CH 243

We turned around and called out Helena’s name in unison, and there she was, just as we had seen her before, winking and smiling. Next to her lined up a cool-looking woman in a suit with slitted eyes. Is she some kind of manager? Despite my thoughts, Helena ran up to us and hugged Makina.

“I haven’t seen you since graduation! I mean, you’re finally here.”

“Long time no see, Helena! I’m glad to see you’re doing well, We’ve been going through some stuff and we started living here a while ago.”

“A lot of stuff ……?”

“I’ll take it from there. Long time no see, Helena.”

“Good to see you too Lars ♪.”

I high-fived Helena and explained that I had been at home until my brother and Nora’s wedding, that I had been training with Tigre-sensei and that I was late because I had been in Oriola to kill Treants.

“I wanted to go to Nora’s wedding, but I couldn’t find the time due to …… work.”

“It takes more than seven days to get to Gust territory from here, so it can’t be helped. they were very happy with your present.”

“Aha, that’s good to know then♪. You two live together, don’t you? Tell me where you live so I can visit you when I’m off.”

“Of course. It’s in a residential area.”

Helena smiles and opens her mouth as Makina pulls out a homemade map she drew at home and begins to explain.

“It’s not …… a prime location. The rent …… is more likely to be bought by Lars.”

“That’s right. Since we’re going to be living here for a while anyway, it’s better to have the freedom to do what we want, right?”

“That’s a rich man’s idea, isn’t it?”

As Helena said this, the cool woman standing next to her opened her mouth.

“He-Helena-san, we have to go in now, we’re running out of time …… I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to overstep!?”

“Oh, yes. It’s still early in the morning and you have time, so why don’t you go inside and take a look? Isn’t that great, Leila-san?”

“Yes, yes! It not a problem as long as you are Helena-san’s schoolmate!”

The cool woman who was referred to as Leila-san seemed to have a very frightened personality despite her appearance, and although her facial expression didn’t change much, her tone of voice always sounded anxious, making for a very strange sight.

“…… It’s a shame, because she’s pretty cool ……”

“Yeah.”

Makina seems to have thought the same thing, and whispers in my ear.

“Now, Lars-san and Makina-san, right? T-This way, please!”

Leila-san entered first, followed by us. The back is imposing and looks just as it should.

“It’s a shame, after all.”

“Leila-san looks like she’s got it together, so she’s good for avoiding strange people. I can do my job, so don’t worry♪.”

“I’ll see you later. I pray that the two of you will pass the exam successfully. With Helena-san’s help, you’ll be fine.”

“I didn’t come here to audition, and I don’t like the way you said that because it sounds like I’m coming in through a back door ……”

“Have a nice day!”

I protested, but she didn’t really care, and waved us off with a handkerchief. We went to the theater, thinking that we should stay away from her because she had the same smell like Basleigh-sensei.

“I thought it would be big, but it’s huge inside too.”

“It is, isn’t it? It’s big enough to separate the stage for the play and the place where we sing. I was overwhelmed at first, but I got used to it.”

“You’ve been doing this since I was ten, after all. Speaking of which, what about Cynthia?”

“Cynthia is working with other girls as an idol. I used to be paired with her, but now that more and more people want to be idols, we’re changing the combinations.”

“What about Helena?”

“I’m a solo idol. We’re still recruiting, though?”

Helena walked up to Makina, hugged her neck and laughed. When Makina heard this, she opened her mouth, still laughing.

“I was so embarrassed during the competition, you know? I’m tired of being an idol.”

“Hmm, well, for Makina–“

She was about to say something while looking at me, when a cheerful voice interrupted her.

“Good morning, Helena-san!”

“Oh, good morning, Milfy♪. You’re early.”

“Yes! I’m just starting out, so I’ll do my best to be of help to everyone! …… Oh, who are these people?”

The girl called Milfy put her finger to her lips and looked at us with a puzzled look on her face. Just as we were about to open our mouths to introduce ourselves, she looked at Helena and then at me, and shouted out loud.

“Ah! Could it be that you’re Helena’s b-b-b-b-b-b-, boyfriend ……!? Gulp …… He’s a really cool guy ……”

“No, I’m –“

“It’s okay! You don’t have to say it anymore! It’s a tough world to be an idol …… You don’t have time to flirt with your lover, and it’s hard to be accepted in a relationship …… But when you are, the flame of love burns brighter and brighter, eventually, the two of you …… Ahhhhhh! I’m so jealous!”

She spins around as if she were performing a play, and opens her mouth as if she were the heroine of a tragedy. And when she notices Makina, she raises her voice even higher.

“This one is very beautiful ……!? Is it possible that Helena-san’s partner has been chosen!?”

And then Makina breathed in and put her hand on Milfy’s shoulder with a disturbing smile.

“No, that’s not it. I’m Makina, Helena’s classmate at Oblivion Academy and Lars’ girlfriend there.”

“Gulp …… I-Is that so …… What is a terrible mistake …… Hmm? Lars ……? Could it be that the handsome man there is Mr. Lars Irving!?”

“Oh!”

“Yes, that’s true, but do you know him?”

Milfy folded her hands in front of me while escaping from Makina’s hands, her eyes shining. wonder why, but if Helena said it, then she would know about Makina ……

“‘Of course I do! Lars-Irving, the famous designer of the idol’s outfits! There’s no way I don’t know him!! Designer to Helena-san! I could die today ……! Afun.”

“Kyaaa!? Milfy-san, get a grip!?”

“Ahaha, that’s not unusual♪.”

As if a thread had snapped, Milfy collapsed, Leila-san hurriedly held her in place, and Helena laughs. This noisy in the morning, and she said that “that’s not unusual”? I looked at the scene, thinking that I would never be able to relax.
