[Idol III]

Over the weekend, the Chairwoman and Matsuura-san spent their entire day off at the training center. 

The same goes for Nishino, who accompanied them. 

The latter, in particular, did not return to the hotel in which they were staying after the girls lessons, but stayed at a nearby Internet cafe for the rest of the day, checking idol videos from one to the other with great enthusiasm. 

He felt like a talented idol producer. 

Nishino Producer was inspired by the two girls as they practiced their dance routines. 

On the following Monday, he returned to the hotel to get ready for school. 

As he arrived at the Class 2A classroom, an unusual sight met his eyes. 

It was Matsuura-san standing in front of the Chairwoman's seat. 

For a moment, he thought it might be a fight in the early morning. The two of them have been quarreling about everything lately. The morning greeting exercise had become a bit of a chore, and his attention turned to the exchange of words between the two women. 

"You can't just ask me to teach you something out of the blue." 

"Is there any way to at least reduce it? My whole body is in bad shape." 

"That's because you don't exercise regularly. It can't be helped." 

"I'm going to die in today's lesson." 

"Why don't you just give up? It would be a shame to die from this." 

"Isn't that harsh? That's why I'm asking the Chairwoman." 

However, what can be heard is a part of a casual daily conversation. 

There is a hint of a quarrel, but not so much as to be considered a fight. 

Nishino listened to the conversation as he sat in his seat. 

The whole topic of conversation became clear early on. 

Matsuura-san's muscles ache all over her body from the exercise she is not used to. Still, she has a lesson scheduled for after school today. So she asked the Chairwoman for advice on what she could do to help. Considering their previous relationship, this was quite an odd sight. 

They are attracting more than a little attention from their classmates. 

After the incident at the idol training school, the two had grown a little closer. From the state of the conversation, Matsuura-san is showing some compromise toward the Chairwoman. The one who was approached may have responded with some bewilderment. 

Incidentally, the three girls in the close group who used to hang out with the Chairwoman have been absent from school without exception since the ruckus at the share house. While Shimizu feels uneasy, she is also somewhat relieved. 

The three girls are planning to transfer to another school in the near future. 

It was Francisca's job to take care of the situation. 

While this was going on, Risa came to see them. 

"Good morning, Chairwoman! I mean, what are you and Matsuura-san talking about?"

"Matsuura-san says she has a lot of muscle pain and wants me to do something about it......" 

"Oh, sore muscles?" 

Risa's face becomes astonished. 

She wondered if Matsuura-san was getting annoyed with the Chairwoman, as she had in the past. But the reply she got was unexpected. She had to tilt her head back and forth, wondering what was going on. 

Matsuura-san turned to Risa this time. 

"Come to think of it, Risa, you were good at exercise too, weren't you?"

"I'm not sure if I'm good at it or not, but I like it." 

"I know this is a bit sudden, but I was wondering if you have any tips on how to manage sore muscles..." 

Matsuura-san was not in the mood to be distracted by the fact that her own career was on the line. Despite having gotten into a big fight just a few days earlier, she took the initiative to get involved with Risa-chan. Moreover, the exchange was rather serious.

The two of them could not be ignored. 

The three of them discussed Matsuura-san's sore muscles. 

To the classmates who did not know what was going on, it was a strange scene. 

And the strangeness was not limited to them. 

At the same time, in another part of the classroom, there was Takeuchi who came to the seat of a student. The former, while having a lot to say in the classroom, has little direct contact with the upper caste, while the latter is in the middle of the caste.

"Ogino, I got the reference book you asked me for last week." 

"Oh, yeah! Thank you, Takeuchi. That's a big help." 

"I mean, isn't this one quite advanced?" 

"I'm just getting started." 

"Looks like I'll have to get serious about the entrance exam soon too......."

The two, who until then would not have exchanged words of greeting as far as they were concerned, began to talk amiably about a common topic. Moreover, the place where they were exchanging words was not Takeuchi's seat, but Ogino's seat.

The atmosphere in the classroom was something different from what it had been until the summer. 

The caste pattern in Class 2A seems to have changed.

" ......" 

Nishino felt like he had solved one problem in the classroom. 

He was glad that he had accepted Matsuura-san's request, and he was lightly immersed in a feeling of self-satisfaction. 

However, there is one student who is not pleased with such a change in the classroom. 

It was Suzuki-kun. 

He walked up to Takeuchi and spoke to him in a loud voice. 

