PriPara: Breakthrough

The Science of Popular People

"Congrats guys!"

"You guys finally got your Charms, and have your Idol Types, too!" Kazue came to hug Maiko and me as we were walking down the halls.

"Thanks. Now we can finally set up a formal rivalry with Charlotte, right, Iris?" Maiko asked me.

"Hah. Charlotte will NOT lose to you. Count on that, even if you guys end up on the same team!" Kazue exclaimed.

"I'm assuming that Erika's Team will be one of the strongest. Because of her very high social skills and talent, she's got her ace." I said. "That's why I'm aiming to get on her team." I said.

"But an idol can join one or more teams, as long as they're not leaders. And there should only be 5 members per team." Maiko explained.

"So, Erika's basically a leader. Counts as one member." Kazue said. "Sorry if I'm butting in or something, just trying to figure stuff out with you guys." Kazue said.

*Kazue's Thoughts: When in fact I'm not OP at all... 😑*

But suddenly...

Weirdness was about to begin.

"Ow!"

"Hey, watch where you're going, kid!" I exclaimed.

"S-Sorry!" She bowed repeatedly.

"Wait a minute..."

"Brown, curly twin tails..."
"Average elementary height..."

"Aren't you associated with Louisa?!" Kazue shouted.

"Y-Yes! Yes I am!" The girl said.

She started shaking our hands one by one.

"I'm Hikari! Hikari Nomikara! 6th Grade, Class D! Nice to meet you guys!" She said cheerily.

"She seems cheerful, but she looks like a mess..." I whispered to Kazue.

"Agree. Does she even go to sleep? She looks like she stays up ALL NIGHT." He replied.

"Okay... Back to my question, Hikari. How do you know Louisa?" Kazue asked again.

"I don't have many friends, but I'm known here 'cause I'm weird and I eat paper, but people tell me not to. But paper tastes like nothing! Hahahahahaha...." Hikari said.

"Disgusting, she eats paper..." I said.

"It's unhuman." Kazue sweat-dropped.

"I don't know if she's an alien or whatever." Maiko sweat-dropped as well.

"Okay, kid. Answer my question already!" Kazue said, losing his temper.

"I have a question..." Hikari said.

"Are you three a love triangle?" She tilted her head.

*Silence*

"WHAT THE HELL?!"

"ALRIGHT, THAT'S IT! SHE IS OFFICIALLY A BLOCKHEAD!" Kazue stomped off, not taking Hikari's extreme stupidity.

"Kaz, where are you going?" I said.

"Away. I QUIT, I'M OUTTA HERE!" Kazue was frustrated.

"I'm sorry! I know I'm really useless!" Hikari said as we left.

(Back to the three of us)

"Man, I couldn't take that kid! She's beyond the mind of a possessed person!" He said.

"It was... very unhuman alright." I said.

"Imagine if she got recruited in a Dream Team..." Maiko said.
