Scouting from entertainment agencies

Scouting from entertainment agencies

Ikuo and his friends were transferred to Inou Gakuen, a school for psychics only.

The building was magnificent and well-equipped.

Moreover, the psychics, many of whom were hard workers, were all good people, and his classmates were the best.

But that thought was short-lived.

The Ministry of Education intervened and said that classes would be decided based on grades after a written test.

However, Kiriha and the other heroines all had excellent grades.

In order to be placed in the same class as them, Ikuo must achieve good grades.

Thus began Ikuo’s test preparation.

When the recording was over, the atmosphere on the site suddenly relaxed, the guests greeted each other and withdrew, and the female entertainer from earlier glanced at us with an irritated look, then strode out of the studio, moving her fingers as if operating an AR display.

“Good work, Honey.”

When KIRIHA came out from offstage, she patted me on the head for some reason. I didn’t feel like I was being treated like a child, but it made me feel good, so I just let her do what she wanted.

“Shisae has had a tough time as well.”

“Shisae’s fine. They won’t go extinct forever. Well, don’t worry about it, Shisae is just exterminating non-native species to maintain the ecosystem today and tomorrow. There is no need to fight or win. Shisae refuted her because the camera was there, but.”

Immediately, Shisae’s shoulders began to shrink and tremble.

“Is this going to be alright, Honey-chan? Won’t Shisae’s house go up in flames tomorrow?”

“It won’t go up in flames physically. Just calm down.”

“Then, please calm Shisae down.”

Shisae nuzzled her face into my chest.

“Hey, don’t be like this.”

“Don’t be cold. White rabbits die when they’re lonely.”

“Then you’re alright. You’re human.”

“Argumentative harassment is a no-no.”

“It’s not harassment when it’s just an argument, right?”

While we were messing around, someone suddenly approached us.

I thought it was the female entertainer who had just walked out, but it turned out to be a man.

“Hey, guys, you got a minute? Nice to meet you.”

A small, fat man with glasses offered me MR’s digital business card with a big smile on his face.

Apparently, he was the president of an entertainment agency.

‘Are you guys interested in the entertainment business?”

“The entertainment business?”

When I asked, the president clapped his hands vigorously.

“That’s right! The strongest psychic group in the spotlight right now, the Unique Holder Big Four! And the guardian of justice, Arima Maria, and the miraculously beautiful girl, Harikiri Kiriha! You guys will sell!”

I frowned at the overly formal tone of his words.

Thanks to Maria, the black side of the entertainment industry was being cleared away, but I still did not have a good impression of the entertainment industry.

“Something like that, isn’t it really just because Maria-chan has left a hole in the talent and idols of your company, and you just want some replacement?”

Shisae’s point made the president’s expression harden for a moment.

“No, of course not. I’m recruiting you because of your charisma.”

I refuse to be scouted. I’m not good-looking like everyone else, so I’m sure I’ll look out of place, and I don’t know what they’ll do to me because of the “fame tax”. Hey (someone who saved my embarrassing video) Miina!”

“Right, right, fame tax is the worst.”

I told her with a stronger tone of voice as if I was imposing a branding mark on her, but Miina did not suffer any damage.

I dropped to my knees in my mind.

“Shisae isn’t interested in the entertainment business either.”

“Then, Arima-san, how about you doing it yourself? I think it would be appealing, especially regarding your job on preventing crime to be on the TV.”

“I think it would be more effective if I spent my time doing Thoughtography instead of appearing on TV.”

I was starting to feel more and more sorry for Ijuin.

Even sympathy came to mind.

The president, in a total state of shock, turned to Kiriha, his last hope.

But Kiriha’s expression was cold.

“I wonder if I’m okay with that. I mean, I don’t want to be on TV.”

After letting out a breath of indifference, Kiriha said with a spike in her voice,

“Isn’t it hell to live your life while trying to charm and flatter other people?”

Saying this, Kiriha took my hand.

“Then Honey, let’s get back to MIC.”

“Ok.”

As we all headed for the waiting room, we heard a voice behind us saying, “If you change your mind, call me anytime!”

But Kiriha, with a bored look on her face, held out her MR business card to Maria.

“Maria. Is that president doing something wrong?”

“Please wait.”

After looking over the name and company on the MR business card she received from Kiriha, Maria nodded.

“Yes. He seems to have sold several idols to the porn industry under illegal contracts.”

“I knew it. Maria, you should post the proof of it today.”

“I just finished posting it.”

“As expected of you, you work fast.”

Kiriha’s mouth was aglow with white teeth.

Kiriha now had a bit of an evil air about her.

“But Kiriha is so beautiful that if she became an idol, she would be seriously popular, wouldn’t she?”

I said jokingly, and Kiriha snorted.

“I don’t want to be an idol. Because love is prohibited, right? I’m going to marry Honey on my 18th birthday, you know.”

Kiriha’s arms reached out and around my neck, and I was roughly embraced.

My cheek touches the side of Kiriha’s hair, and the sweet smell of her hair flows into my nostrils.

Combined with the word “marriage,” which was released unexpectedly, I bite my lip in my mouth, my cheeks hardening with happiness and embarrassment.

“Fufu, Honey, you are getting hard, huh?”

“Huh!?”

Immediately after I became aware of my own lower body, Kiriha let the sound of her licking, alluring voice flow into my ear.

“Your cheeks that is.”

The thin fingertips poked me on the cheeks, and my face became hot to the point of tingling.

“Y-you…”

Kiriha looked cool even though I made an angry face and glared at her as best as I could.

“Hmm~, I was just saying that Honey’s cheeks are hard, you know~?”

—Guh, how funny! Damn, just wait! When we turn 18 and get married, I swear I’ll turn the balance of power around! I will show Her Majesty, the Queen Bee, a civil revolution!

The voice in my heart was displayed on Maria’s MR screen.

“Mariaaaa!?”

“Heeh~, Honey is so bold. Hey, Honey, do you make your civil revolution in the bathroom or in bed?”

“W-well, that’s…”

“Honey-kun, you have to wait until you’re 18, okay?”

“Miina, aren’t you getting really mean lately?”

“Maybe it’s just your imagination.”

“Kiriha-chan, Shisae will be in bed with you and we’ll take countermeasures against the civil revolution!”

“You stay away from Kiriha!”

I made a karate chop gesture with both hands, and Maria replied hollowly.

“Yes, this is Maria…Ah, Maiko-san…eh? Yes. That’s why I didn’t mention the size of your bra…I didn’t say anything about your butt. I’m a woman of my word.”

Hmhm, Maria made a Gut Pose in front of her chest.

I gave a silent prayer to Maiko.
