Chapter 161 – Favorite Child (1)
【Favorite Child】
〈 Kaguya Wants to Be Confessed This is a work created by Aka Akasaka, the author of 〉, and Yokoyari Mengo, the author of 〈 Trash’s Desires 〉, in charge of the illustration.
If you look at the title or the progress of the beginning, it gives off an atmosphere like a gag featuring idols.
However, it is only in the beginning of the play, and after a certain quarter, the genre completely changes to a picaresque revenge play based on the entertainment industry as a whole.
It’s not a completely dark atmosphere, though.
“It is a very interesting piece.”
Seojun recalled with a smile.
The reason I first encountered 〈 Favorite Child 〉 was because of Kaguya.
As an avid reader of 〈 Kaguya 〉, I couldn’t pass it up because a collaboration and new work suddenly came out while I was serializing Kaguya.
‘So let’s see how good he is,’ I read.’
To be honest, I really enjoyed it.
In addition, Kaguya also did not lose form while simultaneously publishing a new work.
… Except for the quick ending.
‘Annie is the real country.’
Anyway, thanks to the popularity of My Favorite Child, it was successfully animated.
Because the quality was so crazy, Seojun bought all the Blu-rays and put them in the cabinet.
That’s how much Seo-joon liked the work.
However, it wasn’t that there was no part that was regrettable from the perspective of the fans.
“To kill that precious character.”
Child Hoshino.
A character whose role is to motivate and kill the main character brother and sister in the beginning.
If you look at it this way, it’s just an ordinary supporting role, but the impact the character left was not ordinary.
As well as the character, it was regrettable when he died because his own charm was so outstanding.
“But not this time.”
Marira personally intervenes and lets them enjoy a happy sugar life.
As an aside, there is a cartoon called 〈 Act-age 〉 in a similar genre called entertainment actors… This work has excellent drawing style and story, but it is a work of misfortune in which the story writer was forced to ride a bicycle from behind a middle school girl who was walking down the street and touched her breasts.
Seo-joon, who liked this work, was extremely angry and later visited the story writer and provided a service to make him sexually impotent.
It is also true for humanity.
“Hmm. What will we do this time?”
My favorite child has no particular settings to change.
… ‘, She thought, and just now a good idea occurred to her.
He immediately purchased and applied the right to change the setting.
However, there are still many things that need to be taken care of in order to enjoy this work properly.
It’s shopping time after a long time.

Still, he did not stop buying and continued.

Purchased all entertainment-related features.
“… Hmm.”
He touched his chin for a moment.
What if we synthesize these?
I can’t stand the question
He turned the synthesis right away.
Then came the characteristic.
“God of Entertainment”

“Ex?”
Characteristics of the same level as his own life have appeared.
That fact alone made me realize at once how great the traits I had acquired were.
Seojun drew a satisfied smile.
At least this one characteristic would be enough to enjoy the work of a favorite child.
Furthermore,
‘I’ll be able to enjoy it enough in other works.’
Singing, dancing, acting, directing, broadcasting.
The works related to these were by no means few.
「Idol@Master Series」
「Love Live Series」
「Bang Dream」
「Botch the Rock」
「Zombieland Saga」
「Wake Up, Girls!」
“Pripara”… Is not a bit, anyway.
There is nothing to lose by preparing for the future in advance.
In addition, there were many places to use acting, singing, and dancing even if they were not works of that genre.
“It was good.”
With this, all preparations are complete.
He chose his favorite child as the work to enter this time.
After Avatar did it with his body as always, he also chose a time zone.
[Would you like to enter?]
“Okay.”
[Start entry now.]
Vision has changed.
***
As the author of Kaguya’s favorite child wrote the story, she shared the same world view as 〈 Kaguya and 〉.
The point of view is in the future rather than Kaguya’s main story.
However, sharing the universe is only described as fan service and homage elements, and since this work is not an official follow-up to Kaguya-sama, no story-related elements appear.
‘That’s why I made it a completely separate world view.’
There is an episode where Kaguya appears as a photographer in My Favorite Child.
At that time, her name was ‘Shirogane Kaguya’.
That is, she is married to Miyuki Shirogane.
‘I’m in the middle of the raid, but I run into Kaguya, who married Miyuki, in a place like this? This is a completely similar NTR feeling, right?’
For that reason, Seo-joon took measures to prevent characters related to Kaguya from appearing in My Favorite Child.
You can enjoy yourself with this.
“We have arrived, Bocchan.”
“Great job.”
Seojun got off the Ramujin.
He took advantage of the fact that he had the same worldview as Kaguya, and brought the setting of the “Shinhwa Group” That Kaguya used.
To be honest, there has to be something underneath to remove the restrictions.
However, there was something different about Kaguya.
That is, Shinhwa Group has entered the entertainment business as well.
Overwhelming capital power and influence.
Thanks to them, Shinhwa Entertainment was able to grow rapidly and take its place as a worldwide company with outstanding celebrities in each field knocking on its doors.
‘This is almost a corporate state.’
The market capitalization alone was twice as large as the annual budget of the United States.
Influence, military force, and capital power were all regarded as one nation.
“Is it here?”
Seojun looked at the building.
It wasn’t a very clean building, but it had its own assortment.
As Seo-jun headed toward the building, an attendant soon followed.
It was an escort.
To be honest, I didn’t need it, but in the current situation, it was better than not having it.
“Oh, you are here! Welcome!”
When Seo-jun entered, a middle-aged man came running to greet him.
He was the director of this facility.
“Nice to meet you.”
“What happened to the children of Shinhwa Group in such an insignificant facility?”
“Do I have to tell you?”
“Oh no! I am okay! Rather, I will guide you…”
“It’s okay. I will look for it myself.”
“Oh, you do!”
The director fell into a servile attitude.
Afterwards, Seo-joon walked inside the facility accompanied by an attendant.
Many eyes were fixed on him.
Eyes filled with all kinds of emotions.
Ignoring them all, Seo-joon proceeded as his senses led him.
And was able to find
Corner of the facility.
A girl radiating a dark aura while hugging his knees.
She didn’t react until Seo-joon approached her.
“It’s been a while, child.”
“… ?”
The face of the slow-moving girl, Ai Hoshino.
Soon after, her pupils widened when she saw Seo-jun’s face.
At the same time, the stars in her eyes shone.
“… June?”
Astonishment, bewilderment, doubt.
Numerous emotions change rapidly in an instant, and the starlight eyes emit colorful light.
However, it was soon fixed with one emotion and emitted a brilliant light.
Pleasure.
Sensing this, Seojun smiled brightly.
“I came to pick you up as promised.”
He reached out
As if possessed, the child took her hand.
It felt like a rope of salvation.
In that way, Ai Hoshino was reunited with Seo-joon, the childhood friend she missed.
