LLSIFAS ch20 spoilers (live reading)
my translations may be innaccurate I'm going by ear but I'm trying to get a general idea here

ok yuu comes back from abroad a day earlier than she was supposed to, the school idol club is having a live (lanzhu is performing and karin, Shioriko and Ai do her mc and are also her backup dancers on stage)

kasumi sees yuu and after like general I missed u stuff starts wailing and says there's a panic situation and uh . she also mentions that she's not on stage bc she refused to be lanzhu's backup dancer

ok so downloading each story is taking forever so I'm gonna take a minute to batch download the entire chapter so I don't need to wait

ok apparently lanzhu used her power as the chairwoman's daughter to make a deal that uh the school idol club will be restarted with the best equipment best members etc etc where she's the club president +

+ but also demolished the existing club to make way for hers, thus preventing anyone who didn't join her from school idol activities
shioriko karin and ai joined her club bc they wanted to be school idols but they only get to be backup dancers, while the rest of them didnt

next chapter, ai and karin come over to see yuu and they try to talk to kasumi who refuses to look at them in the face, yuu decided she's talking to them as well and hearing their side of the story +

+ ai says how lanzhu has the most professional set up in the club now, she's got pro lessons and equipment and everything and lanzhu is seriously aiming for the top +

+ ai also says that she would rather do school idol activities with everyone as a group than with just the new club members, but at the same time she just couldn't sit around and do nothing until yuu showed up and tried to fix the situation +

+ Ayumu points out that working with lanzhu has changed Ai and Karin's dance and style for the better and they've really improved too

+ Karin says that although she loves her friends (the niji girls) the most and that their friendship is very important to her, she also didn't come to the club ONLY for their sake but also her own. She says she considers the remaining girls as her rivals so she has to work +

+ with Lanzhu to improve herself bc that's what's most important to her as a school idol than her own sentiments. Emma gets angry at this, and says how does it matter if she's in Lanzhu's club if she's just a backup dancer and never gets to sing bc lanzhu is in center +

+ to which karin says that in Lanzhu's perspective, whoever is the most perfect idol gets to stand in the center and Karin believes she will get good enough to overtake lanzhu as center. Kasumi reluctantly also agrees that Lanzhu is just REALLY good, and karin and ai suggest +

+ Yuu and the others to come and visit their club. Emma is the first to decline this though, followed by kasumi Kanata Setsuna and Rina. Shizuku and Ayumu also don't want to go because it's not something they'd love to see or do but Yuu is genuinely interested in the new club +

+ so I'm guessing Yuu is going to the club with Karin and Ai to visit Lanzhu while the others stay behind

Emma seems to be the most angry about all of this which seems unnatural but great character development for her

ok next chapter this is where things get interesting
Ai and Karin take Yuu to meet Lanzhu (and Mia). the clubroom she's set up is CRAZY, the lesson room is extremely professional and she has trainers and staff from abroad, she's got a sauna and showers and everything +

+ Lanzhu says how there's literally nothing undesirable about her club so she doesn't understand why the other girls won't join. She wants to become friends with all of them and make a club where they can perform together but they don't seem to like her at all +

+ Lanzhu asks Yuu to get them to join her club to which Yuu declines saying it's their own decision. Lanzhu then takes Yuu to the song making room where Mia is the one who writes music. Mia is from new york from a family of famous music writers even Yuu recognizes +

+ and Mia is a prodigy basically, she's 14 but she doesn't rly do school, she wrote 5 songs in one day and the previous year 30 of her songs reached top 100 in some international charts, and Yuu is forced to recognize her power and sheer talent +

+ Lanzhu also says Mia loves her which is why she followed her to Japan to make her the best school idol (uh elza forte rei kizaki aistars 2??? except mia speaks actual english) and Yuu is a bit stunned +

+ anyways then they come outside, Lanzhu says how when she saw the niji girls perform at the school idol festival they lit a spark in her and she decided these were the right girls for her (which sounds pretty sweet at first) +

