Told Straight From The Person Themself
Hanami Sena.
The pride and joy of Chaldea Music, as well as the mastermind behind the harassment that Shiorin and the girls faced.
That very girl was currently standing right before my eyes.
…That’s strange. The only performers at today’s event should be idols.
Hanami, Chaldea Music’s signature singer, isn’t scheduled to perform.
The entrance and exit were blocked by the idols, so we stood and watched from the edge of the room as they greeted each other.
“Great work, everyone. So, have you carried out the plan against those girls?”
“Yes! We have denied Synchronicity a place to practice everyday until now, so their performance should be a wreck!”
“Ohoho! I’m looking forward to watching that! Good grief, how much effort do they think it took me to land my first appearance on television. And yet, those girls have gained the spotlight without any hard work at all… I hope they mess up huge and embarrass themselves!”
Hanami then cackled loudly again.
She really said all that out loud, huh. That’s incredible…
“Ritsuki, so she’s the mastermind…”
“You mustn’t try to beat her up, Rinka. If you do, that is when we lose.”
“Wow… I’ve seen her on TV before…”
Hanami noticed our gaze and walked over to us.
“―Oh? Do I see some run-of-the-mill otakus blending into the background over here?”
“Ah, no. we’re actually Synchronicity-affiliated otakus.”
Wait, what do I even mean by “Synchronicity-affiliated otakus?”
Hanami’s statement made me inadvertently create a mysterious new phrase.
“Those girls…? Heh, it’s no wonder you all possess neither refinement nor presence, especially you. You are in the presence of an idol, so it’d do you some favors to pay closer attention to your appearance.”
Hanami then singled me out with her folding fan.
It’s not surprising, but her treatment towards me when I’m in my Kitarou getup is worlds apart from how she treats me when I’m in my Shion getup.
“You see, I am very close with the superstar, Shion-sama! Of course, I’m not saying you should be as good as him, but try to at least put a bit more consideration into your appearance. And you, red-haired girl, look fabulous!”
She bonked mine and Hasumi’s head with her fan before generously praising Rinka.
Oh no, Rinka’s trembling with anger now.
I guess she’s holding back because she doesn’t want Shiorin and the others’ hard work to go to waste.
Also, can she really say she’s “very close” with Shion if all she does is unilaterally send emails to Shion’s work email address?
After she said everything she wanted to say to us, she left her coat in the dressing room and turned on her heel.
“―Well then, I’m going to laugh in the audience at those girls’ completely uncoordinated singing and dancing!”
With that, Hanami took the idols who had finished their turns on stage with her and left.
