Half of the workday had passed. I sat at my desk, doing my daily work and chatting with Aya and Tomokazu to come up with new ideas, when Aki knocked on the glass door of the office.
"Come in," I said.
She entered the room.
"It's not common for someone to come here," I continued. "Did something happen?"
"Can't I just come to see my Galactical Prince?"
"Bleh," Aya uttered in disgust.
I sighed. "I'd prefer if you called me by my name while we're at work."
"That's not what you say when we…. Nevermind. Alright, Boss. I'm here to ask you if you're available tonight."
The question caught m

Aki and her parents promptly frowned as soon as I said that. I kept smiling, sitting between my parents. "Can you elaborate?" Aki's father asked. "Sure," I replied, taking a moment to formulate my words. "I started a widget repairing business as soon as I turned sixteen." "You did?" Aki said. "Obviously, I know nothing about technology. I convinced a classmate to start the business with me, she was a genius. People came to repair stuff like their glasses or antique computers. We quickly became popular in the neighborhood. However, even though she was incredibly fast at repairing stuff, we got to a point where we couldn't keep up with the requests." I paused to take a deep breath. Dad placed his hand on my shoulder and mi
I Became the Manager of the First Galactical Idols Signature Adventure
The show was a success and the two next ones were no exception. The second place we performed at was the bar I had gone to before. Opposite to my initial visit, when the manager was rude and disrespectful, he was kind and helpful this time. As much as I hated to deal with such two-faced people, and wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine, I wouldn't lower myself to that level. The third and last place was a small restaurant in a mall not too far from HQ. It wasn't located in the center of the city, but it was close. After the shows, the girls could barely move. I wanted to give them a week-long break but they refused. Somehow, they ended up bargaining for a two-day-long break instead. However, that didn't mean the rest of us had nothing to do. B
I Became the Manager of the First Galactical Idols Meeting of New Old
Only one van arrived in front of HQ. The merchandise had been sent to the mall the day before, meaning we didn't need to take any extra equipment to the fan meeting. The hacker controversy had died down a lot since it happened, so we didn't struggle to walk out of the building and get into the van. We were recurring customers for the van company, so they already knew what to expect. The driver also recognized us, which was a pleasant surprise for everyone. Miki and Satō weren't needed for anything during the fan meeting, so I gave them the day off. We reviewed the itinerary for the day as we drove to the mall, the same one where the restaurant we had performed at before was located. It took ten minutes to reach because of the traffic. To avoid disturbing people not i
I Became the Manager of the First Galactical Idols Shouting Murder
A sudden memory attacked my mind when the picture was taken. I opened it on my glasses to see a completely different face on him, the face of a girl; my ex-colleague. Chiharu?! Behind the transparent picture, the hacker deviously smirked at me. I could see it now; the way she spoke, her manners, her weird sense of humor, and the aggressiveness with which she tackled things. The hacker was Chiharu, using HoloForm and other technologies to appear to be a guy. "Looks like you saw a ghost," she smirked. "In fact, you actually did. Let me fix that for you." The picture on my glasses disappeared for a split second and appeared again, now with the guy's face in it instead of Chiharu's. I stood frozen. "Cat got your ton
I Became the Manager of the First Galactical Idols Spy on Glass
The fan meeting ended without any more problems and the merchandise sold out long before that. Had it not been for the Chiharu and Aki's ex-classmate situations, it would've been a perfect day. They kept giving me headaches throughout the day and I was sure it was the same with Aki, who did an incredible job hiding any discomfort, despite the situation. We returned to HQ with less than an hour left of the shift, so I decided to call it an early day. Tomokazu went home first as usual, while the girls changed back into their regular clothes before leaving. Aya went home with Astra, and Butcher went home with Sanae and Risa. Aki, Umi, and I walked home together. We dropped Umi off at her apartment, and Aki and I headed to mine. She jumped onto the bed as soon as we entered. "Do you want to eat dinner?" I asked.

"I still can't believe you're giving me another exclusive!" Ceruty exulted. "Is that all we are for you? An exclusive?" Aki argued. She spoke to Ceruty through her glasses and let us hear her by turning on the speakers. Aki sat in front of me on the other side of my desk in the office, while Aya and Tomokazu sat at their desks. "Aki," I scowled. She glanced at me and her frown lightened. "Sorry." "It's fine," Ceruty replied. "I'm sure it's obvious I do this to be the center of attention, but you guys helped me a lot, so I'll do anything I can to help you back, even if it's not something that will attract attention." I doubt saying that will help Aki calm down.

The guy hologram stared forward with his eyes open wide and his jaw dropped. It took a couple of seconds for him to start rummaging around, probably trying to end the live stream. Aya waved her hand around in my peripheral vision. I looked at her and she frantically pointed at Aki. Only then did I realize what was happening. I signaled Aki to cut the call and she immediately did. She took her glasses off and put them aside on the desk. Meanwhile, the live stream kept going for a few more seconds. The hologram disappeared and the live stream ended not long after. Aki and I stared at each other, speechless. "What was that?" Aya asked. I took a moment to answer, "Ceruty was hacked."
I Became the Manager of the First Galactical Idols True Backstage
I stared at Aya and she stared back at me with a creepily-wide smile. In the background, the girls and Satō played around the green room, observing the installations and joking with each other. Meanwhile, Aya still stared at me. I had no other choice but to reply. "Yes?" I stammered. "Did you lie about the cost of the rent for this venue?" "No, I didn't. Are you asking because of the premium treatment we're receiving?" "Yes. It's also a very nice place. All of this feels like it should be more than fifty thousand terras." "Maybe because we're used to places that don't specialize in hosting events. This venue was made for concerts and the service is professional. Also, could you lower your voice? I don't want to stress th
