LLAS Ch21

MC and Ayumu have a discussion at night in their rooms. They talk about why Shizuku is leaving and they'll support her even if they aren't happy with it. And then we immediately play Love U my friends. I get it, I get it! It's cause Shizuku is leaving all her friends!

Shizuku & Kasumin fight over the fact that Shizuku plans on leaving. Kasumin says she won't forgive Shizuku unless she says she was joking and stops this nonsense. Rina panics and tries to get us to stop it. We say nah it's just some tsundere shit. Kasumin says some dumb shit like intensive purposes and Shizuku says that doesn't even make sense bitch, it's for all intents and purposes, how'd you even pass the JP quiz today? Kasumin blushes, turns around and says it was because you helped me study. Anyways they say it's only tsundere shit and they're still friends, but there's some really aggressive stuff being said that I don't think is chill.

There's more jerking off about how Lanzhu is perfect and amazing, Lanzhu is not humble at all about it either. Then we talk more about how the association is doing super amazingly awesome as well all because of the goddess Lanzhu. They are constantly dumping it over the player's head. DO YOU GET IT YET??? YOU THE PLAYER ARE THE UNDERDOGS! Anyways there's the association's first live where the other idols get a solo part. Shizuku gets a part and Kasumin admits she's improved, but there's something important missing. Kasumin tells her to catch their next guerilla gig and learn.

Shizuku says in her head, no I'm learning from pros, Kasumin's just coping. She sees the smaller audience, Kasumin was off tone a single beat, and Shizuku knows her dancing is better. Yet, Shizuku only feels arou- frustration at seeing Kasumin on stage. She thinks Kasumin has the go factor that makes Kasumin's performance so much more captivating to her. She's 100% just gay and in denial.

??? Just read the stupidest shit. Mia has a pile of data in front of her (What data? Like most popular songs of this week? Number of album sales? Number of songs in x genre made in y time frame?) and says she analyzes it to make the perfect songs. At any rate, Shizuku gets another solo song after Mia threw away 30(!) other songs apparently. Also the Association never performs the same songs more than once. They literally just do a new song. Actually wtf?

Anyways Shizuku comes to ask us how our song writing process goes because she's not sure how she wants to do this performance. The way Mia talks, she generates the best song based on "data" and assigns the song to whoever is best suited to it. MC thinks about the performer and writes based around them rather than other way around. MC tries to put everything she likes about a certain idol into their respective songs.

Shizuku is practicing her new solo for Lanzhu and Mia and they praise her. Shizuku thanks them for the association, and that she learned stuff she would never have in another environment, so can they come please watch her perform with all her heart. We transition to the other girls doing a guerilla gig. As they're wrapping up, MC and Rina say there's one more thing before they finish. Setsuna introduces their last performance, Shizuku doing her first solo song. She ends up quitting Association and rejoins the club citing, she's gay and she's accepted she loves Kasu- I mean cause the club has more heart.

Lanzhu questions why did she leave when her Association is perfect, she tells Mia to fucking pay attention and make better songs. Mia's thinking that song was pretty mid, but she can't get it out of her head.
