Substitutes are not a problem

Chapter2

"It was a complete accident that I would step into the idol industry, um... a bloody and old-fashioned accident."

My name is Rina Araki Gena. This year, I am an ordinary third-year high school student.

Two months ago, an entertainment company recruited newcomers, and I accompanied a friend of mine to sign up.

Like all the clichés, the friend was not chosen, but I was caught by the company as an escort.

And the company later told me quite bluntly that there was only one reason why they fell in love with me on the spot - because of my face.

Although it sounds like showing off at all, this circle is so realistic, and beauty is justice.

I was not interested in debuting as an idol at all, this career just sounds tiring and troublesome, I just plan to go to university, find a job after graduation, marry an ordinary man and go on As an ordinary child-raiser, I naturally rejected the company's olive branch on the spot.

Then within two days I became really fragrant, although it was forced to be really fragrant.

When I got home that day, I found that the house was gloomy and full of sadness. It turned out that something happened to the male owner of the house.

Although I only met the male owner twice, one time was during the New Year holiday a year ago, the male owner came back for a week, and the other time when he adopted me three years ago, the male owner came back to go through the formalities... It is said that the male owner is quite busy with work, busy digging oil in Antarctica.

The supposed source is the mistress of the house.Although this kind of reason sounds very nonsense, it clearly shows that the man is doing something shady outside secretly, but... well, Ms. Nana, if you are willing to believe it, then I will believe it.

After all, it was you who took in me, a lonely soul with no relatives or even a past.

I am a person without a past, not that I popped out of nowhere, but that I have no memory of before the age of 15.

On a rainy night three years ago, at the gate of a family named Sawada, I fell there with a high fever all over my body.

I don't know what happened before this, my brain memory is blank after waking up, the first thing I saw was——

【Are you ok?If there is still something uncomfortable, please be sure to say it. 】

I will never forget that smile, which embraces everything like the sky, is peaceful and warm, the so-called healing smile is probably like that.

The person who picked me up, an unknown person, is called Sawada Nana, the mistress of the house, a full-time wife who has just passed [-] years old.Her husband works away all year round, and she and her son have always lived alone.

That man is big enough to leave his beautiful wife and young son at home like this, and Ms. Nana, is it really okay for you to just pick me up, a guy of unknown origin like this?

Well, but if it's Ms. Nana, it seems that everything is not a problem. Her tolerance and naturalness seem to be able to resist everything, and all the things that make people full of complaints come to her, it seems... all become reasonable?

And the reason why I can still know my name and age is because I wear a bracelet with the name "ArakiGenrina" and birthday engraved on the inside of the bracelet.

This bracelet is not very luxurious, but since I carry it close to my body, I must have cherished this bracelet before I lost my memory.

After learning that I was helpless with amnesia, the kind and natural Ms. Nana decided to take me in... Did you doubt me at all, really?

Not long after, the owner of the family named Sawada Iemitsu, who has been working outside all year round, finally hurried home to take a look after learning that his wife had suddenly adopted a child.

Although that man looked like a silly uncle, I intuitively felt that this man was not as simple as he looked, and he was suspicious and wary of me.

This is normal, or it should be, otherwise, if the three members of this family are so natural...the family may be ruined.

Mr. Sawada first offered to help me find my relatives. It is said that I asked a friend who works in the household registration department to search for me based on my name and date of birth...

It turned out that I came from a small remote fishing village in the countryside. A tsunami a few years ago destroyed the entire village. Later, the government’s rescue work missed me, and I became a missing person.And all my relatives were buried in that tsunami.

After learning of my tragic life experience, Ms. Nana burst into tears on the spot, and said that she would adopt me no matter what, and would never let such a poor and underage me continue to wander alone and helpless.

Mr. Sawada was a little hesitant to object at first.But I can feel that he doesn't reject the adoption or me personally, but has something else to hide.

Since he has a problem that he may even hide from his wife and children, I will naturally not expose it.

But in the end, he couldn't stand his wife's pleading.What's more, even the little angel's son, who is in the same line as his wife, also begged for it.

In short, in the end, I was adopted by this family, and I have been living in this quiet town called Namori near Kanagawa Prefecture on the outer edge of Tokyo.

My guardianship is in the name of Ms. Nana Sawada, who will be my guardian until the age of twenty.

And Mr. Sawada Iemitsu hurriedly left home to continue his oil digging work after finishing my adoption procedures. In the past three years, he only returned home once during the New Year holiday last year... Basically, it can be regarded as this time. People don't exist.

The past three years have passed well, and if I use one word to describe it, it would probably be quiet time.

This kind of peaceful life with a little happiness should be a normal life for most ordinary people, but my body instinctively cherishes it, as if it is a hard-won thing...so the past Me, how miserable is my life?

Anyway, I am content with my days now.Ms. Nana is naturally too good to say anything, but it’s not a big deal to say that she is a mother. It has nothing to do with the age difference between us, it’s just because I feel that my mentality is inexplicably very vicissitudes, not like the vicissitudes of a female high school student at all... More like a female high school student's mother, ha ha.

So I see Ms. Nana as, sister?Such a definition seems inaccurate, but no matter what, she is a very important relative to me today.

And Ms. Nana's son, Tsunayoshi-kun, who is five years younger than me, is naturally like a younger brother to me...