+ and Lanzhu says how she knows these will be the right girls to make her the number 1 school idol (so essentially she plans on keeping them her backup dancers for as long as she needs) to which Yuu gets mad at? and then Lanzhu is like if you want it that badly I guess +

+ I'll let one of them perform from time to time which Yuu definitely doesn't seem to like, and then Lanzhu is like OH i see the only reason you don't seem to like this idea is bc you were the songwriter of the old club and since I've got Mia i have no use for you +

+ and Lanzhu is like but oh well if you really want to be in the club that badly I could ask Mia to make you her helper or smth but she's stubborn and might decline (this definitely hurt Yuu's sentiments) and Lanzhu is like the rest of them are actually useful to me except you +

Anyways Yuu is now hurt and angry and she just disagrees with Lanzhu and leaves (expected) and that's where the chapter ends
looks like Lanzhu's perspective of school idols and friends is . really different from what it actually is

next chapter, Yuu is pondering over what Lanzhu said to her when Shioriko comes to meet her, and now we get to know more about Lanzhu since Shioriko is her childhood friend +

+ Yuu tells Shioriko about what Lanzhu said about her and Shioriko says not to take it to heart because Shioriko believes it's not true and she prefers Yuu as a club president and music writer for Niji +

+ Shioriko tells Yuu how Lanzhu is a bit aloof, she doesn't understand the concept of working together because she is a prodigy herself. She has a lot of traits one could envy her for, she's rich and she is always striving to be the best at what she does +

+ However, Shioriko also believes Lanzhu hasn't realized there are things she cannot have or cannot be and hopes that the old school idol club and Yuu can make her realize that and the power of working together instead of everything being about who's on top and who's not +

+ Shioriko is in Lanzhu's club for now because she is her friend (and clearly cares a whole lot about Lanzhu) but also because as the student council president she has to assist the workings of the club (probably since Lanzhu's mom is the chairwoman) +

+ but Shioriko fully agrees to support Yuu in bringing the old club back, since that's the club she cares about and wants to be in too. Yuu also wants to show Lanzhu that their club is just as good (and probably become friends with her)

+ anyways back at rooftop where everyone else is, Kasumi and the others cheer up Yuu over what Lanzhu told her and say she's irreplaceable, and then Yuu asks each one of them to really consider joining Lanzhu's club. Yuu agrees with the sentiments +

+ but she also doesn't want them to stop doing school idol activities until things can be sorted out, and also tells them about what she talked with Shioriko about Lanzhu. Kasumi, Emma, Kanata and Ayumu immediately decline bc they need Yuu to be the school idol they want to be +

+ while Shizuku, Setsuna and Rina ask for some time to really give it some thought. Kasumi nervously asks if they'd stay behind with the rest of them when the chapter ends
(assuming from the spoilers i think Shizuku chooses to go to Lanzhu's side, but we'll see)

chikayou in the next chapter w

ok so in this chapter, Honoka, Kotori, Umi, Chika and You have come to meet Yuu since she got back, so they meet at the famires (Ayumu and Kasumi go with Yuu). They talk about the training camp (the intermission chapters) and fill in Yuu about the zombie story and everything +

+ Chika says how the school idol festival's success has brought in a lot of messages from foreign fans and more foreigner idols like Emma coming to Japan to become school idols, to which Kasumi says how not all of that was a good thing which leads to them telling the whole story

+ to Honoka and the others. Kasumi also says how the other day Kanata and Setsuna tried to practice early in the morning but Lanzhu now has student council members to monitor and kick them out if they try to practice +

+ and Kasumi says how despite looking strong and everything Yuu is saying all these weird stuff like asking the members to join the other club and stuff and You and Chika cheer up Yuu, like it might be frustrating but we gotta do our best (hehe good food for me) +

+ this is when Honoka suggests that since the monitors from the student council only prevent them from practicing in school, all the Nijigaku members should just go and practice with muse in Otonokizaka which Ayumu and Kasumi are happy to agree with (that's where this chap ends)

I'll read the rest later I have to head out for a bit w