"Hey, Takechi, are you free after school today? Let's go karaoke together, shall we? " 

"Sorry, I have other plans today." 

"Really? Wasn't it the same last week, and aren't you bad at socializing these days?" 

He does not even glance at Ogino. If he didn't like the fact that his best friend was having fun with students outside of his close group, he didn't like the fact that the topic of discussion was studying, which he disliked. 

He felt as if he were being excluded from the group. 

"I'll make it up to you, but not this week. I've got plans I can't miss." 

"Really? I think I've heard something like that before......." 

And so the busy morning pass. 

◇ ◆ ◇

It was the same day, not long after the bell rang to signal the beginning of lunch break. 

Rose and Gabriella visited the Class 2A. 

The girls saw Nishino in his seat and turned their feet. 

In addition to the Futsumen, a large number of other students could be seen in the classroom. The two girls were given glances from their surroundings, with their bright heads of hair in their sights. The girls, however, were a little quicker than the others and made a straight line toward his seat. 

However, someone stood in front of him a little earlier than the girls. 

"Nishino-kun, will you go out with me for a while?" 

"What is it? Matsuura-san." 

She is positioned in front of Nishino, who is seated, staring at her from the front. 

Her school uniform and makeup, which had been a bit gaudy, were a change from the mature look she had before, and she appeared to be a high school girl of today, accustomed to playing around. If anything, the atmosphere is similar to that of Risa's group of close friends. 

"The promise I made on the rooftop before, I was just wondering if it would be a good idea to do it during my lunch break." 

" ...... Promise ?" 

"I'm too busy after school and too tired to do it after lessons." 

Rose and Gabriella pause as they overhear the meaningful exchange between the two. 

They decided to set up a distance of about two seats and take a look at what was going on. 

Conveniently, they are positioned with the Chairwoman sitting in her own seat right next to them. 

Shimizu, too, takes note of Matsuura-san's action and turns her attention to the two of them. 

This was no exception for the other classmates.

"The Chairwoman and Risa say that light exercise helps with sore muscles." 

"........" 

What exactly does light exercise mean? 

Recalling his past correspondence with Matsuura-san, Nishino understood. 

It was an invitation for him to get involved. 

The skirt of the school uniform, which was rolled up to a much shorter length than before, was more than twenty centimeters above the knee. His crotch touched his desk. It flutters and wiggles in response to her body movements, foreshadowing the thighs and underwear that lie ahead. 

The virgin boy who did not expect to be asked out in front of his classmates confirms the Chairwoman's appearance in the immediate vicinity and politely declines the invitation. 

"No, that's fine. " 

"Why ?" 

"I wasn't looking for something like that in return." 

For Matsuura-san, the reply was apparently unexpected. 

She stares at the person in front of her with a surprised expression. 

After all, she had been approached repeatedly in the past. 

She thought that if she asked him out, he would strike at her right away. 

On the other hand, those who did not know about the exchange on the rooftop had no idea what she was talking about. In the first place, it was a rare situation for Matsuura-san to get involved with Nishino. They were all wondering what was going on with the events of the previous week. 

"But you told the Chairwoman in class before." 

"What are you talking about?" 

"Nishino-kun, you said you and I have an even trade." 

"Yes, I said that. But so what?" 

"That means you were expecting it, right?" 

Now that she understood that Nishino's contacts were real, Matsuura-san's crotch was fully open. In fact, she would do it every day, trying to hold on to the person in front of her. If she judged that it would benefit her, she would not hesitate at all, even if it was with a Futsumen. 

But if that were to happen, Nishino would be in trouble. 

"Don't get me wrong, there are other options." 

"What's that? I don't understand. ......" 

The Futsumen tightens his own neck at the cynicism of the past, which he had quickly divulged. Feeling Shimizu's eyes on him very close by, he quickly denies it. 

However, it is also true that he was thrilled by Matsuura-san's invitation. 

In the meantime, it was Rose who became numb.  

"What are you talking about? I'd like to join you." 

"Oh, I want to join too." 

They looked at the situation for a while, however, they could not understand the situation at all. 

Then there was no choice but to charge head-on. 

Following her lead, Gabriella lined up right next to her. 

However, Matsuura-san these days does not hesitate even if she is facing two other people. 

"It's not that big of a deal. " 

With a small wave of her hand, she replies with a small flourish. 

