Short summary: The “not perfect” Kiria is all the more loveable in Tsubasa’s eyes.
Tsubasa looks over at the heavily breathing dark-haired woman rapidly consuming the contents of her water bottle. Not that Tsubasa herself is in better shape. Their next duo performance video features a lot of intricate choreography for Kiria, who will be dancing during sequences where Tsubasa gets to just stand and sing her heart out. That works out just fine for Tsubasa. Tsubasa still suffers from two left feet syndrome and will never get to Kiria’s level in terms of dancing. And does she need to, when Kiria just dances so much better?
Kiria looks really sweaty right now, though. Even though Kiria’s face is relatively dry, there’s still that sheen of moisture on her forehead. And lower, past Kiria’s sports bra, there looks to be streams of sweat running down Kiria’s tight abs… Tsubasa bites her bottom lip and suppresses the urge to run over there to wipe Kiria off with her… Even if Kiria wasn’t embarrassed by that (a low probability), Barry would probably not appreciate it...
Really, the more Tsubasa gets to know Kiria, the more the image of the “cool” Kiria thaws. The more the Kiria that appears in Tsubasa’s mind changes from the “dominant queen” Kiria to the more normal, simple braided ponytail, simple outfit, simple makeup Kiria. A Kiria who sighs and grumbles, creases her forehead, squints with her eyes, flops on the couch, lightly snores…
Well, nobody is perfect! Tsubasa thinks to herself. Not even Kiria, top idol and mega star. But that just makes Kiria all the more loveable. Because this Kiria is human. This Kiria is warm and gentle, real and sturdy. And she’s still absolutely beautiful and sexy. Tsubasa would know from…
“Tsubasa!”
“Huh?”
Tsubasa feels even more heat rise to her face. She was hot from dance practice earlier but now she’s certainly as red as a tomato. That won’t get her any sympathy from Barry. Especially a Barry who is motivated to get his job done so he can buy the latest release of Dia Witch Iroha merch. Something Tsubasa totally sympathizes with in most situations but…
“Stop staring at Kiria and get back into position!”
“Yes sir!”
Oh, he’s on the verge of… Tsubasa slaps her face, pushes away all other thoughts besides the lyrics she must sing and the steps she must dance. Focus! Because there will be plenty of time to stare at Kiria later.
