Chapter 279 You are lucky
Although the proportion of bad guys in the two-dimensional world is usually relatively small, Iura Hide, who comes from the three-dimensional world, is no less wary.

If it is someone he does not know, understand, or is not familiar with, even if it is a beautiful woman who comes to his door, he will refuse her without hesitation.

Look, after seeing Iura Hidemitsu quickly dodge, Sugaya Noha and others, who were originally frowning and very angry, all smiled and their mood became much better.

At the same time, the other female fans who had originally planned to rush forward stopped one by one and began to back down in their hearts.

In fact, these female fans are all internet celebrities with ulterior motives.

The video of Inui Sasuke kissing Iura Hide last week went viral, so naturally these "smart" people would learn from her.

However, if they couldn't kiss Iura Hide and Iura Hide avoided them, they would just look at Nanami Kuon from afar and feel embarrassed for Nanami Kuon, okay?
In this case, even if it is filmed and uploaded to YouTube, generating enough heat, this heat cannot be converted into their popularity and fans, but will instead make them clowns.

In that case, they won’t even become popular, they will be out of business!
After all, in Japan, the black and red routes are not feasible.

At this time, after being shocked, Toshihiko Karasawa felt a mixture of relief and fear. He quickly took out his mobile phone and sent a message to the company's publicity team, asking them to suspend their future plans.

At the same time, after seeing Iura Hide dodge, Nanami Kuon on the stage was also frozen in place with a look of astonishment on her face, and it took her several seconds to come back to her senses.

Then, she also thought of the terrible consequence of becoming a laughing stock once she was recognized. She felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave, enveloped by an invisible chill of terror. Her blood froze, her hands and feet became cold, and she couldn't help shaking all over.

"It's over."

Kuon Nanami couldn't help but feel despair.

Her identity simply cannot withstand further investigation.

Although she began to perform on stage wearing a clown-like mask under the arrangement of Toshihiko Karasawa shortly after joining Key Time Agency, she always wore a mask and did not show her face whether she was shooting a commercial or appearing on a show.

But if you are an old fan who has been following her from the beginning, you should be able to recognize her at a glance, not to mention that she has tied her hair into her signature twin ponytails.

If this video is as popular as last week's video
No, considering the number of fans and YouTube followers of Iura Hide, it is hard for this video not to be popular.

so.
"My identity will definitely be recognized by everyone!"

Thinking of this, Jiuyuan Nanami couldn't help but become more desperate. Not a trace of blood appeared on her pretty face, and her body was shaking even more violently.

Even the dazzling lights on the stage could not stop the endless darkness from invading and completely swallowing her up.

But just when she was about to fall into the abyss, Jingpu Xiu, who had clearly dodged two or three meters away, walked towards her again under her stunned gaze.

"what--"

"Hismi Masai!"

"I just had a bit of a stress reaction because of some of the experiences last week."

The energetic voice, with just the right amount of awkwardness and embarrassment, spread throughout the entire exhibition hall with the help of the microphone that was picked up.

It was like a ray of warm sunshine that instantly melted the layers of ice covering her and pulled her back from the abyss of despair.

"He did it on purpose!"

Kuon Nanami suddenly couldn't help wanting to burst into tears!
Because she knew that Iura Hide came back to save her after seeing her despair, otherwise there would be no need for Iura Hide to pick up the microphone and let everyone hear this explanation.

"You want to shake my hand?"

"Ok!"

As Nanami Kuon looked at Iura Hide's right hand reaching out to her, she couldn't help but bite her lips even harder, because she was afraid that once she opened her mouth, she would no longer be able to hold back her tears.

"Thank you for your love and support! But don't rush onto the stage suddenly next time. Even if you really can't help but rush onto the stage, don't run so fast. Give me some time to react."

Jingpu Xiu made a small joke.

At the same time, Nanami Kuon also trembled and held Iura Hide's hand amid the kind laughter from the audience.

It is warm, soft, and yet full of power, making people feel extremely safe.

At this moment, Jingpu Xiu's sunny smile and the warmth of his palm turned into a sense of security that she had never experienced before, and was deeply imprinted in her heart.

A crisis that could have made her and the entire AZALEA a laughing stock and plunged into the abyss was successfully resolved with Iura Hide's smile.

"You're lucky!"

In the moving black nanny car, Toshihiko Karasawa, who was originally brushing the oil pipe, finally relaxed a lot with his tense face after receiving a phone call. He turned to Nanami Kuon, who had been keeping her head down and not speaking, and spoke.

Kuon Nanami didn't react at all when she heard that, but she subconsciously clenched her right hand.

Tang Ze Shouyan just glanced at her calmly and continued, "Your identity has indeed been exposed by netizens and your fans."

"But because Jingpu Xiu took the initiative to help you out, everyone's attention was focused on the fact that he was frightened and had a stress reaction due to the forced kiss last week."

"I just think your behavior is a bit rash."

"And because most of Iura's fans feel that it is normal to be excited to see Iura's live performance, especially the performance of "Sold Out"."

"So your and AZALEA's popularity didn't suffer any loss. On the contrary, because of your careful dressing this time, you attracted more than 2,000 fans who like your looks."

“It’s a bit of a blessing in disguise.”

Kuon Nanami's expression remained unchanged, and even the emotions in her heart remained the same.

Because whenever she thinks of Iura Hide's smile, the warmth and security she has never felt before will reappear, so she has never worried about whether she and AZALEA will be affected since she left the stage.

However, when Toshihiko Karasawa later mentioned that the original script was cancelled and the beauty trap against Iura Hide was abandoned, her expression finally showed a slight change.

Although he did not take the initiative to ask what the next plan was, he turned his head slightly to look at Toshihiko Karasawa.

