There was only a week left until Synchronicity’s first concert, “Synchro!” took place.
Shiorin and the girls would be performing at an event at Chaldea Music.
There, groups of idols would appear on stage and perform one at a time before being replaced by the next idol group in line.
Since we were affiliated with Synchronicity, I, along with Rinka and Hasumi, were allowed to enter the dressing room where the girls were waiting.
“It’s almost time for Shiorin’s group to head up, huh.” I muttered, to which Shiorin and the girls nodded.
“Thanks to everybody’s help, our dancing and singing are top-notch now!”
“Thank you for helping us get here!”
“We can’t wait to show you the new us!”
Seeing Shiorin and the others so motivated, Rinka smiled contentedly and scratched her head.
“Ahaha, I wasn’t of much help, though
 I had to take a lot of remedial classes because of my bad test scores and all that
”
“That’s definitely not true! Rinka-sama, you always listened to me when I called you; not to mention that you were the one who saw through my brave front in the first place! Even now that I think about it, you were really incredible!”
Shiorin’s eyes were sparkling as Rinka made a complicated expression on her face.
It looks like Rinka really is a little uncomfortable with Shiorin.
Well, I’m sure anyone would feel flustered and confused if they were revered so greatly.
“Err, I forgot to tell you. The one who noticed something off about you in the first place wasn’t me but―”
“Shiori, it’s almost time!”
At Mihorin’s words, Shiorin and the girls all stood up.
“Well, I guess we’d better get ready then!”
“G-Good luck out there
!”
“Yeah!”
Hasumi cheered them on in a small voice as Shiorin and the others made peace signs in response.
Then, Shiorin and the others left the dressing room and went backstage.
We also tried to make our way out of the dressing room to see them off.
―Just then, all the idols in the dressing room suddenly stood up at once and gathered at the entrance.
“Hanami-san, welcome!”
The idols put on their coats and greeted the gallantly walking girl, Hanami Sena.
