Chapter 107 – 107. Ah! My Sponsor!
◈
Anastasia Granoff wanted to beat Aika no matter what.
At least Aika did well, Anastasia couldn’t stand to see.
Having that kind of mind was a kind of stubbornness that we had built up one after another after we broke up due to a difference in direction when we were once in the same group.
Yesterday, when Aika first spoke to Roovelt and sparred.
Anastasia was furious.
Even for Anastasia, Rouvelt was a precious sponsor who made her new idol life unfold.
She is seen fighting Aika and, moreover, is a person with enough influence to even contact her bosses to stop them.
Anastasia, like Aika, was anxious and pondered. Why don’t you get closer and not tremble with anxiety? She used to think
And the moment she tried to catch up with all that, she ran ahead of Aika.
So Anastasia thought.
‘I have to go bolder than Aika!’
Something more daring than Aika’s one sparring request.
A way to have a longer conversation with Rouvelt and get to know him better.
The means Anastasia chose was counseling.
‘We can spend more time together rather than fooling around like Aika!’
Anastasia, who made a plan, took advantage of Aika’s confrontation with the monster to talk to Rouvelt.
“What do you want to discuss?”
“Yes, I think Mr. Roovelt knows this well…”
Slightly slurred, Anastasia gave off an air of serious concern.
“Okay. As long as I can be of help. Then after school… Well, where should we do it?”
“…!”
As she successfully obtained Rouvelt’s consent, Anastasia’s eyes lit up as she sang joy in her heart.
“Oh, there’s a cafe I know! Please do it there!”
“Then let’s go together after class.”
“Yes! Thank you, Mr. Roovelt!”
“What. We should help the same cadets.”
“Ah…!”
‘As expected, he’s kind!’
When she stopped a fight between herself and Aika, she was furious for a moment, but later, when she thought about it calmly, there was nothing wrong with Roovelt’s actions.
The objectively right thing to do and, above all, his status as a god-like sponsor in the entertainment world, in Anastasia’s mind, Rouvelt’s status rose endlessly.
After school.
“Then let’s go, Granoff.”
“Yes, Mr. Roovelt!”
“What?”
Seeing Louvelt step forward and invite Anastasia to accompany her, Aika opened her mouth and put on a face of disbelief, as if she had seen something in disbelief.
Anastasia was very happy with Aika’s face.
◈
After the monster eradication practice was over, in the presence of Sihun and other members, Anastasia naturally confided that she had a problem and came to consult.
Ellie took it for granted, and accepted it in a way that classmates like Kagura and Yumedo consulted with me, who had excellent skills.
However, Chisaki smiled and said yes and nodded his head.
They probably think I accepted it to flirt with women.
It’s for the purpose of attack, so that’s not correct.
When I spoke to Anastasia, I didn’t miss Aika’s expression, who was sitting right next to her.
It was similar to the expression Sihun made when Yume asked me out on a date.
Seeing the astonished expression that was nothing short of a gag, I barely held back what I almost let out without even realizing it.
The cafe Anastasia had mentioned was not too far away, so I put Rize in the limousine first, sent her back to the mansion, and Anastasia and I walked towards the cafe together.
Note that.
“…”
Aika was sneaking behind us.
Anastasia didn’t notice, and only I knew, but I didn’t reveal it to Anastasia.
Because this side will be smooth for the two to capture, and above all… Because it’s fun.
“I’ll be there soon, Granov.”
“Yes?! Yes! That’s right. We’ll get to the cafe soon!”
Anastasia While I was walking, she was too nervous to talk to me.
It was probably good to talk, but it seemed that he hadn’t decided what to say on the way.
But she hurriedly spoke to me, probably thinking that Anastasia shouldn’t stay like this until she arrives.
“Lou, Mr. Roovelt!”
“Why?”
“If you don’t mind, call me by name too! I’m more used to that way!”
“Ah, it’s definitely an idol, so you’re more used to it that way. Okay, Anastasia.”
“Yes!”
With a big smile, I saw Anastasia secretly hiding her left fist behind her and squeezing her tightly.
He seems quite happy that I called him by his first name.
I liked this smile.
It’s because I’m not actively attacking, but the situation where the other person likes me and tries to like me gives me a sweet sense of superiority.
The status, reputation, and abilities that have been accumulated so far are making even the most popular idols think about getting closer.
Also, the heroine of BLBL that I liked.
Every time I tasted this, it felt really good.
“By the way, Anastasia, are you okay? Don’t you have a schedule?”
“Ah! It’s okay! After entering the academy, I have to do hunter activities, so I finished adjusting my schedule.”
“I see. You still don’t quit being an idol, right?”
“Yes, idols are my… Main job. I will do it until the end. Ah, that doesn’t mean I hate Hunters!”
“Yeah, that’s right. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even go to the academy.”
He said to Anastasia with a refreshing smile.
“Anastasia is amazing. Idols and hunters both work hard.”
“Ah… Go, thank you!”
“Eugh…!”
From the hearing that had been strengthened in advance, I heard the sound of the tailing Aika grinding her teeth.
After all, the two people who were once in the same group had the same habit of disassembling.