"I will continue to ask the agency for more funding and resources for you. Besides, aren't you guys determined to continue being a traditional band?"

"Next Saturday, Iura Hide and his Thousand Miles of Sunshine Band should be performing at the Stars. I will try my best to arrange for you to perform before them." "As for the rest, whether you want to do it or how you want to do it, I will not interfere. It's up to you."

Before he could finish, Kuon Nanami couldn't help but pause for breath, her pupils contracted violently, and she turned her head abruptly to look at him.

"You really agree that we should be a band again!?"

Hearing this, Tang Ze Shouyan couldn't help but smile playfully, and asked calmly: "Do you know the difference between a kite and an eagle?"

"Both of them yearn for freedom and soar into the sky."

“The difference is that once the kite loses the person holding the string, it will fall after it is free.”

After a pause, he continued, "I have calculated over and over again. With less than three months left, it will cost at least 300 million yen to get you on the stage of Summer Sonia."

"This is more than five times the nearly 60 million yen that the agency has invested in you over the past six months."

"The most important thing is, even if you temporarily raise your popularity to the upper second tier and appear on the Summer Sonia stage, can you maintain this popularity with your own strength and talent?"

"Even if a 60 million yen investment is lost, it's not too serious. But if a 300 million yen investment is lost, the entire firm will be seriously damaged."

"So the firm is unlikely to approve the money."

"Based on my understanding of the other partners in the firm, they would be very lucky if they could approve a maximum of 5000 million."

"As a result, it is almost impossible to go on the Summer Sonia stage if I continue along the same path."

"Instead of that, why not gamble on how much potential you can unleash after regaining your freedom and whether you can create a miracle?"

"Anyway, the worst-case scenario is that you'll be back to when you first came to Tokyo, right?"

"Although the company will take 90% of your performance fees, it will also provide you with a free practice room."

"Plus, we haven't even recovered half of the 6000 million we invested in you, so you're not actually losing money."

"Also, the company will not take the money you earn from working in convenience stores and small restaurants, so you can still work during the day and rehearse and perform at night like you did before."

Toshihiko Karasawa stopped talking and leaned back in the comfortable chair, closing his eyes and resting.

At the same time, Nanami Kuon beside him had already lowered her head unconsciously, her nails digging deeply into her palms.

Let’s go back to when we first came to Tokyo three years ago?
To be honest, she herself could hold on, but what about her two companions?
At the beginning, her two companions could no longer hold on and had to buy train tickets to return home. Now that they are older, after enjoying a superior life, the praise of their family, and the love of their fans, can they still hold on after returning to the starting point?
Unlike Tsukimi Eiko and Kawaharaki Momoka, her dream, or what she values ​​more, is that the three people in her band continue on the path of music together.

Tsukimi Eiko and Kawaharaki Momoka didn't care and continued on their own.

Especially Momoka Kawahara, because she didn't want to transform into a singing and dancing girl idol, she directly quit the band.

Even if I can't make it in the end and plan to go back to my hometown, I won't regret it.

But she couldn't do it. She would rather sacrifice herself and transform herself into an idol, just to keep two teammates who were tortured by poverty, hardship and hopelessness and wanted to leave.

Therefore, without the intervention of strong external forces, she, who values ​​her companions too much, will still choose the same option no matter what time it is or how many times she has to choose.

However, although there are no Tsukimi Eiko and Kong Ming to stimulate her now, there is a new option in addition to the original two options.

This option would not only allow her and her companions to gain freedom, but also allow the two companions to enjoy a better life and continue to accompany her.

The most important thing is that she herself does not reject it at all, and even desires it very much.

The only drawback is that because of the mixed interests, her relationship with Iura Hide is no longer pure.

To be honest, it was not only Toshihiko Karasawa who felt that his tactic of retreating to advance would make Nanami Kuon compromise.

Even Nanami Kuon herself knew very well that if she had encountered that scene on the stage tonight, she would definitely agree without hesitation and would not even have any resistance in her heart.

But unfortunately, the experience of less than two minutes on the stage before completely changed her. The status of Iura Hide in her heart has long surpassed that of her favorite idol, the now slightly outdated American pop queen Maria Diesel, reaching an unprecedented height.

Even if she just inadvertently recalled Jingpu Xiu's smile, the emotions of gratitude, admiration and love would fill and overflow in her heart.

So this new option did not make things easier for her, but made it even more difficult.

In the original story, although she was deeply touched by her relationship with Tsukimi Eiko, she still chose to form a "girl idol band" to maintain the continued existence of the band.

In the end, they were forced to borrow arrows from a straw boat and lay eggs from a chicken, and they had already lost 1 million yen in funding and the opportunity to perform on the Summer Sonia stage.

Only then did they reluctantly return to the band in the name of "finding themselves".

Now she had three options before her.

The first option is to give up the Summer Sonia stage and continue to maintain the route of "girl idol band", retain two teammates with superior material life, and maintain the band. The disadvantage is that I am not happy.

The second option is to return to being a normal band. The advantage is that you can rediscover yourself and your original intention and gain short-term spiritual pleasure.

The disadvantage is that if they fail to create miracles, the company will completely abandon them and turn them into the lowest-level money-making tools.

And their lives will return to the starting point, and there is a high probability that the two teammates will not be able to hold on, leading to the disbandment of the band.

As for the third option, it is to go back to being a traditional band, but we have to catch up with Iura Hide.

Compared to having no choice, having so many options now makes her more tortured.

In addition, she didn't know Tsukimi Eiko yet, and there was no one to talk to her and relieve her stress. This made her suddenly feel an unprecedented fatigue in her heart. She couldn't help but close her eyes and leaned weakly on the back of the chair.

"Am I really wrong?"

"A happy marriage can also break up, a couple in love can also break up, even the best of friends can have fights, so why can't a band disband?"
