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

The next morning.

I was completely exhausted from yesterday’s live performance that I slept like a log on the sofa in the office.

The mobile phone that had been placed close to my head began to ring loudly.

I answered the phone hurriedly, and I heard the voice of Kazuhiko.

“Hey, you idiot manager! It’s bad! Turn on the TV!”

“Did something happen again?! Understood, I’ll apologize immediately…”

“No way! You’re the one causing trouble this time!”

Without understanding what was going on, I turned on the TV in the office.

At that moment, the entertainment news started playing.

“Yesterday’s ‘Charlotte’ live performance has become a hot topic on the internet!”

“Huh? I-It’s amazing! To be featured on TV!”

As I happily expressed my delight, Kazuhiko let out a sigh.

“That’s not the point. Keep watching.”

“Okay…?”

As instructed, I continued watching the TV.

“What?! The mysterious ‘Charismatic Idol’ who appeared as a substitute created a whirlwind of excitement at the venue!”

Substitute? Mysterious idol…

Feeling a sense of uneasiness, I continued watching.

The reporter’s microphone was aimed at an audience who had attended the live performance.

“At first, when they said Atsushi wouldn’t appear, I thought, ‘Give us our money back!’ But then… this incredibly cool idol showed up and everyone was speechless!”

“Moreover, his singing was amazing, and his dancing was so sharp! It seemed like he knew everything about the members and his ad-libs were fantastic! Oh, uh, my nose is bleeding.”

Perhaps the camera couldn’t capture it, as the screen returned to the studio, and the flustered MC continued explaining in front of a flip chart.

“Since the mysterious charismatic idol didn’t reveal his name even at the end of the show, he is being referred to as the ‘Substitute Idol’ by the public, represented by the mathematical symbol ‘X’.”

After doing a quick search, I found that ‘Mysterious Idol X’ was trending at the top on social media, with numerous posts from enthusiastic fans.

I cautiously asked Kazuhiko.

“Um… could this possibly mean…”

“That’s right! You’ve become more popular! Our leader, Atsushi, is sulking and saying he wants to quit!”

I started sweating profusely, feeling overwhelmed.
