Jikuu Mahou chapter 368: TrueColle
After sending Megumi-chan back to her house, I went home with Hilda using [Teleportation], and I confirmed the appearance of the delinquent boy with [Tracking beacon].
After a while, he woke up and saw his hand move properly and was relieved.
However, he remembered that he failed and had a pale face as he started calling someone.
He seems to be contacting the mastermind apparently.
『Hello, it's me. I′m sorry, but I failed......』
The boy contacted the mastermind, and I found out his phone number. However, I don't know if he is alone.
I tried to find the phone number on the internet, but I found nothing.
Umm, I wish I had the magic to be able to trace the phone call.
By the telephone conversation, I found out that the mastermind made arrangements in various ways. The boy seems to have agreed to what was said on the condition of doing to the executive of an unknown organization.
The talk to the executive was ruined by this failure, and the boy dropped his shoulders with disappointment. At this moment, the mastermind must also use another person to intervene.
I should be careful.
However, I don't see what the purpose is at all.
----------
The next day, Hilda and I continued to come to Megumi's house like yesterday.
「Maruyama, you′re late!」
When we arrived, Megumi and the president greeted us.
She seems to be very enthusiastic.
「Maruyama-kun, I hear you helped Megumi-chan not to get entangled with a drunken man yesterday. Thank you, I really appreciate it」
「Mou! Grandpa, it's fine, you don't have to bow to Maruyama!」
The president has a slightly troubled face.
「Well then, Maruyama-kun, I'm counting on you again today」
The president said so gently.
「Yes, I got it」
I also bow deeply according to it.
「Ma, Maruyama. Let's go!」
Megumi-chan was satisfied with the conversation between me and the president and smiles as she starts walking.
The president was sending me a 『Sorry』 sign when Megumi-chan didn't see it.
He's really sweet to his grandchild.
I once again ran after Megumi-chan with the huge luggage.
-----
「By the way, Megumi-chan. What kind of audition are you participating in?」
「Maruyama...... you, you weren't aware of it as my assistant?」
Megumi is a little shocked.
「No, I never heard of that before~I think」
「Mou, it can't be helped. I will tell you!」
According to Megumi-chan's explanation, this time, it's an audition for a voice actor of a game.
[EN: Then why were people practicing dancing in chapter 366? Are there different roles available on the audition?]
The name of the game is 『Trump collection』、aka 『TrueColle』.
52 people appeared in the game as [Trump girls], known as the voice actor in charge of 『Toramusu』, he or she is supposed to debut as an idol as it is.
50 out of 52 people have already been decided to be in charge of the idols of the major performing arts productions, and two people are selected by auditions. This audition is only as large as this is because of the major performing arts productions involved.
-----
Arriving at the venue, the final selection of the audition began.
The number of people has decreased a lot since yesterday, and about 20 girls are in the waiting room.
And the whole room is tingling. I am not good with this kind of atmosphere~.
「Ah, emm, Megumi-san. Thank you for yesterday......」
Ah, the 『Red candy』 girl came again.
The girl seemed to be alarmed, as she glances at me her smile is a little awkward.
Did she come here to do something again? In order to protect Megumi-chan, I approached their side.
「I′m sorry for taking the candy yesterday~」
「N, No......」
As I spoke to her suddenly, the girl raised her alert level obviously.
Megumi-chan seems to have noticed it, and she has a bad face.
「Maruya...... Manager, emm...... my throat is dry~. Would you buy me an orange juice?」
Megumi calls me "Manager" in front of people.
It can be understood as a bad impression if this is seen, when the adult man is the one called away.
Megumi-chan suddenly says 『Buy me an orange juice』. Perhaps, because I'm disturbing her, she might want me to go somewhere.
Megumi-chan doesn't know that it's dangerous for her.
However, I can't go buy the juice because I have to protect Megumi-chan.
Swish.
「Yes, orange juice」
I took 2 bottles of orange juice out quickly from 【Inventory】 and handed it over to Megumi and the dangerous girl.
「Eh?」
However, Megumi-chan was surprised when I handed over the orange juice so suddenly.......
「Eh!? N, Now, the juice, suddenly......, h, how?」
The dangerous girl was more surprised.
「Ahaha, Maruya...... Manager-san is always prepared for anything. I was also surprised at the beginning, but I already got used to it」
「Ha, Haa」
「Here, for you」
The dangerous girl advanced to Megumi-chan, and the juice is put to her mouth reluctantly.
「Oh, it's delicious, thank you very much」
The dangerous girl drinks a bit of the juice, smiles to me and says thank you.
Well, that doesn't mean I will be forgiven, right?
「I′m sorry for taking that 『Candy』 without permission yesterday, but that candy was very delicious, where did you buy it?」
「......」
The dangerous girl is suddenly shaken by the story of 『Candy』 and is upset.
「Or that candy...... did you got it from someone?」
「N, No...... th, that......」
She is clearly upset. From this reaction, the candy probably was handed down by that mastermind.
The dangerous girl ceased the conversation with Megumi-chan and left.
Following her with the "Tracking Beacon", she rushed to the restroom in a hurry and threw the orange juice away in the sink.
She is a suspicious girl. Besides, don't waste food and drinks!
Well, but that girl already drunk it...... didn't she?
Actually, that juice contains "some medicine", now she is.......
My goodness, of course not!
