The Idol Story

"Hi Kasumi" she greeted as she got in the car.

"Hey Yamato" I smile at her.

We arrived at the agency then me and yamato were taken to a floor that has a dance studio and a changing room on it.

"Do we have dance lessons today?" Yamato asked.

"Yeah, you do. Did you check your schedule spreadsheet this morning?" Miss Uzumi replied.

"I was in a hurry this morning so i forgot..." Yamato said laughing nervously.

Miss Uzumi sighs, "Did you atleast bring a tracksuit with you?"

"Yeah, i do." Yamato takes out a tracksuit from her bag.

"Ok, you two go in the changing room and change into your tracksuits." Miss Yamato leads us to the front of the changing room. We both changed into our tracksuits and we were taken to the dance studio.

When we entered the room we saw two other girls doing a dance rehersal, one of the girls has had pink long hair like mine and the other has black long hair tied into twin pigtails.

Me and Yamato sat at a corner while we wait for them to finish with their rehersal, meanwhile Miss Uzumi just stands by the door.

"My exams are finally over so if you still want to hangout... we can after this." I said to yamato.

"Really? Wanna go shopping later?" she said excitedly.

"Yeah, let"s."

The two girls finally finished when we finished with our conversation and they notice me in the room. I hear them whispering to each other,

"Hey, Isn"t that the CEO"s daughter?" the black-haired girl whispered to the pink-haired one.

"Yeah, I heard that she"s here to be an idol too." The pink-haired girl said in reply.

I just ignore them and we got started with both of our dance lessons. We started with warmups the started dancing to music using the dance steps that we were taught during the warmups. The two girls from before have already left the room when we finished with our lessons. Miss Uzumi hands us both a bottle of water, "Thanks" we both said as we reached for the bottles.

We headed back to the changing room to change back to our school uniforms, we were then told that we"re both gonna be having both dance and voice lessons the next day when we got out of the changing room. We headed headed down to the lobby right after. We heard people talking about both of us when we got to the lobby, we just ignore them.

"Are we going to the Shibuya district?" I asked as we walked to the exit.

Yamato shakes her head, "No, We"re going to Akihabara."

I suggested that we get my family"s driver to drive us to the station and she agrees since it takes an hour to get there by foot from the area where the agency is.

"I"m just wondering... Why Akiba?" I asked as we got in the car.

"Well, I"ve been wanting to visit a really famous maid cafe there. But, It"s really a pain to go there by myself."

"Wait, Didn"t you tell me that we"re going to do some shopping?"

"Oh, what i meant by that was we"ll go to a maid cafe first then go shopping after."

I sweated nervously, "You should"ve told me that in the first place."

I told the driver to take us to the station, he nods then starts driving. A Maid Cafe, huh? I was about to get a part-time job at one for fun. But at the same time i was also thinking of being an idol both at the same time. When dad asked me if i was interested on bieng an idol i just had to say yes.

...

After 30 minutes we arrived at the station, we both got off the car and started walking into the station which is the Ueno station. We decided to take the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line since it was the next train that"s gonna be stopping at the station when we arrived. We arrived to the Akihabara Station after 3 minutes, yamato lead me to the side-streets of akiba where i saw a lot of specialty shops and multiple maid cafes.

She lead me to one of them that looks really crowded from the outside, "Welcome home, mistresses~" A girl with long silver hair wearing a maid outfit greets us as we went into the establishment. Then the same girl leads us to a empty table after she asked us if it"s just the two of us dining, then she hands us a menu. "Just call for me when you"re ready to order~" the silver-haired maid said then walks away. I was about to order something when i noticed yamato just staring at the maids and blushing a little.

"Yamato? Are you alright?" I wave my right hand infront of her face.

"What? Did you say something?"

"You were staring at the maids while blushing." I pointed out.

She leans towards me, "The truth is... I"m really like maid costumes, i even have a collection of maid costumes at home." She whispered to me.

"I-Is that so..." I replied.

She hides her face behind the menu that she"s holding, "You probably think i"m wierd now..."

I shook my head, "I don"t see anything wierd about that."

I suddenly look away from her, "Anyway, let"s order something already."

She just giggles, "Sorry, The way you looked away is just too funny."

We call for the silver-haired maid from earlier then ordered some food, "Understood, mistress" The maid said as she finishes taking our order. After a few minutes the same maid came back to our table with the food that we ordered.

"Woah, this is good." I said after i took a bite of the crepe that i ordered.

"Well... This maid cafe is not only famous for it"s cute maids, but it"s also famous for how good the food that they serve." Yamato said as she eats carbonara that she ordered.

"I see... Thanks for bringing me here."

"You"re Welcome" Yamato Smiles at me.

We finished our food and paid, "Those maids are just so cute..." Yamato said out loud as we left the cafe.

We headed into a department store located at the east side of the JR Yamanote Line, when we got there yamato suddenly stops walking and checks her phone.

"Did we go into the wrong building?"

"Is something wrong?" I inquired.

She laughs akwardly, "I confused this building with the one at south of, and a cross the road from the central exit of the JR Akiba building."

...

After walking for a few minutes we finally got to the right building, we went up to the third floor where i saw a few clothing stores. We went into a really well known clothing store. Yamato grabs a few pastell-colored sweaters from the store"s clothing racks then hands them to me.

"Here, Try these on."

"What--"

"Just try them on, come on." She said as she pushes me into one of the fitting booths and closes the curtain behind me.

I stare at the sweaters that she handed me. I grabbed one from the few that yamato picked and tried it on. Before i even got the chance to check if it looks good on me yamato suddenly opens the curtain and it made me turn around.

"I knew it! I was right, it really suits you." She said to me with a really pleased expression. Her comment made me feel akward, "Wh- Don"t just open the curtain like that!" I said feeling really embarrased.
