The Guy Who Messed Up Is Gradually Doing His Best - Chapter 104: Volume III

On that day, as the New Year began, a great shock reverberated throughout Japan.

The first male idol group, “Shining Boys,” has made their media debut.

The “Shining Boys” is a group of four tall and handsome men, all 17 years old. They are one year older than me.

“Everyone, my name is Aiki, nice to meet you.”

With a refreshing smile and a wink, Aiki captivates.

“I’m Kaiki. Nice to meet you.”

With his tanned skin and long hair, Kai is giving himself a thumbs up. He seems to be confident in himself.

“I finally got to meet everyone. I’m Saiki. Nice to meet you!”

With both hands spread wide, the baby-faced Saiki gives a smile that endears him to people.

“It’s Taiki. Nice to meet you.”

With sharp eyes and few words, Taiki looks like a slightly intimidating handsome guy.

Those four are riding colorful skateboards, running across the screen, and singing a bright and upbeat song.

Sometimes they would jump up (probably using telekinesis), then dance in the air, showcasing horizontal and vertical spins, thrilling the audience and captivating TV viewers.

Even while singing, their acrobatic movements entertain the audience, which is very idol-like.

“Wow.”

The children of Kaori’s relatives were watching TV together as they also looked happy with their eyes sparkling.

This is an event from the New Year’s traditional live broadcast program “New Year! Show Off Your Best Skills.” It’s a variety show where popular idols, comedians, singers, and athletes appear and showcase their special talents.

The first shrine visit of the New Year? We went for our first shrine visit of the year right after the new year (in the middle of the night) with the whole Nohara family. After that, we took a short nap, and then our relatives, Takako, and the others woke us up and dragged us in front of the TV.

The first shrine visit of the New Year was really crowded, so there are probably a lot of people who are sleep-deprived today. I’m sleep-deprived too. I’m in the mood to just relax and take it easy.

One reason might be that many people I casually exchanged MAIN addresses with sent me “Happy New Year” messages right after midnight, making it difficult to reply.

——Oh… so these people are the ones.

Since it was a popular New Year’s program, the male idol group that appeared without any prior notice captivated the viewers (women), but I had already heard about it from Akane-san.

The danger of having only one black point. That’s why the Saijou Group plans to nurture male idols in the future. It was around the time I was introduced to Mil-san. That’s also why Akane-san has been looking busy all the time.

By the way, when Akane-san says “the only black dot,” she means me. In reality, there’s also Sawakaze-kun, so it’s not really a black dot… Maybe it’s Akane-san’s way of joking that one or two doesn’t make a difference.

But there are also strange points. According to what Akane-san told me, the man they are currently raising had a loose physique, so it was supposed to take some time…

“It started with a sudden surprise entrance, but it was so cool… How was it for everyone watching on TV? They were cool, right…?”

Watching them on the TV screen, they are being interviewed by the MC, showing off their well-toned bodies and charming smiles that are likely to appeal to women. The MC conducting the interview is also beaming with a broad smile, looking very pleased as they talk.

——It’s amazing how they turned it into something so quickly.

Akane-san recruited a man who was enjoying online games solo. Four men, all one year older than me. They didn’t show any interest in money or women, so it seems she managed to get along by providing them with game avatars.

I was also asked to show my video and avatar to prove the high quality, and while they said, “That’s amazing,” they really clung to me for a while, which was tough. But they don’t join parties. “I’m not that weak.” I haven’t used it myself because it disrupts game balance and isn’t fun, but solo male characters can use the stream mode. So there’s no need to form a party… but it’s also a problem when they start hunting monsters around us. Well, there are quite a few solo players (male players) like that, so there’s no point in worrying about just them.

Akane-san said there was no problem at all, but it seems like they will have to appear in games and manga as rewards for their entertainment activities in the future, in addition to monetary compensation. That sounds tough. But just a little, no, quite a lot, I envy them too.

—— “Taketo-kun…”

I suddenly remembered Akane’s words.

—— “The group name has been decided. ‘Crazy Green Tea’. What do you think?”

The idol group name that Akane-san mentioned was “Crazy Green Tea,” a name that makes me question their sense of style.

The “Shining Boys” wave their hands widely and disappear from the screen.

Hey, isn’t that the idol group “Crazy Green Tea” that Akane-san’s talent agency is nurturing? What on earth is this group… Did they change their name? I’ll ask Akane-san later.

“‘Shining Boys’ was so cool~”

The children quickly brought out an old-fashioned skateboard they had found somewhere, held a paper microphone in one hand, and started imitating the Shining Boys, but their singing was casual and a bit funny.

“Don’t ride your skateboard in the room. Go to the garden!”

“Yes.”

Well, everyone was quickly scolded by their aunts and obediently headed to the garden.

“Geez. Taketo-kun is going too.”

The children were excitedly heading towards the garden as they turned back halfway when they saw I wasn’t following and tugged at my sleeve. I’ve been thinking since yesterday, but the relatives’ children don’t call me “big brother.” It’s fine, though.

“Me too.”

“That’s right.”

“Taketo-kun too.”

“Let’s play together.”

The child is so cute that I can’t refuse. Besides, it’s something I’ve been practicing all the time, so I was a bit restless. I decided to just go along with it.

“Taketo-kun, let’s do it too.”

“Go ahead, go ahead.”

“Alright, just a little then.”

When I stepped into the yard, the kids immediately started calling for me to join in, so I decided to go along with it enthusiastically.

When I imitated the airtime with a 50% increase, it was a big hit with Takako and the others, and they were quite pleased.

——Oh, everyone seems happy.

And then I realized. There is a part of me that enjoys entertaining and bringing joy to others.
