Finally, the first day of recordings arrived. Although I had been waiting for it, the girls were clearly more excited than me. Sadly, Ms. Yoshida—TOTOT's Co-CEO—asked us to send the girls one by one so the public wouldn't know about the collaboration before Aeryx's song was recorded.
It was Risa's turn first. I accompanied her, as I planned to accompany all of the girls, in case anything happened.
Ms. Yoshida received us at the entrance just as she had the previous time. "Welcome back," she smiled. "Are you ready?"
I looked at Risa. "Are you?"
"I am," she smirked, although she had told me she was shaking just before we stepped inside.
"Perfect," Ms. Yoshida replied. "Let's not waste time and get to work."
We followed her through the hallways and into the recording studio. What we didn't expect was for Aeryx to be there.
"What's up," she greeted us with a hand on her waist.
Even I was surprised to see her here. I could only imagine how fast Risa's heart was beating.
