I Became the Manager of the First Galactical Idols novel Chapter 5

Before heading to Sanae's and Risa's place, I visited my friends, who I remembered had a Huma. We all lived in the same apartment block, so it wasn't much of a detour.

Once I arrived at one of my friend's, I rang the bell by pressing the button on the panel next to the door. A tornado whirled in the room for a while before he finally opened the door. He hid behind it.

"What's up?" he panted.

"Hey. I just wondered if you still had that Huma—"

He took his arm out to shut my mouth with his hand.

What's wrong with him? Wait, is he naked?

"Not now, I'm busy," he whispered.

Unable to speak, the voice of a woman came from inside the room.

"Who is it? It's another one of your lovers, isn't it?"

A woman?! Since when is he popular with women?! And he put his hand on my mouth!

"No, sweetheart! I'm coming back already!" he shouted in fear. He moved his hand away from my mouth. "I'm sorry, come back another day."

"Sure. Sorry for interrupting."

Not even saying goodbye, he shut the door. If he was busy, why did he answer the door in the first place? I guess I'll go to my second option.

I walked to the neighboring apartment and rang the bell on the panel. He opened it in no time.

"Kaito. What brings you here?" he smoothly asked with his deep voice.

His teeth are shining as always. And his voice is always nice to hear.

"Tomokazu, do you still have those Humas—"

He shushed me. "Come in."

I stepped inside and he closed the door behind me. Even though he was a handsome gentleman on the outside, once you got on his side, he would show you his true self.

Bodypillows of many characters filled his bed and floor. Posters not appropriate for public TV covered the walls. Countless figurines furnished the shelves. And, what was important for me, three Humas that were projected from the floor into two beautiful ladies and a rather good-looking fellow.

He's new.

"I told you not to talk about that stuff in public," he said as he sat on his bed. "Is there something I can do for you, dear friend?"

"Yes. Can I talk to your Humas for a minute?"

He seemed confused. "Sure."

"Thanks!"

I approached the Humas. The three of them stood together near the window, looking at me with a lovely smile. Except for the guy, who had a piercing glare.

Who am I to judge?

"Just don't ask them anything about me," Tomokazu said.

"Noted."

That'll be for the best.

"Hello," I greeted the girl in the middle.

"Hi!" she joyfully replied. "Are you Overlord's friend?"

"I am. How are you?"

"I'm great! Overlord is always caring for me. We always play—"

Tomokazu—aka, Overlord—coughed as if he was dying.

"Oops. Looks like he doesn't want me to talk about it," she smirked.

Good. I prefer knowing nothing.

"Can I ask you something?" I wondered.

"You already did."

"Another thing."

"Oh. Sure, go ahead."

"What do you think of these two?" I glanced at the Humas standing beside her.

"It would be weird having an opinion about them. I only care for Overlord."

"I see. What about you two? What do you think about her?" I asked the Humas.

"I'm only interested in Overlord," the other girl said.

"I don't care," the guy answered.

Just as I supposed.

"Thanks, Tomokazu."

"Was that everything?"

I nodded. "I'm working on my final project. I'm sure you'll love it."

"Now I'm intrigued."
