Tokyo 7th Sisters Episode Summary: Take Off!! Casquette! (First Half)
The story begin with a phone call from Mayuko, Sisala's friend in modelling industry (from her 3.5 where they reconcile their friendship again), asking her if Sisala knows someone named Chizuru. Sisala replied that she didn't exactly recall... and Mayuko went, "ah, then it's okay. See you." and cut the phone off before Sisala even had the time to ask what is up.... And little did they know that it was the start of her, ah no, their, fate.
Sometime after in Nanastar office, Miwako walked in to Sisala, Chacha, and Mimi watching the movie she starred in, where she surprisingly did very well in playing an otaku girl, so far from her usual image (in which Chacha said, a character that the flustered "Master" took without proper consideration with possible bad outcome but Miwako managed to pull out... << Shihainin ofc, asked if Chacha has even a slight bit of intention to actually praising him). Miwako also once act as JSDF personnel character and Mimi praised how she is able to do both wild or aloof characters just fine and how she has really high acting ability. Miwako said she could not say so herself, but perhaps the gap between her rock and her studious life is to be credited for that lol. She also said until being in Nanastar she had never done any job like it, but she unexpectedly enjoy it (Where Chacha said, how *good* it is to look forward to *challenges*, and how she enjoy her job of *tormenting* Shihainin << Shihainin: "... Chacha, is that even a job?").
Suddenly phone came for Shihainin, from a new manager from this yet to be known Agency, who said he wanted to meet with Sisala. A young manager named Yotsugishi came, all overbearingly *bright* and *polite* and full of flowery speeches, bringing a new model along, named Chizuru, who will be going up th stage with Sisala. Sisala remembered the phone call, but still only introduced herself normally. Yotsugishi turned to the others and like, "are you all model too?", in which Shihainin said, ah, no, no, they are idol but not exactly centering in modelling. He praised them how they all have looks *totally* fits into modelling and shower them with praises (which made Mimi and Miwako kinda pull themselves away and Chacha commented how he overdid his pleasantries). As Yotsugishi showering even more praise, which Chizuru also backed, Sisala realized that Chizuru has a smile that seemed like it was forced out, just like the old her.
After both of them excused themselves, the four of them are like, the f was that guy?? (Chacha was like, such praise, even if Shihainin did not even do a hair thin help on their work LOL). It appears Chizuru will be out on the same stage as Sisala in the fashion show. Excited for fashion show, Mimi, Miwako, and Chacha would come, with Mimi driving them there... Sisala thank them, while also hoped nothing bad happen.
The day of the fashion show happen, during the rehearsal sisala met again with Chizuru, who appeared that she was there only as a spare, in case someone gets hurt. Chizuru said she was there only to have things to remember, because ofc she wouldn't be on the stage anyway. Sisala said, "no, don't say that, because what is before you is your future. Future is something you make, with your own power." And then rehearsal happened, and whilst walking Sisala noticed how Chizuru was close, way too close... and she remembered, how Chizuru would only be on stage if someone is injured. If Sisala is injured..... at that moment, Chizuru suddenly lounged, saying, "Watch out!" and prevented Sisala from falling of stage, saving her. Sisala thanked Chizuru for her help, but Chizuru hyperventilated, and lost consciousness.
After the fashion show, Mimi, Miwako, and Chacha went backstage to congratulate Sisala on her fashion show, finding Chizuru also back stage as she was recuperating. Sisala said, lets go home, but Miwako was like HOME?! IT'S PARTEH TIMEEEEE! Mimi was like EEEH But I came here by car!, Miwako was like, "half of us are minors so ofc I won't drink! And Mimi, you strips right away so you're banned from drinking aren't you?" <<<!!!!! (Mimi did not remember it clearly LOL) And so Sisala and Chacha decided to come along, and Sisala offered Chizuru along as a thank you for saving her.
In EZ Bar... Miwako was drunk LOL, saying it's all thanks to Murasaki's mother's delicious food that it's such a waste to not drink lol (Miwako apologized to the envious Mimi saying she would pay for her drinks next time). Chizuru asked them, were they scouted and now became an idol because of that. Chacha said, how she would never forget Shihainin's eyes as he observed and scouted for young girls, how they were akin to jewels, and so altho she began while thinking it's something outdated, she found that she was actually liking the job. For Mimi, she was found while she was job seeking and she thought that she might try it, and find that she was rather satisfied, or rather, would want to work hard in the field. Miwako added how she also had times she doubted herself if she could pull it off but with Shihainin's help, they somehow work it out. Sisala said, she had nothing but gratitude for Shihainin, which Chacha agreed too (OMG HER VOICE WHEN SHE SAID, "SOU DESUNE" OMG LET ME KYAAAH FOR A BIT OKAY).
Miwako: "I've never seen Chacha being thankful to Shihainin-kun tho."
Chacha: "Since that will make tormenting him less enjoyable." << I laughed so hard
As Mimi laughed at Chacha's replied, Chizuru suddenly said, "everyone is so... mature." Everyone was taken aback, but before Mimi could ask, Chizuru proceeded to hastily said thank you for the meal, how thankful she was for meeting them, and ran out of the store, ignoring Mimi's call. They realized that something was wrong--and Sisala ran after Chizuru, who hastily stopped a taxi and sped away from the place. Just as Sisala wondered what she should do, Mimi came with her car, stopping in front of her and like, "Jump in, hurry!"
They went searching for her, finding her walking along the riverbank. Sisala gently called out to her, saying she would catch a cold walking at night with such light clothing. Mimi said, "You cried, didn't you?" and they all gently told her that would lend her an ear. However, it appeared to be something that she could not say. They then offered to drive her back to her home.
Midway, Chizuru asked them, "If you have 3 roads ahead of you, what would you do? One, is a road that will bring unhappiness to you. Two, is a road that will unhappiness to your family. Three, is a road that will bring unhappiness to someone else." And all 4 of them, at the same time answered, "We will find the 4th road."
After sending her off, everyone commented how she must have a lot to face and how that Manager of hers is super suspicious (and how he oogled at Mimi's body). However it did not seem like it was anything Chizuru would talk about. On that point, Chacha then said, "if she won't talk about it, then we can search it." to which Mimi said, "I don't know if you are reliable, or terrifying..." But first, before commencing investigation they have things to do.
To kinda get their feelings up, they went to the dressing room in Nanastar and start wearing some casquette cap (barette? Oh God, I am terrible in fashion). They all commented how they look good... but Sisala is putting her head in too deep inside the cap, which Mimi commented. Miwako said that way, she couldn't see clearly ahead so she should put the cap back, not casting shadow on her face. after straightening the cap, Sisala realized she was right. Being in the dressing room, however, was actually for them to prepare for the dress for their next step of operation: to infiltrate by disguise.... but the one infiltrating was not Chacha but...
Miwako: "Why... are you all looking at me?.... wait, EEEEEEHHH???"
