With the arrival of summer vacation, the girls begin training at the beach in preparation for Love Live while also helping out at a run-down snack bar. Meanwhile, Chika overhears that Riko has been invited to a piano recital that takes place on the same day as the Love Live preliminaries. Although Riko tells her that she plans to do Love Live with everyone, Chika remains worried about it. After hearing Riko's piano playing for herself, Chika encourages Riko to follow her own feelings and go to the piano recital.
