The meeting hasn’t officially started, but as your secretary/assistant, Emily needs to know about what’s going on with Pumpkin Pie!

“Be a fan? That’s easy! I love Clutzy! I love Clutzy! I love Clutzy!” Crossbill starts chanting with glee!

“A-Agh… I mean… Iohoho~! W-Wonderful! Remember, true fans buy my merch!” Clutz is a little embarrassed, but she’s a professional, damn it!

“...Then all we can be is friends, Clutzy.” Crossbill places her hand on Vortexia’s shoulder. The idol looks unimpressed. “D-Don’t make that face, I’ll always support you!”

“Cheapstake.” Vortexia looks down on the bird.

“Guh…” Crossbill can’t believe her idol did this to her…

“She got you there, (Chip) Cheapbill…” Yu Yan pats Crossbill’s back. “Hey, hold on a minute. I should be your favorite idol, musician, pop star, or whatever! We’re a team for crying out loud!”

“You don’t even know if you’re an idol!” Vortexia feels like this should be the center focus.

“At least I can defeat Nariko!” Yu Yan points out.

“Oh~? Shall we resolve this with a duel?” Punk-P wants more mayhem. “Whoever conquers this young maiden’s heart will win!” Punk-P puts Crossbill right in the center of attention.

“I-Is this your solution for everything…?” Vortexia believes this lacks any novelty at this point.

“One defeat and you’re already becoming a coward…” Punk-P acts disappointed.

“Face me, Whirlwendy! Your true calling is to lose to all the Bluesberries!” Yu Yan taunts with a crab pose.

“F-F-Fine! I’ll show you your place…!” Vortexia is easily tauntable…

You don’t know what happened, but something ridiculous is brewing...

“Hey, Emily.” You ask her to come closer to keep this between you two as the mayhem continues.

“Hm?” Emily hurries up, not wanting to lose this chance.

“Just letting you know that Pumpkin Pie has creative control for now. For her all stuff, and I mean all.” You explain. “Hopefully, she'll be willing to ease off a bit once she believes I might be at least reasonably competent with managing an idol agency.”

“From our talks, I could tell she didn’t hold you in high regard...” Emily laments as she whispers back. “I’m glad you’re addressing it, I’ll inform you if anything goes awry.”

“Thanks, you’re awesome.” You wink at her.

“And, uhm, Mr. Ando…” Your lovely secretary Emily turns redder. “C-Can I get an adorable nickname like hers?”

What do you do?

>“No need, you’ll always be my lovely secretary.” Wink! Emily loves when you wink!
>“I don’t know if I can, it’s spontaneous. I can’t force genius…” You’re a tragic artist.
>Write In a Nickname!
>Actual Write In.
