The Popular Beautiful Idol, Who Suddenly Announced Her Secret Love Relationship and Retired, Is My Girlfriend - Chapter 3 - With a Bang!

Chapter 3 – With a Bang!

“But even if I didn’t announce it now, I think people would have found out that we are dating eventually.”

“Why?”

“The media is scary, don’t you know? You don’t know where or what they’re taking pictures of, and celebrities don’t have privacy.”

Futaba frowned while flailing her hands.

“It’s what they call the mass media, you know?”

We often hear that celebrities don’t have private lives. It is inevitable that you will not know when, where, or by whom you are being watched, as soon as your face is known to the public.

Even if you’re careful not to be noticed, it’s often said that the media sees through everything.

“That’s why I thought it would be less damaging if I quit on my own before it was exposed!”

Futaba insisted.

“Well, I guess quitting on your own terms might have slightly less damage than being exposed in a scandal… but in the end, it might not make that much of a difference.”

Because the type of shock is different, after all.

In any case, the focus of the problem would come down on Futaba.

“Is that so~? Personally, I feel it’s a billion times easier for me to announce it on my own than being exposed~”

“I guess Futaba is like that, me too actually.”

Even so, it’s not something you do so suddenly.

There should have been some cushion or preparation before making such an announcement. Maybe it would’ve been better to do it together.

If I had been informed more in advance, I would have had time to think about the future actions, but now that it’s been announced, there’s no time to think anymore.

Instead of simply going with the flow, it’s more like I have no choice but to struggle.

“For now, I’m planning to hold a retirement press conference and explain everything there.”

“Oh, you’re having a press conference?”

“Yeah, my manager told me to do that, so I had no choice.”

Then, she took out her smartphone from her bag and showed me a certain screen.

The conversation with the manager that had taken place just two hours ago was displayed there.

[Futaba-chan, will you reconsider your retirement?]

[No, it’s impossible.]

[There are many ways to continue being an idol even if you have a boyfriend. The number of fans may decrease a little, but there are many people who want Futaba-chan to continue as an idol!]

[I don’t care about the fans. As long as I have my boyfriend, I don’t need status or fame.]

[Reconsider it, please!]

[Please give up.]

“…That’s harsh, Futaba.”

“It’s because my manager keeps insisting that I reconsider~. I’ve thought this through and I have no intention of going back.”

Futaba sighed, stretching herself tall.

“So, I’ll declare it with a bang at the retirement press conference!”

“With a bang? Declare what?”

“That I won’t want to cater to creepy fans, I’m devoted to Kani-kun only!”

“That’s going to cause a huge backlash, you know?”

Saying something like that will undoubtedly stir up a storm.

Fans might go berserk, leading to a massive panic.
