Aikatsu Era!

S1 E15: Modern Starlet

Ayame Akizora 秋空 菖蒲

"I'm done!" I said when I finished my sewing my premium rare.

My brand, Modern Starlet, was going to have a special event next week. Summer was almost coming near, so I decided to create an outfit with an elegant, summer feel.

I brought my outfit to the design room in the middle school building as it was closer to my dorm. While I was walking, a lot of people passing by looked at me in awe.

"Woah! It's Akizora Ayame-san!" said one of the students.

"I'm so glad to see her today!" another added.

I smiled and waved. I was no stranger to being well-known. After all, I'm the current top idol in Japan.

Everyone aims to be a top idol. But being in that position is stressful. Everybody expects a lot from you. And I don't know whether I will be able to keep that position for so long.

When I arrived in the design room, I placed my creation into the mannequin in the glass container.

"Is that Akizora Ayame-san in the design room?" I heard someone ask.

I turned and saw a girl peeking at me through the door.

"Hello!" I greeted with a wave. "Would you like to see my latest premium rare?"

"Of course, Akizora-san!" the girl replied enthusiastically.

I invited her inside the room. "This is the Sunset Champagne Coord. I'll be wearing it for my next Modern Starlet Collection of the year."

The girl's face lit up. "Wow! Your brand is elegant and mature, just like you!"

"Arigato! By the way, what's your name?"

The girl blushed. "Furuya Seika."

I wanted to continue our conversation, but my phone's alarm rang. It was time for me to take my medication.

"I have to go now, Furuya-chan," I told her. "See you soon!"

"What about your premium rare, Akizora-san?" she asked, pointing at the glass container.

Oops, I thought. I came all this way to turn my outfit into cards, but then I forgot about it.

"You're right," I said apologetically. I took the remote and pressed the button.

Instantly, the coords transformed into cards. I took them and handed them over to Furuya to let her see.

Furuya's eyes sparkled. "Wow! I wish I'll be able to get a premium rare soon!"

Giggling, I said, "Don't worry. I'm sure you'll get one soon. Just keep putting effort into your Aikatsu."

Furuya nodded. "Okay, Akizora-san! See you soon!"

Right after I took my medication, I checked my schedule.

"4.15 — Medical Appointment. 5.10 — Talk Show. 5.30 — Advertising. 6 — Live at Kirameki Livehouse," I read. Being a top idol was a lot of work. I sighed as I sat on the sofa in the living room.

After my live, I had to go to my rhythmic gymnastics class. Then, I needed to have another appointment afterwards.

  "You're a strong girl, Ayame," I told myself with a clenched fist. "I'll be fine."

  After preparing my stuff, I made my way to the main entrance. Carrying my student bag and my rhythmic gymnastics apparatus was quite a hassle for my delicate body.
