ââFor now, I guess weâll have to take action against Clara. Worst case scenario, weâll have to consider removing Clara from the group for goodâŠâŠ.â\n
After we were able to seize the man with the knife thanks to Kazehaya-kun, the manager had a talk with the important people involving Clara-chan.\n
The fact that such a commotion occurred at a live concert has caused terrible damage to our group.\n
It was a very serious incident for the office because we had been steadily increasing our popularity and had recently started to make a big impact nationally, and for that reason, we heard that the punishment for Clara-chan would be severe.\n
Clara-chan was crying and apologizing, but the managers were not going to forgive her.\n
I felt sorry for her, but there was nothing I could do.\n
However, ironically, my popularity on social media seems to be skyrocketing at the moment.\n
My manager said that I won the hearts of many people because I stood up to the man with the knife while defending Clara-chan.\n
Apparently, someone had taken a video of what happened at that time, and the fact that the video was circulating on social media was a big factor.\n
âBut I didnât care about that.\n
It didnât make any sense for me to become popular by myself.\n
I wanted the three of us to work hard together.\n
I wanted the three of us to get along well together.\n
But that might not be possible anymore.\n
Because the fact that Clara-chan was seducing that man was all over social networking sites.\n
âNekoto-san, are you okayâŠâŠ?â\n
As I was thinking while staring at the crying Clara-chan, Arisa-chan from the same group approached me with concern.\n
Iâm sure sheâs worried about her future, but itâs very sweet of her to worry about me.\n
I know that Clara-chan is also a very good girl in spite of her dangerous nature.\n
Thatâs why I love this group, and I wanted to keep working with the three of us.\n
âYeah, Iâm fine. Are you okay, Arisa-chan?â\n
I replied, forcing a smile so as not to worry her.\n
However, since weâve known each other for a long time, it seems that Arisa knew exactly what I was doing.\n
âNo matter how it ends, let us try our best again, as the three of us.â\n
As she gently laid her own hand over mine, Arisa-chan encouraged me in a very gentle voice.\n
She seemed to think that the three of us would do our best together, just as I did.\n
I felt a little relieved by that.\n
âYeah, letâs work hard again.â\n
âI answered, but the reality was very cruel.\n
âThe punishment has been decided. Clara will be suspended for a while, and after that, she will be allowed to work solo. From now on, Nekoto and Arisa will work as a two-person group.â\n
â âOh, no. âŠâŠ!â â\n
The punishment was so severe that both Arisa and I couldnât help but exclaim.\n
Clara-chan has already been taken out of her room.\n
I had a bad feeling when she was taken out, but I never thought she would be removed from the group.\n
â The three of us have come this far together! No matter what, you canât remove her from the groupâŠâŠ.â\n
âIt canât be helped. If it had been an ordinary idol group, we might not have taken this action, but your popularity has been soaring lately â you have the potential to become top idols. Therefore, we must remove any unnecessary obstacles.â\n
âBut thatâs only because Clara-chan was there too!\n
I managed to insist that Clara-chan not be removed.\n
But the manager shook his head.\n
âClaraâs popularity is currently plummeting. On the contrary, as I said earlier, Nekotoâs popularity has increased considerably. Instead of being on par with Arisa, who was originally the most popular due to her angelic singing voice, Nekoto is becoming even more popular. You canât let this chance pass you by, can you?â\n
âButâŠ!â\n
âJust give it a rest already! You are a professional idol! Think about making a profit for yourself!â\n
The manager shouted at me for the first time as I persisted.\n
It was the first time I had ever been yelled at by a manager, and I didnât know what to do.\n
My head was a mess and my eyes started to get very hot.\n
Then, without a second thought, I run out of the room.\n
âNekoto-chanâŠâŠ!â\n
I could hear Arisa-chanâs voice from behind my back, but I just kept running.\n
After that, I went out of the building and cried alone in a place where no one could find me.\n
I had never imagined that a single event could destroy everything we had built up in an instant.\n
Iâve worked so hard to get to this point, but I donât know what Iâve worked so hard for anymore.\n
I know it was Clara-chanâs fault, and I also know that as an idol, I have to follow the wishes of the agency.\n
I know that in my head, but my heart wasnât convinced.\n
âhicâŠhic..it is terrible..hicâŠhicâŠitâs too muchâ\n
My heart is very painful because of it, and I need someone to listen to me.\n
Mmm, not someone.\n
I want that person⊠to listen to me.\n
Someone who can make this pain go awayâ\n
âI didnât want you to see your crying face âŠâŠ.â\n
âEh âŠâŠ?â\n
A voice suddenly came from above my head.\n
It was the voice of the person I wanted to hear the most.\n
When I reflexively looked up, I saw a boy looking down at me, who was supposed to have left after the concert was interrupted.\n
âWhy..â \n
â Because you ran out so fast, I guess. Do you want to talk about it?â\n
The person who said that to me looked at me with a slightly troubled smile and a very warm look in his eyes.\n
That was the greatest salvation for me right now.\n\n
