That Time I got Reincarnated as Son of an Idol

"Wow, it’s mom's first time acting in a drama. I’m so excited!!" Ruby said those words in such a clearly excited voice. 

"Though I’m only playing a small role." Ai replied to Ruby's words while playing with her soft cheek.

Seeing the two people sitting in the back seat getting along so well. Miyako again warned everyone.

"Listen well, you two... I brought you guys along because you guys begged for it... But don't even think about calling Ai your "mom" while we're on the set. Don’t forget you’re pretending to be MY kids." Miyako's tone of voice strongly emphasizes the word ‘MY.’ with such a serious face. 

But the three of us took advantage of it to throw jokes at her.

"Ok. Ok. Mom, give me a pat on the head." I couldn’t help throwing those words, following the manga script, as Ai and Ruby said something too. 

"Oh, please do that to me too, Mom!" 

"Mom, give me some allowance!" 

"Ku… you three…" Miyako's expression was somewhat irritated, but at least we had a fun journey toward the set.

The set was a high school, and Ai immediately greeted the staff, including the director of the drama, Gotanda Taishi. To be honest, what happened kind of makes me feel dispirited. I mean, after what I've done. The changes that I made only delayed the events in the manga by one year.

Even so, it’s still happening. 

"I wonder if I ask Miyako to use the money from betcoin and hire some yakuza to kill that bastard."

"What the hell are you talking about…" 

"Hm… Do I say it aloud?" 

"A bit…" 

"Well, I’m just thinking about what we’re going to do about our father…"

"Such a thing does not exist…" 

Ruby said with a blank look in her face… a scary expression. 

"And these kids are?" Taishi, who has the same appearance in the manga. He looks like an old man with a slightly disheveled appearance. Even though, at this point, he would be just 30 years old. 

"Oh, they’re mine?" Miyako replied, and Taishi responded while she bowed to him. 

"Is that so…? Hm… I feel like I see them somewhere?" Taishi looked at me and Ruby with such sharp eyes. 

"Well, they’re… Come here, Aqua, Ruby… How about you two introduce yourselves to the director?" Miyako called the two of us, and then we stood next to her before introducing ourselves.

"My name is Hoshino Aquamarine, I’d prefer it if you called me Aqua. Nice to meet you."

"My name is Hoshino Ruby, you can call me Ruby. Please meet you." 

We introduced ourselves, while I bowed politely. Ruby waved her hand and acted a bit cutely. 

"Hm… Oh… I think I know you two… That’s famous twins. I think I see you somewhere on television or billboard. Do you two have any interest in acting?" Taishi asked both of us the question. 

"I want to become an idol!!" Ruby answered the question with her own dream. 

"I actually had a big interest in acting, but I wonder if I will be really good at that…" I answer with my honest feelings. 

"Hm… You'd make a good picture on the screen and have a good delivery in advertising. So even though I've seen prodigy child actors quite a few times, you definitely make it." 

"Is that so…" 

"Here’s my business card, gimme a call when you are interested." Taishi gave me his name card while staring at me with such great interest. 

To be honest, there are a lot of things I want to talk about with him. But well, he had his own job, and there are Miyako and Ruby nearby. 

"Oh, that’s a good thing…" Miyako patted my head after Taishi left. "You may get another job if you’re lucky." She added. 

After that, we were brought to the classroom that was used to prepare actresses. Just like Taishi, most of the actresses knew about us and swarmed around the two of us. Called the two of us cute and gave us a sweet too. 

Since the two are such friendly kids who aren't afraid of strangers. Most of them are so touchy, and Ruby enjoys herself as she acts cutesy, as if she is asking to be spoiled by others. 

Well, it can’t be helped since her parents didn’t really care much about her. That’s why she acted like that… She’s died young too, after all. Anyway, I need to run away from this classroom and meet with Taishi again. 

I left the classroom and lurked around to see the staff doing the set. It feels the same but different, I guess.

Well, it’s not like I knew this stuff. Most of my knowledge came from watching videos behind the scenes of famous movies on Youtube. 

"Oh, Aqua. What are you doing here?" Taisha asked the question after he saw me lurking around. 

"I want to see the shot from close and learn something from it."

"Oh, you’re quite diligent, are you? I like it." 

"By the way, last time you offered me a job, right?" 

"Oh yes. I think shortly I will film a horror movie, and I don’t know why I feel like you will be a great addition." 

"Hm… Okay, but I want you to offer a role to Ai too." 

"That…" 

Taishi looked a bit surprised. I wonder why he’s a bit hesitant… Ah, shit… Maybe he still has not seen Ai’s act. 

"You mean that idol? Well, if we’re talking about her looks. She definitely takes the lead. If she’s lucky, she might survive." 

"It’s fine… I may try to bargain with you… But she will not only survive, but she will surpass your expectations. When you see her. You will understand." 

"What the hell do your parents and company teach you? A child at your age knows the meaning of bargaining… and try to do that to me… Holy crap… This gives me goosebumps. But just like I thought, you will be a good addition to my next movies." 

Taishi was perplexed with my answer and responded with such bizarre words. 

"Eh, but I heard this kind of thing is a common thing in the world of showbiz." 

"Yeah, that’s true. But you wouldn’t expect to hear that from a small child like you."

"Anyway, you see her. You will understand! I guarantee it." 

"Okay… Okay…" 

"Cut 74, Ready…" The staff said those words, and I could see Ai and other actresses ready to do their jobs.

"Cut 74!" 

And when they start shooting, Taishi silently watches Ai’s act. Even though he didn’t say anything. I could see how serious his expression was. 

Well, it’s not like I'm an expert or anything, but just like when she performed, my eyes were drawn to her. 

"He~~ This is interesting. Her acting is average, but she draws me in…"

"Right? Just like I said before, she will be fine." 

"Okay, then… I will contact Strawberry Production later." 

Just like that, Ai and I will be part of a movie shot by Taishi. 

I wonder if she will be there too.
