I'm sure it's partly to hide her real life gender but it might be more than that. Paraphrasing Akatsuki "games are fun because you can do things you can't in real life." All I do know is she probably doesn't do the idol routine in real life. She probably uses it for lots of things: hiding her gender, a cover for things she can't do "Idols are only allowed to cook sweets", as an answer to questions she doesn't want to answer "because I'm an idol!". Yeah, that's the way I kind of see it, her being like Nureha in that way (though most likely without Nureha's tragic past).

When I started writing I was kind of using the anime as my basis and most people knew she was a boy (though I like the other version better). I didn't know enough about the LN to know who, other than Kazuhiko and Shiroe, knew about it. I really don't get how the others figured  it out in the anime. Maybe Tohya figured it out and told the other 'kids'. There's a few things in that episode I really didn't like and that was one of them.

Serara and Roe2 would make sense. My only issue with Roe2 is that she's not an adventurer. Can Fools join guilds? I wonder if any of the kids wanted to add her to their friend list. They might not have tried with Dariella since they thought she was a Lander. I think Kanami should stay in her little group. I kind of like Demi-Demi working with the SS but I think he's more likely to join than Kanami. It's also possible that we haven't met at least one of the future members yet, though at this point they'd be joining the story quite late.

I don't know how to share without an email address. I had one person make some comments on that story and most the changes I did in the Word file and not in that file.

If I remember right from what Isuzu said at the beginning of vol. 8, being a bard or any musical class (I would assume idol as well) doesn't give you musical abilities but doesn't limit you. If someone is a mucians in real life but doesn't have a musical class, I think it limits their ability to play. If you have a musical class, it takes off the limits. It doesn't make you able to sing but if you have a good voice in the other world you will be able to sing in this one too. I think bards are able to unlock the ability in those around them too (if you have no natural ability, like Rudy, then you can't play instruments or sing). It must have been frustrating for people to not be able to do stuff they once could do in the other world, just because they don't have the skill in ET (like cooking). Though if now people who couldn't cook in ET before can (as seen by Serara, I think she can cook a bit without the apron in the last arc), it seems that the limits based on skills are a little more relaxed about 1 year in.

lol maybe. That might have been it. She is an attention whore... I mean idol... afterall.

Oh, I started working on the episodes, starting with 9: the changing battlefield, since that's where they seem to start lacking (though the William episode is probably fine so I'll skip that one). I needed to stop and write out the list of names for each party based on Shiroe's view since they don't match up with the official order (like Shiroe is at the top of the list, not #6). I can't read Japanese so figuring out who's who in advance makes it easier to see who's dead and stuff. The only party I new was Party 2, except for the SS members on it. I knew it was Shiroe, Nao, Tet and then Demi-Demi was at the end. Anyway it paused too long and crunchroll froze so I'll continue again later. I'm not sure how detailed to get but since Ep. 9 had sections marked already I figured I had to fill them.
