Jikuu Mahou chapter 366: Audition

In the waiting room, a lot of girls and their guardians crowded. Wow, are they all participating?

A person who is mentally focused. A person who is practicing vocalization. A person who is practicing its dance. A person who is redoing her makeup. Everyone is serious.

「Emm, you are Megumi Yachiyo, aren't you?」

Hmm? One of the contestants noticed Megumi and cried out.

「Yes, I am!」

Megumi turns back with a business smile. Even though her opponent is a rival, it is a place you don't know who is watching, so Megumi can't be distracted.

「I saw you on another site before and wanted to be your friend」

「It is I who should say so. Please treat me well」

They smile and shake hands.

Their smiles are perfect. Even as I see it, they only look like good friends.

「Ah, that's right! I have some good candy for my throat, do you want one too?」

The female rival gives Megumi a bright red candy....

「Thank you!」

Megumi receives that "red candy".

However!

「Rather, I′m sorry」

I quickly took away that "Red candy" that was on Megumi-chan's palm from the side quickly.

「「Eh?」」

The rival girl and Megumi-chan made surprised eyes on my sudden action.

And I throw that candy into my mouth.

「Ah～、Hey hey! I just wanted to lick that candy～. Thanks!」

I smiled nicely while wearing a calm expression.

「Maruya...... Manager-san, you can't take it without permission~」

Megumi had a tight smile on her face.

And, the female rival had a face that couldn't hide her surprise.

「Sorry, sorry. Hilda, give them two candies that you brought instead」

「Yes!」

Hilda handed her "Hilda candy" to the two of them.

「Mou, it can't be helped～」

Megumi puts the received candy in her mouth.

The rival girl stared at "Hilda candy" on her hand for a while,

「It is delicious」

Megumi said so, and the female rival fearfully put it in her mouth.

「Ah! Sweet!」

「Right. Hilda′s candy is very delicious」

「Th, Thank you......」

For a while, the two of them had a conversation without disruption, but the female rival went away saying she still needed to prepare.

「Hey Maruyama! What was that about a while ago!」

Megumi came up to me after the female rival left.

「Sorry sorry, I wanted to suddenly eat that candy」

「You′re an idiot!」

I endured a sore throat...... while being abused by Megumi-chan.

Yes, the "red candy" that the female rival presented was a "super spicy candy".

It's not a bitter commotion. My throat is hurting as if I'm dying.

While having a painful throat, I apply [Recovery magic] on my own and monitor the appearance of the female rival just a while with [Tracking beacon].

Apparently, that girl is not giving away that candy indiscriminately.

She knew Megumi′s name, did she possibly target Megumi-chan?

At that time, I was able to point out that the candy had been worked on. But I dared not to do that.

The reason for that is......,

Even if there is a non-rival, if Megumi-chan's audition will be troubled if the competitors are in trouble, then Megumi's audition may be affected.

The opponent handed over the candy to Megumi until she exposed her true face. So that girl was confident that she could make it through.

So, I took the candy and licked it, I could have said "I realize that someone manipulated this candy~" or "Megumi-chan I will protect you~".

Really, the idol industry is a scary place~.

If I don't guard Megumi-chan properly, it would be hard to throw stones.

-----

After that, the audition was proceeding smoothly.

Participants are invoked in order, go up to the stage and showcase their performances.

Because there are many people, each person's performing time is short.

Since we cannot see the stage from the waiting room where we are, we cannot observe what the other girls are doing.

「Next, 334, Megumi Yachiyo」

「Yes!」

Megumi was called and went out to the stage.

Perhaps they are singing and dancing in front of the judges.

Go for it, Megumi!

A few minutes later, Megumi came back with a rough breath.

「How was it?」

「Who do you think I am? It's a perfect performance!」

Well, she was practicing with Hilda for a long time, so this may be a piece of cake.

-----

Apparently, it seems that today was the qualifiers.

Megumi is happy to break through the preliminary contest and tomorrow's final selection.

「Now, that I will continue tomorrow, let's go home now! Please take my luggage」

「Yes Yes」

I take the huge luggage and chase Megumi-chan with a smiley smile.

After a while, there wasn't any strange interference, so I was relieved to be able to finish safely.

-----

On the way back of the audition.

Somewhat, the situation is getting dark.

Walking towards the station...... a security guy who appeared suddenly stopped us.

The road work suddenly started, and we were induced to go through another road.

As we proceed as instructed by the security guard...... we gradually went to a dark road behind the alley.

Suspicious.

When checking on the map, a lot of yellow spots are displayed ahead of that road....

「Megumi-chan, this road is dim and dangerous, let's go back and take another way」

「Is Maruyama scared of a dark road? Don't be stupid and come quickly」

No, she doesn't listen to me at all.

「Hey, little girl. Why don't you accompany us a bit」

We were surrounded by delinquent-looking youngsters suddenly.

Well, it was a complete scheme.
