Volume 6 - CH 24

Touno Tatsuyuki entrusts

Later, I had a chance to meet Tatsuyuki-san so I asked him about StarCha.

Like, is he actually Rine friend with her? This man truly has so many mysteries.

.

.

“StarChild? Ahh, the idol my sister scouted huh.”

“Eh? That Gyaru Master?”

“……. I can’t keep a straight face when someone calls my sister Gyaru Master right to my face so can you not.”

.

.

He looked like he was barely holding himself from bursting out into laughter as he said that.

Because of that, he looked like he had a cramped smile on his face right now.

.

.

“My little sister is LeafChild, the idol who inspired her debut name you see.”

“L, LeafChild!”

.

.

That’s the name of a solo idol/singer who’s said to be known by everyone in Japan.

Naturally, as the name suggests, the name StarChild is kind of a way to pay homage to her.

.

.

LeafChild’s beauty is considered something legendary among her fans.

I heard that it took only a few seconds after tickets for her concert to be completely sold out once they put them up for sale.

.

.

“S, She’s one of your 5 sisters?”

“Yep. She’s my one true sister.”

“Nn? Ha?……eh?”

.

.

Tatsuyuki-san sits still without changing his expression.

I don’t think he’s joking.

.

.

“You see, my family circumstances are pretty complicated. Gyaru Master is actually my cousin and my triplet younger sisters are not related to me by blood either.”

“………….”

.

.

I can see that his family is a mess.

Still, this is the person who said so proudly that those sisters who are not related to him by blood are more important to him than his life. I think that’s cool and worthy of respect.

.

.

“Come to think of it, she did message me on Rine back on Sunday night. [I went to see Akechi-kun], she said. Haha, it seems she’s pretty driven huh.”

“I’m only a fan of hers though. Why did you push her to visit me?”

“I didn’t push her or anything. I just gave her a small nudge. She was the one who took the initiative you know.”

.

.

His way of thinking is kind of similar to mine.

.

.

Tatsuyuki-san took out his smartphone and fiddled with it.

What’s he doing I wonder?

After a few seconds, he was done.

.

.

“She said she wants to see you again.”

“Ha? You’re joking…….”

“No, Really. [I want to see Akechi-kun again, what should I do?] she said, here.”

.

.

While covering a part of the screen to hide his private messages, he showed me his conversation with StarChild on Rine.

His reply to her was [Then just go meet him then] followed by a strange sticker.

.

.

“Seriously……”

.

.

StarCha contacted Tatsuyuki-san saying that she wanted to meet me.

The thought that this is the real StarChild is making me blush.

.

.

“See. Well, we can rent out that coffee shop where we first met and I’ll bring her there. Don’t worry, I’m paying. Is next Sunday fine with you? I’m sure that she will be free on that day.”

“A, Are we really doing this……?”

“I couldn’t care less if a man asked me for a favor but if it’s a girl then I will do anything in my power to answer her expectations. Also, you must have some friends that went unfair this unfair that when you told them you met her right?”

“………yes.”

.

.

Risa and Nodoka were exactly like that…….

I was scolded since I invited her brother but not herself.

I called him thinking that StarCha wouldn’t really come though…….

.

.

“Haha, middle schoolers are full of energy huh. It’s fine to invite your friends……..but.”

“But?”

“You can only invite the people you truly trust alright.”

“Eh?”

“She’s an idol after all. If you invite someone who might expose her on social media then I’m going to go on a murder rampage okay?”

“Ha, Haha……..”

“I’ll leave the renting talk to you okay? That place always has so few customers. Even Master would be happy if we rented the whole place. It’s a shame isn’t it, his coffee is so good after all.”

“When you put it like that……..”

.

.

Coming from someone who’s fully capable of going on a murder rampage, he sounds extremely convincing.

My Gift doesn’t work on him even though he doesn’t have [Anti-Gift] after all……

Anyway, Risa and the others wouldn’t do something like that so they would be a safe choice.

.

.

And I can meet StarChild again.

Knowing that, I think I will be able to get through this week’s boring classes.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

“Her [Feelings] can not be responded by me or my sister……….Hideyori, that girl can not move forward if you do not accept her.”

“…….what do you mean?”

“It’s a secret of the fake idol you see.”

.

.

Said Tatsuyuki-san while he was looking at me with his eyes filled with expectations.

I am completely clueless here but I decided to accept his [feelings].