Although sometimes I still feel that I am more like taking care of my son.When I joined this family, Tsuna was just a ten-year-old elementary school student. When Ms. Nana was busy occasionally, she completely entrusted Tsuna to me to take care of her, and she entrusted her with confidence.

[I feel that Yuan Rina-chan is very skilled at taking care of children...so I feel super relieved to leave it to Yuan Rina-chan——]

Yes, why am I, a young girl, so proficient in raising children? What kind of strange place is my skill shining on?

Speaking of which, I unexpectedly debuted in the entertainment industry two months ago.When I got home that night, the family was gloomy and sad. Ms. Nana told me that she had just received a notice that Mr. Iemitsu had owed a huge amount of debt. If he did not pay off the debt immediately, Mr. Iemitsu would go to jail.

Good guy, Mr. Iemitsu, you don't usually stay at home, so you make such a big deal when you hear about it?Ms. Nana, are you really not considering divorce?

Although I thought it would be better to investigate this matter first.But Ms. Nana, who was anxious to save her husband, was already counting her belongings. After finding that all the bank deposits were still not enough, she even contacted the real estate agency to sell the house to save her husband.

In terms of the ability to act on family matters, I have no doubt that as long as someone bids for Ms. Nana, she will be able to sign a contract and sell the house the next day.

In order to prevent the situation from getting worse, I also said in a hurry that the little money that is still bad is okay, and there is no need to sell the house.

Yes, I thought of the olive branch that the entertainment company threw at me. The signing bonus that I got immediately after signing the contract can almost make up for the shortfall.

However, the day after I signed the contract...it turned out that Ms. Nana was scammed by a gang of habitual fraudsters, who were arrested and brought to justice.

And Mr. Iemitsu, who was in another corner of the earth, finally came to call to report that he was safe, saying that he was fine and was digging for oil in Antarctica.

But I have something to do, I just went to the entertainment industry in such a muddleheaded way, and I can't afford the huge liquidated damages in the contract.If I terminate the contract but can't pay the money, then I will really be in jail.

Of course, I won't tell Ms. Nana about this, otherwise, if Ms. Nana finds out... she will definitely sell the house the next day to pay me liquidated damages.

Let's let this house go, really, although I don't care if a family of three lives in a rented house or something, but Tsuna is still young.

I can only tell Ms. Nana that I suddenly decided to debut as an idol because of...love.But you don’t need to call me for support, really, thank you.

……

"Stop! When asked why you became an idol, how could you say it was because of some clichéd accident! How could an idol say such a thing!"

Yuan Rina just opened her mouth, but was interrupted by Kinoshita's manager sharply.

Kinoshita had angina on his face, the girl in front of him was like a mudslide in his glorious career.

Moreover, he still feels that it is a miracle that this person can suddenly become popular in the entertainment industry.

Ever since he made the idol group Backstreet Girl popular, he has been looking for the next newcomer with more potential and challenges.

When the company brought the newly signed Rina Araki in front of him, he thought he had finally met the long-awaited newcomer, but unexpectedly, this was a real challenge.

He specially arranged for her to be on the stage of Backstreet Girls' concert, let her debut as Backstreet Girls' junior sister, and gave her a starting point that was much higher than other newcomers.

The concert that day was pretty smooth, and Yuan Rina's performance was quite satisfactory, but at the moment when the performance was over and she was about to step off the stage, Yuan Rina's original standard idol expression changed instantly, ah, it's finally over, I really want to go back and go straight The fish lay flat, and the communal stockyards were full.

And that moment was captured by the camera, and instantly became a new generation of emoji in the idol circle.

But then there was a reporter who tried to squeeze into the backstage, stopped Minamoto Rina who was about to go home from get off work, and asked all kinds of questions.

Yuan Rina, who was prevented from getting off work, also gave up on facial expression management. Her big sapphire-like eyes drooped into dead fish eyes without highlights, saying that Mr. Reporter, your work should be over today. Why don’t you go back? Let us continue to work overtime together, and with a paralyzed and dejected face, he questioned his soul to the camera——

【You, do you like to work overtime? 】

As a result, this question of the soul instantly became popular on the Internet, and the frustrated idol Rina Minamoto became famous overnight, and unexpectedly blazed a new path like a mudslide in the energetic and cute idol world.

The support group was formally established the next day, and the soul of the support group is—【We don't like to work overtime, but we like to watch Yuan Rina-chan work overtime! 】

The company was naturally ecstatic about this, and Yuan Rina just wanted to pass out.

What is going on in today's neon society? Shouldn't she be cast aside as a salty fish who does not seek to make progress?

"Otherwise, what should I answer? Do you want to say that I debuted as an idol for love&peace?" Gena Rina lay down on the table, her mouth twitched in frustration.

Alas, she always has an inexplicable feeling that she was destined to be a social animal in her previous life... What is this called, about the fact that I continue to be a social animal after reincarnation?

The timeline of tutoring in this article is one year before the story begins (that is, the year before reborn came to Bingsheng). Tsuna is currently 13 years old and has just entered junior high school.

PS? Manager Kinoshita is the manager in Backstreet Girls... Because the original work seems to only give his surname, not his specific name, so let’s call him Kinoshita-kun.
