If You Raise Three Idols Well, They Will Confess Their Love

89 – Reverse Kill Angle

Episode 89

I took a quick look around.

Perhaps because it was a waiting room in a corner, there was no one there.

The restrooms and exits were far away, so there wasn’t a lot of floating population, and it was also far from where goods were stored, so it’s unlikely that anyone would go this far.

Probably, that kid named Oh Yu-ri also spoke because it was a place like this.

I decided that no one would eavesdrop, so I asked back.

“What do you mean by threat?”

Oh Yu-ri, dressed in flying squirrel animal pajamas, carefully removed the hood with flying squirrel eyes, nose, and ears, and said, twisting one end of her pink pigtails with her hand.

“… Because I know. “Team Leader Seon’s secret.”

I don’t have one or two secrets.

Even if any of them are caught, it’s hard to see a good situation.

Assuming that the conversation that would follow would be unusual, I quietly turned on the ballpoint pen-type recorder I had at hand and asked.

“What secret do you know?”

“The secret is that Team Leader Seon had a deal with PD Kim Seon-ye.”

… Look at this?

It would be a waste to get embarrassed and say things like ‘How did you know?’ To her.

In dealing with the matter, I never left any clear evidence.

Kim Seon-ye wouldn’t have leaked our deal.

So, for now, we must leave open the possibility that those words are just speculation.

… Of course, if he actually knew about the transaction, the story would be quite difficult.

I spoke as carefully as I could, conscious of the spinning tape recorder.

“That is quite embarrassing. It’s a bit unpleasant. Those words can be taken as an insult to PD Kim and me at the same time.”

First of all, you should not deny it right away.

The first thing to do is to express your displeasure at being seen as a pure insult.

Only after that point is pointed out can it lead to an explanation.

“Still, if I were to defend myself as it may be due to my unreliable appearance, I will make it clear that such information is not true. When it comes to talking about a deal, there is a difference in position between the manager of a new company and PD Kim Sun-ye, who is a strong producer who can be pushed to the main role at a broadcasting station. Moreover, he is a busy man and he won’t even meet me.”

Whether I have regressed or whether our company is full of S-class personnel, that is information that has not been revealed to the outside world. Right now, I have the image of a manager at a new company.

Most people would agree that such a person is not at the level of dealing with the main PD.

“At this point, I don’t know what kind of rumor you are talking about about that deal, but I think you understand that it is a story that is reasonably unlikely.”

“No. “The only person who would do business with that person is Team Leader Seon.”

Oh Yuri said anxiously, touching the hem of her dress that imitated the rain membrane of a flying squirrel.

“… To be precise, it refers to a person who made an additional transaction without making a transaction in advance.”

It was a very meaningful story.

I was half sure.

This child. There is something I know.

However, I asked without revealing my true feelings.

“You keep mentioning the word transaction. What do you mean by transaction?”

She opened her eyes brightly like a small flying squirrel, looked at me with determination, and said.

“This broadcast is rigged.”

“… “Who did you hear that from?”

“I didn’t hear it from anyone. “It was my decision.”

“Then can you explain how that decision was made?”

Oh Yuri lightly applied her saliva to the corner of her mouth and said.

“Girls 100’s debut group selection system is made up of paid message votes.”

“Yes. The catchphrase is that she created her debut group with her own hands.”

“I believe this vote was rigged.”

“…”

I didn’t answer.

Regardless of whether I agree with that opinion or not, considering that I am recording it, I should not have expressed my personal opinion here.

As I was looking at her without saying a word, Oyuri seemed to think that this meant that she needed to explain further, so she finished her explanation.

“The fifth round of voting has taken place so far, right?”

“That’s right. Since the show aired 5 times, voting took place up to the 5th round. There have been significant changes in rankings. But why are you mentioning that?”

“The margin of votes in that vote is strange.”

Oh Yuri looked around her and found a white board in her waiting room, where she quickly started writing down numbers and tables with a marker.

The contents were familiar.

“Is this really the result of the vote until the 5th period? How do I… ?”

“I memorized it.”

Hey, a talented person who should participate in the Olympiad or something is now an idol.

But can’t you just show it on your phone?

“I may have memorized it, but there won’t be any errors. You can check it out.”

I took out my smartphone, checked the chart, and said.

“If you look at the number of votes, they are exactly the same. Great. … But can’t I just show it on my smartphone?”

“I was confused.”

Oh, that’s right.

Come to think of it, Girls 100 banned the bringing in of communication devices and electronic equipment to prevent external leaks through trainees. The security was tight and the penalty was very strong, so it was natural that she didn’t have a smartphone.

… Then you can’t even record it?

I checked her ball-pan type recorder without her knowing her.

It was operating very normally.

Oh Yuri seemed to know what I was plotting behind the scenes as she circled several parts of the 5th session record and continued.

“Let me tell you briefly why this number of votes is strange. So far, a total of 100 trainees have been voted on 5 times, and the same number of votes has been lost 17 times. “This cannot be accepted as a mere coincidence.”

