Even way back when she first started Rise was always against using any sort of pills, supplements, shakes etc all designed to help with weight loss or proper muscle growth.
Having heard the stories about how some supermodels would get addicted to pills in order to retain their youthful beauty made her decide that she would never go that route.
She sighed in frustration knowing she was defying her own personal rule. Since her return Rise had taken great measures for her fans to become fans of the real her, not the “persona” made up by her agency, for the most part she had been successful. The people seem to enjoy seeing the more honest and open-minded Risette rather then the one that would slap her name anywhere like a cooperate whore.
Now she was caught in a bit of a pickle her fans were assuming that she was as fit as she was in those shots. She recalled being furious at the doctored images and demanding that no one outside of her people see them unfortunately it was too late and the shoot had already been shown to the world.
She had stormed out that day before giving her long-running boyfriend Souji Seta a call, the boy listened in as she vented and offers as much good advice as he could ultimately stating that perhaps she should look into working out. Rise while taking it too heart unfortunately had no time to do so, ironically working as hard as she had to rebuild a new image was destroying her own body resulting in her being as thin as she was. She wasn’t even sure if she was pushing over a hundred anymore.
So that’s when she gave Chie a call, the two spoke for a while and the blonde decided she’d help her pop idol friend in any way she could eventually giving her the special supplement.
So here she sat with it in her hands and truth be told she was a bit scared of trying it out on her own. There was a warning that the product was potentially strong and those with health problems should avoid using it. She knew she was physically fine yet that didn’t calm her nerves.
Guess it was best to take up Chie’s offer and share a glass together…
The next school day came and went eventually reaching lunch time heading up to the roof Rise was lucky enough to catch Chie munching away at her lunch.
The blonde girl gave her a friendly wave and greeting as she walked over taking a seat beside the jacket-wearing tomboy.
Chie asked how things were when she could see the nervousness in Rise’s eyes. The redhead responding that things were pretty crappy and she had yet to try out the supplement when asked why she responded saying she was frightened to do so alone.
Chie gave a pat on the back and a reassuring smile before stating that her offer was still up about trying it out with her. Rise explained that was the whole reason she had come to see her. Of course Chie gladly agreed if it meant to help her friend in her time of need.
“We’ll try it out after-school.”
“Great come over to my place, okay Sempai.”
Chie agreed with a firm nod.
Later in the day after the school day had ended Chie went with Rise over to her home, which doubled as her grandmother’s place of business. Heading upstairs to her own room Rise welcomed Chie inside pointing out where she kept the supplement.
Chie took a moment to read over the directions.
“Take two teaspoons with bottle of water every twelve hours. Do not exceed required amount nor reduce required time-span stated on product. Results will fully appear within six to eight weeks time.”
Rise nearly fainted at the last part. She didn’t have that kind of time. The issue was to be released next month, which was about two and a half weeks away. Obviously she’d have to do heavy promotion for it and no way could she show herself looking nothing like in the photo shoot. Her fans the media would think she was reverting to the Risette of old.
She needed faster results now or at least in time for the issue’s release and the promotion that followed.
She quickly explained her dilemma to Chie the blonde pondering for a moment.
Sure it was risky as hell to go against the directions but Rise NEEDED help. No maybe they should first try it out the normal way before jumping the gun...
