"Idol!?" Maika Kamimura shouts in surprise as soon as Fuuma gave his offer. "What the hell is that!?"
"Just as it sounds," Fuuma says, his voice calm and stoic as ever despite Maika's outburst. "An agency needed me to gather some idols to perform at the Tokyo stadium in about a week. The previous ones canceled on them. You need to learn how to sing and dance with the others."
"Hah….?" Maika crosses her arms and furrows her eyebrows. "I mean yeah, idols are cute and all. But me being an idol? Fuck that! I am in no position to be in that line of work!"
"Maika, please listen…" Fuuma says but the Scorching Fire Taimanin cuts him off.
"I'm out!" Maika gives her final decision and turns to leave.
She exits the room and closes the door behind her. She is clad in her sexy, casual clothing that consists of a small red jacket, zebra colored buttoned shirt that is partially open to reveal her ginormous breasts with a black bra showing, short brown frilly skirt, black thigh high stockings and brown ankle boots on her feet. She has sunglasses on her head as well.
Maika sighs heavily. It's not that she hates idols. Being one just isn't….her. She is a delinquent at most, so it wouldn't fit her image if she becomes an idol.
"Why the fuck would Fuuma give such a offer…?" Maika sighs again.
"U-ummm…maybe it's because he can see the cuteness in you…?" A certain introvert automatically answers without thinking.
Maika looks up and is surprised to see her best friend and comrade, Mari Shinobara. "Mari? How long have you been standing there?"
"L-long enough to hear everything…" the short haired blonde taps her index fingers together. "M-Maika-san…I think you should accept the offer…"
"Not you, too…" Maika sighs for the third time. "Listen, Mari. I love you and you mean well. But this doesn't fit…well me. It doesn't fit my image and it never will be. Honestly, you should go to Fuuma and ask him to take my place."
Mari pauses for a second and looks up and down at Maika's appearance. Sure she is a delinquent, but she has a weakness for cute things. Idols are very cute and she knows that Maika loves them as well. But for the orange haired girl to actually become one? Mari doesn't want this opportunity to go to waste.
"I would love to b-but…I would get stage fright…" Mari says. "You're the brave one, Maika-san. You're stronger than me as well. Maybe that's why Fuuma-san chose you. Because you're so….full of energy. You may not have the voice to be a perfect singer, but the least you could do is dance with all your heart. I want to see you on stage. To see you and the other idols give the audience their smiles." She steps toward the taller girl and takes her hands in hers. "Please…do it for the fans. Do it for Fuuma-san. Do it…f-for me…?"
The desperate look in Mari's eyes makes Maika relent and smile a gentle smile. She just can't say no to the adorable, small and shy Taimanin.
"Alright, Mari," Maika pets the short haired blonde. "I'll go to Fuuma and apologize for how I acted."
"Maika-san~!" Mari beams at her best friend's decision.
Later on during the week, the idol manager teaches Maika and the other Taimanins, Yukikaze and Su and two strange guests, Noah Brown and Felicia, the ways of the idol. Their idol outfits consists of a revealing long sleeved shirt with the sleeves cupped back, and reveals their perfect tummies, short skirts and fingerless gloves. Their leg wear are different from one another. For Maika, she is wearing high heeled, lace up ankle boots. She also has thigh straps. One thick on her right and a thin one on her left.
The manager teaches them how to dance, look cute and then sing. Sure there are a few fails and a bit of shenanigans due to Yukikaze and Su's bickering and Felicia's usual pranks, but the Manager did not give up on them. She continues to teach them all week long. Pretty soon, the girls got it all down, worked as a team as well as helping each other out. Maika helping out for the most part.
When the day of the concert finaly arrives, everyone is backstage, feeling a bit nervous since they are facing millions of people. They are outside in the middle of the city where the stage is located.
"This is it, everyone!" The idol manager says. "Give it your all, just like we practiced! We've had our ups and downs, but in the end, we managed to make it to the concert!"
The girls cheer. Maika wonders if Mari is somewhere in this big crowd. She hopes she would be in the very front row.
After getting situated, the Taimanin idols get into their positions. The curtain slowly rises and lights blare brightly. Light steam comes from behind them as they make their grand debut. And then…the girls start singing and dancing, the best of their ability. They applied everything the manager taught them, making the crowd go nuts. They raise their glow sticks high and cheer loudly for their favorite idol.
Maika takes a look at the crowd to see Mari standing there, right at the front row like she hoped. She gives a smile and danced like she never danced before. It motives her even more to give it her all. She goes to the front of the group to finish of the song and all the idols pose right when the music stops. The crowd cheers so loud that the stage almost shakes. And then, the idols do a few more songs and dance at the same time to please their audience.
In the back, the idol manager and Fuuma are very pleased with their success.
After the Concert*
Maika sits down in the break room, getting a drink of water. Everyone else has left but her. Maika needs a breather before leaving herself. A lot has happened but in the end, Maika feels she accomplished something.
Just then, there are a couple of timid knocks on the door.
"Come in!" Maika calls.
The door opens and in comes Mari, holding a red rose. "U-ummm…congrats on the performance, Maika-san. You were excellent. I-I knew you could do it…!" She timidly holds out the rose. "F-for you!"
Maika chuckles and accepts the flower. "Thanks, Mari. It's all thanks to you that I was able to do this. And honestly, I feel very happy."
"I will go to your next performance when that happens!" Mari says.
Maika chuckles again. "Actually…I will consider this my first and last time of being an idol."
"Eh…? What do you mean?" Mari asks.
"Because if I stick with that career, who knows if I were to be separated from you~?" Maika picks up Mari like a baby and places her on her lap. "I don't want to spend my days missing you every once in a while. Who knows if I will be gone for a year~?"
"Y-you're right…" Mari says. "I don't…want that either…"
Maika gives a toothy grin and pets the smaller girl. "I will always be your idol, Mari, no matter who I am. Hehehe~"
"Y-yes…!" Mari nods. "I understand! Maika-san will always be my idol! You are my true idol, Maika-san…!"
"That's right~" Maika wraps her arms around Mari and gently pulls her closer. "Again, thanks for everything~" She leans in and kisses Mari on the forehead.
The smaller blonde gets red in the face as she pulls away. "M-Maika-san…uuuuu…"
"Ehehehe~" Maika gives a toothy grin again. "You're adorable, you know that~"
"You're embarrassing me…." Mari whines.

Have a nice day!