I went into a cafe and ordered a moderate drink.
Aika, who came in later than us, sat in the back seat of Anastasia, wearing a Burberry coat and sunglasses.
While she was waiting for her drink, she asked Anastasia.
“So what do you want to discuss?”
“That….”
What Anastasia wanted to consult with me was roughly this.
She still wants to enter the academy and work as both an idol and a hunter.
However, as I went to the academy and entered the dungeon, I felt how dangerous and full of difficulties Hunter was.
Even so, Anastasia did not want to give up.
She said that she still wanted to succeed as an idol and as a hunter.
So.
“Rouvelt-sama. What should I do to become strong like Roovelt-sama?”
It was that I wanted to know the secret of strength to me, who was strong enough to defeat Stranger alone.
Why it seems plausible on the surface.
But I could see that this was sensibly made for today’s consultation.
Because Anastasia’s grades aren’t bad.
I can’t keep track of all of the blockbuster heroines in real time, but at least Aikawa and Anastasia, who are in my class, always have my eyes on them.
Even during sparring and practicing monster killing, Anastasia didn’t show any flinching or hesitation at all.
There it is
“I’m shaking my head… The last time I went to the dungeon, I was excited to shoot a monster…”
It was clear to hear Aika’s voice muttering quietly behind Anastasia through her enhanced hearing.
It is true that you want to become stronger, but you are not in an urgent situation like you told me.
Of course, I have no intention of revealing that or asking them not to lie.
The reason for such a lie is because it is working well for me.
First of all, as if thinking about it, I opened my mouth, rubbing her chin with my thumb.
“It’s about getting stronger… I can’t answer this too quickly, Anastasia. Everyone has something that suits their aptitude and there’s a way to become stronger. But…”
“However?”
“I can use several weapons. Among them, there is also a pistol like Anastasia, so it might be of some help to you.”
“So! Are you saying you want to help!”
“Yeah. Since we’re in the same class, we should help each other.”
“Ah! Thank you, Mr. Roovelt!”
“As for how to help. I also need to know Anastasia’s fighting methods in detail… Yeah. How about making a party the next time we go to the dungeon?”
“Okay! Then, for the next dungeon…”
“Please include Aika too!”
“What?!”
As Anastasia nodded in delight, Aika appeared in front of us, wearing a Burberry coat and sunglasses off.
“Ah, Aika!? Since when did you…!”
Towards Anastasia, who looked at her Aika in bewilderment, Aika raised the corner of her mouth and said.
“By accident! I heard about it! More than that… It’s the first time I’ve heard that Anastasia has such troubles~”
“Ugh…”
“Actually, after sparring with Aikado Rouvelt-sama, I desperately felt that my skills were falling behind! Rouvelt-sama! I want Aika to be in the same party in the next dungeon! Please… I want to be helped like Anastasia! Can’t I?”
“Hey! Aika, why do you want to…!”
Anastasia takes her last breath when Aika tries to lay her spoon on her own plan.
My answer, of course.
“Okay. Then Aika, let’s have the same party next time.”
I accepted Aika’s opinion because I could attack two people at the same time.
“Hurray!”
“What!? Lou, Mr. Roovelt!”
“This is a rare opportunity. Besides… I’m happy to be at the same party with the two people I recommended. Wouldn’t it be better?”
“…Ugh! Ah, no. It’s okay… Okay.”
Hehe, please take care of me, Anastasia~.”
“Oops!”
“Oh no, Aika.”
“Yes! What are you doing with Aika, Mr. Roobelt!”
“Since we’re in the same party, I’ll expect a good formation with Anastasia.”
“…Yes?”
“Weren’t you two in the same group? You must be able to breathe well, right?”
“Uh. That’s…”
“To be honest, I’ve liked them since they were in a singer-idol group. So I recommended it.”
Aikawa and Anastasia were surprised at the same time with expressions that seemed like they hadn’t even thought of it.
“Yes!?”
“I-really?”
“Yeah. Oh, it would be a bit disrespectful to say that it’s the cost of helping out… Next time the two of you were in the same group, could you sing me a song? I really want to hear it live.”
Anastasia and Aika broke out in a cold sweat and tried to smile somehow.
“Are you fine?”
“Mu, of course! I can do that much with Mr. Rouvelt’s help! That’s right! Ah, Aika!”
“Of course! Aika never forgets a song she sings once!”
“Thank you. As a fan of the two of them… I’m really happy. Oh, is there any dessert you’d like to drink or eat more of? I’ll try it.”
“No, no, it’s fine! I can’t waste Mr. Roovelt’s time any more!”
“Aika also stopped by by chance, so I have to go soon!”
“Really? It’s a pity. Then next time I get a chance, I’ll shoot.”
“Yes! Thanks for the advice, Mr. Roovelt!”
“Thank you Aika too!”
The two hurriedly left the cafe.
The corners of my mouth naturally went up as I felt like I was watching the two people who were talking rambles on Black Block.
“The drink you ordered is here.”
The waiter brought mine and a drink ordered by Anastasia, who hurriedly left.
“Ah, thank you.”
I even enjoyed the drink that Anastasia had ordered.