Having lost everything, she no longer had anything to fear on campus. Matsuura-san, who has become an invincible person, always responds with salt, no matter who she is dealing with. The only exceptions are handsome men with the facial features she likes and those who seem to contribute to her self-interest. 

Rose and Gabriella are at the opposite end of the spectrum.

"Oh, is that so ? It seems that you were talking to me. " 

"If you want to talk to Nishino, why don't you do it?" 

If it had been any other student, Matsuura-san's comment would have caused more than a little irritation. 

However, the two Lolitas, who were not concerned about the caste system on campus, did not care about her behavior, good or bad. Rather, her direct and straightforward attitude was easier to deal with than their emotional outbursts.

"I hope you're not too busy with your other business." 

"We could talk about it tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, anytime." 

Not only Matsuura-san, but Rose and Gabriella lined up around Nishino's seat. 

From behind them, Shimizu gazes over the backs of the girls, and when it comes to this, as a Futsumen, he thinks about a lot of things. 

I'm not even in a relationship, but I'm starting to think that I'm a big deal. Even though she hasn't confessed her feelings for him, in his mind, he is already her boyfriend. He is a virgin who has not stopped thinking about her since a while ago. 

And Shimizu, who actually got a little annoyed, is a tsundere. 

At the same time, he understands this fact and has to writhe in agony. 

It's not like that, I'm not like that. 

It's not that I like Nishino-kun or anything like that. 

"I'm sorry, but I have to leave." 

The Futsumen stands up from his seat as if to shun those around him. 

He quickly walks out of the classroom. 

Rose calls out to him on his back. 

"Where are you going ?" 

"To the restroom." 

It was an escape from the scene, using the Chairwoman's favorite classroom escape method. 

As was the case when he stayed at an Internet cafe to study idols, Nishino has consciously kept his distance from Rose and Gabriella over the past few days. This is all because he is so conscious of the Chairwoman. 

The girls can't help but wonder about the Futsumen's behavior. 

In the past, he has been a bit of a jerk sometimes. 

However, these days, his behavior seems to be even more pronounced than ever before. 

"Sister, did you do something to make him hate you again?" 

"Wasn't that you?" 

The Chairwoman never dreamed that it was because he was aware of her. 

◇ ◆ ◇

Once they had finished their classes, it was time for lessons after school. 

On that day, the Chairwoman and Matsuura-san visited a training school in Shibuya. 

As a matter of course, Manager Nishino accompanied them. 

The Chairwoman was repulsed by the Futsumen's accompaniment, but Matsuura-san tolerated it with a sense of defiance. 

As for the latter, the advantage of having Futsumen's presence by her side was great. There was no way to avoid having him accompany her. 

After changing into practice clothes in the locker room, the two girls joined the other idol candidates in the rehearsal hall to move their bodies. They danced to the music, following the instructor's instructions, using the choreography they had memorized yesterday. They danced to the music, repeating the choreography over and over again. 

It was quite a hard practice. 

Matsuura-san was soon drenched in sweat and breathing hard. 

In contrast, the Chairwoman stands out from the surrounding students with her nimble steps. 

From Nishino's point of view, the latter's spats were a sight for sore eyes. 

Just looking at them from a corner of the rehearsal hall, a feeling of happiness filled his whole body. The Futsumen made her feel as if she were sharing a club activity with him after school. Or maybe that is something that will happen in the near future, she thought. 

I begin to think of extravagant things. 

Shimizu's powerful dance, full of vitality, was enough to make the other students feel a sense of threat. This was no exception, even for Alice Kurusugawa, whose future is assured. 

It happened during an intermission. 

Chairwoman and Matsuura-san were resting their bodies in a corner of the rehearsal hall, wiping off sweat and rehydrating. There was no reason for them to spend time together, but since they were both completely away from home, they naturally packed their bags close together. 

Alice Kurusugawa came to visit them. 

As they sat on the floor, she stood right in front of them and said.

"Um, Shimizu-san, may I have a word?" 

"What is it?"

She has a pleasant, good-natured smile on her face. 

It was the same smile that the Chairwoman had seen repeatedly at home yesterday. Searching for her name on the Internet, she came across a number of articles praising Alice Kurusugawa's appearance and her work as various anime and manga characters. 

As Matsuura-san explained, she is quite a celebrity in the cosplay community. On social media, her number of followers is in the high double digits. The Chairwoman was taken by surprise when she confirmed this fact. She is still a little pressured by the fact that she was approached by the other party. 

