057 Idol Chapter 32: Ayame's Public Debut Simulation Match 1
The third day of the second term.
I’d finally cleared up the tuition issue—yet here I was, still not going to high school.
Day one was an emergency call-up. Day two was the special recovery of downed targets.
Today was supposed to be the mock battle for Ayame’s new recruit debut.
"Boss, why wasn’t it a weekend event? I haven’t set foot in school since the second semester started."
"Hey, Akira, it's because of the emergency call, right? My schedule was supposed to come first."
I mutter something, and President Kamizawa responds with a disgruntled expression.
"Yeah, but if students can't get to school, that's a problem."
No, they’re just gonna have one of those copy robots showing up to class, right?
"That’s only during station operations—emergency summoning and intercept recovery. No way they’d let an idol activity request get approved for a copy robot."
"So Saya and Miu are off too. Hmm. Should’ve thought of that."
President Kamizawa seems genuinely troubled by how to handle minors on Earth.
"Huh? What about Ayame?"
"She’s dealing with family matters… "
"Ah…"
Ayame’s father ran a company that went bankrupt. He took on the debt himself.
Before the collapse, Ayame had been forced to leave her elite academy.
If she can earn enough through SFO, she could pay off the debt and get back to school sooner.
"Anyway, the equipment money we used to upgrade the Blush Lips fleet—will we actually get paid for that?"
"Pull it out, I will—but… Akira, play along a bit!"
"No way. That’s Ayame’s precious gear, used to pay off her debt!"
"Ugh!"
President Kamizawa won’t even think about haggling after this.

First, my Personal Ship, Kirara.
Added one 20cm Particle Beam Cannon, single mount, to the Secondary Gun.
Installed as an overkill countermeasure during emergency summoning.
In the simulation environment, even if the opponent takes damage, it's just simulated damage—overkill isn't an issue.
This is combat-ready additional armament—no office billing.
Next, 'Fannell.'
Equipped with an Anti-Ship Blade.
Also for captured combat use—no office billing.
Ayame's Ship
Upgraded the dual 15cm Particle Beam Cannons on the Secondary Gun to 20cm.
This is to compensate for the lack of striking power in the Brushlips Fleet—office billing applies.
Naho's Ship
Upgraded the two single 15cm Particle Beam Cannons on the Secondary Gun to 20cm.
This is also for boosting striking power in the Brushlips Fleet—billing goes to the office.
Saya Ship
No changes.
Miyu Ship
Equipped with a Sub-Computer for fighter control.
This is also for boosting striking power in the Brushlips Fleet—billing goes to the office.
But it's expensive, so I'll treat it as a rental.
I'm not a monster. I'll cover the deposit for Ayame.
Yeah, yesterday’s collection was insanely profitable.
Fighters unchanged.
We’ll run the simulation with these five ships and three fighters.
I’m not using G-Bullets, fusion shells, or any external weapons stored in the Dimensional Storage Vault, nor am I using the ship itself.
It’s basically a battleship pretending to be a cruiser—can’t help but stand out.
Kira… I don’t want Akira from the Akira Fleet to be recognized, you know.
But as for the other weapons on display—yeah, they’re probably overkill. Still, no intention of holding back.
Mock battle starts at one o’clock.
Team strategy already hashed out.
Goal: raise the profile and rank of the Brush Lips Fleet.
Lose, and no stripping, no confiscation of gear—still, we’re playing to win.
Even if we’re idols, we’ll show we’ve got game.
Received a review from Ashutis-sama.
Thank you. Really made my day. (^^)
