“Emily, you know that I’d love to, but I agreed to help them.” You put your hand on top of hers. “I can’t continue with those two hanging on my mind.”
“We don’t need Vortexia to do something foolish…” Emily sighs. She agrees, she hates being sensible.
“She was the most insistent on One-on-One meetings.” You point out.
“You’re going with that? Can we check on them first before going through with any decisions?” Your secretary wants you to act sensible.
“I made a promise, Emily. But if it eases your nerves, let’s see how they are doing.” You agree to be cautious. You feel like this girl can easily convince you to do anything…
You two move back to the previous room! I-It’s freezing in here! Like a blizzard has come over and has taken over the room. The air-conditioner is working overtime.
“Hey, there you are.” A normal-ish Carol welcomes you two back to the room. She’s back fully clothed, including her hoodie. She’s <span class="mu-i">too</span> calm...
“We’ve been waiting for you. We were tired of watching movies.” The Clumsy idol is back to normal as well. No, you noticed a hint of heat under their cheeks. They still haven’t recovered from the Cake’s effects. “You two look fine, what a relief…” The evil idol clutches her heart. “I need all my fans’ support.”
“T-T-T-This place is c-cold…!” Emily tucks inside the bed like a blanket demon. You follow her.
“Yeah, we’re chilling so our brains don’t get cooked.” The comfy Carol admits that was their plan all along. “One foot out of here, and we’ll melt way worse than ever before.”
“Yeah, I tricked her to go outside.” Clutz is capable of more evil than you thought. If anything, you imagined it’d be the other way around.
“I can’t believe you’re proud of tricking your superior like that. But yeah, we’re good otherwise.” Carol won’t let that slide despite not looking that upset about it.
“In essence, yes. Which means we need your help, Manager.” The relaxed Clutz states. “Mainly Carol, all I seek is a private meeting in due time.”
“Correct me if I’m wrong.” You clear your throat. “But you two don’t look normal to me.” They look like people who have a fever and are covered with too many blankets! It’s not good for you even if your body wants it!
“Eh… We know that we aren’t completely fine, but it isn’t the end of the world.” Carol doesn’t care. “Take this airhead with you first, if you want.”
“No, I insist. Second-rate idols like Carol need all the help in the world.” Vortexia chuckles haughtily. Why are they being nice?
“I-Is it wrong of me to think they are way worse than before?” Emily is shocked by the nonchalant attitude of the idols. She looks glad that you stopped where you did.
“We gotta help them.” You agree. This is eerie! It’s like imagining Scarlet rejecting ice cream! It doesn’t happen!
