Please Dance with Me After Signing This Contract!
"Explain that grape-flavored jizz to me... what kind of nonsense is that."
Trusting another person is a difficult thing.
Even a small mistake can shatter that trust, and rebuilding it requires at least twice the effort for every error, or even quadruple.
That's why a trustworthy person holds real value, and those of value must be treated with utmost care.
"Haaaa... there are so many problems with this and that... huh?"
That's exactly what trust means.
And for Hye-won, Sunwoo was undoubtedly the 'trustworthy person.'
But...
**PANG!** **FUNG!** **PPUNG!**
"Reaction speed is dropping! Don't you block it straight!"
[The bad kids get punished!]
Sunwoo summoned an upper-tier spirit and mercilessly hurled mana bullets.
**CHIIIIIK!**
"Kuuugh!"
[Seeeee... boom!]
The fire spirit tried to block it, but in the end it was overpowered, and Yeon-hwa got mercilessly beaten.
Is this the relationship between an idol and a producer?
'So dedicated.'
But... yes.
I could understand up to this point.
Originally, Sunwoo was an awakener who wandered through dungeons.
So when teaching someone, he might get a bit intense.
However.
"Aah, Multi-ya! 11 o'clock direction! Sniper at 11 o'clock!"
[Peep?!?!]
The water spirit was summoned to move a controller with water droplets for an FPS game.
Even Hae-rin
"Hand."
"Nya!"
"Good cat! Good cat!"
"Nyaaaa~~♪"
[....nyaaaa?]
After putting her in a cat cosplay, he was trying to train it.
No matter how you looked at it, it was a ridiculous scene.
In my honest heart, I wanted to tell him right away to stop this dogshit, but Sunwoo's expression was far too serious for that.
An expression that showed no trace of attraction whatsoever.
Dealing with the opponent entirely as work showed that he was putting in 'sincere' effort.
Therefore, understanding, accepting, as the employer of this person, this person's antics──
"Huah?! Wait... there..."
"Ah, sorry. I unconsciously stopped."
──Wait a second!!"
Hye-won simply could not accept it.
Of course, it's forbidden to do lewd things in the training center.
***
"As the employer, I demand an explanation."
"President Hye-won. President Hye-won, you must fully trust me."
"I wasn't joking at all, okay?"
"...Um. Did I look that suspicious?"
I turned my head and looked at the Nature three.
"It's fine. This unnie won't get upset over something this petty?"
[Seeeee... boom.]
For some unknown reason, the fire lizard that was chittering 'seeboom' lately.
But its control was also improving, and now it could barely block the bullets, so I was pressing it to its limit.
"Multi. Let's eat chicken for sure today."
[Peep. Peep-peep.]
Sujin was gaming while wearing a headset with Samdasu.
As a water spirit contractor, the way she controlled water droplets without getting shocked was ranked first in potential among the three.
Was it because of her chest? Did the potential live in her chest?
**Pazzizizik!**
"No... this is mine! It's what the coach gave me!"
[Nyaaaaaaak! Nyaa! Shaaaaak!]
"I'm not giving it! I'll eat it all myself!"
[Nyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!!!]
Hae-rin had finally reached the point where she could spar with the thunder spirit.
Breaking free from the earlier 'cat mom' warnings, she was slowly showing her side as a spirit contractor, which I thought was a good choice.
"Are you all doing well?"
"From my eyes, it looks like they're doing great...?"
Hae-won's sigh of disbelief.
But for me, I had only presented training methods suitable for the children.
"Yeon-hwa learns faster through the body. The relationship with the spirit is also good. So, teaching by beating with the body directly is correct."
"I understand. But the other two, I can't explain."
"It's all eye-level education, that's what I mean."
For example, with Sujin.
"Why does the spirit listen to you at home but not outside?"
"...I don't know."
"Spirits resemble their contractors."
In simple terms.
"Kim Sujin is a person who doesn't like to work."
"What?"
"Right now she doesn't want to go out, but the spirit would follow that? She doesn't like working, so why would the spirit listen?"
Spirits respond sensitively to their contractor's will.
And a spirit with a self has answered Sujin's will like this.
"If you don't want to work, then I won't work either."
"...Where is there a person like that in the world?"
"Right there."
So, game consoles.
Things worth playing. Things worth enjoying.
"Therefore, no one can stop those who enjoy themselves. Looking at mana control alone among these three, she is the best. She has talent as a spirit contractor."
"Talent as a spirit contractor..."
"What does that mean? She wants to play with her dick no matter what."
"....hmmmm."
Seeing that, Hye-won crossed her arms.
"Then... what about Hae-rin?"
