Chapter 44 - Chapter 44: Idol (1)

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

Morning.

As I opened my eyes, I saw I was in an unfamiliar room. The room gave a girlish vibe. On a nearby table, I saw a teddy bear plushie, a hairpin with a white cedar flower, a beads bracelet, a green kite shaped pendant, and a familiar green ribbon.

I was on the bed with a naked orange haired girl hugging me while sleeping. It was Yotsuba and this was her room. Watching her cute face, I couldn't help but caress her cheeks, which caused her to wake up.

Blinking her eyes for a few moment before looking at me, it took her a whole to recall what happened this night and then she blushed but was also smiling.

"Good morning, Yuu!"

"Good morning, Yotsuba!"

I kissed her and we spent a few minutes to cuddle before getting out of the bed. Seeing her naked body, I couldn't help but feel horny and we had few rounds in the room and in the bath.

"Haaa... Yuu, you're really insatiable aren't you? We've barely slept because of how much we did it this night and you're still this horny."

"What can I say, I can't help it. How can I restrain myself when I have such a cute wife?"

"Hehe, good thing I don't really need sleep from now on. Anyway, let's go to school, I want to talk with my sisters."

"Okay, let's go."

We just finished having breakfast and decided to go to school.

As we went out and closed Yotsuba's room, the door of the room next to hers opened and a familiar pink haired girl came out.

"Ah, Yuu, it's you!"

"Oh, Airi, hello!" It was Momoi Airy from the class B.

"Yuu, you know Momoi-san?" Asked Yotsuba.

"Yeah, she's from the same club as us."

"Oh! I see."

"Anyway, Yuu. Can you, please, tone it down a bit the next time you're doing "that" because I couldn't sleep when I heard your voices." Said Airi.

Hearing that, Yotsuba blushed very hard and hid her face on my back. Yeah, I was used to do it in my mansion where the sound isolation was good and only noticed about it after a dozen of rounds and made a sound isolation barrier.

"Ah, sorry for that, Airi."

I also noticed a slight blush on her face.

Afterwards, the three of us were chatting together as we went to the entry hall together. Their room were situated on the sixth floor of the dorm.

In this school, there were three dorms, each for the students of a school year. The one where we were was the first year's dorm and it would start ours for the the years we spend in this school. The actual third year's dorm would become the next year's as they graduate.

Each dorm have for floors. The lower four floors are for the guys and the upper four are for the girls. The rules says that during the night, the students can't sleep outside the dorm rooms or the houses but it doesn't specify which room or which house.

After a while, we reached the entry hall on the first floor and we met Airi's friends, Hinomori Shizuku, Hanasato Minori and Kiritani Haruka. Together we went towards the school.

Also, as we excited the dorms, Lina, my Gardevoir, who waited for me, came to us and gave our PokeBall to us. Before doing the act, I asked Lina to take our Pokemon to the mansion.

Reaching our classroom, as Yotsuba and I entered together, I remarked that almost all the girls were already there. Seeing us, her sisters immediately approached us.

"Good morning, darling, Yotsuba." Greeted Nino.

"Good morning, Nino, girls."

"G' morning, Yuu!" "Hello, Yuu, Yotsuba!"

Then they took Yotsuba away as I went towards my seat whole greeting or classmates. My band mates were hanging around Shiho's seat which was just in front of mine.

"Seriously, Yuu, it's been three days since you took Itsuki into your harem and you already got another one." Remarked Shiho.

"Well, actually, I just wanted to talk about Yotsuba about her problem and somehow, things became like that."

"*Sigh* Also, it hasn't been three months since the start of the school and you already have seven girls in your harem. You really don't waste your time, aren't you?"

"What can I say, that's just how much my charms are." I said in a joking tone.

"Pfff haha, I would say, as expected from the famous demon king." Added Saki which caused us to laugh.

"Then again, most of people surrounding Yuu-kun are girls. The only guys that could be called his fried are Tsukasa-san and Rui-san from our club and Hirata-kun." Stated Hoshi-chan.

"Right? And I can tell that some are developing some feeling towards Yuu-kun. I'm pretty sure that you're already aware of them with your power, Yuu-kun. What are you planing to do with them?" Questioned Honami.

