PS: This chapter ...... It's the author's conjecture about Starlight Academy, but it's also to give a setting. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info So please don't complain~~

At this time, inside the Starlight Academy.

"Alas, although I think this Nan Song is very petite on TV, it turns out that it actually looks even smaller. This height looks like a primary school student, right?" looked at Xiao Nan, who was wearing a mask, and one of the students whispered to the classmates next to him. (Ahhh...... Classmate, I heard that?)

"yes, yes...... Although I do know that, judging from the performance of the 'Idol Red and White Society', Nan Soi-sama's strength is definitely more than a cut above us. But...... It may be rude to say that, but this figure must still be a child, right? and it doesn't sound loud from her voice...... So she should be a cute little girl under the mask, right? Wow~~ I'm looking forward to it. That's what another student said. (What a faux pas...... This classmate. ）

Xiao Nan's first meeting with the idols of Starlight Academy was spent in such a peaceful environment, although the various "whispers" that Xiao Nan could hear clearly even if his classmates lowered their voices made Xiao Nan's heart really unhappy - why do you always talk about my height?

"Okay, classmates, now that you know Xiao Nan, right? It's time to go back to class?" Seeing that the girls' enthusiasm was getting higher and higher, and there was even a tendency to come forward to watch Xiao Nan, Orihime immediately spoke. Interrupted the girls' next move.

―――――――――――― dividing line

"How's that going for these kids?" said Orihime with a smile after convincing the girls back to the classroom.

"It's great, it's everything, their enthusiasm and sincerity...... But what makes me happiest is that they have a simple smile on their faces, a smile that has not been polluted by the darkness of society. In this way, they can wholeheartedly go to the road of acting, right? This is the best support this academy gives them, worthy of being the head of Orihime?" Xiao Nan showed a solemn smile on his face and said slowly, "In this academy, the mainstream idea is that the capable come first, and only hard work will pay off such a positive, healthy, and sunny thought." So as long as you can withstand the pressure of being an idol, you will definitely be able to shine. You don't have to be like the idols in society, and at the same time you have to think of ways to avoid malicious speculation from the media, and finally make yourself sad and troubled...... The protection that this academy gives to the girls is amazing. Speaking of this, Xiao Nan's face was full of admiration. However, Orihime on the other side was so surprised that she forgot to bring the glass of water in her hand that had been raised into the air to her mouth. After a long time, she said with a hint of disbelief in her emotion: "Xiao Nan...... You've grown up and become very mature...... It is worthy of being a child of the Guangshi family! This kind of sensibility is not something that ordinary people can do. ”

"That's right...... For Starlight Academy, its most important task is not only to introduce more and better excellent idols, but also to protect the children of this academy - because they are our students, and as educators, we all have an unshirkable responsibility to protect the physical and mental health of our students!" Orihime's hands pressed against the table, her eyes full of determination and seriousness. Then she seemed to remember something, so she leaned back in her chair, her expression softened a lot, and continued, "Actually, Starlight Academy has a very long history...... And the reason why I chose to start my acting career here in the first place, in addition to the selection of new idols was going on here at that time, one of the more important reasons was that I knew them, so I believed in them. Then at that audition, I met a friend who was indispensable to my acting career, Miya. ”

And ...... For me who didn't want to, and couldn't see people with my own face, was this the only choice......, right? How could other performing arts studios, organizations, or so on allow such a thing? After all, idols are still not easy to become famous if they don't rely on their faces, and the media are not happy. That's why it's the only place that allows us to represent the academy in a way like 'masquerade' to perform, film, and go to idol events. Orihime sighed, "That's why in the end, I reached an agreement with my family and made a lot of compromises, and I must sit in this position myself, and then build the academy into the best idol academy in Japan!"

"Yes, this is the first time I've heard of such a thing, aunt...... I believe in my aunt's abilities! But speaking of which...... Although this college can give students many great opportunities to exercise themselves, it also gives students a platform to step into the society and become well-known people. After all, the environment here is so good, and the good ones will always make the girls have some naïve fantasies that are slightly different from reality...... It's fine if it's a general or even first-class mid-to-late level idol, but if it goes up, the probability of appearing is not very large, which is why this academy has not been able to have a top idol or group since the 'masquerade', right? Xiao Nan once again uttered an inference that shocked Orihime beyond words.

"Xiao Nan, ......?!" Orihime didn't expect that Xiao Nan had directly guessed and said the question that had been bothering her heart. So the expression on her face was shocked for a while.

"Ah...... Don't be so surprised, I'm 14 years old today? After this Spring Festival, I can even say that I'm 15? And when I was studying in the Celestial Empire, although I never went to class or studied, I still read books? I have read all the four famous books of the Celestial Empire? And there are many books, so don't think of me as an innocent and ignorant idol, okay? I'm a child of the Guangshi family, am I? If I am regarded as a character who only sells cuteness, I am very troubled, right?" (Speaking of which, I proudly hold my chest up - I finished reading the ancient editions of the four famous books when I was 15 years old!)

"Aha...... You've surprised me so much, my dear. Orihime, who came back to her senses after a long time, smiled bitterly, "So what do you think you should do?...... The other kids are fine, after all, they still have a long way to go, but you should know that......, right? It's only been 2 years since she's gotten that far. ”

"Well, I know, as a first-year student who won the Starlight Queen, she has no shortage of talent and hard work, so one day she will get to that point. Not...... But for now, we need to go further. So don't be in a hurry. We have at least a year left to discuss her way out. Xiao Nan shook his head and said.

"Hmm?...... Yes, too. Orihime nodded, agreeing with Nan's opinion. But then she changed the subject and said, "Now that those children are interested in you, how are you going to satisfy their curiosity?" Orihime laughed narrowly.

"Cut! Isn't it a good thing you did?" Xiao Nan rolled his eyes unladylikely, and then muttered, "Hmm...... Speaking of which, in fact, aunt, you already have a corresponding countermeasure, right?"

"Hmm, is it visible? Yes, I have a countermeasure...... Let's put on another show here, in front of your classmates, so that at least they can convince you more. It's a great benefit to your teaching, isn't it?"

"Is that so?...... It's okay too. So when?"

"Tomorrow, right?"

"Hmm...... Okay, so be it. Xiao Nan finally confirmed.