Why did Hae-rin suddenly become a cat?
Even walking on all fours, meowing, and eating the 'chiziziz' that was just given earlier!
Hae-won was screaming that this was an incomprehensible behavior that couldn't be understood by her own head.
I slowly looked at the ceiling and answered Hae-won.
"You... don't you know what kind of animal a cat is?"
"Huh? Well..."
"The world is the most arrogant bastard."
"...If you're going to answer, why did you ask?"
Ah. So adorable.
In front of others, it was the president mode, but in front of me, it was exactly the appearance from eight years ago.
'Wait. Maybe the villainess role is gone and she's become gentle?'
She seemed the same in front of people, but gentle in front of her own people, so I decided to think positively.
I picked up the glass on the table and took a light sip.
"Right now, Hae-rin can't control the spirit at all. She hasn't submitted, nor has she properly contracted with it."
In neither state nor the other.
For the cat, Hae-rin would look like a coin-op churro machine or can opener.
"If thinking of it as a pet, I can understand. But between spirit and contractor. So we can't end it here."
That's why I had her in cat cosplay.
The reason was simple.
"Humans can be treated as lowly can-openers, but don't cats at least look like cats?"
"...That means... right now...?"
"Yes."
To become equal to the cat, you need to become a cat.
At least, that's my conclusion.
"What a stupid... thing."
"Honestly, it's easier to break their head and then submit. But looking at it, that cat mom personality can't be changed."
Right away, when it jumped to save her from being shocked by lightning, was there anything to say?
All I could do was my best as she walked into her own suffering.
"So. Are you satisfied now?"
"...I'm sorry for doubting you."
"Even if you're the employer, what can I do?"
"Huuh..."
An inner reaction of being pricked.
Yes. If you have a conscience, you should feel guilty.
I raised the glass again and drank it cleanly.
"Then I'll stand up first? The training isn't finished yet."
"Ah, wait a moment."
"What now?"
"...Sorry, okay?"
An unconsciously gruff reaction.
Hye-won fidgeted with her fingers and soon took out a tablet from her bag.
"Since it's about time to schedule Nature's debut, you know."
The clothing was already ordered and the songs commissioned separately.
"So. Isn't there anything I can do for that part?"
"That... I think you should learn the choreography with us too."
"....?"
What kind of talk is that, Hye-won.
"We are Spirit Idols after all, right? So the spirits will dance on stage too, so we need a reference for how to use the spirits' power for the performance."
"That can be done with roughly CG, can't it?"
"There's a budget and deadline issue...."
"....Hye-won."
I didn't say I'd do the idol thing.
I said I wouldn't do anything that lacked plausibility.
I looked at Hye-won with rabbit eyes.
"Of course there won't be a stage performance! I'm just a manager for Spirit Idols! The job as a producer isn't that different from now, right?"
"Completely different! It's completely different! Even a contract violation this serious is criminal!"
In the end, are the kids just supposed to shake their butts and dance in front of everyone?
Hae-won shook her head and sighed softly.
"After all... is it that difficult...?"
"Impossible."
"...NTR Party."
"Huh?"
Why did that suddenly come up.
"If NTR Party hadn't been disbanded, this urgent project wouldn't have happened...."
"Instead of appealing to feelings, fill their chests with silicone first and start."
"If there are things you want support for, I'll do my best to accommodate."
"Yes. Better like that."
Leaning back on the chair, I let out a long breath.
'I seem to have to dance all these moves without even a backrest.'
Just crazy talk, crazy talk.
I covered my face with both hands and breathed again.
[──,───]
"Ah? What did you say?"
Our little hamster Hecate suddenly spoke.
[─.───]
"Oh... that's right?"
With the word 'idol' stuck in her mind, she kept saying 'idol.'
[Wanting to become an idol (deity).]
"....huh?"
The hidden 0th member of Spirit Idols.
The real Spirit Idol Hecate appeared.
...Of course it's bullshit.
'I probably won't be able to pull her out now.'
I slowly nodded my head.
"Thanks to you, I survived. But if there's something you want, tell me anything!"
"Anything?"
"...If that's what you want, I'll do anything."
"I already said it, but fill their chests with silicone and come again."
"Oh really!"
Anyway, it was a want.
A want, meaning a want.
I thought for a moment and requested from Hye-won.
"Support one healer. The children's status seems fine outwardly, but the mana loader was probably worked extremely hard."
"That's something I can support right away."
Hye-won smiled at me.
Since it was Hye-won, she'd handle it quickly.
I stood up from my seat and continued the training.
A few days later.
"My name is Yun Ayoung. Nice to meet you, Instructor!"
"....???"
Why are you here?
