[Hey, hey, hey, did you see that !? I heard [Pyonpyon san] has a girlfriend !]
[I was surprised at that. …..He says she’s not his girlfriend, though.]
That day, I was on the phone with Kasumi and Tsumiki. Of course, the topic of conversation was about Pyonpyon].
“She’s not his girlfriend. I hope this is a good opportunity for them to get to know each other.”
[Right. …..Come to think of it, Nanami, you were replying with a fan exchange account.]
“Oh, I’ve been found out.”
I have an account for interacting with fans.
It’s an account where I pretend to be a fan and get along with the fans without revealing who I am.
I thought at first why don’t I just use it as a sub account of [Kusunoki Nanami? but this is what Manager san suggested.
…..Because there would be a bias in the accounts we interact with. I decided to use separate accounts, just in case. I try to interact with as many people as possible in case I get caught.
Even so, I can’t help but talk to [Pyonpyon san] more often than I’d like. I ended up replying to him today as well.
I hope I can be of help. I wanted him to have a happy life, but I also had other reasons. It was–
“I was recently asked for advice by him, and it made me remember.”
[By him?]
[You mean Yukito kun !]
“Yeah ! ……Yukito kun seems to be having a hard time with my birthday present lately.”
[He’s thinking too hard.]
“Yup !”
I couldn’t give him advice. That’s why I did it.
I hope this will help [Pyonpyon] get to know his friends of the opposite sex better.
[Anyway, Nanami chan, you really do love Yukito kun !]
“Right. ……Tsumiki chan !? W-what did you just say !?”
[Fufu ! You’re finally being honest !]
“N-no, well, I’m just thinking about a few things right now, and it’s not….that kind of thing……..”
Heat is gathering on my face and sweat is seeping down my skin.
I had to deny it, but the voice that came out was very small.
[Fufu, don’t bully Nanami too much, Tsumiki.]
[Okay ! I’m sorry, Nanami chan.]
“Y-you’re wrong, okay ? I mean, it’s not like that.”
[Fufu, I know, I know !]
[Don’t worry, I get it, Nanami chan !]
“You definitely don’t get it…..”
I let out a passionate breath as the two of them seemed to be having fun.
…That’s not the case. Perhaps.
◆◆◆
After talking for a while—Kasumi suddenly spoke up as if she remembered something.
[Oh yeah, Nanami. It’s good to interact with him, but it’s better to delete the stuffed animal thing.]
“Nn……? The stuffed animal thing?”
[Yeah.]
What’s that about? I thought, but now that I think about it, I told Pyon san about it—-
“Ah.”
[I see you’ve noticed. Yes. You haven’t disclosed that you got a stuffed animal in the past.]
Hearing Kasumi’s words, the blood immediately drained from my face. It was so hot just now.
“I-I had to delete it.”
[You’d better do that. But it’s probably okay. There doesn’t seem to be anyone who has suspicion.]
[[Pyonpyon] also makes his own acrylic keychains and figures ! He can even make stuffed animals…isn’t it amazing what he can make?]
[Yeah, I think it’s great.]
I nodded at their words and erased my reply to him. Maybe this will work.
“Fu, thank goodness. …But it’s better not to tell him this.”
[Agree. It might reveal that it was Nanami.]
……I’m sorry, Pyonpyon san.
I muttered that in my mind.
I hope I have a chance to apologize someday. I thought about that, but switched my mind. If I were to worry about it any longer, the two of them would worry about me.
“I heard that the girls from [Sies] are doing well these days.”
[Yeah, it seems so. They’ve been so busy lately that I haven’t been able to contact them at all.]
[I’d love to collaborate with them again ! I’ve been trying to get in touch with them too, but they can’t even read messages.]
“Ah, the same for both of you. So was I. I contacted Ako chan, but she didn’t pick up.”
They seem to be gaining momentum and are probably pretty busy.
[I hope we can all go out to dinner again when things settle down !]
“Yeah !”
[…..I guess so.]
When I get back, I hope we can collaborate again…….a collaborative song or a collaborative live performance someday.

“……Haa.”
I rub my temples to release my heavy head and exhale.
A quiet room. While waiting for the girls, I think again about how I’m going to move forward.
The best way to do this is to make sure that the situation is as ideal as it can be.
But ideals are just that, ideals. I know that reality is not so sweet.
…My head hurts even more.
“At the very least…..I hope that those girls won’t get hurt as much as possible.”
That’s all I can hope for. …That’s the most challenging thing.
–Clang.
The door opens and I look towards it. Three beautiful girls and a woman about my age. And one older man.
They are the members of [Sies], their manager, and the producer.
“Sorry for making you wait. I’ve been busy lately.”
“No, no, no. We are the ones who asked you to come.”
Those five sit across the table from each other. I’m alone.
“What can I do for you?”
“…..Right. I know you are busy, so I will be brief.”
My eyes shift from the two adults to the three—to one of them, the girl.
The leader of [Silent Spell]. Mikami Ako.
She has not changed her expression at all since a moment ago. …But her face was sweaty and her breathing was shallow.
“You were the one who leaked [Kusunoki Nanami]’s email address. Ako chan.”
