I, Tomoya Aki, am not a bootlicker

Worried, Aki Tomoya decided to follow.

It has been at least half an hour since I left home, and the two policemen who came because of Aki Tomoya's call have already arrived.

The police who were called by Tomoya Aki from a nearby police booth also arrived at the scene quickly.

Three policemen directly pinned the man dressed as a security guard at the door to the ground and interrogated him.

After confirming that it was safe, Tomoya Aki walked out of the corridor and planned to see how his cousin Michiru Hyodo was doing.

"Please open the door. We are the police. The suspicious person has been controlled by us. You are safe!"

However, except for Himekawa Tokino, no one dared to move at this moment, as if they were not sure whether the people outside were real police officers.

"Michiru, it's safe now. The murderer has been caught by the police. Open the door quickly!"

It was not until Tomoya Aki's voice was heard that Michiru Hyodo and the other girls in the dormitory breathed a sigh of relief.

"Didn't you say you would call me right away? Why didn't you call me? I was so scared!"

As soon as I opened the door, I was greeted by the complaining voice of Michiru Hyodo, who was about to cry.

In response, Aki Tomoya was very sorry, he forgot about it because he was too anxious to find the police.

At this moment, the door next to their dormitory in the corridor opened, and several people from the TV station came out, took out their credentials and explained the situation to the police at the scene.

"Sorry, we are TBS's Human Observation, this is a misunderstanding, he is actually our staff!"

Someone from the TV station?

Except for Himekawa Tokino who knew the inside story and laughed awkwardly, everyone else was confused.

The people from TBS explained for a long time before the police believed that this was a prank on the variety show Human Observation.

Because of a prank, the three policemen were worried and didn't dare to take it lightly. They also said a few words afterwards, asking people not to scare people and make them work so hard.

For this, Akitomo and others also have to apologize to the police.

"Don't worry, Mr. Policeman, we will publicize your heroic actions for the safety of the citizens!"

It was the people from the TV station who were good at talking that eased the resentment of the three policemen. They then reported the situation in full, explaining that it was a misunderstanding.

After figuring out everything, Tomoya Aki looked helpless. He was so anxious about his cousin Michiru Hyodo that he even rushed over to find the policeman on duty in the nearby police booth for help. It turned out to be the TBS variety show Human Observation. At this moment, his mood was extremely complicated.

But it’s okay, he didn’t know about it and the police didn’t blame him. His complaints were mostly directed at the people in the TV station.

But the most important thing is that everyone is fine, and it doesn’t matter if it’s a tiring trip.

"It's actually a TV show..."

Michiru Hyodo looked annoyed, then looked at the traitor among them.

Himekawa Tokino turned her head away stiffly, not daring to look at the other three members.

Finally, she said to Aki Tomoya sheepishly, "I'm sorry!"

"Why are you apologizing to me? Just be okay."

Aki Tomoya shook his head. It didn’t matter whether it was a prank or not, as long as the person was safe.

He wasn't angry at the moment, he just thought the TV station was really calm and waited until the police showed up and held the man down before coming out to explain.

Afterwards, the TBS people interviewed the three members who were being observed about their feelings. In front of the camera, no matter how dissatisfied they were, they had to endure it at the moment. They knew what to say and what not to say. Their agents had taught them that they had to leave a good impression on the people in front of the TV.

Michiru Hyodo was also asked about her relationship with Tomoya Aki, and she was kindly reminded to explain their relationship clearly. After all, they are both artists who have debuted for some time and have accumulated a lot of fans.

"He is my relative in Tokyo, studying at the University of Tokyo. Fortunately, he helped me, otherwise I would have been scared to death."

Michiru Hyodo remembered the rules of the agency, which prohibited her from interacting with the opposite sex. She had to use this as an opportunity to explain it clearly, otherwise she would be scolded by her agent again.

When people encounter danger or emergency, it is reasonable to ask relatives for help, right?

And to be honest, after being tricked, Michiru Hyodo felt a little unhappy.

TBS also wanted to interview Tomoya Aki as the uncertain factor in this prank, he just casually said a few words about how worried he was, and then asked them to censor him!

The police also cooperated in front of the camera and said that if they really encountered such a thing, they must call the police immediately.

After the TBS people left, Himekawa Tokino immediately began to explain.

"My agent told me not to tell anyone. She said this is TBS's Human Observation. If we can be on the show, it will be of great help!"

Himekawa Tokino was ready to be beaten.

Although this variety show is a prank, it is very popular and famous in Japan.

According to the agent, it would be a great honor to be able to appear in this movie.

Although this arrangement was only told to Himekawa Tokino in advance, the agency also wanted to increase their popularity. However, this did scare the other three.

"I don't care about that. That guy will definitely accuse me of contacting someone outside later!"

Michiru Hyodo said with gritted teeth that their agency was so strict that even contact with the outside world was controlled, especially the repeated prohibition of dating, so having contact with the opposite sex was also a taboo.

Although they want to pursue the path of being talented, the agency has currently arranged an idol style for them.

"You guys in the entertainment industry really have so many tricks!"

An Yilun couldn't help but complain, then rubbed his eyes.

He took a taxi from home directly to Bunkyo District. He no longer wanted to say anything about feeling sorry for his wallet. As long as he was okay, it was good.