As they heard her, my band mates were looking with a somewhat expectant look. Even though she said that, I know that Honami's statement also include her and she knows that I'm aware of it, the same goes for Hoshi-chan and Saki. While I can't say they're in love with me, I know that they have developed a crush towards me.

"Well, just as Shiho said, things went pretty fast with her, Arisu and the quintuplets so for now, I'm planning to take my time and get to know everyone more.

"I may have said that polygamy is pretty common but most of them only have two, three or at most five wives or husbands, just like how Shiho's and Saki's father are bigamous. It's very rare for someone to have a big harem and only the really wealthy ones do.

"I also know that most of those who join someone's harem do so because they don't have a choice if they want to stay with their loved one even though they don't want to share, and some ends up regretting it. Not everyone are like the quintuplets who are willing to share a husband.

"That's why I want to make sure no one joining my harem would regrets their choice. You could say I'm very lucky they none of my actual harem members really mind about it." I answered.

"I see. Well, I have already accepted that I wouldn't be the only one when I fell in love with you and you Already had Nino at the time but still decided to join. But I understand that not everyone are the same." Said Shiho.

It seems my answer satisfied the girls and they decided to think about it carefully before making a move. They didn't say anything but I could guess their thoughts from there emotions I felt from them.

"Okay, can you tell me what's the problem?"

"Um, Himekawa-san, isn't it a bit too crowded here?"

Right now, I was in the main club room because the idol girls from the class B asked me to help their friend, Kiritani Haruka, with her problem. And for some reason, everyone except Kirisu-sensei are here.

"Well, don't worry about that. No one here would spill your secret it anything sensitive. So, can you tell me what is it that you need help with?"

"Um, well, you see, last Saturday, when we came back from the pokeworld..."

"Phew, we're finally back! I'm really tired, I can't wait to jump in my bed!" Minori exclaimed as we came out of the Pokegate.

"Minori, I think you'll need to train more if you're tired with just that. Stamina is one of the most important thing you'll need as an idol." I told her. I know that things would be easier for her as she stay in this school but, having experienced the life of an idol, I know that it would be hard when we start joining an agency.

I was just a middle school idol but it was already hard with the practices and activities. It would definitely be harder for a full time idol.

"Eeehhh! But, Airi-chan, can't I just take some rests?"

"Well, it's also an idol's job to make sure to get some rests when you can."

"Really, thank you Shizuku-chan!"

"*Sigh* while what you said is true, you shouldn't spoil her too much, Shizuku. The coast in the east part wasn't that far and we have taken enough of rest while fishing."

"You say that because you didn't need to fish! You were lucky to find a clamperl on the beach but I had to spend hours to get a good Pokemon. Seriously, I'm really unlucky and just kept catching Magicarp while the others just got theirs in few tries."

"Ahaha, well, now that you say that, maybe you deserve some rest, after all."

"Ufufu, it seems that even you have a soft spot, Airi."

"What do you mean, Haruka? Of course I have a soft spot! It's just that since, unlike us, Minori doesn't have any experience as an idol, so I decided to be strict with her in order to help her growing faster. I'm sure Yuu would agree with me."

"Yuu-kun, huh? Speaking of him, didn't you spend a lot of time with him lately?"

"Ah, w-what! I-it's not like I have developed some feeling towards him! Don't get me wrong!" How did she know about it? I didn't expect the airhead Shizuku to realize about my feelings.

"Eh? What are you saying? I only asked asked about you spending time together. I though the two of you became good friends. I never said anything about your feelin... Wait, Airi-chan, does that mean you have feelings for him?" Asked Shizuku, surprised.

"W-wha!"

Oh no, I think I fucked up really bad. She didn't notice anything before but now, she did.

"Eh, eeeehhhh? It's that true, Airi-chan?"

"Wh-wha-wha, what are you saying? I just said I don't, didn't I?"

"Ahahaha, Airi-chan is just being a Tsundere as usual." Said Shizuku amused.

"Uwah! B-but, isn't there a time saying that idol shouldn't have a boyfriend?"

