Aikatsu Era!

S1 E38: Our Nature Song

Reyna Harusame 春雨 レイナ

Being a leader is not easy. Apparently, according to Kiyoko and Sayako, we ought to self-produce ourselves.

"Self-produce?" I asked them.

  "It's self-explanatory," Sayako said.

  I scratched my head. Perhaps this "self-produce" thing helps us become more independent Aikatsu idols.

  "What did you two do to 'self-produce'?" I asked.

Kiyoko and Sayako turned to each other. "Well, we promoted our live on a talk show and booked a venue," the former answered.

"All by ourselves," Sayako added. "And you have to sell your tickets on your own. We didn't do that, thankfully."

I sighed. That's a lot of work to handle.

"Oh, don't forget the unit coords!" Kiyoko noted.

Nodding, I told them, "Thanks for reminding me. I'll sort things out with Yana and Syurina later."

  "You can do it, Reyna-chan!" Kiyoko encouraged.

The two of them had to go to a Coconut Ice event afterwards. Meanwhile, I went to look for Syurina and Yana.

When I found my unit members, we hung out at a bench.

  "So Kiyoko and Sayako told me about this 'self-produce' thing," I told them.

"That shouldn't be too bad," Yana said calmly. "I'm actually excited to do that!"

"It would really benefit our Aikatsu," Syurina agreed.

My two friends smiled. However, I still felt unsure about what I had to do as a leader. I guess my friends could tell.

"Is everything alright, Reyna-chan?" Syurina asked.

"I'm not so sure where to start," I admitted. "We have to deal with the venue, promotion and presentation.

Yana placed her hand on my shoulder. "We should get the presentation done first. Like the dance, debut song and coords."

Syurina nodded. "Yana-chan's right. About the coords, they should be nature-themed."

My friends turned to me. Then Yana started, "Maybe we can ask Mizuhara-san to help if she doesn't mind. Is that alright, Reyna-chan?"

"I can try," I answered.

I wanted to continue talking about my unit, but my alarm rang. It was time to go to work.

"Let's talk more about this later," I told my friends. "Gotta go to work."

Yana and Syurina smiled. "Take care!" the latter said.

"Say 'hi' to Gin for me!" Yana laughed.

I couldn't stop thinking about Natura. Despite being in other units before, I didn't take much responsibility compared to this one.

Perhaps I could observe how to be a good leader at work.

When I got to work, I heard Fukui call me. But unlike previous times, she sounded quieter.

"Harusame, you weren't here last time," she complained.

I placed my hand at the back of my head. "Well... I decided to take a day-off because it was off-time for idols," I explained.

"You signed up for this job, but you don't do it," she said in disappointment. "My, my, Harusame. Did you even tell anyone that you were going to have a day-off? Shibagaki doesn't count."
