Nanaya looked at the girl standing on the stage.
Nanaya was attracted from the first time the other party came in.
Don't get me wrong, it's not that his crotch is itchy because the other person is so beautiful.
Even though the other person is really beautiful.
Judging from her height of 1.65 meters, she is not particularly tall, but it is just right compared to the other person's slender figure.
The girl is also very beautiful, with a beautiful oval face and a high nose bridge with obvious Western characteristics.
But her expression seemed very lively, especially her big mouth opened because of her smile, which allowed people to see her cute little fangs at a glance.
The long pink hair was tied into a braid at the back of her head, which made the girl look more youthful and energetic.
Maybe because she is too slender, the girl always gives people a hopping feeling when she walks.
But this actually makes her legs look even more eye-catching.
And the black suspenders, black stockings and crimson high-heeled boots...
Cough cough.
In short, at first sight alone, this girl attracted most people's attention.
Even Akimoto Yasushi, who was already a little tired, felt his eyes brighten, and his broad back became much straighter.
Of course, Akimoto is not only interested in the other person's appearance, he pays more attention to the other person's lively and cheerful personality.
After all, many celebrity agencies don't like girls who are too noisy, but for idols, this kind of personality is actually a plus.
After all, what idols sell is a kind of character setting, and usually this setting is either inherent to the girls themselves or deliberately added in post-production operations.
Generally speaking, the former is easier than the latter. After all, things that are not your own will always appear unnatural, and there is also the risk of being exposed.
After all, Japan's entertainment industry is not like Hollywood, and the techniques for creating personalities are not very mature.
Hollywood is the entertainment industry where people really create their own personalities. Almost all stars will be labeled and then managed by their agencies after entering this circle.
Of course, Hollywood does this not only to make stars more marketable, but also to better control them.
Every year in Hollywood, there are stars who are criticized for the collapse of their image.
Except for a few that were exposed due to poor acting, most of them were caused by disagreements between the stars and their agencies or film companies, and then were deliberately exposed.
All we can say is that beneath the glamorous shell of the entertainment industry, there is nothing but naked profit.
Akimoto certainly knows the consequences of the collapse of one's personal image, especially since there are some neurotic people among Japan's idol fans who particularly like to dig into the privacy of idols.
If they find out that their idols are manipulated, they will feel like they have been fooled and will continue to go to 2CH to criticize them.
These guys are omnipresent. Who knows if there are any special talents among them.
For example, a stalker can accurately locate an idol by looking at the reflection of his pupils in his selfies.
After dealing with idol fans so many times, Akimoto naturally understands what these guys think.
When he was working on AKB, he had already consciously reduced the idea of operating and shaping characters, and began to look for more natural girls.
For example, the one in front of you.
"She's a very interesting girl. She should be a good rough stone." Akimoto suggested to Lin.
Rin glanced at a certain man and said unhappily, "Yeah, that man's eyes were fixed on her."
"What? No."
After hearing what Lin said, Nanaya, who had been staring at the stage, immediately came back to his senses and shook his head repeatedly to deny it.
"I just think this girl looks familiar." Nanaya replied, touching his nose.
"Huh, isn't this just an excuse for men to flirt with you?"
Obviously, Nanaya's explanation did not satisfy Rin.
"…"
Nanaya didn't know what to say because everything he said was true.
Despite the presence of Akimoto, Nanaya still decided to participate in the final selection in person, just to see if there are any girls like Rin or Lily.
But he never expected that he would see Astolfo here!
Which world line is wrong that would allow this precious beast to participate in the selection meeting of a girl idol group? !
From the beginning, Nanaya has been checking the gender of the pink-haired cat on the table.
Unfortunately, Nanaya had no way of telling the other person's gender no matter what he did.
The other person has a flat body but no Adam's apple.
Just like with Ori, it is impossible to tell what kind of person this candidate is from his appearance.
However, the expression on Nanaya's face as he stared at the other person was completely misunderstood by the other judges.
"Hey, big brother, do you like pigtails?"
Yumi-chan looked at her hair.
[Would you like to try changing your hairstyle? ]
Ryan was a little angry. She warned him directly: "Kiryu, are you worthy of the Wettin family with such perverted behavior?!"
"I'm not. I don't."
Nanaya felt that he really didn't know how to explain it, so he could only wave his hands repeatedly.
"Well, everyone is here to see girls."
Akimoto explained in a low voice, and then he said to the girl on the stage: "Come and introduce yourself."
"Bonjour! My name is Astolfo Quill! And then... Anyway, please take care of me!" (?ω?)
The pink-haired girl on the stage made a rabbit hand gesture and winked at everyone.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Akimoto felt like stars flew out when he blinked.
[Puff----]
Nanaya sprayed it out directly, and he coughed hard to cover up his embarrassment.
