"But, like this, it feels like I've gotten closer to you," Lila muttered quietly. Kiryu, however, heard her loud and clear.
A step closer, huh? This girl, even now, is treating him like a rival. But, he thinks the same of her. Only Terashima Lila, only this girl can beat him. In the past year, Lila has grown a great deal. The winner of the Dream Stars Tournament will face him for a surprise round. Usually, they segregate idol tournaments. However, he recalled Kyoko-san's request to the idol board. It seems like she is planning something.
"Lila!" Kasumi called out.
"I'm coming! See you," Lila said as she started to dash off.
Kiryu blinked. Huh, so that's why she came out to meet him. She had plans with the others. Well, that's fine. Even though Lila isn't performing with them as a member of the Goddess four anymore. At least, they still get along.
