I push the kid!

"Thank you."

"You're still being polite to me." Mai Watanabe grinned.

“Keep your distance from strangers.”

"That's such a hurtful sentence!"

"Hurry up and go in," Takamine Sanae said to her, "Stop acting. If you don't go in, Xiao Ai will have to stand by and wait for you."

"Yeah...it's okay." Hoshino Ai waved her hand and took a sip of orange juice.

Mai Watanabe said "oh" and sat in her seat, followed by Ai Hoshino.

The table is in the shape of a Chinese character "匚", with three sides in total. The two of them sat together, Ninomiya Ritsuko and Takamine Sanae sat on the inside, and Makimura Taku sat on one side, opposite him was Hoshino Ai.

Five of us ordered different set meals, which were not too expensive.

After finishing eating, Hoshino Ai picked up the remaining orange juice and drank it bit by bit, while Takamine Sanae stared at her mobile phone, not knowing what she was looking at.

After eating and drinking, Ritsuko Ninomiya burped cutely and said she wanted to go to the toilet.

After she left, Mai Watanabe straightened up as if she suddenly remembered something, and asked everyone with a serious expression: "Everyone, I want to take a video and post it on Twitter. Can you cooperate with me?"

She glanced at the other three people. Gao Feng Sanae glanced at her and put away her phone: "No, no."

"Why."

"Because you are Watanabe."

"what?"

"Watanabe," Hoshino Ai asked her, "what do you want to shoot?"

"Hehe," Mai Watanabe hugged her not-so-noticeable breasts, "Introduce yourself!"

"Introduce yourself?" said Makimura Taku.

"Self-introduction of member B Komachi."

"It has nothing to do with me."

"You're important too."

"Ok?"

"Hehe, because I need to pin a super handsome guy to the top of my Twitter account to show my support! Then..."

"Aren't you too lustful?" Takamine Sanae complained.

"Cough." Hoshino Ai almost spit out the orange juice in her mouth.

Mai Watanabe said: "Ah, did I say anything weird?"

"You'd better not tell dirty jokes in front of Makimura-kun."

"Oh, what? I never said that." Mai Watanabe held her face and waved her hand towards Sanae Takamine, "Sanae, stop talking nonsense."

"It doesn't matter." Hoshino Ai said seriously, "Makino is not a serious person anyway."

"Cough cough cough." Gao Feng Sanae was shocked by her words.

"Really?" Mai Watanabe asked, pressing her body on the table.

Makimura Taku took a sip of water and said, "That's not the case."

While chatting, Ritsuko Ninomiya came back from the bathroom, and Mai Watanabe proposed to everyone again that they should create an exclusive account for B Komachi.

"B Komachi's..." Ritsuko Ninomiya murmured.

"Exclusive account?" Hoshino Ai continued.

"What do you want to put on it?" Only Takamine Sanae questioned her.

"Don't question it." Mai Watanabe made a pause gesture, and Sanae Takamine clicked her tongue.

"It's probably like a public account of an idol group." said Taku Makimura.

"That's right." Mai Watanabe raised a finger. "This account is operated by the entire B Komachi. Everyone can post something on it!"

"It sounds good..." Ritsuko Ninomiya could probably imagine it.

Hoshino Ai looked at him with admiration: "Watanabe, I like this idea! You are so smart."

"Hehe." Watanabe Mai felt a little embarrassed by her praise.

"Not bad." Takamine Sanae commented indifferently.

"It has nothing to do with me, right?" Since it was B Komachi's account, Makimura Taku felt that he should have nothing to do with this matter.

"No no no."

"Ok?"

"You are the group's favorite!"

After Watanabe Mai said this seriously, everyone present remained silent.

More than ten seconds passed.

"That sounds good," said Ritsuko Ninomiya.

"Watanabe, I like this idea!" Hoshino Ai praised, "You are a genius!"

"Not bad." commented Sanae Takamine.

"..."

"The account name is B Komachi official?"

"I don't think so."

"What about 'B Komachi's beautiful girls and their group favorites'?"

"Cough cough."

"B Komachi forever!"

"It seems okay..." said Ritsuko Ninomiya.

"The password of the account is 45510!"

"Huh? Why?"

"Takamine, Ninomiya, Ai, Watanabe!"

"What about Makimura?" Hoshino Ai asked.

"Group favorites don't count!"

……

It was past ten in the morning, and there were no new customers in Starbucks, except for Koizumi Hanami and the other three who were leisurely sitting at the front desk.

"Did you guys see it?" After browsing on his phone for a long time, Hideki Nishida looked up and asked everyone:

"The production team of Today's Idol suddenly announced a temporary decision when the talent show was about to start in a dozen days. Now the whole show has become a hot topic!"

Teramoto Maki glanced at him, looked away, and said uninterestedly, "I don't understand these."

"Well, I guess you don't understand either," Nishida Hideki twitched his eyebrows and took two steps towards Makimura Taku, "Makimura-kun, you should have seen it, right? That topic."

"Not yet." The topic came up this morning, and Makimura Taku hadn't checked his phone yet. Besides, he rarely checked Twitter. "What happened to that show?"

"You don't know?" asked Nishida Hideki, then he leaned back with his hands on the table and explained slowly:

"The production team is crazy. According to the previous talent show process, the focus was only on the contestants' singing and dancing abilities, but today they announced that they will also test their acting skills.

"Think about it, everyone is here to be an idol, who has ever trained in acting? Besides, even if they were going to compete, they should have announced it long ago. Now there are only a dozen days left and they suddenly announced it. The comments and reposts on the topic have exploded."

"Being scolded?"

"Of course there are people who are scolding," he spread out his hands with some emotion, "I had the same reaction as you at first, and even thought the production team was angry. But when I clicked on the trend, I saw that there were just as many positive comments as negative ones."

"Is this so?"

"Although it's not very friendly to the contestants, most of the audience are here to watch the fun. The more uncertain factors that can affect the results, I think the more people will like it."

"…Um, 'Starting to Become an Idol from Today'?" Koizumi Hanami, who had returned to the front desk, heard the conversation between the two.

Nishida Hideki looked at her: "Yeah, Koizumi, did you see it too?"

"Well... I know a little."

"Anyway, this is really an exaggerated decision made by the production team."

"Yes." Koizumi Hanami nodded.

"What's the big deal?" Teramoto Maki, who was operating a coffee bean grinding machine a little further away from the three people, interrupted, "How can we get attention if we don't do this? The program team, idols, voice actors, and actors all rely on this to make a living."

"That being said, don't you think it's unfair to some contestants?" said Nishida Hideki. "If someone has been specially trained in acting, they can easily crush other contestants and get high scores in this section, right?"

"There's nothing we can do. Competition is inherently cruel," she said calmly.

"It seems hard to deny!" Koizumi Hanami seemed frightened.
