Another Imagin appears.
The hidden figure points to some spot in the magazine.
The Imagin, a buxom blond girl smiles. "I will succeed without fail." The Imagin disappears.

Rikakas looks back at Aika/Yossikas. "I can tell you're a Singularity Point. Please, please," Rikakas falls prostrate on her knees, "ENCORE ME!!"
Aika/Yossikas looks offended. "What is this? An Imagin that doesn't even
want to battle? I can't be bothered."
Aika/Yossikas walks into an alley and splits.
Rikakas follows them. "Please, you have to help me."
Aika whispers to Yossikas. "She might have some useful information. Let's let Erina deal with her."
Yossikas nods.
Aika puts his hand on Rikakas' shoulder. I think we can help you, but you have to come with us first.
The three of them walk over to Erina's palm reading booth.
Good thing Erina gave me a spare key. Aika opens the door and pushes Yossikas and Rikakas inside. He takes out his phone. "Hello, Erina? We have captured an Imagin. You might want to question her. We have her at the booth."
"Wait inside, I'll be right there."
Aika walks in the booth. He sees that Rikakas is sitting down reciting poetry and Yossikas is sitting down in the visitor's chair looking grossed out by Rikakas. He hears the train horn and Erina enters carrying her keyboard.
Wow, it's really cramped in here. "Erina, we told this Imagin that we would help her."
Yossikas gives up her seat so that Erina can sit down.
"Is that so?" Erina starts playing a soothing melody on her keyboard. "So, may I ask your name?"
Rikakas starts looking hypnotized. "My name is Rikakas."
"Were you sent to steal the song of the heart of an idol?"
"I know that I must do it."
"Which song is it?"
"Ice Cream to my Pudding."
Yossikas starts looking even more grossed out. "That song is disgusting!"
Erina motions for Yossikas to shut up. "And, which idol were you trying to steal from."
"I don't know his name."
"His?"
"He insisted that he was a girl though."
Aika whispers to Erina. "She must mean Chisato from the Ajax agency."
"Who put you up to this?"
"I don't know. All I remember is the song and what the idol smells like."
Erina stops playing and Rikakas dozes off.
"It's no good. If she knew anything the music would have made her talk."
Erina's cell phone goes off. "What is it?"
"I know that you're interrogating an Imagin in your Palm Reading booth, but I'm smelling another Imagin several blocks away and on the move.
Rikakas wakes up. "Oh no, they must have sent another Imagin to do the job I was given."
Aika gesture for the phone. "Mikikas, the Imagin is going to be going for a boy named Chisato. I met her today during lunch."
"Say no more. We're linked, so what you see I see. I know what he looks like and I can go to him now."
"We'll be right there."
Chisato arrives at the block of the Ajax building, a tall cylindrical building with a flat top and the name AJAX in giant red English letters running up the building diagonally.
"Excuse me miss?"
"What, more salespeople? What are you selling?"
"Selling? No, you look like a very interesting person. I'm always on the look out for new hobbies, and you look like you know a whole bunch of them."
"Me? My only hobby is pulling pranks on other people."
"Really? That's
so cool! I have some people I would like to pull pranks on."
Suddenly Chisato is hit on top the head from behind by a magazine.
"Chisato, what's wrong with you? Corrupting random people. I didn't raise you this way."
"Sorry. Oh, this is my senpai, Maimi."
Maimi smiles. "Don't mind me. If you want to be corrupted by this girl go ahead. But, don't hold her too long, she has practice in fifteen minutes." Maimi walks towards the Ajax building.
Aika, Yossikas, Erina, and Rikakas run towards the AJAX building.
The buxom blond Imagin steps out of an alley in front of Maimi. "Excuse me, miss?"
"Can I help you?"
"My name is Yuikas. I am a beautician and I couldn't help but notice you."
Maimi points to her nose. "Me? Do I have some food on my face?"
"No, no. Nothing like that. The thing is that I think that you are stunning, and that I could help you achieve your true idol image."
"AJAX already has stylists. Why don't you audition your stuff with my managers?"
"Why, thank you. I will. But, before I do, I would like to show you a sample. If you look into this mirror you'll magically see what I am talking about."
"I guess that would be okay."
About ten yards from Chisato and Mikikas, Erina, Aika, Yossikas and Rikakas stop in their tracks as they see an Imagin jump inside of Maimi.
Rikakas' jaw drops. "You guys help her. I'll guard this one."
Erina reaches Maimi first. "Are you okay? Can you talk to me?"
"I think so."
Erina holds a card next to Maimi's head. The card indicates a date. Erina shows Maimi the date. "Does this hold any significance to you?"
Farther down the block Chisato is held back my Rikakas. "Let go of me, my friend is in danger."
"My friends will help her. But, if you want to be of service, maybe you tell me what the song of Maimi's heart is?"
"You're
really strange. You knew my song, but you don't know Maimi's song? Especially since we have the same song? It's a pretty famous story in the idol magazines that we were together the first time we heard it."
Rikakas gets a shocked look on her face, but it quickly changes to sneaky expression. "I'll tell you what, I'll let you go over to help your friend if you could do me one favor. That sales pitch?"
Chisato rolls her eyes. "Okay."
"I have a magic mirror that can show you your true idol image. All you have to do is look."
Up the block, Maimi nods. "That's the date that me and Chisato heard the song of our hearts, Ice Cream to my Pudding."
Aika looks shocked. "The same song?"
Yossikas grabs Aika and turns her around. "Look!"
They see Rikakas jumping inside of Chisato.
