Miu Chiba I : Idol?!

It's Friday, and Sakura hands over the payment for her school trip to Sensei.

"Please, excuse me."

Sakura closed the door of the faculty room while we wait for her in the hallway. It's already after classes.

Yuuki teased Sakura a bit, "Someone's smiling."

Sakura smiled, "Thanks, everyone."

I replied, "Don't mention it."

Itsuki followed, "A friend will always support a friend."

Sakura smiled, "You're right."

Yuuki smiled, "No more secrets everyone."

After she said that, she glared at me.

I replied, "I don't even have one, why are you even staring at me?"

Yuuki observed me, "Is it just me or are you getting skinnier than before? Your uniform seems to be larger."

I answered her, "No, you must be imagining things, Yuuki."

Her glare never left me.

Then, Sakura raised her hand, "Miu is an idol."

Miu backed her up, "Yeah, I'm an idol."

Oh, she's an idol.

...

The rest of us were surprised, "Idol?!"

...

We went to a local diner, near the school.

Yuuki wants to clarify it, "Like what you said earlier Miu, you're an idol?!"

Miu replied, "Yeah, I am."

Itsuki followed, "You're not joking, right?"

Miu answered, "Why would I joke?"

Nise asked Miu, "Why have you never told us about this?"

Miu replied, "Because no one asked about it!"

I'm still processing what just Sakura and Miu said.

Yuuki asked, "Since when did you become an idol?"

Miu replied, "Before high school."

Nise reacted, "No wonder we didn't know about it."

Itsuki is still confused and wants to clarify something, "There's been bugging me about this."

Miu asked, "What is it?"

Itsuki replied, "Like, how we and other people didn't recognize you? Like, if you're an idol, some people should have realized who you are. "

I answered, "The mask. That's why no one recognizes her,"

Itsuki replied, "But still when we eat, she removes the mask but we still don't recognize who she is."

Sakura replied, "Because of the make-up."

Yuuki asked, "Make-up?"

Sakura answered, "Her make-up that she uses in school and on stage is very different. Same with her hairstyle."

Nise replied, "Now that you mention it, her hairstyle has never changed ever since I met her."

Itsuki followed, "Nise's right. Miu, you never changed your hairstyle. You never let your hair down at all."

Miu replied, "Yeah, I never did. If I let my hair down, I'm afraid that people will start recognizing me."

Yuuki suggested, "How about you let your hair down and remove the mask?"

Miu asked, "Why now?!"

Yuuki replied, "I mean, we still don't know who you are. I assume you never used your real name as a stage name as well."

Miu explained, "Who in the world would use their real name as a stage name?!"

I replied, "I actually want to see it as well."

Nise followed, "Yeah me too."

Miu was anxious about it at first but gave up, "Fine, I'll do it but I'll tie it up after."

She removes the scrunchie that ties her hair and lets her white hair falls.

Miu said, "How about it?"

We started analyzing who she is and...

Itsuki replied, "Isn't she?!"

Nise followed, "No way she's at our school."

I added, "The white-haired princess of idol and rock..."

Yuuki excitingly yelled, "Orchidna!"

Miu panicked and covers Yuuki's mouth, "Quiet down, Yuuki!"

Yuuki realizes that she was loud, "I'm sorry, Miu."

Miu ties her hair down and wears her face mask, "Now you see, I'm easily recognizable when my hair is down and not wearing any face mask."

Yuuki is holding her phone, "Miu...I mean, Orchidna-sama."

Miu replied, "Orchidna-sama? Drop the honorifics, Yuuki!"

Yuuki requested, "Can I take a picture with you?"

I replied, "Yuuki must've been a big fan."

Yuuki explained, "I mean, it's her!"

Miu followed, "We can take a picture but somewhere not in public."

We heard a flash of a camera.

Miu asked, "Did you already take a picture, Yuuki?"

Yuuki denied, "I haven't taken one yet."

Nise replied, "It's bad to lie, Yuuki."

Yuuki shows her phone, "Look, I haven't taken a picture yet."

We all looked at her phone but Yuuki hasn't taken any pictures yet.

Itsuki replied, "Then, where did that come from?"

Miu shrugs it off and pointed at the couple that is in the diner, "Forget about it. It must be the couple over there."

We all just forget about it and didn't pay any attention at all.

But...

...I sense something...

..No, that's wrong...

Someone is watching us.

Who's there?
