One week had passed already, so today marks our match with Sunflowers that will decide our fates with this Idol Career.

"Woooh! This costume is so cute!"

Right now, Ayano Katachi and the girls are trying out the newly tailored costumes. The designs were made by Asuzagawa Reina. The three of them are now smiling at the costumes, because It's "cute?"

While Azusagawa Reina is in the corner, smiling at them. Maybe she's glad that her design became a true costume?

"Hey, hey, Araragi! Isn't this cute?"

Ayano Katachi approached me, wearing the "cute" costume. She's asking for my opinion, I see. Well, the design is great, as expected of Azusagawa Reina.

"... Beautiful..."

This is the only words that I pulled out from my mouth. For some reason, Ayano Katachi suddenly blushed, and the other girls are wearing expression that says "Ooooh."

"Well, the dress is beautiful."

The moment I clarified my sentence, Ayano Katachi's face suddenly became blank. After some seconds, she finally returned to reality.

"Ah? You're right! It's beautiful!"

What's with that? After she came back to reality, she walked to the front and gave her speech before the match.

"Okay, guys! This is finally the day! We've perfected our dance, removed unnecessary steps, and our song is good too! Our costume is very cute too! All I can is... no matter the result of this match, I don't have any regrets!"

At her speech, It seems the other girls became determined. Well, everyone except Asuzagawa Reina, she's still smiling at the corner there.

This is finally the day, all of the preparations for my grand strategy are now in place. My only prayer is for this strategy to work. We're now at the school, and was about to go to Saitama with Nakano Urara's car.

When all of us have gone to the car, I felt a bit of irritation due to the fact that we're going to use a limousine for traveling purposes. Damn, rich kids.

All of the girls including Asuzagawa Reina are now inside the limousine. I'm the only one left. I just took a good look at the limousine once more before entering.

I just released a heavy sigh and finally entered the limousine.

+++++

After travelling for almost 1 and a half hour, we finally reached Saitama's Check Stadium. We parked the car beside the stadium and stepped out of the car.

After stepping out of the car, the huge V Stadium are now in my sight. Now that I see it close, It's really huge. It can fit 5000 people after all. It's not as huge as a baseball stadium, but It's still huge!

"Well, hello there. You're the Cherry Blossoms, huh? We have to do our best."

Out of nowhere, the manager of Sunflowers appeared in front of us. While there are two girls behind him. Maybe they're the members of the Sunflowers, huh? I don't care, though.

"Yeah, we're going to do our best!"

Ayano Katachi replied to Ryota Kaneshiro's greetings. Maybe It's because of Ayano Katachi's positivity that she can do things like this?

"We still have some mercy, that's why we'll raise our ticket value to 2500 yen. That way, maybe a people or two will come to yours instead? Well, bye."

After that, he left and walked towards that huge stadium. He's clearly underestimating us. By raising their ticket values, maybe a people or two will come to ours because our ticket value is much lower. 500 yen per seat.

If my plan works... not only we'll beat the Sunflowers, the stadium will be full! Leaving us with 500,000 yen! That's a really big money! Even if the half will go to the president, that still leaves with 250,000 yen! It's a huge money too!

But there's something really bothering me. That V Stadium is so big, and I searched It at the net and the results shows that It doesn't exists. What's with that?

I can come up with multiple theories, but the most realistic is that this stadium's owner was the league itself. But why are they letting the participants use it?

I know they're a bunch of rich guys, but they can't just throw their money away, right? Just having one of these stadiums will be a toll to one's wallet.

The number of participants this league is 50 people. That means that their are at least 50 stadiums being lent right now.

Isn't that a bit too pricey? It's one of the mysteries I'm curious about. This league's system, the rigged lottery and more irrational mysteries.

What's their purpose for doing these? At first, I thought that It's for the rich guys to get even more fortune and for their kids to become a professional Idol much faster.

But that theory of mine is becoming vaguer and vaguer the more I give some thoughts about it.

"Hey, Araragi! You're going to get left behind f you continue to stand around there!"

Whatever, I'm sure I'll know about it if we win this league. After that, I quietly walked towards our own stadium.

Now, It's showtime! Let's rake in some cash!
