With the details given, I had no choice but to agree. And what made it worse was that I couldn't bring my wife. Coming back from my meeting, I went back to the restaurant.

Both David and Stacy were doing their job. I greeted them and went to the back of the room.

"Hubby! You're back!"

Livie was happy and hugged me right when I returned.

"I have bad news."

I sighed, not wanting to say this, but it was inevitable. I would be going out of the country to manage an idol group.

"Bad news?"

Hearing what I said, Livie became attentive. She became worried that something terrible had happened.

"Lua gave me an assignment."

"Is it that bad?"

She wasn't sure what I had gotten but seeing that I was depressed made her worry.

"I will be leaving the country without you."

"What!?? Why?"

"Lua's order."

"Then how long will you be away?"

"Don't know. At the very least, it will be weeks. And at most, it would be months."

"I could barely survive with you being away for a month..."

Livie had despaired at the thought of me leaving, and the potential of me leaving for longer was possible.

"Don't worry. We have a communication device this time."

"But still..."

Even with a communication device, we will still be apart. It was sad, but we will somehow get through it.

Stacy was coming in for an order and was wondering what we were talking about.

"Lidia, a customer, has ordered some sweet honey ribs."

Livie then used her magic and sent Stacy away.

For the remainder of my time, I will spend time with Livie. It was unfortunate that we couldn't close right away. I don't want to cause any problems for the customers.

And with that, the day ended, and I told my employees that I would be going on a business trip, so the two of them would have to do all the work.

Livie and I spent the night together as best we could. Satisfying her, I left for our group's base.

"Lua, I'm here."

Lua was here with five girls. From the looks of it, they seem to be the group that I will be managing.

And from the looks of it, they didn't seem to mind me being here. I thought they would be dissatisfied with me managing them.

Did Lua tell them something about me? Or were they secretly dissatisfied? I couldn't tell they were idols, so hiding their feelings was something they could do.

"Lua, do they know anything about me?"

"No, they know nothing."

Then do they trust Lua that much? Considering how she is the leader of this group, that would probably be it.

"Then I'm Charles. Nice to meet you all."

Since I will work with them, I might as well do my best to get along with them. They didn't seem like bad people, so it should work out.

"I'm Lillianna, the leader of this group. It's nice to meet you."

Pinky, here introduced herself. While her introduction wasn't as flashy as the one on stage, she looked easy to get along with.

"I hope you'll take care of us all. I"m Eclair."

Eclair, who seemed straight-up friendly, greeted me.

"Nice to meet you, Charles. I'm Blanc."

Blanc sounded happy that I joined them. I don't know how someone could be that cheerful when a random person joins them.

"Emi."

Emi didn't care whether I joined or not. She introduced herself out of formality.

"I'm Reina..."

Reina was the only one who wasn't thrilled to have me here. I don't expect them all to like me at our first meeting.

"That's good. Now that you all know each other, I will tell you what you'll all be doing."

"You have heard what happened to the country of Uthua, right?"

How could we not? The news of what happened in the country of Uthua had already spread. This news might even be remembered for centuries.

A few months ago, every country launched an early attack on the monster king somewhere in Uthua.

With everyone fighting, 40% of the population died. The monster king had emerged victorious, and half of Uthua was destroyed.

It was a great calamity. Most of the people of Uthua now live in fear, only to be waiting to be slaughtered by the monster nearby.

Now that the monster king is injured, the ten countries will send another more potent force than the previous one.

"Are you sending us there? Isn't it too dangerous?"

From what Lua was talking about, I could only assume we would be heading there. Like the country of Star State, I would like to avoid Uthua as much as possible.

"You can't be serious..."

Reina, who heard me say that, couldn't help but groan at the thought of going there. The rest of the members looked scared.

"How clever of you, but you don't need to be scared."

"I used my magic and predicted that none of you would die."

"That sounds reassuring."

Yes, I was being sarcastic. While the Lunaris' magic could predict the come out of each future, it is not like they're always one hundred percent correct.

"Anyways, you will be doing a live performance there to cheer up the people of Uthua."

Ignoring what I said, Lua continued explaining.

"There will be strong people there waiting to be recruited."

"We have a base there. I will teleport you now."

"Wai..."

Before I could speak, we were already in another room. Lua had teleported to Uthua. I had questions regarding my job as a manager.

She said she would tell me today, but I didn't think she would skip it. I felt like I got scammed into this deal.

Looking at the other five, I could see they were used to this. I should note that anything coming from Lua wouldn't be answered soon.

Three people were waiting in front of us as we teleported into a different room.
