The Number One Star in the Interstellar Era [BL]

Chapter 348



Chapter 348: FIRST VARIETY SHOW (III)

AFTER the host’s explanation of what they should do, the three were sent to a make-shift dressing room to change to appropriate clothing. After all, they couldn’t do their job as a ‘fisherman’ with the clothes they’re wearing.

The first task given to them was to help a local fisherman get 10 kilograms of fish. They would board the fisherman’s fishing vessel and assist them. As soon as they reached the quota given to them by the program team, their first task would be considered as a success.

The three walked out of the make-shift dressing room almost at the same time. When they saw each other, Lauren quickly burst into laughter, Miria had a cramped expression, while Astrid only shook his head with a helpless smile.

The three of them were all wearing the same type of baggy overalls. The only difference was the color. Astrid was wearing red, Miria was wearing yellow, while Lauren was wearing purple. If there was someone wearing a green overalls, they would totally look like the teletubbies.

Should Astrid be thankful that there were only three of them?

Well, people in this era probably didn’t know teletubbies. So, even if there’s someone wearing a green overall, the people watching the broadcast would probably not see the resemblance.

Lauren looked at the camera following him. “What do you think of our work uniform, cute, right?”

“I admire your unique taste,” Miria commented.

Because she was not particularly on the taller side of the usual female height, not to mention her slim physique, this shapeless and baggy clothing didn’t really flatter her body. It made her look like a child playing dress-up. Except that the child had a bad taste in clothes.

This was probably the program teams tactic to make them look funny. If not, they wouldn’t make these overalls in blaring neon colors. That’s right. The color of their clothes was not just the simple color, it’s the type that would literally glow in the dark. Especially her yellow overall.

She glanced at Astrid with envy. Because despite wearing such a not so pretty clothes, he still looked beautiful.

She sighed and then looked at the camera following her. “While looking at Astrid, I just realize that humans are not really made equally.”

She said that with an exaggerated sad expression. This was a variety show anyway. The least she could do was to be entertaining.

After changing clothes, the staffs accompanying them led them to the fishing vessel of the fisherman they would be helping today. On their way there, not many people paid attention to them. Some glanced but that was it.

Which was understandable. It was still pretty early in the morning. Most people in the dock were fishermen readying themselves for a busy day ahead.

The fishing vessel they went to was a small boat incomparable to the other large fishing vessels surrounding it. It was even more surprising to see that the fisherman they were about to help still looked very young. He could be in his 20s or 50s, which was still considered young in this era’s standard.

The fisherman was tall and lean with a shy expression on his face. He didn’t seem to be an experienced fisherman at all. The three even wondered if the program team actually grabbed some random guy and let him pretend to be a fisherman. But regardless with their guess, they still greeted the other enthusiastically.

“Hello, we’re be the one who will be helping you today!”

After that, they introduced themselves one by one.

“Yes, hello. I’m Jed. Let’s work hard today.”

Although the other – Jed – tried to sound positive and bright, the three could still hear the worry in his voice. They could easily tell that he must be worried that they would mess up his fishing schedule today.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Jed, we’ll do our best not to be a nuisance to you,” Astrid tried to assure the other.

“That’s right. Please, trust us,” Miria seconded, although deep inside she also wasn’t so sure that they could do this well.

“Brother Jed, we will definitely capture as many fish as you need!” Lauren said with confidence, even tapping his chest, as if to prove how serious he was.

But that line just immediately bit him a few moments later.

———-

Ash slowly opened his eyes, yawning as he did. He turned his head towards the clock to see what time it was. But as he did, what caught his attention first was Reas on the bed opposite him. The other was sitting up and watching something on his Terminal. His sleepiness quickly disappeared at that moment. Especially after seeing Reas chuckling.

He sat up from the bed. “You- why are you still here?”

Reas glanced at him. You couldn’t tell from his expression that he was smiling just now. “This is my dorm room or have you forgotten?”

“No, I mean, you’re usually out exercising at this hour,” Ash said.

Both of them didn’t have an early class during this day. So, he was already accustomed to Reas spending time working out instead. And yet, the other was just lazing about and watching- wait- watching?

“Are you watching your brother’s first variety appearance?” Ash asked. He remembered that today was it’s live broadcast. “Let me watch too!”

He hopped down of his bed and went to Reas.

Reas, on the other hand, quickly changed the camera he’s following to that of his brother. So, the moment Ash jumped to his bed and looked at the Terminal, what the other saw was Astrid.

Ash, who didn’t notice anything, looked at the Terminal with interest. He saw that Astrid seemed to be on some kind of boat. The other was controlling some kind of fishing mechanism?

“What are they doing?” he asked.

“Fishing,” – Reas’ simple answer. “Or at least Astrid is, doing the fishing I mean. I’m not really sure what the other two are doing.”

As he remembered what Lauren was doing earlier, an uncontrollable smiled crossed his lips once again.
