At a different place, Fubuki, who had just finished being interviewed, was seen coming out of the Tv station building. As soon as she had walked a few steps, a large group of people immediately surrounded her. These people included both women and men, and they all had the same expression on their faces, which was one of excitement and admiration for Fubuki, who was in front of them.
"kyaah... Fubuki-sama!"
"You look cool Fubuki-sama!"
"Fubuki-sama.... please look over here..."
*shutters
*flash
Fubuki looked surprised and could only stand there a little confused as to what to say. The crowd started getting busier as time passed, and the sound of camera shots combined with the flash directed at Fubuki overwhelmed her.
However, shortly after that, a group of individuals dressed in black suits appeared and began to disperse the crowd. At the forefront of this group stood a young woman who stood out from the others due to her lovely appearance, which included a high ponytail and a white lily flower on the top of her head.
In addition, many people instantly recognized this woman, as evidenced by the fact that some of them started yelling the name of this newly appeared woman while taking her picture, and their excitement was comparable to what it was when they confronted Fubuki just now.
"Take a look, there's Lily!"
"You're right, ahhh... Lily!"
"Lily, you were really cute and also brave yesterday."
"I need both of your signatures!"

As I made my way through the crowd in front of me to arrive in front of Fubuki-sama, I thought to myself, 'This is bad, if this continues I'm not sure if I will be able to stay on my feet because right now I'm already very nervous and on the verge of fainting.'
This all happened after yesterday's incident, which caused the name of the Blizzard group to immediately rise by an exponential amount. And because I was always by Fubuki-sama's side when she was being interviewed, I also somehow gained all of this popularity all of a sudden.
'Even though I didn't do anything... *sigh... I can think about that later. For now, I have to get Fubuki-sama out of this situation.'
With a firm voice, I ordered the members of the Blizzard group standing behind me to push back this crowd so that Fubuki-sama could walk in the middle of it.
As soon as I stood in front of Fubuki-sama, I hurriedly said, "Come on, Fubuki-sama, let's go now."
In the midst of all the flashing camera lights and the screams of the people around her, Fubuki-sama simply nodded her head and walked gracefully and with dignity without showing the slightest hint of weakness. For the first time, I found myself feeling envious of her.
"What was I thinking? Isn't Fubuki-sama always like this? That's why I really admire her," but after shaking my head, I then started to follow behind Fubuki-sama until we got into the car and drove away from that place.

In the car, I, who was sitting next to Fubuki-sama, tried to ask something, but I hesitated to say it, but in the end, I still did it, "Fubuki-sama... umm, is this really okay?"
"What do you want to ask?"
I had to forcefully swallow my saliva when I saw Fubuki-sama now looking directly into my eyes sharply. Still, I said, "Your interview just now, wasn't Kaiser the mysterious person Fubuki-sama was referring to, right?"
"What's wrong with that anyway? Oh, I see, you do feel bad because you think we're taking advantage of him in some way, right?"
Yes, this is what I'm concerned about. The interview that Fubuki-sama gave just now, in which she described how powerful the monsters they fought at the time were, demonstrated to the audience that the mysterious man in the battle suit also possessed strength that was at least as strong as Fubuki-sama, if not stronger and not only that...
"Why Fubuki-sama, lie that Kaiser is a secret member of the Blizzard group?"
I knew by asking this, Fubuki-sama would definitely feel like I was interfering too much, but I prepared myself to accept her scolding.
"It seems that you have misunderstood, Lily. At what point did I bring up Kaiser's name? In fact, I never mentioned his name in the first place, so it's just you who is trying to conclude it yourself."
When I heard that, I was at a loss for words. But what Fubuki-sama said did make sense. But still seeing the smile on Fubuki-sama's face now, she knows what she's doing, and unfortunately, I can't say anything else to refute it.
"In the end, it's all I do for the Blizzard group, and I'm not going to let that guy take advantage of me before I take advantage of him first."
I could faintly hear Fubuki-sama's muttering, and even though I couldn't make out what Fubuki-sama was saying, I had the distinct impression that she was trying to keep something important from me. This was especially true after that day, Fubuki-sama started to act differently than usual.
After the conversation just now, Fubuki-sama and I didn't say anything else, but when I peeked to my side, I could see Fubuki-sama, who was closing her eyes while leaning back.
Soon after, as if she could tell I was watching her, Fubuki-sama, who still had her eyes closed, asked, "What's our schedule for today?"
"Wait for a second, Fubuki-sama. I'll look into it."
I hurriedly took out my cell phone and checked Fubuki-sama's schedule that was written in the note. However, before I could report it to Fubuki-sama, a message suddenly came in, and when I saw who had sent it, I was shocked.
While I was pretending to check the schedule on my phone, I quietly opened this newly received message, and as I read every word, my heart beat faster along with it.
[ Hi, Lily! I just wanted to congratulate you and your group on your growing popularity. You also look cute on tv. Btw I'm just wondering, can we meet? ]
[ oh yes, don't forget to say hello from me to Fubuki, and tell her that she was really cool in her interview ]
'Is this sarcasm? or is he angry? ... ahhh, I don't know, but I hope Kaiser doesn't hate me.'
