Take Down the Boss, Then Put on a Talent Show [Western Fantasy]

[A short-tempered, hard-luck, overworked fangirl event planner x an innocent, obedient, dependable dragon who knows what needs doing]

[Western fantasy idol survival show, species free-for-all, vampire lady takes action]

First, take down the incompetent bosses standing in the way.

Turns out, wherever you transmigrate, you're still a wage slave.

The vampire lady, who still had to clock in every day after transmigrating to a Western fantasy world, hadn't done anything to deserve this.

The vampire lady, suddenly told she had to organize a huge entertainment event, was even more unfairly burdened.

Get lost, get lost, all of you, get lost!

The useless, upside-down bat who takes credit for everything and does nothing while dumping all the work on her subordinates, get lost!

The pretentious boss who puts on a show every day and treats subordinates like dirt, you can get lost too!

The nepotism hire trying to skip the idol show's auditions, get lost!

The partner who can't understand a word and works at a snail's pace, get lost!

And the idol trainee who's terrible at fan service but has actually fallen in love, you especially can get lost!

Do you even know how to be a boss? If not, get lost. I'll take over.

Can we run the idol show or not? If not, get lost. There are plenty of other people who can audition.

Boss: “An idol show?”

Xiao You: “Right, an idol show. We'll pick over a hundred talented people from different species, put them together to compete, and debut the eleven best as a group!” Then we'll revive the Western fantasy entertainment industry!

The boss suddenly understood.

So the best and strongest from every walk of life and every species were sent to Xiao You: demons, beastfolk, vampires, elves, outstanding graduates from military academies, princess guards, and more.

...Huh? Is that so? These are the people who are supposed to debut?

These people, who only know how to sell their ship by grabbing each other by the collar, beating each other up, and pinning each other to the ground? Who sneak out at night to practice killing monsters for screen time, only to find the camera completely splattered with monster blood... these people are supposed to debut?

Xiao You flew helplessly from south to north. “Stop fighting! If you want to fight, go do it in a monster's nest.”

Then helplessly flew from north to south. “Stop flirting with each other. The two of you are seriously gross.”

She struggled from the castle to the grasslands. “Who told you this was your supplies? My coworker just tested it. These are defective blood bags! They'll kill you if you eat them!!!”

Then struggled from the grasslands to Dragon Island. “You're the only normal dragon, sweetie. Are you really not going to debut? I'll make you a flying guest challenger, ”

The puppy dragon flapped her wings and used a wingtip to lift the drenched vampire lady. She said seriously, “I can't. The dragons at home won't let me go out and do this.”

[Bonus Scene]

Miss Xiao You was decisive and ruthless. She'd cussed out eighteen trainees in one night, then slammed papers and files around in her boss's office. But she could get lost, too.

She sat by the window, hugging her knees. The moon on the horizon seemed so close, and yet so very far away.

The puppy dragon sat quietly beside her, dutifully playing the strong, silent type.

“Sometimes I wonder why I came here at all.”

“I don't have anything I want to do, and there's nowhere I can go back to. I just go to work, toil away, and stay alive.”

She grabbed the puppy dragon's sleeve. “How about this? You tell me what to do, tell me how to live.”

The little dragon looked into her eyes and slowly, firmly shook her head.

“Xiao You, I can't.”

“I shouldn't be, and can't be, this important to you.”

[Reading Guide]

1. Happy ending, 1v1, both sexually inexperienced.

2. This is my take on Western fantasy. The species and their abilities are made up after looking at various versions online.

3. The heroine isn't high-ranking, but she's a great fighter and very capable. She's a pushover who talks back to her boss, polite but sarcastic to the whole world, and her manners depend on how strong the other person is.

Theme: Never let yourself down.
