"Lila is?"
Amid getting his hair fixed, Austin Kiryu received an unexpected call from Kasumi. For a split second, he panicked - thinking that something happened to Lila. After all, that girl has been doing some pretty reckless things lately. He was preparing himself for the extent of the damage but much to his relief; she didn't get hurt.
"Yeah, for this many problems to pop up is strange but we can investigate that later. Right now Lila is running all across the shopping district from the areas near the stage to the end."
"Till the end? The shopping district is huge, and there are thousands of catering places. She isn't going to check every single one of them is she?" Kiryu asked.
Kasumi's short 'well' confirmed his thoughts. Kiryu recalled something he saw during the morning. He was working in a nearby building and saw Lila from the window. The girl had hurt her leg. A deep sigh escaped his lips, "Even though she's injured," he trailed off. This is the norm, isn't it? Before she performs, later on, we have to take a look at that leg of hers."
Knowing that girl, she probably forgot about her own injury. A deep sigh escaped his lip, Kiryu supposes that's one trait about her that hasn't changed even now.
"I feel ashamed, I only recalled her injury after she left."
"Don't worry about it. Even if you remembered when she was there, that wouldn't have stopped her. In fact this way, you saved yourself some trouble." But, even with the assistant help and the staff members who arrived early. They won't have enough people.
Kiryu turned to the green-haired man on his right, "Wataru, how much can we get done here in an hour`?"
"If we work at a moderate pace, it would take longer. Two hours and a half. But if work speedily and yet effectively, I'd say we can finish up in 30 minutes."
Speedily and effective huh, Kiryu shoots looks at Shougo and Eijiro and the two understood stopped slouching on the couch. He knew his team members were tired but, "Were helping Lila and the others," Shichiro in the middle of his phone call must have explained the situation. Amazingly, he can hear the conversation from where he's standing.
With the mention of just Lila's name, the other two walked approached the director and said to continue. Hey hey now, why don't they show that much enthusiasm normally?
"Tell Kasumi that I sent our assistances too. They ought to be there in 5 minutes," Wataru informed him.
"You heard that?" Kiryu said to the girl on the phone.
"Yes. Really thank you."
"Don't worry about it. When that idiot is working hard all by herself, it makes all of us motivated too."
"That's true."

When both groups of assistants arrived, Kasumi let's out a relieved sigh. Although she has faith in her physical strength, and knowledge on beauty, there's a limit to her help in decorations. After all, there are places she can't reach with her present height. Kasumi scans the group. 5 and 3. .huh?
"Azua, where's Akari?" Kasumi asked. The other one aside, Akari should be here.
"If it's Akari-chan. .."
"She's probably there," Maaya said with a deep sigh, "Honestly, we Goddess4 members should be running around, and the assistants should be doing the manual labor."
Azua laughed, "But, you're stronger than us."
Akari went to help Lila. Ah...
'Who Lila-san is to me? She's the brightest star.'
Kasumi recalled something Akari told her about Lila before, and she clenched her fist. That's right, whether it's Akari or herself. Or anybody else for that matter, everybody thinks of Lila as special.
"Maaya, sorry. Lead the stage decorations in my place!"
Despite the protests that she heard from behind her. Kasumi didn't waste any time bolting out of doors. She too, towards that person ---

East Section Star Town
Lila had covered the entire north of the shopping district and the west. But she received the same responses over and over. 'It's our busiest season, we cannot assist you. 'and when she suggested just lending at least a few people,' Even if you're an idol, you can't just pick out our best workers and walk off with them. 'She said nothing about their best workers. But it quickly became clear to her, that they held some form of dislike to her.
If that's the case, then all she has to do - is prove herself on that stage. So everyone can hear her feelings properly and no longer misunderstand. Lila's declaration with the brand frightened of a lot of the general public. So it's only natural that they dislike her. After all, that radiance is not something ordinary people can understand.
To receive so much hate, though, from people she doesn't even know. It hurts Mother, Ren-san. But she won't give up, she won't - because she has a goal, she has to achieve.
"Lila-san!"
Her thoughts broke off when she spotted a tall girl with a pale complexion and sharp, dual-colored magenta and red eyes. She has curly, silver to pale blue ombre hair styled into four curled ringlets that fall down to her legs, along with a straight cut bang. Pinned into her hair is a dark indigo corsage, adorned by a single purple gemstone and two small black feathers in the center.
"Akari! Eh? You're out of breath. Here I have a handkerchief," Lila took a handkerchief out of her pocket and started to wipe the girls sweat away.
"Lila-san, let me help you."
"Oh, then head over to where the others . ."
Akari shook her head, "No, allow me to assist you. It's not as though I don't think you can't do this alone. Normally it would be impossible. But I know if it's you, a miracle can happen. However, I want to do something to be able to help you."
Akari, her gaze softened. That's right, she isn't alone. "Okay, please do!"
...
With Akari's help, they divided up the east and South - and she could rest for brief moments. 'Even a number one star can't shine in her own, it's only because she has so many people besides her, that she's able to shine brightly. 'Mother, you were right, huh? As expected. But she too realized it awhile back, precisely at the moment of the goddess4 selection cup. Everyone, they all worked hard -so they'd all be able to stand on the same stage as her. So they'd be able to work together.
But even with Akari's help, the shops wouldn't help them. At some point, she realized why that was the case. Even the less popular shops wouldn't help, but they didn't refuse firmly like the ones in the beginning. To her, they looked like they were afraid of something.
"We've looked everywhere already. I wonder if there are any more shops here."
"I've never gone this far myself, perhaps we will find one," Akari commented.
Even if they do, will it be prepared on time? They've already been at this for a while now. If the event fails, everyone's efforts and the school's image --- no-no, Lila shook her head frantically. No more negative. She will make this workout. They've been running around for a while now though. Her stamina has never been the greatest, and she's always been weak as a kid.
As of late, her condition isn't the best, either. Lila felt her breathing become worse by the minute. Maybe she pushed herself too much as Lila thought that, the sights before her suddenly blurred.
Huh, her vision is-- Lila's thoughts broke off when someone grabs hold of her wrist, preventing her fall. "Izumi."
"Good grief, I can't watch you any longer. From the moment you injured your leg this morning, you should have canceled your work."
Lila looked at Izumi blankly, how come he knows about that? Besides even though she injured her leg, it's not like there's a physical wound. Lila didn't have to check to know that.
"No, I will make sure the event is a success."
Izumi looked like he wanted to comment but shook his head before he said, "Calm down, I'm not asking you to go back. If it's a bakery and catering service you want, then there's still one place you can go to."
"Really?!!"
"There is. Lean on me when you walk and don't talk too much."
As she thought before, this person really is odd. However, even though Izumi said he would only watch her silently and step in when there's an incidence. He's been carefully keeping an eye on her injury. Maybe he is a nice person.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
