Aikatsu Era!

S1 E12: Creativity Radiance

Yana Aikyou 愛敬 矢那

Reyna-chan, Syuri-chan, Kiyoko-chan and I were about to perform on stage together. We all held out our rare cards from our favourite brands.

"Reyna Harusame, let's do this!"

"Aikyou Yana, blossoming in radiance!"

"Tanaka Syurina, let my brilliance flourish!"

"Shibagaki Kiyoko, I'm the gold to your silver!"

I'm Not Alone from Aikatsu Friends!

(Reyna = Mio, Yana = Aine, Syurina = Maika, Kiyoko = Ema)

"That was great, wasn't it?" I asked my friends as we walked backstage. Everyone nodded.

"How did you manage to book a stage for us, Kiyoko?" Reyna-chan asked.

Kiyoko grinned. "Kiyoko-chan has amazing Aikatsu powers, doesn't she?"

Reyna and Syurina looked at each other in confusion.

"Anyway," Kiyoko continued with her nose in the air, "I'm glad the four of us can perform together."

"You didn't answer my question, Kiyoko," Reyna muttered.

Syurina-chan and I smiled at each other. We had issues for a while, but now the two of us are talking to each other again. Reyna-chan is truly a great friend.

As the four of us headed towards a dressing room, a familiar young lady waved at me. When I realised who she was, I called out, "Fujita Kikuri-san!"

The two of us walked towards each other. "Aikyou Yana-chan! I saw your stage with your friends, and it was awesome!"

I thanked her. Syurina-chan and Kiyoko-chan greeted Fujita-san while Reyna-chan looked timid.

"This is Fujita Kikuri-san, Reyna-chan," I introduced. "She's the top designer of Pastel Blossom, my favourite brand. And Fujita-san, this Harusame Reyna-chan, my friend from America! She just started last month, but she's so hardworking and kind!"

"Nice to meet you," said Reyna-chan shyly as she bowed.

"Nice to meet you too, Harusame-chan!" Fujita-san replied. "By the way, may I ask if they're here yet?"

"Who are they?" I asked puzzled.

The sound of footsteps emerged from behind us. I turned and saw a group of people who I assumed were from a business.

"Sorry, we're late," the man in front apologised. "We were stuck in traffic. How inconsiderate of us."

"Ikeda-san!" Kiyoko greeted. "He manages my Summer Tropics advertisements!"

"That's right, Shibagaki," Ikeda-san said. "And this time, I will be producing an advertisement for Hokkaido Snowy Cream."

  I beamed in amazement. Hokkaido Snowy Cream sells the best ice cream puffs ever! I remember eating their delicious ice cream puffs every time I visit my relatives in Sapporo.

"This advertisement will be a collaboration between Hokkaido Snowy Cream and Pastel Blossom," Ikeda-san continued. "And we'd like to ask you, Aikyou Yana, to be the image girl of this advertisement, if you're okay with that."
