PriPara: Joy Or Sorrow (Finished)

Chapter 23 (Part 2)

As they were enjoying the picnic, Shion suddenly mentioned their memories together of the past years.

- "The reason I decided to becone an idol was..." - Shion said as she had a flashback.

Flashback...

Shion was watching Solami Smile's performance as one girl said.

- "It's Solami Smile, they're so cute!"

- "They'll definitely become Divine Idols!"

"Become Divine Idols?" - Shion thought.

- "She who dares, wins! To conquer the world I'll take on these three first!" - Shion pointed at the screen.

Back to reality...

- "So you became an idol because you admired us-pri?" - Mirei laughed a little, then she turned to see Laala, who was trying to flip the Okonomiyaki, "Ah Laala, it's too early-pri."

- "R-Really?" - Laala said as Mirei and Shion both looked at her. She looked somehow so pale but she was successful in hiding it.

- "No! It's just when I became the World Go Champion, I was at the peak, with no challengers in sight. So I searched for new foes." - Shion perfectly flipped the Okonomiyaki as she said. Then she turned to her teammate, "Dorothy. Pass me the seaweed."

- "It'll get stuck in your teeth." - Dorothy said as she gave Shion seaweed.

- "Idols don't get it stuck in their teeth!" - Shion said as she took the seaweed.

- "Everyone, the yakisoba pasta is done." - Leona said.

- "I'll have some." - Sophie said after eating a sandwich.

Laala was eating the sausages and she said.

- "I want some too." - Laala gave her plate to Leona.

Flashback...

As SoLaMi SMILE went to trade PriTickets with each other, Shion came by and commented on how much of a worthy opponent Mirei was, then she force-traded Friend Tickets.

- "Shion, what have you done-pri?"

- "To draw against me, you've got potential. Friend Ticket Exchange!" - Shion threw her Friend Ticket to Mirei.

- "Shion-san, thank you too." - Laala looked at Shion and said.

- "I didn't really do anything. But..." - Shion walked to Laala, somewhat forcefully swapped Friend Tickets with Solami Smile, "I'll be taking these."

Shion walked away afterwards as Solami Smile looked at her in awe.

Back to reality...

- "You forced us to snap-pri." - Mirei looked at Shion and said.

- "Only because I thought I'd found a new rival then. Basically, I saw potential in you all." - Shion said.

- "So, you never thought of us as rivals until that point?" - Laala asked.

- "Yeah, I'd heard you were an up and coming team, but I thought I'd beat you out right away." - Shion answeres.

- "What do yoy mean by that-pri?" - Mirei was annoyed at that.

- "Now now, don't get mad." - Dorothy suddenly got nice makong Solami Smile scared.

- "Oh, now I remember. That time we won against you three, you refused to snap with me." - Laala smiled.
