Going back to the time before Tsukasa was reincarnated.
Having suffered School Bullying in junior high, she chose an out-of-town high school far from the facility when applying, wanting to escape that place even if it meant paying for her own school accommodation fees.
Although she studied extremely hard in junior high, she ultimately managed to enroll in her current high school with only decent grades, and scholarships were naturally out of the question.
Because of this, she had no time for club activities; she had to go to the Convenience Store to work after school, and on weekends, she worked part-time at a nearby amusement park and shopping mall. Since she had unilaterally decided to study here, it was already remarkable that the facility was willing to pay her tuition; accommodation and living expenses naturally had to be borne by herself. Moreover, it was not uncommon for students to work part-time in Japan.
She remembered that when she was first looking for a job, a famous Idol Agency approached her. The manager asked her if she wanted to become an idol. If she agreed, she could attend the recent newcomer audition at the agency, and the agency would cover all her expenses during training, perfectly solving her living expense problem.
But because Tsukasa viewed professions like celebrities and idols with prejudice, believing the manager was merely attracted to her looks and perhaps wanted to use Backdoor Deals on her, she immediately forgot about the matter. Later, she learned that the agency had an excellent reputation, and idols in this world were not filled with Backdoor Deals like in the world she was a Transmigrator from, as idols here were ranked based on their live performance scores.
So she regretted it for a while.
After all, even if she was eliminated during training, she could have earned several months' worth of living expenses. And once she learned about the living standards of the agency's Idol Trainees, she regretted even more why she hadn't visited before making her decision. If she could do it over, she would definitely agree!
Because Tsukasa herself lacked confidence in her beauty, she didn't realize that even if she had called the manager later, she would likely have been accepted by the agency, as that manager was quite disappointed not to have received a call from Tsukasa.
In this manager's view.
Tsukasa's appearance and demeanor were perfect for an idol; she might even become a Superstar.
But it wasn't Tsukasa's fault for lacking self-confidence.
After all, she had met a classmate with exceptionally high beauty standards in high school.
That classmate's beauty had reached the point of being demonic.
Facing this Demonic Beauty every day.
She almost forgot that she herself was also a beauty.
However, after this reincarnation.
Tsukasa noticed that she seemed to have acquired that Demonic Beauty herself. Although she called it demonic, it wasn't necessarily a negative description; this beauty could even be called Divine Nature. But because she felt this overly abnormal beauty would only bring endless trouble, she subconsciously thought 'demonic' was more fitting than 'divine.'
On the other hand.
Thinking back now, although Wakaba-san sat right behind her, she hadn't had much interaction with Wakaba-san; she would only politely reply when Wakaba-san occasionally greeted her. Perhaps it was because she thoroughly enjoyed the quiet school life, hidden alone in a corner, overshadowed by Wakaba-san's radiance, so she didn't want to get closer to this Wakaba-san who possessed Demonic Beauty.
But she didn't know if it was just her wishful thinking.
She always felt that Wakaba-san seemed to be paying attention to her. Although she constantly convinced herself it was just her imagination, that she was simply tempted by Wakaba-san's Demonic Beauty to have such an impossible thought, she often saw Wakaba-san openly observing her.
For example, during P.E. Class, Wakaba-san would actively speak to her to pair up for partner activities, and during lunch break, they always seemed to run into each other in various corners of the campus. Even though Tsukasa deliberately sought out deserted places to enjoy her lunch break, they seemed to meet most of the time. Yet, the strange thing was that they rarely talked, even when they met; they just minded their own business.
At first, she was worried that getting too close to Wakaba-san would cause trouble, but later she realized she was overthinking things. Perhaps in the eyes of other classmates, she wasn't even worthy of being friends with Wakaba-san. No one in the class ever spoke to her. Even the aloof Wakaba-san occasionally discussed topics with classmates, but she, Tsukasa, was the only Invisible Person who hadn't interacted with any classmate from the start of school until before her reincarnation.
She wondered what kind of Unlucky Image she held in the eyes of her other classmates.
But she couldn't be blamed.
Because she truly had nothing to talk about.
She knew little about the manga, movies, and games they talked about. She was poor, and she didn't want to spend money on those things. At least until she could own her own house, she wouldn't consider using the savings accumulated from her part-time jobs for entertainment.
Although at that
time she also discovered that some works from before her transmigration existed here, the time gap was too long, causing her to only remember the general idea, making it impossible to discuss them with others. [Garbled Text]
But even so.
Her high school life could still be considered very pleasant.
Although it wasn't exactly youthful.
But such a high school life was suddenly declared over on that day. She still remembered the Flash that suddenly appeared, an attack from nowhere that killed everyone in their classroom. She had just been thinking about working hard to earn her own house within ten years, yet suddenly she was blasted into another world, and a dangerous Other World filled with monsters at that... The above is roughly the ordinary life of the Transmigrator named [Tsukasa].
Wakaba Himeiro, hiding in a small room and secretly watching the Live TV Broadcast, looked at the girl on the screen. When she saw the girl's skill attributes, the corner of her mouth curved into a pleased arc.
"Interesting. It seems Si-chan is indeed hiding some non-trivial secrets."
Back then, she saw through this classmate's inner self at a glance, so she deliberately sat in the seat behind this classmate, just to see what kind of fun this soul from the Other World could bring her. After all, even if this Transmigrator thought she was well disguised, manipulating souls was precisely one of her specialties, so she immediately noticed multiple layers of disguise on the Transmigrator's soul.
Initially, she had considered making a move to capture Si-chan.
But since she had essentially snuck out, she had to use her power carefully, because a certain fellow would surely detect her aura and immediately rush over to drag her back to work.
Just like now.
She had only accidentally leaked a bit of aura while teasing Little White earlier, and that guy had dragged her back. If she hadn't hidden this Secret Space, she wouldn't even have made it in time for the live broadcast now.
"D!"
Seemingly having discovered someone slacking off.
The person outside angrily called out Wakaba Himeiro's nickname.
D sighed.
Before that guy could break in, she returned from this Secret Space to her office desk.
"Sigh, why must I, a Wicked God, work so diligently?"
D stated that she really wanted to play games and watch the Other World Channel's live stream.
Why couldn't work just complete itself?
