Chapter 1393. School Festival Day 2 / Ps Tragedy

Margo-san goes to the corner of the schoolyard where the TV crew parked their cars in.

There was a van with equipment, a relay truck, and a microbus.

Then.

Around one van is a group of men wearing an identical s.h.i.+rt with a STAFF printing in yellow letters on the back with puzzled expressions.

If you look at the side of the van, you can see Burnham Woods, Sports Video

Hey, is Mori-san here?

Margo-san asks the staff guy.

Oh, Mori-san? Hes in the car

Thanks

I looked and saw a 50+-year-old man napping in the pa.s.senger seat with a script paper over his head.

Knock, knock.

Margo-san knocks on the car window, and the man wakes up and removes the paper on his face.

Seeing that it was Margo-san, he opened up the window in a hurry.

Whats going on?

The man asks Margo-san.

Well, its nothing special. Its just the P from the station said that were not allowed to touch the site today

P from the station?

And, he brought a bunch of guys from his production company, right?

Thats not all, that b.a.s.t.a.r.ds trying to direct everything to his liking

Hmm, whos the P today?

Margo-san asks, the old man

Sugimura, the one in charge of the entertainment department recently, he seems to be in charge of some variety shows, but he got a huge kick in his pants and got transferred to the sports department

Oh, he doesnt get it then

Margo-san smiled wryly.

Yeah, he seriously doesnt get it, the staff he brought in are from the variety shows. Even the camera placement is messed up

Okay, Ill clean up in five, Ill let Mori-san take care of the site today. See you

Hey, are you serious? That idiot Sugimura doesnt even know Takasaki-sans name

Ive met that Takasaki this old mans mentioning.

Hes a Yakuza big-shot backing the martial arts entertainment in j.a.pan.

I dont think his peers in the company taught him, hes just sent from the entertainment to the sports department because hes so bossy, and the other guys in the sports department framed him and told him to get to the field

Well, I guess thats the case

If its that kind of P, I dont think well be seeing him again in the future, Im going to take it out on him so he doesnt make a sound anymore

You sure you want me to manage?

The old man stares at Margo-san, trying to emphasize.

Its not about that, Takasaki-san recommended Mori-san, and the broadcast for the martial arts tournament last time went well. It satisfied me. Today was a sudden one so I feel sorry to have asked you to come

Dont mind it, I got double the fee for this

I guarantee you that, yes

Margo-san smiled.

I also had fun with the tournament last time. Todays project seems silly, but Im sure that the contestants today will make some fun scenes

Yes, you can expect that

We dont need any unnecessary entertainers. Seriously

Unnecessary entertainers?

So, wheres that Sugimura P?

That microbus over there, and theyre having a meeting with the talent theyre sending in as an emcee

Oh, I get that too.

This Sugimura doesnt even know anything about martial arts broadcast, and yet

Edies school swimsuit judo tournament is on air, and yet, they take the liberty of bringing a variety show staff, talents, and hosts.

Okay, Ill go to them, give me five minutes

Sure, I believe you. Fellas, well be back in business in five minutes, so get ready!

Roger that! Boss!

The staff hanging around the Burnham Woods Sports Video stood up.

Yos.h.i.+n.o.bu-kun

Margo-san talks to me while we head to the microbus where the Sugimura guy is.

We dont have much time so can I borrow Tsukiko-sans power here?

I

Sure, Tsukiko

Certainly

Even in the family, theyll ask me for permission to use Tsukikos Miko power.

What Margo-san does is always logical.

Shes an elder sister we can trust.

Wheres P Sugimura?

Margo-san shouts in front of the microbus.

What?

A staff member comes off the bus and comes near.

Im Margo Starkweather Kuromori, the customer for this broadcast. I dont know whats going on but someone named Sugimuras doing something different from what I asked for, so I came to stop him

W-Wait a second, Sugimura-san!!

Immediately after, an old man, who definitely seems Sugimura, comes down together with other young staff.

He looks like a man in his 40s but his skin is tanned and s.h.i.+ny, his hair is subtle and long, and hes wearing black sungla.s.ses, a sporty brand name s.h.i.+rt, and a cardigan on his back.

