125 – Audition Preliminaries (14)
I knew that Setsuna’s hometown was quite far away from Tokyo,
It was really far to actually get there.
She said it would take almost six hours by car, so she just took a plane.
“You are a wealthy farmer.”
“Yes, it’s really spacious.”
There was a large rice field in front of Setsuna’s house.
She said that all the large rice fields belonged to her family, so it was a fairly well-to-do family.
… In the game, it is said that he feels a complex about being from the countryside, but it seemed like he was born into a better family than most people from the city.
I rang the doorbell next to the doorplate.
Then a crunching sound was heard inside and the front door opened.
“Oh, hello… ! I’m sorry for making you come all the way to the countryside…….”
“No, it’s okay. I was also in Japan at the time. “Is your father inside?”
“Yes.”
Setsuna shrugs her shoulders like she is guilty.
[Name: Setsuna Nagano]
[Current Thoughts: Oh, how embarrassing….]
Well, I understand your feelings.
Even if you’re like me, if your parents make a fuss and your boss comes to visit you, you’ll want to hide in her hole.
On the other hand, even if Setsuna is an adult, she is only twenty-three, so she is college age.
In a way, it was natural for her to be worried about her parents.
“It’s a nice place with really clean air, here.”
“Is that so…?” ? It’s too far from Tokyo….”
“It doesn’t have to be a metropolitan area to be a good place.”
hahahaha, I laughed as lightly and brightly as possible.
She shouldn’t make her idol feel sorry for me.
Especially in Setsuna’s case, she doesn’t consult properly and has a tendency to go wild on her own terms.
Following Setsuna’s guidance, I entered her house.
A middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman were sitting side by side on the living room floor.
They were probably like her parents.
“Setsuna, can you translate for me?”
“Yes… !”
She first politely greeted Setsuna’s parents and then asked if she could sit down.
Her father nodded at her.
Afterwards, she each introduced herself.
“Hmm… ….”
Setsuna’s father looked intently at my face.
On her birthday, she remembered going to various job interviews here and there.
He didn’t say anything for over a minute, so I spoke first.
“First of all, I apologize for being late in letting you know that I have taken charge of Setsuna.”
Setsuna stood listening to her father’s Japanese,
“They say it’s okay. “I’m an adult anyway, so her dad was being stubborn.”
He interpreted it into Korean.
Surprisingly, he doesn’t have such a flirtatious personality.
Or maybe he said something nice out of courtesy since I bowed first and entered.
Setsuna’s father began to speak in a low voice.
“How long are you going to keep me in Korea?”
“She will be a trainee in Korea until she debuts, and after her debut, she will spend three months in Korea, three months in Japan, another three months in Korea, and so on.”
She was planning to make fondant fondant active.
Especially this time, as the audition was held in both Korea and Japan, her activities in Japan also had to be more elaborate.
“Then he asks if it’s okay if we meet while I’m in Japan.”
“Of course. However, it is difficult for Setsuna to come all the way here in person every time, so if possible, have her father and mother come to the Tokyo accommodation….”
Both of Setsuna’s parents nodded their heads at my words.
I felt like something was working out better than I expected.
Well, she was not originally opposed to being an idol herself, so all she had to do was get rid of the anxiety factor about Korea.
Being able to come to Japan and meet her on a regular basis eliminates the anxiety factor.
Setsuna’s father said something to her.
But she lost her temper and fought back.
… She’s Japanese so I couldn’t understand what she was saying at all.
She asked Setsuna, lightly tapping her shoulder.
“What’s wrong?”
“Oh, I’m sorry…” . Her dad said something rude….”
“It’s okay, please tell me.”
“That… Is it true that they don’t sell pillows? ….”
Oh, me again.
It will be sensitive because of the ‘NP TV’ s*xual entertainment incident.
Parents of daughters will naturally be worried.
“Please tell me you will write a memorandum.”
From noble mtl dot com
“Go, even a memorandum?”
“Everyone says it’s not like that.”
After Setsuna conveyed her intention to her father, her mother brought her pen and two pieces of paper.
She wrote it down because she knows how to speak both Korean and Japanese.
Of course, it was something her father sang.
Among them, there were some unique passages.
[Make sure that Setsuna never engages in heteros*xual relationships with men.]
Honestly, as a producer, there was nothing wrong with adding a no-dating clause.
Actually providing s*xual entertainment is also providing s*xual entertainment, but it seemed like the biggest concern was the fear of being deceived by a bad man in the city.
I thought maybe I would be included among those bad men….
“Please also write that if I fail to comply, I will compensate you by 100 million yen.”
“W-100 million yen?! Producer, that’s 1 billion won in Korean money!”
“I know. Even for me, 1 billion is a lot of money. So that means it’s sincere.”
[Name: Setsuna Nagano]
[Current thought: I really need to live like a nun from now on….]
… No, I don’t care if they date or get married after their idol activities are over.
Setsuna wrote down the compensation phrase I mentioned in her memorandum.
When Japanese, followed by Korean, was written on paper, both her father and mother opened their eyes wide.
In a capitalist society, there is no means as certain as money.
Suddenly, Setsuna’s mother stood up from her seat.
