LLAS Ch25

Karin's crying or something. Shows up for practice, but no longer hangs out or anything, heads straight home.

We have a scene where both Setsuna and Shio get embarrassed by the student council members. They think Setsuna even if she loss was better than Lanzhu, also note nobody besides the club + Shio know Setsuna was the previous president or her real name or whatever. So Setsuna shows up as Nana...(?whats the rest of her name who cares, Setsuna), all blushing for seemingly no reason. Shio pokes fun at her. Then the student council members ask MC if we can help polish Shio even if we're rivals because they think she has the potential to surpass Setsuna. Then we have two blushing presidents.

Emma visits Karin out of concern. They're civil at first, but then Karin asks Emma why she doesn't like the association. Emma says she thinks Karin did better before joining and Karin lashes out and kicks her out. Karin stops showing up to practice and just holes herself up at home.

Kanata asks MC to visit Karin and bring her Kanata's pudding. We do so. Karin says she fucked up and feels bad for hurting Emma who was just trying to look after each other. Not much else occurs.

Kanata then takes a shot herself. Karin explains she's in the association because she thinks Lanzhu won the tourney ergo proving her training method is optimal and she should stick to it even though Karin lost hard w/ it. Kanata takes Karin to her younger sister's show. Kanata's a siscon and cheers a lot and gets Karin to pay attention to it. Evoke the sense of passion you get from people who are doing it for pure fun or something?

Kanata then brings Karin to a park where Emma is performing for local families. Something something basically what they're saying is they have a specific style of performance and that's why they're good. Emma focuses on her audience and soothing them. Shizuku was all about engrossing them into another world like a stage play. Kasumin plays the cutesy idio- idol and focuses on stuff like fan interaction and stuff. Karin is just trying to dance good and sing good, but dropped her ara ara mommyness trying to copy Lanzhu I guess. I don't know, it's all super vague.

Karin starts crying because she drove away Emma who's not only her love interest, but maid. Like Karin depended on Emma to clean her room, wake her up in the mornings, and just babying her overall. Unironically that last sentence is all true. The love interest part is just the usual yuri baiting they always do w/ the third years. Or at least very similar dynamic Aquors shared I think. Emma notices her and comes over and then all of em start crying. Emma says sorry for getting you mad, Karin for lashing out at Emma, Kanata just wants to join in because it's emotional.

Anyways things resolve and Karin thinks she knows what she's missing now. She asks MC to organize a live for her, so she can try again. She performs, things are seemingly better! It's great she learned and improved better practicing and doing stuff w/ the club and not the association. So now she'll come back since it's proven she can compete better w/ the stuff she learned from the club! Oh you're saying that didn't happen? She's still staying with the association where their president constantly speaks badly of the MC, the person they called friend? With the training that ended up having her lose in a landslide to someone who was handicapped w/ much less practice than usual?

Both Ai and Karin keep coming over to club group during lunch and Kasumin always asks why the fuck are you guys here if you're not gonna leave the association. Brings up that Lanzhu seems to literally hate MC. Can't believe Kasumin is the voice of reason. Anyways yadda yadda yadda, Shio's sister, Kaoruko is joining school as a student teacher.
