Do you hate it?"
"Well...."
Eli loved it, but she was too shy to say it out loud.
Somehow the atmosphere between the two of them turned pink.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
Eli then realized everyone's gaze on them and quickly regained her bearing. She also coughed several times and averted the topic of conversation. "So do we need to go to visit A-Rise?"
After Haru talked about the exam and School Tour Day matter, they only remembered the invitation that they had received from A-Rise.
"Haru, what do you think?" Honoka looked at Haru.
"If you want to go then go," Haru said.
"How about you?" Maki asked.
"Well, I am curious how they know about us," Haru said.
Everyone was also curious since their school idol group was around the 20th and there was still a long distance between them and A-Rise who was ranked 1st. They were wondering why they had decided to send an invitation to them.
"Do you know something, Hanayo?" Haru asked.
Hanayo quickly shook her head and said, "No. I don't know. One girl suddenly gave me this letter before she quickly said goodbye."
"Hmm...."
Suddenly everyone stared at Nozomi since, at this moment, this girl was doing a divination card.
"Nozomi-chan, what are you doing?" Kotori asked.
"I am doing a divination," Nozomi said then took out three cards from the decks. She nodded and said, "I guess, that's it."
"What? What is it?"
Everyone knew that Nozomi's divination often worked which somehow and somehow confused them.
"The thing that is written on these cards is "the past is going to haunt you back"," Nozomi said while staring at Haru.
"...."
Haru twitched his lips and asked, "Why are you looking in my direction?"
"Nothing." Nozomi acted mysteriously before putting her tarot cards back into her chest pocket, but she kept smiling much to his displeasure.
Haru looked at Nozomi and thought to give this girl some punishment when he went to her house later.
"So it has been decided that we're going to visit A-Rise, right?" Honoka looked at everyone, asking for their confirmation.
"Yes!" 9x
Everyone nodded, but then they looked at Haru at the same time.
"No, it's better for me not to go," Haru said since he had a feeling something bad was about to happen.
"No, you have to go!" 9x
Everyone said at the same time and quickly grabbed his clothes, hands, etc, looking at him like a puppy that was about to be abandoned.
"Why?" Haru asked in a helpless expression.
"If you're not in there, we'll be disheartened and lose our confidence!" Honoka said.
It wasn't that they didn't have confidence, but what they would meet was the rank 1st of Love Live which caused them to become nervous and they knew themselves that A-Rise would be their rival and the wall that they needed to overcome to become the number one school idol in this country.
Haru sighed and said, "Well, let's go visit your rival."
Haru had never seen A-Rise so it was a perfect chance for him to see Muse's number one rival, but at the same time, he really could erase the bad feeling in his heart for some reason.
'I wonder why?'
