CHAPTER III
< Rayne Ames and His Idol Brother >
《 Stumbling into Stardom Arc 》DISTRESSED. That's one of the many words that could describe what Finn Ames was feeling right now. His ego was saved, and at the same time, he had also lost it.
He hardly knew anything about idols, let alone how to be one! All he understood was that they were people who acted cute and charming on stage while singing their hearts out. The thought of that much attention would make Finn faint.
Him? Finn Ames? Cute and charming? He'd never put those words in the same sentence as his name!
He muttered, "Well, I guess it's better than not having a job..."
As he strolled through the quiet streets, a refreshing night breeze greeted him, and gently ruffled his hair. The day had been a whirlwind—thanks to Lance Crown, he'd somehow ended up as an idol. It wasn't something he wanted, but his own stubbornness had forced his hand.
As he approached home, he peeked through the window to see if any people were inside. He spotted his brother, Rayne, feeding the rabbits in an orderly manner.
The Sword Cane pointed his wand to the rabbits as if using it to divide them, "Usao. Usazou. Usanoshin. Usako. Usayama. Usakichi. Usami. Usatarou. Usasuke."
He carefully laid out nine trays on the table, each one arranged with precision. Reaching into his large bag of Orchid Grass, he spread generous portions onto the trays. Next, he added a hearty mix of carrots, cabbages, and lettuce, followed by a sprinkle of rabbit pellets for extra nutrition. To finish, he placed a few slices of blueberries on top—a sweet treat to complete the meal.
Yes, Rayne Ames takes extreme care of his rabbits and he needs to measure out how much they eat per day. Usakichi, the cheeky little glutton, always got a bit extra. Rayne had learned the hard way that if Usakichi's plate wasn't piled high, the persistent critter would be back demanding seconds with those big, pleading eyes.
"Nii-chan, I'm home!" Finn opened up the door and greeted him.
"Welcome home, Finn," Rayne looked up, "You're late."
The younger one nodded, "Sorry. I got caught up with a few friends on the way home."
"Oh? So that's what kept you out so late? Was it something important?"
"Sort of. But I, um... landed a job today."
Rayne looked intrigued, raising his eyebrows, "That's good. Did you finally take up my suggestion and join a secret bunny rescue squad?"
"What? No!"
The older one frowned at his answer before his face straightened up to ask, "What kind of job did you get?"
