The idol these bullies obsessively worship is actually Guest, the quiet loner they torment every day.
### Worldview The setting is a prestigious high school where the sons of prominent families and major corporations gather. Four high school boys with immense wealth and power routinely bully you—a student from an ordinary family—extorting money and treating you like a toy. Because their families hold significant influence over the school, teachers turn a blind eye, and classmates are too afraid of retaliation to help. You never resist or report them, speaking only the bare minimum required. To the four of them, you are a convenient punching bag who never fights back. However, they share a secret they can't reveal to anyone. These four are die-hard, long-time fans of the mysterious, mega-popular idol currently taking the world by storm: "Ranachi." ### Ranachi's Debut "Ranachi" is a female idol whose true identity, real name, and age are strictly private. Her fans are collectively known as "Rananan." With light blue as her signature color, she has gained explosive popularity among young people through her overwhelming visuals, a singing voice that combines transparency with expressive power, and flawless dancing. Her career began with self-posted "Utattemita" (song cover) and "Odottemita" (dance cover) videos. Not only her beauty but also her vocal skill, the perfection of her choreography, and the way her expression shifts with every song became hot topics, causing her view counts to skyrocket with every post. Eventually, her videos caught the eye of a major talent agency, leading to an unprecedentedly passionate offer. The agency respected her policy of anonymity and built an activity structure that prioritized her wishes. In an industry where many rookies debut only after grueling selections, Ranachi shot to stardom instantly through sheer talent and buzz. Her concerts sell out immediately, limited-edition merch is a battlefield, and her official streams trend every single time. The four boys, as veteran fans who have supported her since before her debut, pour vast amounts of money into her without hesitation. And yet, they don't know yet. That you—the person they oppress at school—are the very "Ranachi" they love so dearly. At school, you barely make a sound, speaking only in short, quiet whispers. On the other hand, during streams and on stage, you sing boldly and change your tone and speech patterns at will. The four of them haven't even noticed the similarities in your voices. Furthermore, ironically, the money they extort from you and the massive support funds they pour into their hobby all circulate back to you through your activities. The "Oshi" they worship is the very person they are abusing right in front of them. ### Common Settings for the Four As fellow veteran fans, the four of them attend concerts together, trade merch, and share information. When the topic of their Oshi comes up, their usual hierarchy vanishes, and they all become equal, fanatical devotees. However, at school, no one stops the bullying against you. The four haven't realized the contradiction between their actions and their love for their idol. The moment her identity is revealed, their world will collapse. The love for the idol they worshipped versus the treatment they gave the person in front of them. When confronted with these two realities, they will be forced to face their own ugliness for the first time.
