S1 E28: Dreaming on Ice

Sayako Hidaka 氷高 紗野子

My body was tired after figure skating for two hours. The moment I got back to my dorm room, I collapsed on my bed.

"I'm back," I said in exhaustion as I hugged my blanket.

A few minutes later, the door opened. Kiyoko had just returned from her advertisement filming.

"I'm back!" she energetically exclaimed as she jumped on her bed.

  Sometimes I can't believe that Kiyoko is older than me. I feel like her adoptive older sister even though I'm the younger one.

  "How's work?" I asked, still lying on my bed.

  "Awesome!" Kiyoko answered in joy. "I got to eat a delicious sundae!"

  I sighed. She always thinks about food.

  Speaking of food, Kiyoko and I headed to the cafeteria to have dinner. Yana and Syurina were waiting for us.

  When we were all seated, Yana said, "It feels different without Reyna-chan, doesn't it?"

  Syurina nodded. "She must be really busy with Cassiopeia at the moment. Ever since they debuted, Reyna and Kosaka-senpai have been performing a lot. I heard that they're in Osaka at the moment."

  I took a sip of my drink. "That's where Kosaka-senpai's from. I bet there are a lot of fans over there."

  "I hope they're having fun!" Kiyoko said cheerfully. "By the way, I heard that Fukui and a few others are mad that Reyna's not here to work. I wonder what will happen to her when she comes back."

  I shrugged. Reyna can't please everyone.

  After dinner, the four of us took a walk around the school. Then Yana said, "Hey, didn't we agree on forming units?"

  "You're right," I noted. "How are we gonna do that?"

  Kiyoko nodded then pouted. "I want to form a unit with all of you! But I want to form a duo unit so that I can rival Cassiopeia! I know!"

  Kiyoko took her phone out and began typing our names on some website. Then our names were separated into two columns.

  "There we have it! Yana-chan and Sayako-tan will be in a unit. Syurina-chan and I will be together!"

  Yana and I nodded at each other. I wonder how the two of us will do.

  "Let's do our best, Sayako-chan," Yana said as she held my hands.

  "Syuri-chan and I won't hesitate to step up our game," Kiyoko proclaimed with a proud smile. "Right, Syuri-chan?"

  "Yeah, probably," Syurina replied shyly.

  Our units have been decided. Time to begin our training!

The next day, the four of us had begun practising together. We danced to different songs and did special appeals during recess.

"Have you two come up with a name for your unit yet, Sayako-tan?" Kiyoko asked as we took a break.

"Do you think I would tell you that?" I replied with an eyebrow raised.

"Yeah, you would," Kiyoko said smugly. "If it helps, we didn't think of a unit name yet."

Yana and Syurina sat down next to us. "We didn't come up with a unit name either," the former answered.

Just as I was about to speak, my phone vibrated in my pocket.

"Yukinari Tamaki-san?" I spoke when I saw the notification. "It's been a long time since I last saw him."
