That Time I got Reincarnated as Son of an Idol

Edited by The Darkest Knight#4796

(E/D: I, your lord and savior Editor-kun, am here. For all those who recognized me, congratulations, you just won nothing.)

"Dancing is difficult." Rin said while wiping her face with a towel.

"Yeah." Sora agreed with Rin's words leaning against the wall.

"I never imagined that training in a real place is completely different and more intense..." Mem-cho said as she looked drained.

"Well, this only happened because Ai was excited to get a junior. She's usually the youngest, after all. Please drink this." I spoke to them while handing them sports drinks. 

"Ah, Thank you. Oh…" Mem-cho accepted the can of drink I gave her with a somewhat surprised face. She may be surprised that a small child gave her a drink.

"Oh, Thank you. You're so cute… and working hard." On the other hand, Sora showed such interest that she even stroked my head while saying thank you.

"Thank you, but why is there a child in here…" Rin took the drink while questioning why I was there.

"Other than Idol and V-tubers, I think our company is also an agency for actors, if I'm not mistaken there are only twins." Mem-cho answered Rin's question.

"So he's one of the twins?"

"Yeah, supposedly."

While Rin and Mem-cho conversed, Sora approached me and talked to me.

"Heh, I'm Tokino Sora, a new member of a new Idol group. Who are you?"

"I'm Aqua. I'm technically an actor, but I have been on hiatus for years."

"Eh, is that so?" Sora was kind of surprised by my answer.

On the other hand, Mem-cho continued their conversation behind Sora.

"I think I heard his name before…."

"Is that so?"

"Yeah, wait. Wasn't he the kid who got stabbed by an idol a few years ago? I remember seeing his face in various commercials and TV shows before it was gone."

"What, that's horrible!? I think I've seen her before, but maybe it's because his face has changed."

"Yeah, he's getting bigger after all."

I could hear their conversation, but I focused on Sora, who asked me another question.

"Hee… Are you training or doing anything else?"

"No, I'm coming here because I want to see the three of you." I answered honestly.

"Eh, really… thank you, I guess." Sora was a bit bewildered by my question, but there was a voice coming from behind me, and as expected, it was none other than Ai's voice.

"Ah, he wanted to see all of you since he is the one who inputted your recruitment after all…"

"Eh, really!!" When they heard Ai's words, The three of them sounded really surprised.

'Why did you tell them about this? It will be weird if they know that they were chosen because of a child.' That was my thought when I heard Ai's sentence and saw their response, but it looked like Ai still continued her words.

"That's why all of you need to be grateful to him, and please be nice to him… No, you have to spoil him a lot…" Ai, once again, said something outrageous. It seemed like the wrong thing to say and made me appear like an influential second-generation child.

"Ah… This was a secret." Ai came close to them. She even signaled them to come much closer and whispered to them, "These twins are the children of an important person at Strawberry Pro."

"Is that so?" The three of them responded and looked at me with mixed expressions.

Once again, why do you make me look bad?

"Un, that's why it looks like he learned about a lot of stuff and is actually quite good at it. Our president said he may have the golden touch, which means everything he touches always achieves success."

"Really?" Rin sounded real and did not believe what Ai had said.

"Yes, you can ask many things if you are curious. Ah, please don't ask him for a lottery number, okay."

"Well, in that case, I wonder if there's a special reason why you chose us?"

To my surprise, Mem-cho asked me that question.

"What do you mean? Is that important?" I replied to her.

"Eh… No, it's just. After failing several auditions, I'm kind of hoping you could tell me the reason for choosing me. I mean, it's hard to ask the president about this." Mem-cho continued and told me her reason.

"So you are afraid to ask the president and chose to ask a little kid." Rin said that to Mem-cho, who replied, "It can't be helped. It's a difficult question to ask, you know."

(E/D: That’s right, asking a kid when you don’t have the courage to ask an adult… That sounds sus…)

"Hm… I don't think you need to think too much. In the end, the company sees something for you. It may be that you look cute and have a good smile. And have the talent to be an idol. All of that doesn't really matter because, for now, what is expected from this company is for you to work hard, and the most important thing of all is for you to enjoy yourselves."

"Wow…" The three of them were surprised by my reply, but their faces looked happy and excited.

"You're sure you can talk about the difficult things." Sora was impressed with my answer.

"Yeah, I never thought I would feel moved to hear such words from a kid." Mem-cho said with a smile on her face rather than a mixed expression before.

"It feels like talking with someone older…." Rin responded with the same sentiment.

"Geez, I can talk about difficult things, you know. But if you want to hear my opinion. Well, I like your eyes."

"Huh… Eyes?"

"Yeah, at least for me, you had captivating eyes that were similar to Ai. That's the biggest reason I told the president about you, but in the end… it’s upto if you will match my expectations or not."

"Hee… Is that a challenge for us?" Rin said that with a smile, but her face had a look that said, 'Don't underestimate me.'

"Just a bit, but if you meet my expectations, I will help all of you to become top idols."

"You're really good with words."

"Un, I never expected to feel excited by a kid’s words."

(E/D: She is excited by a kid.ඞඞඞඞඞ)

"Yeah, but…”

""" We will do our best."""

They said those words while high fiving each other, smiling, and having their fun together. It feels like they have good chemistry, something I was worried about.

"Well, at least do your best with your photo session for profile and video introduction first…"

"Yes, we will!!"

I thought it was a good introduction for me to the three. I wonder what the next step would be. Of course, it was ultimately up to Ichigo. But in Oshi no ko, they had an introduction in a youtube video with another Strawberry Pro talent.

But it happened because they didn't have B-Komachi around. Since we had B-Komachi, I thought it would be good to use their popularity. If we use a good plan, we might introduce new group idols with a big hit and increase B-Komachi's popularity for a bit.

Well, to be honest, I may have used them as backup dancers in B-Komachi solo following what Idolmaster did with Rin, but I was also interested in a plan in the Korean novel that I read in my previous life, which introduced them by making the documentary-like show in either youtube or tv-show.

Ah, this may be a good thing too… It didn't have to follow their premise with just two idol groups, but a documentary that involved everyone in Strawberry Pro. So these new idol groups will blend in naturally.

Also, it would be good if it's the same track as my film project with Taishi so that my return would be impactful too.
