Chapter 55: A Brilliant Idea

"Oh, Spectacle of Heart? A romantic comedy about two young people slowly building a love bond together while taking care of a Lovedisk, a classic...I think. Anyways, everyone who is interested in watching this romance movie says, SPECTACLE!"

""Spectacle!"" Some people shouted, yet it was even near the majority of the audience who screamed it, which made Iono shake her head.

"Hmm, still not the majority, sorry Valerie, but the public chose not to take your proposition. But do not despair, for one day people might finally develop taste!"

If she was disappointed by the result, she didn't show it, as she simply closed her eyes and smiled before sitting down.

Looking over to the next candidate, Poppy, Iono pointed in her direction with a smile. "So, what about you, Poppy? What do you wish to see among the infinite content we have at our disposal with the greatest invention of all time, and the greatest wallet of our time!"

"Little Ponita." She responded with no hesitation and even a slight giddiness.

"Little Ponita...but that isn't a...wait, no, they did make a movie, right? Let me check it up."

I watched as Iono scrolled down the screen with her power to look out for the proposition of Poppy.

That's what she mostly did the moment she came in. She was able to attract the attention of everybody in the room easily. All of their concern about me creating a group completely disappeared because of her, as she was extremely good at making others look and think of her.

This not only gave me more time to consider what I should do, but it also made everyone else happy, something I would never be able to do by myself.

If before they only seemed to be here because they felt that they had absolutely nothing better to do, now they actually seemed to enjoy themselves and were looking forward to actually watching the movie.

But as I was lost in my thoughts, Mina nudged my shoulder and murmured toward me. "Hey...are you okay? Well, no...of course you aren't...but beyond what you usually experience...are you fine with how others want to use you?"

"...why would I feel anything? This is not my right."

"...well, for starters, you have no relationship with them, in fact, you barely know their name because you actually bothered to listen to Iono...so you don't really have any obligation to fulfill."

"Oh, I didn't know we needed a special authority to ask me something...maybe it's because my statue is so low that no one even considers it before asking me a favour?"

Yes, that would make sense; they all think that because I'm a mighty archon, I'm also mighty. I should break this delusion so they can feel more at ease while giving me orders.

I try to stand up, but Mina dragged me down to the sofa. "I feel like you were going to do something stupid...so don't do that."

"Oh...I will comply with the order."

Mina made a strange expression of disgust filled with concern, but she hid it with her hand. "Whatever, yes, it's an order, if you feel like doing something stupid...consult anyone else first...or just don't do it at all."

"Oh...is creating a group a stupid idea then?" I asked, as this was an idea even I found stupid, but if I now needed to give out my opinion, then my willingness had no weight.

Mina hesitated for a moment before shaking her head. "I would say...that it isn't that bad of an idea...look around you...they are happy right now...and what you want is to find happiness, so this could be the best way to do it...what do you think?" I was able to tell that she wasn't completely honest with me right now, but I couldn't disagree that she was indeed right.
