Chapter 1394. School Festival Day 2 / Sweet Life

「 Uhm, Sugimura-san told me to participate in the school swimsuit wrestling 」

That producer just planned things on his own.

「 Yuki, you don’t have to 」

The manager hurriedly closed Saito-san’s mouth.

「 Sugimura-san told her about that, but I refused it. Our Saito-san won’t do that kind of work 」

The manager’s desperately trying to protect the idol she’s in charge of.

She’s not a bad person.

However.

「 No, I’ll do whatever it takes to get a sweet result! 」

Saito Yuki-san pushes down the hand covering her mouth and said.

「 I’ll wrestle in my school swimsuit or jump rope or anything, I’ll do whatever it takes 」

She says filled with spirit.

「 Don’t be ridiculous Yuki! 」

「 But, Linda-san, didn’t the president say this? If an idol can’t do sweet work, then they won’t sell 」

Saito-san told her manager with a smile.

「 I’ve only worked on TV one time. But that time, there were so many idols, that I wasn’t almost in the picture, and my grandma in Shimane didn’t even know which one was me. But, this time, my face will be on the screen, so thinking about it, it’s already sweet! That’s why I’ll do my best on anything 」

Err.

I’m starting to feel sorry for letting this girl go home too like Sugimura and the comedians.

But…

「 Uhm, you keep saying “sweet,” but what do you mean by that? 」

Margo had the same question that I have in mind, and she asked Saito-san.

「 Err, I think it just means what it is? 」

Saito Yuki-san replies with a blank face.

「 Ah, I’ll explain it to her 」

Erica comes forward.

「 Uhm, the term sweet, in this case; used in the entertainment industry, refers to a situation where a particular celebrity is given special attention in the broadcast, making their presence highly visible to the viewers! 」

「 I see. So you’re willing to embarrass yourself a bit just to make sure you stand out in the broadcast? 」

After hearing Erica’s explanation, Margo-san asks the idol girl again.

「 Yes, I’ll do anything 」

Saito Yuki-san’s determined.

「 So she says, what do you think, Yoshinobu-kun? 」

Margo-san turned to me.

「 You decide if you want this girl on-air today 」

Me?

「 No, uhm, it would be a problem if she doesn’t show up at least 」

The manager insisted to Margo-san.

「 T-That’s right, Linda-san and I will get scolded by the president if we don’t appear 」

No, the idol and her manager’s entertainment agency…

Will belong to our Black Forest starting tomorrow.

The current president would probably be dismissed.

I think they’ll go back to their parent company, Death Star Pro.

「 But you know, Sugimura-san didn’t get permission from me, the client, and told just told you to appear on the show 」

Margo-san said.

「 But, Fujimori-san’s the P of the station, and he officially asked me to appear, P’s authority in the production is absolute! 」

The manager desperately hangs on, but…

「 Maybe that’s true in the normal TV industry, but we’re not normal 」

「 If that’s the case, the company make a formal protest from the Death Star Pro’s side 」

「 You could, but Manager-san, do you know who we are and where we’re from? 」

「 T-That’s… 」

Margo-san lightly spills it and she started hesitating.

「 So, what do you think, Yoshinobu-kun? 」

Margo-san asks me to decide.

That’s because Margo-san knows that I’m going to the female talent department of the Death Star Pro tomorrow with Minaho-neesan.

「 Let’s see 」

I looked at the idol and her manager.

By the looks of it, these two don’t know that their agency will be detached from Death Star pro and become ours tomorrow.

That’s why they try to intimidate us by mentioning the name of Death Star Productions, a major player in the entertainment industry and has Yakuza backing them.

「 I think I want to study them a bit for tomorrow 」

I want to see a bit more of this idol and manager.

I’m going to run an entertainment agency down the road.

「 I see. Then, let’s have Saito-san appear. However, you’ll be an assistant just as assigned first. Someone else will host, are you okay with that? 」

「 Yes, I’ll do my best!! 」

Saito-san seems that she’ll do anything as long as she appears on TV.

