That Time I got Reincarnated as Son of an Idol

Yes, I know a lot of people say that there are times when people are geniuses as children, outstanding as teenagers, and average as adults.

Then it's very obvious in the world of entertainment. Many child actors and musicians are famous when they are children and fade away once they grow up.

There are many reasons why their fame faded, and I don't need to list them. But I think I can handle the pressure. Maybe... I've never experienced being a famous person. But I'll have to do it if I want to try to change Ai's fate. 

"To be a superstar, it would be good to be famous from an early age." I said those words to Miyako, who was working on her laptop. 

"Yes?" She tilted her head upon hearing my words. 

"I think there’s some actors who successfully became actors after being child actors, right?" 

"Well, of course… But most of the time the actors failed to escape their image as children and eventually quit acting too… you know…" 

I threw those questions at Miyako, and she answered in a rather realistic way. 

"I know, but I think this is a chance for our great destinies and a time to nurture this child." I said those stupid lines to trigger Miyako, whose face said, ‘Oh, shit! I forgot about that’

"Are you saying you want to take a baby role and become a child actor?" Miyako said it to my face.

"Yes. That's why I need your help. Since we became famous as a baby who danced in an idol's performance. We may use this moment to find a job in an advertisement or a simple role in a drama or TV show. I think we’re capable of doing something easy. We will sit if told to sit, laugh and smile if told to laugh, and we may remember some of the words too. I don’t think they would ask too much, right?" I explained my reasoning to Miyako, who looked like she was thinking deeply.

"Yeah, that’s true… We may get role advertising. It's rare to get a twin baby role in powdered milk or baby food with a twin… that sounds like a good plan." Miyako is mumbling and making an interesting plan. 

"But we have a problem... Will Ichigo and Ai allow us to do it…?" Miyako said with a pale face, as she probably remembered the last time she was lectured by Ichigo.

"Well, I think Ai will let us do anything we want… as for Ichigo, as long as Ai agrees, he will be fine. He had such a big soft spot for Ai."  

"Hahaha, you can read him like that." Miyako looked down as she replied to me. She lifted me up and put me in her arms.  "So how do I get Ai to agree to this?" 

"Hm… I need Ruby’s help to make it easier." I replied to Miyako, who put me down near Ruby, who for a long time watched Ai’s last performance again and again.

"Kyaaa~~~ As I suspected, our mom is the best~~" Ruby said those words while cheerfully singing the melody of Ai’s song.

"So what do you think about this plan?" 

"Are you saying you want to become a child actor?" 

"Yes… We can help Ai and it may help you in the future too?" 

"My future?" 

"Yeah, don’t you want to become like a mother… a shining star. I know you can do it."

"Is that so? You sound pretty sure. It makes me feel embarrassed." 

"Well, half the reason since you had Ai’s genes after all." 

"That’s a bit cruel to say… Don’t you think so, Miyako?" 

"Eh, why did you change the conversation with me… To be honest, seeing you two talking to each other like this. I feel like my sanity is being chipped away bit by bit. I wonder if this is a dream or reality… But just as Aqua says, after selling those coins, the price gradually declined, and I got nine million yen in just one scoop. It’s scary… I want to use this money for a lot of things, but I’m afraid I will be cursed if I do something wrong…" Miyako suddenly shared her experience as her expression turned a bit ugly.

Ruby and I stared at each other, and we had the same expression: which ‘Is Miyako will be fine?’

"Well, rather than use that money… how about saving it and buying the coin again when the price is the lowest again?"

"Ah… that’s true." Miyako said it quickly, but her expression became normal again. "I don’t know if Ruby wants to become an idol or an actor in the future. But I don’t think it’s such a bad idea to start early. In the end, you two are much smarter and easier to handle than any baby I knew. People in advertisements will like you very much, and you can make a connection too. That's what Aqua is trying to say. This may help you if one day you want to become an idol." Miyako explained my intention to Ruby. 

"If I want to become an idol… Huh… Fine, we’re doing it. But why is it up to me?" Ruby asked me this question. 

"Because it's easier to convince Ai if we both agree and I need you to do something." 

"You want me to do something?"

"Yeah, I think you will do a better job than me." I said those and told Ruby and Miyako my plan to convince Ai and Ichigo. Well, more importantly, the two of them would be key after all. While I only took the back seat. 

After the last performance, Ai immediately got recognized and got a job, and she went with Ichigo and went home in the evening. 

"Mom's home~~" Ai always greeted cheerfully when she announced herself upon arriving at the apartment. She looked at us for a moment before going to the bathroom and washing her hands and stuff. Before she hugged us in her arms.

"Hm~~ You two became heavier." Ai complained, but her face looked like she had a good day. Well, she finally got another job after all, and judging from her mood, it may have gone well for her. She took care of us for a while before Miyako came to say something to her. 

"Ah… Ai. There’s something I want to talk about with you about the twins?" Miyako started the conversation. 

"Eh, is there something wrong with them?" 

"No, actually, they’re really easy to babysit." 

"Really? I'm glad to hear that. I'm sorry for always troubling Miyako." 

"It’s fine, really… It’s another level of experience. I guess…" 

"Ahaha, is that so…" 

These two had a good relationship. 

"Anyway, Ai… I wonder if you are interested in letting your child make appearances in advertisements and stuff." Miyako finally asked the question. 

"Eh… that’s…" Ai looked a bit surprised with those sudden questions. 

"To be honest, if you see how easily they’re becoming viral on the internet, it shows how good their prospects are." 

"Really…" 

"Yeah, I’m never babysitting anyone except your children. But I think your children are much smarter than any baby I knew. You can see it from them already starting to talk a bit and how fluent their dance is. It may be from your genetics." 

"Ehehehe, I feel embarrassed if you praise me like that…" 

"Also, they don’t really cry that much. Except if they are hungry or relieve themself. People from advertising will like these two." 

"That’s true… But…" 

"I know you worry about them and your career too. Since this may be a danger if people catch you and the twins's secret. And you may worry if these two do not want to become child actors or something else in the future. But you see… You want your kid to do anything, so give them as many opportunities and options as possible, right? "

"Yeah, that’s true." 

"How about you saving their money for their future?" 

"That's a good idea too." 

"Also, your kid is smart, you know… how if you ask them?" 

Miyako said those words, followed my instructions, and took Ruby from Ai. She lifts her up in front of Ai’s face. 

"Eh, do you think… do they understand?" 

"Why not try it?" 

"Well, how do I say it?"

"Just ask them if they want to be like their mother. To be featured on the screen." 

"Ah… That's a good question. Ehm… Ruby, do you want to be like me and appear on the screen?" Ai asked Ruby, who was literally in front of her. 

"Ruby…want…to…be…like…mama…" Ruby said with a smiling face. 

"Ruby?" Ai was a bit surprised, but her face was a bit blushing and she was happy to hear her kids say something like that.

"Mama…shining…I…like…to…be…like…mama…shining…" Ruby said with such a happy looking face in such a cute manner too. 

It was something that I knew very well that I couldn’t do yet…

"Hahaha, really… Ruby wants to be just like mom." Ai took Ruby from Miyako's hand and hugged her lovingly. "Ehehe, mom, happy to hear that… Ah, what about you, Aqua?" Ai asked me. 

I didn't need to say that much and just nodded my head. "Together…" 

"Is that so? Well, if you two want to do it. I don’t think I need to prohibit them. But I hope you will take care of the two of them, Miyako." 

"I will." 

And so this will be the start of my career, me and Ruby at such an early age, far from something that happened in the manga,
