Aikatsu Era!

S1 E27: Queen of the Night

Reyna Harusame 春雨 レイナ

The second term has already begun. I was just enjoying summer vacation.

  And a few days ago, on my birthday, I formed a unit with Kosaka Hatsuko as requested by Akizora Ayame. Since then, I've been spending lots of time with her.

  On the first day of the second term, we went to the newly renovated auditorium building which was in between the middle school campus and high school campus. Headmistress Misaki was about to give an opening speech.

  "Good morning everybody," she began. "It is now the beginning of the second term. As you may know, the top student of the school, Akizora Ayame, is currently at the hospital. However, I hope that this piece of information will not discourage everyone here. Continue putting effort in your work and don't forget to rest well."

  Once the morning assembly was over, everybody headed to class. But for me, I had to follow Kosaka to several places. I met her at the entrance of the auditorium.

  "All right, Harusame," she said. "Today, we'll be having a radio programme at TEC Radio Station which is next to Seiza Studios. Then tomorrow, we'll do a recording of our song and a fan meeting."

  I nodded as the two of us walked to the main entrance. While we were walking, I asked, "Um, Kosaka-senpai, why did you and Akizora decide to choose me as your unit partner? I'm glad, but it honestly feels so... random."

  Kosaka looked at the ground. "I knew that you'd ask. To be honest, Ayame saw something special in you. After she told me that, I decided to observe you as well. And she was right, you have a special aura in you. We're quite curious about you, so we wanted to see your abilities."

  I stayed quiet for a while before saying, "Is it related to me knowing Akizora's sickness?"

  "Slightly," she admitted. "You're probably the most observant person I know, Harusame. Also, you're kind of like Ayame in your way. You're both so persistent. I hope through this unit, we'll be able to know each other better."

   We got to the main entrance where the van was waiting for us. "Alright, Kosaka-senpai. I'll do my best to be your unit partner."

  Kosaka smiled at me.

While we were on the van, Kosaka and I were thinking of a good unit name.

  "We should have something that would represent the two of us," she suggested.

  I wonder what the two of us had in common. We're both girls who like cool-type clothing and music.

  "What do you like, Kosaka-senpai?" I asked.

  "One of the things I like is stargazing," my senpai replied. "I've always been interested in constellations and celestial objects. That's why my favourite brand is my uncle's brand, Celestial Goth. We used to always stargaze together when I was still a child."

  "That's interesting," I said. "I like reading English novels and Japanese Manga, as well as watching anime. It's a common activity, but I enjoy it."

  Kosaka nodded. "Simple things are relaxing."

  We stayed quiet for a while. I continued to think about names for our unit.

  As we got to the radio station, I said, "I like our song. The instrumentals and lyrics are awesome."

  "Me too," Kosaka told me quietly. "Reminds me of Ayame. She used to be a ballerina before becoming a gymnast. I mean, where else would she get the experience?"