"I've been thinking since the day before yesterday that you're a great dancer, Shimizu-san." 

"Is that so ?" 

"If you don't mind, could you give me some tips?" 

Matsuura-san, on the other hand, did not seem to care about the other's circumstance in the slightest.

She interrupts their conversation and makes a harsh remark.

"Chairwoman, you don't have to deal with her. She has a very bad personality." 

"Oh, you're going to say that in front of her?" 

"It's true, isn't it? She tries to pull my leg during the practice." 

"......"

Matsuura-san is now in a state of high spirits, having discovered the power of Nishino's connections. 

The Chairwoman struggles to hold back her indignation, wondering what kind of person would say such a thing. Matsuura-san and Alice Kurusugawa are not so different in her eyes. In fact, the former was more dangerous as a person, only because she was older. 

According to an article on the Internet, the latter is still in junior high school. 

Although she fell down before her, it was a bad thing to do. 

"Do you know Alice by any chance?" 

"Maybe you have connections that made your cosplay so popular in the social media?" 

"......" 

Matsuura-san's tongue was relentless. 

This made Alice Kurusugawa's smile twitch. 

It is true that she had approached the Chairwoman with the intention of kicking her off. However, she was preemptively criticized by a person with a far more despicable mentality than herself. Moreover, she is being one-sidedly criticized in front of the other students. 

"How can you say that?" 

"Didn't you open your legs for a guy when you joined the training school?" 

"Wha......" 

Matsuura-san, taking advantage of the connections of someone she one-sidedly disliked and blatantly avoided, and putting on the shelf her own position of having opened her legs to anyone.

In this situation, not only the person being accused, but also the Chairwoman was absolutely mortified. 

As for Shimizu, she was more inclined to support Alice Kurusugawa. 

However, she was right next to her, and she was playing friendly. 

"Chairwoman, why don't you go to the bathroom? There's a lot of noise."

"............."

I have been close to Matsuura-san since the incident the other day when we had to go over Alice Kurusugawa. 

Me and Matsuura-san, we weren't that close, were we? 

I wanted to say that one word, but I couldn't, and I had to agonize over it. 

"Hmm? You're going to say that? Then Alice might have some different thoughts about it, too." 

"Do what you want. Just don't do it to much while you're young, or you'll end up on ●●●●."

"Wha... " 

Matsuura-san would no longer stop. 

Just like a car driving in full speed. 

Completely disregarding the presence of pedestrians. 

The Chairwoman, who was caught in the middle of the situation, she turned her gaze to the corner of the training room to ask Nishino to intercede. 

Then he saw Futsumen, who was not to be seen at such times. The lesson had gone into a break, so he headed for the restroom. The manager had gone to the trouble of holding out until the break. 

"........." 

Stopping to think, she covered herself with the towel she had on hand and let out a big sigh. 

◇ ◆ ◇

The Chairwoman, Matsuura-san, and Alice Kurusugawa are making noise in the training room.

There was a person watching them through the camera. 

The location is the same building in Shibuya, a separate space of the idol training school. 

A large number of LCD monitors are lined up against the wall. In front of them, video equipment for professional use can be seen embedded in the wide desks. The images shown on the screens are from surveillance cameras installed on each floor of the building. 

This is a so called monitor room. 

Tarosuke, Rose, and Gabriella are watching the videos. 

"Those girls are really pretending to be idols!" 

"Which one is the new girl you're going to be in charge of?" 

"The petite one who's currently arguing with your acquaintances." 

"Oh, you mean the one with the crazy hair color." 

"I think the blonde one is severe enough for you." 

"But then again, you have silver hair." 

The three of them could see the Chairwoman and Matsuura-san, who are now in the middle of a break, being entangled by Alice Kurusugawa. Shortly before that, they also caught a glimpse of Nishino walking out of the practice hall into the hallway. 

As they watched, words were exchanged among the members. 

Incidentally, only three people can be seen in the room. 

There was originally a guard, but he was temporarily removed from the room by Tarosuke. The reason for this is that the handsome man is the office's top earner, so a bit of foolishness is reasonable. 

"Auditions for the debutante selection start this weekend....." 

"It's a terrible idea to make it a contest, isn't it?"

"Like I said before, it wasn't my idea, okay? And I'm sure the girls are aware of it. But they're still practicing their dance moves hard for the opportunity to be seen." 

"So, you want her to shine at the audition?" 

