The Case of Being Reincarnated as a Noble in a World with a Skewed Gender Ratio - 50

Chapter 50: You Will Take Responsibility, Right?

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“One~♪ Two~♪ Three!♪ Shota God! I’m sorry!~♪”

This was a story from when I was ten years old. I was listening to a record. yes, the one that was said to be invented by the famous Edison. Why was there a record in this world? That was because someone had created a record in this world. Of course, I wasn’t the one that made it.

Geniuses existed in every world after all. I only conveyed the basic principles that I knew and invention after invention was created and in turn, we were able to create a record player. Even though I only explained the basic concept of a disc craved with music and a needle, but the geniuses in this world were able to come up with an actual record player from just that. Amazing. 

Anyway, now that we had a record player in this world, I wanted to listen to music! Especially the music from my previous world! This was another world anyway, no one gave a damn about copyrights and all that!

And so, I headed to the capital with that in mind. Why the capital? Of course for recruitment. I needed someone that could sing that famous song. I actually already had someone in mind who might be able to sing that song. 

“So, would you like to become an idol?”

I said the famous lines from that anime. I used those words to persuade my target. 

“Do-Do-Do-Don’t say something that I don’t understand out of nowhere, El-kun! What do you mean by ‘idol’?”

“But Mimi! There’s no one else that fits the image of this song but you! Starting today, please become Shiraki Mimi! Please! I’m begging you!”

“What’s with that name? But first, explain what this is all about! From the beginning!!”

“Ah, you’re right…”

This girl was Mimi. She got lost when she was 3 years old. Tia and I helped in searching for his mother together. We had become close ever since then. Just like Tia and Lance, Mimi was like a childhood friend of mine. So… I knew that she was good at singing and she had the typical loli-like figure. Well, she was only 9 years old, so… But anyway, I spent a whole day explaining the concept of idol to her. I got a bit passionate midway, but I believed she should get the gist of it. 

“So-So… You want me to sing and dance in front of people… And then you have a machine that can play my songs over and over again?”

“Yeah! Basically, yeah!”

“IMPOSSIBLE!!IMPOSSIBLE!!IMPOSSIBLE!!IMPOSSIBLE!!IMPOSSIBLE!!IMPOSSIBLE!!IMPOSSIBLE!!IMPOSSIBLE!!IMPOSSIBLE!!”

“It’s okay! I believe in you, Mimi! You can do it!”

“Why do you have such blind faith in me?! I can’t do it!!”

“There’s a saying that goes… Where there’s a will, there’s a way!”

“That’s not true! That saying doesn’t exist! Where did you even get that ‘where there’s a will, there’s a way’ anyway?! That saying is too vague!!”

“But it has to be you, Mimi! There’s no one else but you that can do this! And…”

“And…?”

“Idol is a special existence! If you become the number one idol, your wish will come true!”

“Wish…?”

“That’s right! I’ve received His Majesty’s permission to grant your wish!”

“El-kun, I think you’re a bit too passionate about this idol thing, but…”

“But?”

“Being the number one idol? What does it mean? There’s no idol in this world though?”

“Don’t worry about that! I believe there will be more idols in the future! We will create an idol agency too! I want Mimi to be the first idol! Idol is… It can be said that it’s a profession that gives people dreams! That’s why… If you can become the number one idol, you can be granted a nobility title if you so wish! At least, that’s what I have in mind… Anyway! Once a year, we will have fan voting and surveys to determine who the number one idol of the years is, and then-“

“Once a year… So, if you become the number one idol of that year, your wish will come true?”

“Yeah, that’s the plan so far. I mean, of course, there are limits to the wishes that can be granted… You need to be realistic about it. But! Becoming a noble, money, that kind of thing can be granted for sure! Well, becoming a queen is impossible though…”

“What about marriage…?”

“Huh? Mimi, do you have someone that you like?”

“Eh-?! We-Well… I mean… Yeah….”

“I see… Honestly? I think we can do something about that. There shouldn’t be any problem.”

“Re-Re-Re-Re-Really?!”

“I mean, you will be the number one idol, you know? I doubt anyone would refuse your hand in marriage-“

“REALLY?? REALLY???”

“Leave it to me, Mimi! A man does not go back on what he’s said!”

“Well, a woman shouldn’t go back on what she’s said either… Anyway, I understand the gist of it. El-kun… I will do my best!”

“Alright! That’s the spirit, Mimi!!”

And so, in that year, the first idol was born. Her record discs were released. In fact, Mimi released three records. 

『Shota God Serenade』

『A Slightly Older Boy♡』

『I’m Sorry for Being Too Cute♡』

Needless to say, all of them were massive hits! Mimi became the number one idol of that year, the following year and even the year after that. My judgment was spot on. Choosing Mimi to become an idol was the right course of action indeed… And the song that I heard at the beginning of the story was her debut song, Shota God Serenade. 

Mimi received 3 wishes. So far, only one wish had been fulfilled. She asked to become a noble. The other two wishes were still in wait. I hadn’t asked what she wanted, but one of them was probably marriage. Now that her wishes had come true for real, more people aspired to become idols. I mean, I already expected this, but I guess… Maybe this idol thing went a bit overboard…? Sorry~ Tehe!~ ♡

“El-kun, when I turn 15, I’m going to retire as an idol. So… You know what’s going to happen after that, right?”

Mimi recently said so to me. I could understand the retiring part, but I actually wasn’t quite sure about the next part. Maybe she wanted to become an actress instead of an idol? Anyway…

“Of course! Leave it to me!”

I confidently said.
