Aura of Inspiration

The meeting ended after several minutes of exchanging ideas and talking about their details. Both Aeryx and Ms. Yoshida walked with us to the entrance and we said goodbye as we stepped out. I called Butcher to tell him we were done and we stood in silence while we waited for him. No one could believe what had just happened.

"What are we going to do until the first concert?" Risa wondered.

"Nothing is officially established yet," I answered. "There's a lot of paperwork to do, but you will be working with Aeryx soon."

Out of nowhere, Astra jumped at Risa and squeezed her while grinning. Risa's face grew red as the hug lasted for a few seconds. Astra eventually stepped back and apologized, "Sorry, I'm just very happy. I can't believe this is happening."

"We all are very happy," Aki smiled. She stared at Astra and suddenly pulled her to squeeze her too. "Come here, you adorable genius."

"Eh? Why genius?" Astra asked but received no answer.
