Aikatsu Era!

S1 E33: Pleiades Shower ☆

Reyna Harusame 春雨 レイナ

Pleiades Shower ☆'s announcement went viral after the Dual Unit Cup. A few days later, my friends and I were packing our stuff for our seven-person unit tour.

  "I just came back from tour," I spoke as I placed my stuff into my bag. "Now I'm going on tour again."

  "Isn't that how life is like for popular idols?" Yana pointed out.

  I shrugged, holding my Aikatsu binder in my hands. I've been collecting a lot of cards with clothes on them, mostly referred to as Aikatsu cards or coords if they're a full set. Looking at these cards remind me of how much I've progressed since I started.

  Now it's time for the next arc of my Aikatsu era.

  Yana and I walked to the main entrance when we were done packing. Syurina was already waiting there.

  "Good morning, Reyna-chan, Yana-chan," Syurina said when she saw us. "I'm honestly quite nervous because I've never been on tour before."

  "Hey guys!" Kiyoko's voice called. She was accompanied by Sayako and Hatsuko.

  "Kiyoko! Sayako! Hatsuko-senpai!" I exclaimed.

When the three of them reached us, Hatsuko greeted, "Good morning, Reyna, Aikyou, Tanaka."

"You can just call us by our first names, Kosaka-senpai!" Yana told her cheerfully. "After all, we're gonna be really close in this tour!"

Hatsuko blushed. "If you'd like me to. Then you can call me Hatsuko."

"I'm so used to calling you Kosaka-senpai since primary," Sayako said. "Oh, I never actually told you guys that except Kiyoko, right?"

Yana, Syurina and I looked at one another in surprise. "Wow, Sayako," I started, "there's still a lot I don't know about you. All of you, actually."

Kiyoko grinned. "That's okay, Reyna-chan! This is gonna be exciting, especially because Kiniro☆Nadeshiko hasn't been on tour."

Sayako patted Kiyoko's shoulder. A minute later, the van that was going to take us to our destination arrived. Ayame, Headmistress Misaki and another woman emerged from the van.

"Good morning girls," the headmistress said warmly. "Today will be your first day on tour as Pleiades Shower ☆. This is Kagawa Nara, and she will be your manager."

"Nice to meet you!" Kagawa-san greeted.

"Nice to meet you!"

"Let's place your stuff in the van, shall we?" Kagawa suggested.

  We all helped one another place our belongings in the van. Once we were done, we said goodbye to Headmistress Misaki and headed for our tour.

  "This is so exciting!" Kiyoko cheered.

  "We just left, Kiyoko," Sayako said with a sweatdrop.

  "I'm still excited!"

  Ayame chuckled. "This is a great opportunity for us to know one another more, isn't it?"

  My friends and I nodded. The seven of us have never been together like this before.

  "Can we call you Ayame-senpai instead of Akizora-senpai?" Yana asked her. "We're already calling Hatsuko-senpai by her first name."

  "Of course!" Ayame replied joyfully. "We don't have to be so formal. We're like sisters, don't you think?"

  Yana, Syurina and Kiyoko nodded. Then Hatsuko said, "No wonder why we're called Pleiades Shower ☆."