It was Rose and Gabriella, with a shared purpose, who were ready to make their move. 

"This class is being assembled for the debut selection audition and will be disbanded after the selection process is complete. I don't know what Nishino will do at that point, but it will be a good opportunity for you guys to give him a tap on the shoulder."

"Are the other girls going to be rejected and thrown out?" 

"Not all of them. Many go back to where they came from." 

"I see."

"It is possible that someone catches their eye and they make their debut somewhere else." 

"It's a contest, but it's worth it." 

"But what the heck, one of them is moving around a lot....." 

The Chairwoman is flying and bouncing energetically to the music. 

Tarosuke looked at her through the monitor. 

Apparently, he is honestly impressed. 

"Oh, are you interested?" 

"Well, depending on how things go, someone might choose her."

"Hmm." 

As far as Rose is concerned, if it keeps the Chairwoman away from Nishino, it is not a bad idea. However, it would be a problem if he, as the manager, went away with her. And that possibility is not small.

In any case, she had no choice but to interfere. 

"Well, you can leave it to me. Just think of it as a big boat ride."

"I guess we'll just have to wait until the auditions start." 

"After all, can't we just pretend it never happened?" 

Contrary to Rose, who is full of enthusiasm, Tarosuke is a bit of a coward. 

He seems to be very reluctant to interfere with Nishino's work, even if it is for the sake of his job. If left unchecked, he might abandon his duties and let Matsuura-san and Chairwoman make their debut. Rose and Gabriella also somehow feel this. 

"I mean, how can you say that he didn't do anything wrong? It's not your fault." 

"But maybe it's part of his job......." 

"How is that possible?" 

"We have to make sure we get back the money we invested." 

Rose and Gabriella's decision is not changed.  

"Please don't do anything that will cause trouble for him, okay?" 

The Lolitas staring at the monitor. 

Looking at them, Tarosuke had no choice but to plead with them. 

◇ ◆ ◇

The idol candidate life of Chairwoman and Matsuura-san started last week. 

At first, it seemed to be smooth sailing, but after the clash with Alice Kurusugawa, the girls had to deal with some ups and downs. After the argument with Matsuura-san, the other party's actions became more relentless, and were directed at the girls on a daily basis. 

For example, after school on weekdays, when they visited the locker room of the training center. 

"What's this, my sho, my shoes are sticky....." 

"Oh, and mine too." 

There was an unidentifiable liquid on the practice shoes they kept in their locker. White and thickened, it appeared at first glance to be semen. In fact, the Chairwoman was so concerned about this possibility that she immediately withdrew her hand. 

Matsuura-san, on the other hand, judged it to be a bluff based on the aroma wafting to her nose. 

Grabbing it with her own hand, she immediately throws it out of the locker. 

"Wait, wait, don't touch that, it's dirty......" 

"It's a raw egg."

"...... Oh, really?" 

"Chairwoman, you've never seen semen?" 

"......." 

A casual conversation revealed her poor sexual experience. She tried to come up with an excuse on the spur of the moment, but she still couldn't think of a good response, so she had to make her lip twitch. Her knowledge of this kind of thing is limited only to videos. 

"Isn't that girl a completely different person than in the social media? I'm tempted to expose her." 

"Either way, I can't wear this anymore......" 

The unexpected act of bullying took the Chairwoman by surprise. 

Although just the other day she had had her textbooks hidden by her friends and her chastity targeted, Shimizu was not used to this kind of malice. She has been benefiting from her high ranking in the school caste for a long time. 

On the other hand, Matsuura-san is calm. 

She crouched down in front of her locker and began rummaging through the Boston bag at her feet. Until last week, she had been carrying a smaller bag, so its existence had been noticed by Shimizu from the time she was in the classroom. 

Then she took out a pair of clean shoes. 

And for some reason, there were two pairs. 

She then offered one of the pairs to the Chairwoman. 

"Here you go." 

"What's that?"

"For the Chairwoman. You're not prepared for this, are you?"

"What do you mean?" 

"I had a glimpse of the size before, so I think it's probably okay." 

The shoes had the logo of a major sports manufacturer for the public. 

They appeared to have been purchased not long ago, and no stains were visible on the soles. 

"Matsuura-san, do you mean you prepared for this?" 

"I know what it's like to be bullied."

"........"

Before the breakdance club fiasco, before she earned the nickname Matsuura the Knife, she had been relentlessly tormented by girls in and out of class. She had long since cleared her jacket of dirt. 

