The Popular Beautiful Idol, Who Suddenly Announced Her Secret Love Relationship and Retired, Is My Girlfriend - Chapter 38 - Investment for the Future~

Chapter 38 – Investment for the Future~

“Isn’t it amazing? But what’s even more amazing is that almost all of that money goes to me~”

Futaba slurped up her saliva with a smile in her eyes.

“Getting richer when you’re already rich.”

“It’s dirty money though~ The money from the lawsuit, I mean.”

“I think idol money is a bit dirty too, from my perspective.”

“Well, that was just my job~ It’s a fact that I deceived people with a smile, though.”

Although I said it myself, that’s not a great way to put it.

Then again, all money in the world might be considered dirty in some way. (T/N: Oi, I didn’t expect this kind of conversation from a Japanese romcom novel!)

Well, in a sense, being an idol might be the best job because you can get paid just by putting on a smile.

From the perspective of someone who watched Futaba struggle through lessons and other jobs, dealing with fans, and so on, it doesn’t feel that way at all.

“I’m thinking of using that money to buy equipment and other things.”

“That sounds great. It seems like it will cost quite a bit, though.”

“I think it will cost roughly 2 million yen.”

“Eh, that much?”

“I’m thinking of buying all the latest stuff, and wouldn’t it cost 500,000 yen just to buy a computer? Ah, I’ll buy two, so it’ll cost 1 million yen~”

“You really don’t hold back when it comes to spending money.”

“This is an investment for the future~ Besides, I have money to spare.”

Futaba gave a thumbs up with a smug look on her face.

Indeed, I have heard that the higher the initial investment, the more money will come in later.

It increases work efficiency and motivation.

“Well then, let’s go shopping. When should we go?”

I asked while checking the calendar.

“Hmm~, how about this Sunday?”

“Okay, then four days from now.”

“We’ll go to specialty stores and check out everything~! Since it’s a hassle to carry everything back, we’ll have them deliver the items we won’t be using right away!”

“U-um!”

While we were talking while taking notes, Yuzuha raised her hand from the side.

“What’s up?”

Futaba asked, tilting her head slightly.

“C-can I come along too!?”

Yuzuha said, putting her hand on her chest.

I think it’s perfectly fine as long as she doesn’t become a nuisance, but I’m worried that she’ll cause a lot of trouble.

“Well, I think that’s fine. We need someone to carry the luggage.”

Despite my anxiety, Futaba answered easily.

This girl, she’s using people like pawns.

But it’s helpful to have someone to carry the luggage, and Yuzuha seems like she’ll do whatever Futaba tells her to do.