「 Uhm, if that’s the case, who will be the host? 」

The manager asks Margo-san.

「 Oh, that’s… 」

Margo-san turned to me.

「 Hey, Yoshinobu-kun, can we get Nei to host the event? 」

Nei?

Nei’s helping out Katsuko-nee and Ai at the bakery.

「 Nei’s going to help me in my martial arts business in the US. However, she plans on just hiding behind the scenes 」

Behind the scenes?

「 That girl doesn’t plan on showing up. But… 」

Yeah.

「 Don’t you think that someone like Nei shines better in limelight? 」

That’s…

「 This is a good opportunity, so I want Nei to come forward 」

But…

Nei’s beauty is incredible.

She’s got a great body too, she’s like a work of art.

However.

I know.

Nei’s a girl who’s bright and cheerful, joking around.

But the truth is, she’s very much introverted, a docile girl.

Inside the personality, she calls Natou Nei, hides Najima Yasuko.

「 I want Nei to move forward. Nei’s changed since she changed her hair color to black here in school, right? It’s been over half a year since I graduated, but people in this school are still scared of me. But Nei… 」

Until the Golden Week, Nei and Margo-san were feared as the dreaded blonde delinquent duo.

That’s why the students fear Margo-san even in the school cafeteria just now.

「 But now, Nei’s loved in school. I think that’s because she had the courage to come out from hiding 」

Nei used to be a delinquent girl who didn’t even go to class, just watching what was going on in the school through the cameras.

Nei couldn’t interact with the students because of two crazy men, Cesario Viola and Shirasaka Sousuke.

But, the two crazy men no longer exist.

Nei turned her blonde hair back to black, and she’s helping in our bakery.

It hasn’t been a few months and yet…

She’s quite favored in the school now.

They all see her as an incredibly beautiful and fun girl who has a bright smile on her face.

「 Nei has the potential to be loved by a lot of people. She hasn’t used that talent of hers until now. And, she’ll be happier if people love her 」

Nei.

「 I promise that she won’t suffer anymore. I’m also her big sister 」

Margo-san says.

Margo-san’s been Nei-san’s elder sister even before I met them.

「 Nei will only walk the path of light. I’ll protect her 」

I…

「 Okay, please take care of her 」

I also want to see Nei loved by everyone.

「 Thanks, Yoshinobu-kun 」

Margo-san bows to me.

「 Stop that, we’re family 」

「 But still, Nei’s yours now so she can’t walk unless you back her up 」

「 But, I’m still holding her hand, I don’t plan on letting Ya-chan go. Not even if I die 」

「 I know, I get it. Even if everyone loves her, she’ll be yours. You’re the only one inside her heart after all 」

Margo-san’s smile is gentle.

Then.

「 I’ll contact Nei, she’ll swap with you as soon as you return there 」

Nei will continue helping out in the bakery until I return.

「 Make sure you send her off 」

Nei might not agree with Margo-san sending her to host the event.

So, I have to tell her.

「 Right, I should. 」

「 Then, as agreed, Saito Yuki will be the assistant, and I’ll introduce you to everyone else, come with us to the ring for a minute 」

Margo-san then told Saito-san and Manager-san.

「 Even assistants need to remember the names of the participants, and today’s show is a martial arts tournament. Forget about what Sugimura-san told you, especially the involvement of comedians 」

「 Y-Yes! I understand! I’ll do my best! I’ll do my best! 」

Saito Yuki-san’s motivated.

「 By the way, should I also put on a school swimsuit? 」

Err…

This girl thinks that it’s “sweet” to wrestle in her school swimsuit?

「 Yoshinobu-kun, what do you think? 」

Margo-san asks me with a wry smile.

I…

「 Come to the ring and see, if you think that it’s still sweet after seeing the girls competing, then maybe you should? 」

「 So you’re letting us decide? 」

The manager asks.