[Astolfo Star-Lord, are you a collection of fools?! ]
"…"
Akimoto was a little embarrassed. He thought the other party would say a few more words, so he kept waiting for him to finish speaking.
After all, the other person seems so energetic and talks a lot.
However, after saying this, the other party stopped talking and just looked at the audience with great interest.
This made Akimoto feel very embarrassed.
[She doesn't seem to have a bad personality, does she? Why did she shut up? ]
"That's all?"
Akimoto asked another question.
The creature that looked like Astolfo knocked his head and said, "A no, I have so much to say and I don't know where to start. So let you, the judge, ask me."
"We ask you questions?"
"Yes, yes. Come on, judges, please come over. I will tell you everything! Come on! Come on! I can't wait!"
The other party's silly look made many reporters laugh out loud, but Astolfo was not nervous at all. Instead, he smiled silly and waved to the reporters.
Nanaya was certain that this guy was really the idiot in his memory.
Akimoto was also surprised by Astolfo's behavior. After examining so many girls, this was the first time he saw this style.
And she doesn't look like she's pretending.
"So where are you from?"
Astolfo's Western face was so obvious that Akimoto had noticed it a long time ago.
"In terms of ancestry, I'm British, but I grew up in France." Astolfo tilted his head and said, "Oh, that's right. I live in Japan now, so I'm half Japanese. So, I'm of three countries?"
"…"
It was the first time that Akimoto saw bloodline being discussed in this way.
"So you're still in school now?"
"Yes, I'm studying in a junior college." Astolfo nodded.
"Aren't you worried about the conflict between idols and studies?"
"Not at all."
Astolfo proudly puffed out his flat chest.
"I would have failed the course anyway if I went to school."
[This is not something to be proud of.]
Akimoto Yasushi frowned slightly.
Although idols don't really care about grades, it's still a bit inappropriate to say it so openly.
After all, isn't this telling everyone that studying is useless and that you should just become an idol?
This is not a good thing for some sensitive parents.
"Well, you should give a talent show first."
Akimoto had no choice but to enter the next stage ahead of time, otherwise it would be bad if the pink-haired guy said something about not studying well.
It seems that Akimoto also noticed that Astolfo's brain was not working well.
When it comes to talent shows, girls are usually allowed to choose their own performances.
But generally girls choose either singing or dancing.
Occasionally, some girls choose to do stand-up comedy, but the results are very unsatisfactory. After all, being a comedian requires very strong skills, and these girls can't just practice a little bit and pass it.
But Astolfo is different. He said singing and dancing are too easy and he wants them all.
So he began to sing and dance on the stage.
But the song that Astolfo chose was problematic—it was the Rabbit Dance.
"left left right right go turn around go go go!"
Watching Astolfo performing very hard on the stage, the judges and media reporters below all had expressions as if they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
It was obviously a very funny thing, but seeing as this cute girl was performing very seriously and hard, everyone felt it was a bit rude to laugh out loud.
"The last time I was this embarrassed was at my birthday party two years ago."
Ryan said with a strange expression that she felt the atmosphere on the scene was really similar to when Lily sang "Happy Birthday to You".
"Okay, let's go here first."
Akimoto interrupted Astolfo's performance.
The Rabbit Dance song can be played in an infinite loop. Looking at how hard Astolfo is trying, I guess he will keep performing unless I tell him to stop.
"Can you do another variety show?" Akimoto added a question.
The rabbit dance alone is too simple, and there is no gain at all except knowing that Astolfo has a good voice.
"Um... Crow on a plane?"
Astolfo opened his arms and made a pose similar to the Golden Rooster Standing on One Leg.
This pose alone may seem a bit vulgar, but paired with Astolfo's delicate face it makes him look particularly cute.
"Puff!"
Nanaya couldn't help laughing, but he immediately covered it up by pretending to drink water.
"It really is Astolfo's characteristic." Nanaya sighed with a bit of a smile.
"Astolfo Quill is such an interesting girl, but...she has some problems with her brain."
Shiki nodded and concluded, her words were recognized by many people.
At this point, Akimoto was originally planning to end his review of Astolfo, but Nanaya asked a question out loud.
"Why did you join a girl idol group like Trier?"
Because there were reporters present, Nanaya didn't dare to ask too obviously.
As a result, Astolfo's eyes suddenly widened.
"Hey hey hey???! Is this a girl idol group?! I saw the poster saying whether or not to become a big star, and I thought it was a talent show for celebrities!"
Astolfo's words made everyone laugh out loud. They probably thought Astolfo was just a confused kid who had read the wrong poster.
But Nanaya was different, he finally confirmed one thing.
The gender of the pink-haired cat on the stage is not female, but Ori!
