"Welcome to SS Cafe, ladies and a gentleman!" Reiji welcomed with his cheerful smile on. "Eh...?"

"Gak...What on earth?" A girl who had bandages on her knee and arm exclaimed as her friends appear right behind her.

"Ah...isn't he the guy who Akako-chan lashed at when we were at the cross road?" Another girl asked, who surprisingly resembled a shouta boy. "Such fate...that's what I always say, 'fate is never a coincidence '."

"Kyaaaa~~~ Reiji-san!!! It really is himmm!!!" One of tHe girls exclaimed, who had her hair clipped to the side with a kawaii hairclip. "Nee~ didn't he just called you a gentleman?" While nudging her friend.

"Tadaima!!" Mei greeted Reiji casually as she appeared behind the girls. "I brought a few friends with me today~"

"We just met though," the shouta boyish girl stated calmly as she entered the Cafe. "Damn...I really wish I had all of these in my collection! That figurine!!!"

"Nee~ did you happen to have this figurine on show?!" The other girl with the hair clip said as she showed her phone to Mei with a picture of a hot guy from an otome game. And right after that, the three girls went and look for a seat to settle themselves with a chitchat.

As for the girl in bandage, she was still glaring at Reiji as if he was a pervert by the street. All Reiji could do was laugh it off and smile at her.

"Ne~ you are Akako-chan from that day?" Reiji asked as he tried to make n attempt to stop her glare.

"Don't treat me as if I'm your friend 'cause we weren't even acquainted!" Akako stated in a tone of annoyance as she stomped angrily into the Cafe to look for her friends.

Due to that, Reiji just let out a sigh.

'Man...girls these days are hard to deal with...'

"Isn't she coming Yet?" Mei asked her new friends which she had a problem to engage them into a conversation.

"Hm...she's busy with her bamboo swords club so it might take a while for her to reach here," Akako replied as she was busy using her phone.

'Pretty much an antisocial group here... so how CAN I even convince them to be idols when they are acting like this?!'  Mei thought to herslef in silence.

"Uwaaa!!! I managed to break my previous record in expert mode!!" The tomboyish girl exclaimed as she experience a great deal of euphoria.

"Nee~ what cakes do you think is the best? Does this choco mousse taste bitter?" The girl with her hairclip on asked as she decided to stop checking on her phone. "Sai, stop playing for a while will ya?" While pinching her friend's nose.

"Gehhhh!?!? Yuuka...please don't suffocate me," Sai, the tomboyish girl said as she quickly slid her smartphone into her pocket.

"Yuuka? But isn't her name Yuu?" Mei asked in a confused tone.

"My real name is Yuu Katashi, I'm 16 years young. Only my friends call me Yuuka but to those I just met, I'd rather them call me Yuu. I'm just a normal high school student, afterall~" Yuuka introduced with a smile that deliberately shows her gentleness, kindness and honesty self. Such pure soul... "Sai, go on and let her know mre about yourself."

"Yo! I'm Rikona Sai, 17 this year. I'm glad to be acquainted to you because 'our meeting is purely arranged by god'. If you have any manga, please lend some to me, thanks! Please call me Sai because, that sounds like me!" Sai continued the introduction with a cheeky grin.

"I'm Akako Masaru, call me Akako will do, please to meet you," Akako introduced awkwardly as she never get used to introducing to someone that she just met.

After a short introduction, Camus arrived to the scene to get their orders. By the time he arrived at the side of the table, he looked at Sai due to her tomboyish haircut, which made him thoight that she was a guy, having a harem with the others.

"Ahem...may I take your orders, ladies and the only gentleman?" Camus questioned with his cheerful tone.

Sai and Camus looked at each other until Yuuka broke the silence by ordering some sweets, to which Camus responded with other suggestions that may suit her taste.

"Excuse me, could you please give me a glass of water?" Sai asked Camus in an annoyed tone, which made Camus responded with a forced smile.

And before Camus could completely take their orders, Ranmaru was being tackled by a ninja by the entrance all of a sudden. A female ninja in high school uniform.

"WHAT THE FUDGE?!" was all Ranmaru could express his gratitude for being tackled onto the mosaic floor.

The girl had long black hair tied up in a ponytail. She had a bamboo sword kept right behind of her back and a sling bag on her shoulder. Her face somehow looked as if she was unaware of a surroundings but she was actually a sharp person.

"I'm sorry for being late! I was helping an old grandma across the road," she explained, which the group of girls just stared at her with their, 'Oh really?' Look.

"You were just lost. Don't make up weird excuses..." Yuuka stated at her friend who just arrived to the Cafe. "Plus, you just kicked someone in the butt when you made your grand entrance..."

"Oh, I'm very sorry for stepping on you, somebody I don't know..." the girl aplogised and walked towards her friends, leaving the idols staring at her in shock. Guess there's another oblivious person who doesn't know much about the idols. She then settled herself on the seat that her friends had reserved and for an unknown reason, she gave a cold stare to Reiji, who didn't know that he was being watched.

"Well, everyone is here then?" Mei asked awkwardly as she didn't know what to say. The girls nodded in reply.

"So, what brings us here? I heard there's something importnt to discuss," the girl, who just sat down, asked as she wanted to get to the point. "Because, there's someone that had hurted Akako was just there and I had to control my anger..."

'I feel like dying right now...can they at least try not to make enemies before I even get to tell them something which might associate them with the idols?'  Mei thought as she tried to quell her anger.

"Oh...my name is Hotaru Tsuruko, I'm Akako's classmate and best friends with all of them here. Please to meet you," she fina'ly introduced to Mei and continued glaring at Reiji.

And so...Mei couldn't bring herself to at least make them fawn more into performing arts when they already disliked one of the idols from Shining agency. This ended up going not as what Chiharu had planned.

After Mei's new friends left the Cafe, Mei started sulking at the corner of evwrything, which Ittoki saw and decided to ask Tokiya, who happened to be by the scene. There, Tokiya told everythinf that he knew and ended up wanting to help Mei to get the problem solved. Thanks to all that discussion, all the members of Starish except for Cecil(an alibi) knew about her situation.

Timeskip...
After work at Ranmaru and Reiji's room...

"Damn...that brat got the strength to break my backbone..." Ranmaru winced in pain as Reiji massaged his member's back with massage oil.

"Hehe...she's really mysterious though...makes me felt that she was watching me the whole time when she was there," Reiji commented with a chuckle.

"She was actually glaring at you, to be precise," Ai calmly stated as he flipped the pages of the book he was reading.

"Truth seriously hurts...Ai-Ai," Reiji replied with anime tears streaming out from his eyes like waterfall.

"Ma...it's better than being treated like a lowlife when dealing with that guy during the orders..." Camus added with a hint of annoyance.

"A guy...you mean that shouta boy? That person you were speaking of was a girl. She may look like a boy but she's a girl," Reiji explained as if he knew alot about the girl. Camus was shocked.

"If you don't believe it, there's a prove that I can share it to you," Ai stated. "She always talk to her friends about 'bishounen' and even gossiped and giggled with her friends. Overall, she has mostly girl's traits...she even went into the ladies washroom."

Everyone in the room is speechless.

Meanwhile...at the four members' room(Starish)...

"So...is it really true that this girl, Chiharu Etsuko will be a composer in Shining Agency as long as she managed to look for the New Sound?" Cecil asked as he still have his cat ears and tail on.

"Yes, to do this, we need to lend our hands for that girl. It may be difficult to convince them but we have to try," Masato replied.

"So...we just have to do this..." Tokiya mumbled as he began drawing a plan on his tablet. The members then began to get curious on what Tokiya was about to show.
