And so, the curtain begins to fall on this peculiar tale. As with any happy ending, the story of µ's and its journey to fame continues. Victory at Love Live, once again, is at the heart of the girls' adventure.
What of the mad incident? To say the least, the sounds of school welcome the girls to another day of learning and—in their case—practice. For all the ruckus the human-Pokémon hybrids have caused, not a soul spoke about it or shared on social media. Its victims—Kotori, Umi, and Maki—walked in the rain of cherry blossom petals as they always do during the season. To their relief, they got their humanity back, even if it meant missing out on a short period of their lives.
"Hey, Kotori," Honoka hurried to Kotori's side. "How are you feeling?"
"Happy to be human, that's for sure," Kotori giggled.
"I'm so glad you're back to normal," said Honoka.
From a smile, Kotori transitioned to a frown. "I'm sorry to hear that we had to cancel the Pokémon live show because of what happened. If I had just been more careful…"
"It's nobody's fault, Kotori. Well, actually, it's that madman's…"
The third-years joined them. "That's right," Eli said. "We'll have to prepare for our next live show to make up for that lost effort."
"Lucky for us, we have another one coming next month," Nozomi added.
"And we'll give it our all as the nine of us. No more, no less." Honoka said.
The first-years and Umi completed the gang of nine. "Hey Umi," greeted Kotori. "How do you feel?"
"Except for the fact that I haven't been feeling thirsty since that night, I'm okay," Umi answered.
"Meanwhile, I suddenly have a craving for anything spicy," Maki said.
Ever bouncy, Rin squeezed her way into the circle of friends. "You guys won't believe this. Maki ate a dozen chili peppers yesterday like it was nothing!"
"Hey! I told you not to tell them that!" Maki yelled.
"Awesome!" Honoka smiled. "I can do that. No problem."
"Maybe we should get to class before doing anything silly," Eli said. "After all, we just got back from one. Let's go."
The girls headed to their respective First Periods. Kotori watched her friends walk inside before her head does a complete one-eighty again, followed by a simple wink.
THE END. Or is it?