「 I think it would be sweeter if Saito-san puts on an idol outfit instead 」

That’s how I see it

◇ ◇ ◇

「 It went well it seems. Thanks, Margo, Darling, and Tsukiko 」

Going back to the ring, Edie’s already wearing her school swimsuit judo look.

In other words, school swimsuit, and the top of the Judo uniform and a sash.

It looks great on Edie’s well-proportioned body.

My Edie’s a blonde-haired blue-eyed, and brown-skinned fighting beauty.

「 They’re all working hard, unlike the Staff from earlier 」

Yeah, the people from the subcontractor company specializing in variety shows that Sugimura called over are gone, and the people from Burnham Woods Sports Video that Margo-san requested are getting ready for broadcast.

「 Edie, we’re having Nei host today’s broadcast, and this girl will be her assistant 」

Margo-san introduces Saito Yuki-san to Edie.

「 Oh, I see. Nei should be good. And so, you’re the assistant? I’m Edie from team Kuromori

「 G-Good morning! I’m Saito Yuki from Death Star Promotions M&M Section F! Please take care of me today 」

「 Pleased to meet you too 」

Then, there was a loud thump on the ring.

I see Line Haruko-san from the Golden Balm Gym practicing a defensive stance on the ring’s mat.

Of course, she’s also wearing school swimsuit judo.

Rodulfo Seiko-san, the leader of Golden Balm Gym, is a beauty, but Line Haruko-san’s got the elegance in her beauty.

She’s still in high school, so her body hasn’t reached the figure of a fighter yet, but that unfinished look is much more attractive.

「 Haruko, come 」

「 Okay 」

Line Haruko-san goes to the edge of the ring.

She looks at us across the rope.

「 This girl’s going to be the assistant host today 」

「 Pleased to meet you. I’m Midorigawa Haruko from the Golden Balm Gym 」

「 Good Morning! I’m Saito Yuki from Death Star Promotions M&M Section F! Please take care of me today 」

Saito-san bows to Line Haruko-san on the ring.

Then.

「 Hey, Edie, what’s this?! The mat’s too bouncy that I can’t even take a step 」

Michi’s sister, Kudou Haruka brings Kendou Maria.

「 We have no choice. This is a wrestling ring so the ring is springy 」

Edie said with a smile.

「 You can tell from looking, right? Boxing rings have four ropes, but wrestling rings have three ropes 」

「 That’s not what I’m talking about!!! The ring has such an unstable scaffold that it’s a disadvantage for my stance 」

「 Don’t worry about it, we’re having a school swimsuit judo tournament. We’re just playing around so you just have to enjoy it 」

Edie laughs off Kudou Haruka’s protests.

I mean.

「 Hey, what are you looking at? 」

Kudou Haruka noticed my gaze.

「 Well, I just thought that you’re wearing it too 」

Kudou Haruka’s also wearing a swimsuit + judo uniform.

She’s hot-tempered, and she’s not that smart, but she’s Michi’s sister, so she has the looks.

As a high-school karate champion, she’s featured in media multiple times, and it’s not just because of her karate performance, but also her good looks.

「 O-Of course, I don’t want it, but I made my resolve 」

She recognized Margo-san and Edie’s abilities and decided to go with them to the US.

So, she’s willing to accept something a bit ridiculous.

「 Good Morning! I’ll be the assistant host today! I’m Saito Yuki, coming from the Death Star Productions M&M Section F! Pleased to meet you! 」

Saito-san bows her head to Kudou Haruka.

「 I see. I’m Kudou Haruka from Team Kuromori. I do Karate. Maria, introduce yourself 」

「 Team Kuromori, Kendou Maria, hey! 」

Of course, Kendou Maria, formerly Tendou Otome, is also wearing a swimsuit and judo uniform.

She also has good looks.

「 Anyway, can we do something about the ring? 」

Kudou Haruka presses Edie once again.

「 Nothing, we’re going with this today 」

Edie smiled it off.

