1	Episode 1	Summer
Hinata and Yuta are hanging out on the school roof at night after being tired out from practice. Yuta talks about how it's been peaceful lately, while Hinata thinks it's been boring. They talk while they eat pastries, and decide to switch to match their cravings. After Hinata feels like breathing fire from Yuta's super spicy pastry, and Yuta gets heart burn from Hinata's super sweet pasrty, they immediately switch back. Going back to the original topic, Yuta tells Hinata he should get 2wink something to do if he's bored—he's the leader after all. Hinata just wants to play around for now, and says he's been working on an idea for a test of courage inside Yumenosaki. Rei told them a bunch of scary stories, including the "Seven Mysteries of Yumenosaki". Hinata recounts a ghost story that takes place on the very roof they're on; a girl who dreamed of becoming an idol had to give up, and threw herself off the roof in despair. Every night you can hear her crying, and if a talented idol comes to the roof, she'll throw them off. A shout comes from behind them, making them thing they're going to be thrown of the roof for real, but it's Mr. Kunugi scolding them that school closed hours ago.
2	Episode 2	Summer
Hinata ran off on his own, leaving Yuta to take Akiomi's scolding by himself. Yuta promises they'll reflect on their actions. Akiomi let's them off the hook this time, since they didn't cause problems for anyone and there's nothing in the school rules that suggests punishment for being on the roof. He assumes Yuta got dragged into this by his brother again, anyway. He tells Yuta to be more careful, since a part of the roof has been deteriorating lately. It's dangerous up there, and caused an incident in the past; supposedly a trivial "frequent" thing. Akiomi is on night watch and will be there until morning, so he's going to be locking up the gates soon. He sends Yuta on his way, tells him to call him if he runs into trouble on the way home, and tell any other students that it's time to leave if he sees them. Yuta takes out his phone to message Hinata so they can leave, but starts feeling afraid about being alone in the school at night. He gets scared by a weird noise-like nails on a chalkboard or some kind of rapping sound—and sees a light in one of the nearby classrooms. Izumi is helping Anzu with her work (even though she didn't ask him) because he expected Makoto to show up (even though she never said that). It's getting late, and the outfits that she's organizing definitely can't be done by one or two people by the end of the night. The train is out of order, and Izumi is annoyed that she was going to walk home by herself, so he says he'll take her home on his motorbike. He wishes he could ride with Makoto, but if he's nice to Anzu, that should get him in good graces with Makoto too. According to Izumi, Anzu is lacking in gratitude.

Author's Comment

"It's a bit late, but this cycle (cycle?) I was in charge of the scenarios for the event (Pirates) and gacha (Test of Courage) for Ensemble Stars, and the event (Treasure Hunt) for Ensemble Girls. Writing for both Ensemble Girls and Ensemble Stars makes me happy and I had a lot of fun, but if I always had to write this much every time I would die (I got sick)."

Epilogue

Summer

Hinata and Yuta are hanging out on the school roof at night after being tired out from practice. Yuta talks about how it's been peaceful lately, while Hinata thinks it's been boring.

They talk while they eat pastries, and decide to switch to match their cravings. After Hinata feels like breathing fire from Yuta's super spicy pastry, and Yuta gets heart burn from Hinata's super sweet pasrty, they immediately switch back.

Going back to the original topic, Yuta tells Hinata he should get 2wink something to do if he's bored—he's the leader after all. Hinata just wants to play around for now, and says he's been working on an idea for a test of courage inside Yumenosaki. Rei told them a bunch of scary stories, including the "Seven Mysteries of Yumenosaki".

Hinata recounts a ghost story that takes place on the very roof they're on; a girl who dreamed of becoming an idol had to give up, and threw herself off the roof in despair. Every night you can hear her crying, and if a talented idol comes to the roof, she'll throw them off.

A shout comes from behind them, making them thing they're going to be thrown of the roof for real, but it's Mr. Kunugi scolding them that school closed hours ago.

Hinata ran off on his own, leaving Yuta to take Akiomi's scolding by himself. Yuta promises they'll reflect on their actions. Akiomi let's them off the hook this time, since they didn't cause problems for anyone and there's nothing in the school rules that suggests punishment for being on the roof. He assumes Yuta got dragged into this by his brother again, anyway.

He tells Yuta to be more careful, since a part of the roof has been deteriorating lately. It's dangerous up there, and caused an incident in the past; supposedly a trivial "frequent" thing.

Akiomi is on night watch and will be there until morning, so he's going to be locking up the gates soon. He sends Yuta on his way, tells him to call him if he runs into trouble on the way home, and tell any other students that it's time to leave if he sees them.

Yuta takes out his phone to message Hinata so they can leave, but starts feeling afraid about being alone in the school at night. He gets scared by a weird noise-like nails on a chalkboard or some kind of rapping sound—and sees a light in one of the nearby classrooms.

Izumi is helping Anzu with her work (even though she didn't ask him) because he expected Makoto to show up (even though she never said that). It's getting late, and the outfits that she's organizing definitely can't be done by one or two people by the end of the night.

He wishes he could ride with Makoto, but if he's nice to Anzu, that should get him in good graces with Makoto too.

According to Izumi, Anzu is lacking in gratitude.
