Ready…
The time finally came. Aya, Tomokazu, and I had prepared every single detail for the announcement of the album's release date. We updated our social media profiles with pictures and banners that had the release date—made by Jun—accompanied by a short phrase: Idols Are Back. The background of the images was pink and the letters were white. We then posted a short video—also made by Jun—showing short sequences of Japan based on antique pictures from the two thousands; the city, rural towns, beaches, and mountains. One of the sequences showed an idol group performing a show for two seconds, although with their faces out of frame. The final sequence showed the girls from the back, wearing the Blostars costume, facing a white void while pink leaves floated around them. After a couple of seconds, a pink leaf covered the screen and the same phrase from the banners ap

Set…
The show came to an end. I would've loved to give food to our guests, but that would've been too expensive and would've required more planning. Thankfully, they all seemed content to just head home after sharing their thoughts and saying goodbye. I made it home by midnight and fell dead on my bed. I woke up somewhat early, so I reviewed the notes Aya, Tomokazu, and I had made. Then, when it was time, I walked to HQ with Aki and checked the office before heading to the dance studio. We arrived to see Satō standing still in the middle of the room with her hands on her waist and the girls lying on the floor. They didn't react to me arriving at all and Satō giggled as she saw me. Before any word could be said, Aki joined the girls on the floor. "Are you okay?" I asked them. Read more
Showtime
As the girls and Aya chatted with Kiku and ate, Miki, Tomokazu, Satō, and I moved all of the equipment from the vans into the storage room. Even though Butcher stood outside in front of the door, the small room was cramped with boxes and people. "Should we start assembling everything?" I asked Miki, not giving him even five seconds to breathe. "We could take it slowly, but we might run short on time if there's a problem." "Let's start now, then." "Can I help?" Satō asked. "I won't be doing much until the girls start to warm up anyway." "That'd be great," I replied. "I need five minutes," Tomokazu panted. "I'm not used to this much physical activity in such a short amount of

Hard Work Payoff
I turned off the lights of the storage room before opening the door that led into the café. I glanced outside, only to see dim rays of sunlight passing through the narrow gap between the windows and the closed shutters. I could barely see anything else. "We are going," I told Miki through my glasses. "Understood," he replied. A second later, the orchestral track faded out. The crowd cheered for a few seconds before falling completely silent. I signaled the girls to follow me with my hand and stepped outside the storage room. I made sure that they were behind me before walking through the narrow corridor. No claps nor whistles sounded yet, meaning they hadn't seen the girls. I reached Aya, Tomokazu, and Miki, who stood in the corridor. The platform could already be se

Worth for Celebration
The girls wanted to take a shower as soon as possible, so they took turns to shower one by one. Meanwhile, there was a lot of equipment to disassemble, but the crowd was still heading out of the café. Several minutes later, the place was empty enough for Aya, Tomokazu, Miki, Satō, and I to start disassembling everything. We walked into the café and the few people that remained inside clapped at us. I didn't know how to react until Aya hit my arm. "Wave and smile," she whispered. Not having time to properly process what she said, I complied and waved and smiled at the small group of people. They seemed content before walking out of the café. "It wasn't so hard, was it?" Aya smirked. "Yeah, but I shouldn't be the center of

Cautious Procedures
A sudden thought attacked my mind and made me sit up in a jump. The black sweater guy…. Could he be the hacker? It can't be. Am I going crazy? But it makes sense. "My arm…," Aki complained hoarsely. My jump had flung her arm backward. She rolled over some so she faced up. "Sorry. Did I hurt you?" She shook her head. "Why did you wake up? A nightmare?" "No." I sighed. "You'd worry if I told you it's nothing or not to worry about it, wouldn't you?" "Obviously." I stared down at the blanket before continuing. "Do you remember the fan that shook your hands?"

Harsh Critics
The interrogation lasted ten minutes. Although Mr. Mochizuki asked similar questions to what he had asked the first time I had come, he added a few more specific to the current situation. "That wraps it up for now. Thank you for your cooperation," he said. "Your findings will be of great help to solve this case once and for all." "I'm just doing anything I can to prevent something similar from happening again, whether I'm the victim or anyone else." "That's good to hear," he smirked. I stood up to head out. However, he stopped me. "Mr. Miyahara," he called me. "May I get a little personal?" I expected anything but that. "Sure…,"

The Misunderstood Violet
Even though we had secured three more shows, the day didn't end on a high note. I waited for everyone to go home and Aki waited for me. I walked her to her apartment before heading to my Business Administration lecture. As usual, Professor Fuku sat at her desk when I entered the room, waiting for the students to arrive. I approached her. "Good evening, Professor Fuku," I smiled. "Good evening, Miyahara. You seem content today. Is it because you finished your project?" "Actually, it is practically finished. I'll just add more details over the coming month until the deadline." "Wonderful," she smiled. "Seeing you doing well makes me very happy." For a moment, we stared at each

Affection Improvement
Half of the workday had passed. I sat at my desk, doing my daily work and chatting with Aya and Tomokazu to come up with new ideas, when Aki knocked on the glass door of the office. "Come in," I said. She entered the room. "It's not common for someone to come here," I continued. "Did something happen?" "Can't I just come to see my Galactical Prince?" "Bleh," Aya uttered in disgust. I sighed. "I'd prefer if you called me by my name while we're at work." "That's not what you say when we…. Nevermind. Alright, Boss. I'm here to ask you if you're available tonight." The question caught m

Climbing Up
Aki and her parents promptly frowned as soon as I said that. I kept smiling, sitting between my parents. "Can you elaborate?" Aki's father asked. "Sure," I replied, taking a moment to formulate my words. "I started a widget repairing business as soon as I turned sixteen." "You did?" Aki said. "Obviously, I know nothing about technology. I convinced a classmate to start the business with me, she was a genius. People came to repair stuff like their glasses or antique computers. We quickly became popular in the neighborhood. However, even though she was incredibly fast at repairing stuff, we got to a point where we couldn't keep up with the requests." I paused to take a deep breath. Dad placed his hand on my shoulder and mi
