LLAS Ch40

We start off at Aquors, and we learn Chika has some impactful handwriting apparently. Anyways they're writing a pamplet to introduce themselves at their lives. They're also about to watch Muse's livestream. On the stream, they say words and also advertise Aquors livestream. Dia fangirls over Eli and everyone else is p hyped.

MC ends up staying up late messing around on a music composing app. They say have so much fun composing music and say they feel like they're only doing things they have fun with. Bruh, what the actual fuck are they even wondering about then? Having an activity they enjoy that can easily translate into a career. Like that's already 80% ahead of what most people have planned in high school. Further questioning, they enjoy getting to write songs for everyone than actually composing? I don't really understand what this means. Like only enjoy making music for friends only? She has trouble waking up and Ayumu has to wake her up. Ayumu dresses MC because MC is late. They run into Kasumin and Ayumu flexes that she's the childhood friend that lives right next door and can help MC anytime she wants. Ayumu follows up with, "Actually, maybe in the future, we could be roommates or something...", real subtle Ayumu.

Kanata cooks 3 different chicken dishes for Shizuku, Rina, Mia, MC. Trying to expand her list of good tasting food that's fast & easy to cook for her sister. Leads into talk about the future and Kanata says she likes cooking, but probably not a chef. Maybe a culinary researcher(?), upload cooking videos online to help those starting out just like how she started herself. Everyone asks if she has an easy recipe for them to try out right now.

Aquors live tomorrow, we talk about taking the train there. Kaoruko pops in last minute says yo Shio you got them minibuses ready? I'll drive yall to the live. Once again, I need to express my exasperation over the fact the school has multiple minibuses on hand for use.

While waiting outside their dorms to get picked up, Ayumu and MC talk about the trip. MC expresses she feels she'll be too excited to sleep at all. Ayumu admonishes them and says with a blush that if MC is gonna have trouble, she can lend her lap as a pillow to them. MC says what? Ayumu says hey look at weather it sure is cold out here tonight, hey look there's the minibus! On board, Ai makes a bad pun and MC laughs at it. Ayumu says it's cute MC will laugh at anything and starts gaslighting Lanzhu into believing it. Mia asks why is this her life.

We arrive at a pit stop and everyone gets out to stretch their legs. We have an hour to do whatever. Groups splits up til it's just Ayumu and MC. Eventually everyone gathers back up and they're just all eating. Ayumu feeds MC after seeing others do it to Karin.

Blah blah card games, reminiscing, Q&A on the minibus. Eventually 1st years + Mia fall asleep. Then everyone else.

Except MC. Angst hours o'clock. LOL MC says ever since they joined the idol club, all their memories are of the idols, how hard they work, and nothing about themself. Actually too funny, oh god I'm a self-insert with zero character oh jeez. What shall I ever do? Kaoruko asks what's up, what's troubling ya. She asks dog you're saying you're already having fun doing this stuff, why not just make it a career. MC worries that it's temporary, that she's just getting swept up into her friends' fun. Kaoruko tells MC how she got into school idols, and says they can talk more they get to another resting point.

Kaoruko talks about even she has felt anxious about her future and that's natural. Basically she says no point in worrying about what you don't know, can't control, instead just do anything you know you want to do right now with everything you got. Eventually you might get a better idea of what you want. Squints... this looks like pretty great advice as long as it works out, but like if it fails, you'd totally have the right to be bitter about this dumb bull and at yourself for listening to it right? Kaoruko says she still has no idea what she wants to do with her life (more signs point towards sus advice), but she knows she wants to do interesting stuff that makes people happy. And eventually, she says, if she keeps doing that, she'll find something to devote her life to. Also to have lots of friends to bail you ou- I mean to have fun with.

Next morning, Ayumu sees how tired we are from staying up. We give the excuse that sleeping in unfamiliar places is hard. Ayumu presses us that we should have used her lap. What exactly are you implying Ayumu? Eat & walk around to show Lanzhu & Mia what Numazu looks like. Run into Muse girls. Finish chapter by arriving at stadium that live is held at.
