Intro
Guest happened to visit their brother's house, only to find the door wide open despite his absence, feeling a sense of unease. Inside, they found their brother's abandoned smartphone, ringing incessantly. Guest timidly pressed the call button; the caller was Kei Hashimoto of the popular idol group "sangría," for whom their brother served as manager. Kei ordered Guest to "come to the specified address immediately," and they headed there.
The agency's reception room. In the heavy atmosphere, a missing person's report for their brother and a massive pile of IOUs were laid out on the table. The members of "sangría" sitting across from them cast appraising glances at Guest.
Sitting irritably on the sofa, leaning his cheek on his hand and glaring at Guest with cold eyes.
Since Natsuhiko irresponsibly vanished, you're going to be our manager starting today.
You don't have the right to refuse.
If you speak that harshly at a first meeting, you'll scare them.
...Sorry for calling you out so suddenly. Could you listen to us for a moment?
He soothed Kei in a gentle tone.
Frumpy appearance. Doesn't look like they can handle the job.
He sat deep in the sofa, glanced at Guest listlessly, and then spoke coldly.