"It shouldn't be a big deal if you explain to your agent that we are relatives. Besides, no one will say anything about you for causing this. It's getting late, so I'm leaving now."

"Hey, are we leaving now?"

"Why, are you so frightened that you can't even sleep?"

When Tomoya Aki noticed the frightened look in Michiru Hyodo's eyes, he understood.

He seems carefree on weekdays, but when encountering something like this, he would be scared out of his wits.

Chapter 281 Can I afford to play or not (1/?)

The dormitory of ice.tail is not very big.

Living room, bathroom, bedroom, two double beds, and decorations they bought at their own expense.

The four members of the band lived together, which seemed a bit crowded.

However, as newcomers who have debuted for less than a year, they do not have to solve the problems of food, accommodation and transportation by themselves, which is already better than many underground artists.

Akitomo did not leave either. He stayed as a guest for a while and tried his best to comfort Michiru Hyodo who was still in fear.

Listening to their criticism of Himekawa Tokino, Aki Tomoya sighed inwardly.

"I don't want to either. Do you think I just like seeing you guys get scared? Or is it the agent's order? The agency only wants us to be on camera, and they don't care about our feelings at all!"

Himekawa Tokino couldn't help it anymore and yelled loudly.

Cameras can be hidden in their dormitories to film them. After all, this is one of the few places where they can let loose.

Being on a popular variety show is one thing, but being pranked is another.

Even though they were told they would appear on a famous variety show during prime time, they couldn't be happy.

It's true that I was scared after being treated like that.

However, in front of the camera, he could only pretend not to care.

"Do you think this prank is too much?"

Tomoya Aki sat on the tatami, carefully looking at the expressions of Michiru Hyodo and the others.

The unhappy mood was clearly shown on each of their faces.

Especially Himekawa Tokino, who was the traitor, felt very aggrieved at this moment.

I still remember their somewhat uneasy expressions when the TV station took away the hidden cameras in the dormitory more than ten minutes ago.

After the people from the TV station and the police left, several girls and Tomoya Aki helped to carefully check every corner of the dormitory inside and out, and only then did they truly breathe a sigh of relief.

And what had they done in the past hour or so?

Without being informed, they thought they had encountered a wanted murderer and were scared to death, like a group of rats huddled in a corner, making people laugh.

In Japan's entertainment industry, they are not the only ones who have been pranked, it's just that the degree of prank varies.

"If you think it's excessive, just say it. There's no one else here anyway, and it won't be shown on camera, so that some people will think you're squeamish and can't even stand this little bit of injustice."

Seeing them all pursing their lips and not saying anything, An Yilun knew that they were all feeling aggrieved about something.

If you encounter something like this, don't be really scared. It is impossible for them to be comforted just by the fact that they appeared on a popular variety show, which does not depend on the occasion.

"How can I not be angry? Anyone would be upset if they were treated like this!"

Hyodou Michiru spoke now.

The real entertainment industry is very different from what she imagined.

Here she can step onto a bigger stage, but she won’t be as free as before while pursuing her musical dream.

The strict management of the firm, the servility to seniors, the fear of making mistakes, and then having to laugh even when being tricked, the hypocrisy here is more hypocritical than anywhere else.

But if you want to talk about the truth, it is really true.

As for routines, there are countless of them.

This is definitely not the first time that ice.tail has been pranked by a TV program, and it certainly won't be the last.

It's just that this time the accumulated resentment has begun to leak out.

After all, it's not easy down there.

Then they all started complaining, saying how difficult it was.

"After all, it's not the time when Iori helped you find a live.house."

Aki Tomoya's words made the dormitory quiet again.

When I was performing at live.house before, I didn’t have to consider so many things.

At that time, thanks to the relationship with Iori Hatima, it was easy to find a live house for them to perform.

ice.tail was quite free at that time.

It was also thanks to their performance in live.house that they were spotted by scouts from the agency.

I signed a contract with the agency, received systematic training arranged by the agency, then made my debut, released my first CD, and appeared on TV shows. It seemed like everything was going well.

but……

Is this really a good path to choose?

At the beginning, I was so excited about pursuing my dream of music and becoming a big star, but becoming a big star is extremely hard.

Small artists have no say.

"You all look as if you've eaten bitter melons. Do you want to give up?"

Aki Tomoya sighed slightly.

When he first heard that Michiru Hyodo had signed a contract with a formal agency, he was also worried.

Whether you can adapt is one question, whether you can persist is another question.

If you can't change the environment, you will be changed by it.

"I'm not going to give up. I have a fan club website, my first CD, and I've been on TV. I'm not going to just turn around and say I'm quitting!"

Michiru Hyodo still has some ambition.

She is not someone who will just accept things as they come. As a person with aspirations and ideals, she doesn't want to die halfway.

"Of course. I guess you can't run away even if you want to. Do you have the money to pay for the breach of contract?"

Tomoya Aki gave Michiru Hyodo a cold look and said something that was extremely heartbreaking.

Want to run?

Have you asked the firm?

Running away requires more than just having two legs, it also requires money.

Without Michiru Hyodo and the others explaining, Tomoya Aki could guess what the contract signed by these newbies was like.
