I'm happy that Honoka, Kotori and Umi were able to help me yesterday, I'm sure the meeting on Sunday will go without complications.
Then, on Monday we're going to gather the materials, petition signatures, and bring them to Shioriko.
The whole school is behind us EXCEPT for the Student Council. There's no way that they can deny the will of the entire student body.
Since μ's lent a hand in helping me out yesterday, it's only reasonable for me to lend them a helping hand today.
I'm supposed to be meeting Kotori at her maid café this morning.
Thinking back to the Joint Solo Live Show, her performance was so good...
Combining a fashion show with a live show is a performance only Kotori could ever pull off.
*RIIING*
Ah, that should be her messaging me.
-------------------------------------------
KOTORI: Kotori here. I've been wanting to say thank you for supporting me during the solo live show. I'll be waiting for you at the café I work at!
-------------------------------------------
This is the café Kotori works at, right? Been a while since I was last here. Even though I said I'd stop by again sometime...
MINALINSKY: "Oh! You came!"
AKI: "Thank you for inviting me, Kotori!"
MINALINSKY: *Giggle* "In here it's Minalinsky, remember?"
AKI: "Oh right, my bad."
MINALINSKY: "It's fine, don't worry. I could've just spoken to you in the clubroom like usual, but I figured it's nice to change things up every once in a while.
Go on, grab a seat! I'll treat you to a nice breakfast of omelet rice and royal milk tea today!"
AKI: "Ooh! Thanks!"
...
MINALINSKY: "Let me say this again. Great job on the solo live show and congrats on making it a success!"
AKI: "Huh?! H-Hold up, Ko- Minalinsky!"
MINALINSKY: "What's wrong?"
AKI: "It wasn't my show. You're the performers, you're the ones who made it a success. So, I should be the one saying those things to you."
MINALINSKY: "Oh... Right. *Giggle* It was just that I thought it was a success thanks to your help behind the scenes."
AKI: "Then allow me to give you a few words of my own.
And these are for Kotori. It was a really amazing performance, where we got to enjoy your music and fashion.
Congrats on the huge success!"
MINALINSKY: *Giggle* "Thanks!"
AKI: "When I was watching you, it occured to me that you said you wouldn't be able to pull off a solo performance. But it was really solid and made me think about how dependable you really are."
MINALINSKY: "Really? I wanted to bring joy to as many people as possible, even as a solo performer, so that's what I put my heart into!
I'm glad we got to speak like this today because I wanted to really expeess my gratitude to you. Thanks for coming!"
AKI: "Not at all, thank you!"
MINALINSKY: "Oh, and there's something I wanted to talk to you about today."
AKI: "What is it? I'll help out in any way I can."
MINALINSKY: "Well, actually... I've been approached about doing some idol clothing design. Not school idol... Professional."
AKI: "What?! You've been asked to design clothes?"
MINALINSKY: "Pretty shocking, huh? I'm having trouble deciding myself."
AKI: "Kotori... You've made it!"
MINALINSKY: "Huh?"
AKI: "The big time! Something like this will be the perfect platform to launch a fashion career!"
MINALINSKY: "Y-You think so?"
AKI: "I know so! So, what's the lucky agency? 346? Doing some work for their Cinderella Project?"
MINALINSKY: "No, it's not an agency but rather an experimental tech company."
AKI: "Huh?"
MINALINSKY: "There's a company looking to bring idol performances to the next level. Creating an augmented reality for stages, crowds and costumes."
AKI: "Whoa! Is something like that even possible?"
MINALINSKY: "I'm not sure. But I'd love to see it if they can make it. I'm supposed to draw designs to fit on small cards."
AKI: "Hm, it sounds interesting. Imagine if we could pull something like that off at the School Idol Festival?"
MINALINSKY: "That would be incredible!"
*Sigh* If only, but we're struggling to secure Nijigasaki as a venue...
