"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 Lilsan 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 .
"Lilsan!"
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 .
"Lilsan, 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 .
