Epilogue Chapter 12: A Dance with a Dragon (2)
“In other words…”
From what Oh Kang-Woo heard from Echidna, she was supposed to have a joint performance with an idol in the same agency in Australia but that idol was attacked by monsters that came out of a small Gate on her way home. She was not badly hurt thanks to Echidna’s quick actions but was unable to leave her room due to mental trauma.
“You’ve got a no-show, right?” Kang-Woo asked.
“No-show…?”
“Oh, it means you’re short one person.”
“Hm! Yeah! The performance is tomorrow but we’re short one person!”
Kang-Woo could understand why Echidna was so anxious— the performance was tomorrow but a performer was out of commission all of a sudden. Echidna had started the idol gig half-jokingly because she was so obsessed with Japanese idol animes but had grown extremely attached to it.
“Yeah, I more or less get what’s going on,” said Kang-Woo as he grabbed his forehead as if his head hurt. He continued, “But why does that lead to you wanting me to become an idol?”
“Well… Y-You can freely change your appearance, right? So… could you perform in Ahri’s place?”