And the Chairwoman was aware of this fact. 

Matsuura-san had it coming. 

Therefore, Shimizu was not complicit, but pretended to turn a blind eye. 

But when she was offered a helping hand in this way, it was an unpleasant surprise to hear. 

"Mine is a substitute. You should be careful, Chairwoman." 

Matsuura-san speaks matter of fact as she puts on a pair of shoes she pulled out of her handbag. 

Then she tells her that the shoes soiled in her locker, the design is different from the ones she usually wears, or something. It is Shimizu, who was unaware of her classmate's well preparedness until she gets told. 

"Um, how expensive is this....." 

"Free, it's not that big a deal." 

"......."

The one-sided comradery from Matsuura-san warmed the Chairwoman's heart in some way. She is a very sweet girl who was unintentionally touched by Matsuura-san's feelings for her, which was aided by the fact that she had just been betrayed by a group of good friends at school. 

On the other hand, Chairwoman is a valuable asset to Matsuura-san in a completely away- rom home training school. Regardless of their past history, it was meaningful for them to get along with each other in order to defeat Alice Kurusugawa. She approaches Shimizu forcefully based on her calculation. 

On another day, there was a slight commotion on the way home. 

It was on their way home after a lesson at the training school. 

It was just after they had parted ways with Manager Nishino. 

On their way to the nearest station, the Chairwoman and Matsuura-san were approached by two men. In a busy neighborhood close to the train station, even though they were dressed in school uniforms, others would not pay attention to them when they were approached by the opposite sex. 

Ignoring this, they assumed it was just a common hookup. 

But the other party was persistent. 

They never gave up and repeatedly approached her. 

Eventually, the other party, who was more forceful than expected, took Matsuura-san's hand. 

By the way, both of them were quite handsome. 

Moreover, they were young, around 20 years old. 

Matsuura's was not too happy to be taken. 

As she had been absorbed in enjoying the host club until just last week, she was moved by the situation. Now she can send the Chairwoman home first and have the whole fun to herself. She was also eagerly invited to the party, and just as she was thinking, Since I've gone to all this trouble, I might as well have a little fun. 

Another man extended his arm toward the Chairwoman. 

His hand gripped her wrist, just as the other one had done to Matsuura-san. 

"........" 

Immediately after, the Chairwoman, being unexpectedly touched by the opposite sex, takes action. 

Lowering her hips, she takes a step forward. 

At the same time, hse grips the man's wrist back and twists it.

"Ahhh!?" 

A scream rises from the man's mouth. 

Recently, Shimizu has been experiencing a number of disturbing events. Shimizu has been doing physical exercise at home as a distraction from her studies, hoping to learn at least one self-defense technique in addition to the golden target that she already has as a possession. It seems to have worked out beautifully. 

Her fluid body movements were as good as those of an action movie actor. 

"......Chairman, really?" 

Matsuura-san's eyes were dazzled by this. 

And above all, she was the most upset. 

The arm twist up went in more easily than she had thought. 

Moreover, a rather loud scream was heard from the other party. 

She did not expect a grown man to scream so easily. 

"I'm sorry!" 

In a great hurry, the Chairwoman lets go of her hand and sets up a distance of about half a step. 

Apparently, she had injured his joints, and even after she moved away, he continued to roll his back and protect his wrists. When this happened, people passing by on the street began to look at them with attention. Some even stopped here and there. 

The two men looked surprised at this and stared at her. 

"What the... What the hell, bitch!" 

The man with the twisted wrist stared at Shimizu. 

He was terrified from the pain for a short time. The other man also let go of Matsuura-san's hand, and took a stance against the Chairwoman. 

The soft demeanor he had displayed just a few moments ago was gone. 

The fact that the older man was staring at her made even the quintessential Chairwoman a bit frightened. 

Although she was afraid of what she feared, the personality of the Chairwoman could be a little stronger when there was someone weaker than herself. 

"If you persist any longer, I will call the police!"

"You're the one who made the first move!" 

As for Matsuura-san, she was completely ungrateful. 

It ruined the threesome of good-looking guys.

As we were doing this, a cab pulled up right next them. 

It pulled up to the sidewalk where the girls were, and the back seat door opened. 

"Will you stop messing with my idols?" 

It was Manager Nishino who showed up. 

He was speaking with one foot down from the car. 

And he was dressed in a suit. 

