Miyuki (finally) meets Suzuko!

“Of-of course…” Miyuki replied, yet still wondering if Suzuko truly understood her. Suzuko was the ideal height for an idol - not too tall, not too short, cute, had breasts that actually created some sort of cleavage, and had a unique personality that any fan would recognize immediately. What did Miyuki have…? The only thing she’d be picked out for would be her height.

But she was an optimist. And optimists didn’t spend time thinking about depressing things like that. If her friend told her it was alright, it would be alright. And besides, if the upbeat, cheerful and always energetic member of the 78th generation appeared depressed, what kind of impression would that give to others?

She relaxed a bit, and smiled at Suzuko, her true, slightly cheeky grin coming through instead of a forced one. “Thanks, Suzuko. This height thing’s really bugged me a lot my entire life, but I feel like that with 0048, I might just be able to fit in. After all, we’re all rather unique.” She laughed as she said that - it was true that they had some rather…special characters, to say the least.

Suzuko smiled in turn. If she could do anything to support her fellow idols, well then that was time well spent. Whatever happened she wanted to be someone the others could depend on to find courage. A manager’s job was to take care of their idols, and considering one day that was what she aimed to be she would be doing her best whenever she could.

“You’re welcome. ” She said bowing her head politely. Knowing that she’d helped was enough thanks but she appreciated the words still.

She nodded at Miyuki’s statement, chuckling a little.

“You know, I can’t help but feel the same way. Here, being different is what makes you fit in. I don’t think any one of us is the same, even if we suceed the same names. Tsubasa-san and our current Mariko, or Mimori-san, may hold the same name but they’re still different.”

“They certainly are,” Miyuki replied, giggling. There was quite the world of difference between the current Mariko and Tsubasa-san - though Tsubasa had had that mischievous Mariko air around her when she was the successor, that seemed to have faded off after she graduated. The current Mariko was, in Jurina’s eyes, much too girly to be like Mariko, but she seemed to be carving out her own identity under the name…And hopefully not a sadistic one.

That sadistic side was something that Tsubasa had carried over to the staff position. Jurina shuddered as she remembered the chaotic battle in the kenkyuusei ‘audition’s’ second stage, and the bruises she had got from that.

Miyuki plopped down on the couch and looked at Suzuko thoughtfully. “All the other girls want to succeed, from what I’ve heard,” Miyuki said with a hint of curiosity in her voice. “But you don’t seem to have the same aura or drive as them. What do you want to achieve, Suzuko-san?”
