The Case Where I, the Manager, Became More Popular After Standing on Stage as a Substitute for an Idol Who Got Injured Just Before the Live Performance

“Don’t mess around!”

“Bring Atsushi out!”

“Explain properly!”

Despite the members’ apologies, the atmosphere in the venue had heated up in a negative way.

Since any detailed information couldn’t be disclosed yet, it couldn’t be helped.

“So, is the makeup finished? It seems like we’re running out of time…”

“No, it’s not that we need to do makeup.”

I let out a sigh.

…

After the preparation by the makeup artists who were saying incomprehensible things was done, I took the microphone and went on stage.

The spotlight was on me as I stood in for Atsushi.

This is good. After all, it’s important to highlight the impurity of “Charlotte”, called ‘me’.

That way, the audience’s dissatisfaction would be directed at me.

As my face appeared on the large monitor behind me, the audience’s angry shouts abruptly ceased and the members looked at me with wide eyes.

It’s understandable, apologizing for them had always been my responsibility. Though, I haven’t experienced bowing my head in front of so many angry people.

Having dealt with numerous complaints as a manager for many years, I lowered my head deeply while striving for a polite apology.

“To all of our attendees, thank you very much for coming today despite the scorching heat. We sincerely apologize for the way things have turned out this time. If you inform the staff nearby, we will handle ticket refunds, so please feel free to leave. We will also calculate the transportation costs and make payments at a later date.”

First and foremost, it’s about addressing the current situation. It would definitely result in a huge loss, but I would manage to make up for it somehow.

“…However, if you would be willing to accept this performance, we will do our best to perform for you. We would be grateful if you could watch and support us. Thank you very much!”

Then all the members bowed their heads.

But a miracle happened!

Despite the previously enraged atmosphere in the venue, not a single person stood up to leave.

“Well then… May we start?”

We had given enough time for them to leave, yet no one moved from their seats. Instead, they were fixated on the monitors, which displayed all of us on the stage.

So, this was “Charlotte”, perhaps I had underestimated their popularity.

The fans were so captivated by them.
