The classroom, as usual, was buzzing with talk about Personia.
"Hey, that recent Personia concert! Wasn’t it amazing!?"
"I laughed so hard! Manager Suzuki was forced to sing!"
"Apparently Shion was the one who made Suzuki-san sing!"
"Aah~ Could it be that Shion-kun is actually an S-type? I want him to tease me too~"
As I worked on self-study at my desk, I was secretly listening in on the girls’ conversation.
Yes, the one creepily eavesdropping is me—Shion. I’m really sorry.
And by the way, I'm an S… but not the kind you're thinking. Mine stands for 'sister-con'.
While I was thinking that, the girls kept chatting away.
"Sigh~ but I really want to see them live at least once."
"What are you saying!? Just getting tickets to a live viewing is already a miracle!"
"Exactly! As long as I can cheer for Shion-kun, even from far away, I’m happy!"
"And honestly... if I saw him in real life, I don’t think I could stay conscious~"
Yeah, tickets to my concerts are really hard to get. As soon as online sales open, the server crashes in an instant. And by the time it connects again—the tickets are already sold out.
While I was thinking about that, a male student approached the girls.
"Heh, seems like you’re all having trouble getting tickets?"
"Huh? Kaminogi-kun? Were you eavesdropping? Gross."
"Gwah! Minamisawa… Still as brutally honest and beautiful as ever."
I accidentally dropped my pen under the desk.
It’s not because I was shaken or anything.
"So? Stalker-kun, what do you want from us?"
"It’s Kaminogi. Actually, there’s a rumor that Personia is doing a surprise live show at Yuigahama Beach."
"Huh? What’s that? Even we, the biggest fans, haven’t heard about it!"
As I bent down to pick up my pen, I smacked my head on the desk.
Hey, hold on a second! Even I didn’t know about that rumor!
"They say it’ll be this Sunday. I saw it online."
"That sounds super sketchy."
"Wait a second… isn’t Sunday also..."
"It’s Sakino’s birthday party! No way! We can’t cancel the party for some rumor that might not even be true!"
They’re getting excited, but I can say this for sure—there’s no surprise concert that day.
...Wait, Sakino-san. Why are you making that “I’ve made up my mind” face? Don’t do it. Don’t fall for this fake rumor!
"Everyone! I want to be Shion’s biggest fan—Personia’s number one! That’s why—"
Wait, no. Please don’t. Don’t throw away your important birthday party for a concert that doesn’t exist!
"Even if there’s only a 1% chance I could see Shion, I want to take that chance!"
It’s actually 0%!! If you go to the beach, the only people you’ll see are hardcore surfers!!
"Sakino… I get it. Of course I’ll go with you!"
"Hmph, no fair. I’m a huge fan too, obviously I’m going too!"
"If we all go together, maybe something magical will happen! Let’s make it the best birthday ever!"
No—stop itttt!
Why are you all getting hyped up like this!? And Kaminogi, what’s with that smug face like “my work here is done”!? You just dumped fake news on them, you jerk!
"Thank you, everyone… This will definitely be a birthday I’ll never forget!"
I glanced sideways at Sakino’s dazzling smile. Could I really be the one to make that smile disappear?
No way. Shion would never do something like that—I stood up from my seat and walked out of the classroom.
After making sure no one was around, I took out my phone behind the school building. I called my manager.
"Hey, Suzuki. Sorry about the last concert. Also, this is sudden, but can you set up a surprise live at Yuigahama Beach this Sunday? I’ll tell the other members myself."
Looks like I won’t be getting any rest this weekend.
