After a successful graduation performance, Yuuta Hoshitani and the other second-years start preparing for the upcoming Ayanagi Festival. This year’s event marks the first time the students will be without their Kao Council mentors, granting them the creative freedom to pursue their own ideas. Hoping to perform together for a change, the second-years decide to stage a joint production. The festival’s opening ceremony will also serve another purpose: to announce next year’s Kao Council candidates. The Kao Council declares that Team Hiiragi has been chosen for the opening ceremony performance, barring them from joining the collaboration. This decision shocks and enrages Hoshitani and the others, creating a rift between them and the Kao Council. In an effort to realize their dreams, the students begin to devise a plan to ensure that all the second-years can perform together on stage.