“With numbers like that, can’t we just accept it as a coincidence?”

“No, I can’t do that.”

“Why?”

“That’s because when you divide the number of votes, the percentage that is cut off to exactly 2 decimal places, 0.05%, comes out as a constant. “The cases I circled are all 12 people.”

I pointed to Kaori, who was number 12 among the children circled in her 5th period on the table she wrote.

“Then what is this friend? “The vote margin shown by this child does not fit the constant you mentioned?”

“That’s because the extra numbers were crammed in so that when the percentages were multiplied, they would fall to an integer. That figure would be about 0.002 percent.”

It was indeed as he said.

At this level, it is correct to think that the remaining surplus votes among the distributed votes were given to Kaori.

In fact, as it turned out later in a court battle, it was true.

Since I didn’t refute it, Oh Yuri finished writing down the formula on her whiteboard.

“I think there are trainees in each ranking whose coefficient is set to an integer, and if the number of votes received by those trainees is multiplied by a certain constant, the final number of votes will match. There aren’t enough cases to say for sure yet, but I believe this will form an arithmetic sequence. Later, if voting continues to the 12th round, which is the final vote, it will become clear.”

“…”

“I don’t know if this percentage, or the unique vote count constant, is the result of simple rounding, or if something went wrong while processing the data. But I can assure you of one thing.”

As Oyuri underlined the deduced constants with her board marker, she looked at me and said,

“This means that there was artificial intervention in the voting.”

“… “Hey.”

I was purely amazed.

The formula for the suspicion that the child just showed was exactly the same as the suspicion that netizens later raised after seeing the voting results. The suspicious post was considered one of the internet’s trashiest posts at the time, but it was the flapping of wings of a legendary butterfly that later led to a huge storm and brought a fierce storm to Munet and the entire entertainment industry.

But there was a big difference between that netizen and that child.

Netizens raised their suspicions after seeing the results of the 12th round of voting, but that child, Oh Yuri, said that information that could be known as an insider was added, but she only looked at the results up to the 5th round and filled in the information between the lines with her own inferences. It means that we have reached that point.

It did not have the judgment and reasoning skills of a middle school student.

“And among those 12 people, Sister Winter is included. She said It was also not included in the first round of voting before recording, but it was included in the constant value from the second round, which is unusual. From this, we can guess that, unlike the 11 people who had been negotiated in advance, there were additional transactions after recording began.”

“…”

She took out her red board marker and underlined all the votes Midwinter received, waving the tail of her flying squirrel animal pajamas.

“This is the basis for my judgment that Team Leader Seon had a deal with PD Kim Seon-ye. And if Team Leader Sun does not follow through with my threats, I plan to make this basis public.”

That kid is amazing. He said It’s truly amazing.

The ability to make judgments, the ability to take action without stopping at reasoning, and the courage to confidently threaten me, everything.

But there was one thing that child overlooked.

“Let’s do it. Public debate.”

That’s not evidence. Yuri.

“… Yes?”

“Even if Oh Yu-ri doesn’t make it public, I will do it myself. “As soon as you leave this space.”

She asked, unable to hide her embarrassment.

“Then, won’t Team Leader Sun be in trouble?”

“No. The one who is in trouble is Oh Yuri. “It’s not me.”

The formula shown by Oh Yu-ri is a clue to raising suspicion, but it is not solid evidence.

The evidence was revealed later after prosecutors arrived and conducted a search and seizure.

So even if we make it public now, it cannot be a threat.

Rather, it would be like eliminating evidence by modifying the voting method.

So it didn’t matter at all if I went out confidently.

Even if I reveal that, no harm will come to me.

However, it will cause damage to Oh Yuri.

Because I will make it that way.

“I am extremely displeased with the suspicions presented by Mr. Oh Yuri. You talked about the sacred competition called Girls 100 as if it were a rigged fraud, right? I don’t think Oh Yuri will pass off what she said as just a rumor. “This could have a negative impact that will determine the fate of the broadcast.”

I took out a ball-pan type recorder from the front pocket of my suit, waved it around, and said.

“And as it happens, this entire conversation has been recorded. I plan to deliver this transcript as is to PD Kim Seon-ye. This is too dangerous of an idea for me to just pretend not to see. It could cause harm to Winter.”

It’s glass. It is said that pulling out a sword should be done only when the kill angle is fully set.

“I’m not sure what the outcome of this will be? Anyway, I guess Oh Yuri is not the only one responsible for this? This includes Yuri’s company, Flower Entertainment. … “It’s going to be busy in the future, right?”

Otherwise, the angle of death comes out like this.

Oh Yuri looked at me with bright eyes and spoke as if she had realized.

“I’m ruined?”

It was a very objective self-evaluation.

At that time. A message window appeared as if to commemorate my sharp decision to kill.

[Quest completed! ‘Genius dog Boksil’ will be given as a reward!]

… So why are you giving me Boksil?
