After Umi had comforted Kotori, she began to feel better. However at this point Kushina and Mikoto are spacing out because Haruka avoided them. They're now both sitting on a bench under a giant tree. They're now asking themselves how to make Haruka they're friend again.

Kushina: I never thought making
friends was this hard. Especially in this school.

Mikoto: Yeah...... You're right about that. Because of the incident yesterday the other students are now avoiding us. What do we do now?

Kushina: We have to win back our
friendship with Haruka.

Mikoto: But how? If we approach her
she will most likely avoid us.

Kushina: I have a plan. So listen
carefully.

Mikoto listens to Kushina's plan. She giggles with excitement and can't wait to see what happens. Meanwhile Haruka is at the rooftop once again. She's standing by the railing and looking at the sky. She decides to call out Honoka once again.

Haruka: Mama...... Can I see you again? I need your comfort please. I'm in a pinch right now. So if you can hear me. Please show yourself again. (starts to cry)

As soon as she's starting to cry. The bright light appears again. Once again Honoka appears and this time she's wearing her school uniform. Haruka is happy to see her again. She runs towards Honoka and starts to cry again.

Honoka: Why is my beautiful sweetie
crying again?

Haruka: Mama... Yesterday the two friends that I made broke their promise that they made.

Honoka: And what is that promise
that you made them swear my sweetie?

Haruka: I told them your name and
papa's name. I also told them not to tell anyone because I didn't want to attract too much attention.

Honoka: Hmm...... That sure brings
back some memories of me,
Kotori-chan, and Umi-chan during my high school days.

Haruka: Huh??? What do you mean
mama?

Honoka: Well it happened 20 years
ago Kotori-chan received a letter from overseas. It says that a foreign school was inviting her to study fashion designing there.

Haruka: And then what happened?

Honoka: They decided to tell it to all of us while we were celebrating the news that school is no longer in danger of closing down. I stood up
and walked straight to her. I got mad at them. Then Kotori-chan ran outside. Umi-chan followed her.
After that I decided to quit being an idol. Then I went on to reconcile with her and stopped her from going abroad. After that we performed at the auditorium with the other students finally filling it up.

Haruka: What should I do mama?
Should I be friends with them again? I'm just not yet ready to face them again.

Honoka: That is up to you to decide sweetie. There's a reason why we gave you the freedom to make your own
decisions sweetie. I have to go now sweetie. Your papa is waiting for me. I love you sweetie......

Haruka: I love you too mama........

The bright light disappears without a trace.

As Haruka once again descends down from the stairs she looks back at the rooftop. To her mama it was a place where she practices with her friends. To her it has become a place of solitude and comfort.

Kushina and Mikoto decided to push through with their plan. They started listing for all the possible things that Haruka likes. They also listed the things that Haruka didn't like.

Kushina: Hmmm...... This is weird. How can we possibly pick the ones Haruka likes and the ones that she
doesn't like?

Mikoto: This is really hard. What if
the ones we listed that she doesn't like are the ones that ones that she likes.

Kushina: Hmmm...... Argh!!! Screw this plan!!! Let's just go and ask her directly.

Mikoto: Yeah that would be the most
convenient thing to do.

Unknown to them Haruka is approaching them from behind.

Haruka: What are you two girls doing?

Both: Aaaahhh!!!!

Kushina: Haruka-chan you startled us
girl.

Mikoto: Y-you're not still mad at us.
Aren't you?

Haruka: No I'm not mad at you girls
anymore. Besides I got to see my mama twice.

Both: If that is what you say so then.
Haruka-chan, will you be our friend again please?

Haruka: Sure...... Why not?

Kushina: Oh thank you very much
Haruka-chan!!!

Mikoto: Yay!!! We're friends again!!!

Haruka: Group hug!!!!

As the girls celebrate their new found friendship one girl spacing out during her time at school.

Tsubaki's Point of View:

"She kissed me. Why did she kiss me last night? Was it really for just comforting her? Is this what it feels like to be in love? No no no...... I'm sure it is just her way of saying thank you. And besides I don't think I'm worthy to be the girlfriend of the daughter of two legendary leaders of A-RISE and Muse. Compared to them I'm just a mediocre school idol. I'm already in my second year as leader and center of Venus. I have to surpass them to be worthy of being their daughter's girlfriend. I want to be my own legend. Yeah that's it. I don't have to follow them. I have to surpass them. Yes.. That's it..... Following them will only put pressure on me. But the idea of surpassing them is a more honest goal."

End of Tsubaki's point of view.

Erisa: Hey Tsubaki!!!!

Tsubaki: Aaaahh!!!! Erisa-chan don't
scare me like that.

Erisa: What are you thinking about?
you're spacing out you know.

Tsubaki: I'm sorry Erisa-chan. I just
feel like there's something I want to clear with a certain person.

Ayame: Are you by any chance falling in love with her?

Tsubaki: Ayame-chan.... How should I know. It's not like I'm already falling for her. It's just that I don't feel that I
am worthy enough to be the girlfriend of the daughter of two legendary leaders/centers.

Ayame: I see.... So what you're
saying is that you want to prove something first before falling in love with her.

Tsubaki: Yeah... I want to surpass
them. Hey Erisa-chan, do you by any means have ill feelings for Muse?

Erisa: No.... none at all. Why do you ask?

Tsubaki: Because they beat A-RISE in
the preliminary finals of the second edition of Love Live.

Erisa: Nah...... My parents told me not to harbor any I'll feelings against anyone. Besides Muse beat A-RISE fair and square.

Tsubaki: So how did your parents
feel when they saw your picture with Haruka-chan?

Erisa: They were ecstatic about the
picture. But then they suddenly turned sad.

Tsubaki: Why?

Erisa: They recalled how her parents
died.

Tsubaki: I think I might have read
about that somewhere.

While the girls continue to discuss about Haruka's parents. On the rooftop of Otonokizaka High School. One girl is toying with the idea of forming another school idol group.
