154 - Mythmaker

Iku and Akane are complimenting Azusa's song Mythmaker after watching some footage of her first performance of it. Makoto and Chizuru then arrive for the meeting. Azusa's been doing well lately at work, leading to new opportunities. Iku thinks that she might meet her destined person at this rate too, as she took Azusa's fortune recently and that happened to be the result. Akane asks if anyone comes to mind, and as Azusa ponders, in comes P with impeccable timing. An offer was made for her specifically to be the lead part in a heartwarming TV love drama with the rising actor Souma, who requested her himself. Given this opportunity, Azusa accepts.

Later, they're off for the initial drama meeting, and Akane and Iku also managed to get cast for it as the star's past love interest and the heroine's past version respectively. Souma greets them at the meeting and says he couldn't imagine anyone other than Azusa as being his partner in this role. The other two idols remark on how compatible they are, and P notices that too. He has to take Iku and Akane later to talk with the director, and afterward they come across Souma trying to make date plans with Azusa afterward. Azusa's density field prevents her from understanding what's going on and this starts annoying him as he believes it's an act, so P jumps into the conversation. Souma is fully mask off and is now incredibly rude, walking off saying he wasted his time. Iku doesn't quite get what's going on and Akane has her vision of that heartthrob actor crushed.

P drops the idols off at home in his car later, with just him and Azusa remaining. Azusa apologizes for the trouble she caused, and P regrets not doing more research beforehand. She's frustrated at herself for not handling things better. Though it's a shame that this opportunity got away, she's an idol with idol work to do. Such as her upcoming performance...
