Collection of Love Live! Shorts Chapter 57: HonoNicoRin, a love live! school idol project fanfic

Author Notes

I took really long to meet this prompt didn't I? :P

I had the worry that Honoka couldn't come up with the stupidest plan ever. XD (because Honoka's ideas have to be ingenious)

For this tumblr promot "This is without a doubt the stupidest plan you've ever had. Of course I'm in."

HonokaNicoRin

Best Stupidest Plan

"That's a brilliant idea, nya!" Rin cheers and Honoka smiles triumphantly.

"I don't like the sound of this…but what idea have you concocted up this time?" Nico points her cute and pink mechanical pencil at the smiling gingerhead, giving her permission for Honoka to share.

Honoka tilts her head in confusion for a second but shrugs it off soon enough; she doesn't need to know the meaning of "concoct" to concoct! "Let's play paintball throughout the school! The most colourful one wins!"

"Nya!" Rin cheers again, vibrating with excitement to play already.

Nico takes a second, eyes closed as though she's thinking and possibly going to reject Honoka's idea of fun. The third-year opens her eyes with a huge smile and enthusiasm lit in those fiery rubies. "First off, The least colourful one win, Honoka. Secondly, this is without a doubt the stupidest plan you've ever had. Of course I'm in."

Honoka and Rin erupted into loud cheers and jumped up and down happily. "Ohh~! Let's paintball the school, nyaa!"

Honoka prepped a large container full of paintball guns but no gear. "You fight to protect your skin. You wear your skin as armour to protect!" Honoka spouted off her head as she dual wielded the paintball gun.

Nico rolled her eyes as she at least put on her "disguise mask"; an idol's face is their number one asset she preaches.

Rin put on a cute kitty ears headband she found in the clubroom and declared herself the "Kitty Warrior Nyaa Fighter". Nico opened her mouth to point out all the things wrong with Rin's fighter name but shrugs. Whatever makes Rin happy.

Honoka wanted a cool fighter name but couldn't come up with something she find cool so she begged Nico to give her one. Nico cursed those puppy dog eyes and relentless tugs from Honoka that she gave in. Honoka was then named "Fearless (insert unspoken 'cute') Chihuahua of Muse".

"Why Chihuahua, Nico-chan?" Honoka asks; despite holding onto two guns Nico could still see the ethereal puppy ears and tails on Honoka.

"Because." Nico says matter-of-factly as she gestures to the entirety of Honoka which encompasses cute, harmless, small and noisy.

Honoka couldn't catch on but doesn't mind, she can't wait for the fun to begin to makes things even more fun. "What's Nico-chan's fighter name?"

"The Universe's Number One Idol, Nico-nii." Nico immediately replies with her signature call before she puts on a game-on face. "Let's begin!"

Nico ran off and Rin soon runs off too, leaving Honoka to give her fellow not-comrades time to spread out and also enter the broadcast room to announce, "Otonokizaka's first ever official paintball tournament throughout the entire school has commenced! All students are to head to the front of the broadcast room to get your painball guns! No one can shoot on immediate gun collection! Give it like a minute or so for people to run. That's more fun. And so… THE MOST COLOURFUL ONE WINS!" Honoka ends off her speech and turns to give chase.

Nico somewhere outside shouts "LEAST COLOURFUL!"

The whole school (except Eli and Umi) took part in the impromptu paintball tournament but Eli and Umi (who only suffered minimal paint recoil damage) caught and detained and lectured Honoka, Rin and Nico after about an hour and a half of chaos. Honoka was very good at hiding, Rin was really good at running, and Nico somehow rallied a group of girls who was willing to be her shield.

"Well…that was fun while it lasted, nya."

"I can't believe you shouted at Eli Kitty Warrior Nyaa Fighter won't falllll while she had you lifted up by the collar." Nico snickered.

Rin growls at Nico who laughed since it came off like a small kitten that's angry at you.

Nico then look to Honoka with pitying eyes. "And Honoka… really?"

Honoka pouts while hugging her knees.

Nico chuckles. "Fearless Chihuahua of Muse ain't afraid of you Umi-chan! And she point blank shot you like what? Ten times? Umi is heartless."

"Uu…" Honoka whimpered at the memory.

"You won though. You're most definitely the most colourful out of everyone." Nico looks Honoka up and down.

Honoka pouts. "It's least colourful, Nico."

"Oh, now you remember." Nico was genuinely surprised.

Rin crawled towards Honoka and pulled the second-year out of her Chihuahua curl. "Rin wants something fun, Honoka-chan! Can you think of something else, nya?"

Honoka raises her eyebrows, Rin's encouraging smile was contagious. "Hmm…"

"We gotta one-up Eli-chan and Umi-chan, nya!"

Honoka smiles widely as an idea pinged in her head. "Well…They did say we're in charge of cleaning the whole school…"

"Nya!"

"Let's have a water gun battle throughout the school!" Honoka pumps her fist in front of her chest.

Rin's yellow eyes glowed with excitement. "Let's nya!"

Nico shakes her head but was grinning. "That's a stupid idea if we don't want to meet Eli and Umi's wrath again…but I'm all in."