He is the one who goes out of his way to change from his uniform to a suit to visit the training center. 

He was actually following after the Chairwoman and Matsuura-san, who had witnessed them being tangled up with a group of unknown men shortly after they had separated. After the Chairwoman's action, it was time to charge in. 

The cab that he took was parked just around the corner. 

"Nishino-kun....." 

"Chairwoman, Matsuura-san, I'll take you home." 

He informs the driver to stand by, and then steps briskly out of the car and onto the street. 

Then, he reverently points to the vacant back seat.

The fluidity of his body language was something he had developed during the sales competition with Yuya at the host club. Recalling the scene from those days, the Chairwoman's heart beat uncontrollably, and since the other day, her heart has been beating wildly at every turn. 

"Who the hell are you !" 

Futsumen who were clearly underage, in some cases as young as junior high school students. 

Naturally, the men voiced their outrage. 

The fighting spirit of the men flared up, as if to say, Don't let this guy get the better of you. 

Matsuura-san looked at them and said, as if an idea had just occurred to her. 

"Maybe you know Alice Kurusugawa ? " 

"........" 

The men's reaction was remarkable. 

The fighting spirit that had flared up in response to Nishino's cynical attitude was quickly extinguished. The wrinkles between their brows disappeared, and their feet stopped as they were about to take a step forward. Their clenched fists open, and their shoulders rise slightly. 

"This is ridiculous. I can't deal with this shit." 

"Right? Let's just go." 

They nodded to each other and quickly left the girls. 

It seems that she was right. 

Matsuura-san sighs heavily, as if she has reached an agreement. 

On the other hand, the Chairwoman just tilted her head at the other party's reaction. 

"What, hey, what do you mean?" 

"Nishino-kun, the way you just saved the day, I think that's okay." 

Putting aside the bewildered Shimizu, Matsuura-san turned to the Futsumen after being saved from a critical situation. She is a slut who would have nearly ended her idol life if the Chairwoman had not outburst or if Nishino had not rushed to her aid. 

Takeuchi's phone, for example, still has a fuck shot of him with her.

"I'm sure it's an important job for a manager to keep his staff safe." 

"But you mean you've been following us, right?" 

"I've been living in an unfamiliar hotel for a while now. After we split up, I remembered that we were on the same route. I wasn't following you. However, I would like to take care of your personal safety from now on." 

The manager's remarks generate irritation points at every word. 

Still, Matsuura-san never expresses her exasperation. She had decided that until she was an idol, she would never disparage someone, even if they were a Futsumen. Even though she does not smile, she continues her conversation as usual.

"Do you care about us?" 

"I've decided that once I've accepted a job, I'm going to finish it." 

He was in a light work mode. 

It was a tone that Tarosuke would have been pleased to hear. 

In this case, the Chairwoman, felt a little ticked off. Because the comments he made were directed at someone other than herself. Even if the comment included her own situation, what Nishino saw was Matsuura-san. one other than myself. Even if it includes his own body, it is Mr. Matsuura that is visible to Nishino. 

"Now, Nishino-kun, were you that good?" 

Perhaps that is why Shimizu found herself opening her mouth. 

Shimizu could have stopped herself, but instead she said what she wanted to say. And when their gazes turned to look at her after she said it, she felt embarrassed and her expression became tense. Not only the Futsumen, but also Matsuura-san paid attention to her. Furthermore, there were still a few passersby who were looking at them. 

The word idol that Nishino had mentioned may have caused the commotion to drag on. 

What, is she a celebrity? Is she an idol? Yes, she's cute, they said. 

"Sorry for the lack of response, Chairwoman." 

"I didn't mean anything by it!" 

"From now on, I'd like you to arrange with me to take you to and from the training center." 

"No, I mean, you know........." 

Since Nishino was honest enough to comply with the request, she was left with nothing to stand on. 

The more she complained, the better she would be treated. 

"Let's just get you two home for the day." 

"You don't have to go that far." 

"No, I've got a little extra money in my pocket this month." 

Matsuura-san, who did not know the other party's financial situation, asked him to stop being so stubborn. Nishino, however, was not bothered by this, and continued to be cynical. He tried to play it cool, but everyone who heard his complaints had no choice but to take him at his word. 

They wondered if it was all right to spend his money on such a thing. 

"Customer, are you in or not?" 

Thereafter, rushed by the cab driver, Nishino and his friends left the streets of Shibuya.
