Become an Idol or Become Deceased! [fan translation] P.1

Chapter 192

First up... we moved to a nearby empty conference room with the runner-up of this season's <IdolCo> who appeared out of nowhere.

"Thank you so much!"

"...No problem."

No, this was in fact a situation for her to be thankful for.

For abruptly asking us to free up some time to listen to her in the middle of our schedule without making any prior arrangements.

And it was a junior who met us for the first time at that.

'Still, I have time only because the schedule is a private advertisement meeting.'

Otherwise, there was no chance.

- Ah~ Moondae should go along to make the session work better!

Just a moment ago, Keun Sejin was making an escape hole to get out of this in this way.

The reason I didn't try to avoid this situation, which I could have gotten out of unscathed with a casual, 'Um, I see. I'm sorry', was simple.

'It's better to know things in advance.'

It seemed like someone made a gesture that would affect TeStar, and it would certainly get twisted once the issue goes through the people in the company.

'I can easily pull out even if I personally hear her out now.'

Even if we were in the same company, we were still competitors. There was nothing immoral about not providing specific help to the other person in the same position.

'Then, let's hear it.'

...However, what came out of the hoobae's mouth after greeting us was beyond my imagination.

"Our... debut title song is going to be called 'Magical Girl'...!"

"Pfft."

The sound made just now wasn't by me but by Kim Raebin who was sitting next to me. This guy didn't have an advertisement meeting either, so he had time to kill.

'Have they gone mad?'

Was the person in charge over there crazy? No, there could be a misunderstanding.

I managed to open my mouth.

"Like TeStar's debut song 'Magical Boy'..."

"Yes, yes! When I listen to it, I immediately think of that song. The lyrics are similar, and the genre is also similar..."

It was not a misunderstanding.

The hoobae's face was pale.

"I've already seen the concept... and the costumes, and they are all so, so similar..."

"..."

"I came to meet you because I thought I should tell you about this..."

Right. I can definitely see where she was coming from.

'I guess she looked for us since she thought this would screw all of us up.'

After all, this kid also survived Idolco, so she couldn't have just recklessly come to us trusting us to selflessly help her.

A senior in the same company with a two-year difference was very close to a rival.

However, if such a case breaks out, TeStar would also be harmed, so she must have come assuming we would oppose this as well.
