While contemplating various alternatives to performing on one of the main stages for the Love Live preliminaries, the girls consider streaming from within their school, before realizing it would be harder to appeal to voters that way. With help from the broadcasting club, Honoka, Umi, and Hanayo use the school's broadcast system to both spread word of their performance and give themselves more practice addressing crowds. While trying to find a suitable location where they haven't already performed before, the girls are invited to UTX Academy by the members of A-Rise, who have been keeping a close eye on each of μ's' members. After stating their intention to not lose against them, A-Rise offers to let μ's perform on their stage atop of UTX Academy's roof for the preliminaries. With the girls intimidated after seeing A-Rise's performance, Honoka pumps up the group while the other students come to show their support as μ's performs the new song they created together.
