Chapter 131 Popular star reappears? (Ch 131)

The days of performance rehearsal passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye, the short seven days passed quickly, and the day of the official performance was almost here!

During these seven days, the group had rehearsed quite well, and at least they were able to perform without making any mistakes.

Among them, Anke’s performance was particularly impressive, and he remembered his lines by heart!

On the morning of the last day, when everyone was rehearsing for the last time before the performance, Rabian suddenly appeared at the door next to him and said timidly:

“The support group is here too. Thank you so much.”

The five people looked at him in confusion: “Cheering group?”

When did they have such a group?

Outside the theater, Makarov stood in front of a group of people and waved:

“Yo!”

Behind him, various supporting roles gathered together.

The blue Pegasus, the leader of the four hounds, Mr. Yajima, the demon village chief of Karna Island, the younger brother and sister of the ghost ruler Gajeel…

Lucy looked at the familiar faces in shock and couldn’t help but exclaimed, “So many people!”

I don’t know where to start complaining…

“By the way, you’re here too.” Anke said in surprise, looking at the familiar face.

Lucy was startled and asked in surprise: “Are you the fake fire dragon? Why are you here?”

Bola was still as showy as ever. She adjusted her bangs and said with a smile:

“My name is Miss Bora! Last time, I was beaten up by the two big brothers! So I have long since stopped being a talent scout and forcing idols to debut.”

“Huh?!”

Lucy looked at Pola in confusion and began to recall the scene when she met Pola.

So, Pola lured the women onto the boat in order to force them to debut as idols?

What an outrageous turn of events…

Paula looked at Lucy’s surprised expression and couldn’t help asking, “Otherwise…what do you think it is?”

Lucy’s face flushed, and she stammered, “No… nothing…”

Of course, what she thought was a variety of awkward development directions…

Mirajane also came with the president this time. She ran to Anker happily and said expectantly:

“I really want to see Anke’s performance sooner!”

Anke scratched his head and said nothing.

If nothing goes wrong, you should be able to see it at the beginning…

Mirajane covered her face and smiled to herself, “But I didn’t expect that Anke would be willing to make a comeback.”

Re-debut?

Wait, what does this mean?

Seeing Anke’s puzzled expression, Mirajane said curiously, “Does Anke have to wear a mask when performing? This should be your first public performance.”

Anke’s body stiffened. Oh no, he had been living too comfortably lately and had actually forgotten about this.

Lucy looked at Anke strangely and asked, “But why doesn’t Anke like to show his face outside? He is so pretty.”

Anke and Mirajane looked at each other and couldn’t help but smile bitterly at the same time.

“Lucy, you haven’t seen Anke’s fans…”

Gray seemed to remember something and couldn’t help but sigh.

Even Natsu nodded seriously and said, “They are all crazy.”

“Even Natsu said so.” Lucy nodded thoughtfully.

Guild members can see it every day, but Anke’s true face is very attractive to everyone in the outside world, and he is truly popular with both men and women.

Because he made his debut with his looks, and his appearance has both the elegance and righteousness of a man and the charm and gentleness of a woman.

After so many years of hard work, Anke’s image as a “fatal beauty” began to fade. Coupled with his own strong aura and decisiveness, Anke suppressed his seductive temperament and became a “man” again.

Mirajane saw Anke’s anxious look and couldn’t help but say, “Actually, if Anke is worried about being bothered by fans, he can find an agent.”

Anke was stunned for a moment and asked, “Agent, what is that?”

Mirajane acted like a senior in the entertainment industry and explained, “This is a profession that has only become popular in the past few years.”

“The qualifications of an agent require business acumen, savvy in human relations, the ability to handle affairs flawlessly, a sharp eye, and the ability to always consider the interests of the employer.”

“Their job is mainly to manage everything related to the idols in the name of the idols, including performances, remuneration, schedules, activities, etc. They can effectively organize fans by releasing schedules and announcements in an ‘official’ capacity.”

“If the idol is famous enough and the agent is skilled, the money earned can be several times more than if you work alone. If the money is enough, you can even set up a company together, sign more idols, and continue the profit cycle.”

After Anke finished listening to Mirajane’s narration, he fell into a long silence.

This form of work…

Aren’t they just the agents and studios of the stars in their previous lives?

How come the world of Fairy Tail has developed so much without me knowing it…

But putting aside all those miscellaneous things, Anke thought about it carefully and felt that this was actually a good idea.

Originally, the main reason why he was annoyed about debuting was that he hated fans disturbing his life.

If there is an agent watching over it, and the effect is really as good as Mirajane said, it might not be a bad idea to do so.

Not only will you no longer have to worry about fans, but you will also get a lot of money and can even start your own company and be the boss. Why not?

I don’t want to be as rich as the Heartfilia family, but at least I should be able to buy a town manor, right?

Anke’s mind is now full of money, and he doesn’t feel ashamed at all.

Debuting as a star… isn’t it just to make money? Anke is not someone who is afraid of getting his hands dirty.

Moreover, the growth of Ankh’s magic power is no longer something that can be achieved through hard practice, so it is not bad to take some time out to pursue hobbies.

Like many people in the guild, while working as magicians, they also use their hobbies to develop their own industries.

Like Lucy who wants to be a writer, Wallian who studies high-tech magic tools, Marcus who opened his own figurine shop, etc.

Anke nodded with interest and said with a smile: “It sounds good. Can this really prevent fans from going berserk?”

Mirajane nodded with a smile and said:

“Agents are jobs supported by the Fiore royal family. For agents with officially registered identities, their idols will be strictly restricted and protected by special laws… Of course, for Anke, who has a special status, there is only protection.”

At this point, Mirajane couldn’t help but narrow her eyes slightly and looked at Anke who was completely unaware.

Mirajane also heard that… the reason why the royal family agreed to protect the agent’s job seemed to be due to the instigation of Princess Emerald.

The young Princess Emerald has already shown talent beyond her age. It seems that she is doing this because of An Ke…

Anke didn’t think too much about it and just thought that he had come at a good time.

After getting Mirajane’s guarantee, Anke nodded in satisfaction and asked, “How do I find an agent? Do I need an interview? Interview her or me?”

Mirajane raised her finger and smiled mysteriously, “Leave it to me. I can arrange it quickly. I guarantee that this person is reliable.”

“Just get ready and come back as the king!”

Anke looked at her in surprise, then nodded.

Although it was expected that Mirajane would help, Anke felt… a little uneasy for some reason.