"Well, that's actually the rules known by the public and only a few agencies would do that. For most agencies, the rule is "don't have a boyfriend if you can but if you do, then don't let the public know about it." Being an idol is one of the most stressful job in this country and restricting one's relationship may cause them more stress so agencies rarely do so. But idols need to be really careful when in relationship if one don't want scandals." Explained Haruka.

"And let's not forget about the fact that the majority of idol's fan are Otakus and idols need to give them the illusion that they have a chance of dating us, that's what most of agencies ask us. Well, as we were still middle schooler when we were still active, our agencies didn't ask us to but they told us to prepare ourselves for when we're older. The exception would be Royal idol, the idol agency of Royal music, which is a subsidiary of Princess. The Himekawa clan have publicly announced that their idols are free to have a relationship and have no obligation to fulfill the fans' expectations. Even then, they're one of the best idol agencies with the most popular talents. It's the number dream agency of every idol." I added.

"But doesn't that mean idols need to lie to their fan? Aren't idols supposed to give hope to their fans?" Minori seemed to be surprised by what she heard as she asked.

"Idols themselves are supposed to do that. It's just that the majority of idol's agencies mostly care about fame and money. I did some research and found that more than 50% of the idols in this country are being explored by their agency. I was actually one of such case. I changed agency a few times but all of them only care about how much money they would get from my activities as entertainer despite my wish to do more idol activities. That's why I stopped being an idol."

"Airi-chan..."

Shizuku, Airi and Haruka were surprised and seems to feel sorry for me.

"You don't need to worry about me. It's all in the past and from now on, I'll do my best to become the idol I always wanted to be. And most of all, I'm doing it alongside with my best friend so you don't need to worry at all."

"Yeah, that's right, Airi-chan, let's do it best together!"

"Ah, hey, Shizuku, there's no need to hug me!"

"Hey, don't forget about me!"

"Not you too, Minori!"

I got entangled with Minori and Shizuku hugging me. Haruka was chuckling watching us. Speaking of her...

"Hey, Haruka, do you really have no plan on coming back as idol? You're our friend to and I want to be an idol with you."

"I'm sorry, I'll pass."

"Let me plead too. Haruka-chan, you're a precious friend of us. And having you to help us, I'm pretty sure we would be..."

"Stop it! I don't have the right to be an idol!" Haruka interrupted Shizuku while rising her voice a bit.

"Eh?" (Minori)

"You don't have the right to be an idol? What do you mean?" (Airi)

"Nothing. I didn't mean much. I just used the wrong words." (Haruka)

"Haruka?" (Shizuku)

"Don't worry about me, I just want to live as a normal student now. I wish you luck. I'll be cheering the three of you."

With that, haha walked away and the three of us were left there.

"That definitely wasn't using a wrong word." I said.

"Haruka-chan, did something happened to her?" Asked Shizuku.

"I'm not sure, but I think it's related to the reason she stopped being an idol." I answered.

The three of us couldn't help but worry about her.

I took my phone out to find anything that could be related to Haruka. But as I opened it, I saw a lot of notifications from Pidger. Well, that was to be expected since I just made a post about Shizuku and I coming back as idols and starting a new unit alongside with Minori alongside a picture of the three of us.

I opened it and as I scrolled down the comments, I saw a peculiar one.

"Minori, Shizuku, look at this!" I urged them.

"What is it?"

They looked at my phone and I pointed the comment to them. It said [Hinomori-san, Momoi-san, can I talk to you? There's something I want to talk about.]. It had many repid (A/n: retweet), mainly due to who the sender was.

"Isn't that Mai-chan? From ASRUN?" Shouted Minori.

It was Mai, a former member of ASRUN, Haruka's previous idol unit.

"Yeah, it's her. Should we try to contact her? I think she should know something about Haruka." I said to them

"What about the rules? We aren't allowed to contact the outside, right?" Asked Shizuku.

"Us not but we can just talk to Yuu or his cousins. They're allowed to after paying some points."

"Oh, that's right! And there's also my sister, Shiho. How can I forget about that? Let's do it!"

Having decided to do it. We first tried to call Yuu-kun but the call failed to connect, most likely they're still in the pokeworld. The school have installed a network over the to make it possible to call someone there but there are still some areas out of tech.

Since Shiho was also with him, she isn't an option either so we called Emu instead and she agreed to help us.

Don't forget the power stones.