I thought I was going to the kitchen, but I took something out of the cabinet and returned to the living room.
“Mom wants to eat this.”
It was green tea and Japanese sweets.
… Suddenly, the treatment changes drastically.
Just looking at them, they looked expensive.
“Eat Songi too.”
I stuck a Japanese confectionery with a toothpick and brought it to Secretary Jeong Song-i’s mouth.
Her face turned red, as if she hadn’t expected it.
“Quickly.”
“Can I really eat it too?”
As I nodded, secretary Jeong Song-i slowly opened her mouth.
I wondered why he was so shy, and it seemed like it was because other people had eyes on him.
… Oops, I was also used to Jeongsong feeding things to her secretary, so she acted without thinking much.
As naturally as possible, I put a Japanese snack into her mouth.
Oh, it’s sweet and delicious.
It went well with green tea.
Korean green tea and Japanese green tea taste a little different.
[Name: Setsuna Nagano]
[Current thought: As expected, you are dating your secretary.]
Well, I deliberately started a rumor that Jeong Song was dating her secretary.
What you just did will seem like that to anyone.
What did Setsuna’s father say?
“Please take good care of me, producer.”
“Yes, please tell me to take good care of you too.”
I think Setsuna’s escape syndrome will subside for the time being… ?
***
Tomoe stayed up all night watching music videos and live videos of Japanese and Korean idols.
Although there was no one worthy of such strong expressions as Choi Ae-ra, she still found an idol who could be her role model.
Tomoe holds up the smartphone that producer Im Boo-gil bought her.
I firmly touched [Producer Ishinami] Registered in the contact list.
The phone ringtone rang three times.
-Ah, Mr. Kojo. What’s going on?
“I have decided. “I would say he’s my favorite, my role model.”
-Really? Then I will come find you right away.
“Yes.”
I hung up the phone and looked at the full-length mirror in my room.
Hair stretched out in all directions like a magpie nest.
I headed to the shower room, grumbling that my hair wouldn’t last even 12 hours once I set it.
Is this how someone who succeeds in buying their own home feels?
I felt happy just by spraying water on my head from the shower.
After shampooing, I tried to squeeze the body wash into the shower bowl.
Ding dong—.
The doorbell rang loudly.
‘It looks like you’re already here.’
It takes a lot of time to get dressed, but it doesn’t matter since we’re all the same girls.
Thinking like that, Tomoe roughly wrapped a bath towel around her body.
And then I got out of the shower room and opened the front door.
“Uh… ….”
Tomoe’s body turned into ice.
There was a producer Hikari Ishinami.
The problem is that he came with producer Im Bu-gil next to him.
Tomoe has never even worn a swimsuit outside before.
I covered my important areas with a bath towel, but it was only a matter of time before my face turned red.
Not only that, she cannot judge the situation properly,
“aaah!!”
I screamed and tried to grab the vase placed on the shoe shelf and throw it.
“Producer, it’s dangerous!”
Secretary Jeong Song-i grabbed Producer Lim Boo-gil’s body and ducked into a corner.
Producer Hikari Ishinami quickly grabbed Tomoe’s wrist.
“Go in with me and get dressed, okay?”
Tomoe finally came to her senses and nodded her head.
She then went to the room with producer Hikari Ishinami.
“I should have told you in advance that the CEO would also be coming. Sorry.”
Producer Hikari Ishinami bowed her head and apologized.
Tomoe shook her head.
“No…. I went crazy for a moment…. But Lim Boo-gil, or rather CEO Lim, must have been angry… ?”
“The CEO will understand, but I will probably get scolded by the secretary…” . The secretary is a bit like a tiger…….”
I can’t believe I brought insult to my benefactor because of such a ridiculous mistake.
Tomoe felt sorry for herself.
She thought that since it happened because of her, she would at least take care of it herself.
Tomoe put on her loose clothes.
And she went straight to the pregnant producer Gil in the living room.
“CEO Lim, I am sorry.”
Tomoe kneels down and bows her head.
Producer Hikari Ishinami, who followed her, and Producer Im Bu-gil, who received her apology, also opened their eyes wide.
Now that she is not the daughter of a wealthy family, I don’t know how much her knees are worth, but
This was the only thing Tomoe could do now.
In any case, it was a mistake against producer Lim Boo-gil.
“It’s okay, so get up quickly. “We were a little careless with each other.”
If she had thrown a real vase, she would have been seriously hurt.
Tomoe’s sorry feelings doubled because he didn’t show even the slightest anger.
She is a really good person….
As Tomoe stood up, she noticed the look in the eyes of Secretary Jeong Song-i, who was behind Producer Im Bu-gil.
The day she shot, Tomoe flinched slightly at her gaze.
I immediately understood that producer Hikari Ishinami described her as ‘her tiger.’
If Producer Lim Boo-gil wasn’t here….
Producer Hikari Ishinami applauded lightly and said,
“So, Mr. Kojo, who did you choose as your role model?”
I quickly changed the topic.
She answered right away because it was the best for Tomoe.
“Producer Ishinami. “She was exactly 5 years ago when she was active as an idol.”
“Oh, right—. Yes?!”
It was the producer Hikari Ishinami who was about to pop out his eyes.
