NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 55 – Underground Live
Edited by The Darkest Knight#4796
Okay, sometimes plans simply didn't work out how I wanted them to. Just like what happened this time, I was thinking of going in person and watching girls' performances which had a similar appearance to Azki's.
Of course, I never thought of going there alone, but at the same time, I never thought of going with a group of people. At first, I thought to bring one bodyguard or borrow some Ryuju-san people again. But in the end, I did change my plan, and honestly, it was because of what Mem-cho said.
Yeah, what she said was not something new, and I think several people already told me to take it easy and enjoy my life. I understood why they felt that way because, when viewed from outside my perspective. I don't look like a child, but perhaps a man who was a workaholic.
I mean, I did many things other than acting and writing a movie script as a screenwriter. Also, I made those songs for Starlight and, of course, the other things that I learned outside school stuff. Well, I learned a lot, primarily how to utilize my young body. I mean this young body was quite impressive— It was easy to remember stuff, like martial arts, singing a song, playing a musical instrument, and other stuff that may have helped me in acting or other stuff.
That's why I found it enjoyable even though I may look busy. Unlike my life in the past, all my hard work was fulfilling or resulted in something significant. For example, when learning a musical instrument in my past life, I felt that I didn't develop well and could only understand a little. In contrast, it feels like I can learn almost everything in the world.
Yeah, it felt like a cheat. That's why I enjoyed learning everything I could to make my life easier in the future since this young body was terrific. However, this body was always sleepy when the clock was already above nine o'clock at night. No matter how tired I was, my body always felt fresh when I woke up the next day. I didn't know if this was because his body was still young and energetic or perhaps one of the cheats.
Whether it was a cheat or not, what was certain was that Aqua's brain and body were extraordinary compared to my body in the past. I could understand better, and this body felt like it had a better motor and was more energetic anyway.
That was the body I was dreaming of! And I didn't forget this body had such a good face too. Ahahaha—
"Onii-chan, You seem very dissatisfied," Ruby said those words. At the same time, she grabbed my hand as we walked toward our destination, an underground venue.
I looked at Ruby and sighed as I saw several people follow me, and the oldest one was Mem-cho. Yeah, as many people have told me to take it easy. I changed my mind and started thinking to just enjoy myself. It was my first time seeing people perform in an underground venue.
Rather than going with a bodyguard and the like, It would be more interesting to go out with a beautiful woman like Mem-cho than muscular men. But I never expected some people would join me on this short trip.
"Of course, since I've never expected you to come and you're not alone too—" I said while looking at Kobachi, who walked beside Ruby.
"I apologize if I came uninvited," Kobachi said in a very gloomy voice.
"No, it's fine. I just never thought you would come. I mean, I don't think it's an appropriate place for kids to come, right?" I replied with a slight panic, and I was naturally feeling guilty hearing Kobachi's gloomy voice.
"To be honest, I'm not really interested either. It's just that Ruby—simply forced me to come." Kobachi replied while she gave me a half-hearted laugh.
"Is that so? Sorry about that—" I apologized to her, while Ruby acted like my small conversation with Kobachi wasn't about her since her face was just full of smiles.
"Geez, what are you thinking?" I let my hand go for her hand and made such a symbolic move that drilled my hand into her head, like in a particular show named Shin-chan.
"Gyaaaa, what are you doing? Onii-chan!!!?" It hurts!!" She screamed as I gave her a minor punishment.
"And how did Ruby end up here?" I asked those questions to the culprit. Right now, the girl was observing and looking at our behavior with a smile on her face. She was even holding a camera in her hand.
"Sorry, but it looks like Ruby may have heard my conversation with Miyako even though I promised to help you with anything. I still need Miyako's permission to bring you to this kind of place." Mem-cho replied with a shrug.
"Yes, it was actually Mum who really wanted to go here with you. But since she couldn't— I am the one who changed her place to observe what you will do." Ruby whispered that to me, which made me understand what actually happened.
"Well, if that's the case, I understand. But why did you bring Kobachi here?" I asked with a low voice in her ears too.
"Well, it's because I really want to get Kobachi interested in becoming an Idol. Honestly, I really want Kobachi to be in an idol group with me… I've already asked her several times, but she didn't look interested in being an Idol, and maybe she will be only just a pop star. That's why I must first make her interested in an idol?" She told me her reasoning, even though it sounded believable and understandable. I still thought this was a stupid plan.
"Do you think if we bring her to an underground venue and have her watch Underground Idols, which may be too much for a twelve-year-old girl? Somehow this plan would make her interested in Idol." I told my honest feelings.
"Ugh, but— she never shows any interest even though I always show her my favorite B-komachi performances. She didn't take the bait at all—" Ruby responded to me with a half-crying face.
"Maybe, because of that— She has had enough."
"Ugh, anyway— Please, help me! Mum became an idol from a young age. I want to become an Idol, too, and it will be great if Kobachi joins my idol group!!"
"Ah, I'll try my best. I guess…"
I could only agree with her begging while giving her a kind smile. Well, this was a request from my cute little sister— There was no way I would turn her request down.
But before I did anything, we arrived at the place we were heading to. I mean, it wasn't a scary building. It was a regular building with a stairway leading to the basement. It was such a prominent place for those types of underground idols. Since the building gave off a few suspicious vibes, those fans were already lurking around in the area.
"Oh, look— It seems that we have arrived," Mem-cho said, while Kobachi looked uncomfortable and immediately stood behind me. She even grabbed the hem of my clothing quite hard.
Yeah, we arrived at the place, but I didn’t know why I felt like I had such bad vibes.
