The Preparation

The preparation for the concert went by quite smoothly. Asides from giving us the roof space, Principal Minami also lent us help in setting up the stage and some of the audio equipment. The more she helped us, the more I felt bad that we didn't give her any compensation for that. But thanks to that, the girls can focus more on their songs, costumes, and choreography.

"How about the costumes?"

"It's finished." Kotori said while pushing a hanger rack carrying the new costumes. The costumes look like maids, french-maid to be exact. I wanted to ask a question on why Kotori designed maid costumes for a valentine song, but I avoided it. I nodded looking at the costumes. I have to say that these are pretty well-made.

"They look really good. I think you'll make a fine fashion designer one day."

Kotori blushed at my statement, but smiled and said, "Thank you!"

Not long after that, Kotori made her way to the training hall where the others are. I still stayed in the office to discuss about some of our clients that we cancelled. Fortunately, some of them are pretty understanding and allowed us to postpone their bookings, but the others not so much.

After finishing the discussion and planning out the schedule after the qualifying, I made my way to the training hall. When I arrived there, I was greeted by the girls trying out their new maid costumes.

Unfortunately, not all off them are finished wearing them...

"Pervert!" I got a good yell from Umi, who threw her piece of towel towards my face. The towel came hurling at me at breakneck speed that when it hits my face, it just pushed me backwards and into my butt. That kind of throw is impressive, not gonna lie.

Umi closed the door immediately.

"I'm sorry! I should've knocked!"

Fortunately, none of them are super mad about it.

Though the girls are **** to train in a rush, it doesn't seem like any of them are having a lot of issues, asides from some mishap here and there. I'm pretty confident that we can make it for the qualifying.

And so... the qualifying day arrived.
