Aqours achieved the victory in the Love Live final round that they've so longed for. And their last day at Uranohoshi Girls' High School has come. With lots of memories from the days at school in their hearts, students write messages on the buildings of the school that they love so much. The members of Aqours promise each other to say goodbye to their school with smiles instead of tears. At the graduation ceremony, diplomas are conferred by Mari, the school director. And with the school closing announcement by Dia, the student council president, Uranohoshi Girls' High School ends its history. Each student is proud to have been a part of Uranohoshi Girls' High School and now leaves the nest.

The Love Live final round is finally tomorrow. The members of Aqours are headed to Tokyo. When Aqours visits Kanda Shrine only to find many votive tablets showing support for Aqours from the Uranohoshi Girls' High students, they're all moved by their schoolmates' thoughtfulness. At the same time, Chika sees rows and rows of other tablets by many other school idols wishing to win Love Live. When Saint Snow comes to show their support, Sarah asks Chika, ""Do you want to win?"" It is the same question that Chika asked them once in the past. However, re-realizing the existence of school idols who compete in Love Live with the same wish as Aqours', Chika cannot answer that question.

he last school term at Uranohoshi Girls' High School has started. Moved by the suggestion made by Yoshimi, Itsuki, Mutsu, and other students to hold a huge festive event for their school closing festival, Mari readily agrees to it. The day before the event, the members of Aqours along with the other students at school steadily make progress preparing for the event while thinking back on the days they spent at this school. Even when an unexpected trouble happens, with the full support by Mari, the director of the school, and the effort by all the students, they get through the pinch. And finally, after all the students’ efforts to prepare for it, the day of the school closing festival, the last festival ever to be held by Uranohoshi Girls' High School, has arrived.

The New Year has just started, and Chika is full of energy, asking her parents for a New Year's gift. The students have only three months remaining at Uranohoshi Girls' High School. ""We want to win Love Live so that our school's name will become part of Love Live history even after the school is closed."" With that wish in their hearts, the members of Aqours receive special training by Sarah and Leah, who came from Hokkaido to support them. Meanwhile, the third-years, who will go their separate ways after their graduation and won't be able to see each other, decide to go find the shooting stars that they couldn't see when they were small. But this time, they have the other members join them on their search at night in Uchiura.

In order to cheer up Leah, who is feeling down because she messed up her last chance to perform together with her sister at Love Live, Ruby suggests that they hold a live concert together. ""We want our sisters to see a concert that we create on our own so that they can graduate without any worries""... Touched by their feelings as well as by Ruby's kindness, Hanamaru and Yoshiko decide to remain in Hokkaido to support them. While these first-years are preparing for the concert by themselves, Ruby starts thinking that they may hold powers that they themselves aren't even aware of. Although they used to leave things in their sisters' hands, Ruby and Leah take their very first step towards doing things on their own.

During winter break, Aqours is invited as a guest to the Love Live Hokkaido Regional Prelims. Although they're far away from their hometown Numazu, they're asked to be in a picture with their fans, which makes them re-realize the gravity of advancing to the Love Live final round. Before the Regional Prelims start, Aqours visits Saint Snow, who are performing in the event, in their waiting room. Chika and Sarah vow to compete in the final round and make it an event that will go down in Love Live history. Meanwhile, Ruby notices that Leah is acting a little different than usual. And the event ends in a way that no one could have ever imagined...

The Aqours members continue to practice hard for the Love Live Regional Prelims, which they failed the last time. However, since each school will have its students come to support their school idols at the Regional Prelims, Uranohoshi Girls' High School will be at a disadvantage as the number of students is small. Trying to figure out a way to offset this disadvantage, Chika asks Sarah from Saint Snow for advice. Later, the third-years hand over a notebook containing the idea for a difficult dance formation that caused Mari to get injured in the past. What makes them Aqours...? What is their shine...? Although Chika has always thought that she was ""normal"" and ""powerless,"" she challenges herself to perform this difficult move in search of the answers.

The Aqours members have been practicing hard for the Love Live Regional Prelims. On one stormy night, Yoshiko finds a lost puppy. Since she cannot have a pet at her place, she brings the dog to the precincts of a shrine and takes care of it there. But when Riko finds out what she's doing, she asks Riko to look after the dog at her place for a while. First, Riko takes care of the dog timidly. However, she eventually gets friendly with it and ends up even fighting Yoshiko over the dog. But soon, they find the dog's owners and give it back to them. However, believing that meeting the dog was destiny, Yoshiko takes action together with Riko.

After winning first place in the Love Live qualifiers, Aqours is on a roll... Or, so they thought, but because they spent too much money to perform on two stages, their club activity fund is down to five yen. They try to sell things at a flea market, but they have a hard time because of problems like Dia scaring away customers with her aggressive attitude. Meanwhile, Dia starts to think that the first- and second-years are keeping a certain distance from her when she sees them addressing Kanan and Mari with the term of endearment ""-chan,"" and she starts feeling lonely. So she tries hard to get close to the first- and second-years while they're all working in an aquarium. However...

When the school open house is postponed due to the worsening weather, it is decided to be held on the same day as the Love Live qualifiers. After thinking extensively about a way to participate in both the open house concert and the qualifiers, the only idea that they could come up with was to participate in the qualifiers as the first contestant and rush back to school to join the open house. However, they end up not being able to use that approach because the contestant numbers were picked by lottery and they couldn't get the first spot. When they have no choice but to choose either the qualifiers or the school open house, the answer Chika comes up with is...

The members of Aqours start creating songs for the Love Live qualifiers as well as for the live concert at the school open house. However, even though they need to create two songs in such a short time, Chika, once again, has a hard time coming up with lyrics. So Mari suggests that they split into two groups, one made up of the first- and third-years, and the other made up of the second-years, and create one song each. While the members work on the songs in two groups, however, first-years Yoshiko and Hanamaru start having a dispute with third-years Kanan and Mari over the concept of the song, and...

The second school term at Uranohoshi Girls' High School has started! Although Aqours participated in Love Live with the goal to stop their school from closing, they were eliminated in the Regional Prelims, unfortunately. However, instead of getting discouraged, they renew their determination to work hard to participate in the next Love Live. As a first step, in order to increase the number of prospective students, they decide to hold a live concert at the school open house, but just when they start practicing for it, Mari delivers shocking news.