Huh? What does this foreigner want? d.a.m.n Idiot

When Sugimura found that Margo-sans a young woman, he suddenly gives a condescending look.

He stands at the entrance of the bus and wont come down.

Who are you? Some foreign model from Yanagawa Muroko? I didnt order for foreign models, dumb idiot

No, youre not the one who placed the order, Im the one who ordered for the broadcast today

Oh! P! This ladys definitely the one who ordered! Be careful with what you say

Mori-san from the Burnham Woods Sports Video from earlier shouts at him.

What the h.e.l.l dumb idiot? Shes the one who ordered? What, youre not going to tell me that youre a sponsor or something?

Im the one who asked all the sponsors for todays broadcast so you can ask them if you want

Margo-san shows a daring smile.

But youre not the sponsor, dumb idiot

Sugimuras not willing to listen at all.

Anyway, we have a problem here. Were supposed to use Mori-sans production company, and Im pretty sure that we didnt agree on having some obscure entertainment celebrity host the event

Youre the one who dont get it! Im the P of this station! In the TV world, Im higher than the prime minister, In other words, Im the president, dumb idiot!

I dont get it.

Anyway, Im the P so I decide what to use in the show. Thats how it works in the TV world! Do you get it, idiot?

Sugimura rants.

Hes already an old man, so why is he this shameless?

That may be your logic in your world, but we dont want to have our broadcast ruined for that reason

Margo-san said.

Tsukiko-san, please

Tsukiko comes forward.

What, dumb idiot?

As soon as Sugimura looked at Tsukiko.

Please follow what Margo-oneesan tells you

Tsukiko takes control of Sugimura with a beautiful smile.

O-Okay, dumb idiot, I get it, dumb idiot,

This old mans got a habit of saying dumb, idiot.

Please tell everyone to do everything Margo-oneesama instructed you, and leave early

Im leaving early? Why? Dumb idiot

Its because we dont want people like you here, go somewhere else

Her Miko power invokes.

I get it, dumb idiot. Hey, do you what this girl tells you. Got it? Dumb idiots? And Im going off now

Sugimura-san? Going? Where?

Sugimuras staff asks in a panic.

Dumb idiot! If I say Im going somewhere far, Im going to the outskirts of Kanto! Then, Im going to see the Great Buddha at Us.h.i.+ku!. Farewell! Adios!

Saying that Sugimura jumped off the microbus, ran across the schoolyard, and disappeared outside the school gate.

No, wait! We cant make our broadcast without a P!

Sugimuras staff shouts, but

No, you should be able to continue the broadcast even without a P

Margo-san laughs.

Then.

Mori-san, please take care of the rest

Yes, Ill take care of it, go

Got it!

The staff of Burnham Woods Sports Video resumed their work.

Well then, are you the guys the production company of Sugumira P brought with him?

Margo-san asks the staff in the microbus.

Ah, yes, were from the Paradise Galaxy Films

Im sorry to ask you but since Sugimura hired you without our permission, you need to leave. You can charge Sugimura-san for the cancellation fee. Were unrelated to this

No, but

The staff guy looks troubled.

You have to tell the president directly, we cant do that

Oh, the people responsible for this company arent here.

You have to go through Sugimura-san about that

But, Sugimura-san just went off

Then run and catch up to him, hopefully, you get to see him before he goes to the Great Buddha at Us.h.i.+ku

Margo-san said nonchalantly.

Youre not needed for the broadcast today. Have you ever done a martial arts broadcast before? Have you?

We have experience with comedians going toe-to-toe with womens wrestling athletes and the like. Thats why Sugiimura P called us over

Yikes.

If we let that Sugimura guy take over, Edies tournament would be turned into a comedy show.

Just a second, Sugimura-san also called over some talents or so I heard, could they be?

Margo-san asks, and the staff;

Yes, the two comedians Panchos 1 and 2, and Dorinja are here. Err, its about high-school girls wrestling today, right?

Y-Yep, theyre no good.

Can you call them over? I want to talk to them, theyre on the bus now, right]?

Yes, Pancho-san, Derinja! Sorry, someones calling

The man shouted inside the bus.

Then.

Whats this about?

Err, where did Sugimura-san go?

Hey, were in a meeting right now

Whats going on?

Oh.