「 Haruka and Maria should train in other mats too, you don’t know what kind of ring you’ll be in once we’re in America 」

「 That’s… 」

「 So, you should experience this kind of ring while you still can 」

Then.

「 I’m accustomed to this ring 」

Onoe Jun, also known as Grace Marinka also shows up wearing the same outfit.

「 The mat is soft so you’re less likely to get injured 」

When she was a female wrestler, she’s skilled, but she’s famous for being young and beautiful

She’s got a well-trained body that can be described as beautiful, and she has a lovely face too.

「 Let’s introduce you, she’s currently independent 」

「 Onoe Jun 」

「 G-Good Morning! I’m Saito Yuki from Death Star Promotions M&M Section F! Please take care of me today 」

「 Likewise 」

Grace Marinka also gave Saito-san a light greeting.

「 So, do you still want to try out the school swimsuit along with these girls, Saito-san? 」

Margo-san asks with a smile.

「 N-No, uhm, I’ll pass 」

Saito Yuki-san replied.

「 T-They’re all so attractive that I-I don’t think putting on a swimsuit would be sweet 」

「 R-Right, Yuki’s proportions lose to the martial artists 」

The manager, Fujimori-san also admits defeat.

「 I think the glamour girls in our office might be able to compete but Yuki, your breasts can’t compete 」

「 Even in the waist, everyone else is much tighter! 」

Saito-san shouts like she’s crying.

「 We also have someone with an adult charm 」

Edie said.

Coming from inside the temporary tent used as changing room for the participants…

「 What do you think, Haruko? Can you check it? 」

Rodulfo Seiko-san appears.

She’s wearing the same outfit.

I heard that she said that “If it’s on-air, then I’ll compete,” but…

She actually put it on.

If I recall, she’s in her twenties.

She’s also beautiful and famous as a martial artist, but…

「 I feel like the size is good enough 」

Line Haruko said with a straight look, but…

「 That’s not it, you’re my apprentice so you should answer “It suits you,” or even “I thought you’re still in high school” 」

「 I’m not a sensible disciple 」

I guess she doesn’t want her master to appear wearing that swimsuit and judo uniform on top as a disciple of hers.

「 Aaaah! Rodulfo Seiko, you’re really trying to get on TV 」

Turning around, I see Monkey Mimi, real name Hagiwara Misako-san, from Tommy Ashida Dojo running from the school gate.

「 I got a mail from Edie-chan so I rushed over, but damn!! Poron-san! Poron-san, hurry up and take a look! She’s wearing a school swimsuit! It doesn’t suit her age! 」

Then, from behind Monkey Mimi-san is Daiporon Karisman, a half-German coming from the same dojo comes at her slow pace.

「 Oh? Rodulfo-san, what happened to you? You’re wearing quite a weird clothing 」

She smiles at Rodulfo-san with her fake Kyoto dialect.

「 Say whatever you want!! But, this martial arts tournament will be on TV, on Sunday, and it’s in the afternoon! The time has come! If you don’t want to ride this wave, then you won’t be in this great story 」

Rodulfo Seiko-san said.

「 Goddammit!! Hey! Edie-chan! I’m going too! You hear?! 」

Monkey Mimi-san shouts at Edie.

「 Get me a school swimsuit and judo uniform too! 」

Eeeh? Mimi-san and Poron-san’s participating too?

「 Oh my, Poron-san. Are you sure? It’s a school swimsuit you know 」

Rodulfo-san, who’s already wearing her school uniform told Poron-san with her arms folded.

「 Me aside, whose skin is still glossy, I think it would be hard for someone at Poron-san’s age to put it on. It was last century when Poron-san put on her school uniform last, right? If I recall, it was during the Showa era 」

No, I don’t think their age differ that much.

「 I don’t mind it at all 」

Poron-san replies with a composed attitude.

「 I don’t mind it at all!!!! I’ll put on a school swimsuit or whatever as long as I can appear on TV!!! 」

Poron-san’s also participating.
