She even had to consider the possibility that she was too old, and Producer wouldn't want her even if she delivered herself to his door.
There were so many beautiful girl idols in the agency who wanted to receive Producer's guidance, and none of them were worse than her. Why on earth should he give this over-aged JK a chance...
"Everyone, it's about time for meals. How about we have dinner together, and later accompany Elder Brother to watch the concert together?"
As the idols all around gradually dispersed, Shiba Miyuki, who had been gone for a long time, elegantly walked into the pond and looked smilingly at Lumine, cosplayed by Tendouji Sarina, and Ling.
Ling and Lumine were both younger sisters, and this Kamisato Ayaka she cosplayed was also a younger sister. Let's see who was Elder Brother's most considerate younger sister?
"No no, taking photos today was too tiring. We have to go back and rest a bit."
Shiba Miyuki thought it out well, but Ling, who had played very happily just now, did not want to compare anything with Shiba Miyuki and hurriedly waved her hands in refusal.
Without waiting for Shiba Miyuki, she hurriedly pulled MEM-cho, Arima Kana, and the others away.
Actually, both Tendouji Sarina and Hoshino Ai wanted to stay behind, but they didn't know Shiba Miyuki's specific situation either. It was better to let Ling, who advanced through pillow business, handle this kind of thing.
Nnn... normally, idols who advanced through pillow business would definitely be discriminated against, but it had to be said that now, they actually deeply envied Ling, who was able to sleep with the Producer.
Before them, out of so many idols in the idol agency, besides the mermaid songstresses, only Himemiya Elisa, Satsuki Botan, and Kujou Sakurako, three people, had relatively intimate contact with Producer. At worst, they were popular idols. The others were basically seeing the Producer for the first time today.
One could imagine how hard it was for these idols of theirs to receive Producer's love even once.
No wonder they had heard earlier that there were numerous small cliques in the Service Club, and that even wealthy conglomerate young ladies had to line up if they wanted to offer their bodies. Only today did they truly recognize the "cruelty" within the Service Club.
"Did you become an idol instead of an actress because you wanted to use the back door to advance too?"
Because of Shiba Miyuki's delay, Tendouji Sarina and her group were almost the last to leave.
However, when they left the line of sight of Hachiman and Shiba Miyuki, they found that the girl who had cosplayed Yelan earlier was waiting here. Seeing them come over, she immediately blocked their path.
"Hah? Kurokawa Akane, how do you have the nerve to tell me off!"
Even though Arima Kana was still letting her imagination run wild just now, upon hearing Kurokawa Akane come to question her, she immediately couldn't resist retorting and began pointing fingers at Kurokawa Akane, who was still cosplaying Yelan.
"Sporting such large breasts, they were almost shoved right into Producer's face, right."
"Were you taking cosplay photos or shooting a porno?"
She was yes-men and submissive in front of Producer, but in front of Kurokawa Akane, this former fan and current rival, she wouldn't hold back.
"I was recreating the character design! The clothing design and character design are just like this, okay!"
Kurokawa Akane clenched her fists with both hands and glared at Arima Kana, puffed up with anger.
She believed her actions were entirely for the sake of recreating the cosplay character, without the slightest bit of selfish motive.
It was just that her physical stamina depleted a bit quickly during the photo shoot, and her body went soft and couldn't hold up, that was all.
"Hehe, since you think you were recreating the character design, then what are you here to question? Wasn't I also recreating the character design!"
Arima Kana hummed. Tossing aside the thoughts in her mind that couldn't be spoken to others, she had merely cosplayed Nilou in front of Producer and danced a little; she hadn't even kissed Producer like MEM-cho did.
Kurokawa Akane could question anyone, but questioning her was the most unreasonable of all!
"Could it be jealousy?"
"Right, just now in front of Producer you said, 'Actually, the catalyst for me becoming an actress was also because of the genius child-star Arima, who is the same age as me.'"
As she spoke, Arima Kana imitated Kurokawa Akane's tone and wagged a finger triumphantly at Kurokawa Akane.
"Little Sister Akane, this won't do. A jealous woman won't be liked by Producer."
Although she was long past her prime as a child star and her career in the entertainment circle was going very poorly right now, she had to admit that Kurokawa Akane becoming an actress out of admiration for her was something she could be proud of.
"I am not jealous at all! I just didn't want you to go astray! Pillow business is unacceptable!"
Seeing Arima Kana start to pester and make a scene unreasonably, Kurokawa Akane, who had a somewhat serious and honest personality, did not deny the fact that she had once admired Arima Kana, merely rebutting with a flushed red face.
She felt that there was no way Producer had ever heard of her.
Looking at Producer's reaction when conversing with her, there was only one possibility: Arima Kana had proactively brought her up herself.
Then on what grounds was Arima Kana able to meet the Producer and proactively bring her up?
She didn't even have the leeway to judge whether Arima Kana wanted to pull her up using the opportunity she gained through pillow business.
She only hoped Arima Kana hadn't done that kind of stupid thing.
She had no way to condemn standard exchanges of interests; talent agencies and idol agencies couldn't possibly let whoever had the strongest skills go on stage based solely on that.
But advancing by relying on one's body was a no-go! That kind of thing was unacceptable!
Arima Kana, you are a genius child star. With your acting skills being so good, how could you advance through pillow business!
"Didn't want me to go astray... do you think I am worthy of accepting Producer's unwritten rules?"
Originally intending to continue lashing out at Kurokawa Akane, this guy who had seemingly turned from a fan into a hater, Arima Kana suddenly lost the desire to bicker upon hearing Kurokawa Akane's heartfelt words of concern for her.
What was even more awkward than being misunderstood as having done pillow business?
It was that she didn't have the qualifications to do pillow business!
"Ah? Not worthy of accepting the unwritten rules?"
Looking at Arima Kana, whose enthusiasm had suddenly waned and who no longer wanted to speak, Kurokawa Akane was stunned.
Did she misunderstand?
Was the relationship between Arima Kana and the Producer innocent?
"The one who truly advanced through pillow business is Ling. She is the most favored one in front of Producer. We in B Komachi were only able to get so close to Producer because of her."
While opening her mouth to help explain, MEM-cho searched for Ling's figure.
If it was normally, even if she knew which idol had genuinely advanced through pillow business, she wouldn't dare say it out loud and offend people.
But here in the Service Club, being able to do pillow business was indeed an enviable thing, so she boldly spoke it out directly.
It just so happened that she also wanted to take this opportunity to ask what stage Ling and Producer had reached exactly, and whether she had to go serve Producer every single day.
There were five of them in B Komachi. If there really came a day where several of them became like Ling, then would they take turns keeping Producer company, or would they keep Producer company together?
"Eh?"
"Where is Ling?"
"She was just here a moment ago?!"
MEM-cho, Hoshino Ai, and Tendouji Sarina looked around in a circle but failed to spot Ling's figure, only then realizing that Ling, who had been pulling them to run, had vanished without them noticing.
"Wait, what is this Ling cosplayer's real name? Aren't you members of the same group? Why do you only call her by the name of the character she's cosplaying?"