These four not-so-young comedians.

They show up in wrestling clothes, naked tops, and tights on the bottom.

Furthermore, theyre either overweight or underweight.

Whats this meeting about?

Margo-san asks.

Lets see, were going to enter the ring after three minutes into the broadcast.

Whats that again? Theres a Karate girl, so Panchos 2 and I will hug her from behind.

Then, shell kick us off saying No~ Stupid! and then laugh it off.

Then, I will just use the gag saying what will you do? Like this? Like that? Im getting slimy! to brush it off

These guys are the worst.

Unfortunately, you guys wont show up today. Goodbye, you can go home now

Margo-san said.

No, why would we?!

We came all the way here

I mean, where the h.e.l.l is Sugimura-san!

Where?! Where, Where are they?!

Err.

Tsukiko

This is just bothersome, so I called Tsukiko this time.

Yes, everyone, please

The comedians simultaneously focused their attention on Tsukikos clear voice.

Please go home without saying anything

!!

!!

Mu!

Deringuh!!

The four comedians shut their mouths.

You can go this way

Tsukiko points at the school gate and they walked off wearing their pro wrestling clothes.

W-Wait! Where are you going?!

Sugimuras staff shouted at the four comedians but they disappeared beyond the school gate.

Okay, you should leave too. Oh, dont try to obstruct Mori-sans work. Thanks

Please do as Margo-oneesama says.

Tsukiko said. The staff;

Okay, were leaving. Dont obstruct Mori-san! Clean up! Lets go!

They started retreating.

Haa, so thats how it goes

Erica says after seeing the situation.

Ive seen those from the special broadcast for anime before, but

Anime? Special show?

It was a normal anime, but it had a shocking scene, and it just so happened that the incident similar to the scene happened in real life, so the broadcast of the episode got canceled and it switched to a special broadcast for that week instead 1

Erica said.

Then, the special show had the comedian introduce the story of the anime up to that point, but it was horrible. You can a.s.sume that the comedian hasnt watched the anime at all. Instead, they started poking fun at the anime, poking fun at the people who liked anime, and the comedian started doing their own gags and stories that had nothing to do with the anime, and it became a total mess

So that happened.

That show happened because of those irresponsible people, right?

Something like that

Margo-san said.

Replacement broadcasts on sudden situations are handled by people who cant do their jobs and just fail at the company. They think that theyre getting random comedians from an entertainment agency to fill the airtime, making it a stupid program

They were about to mess up Edies school swimsuit judo tournament.

Then.

Uhm, excuse me. Staff-san, producer-san?

Someones coming out of the bus.

Uhm, what do I do?

Its a high-school girl.

Im Saito Yuki from the Death Star Promotions M&M Section F

The girl introduced herself to Margo-san.

Im her Manager, Fujimori Linda

A woman in a suit appears after the girl and hands her business card to Margo-san.

Huh? Death Star Productions?

Thats the one where Minaho-neesan took the female talent department from.

Im supposed to see what kind of company they are tomorrow afternoon.

M&M Section F, what does that mean?

Margo-san asks.

M&M stands for Models and Musicians

Its an affiliate of Death Star Productions in charge of the female talents. Section F stands for Female, meaning, its a female department

Saito-san and the manager replied.

Meaning, the company Im seeing tomorrow.

Oh, I see. So, what did Sugimura tell you today?

Margo-san said.

Producer Sugimura asked her to be the host of the program

The manager replied.

No, uhm, at first, Im introducing myself in the ring Im the moderator, Saito Yuki, then, Panchos 1 and 2 and Dorinja come to the ring, and then Panchos 1 will be the moderator and Ill be the a.s.sistant

Oh, that setup.

Anything else?

He also agreed to let Yuki sing one song during airtime

The manager said.

No, he only said that I might be able to sing if theres extra time, but it might not be likely

Hey, Yuki, didnt we have him agree that youre going to sing at least one chorus before the commercials?

Oh, the manager seems to be telling Margo-san some over-the-top minutes of her meeting with Sugimura

Meanwhile, Saito-sans answering honestly.

Is that all?

Margo-san probes further.

Uhm, Sugimura-san told me to do pro wrestling in a swimsuit too

Eeeeh?
