The Popular Beautiful Idol, Who Suddenly Announced Her Secret Love Relationship and Retired, Is My Girlfriend - Chapter 8 - A Week Off

Chapter 8 – A Week Off

“Tsuyuzaki-san hasn’t arrived.”

I started to see glimpses of my classmates in the classroom, and it was almost the usual time for Futaba to show up.

Normally, she would be seated ten minutes before homeroom starts, but even after that time, Futaba was still not in the classroom.

“I mean, I guess everyone is talking about Tsuyuzaki-san after all.”

Talking voices can be heard everywhere.

Most of the stories are about Futaba’s retirement from being an idol and the fact that she had a boyfriend.

Her influence is truly remarkable.

If someone gets a boyfriend at school, it might create a buzz among friends, and if it’s a very cute girl, it might become a bit of a hot topic.

However, when it comes to popular idol Futaba, the entire class, if not the entire school, is filled with that discussion.

Well, I expected it to cause a lot of uproar, but seeing it like this is an amazing sight.

As I was thinking about this, the smartphone in my pocket vibrated.

“Hmm, I wonder who it is.”

I took out my smartphone and checked the screen.

“…………”

“Who was it from?”

“A-ah, it’s my friend.”

The sender was none other than Futaba, the center of everyone’s attention.

The content was, [If I go to school in the current state, it’ll be a disaster, so I’ll take about a week off from school. Even if I go after the retirement press conference, I think it’ll be tough… But it should be okay.]

It was sent to me along with a thumbs-up stamp.

This seems like the best solution.

It would be less damaging to stay quiet than to make moves that might cause problems.

Plus, the other party are high school students. They would undoubtedly ask questions without hesitation.

It’s probably a little better than the internet where you can anonymously spread your selfish thoughts, but even so, being told the same things in real life can still be mentally taxing.

[Anyway, can I drop by your house today? You don’t have a job anymore, right?]

When I sent it to Futaba, it was immediately marked as read.

[Sure~! Kani-kun can come here every day!]

[Then I’ll try to go every day when I can.]

[Yay! I love Kani-kun!]

The fact that her work is no longer an obstacle means we can spend a lot more time together.

…I have mixed feelings, but I’m happy.

When I first heard about her retirement as an idol, it was abrupt and confusing. However, after a day passed, considering the increased time with Futaba, it seems like the right decision.

“Let’s wait patiently. She’ll probably be here soon.”

I put down my smartphone and relaxed again on my seat.

“Yeah, you’re right.”

Uruma seemed to agree and quietly waited in his seat for Futaba to arrive.

However, no matter how much time passed, Futaba didn’t appear in the classroom.

It was 10 minutes later when the homeroom teacher said, “Tsuyuzaki-san will be absent from school for about a week due to her work.”
