The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 313 The Child I Pushed (2)

Although the guy in front of him was wearing a baseball cap and a mask, Qian Xiaoyi could still recognize his true face.

"Ah!" Inuyama Heita felt a hand on his shoulder and was startled. A shadow flashed past him and retracted into his pocket.

"Brother Yi...Brother Yi? Why are you here?!" Inuyama Heita turned around and saw the person coming. He said in panic: "Things are not what you think!"

A otaku wearing a headband and glasses noticed that Inuyama Heita suddenly stopped moving, so he turned around and reminded him, "Hey, Ken, why are you not moving? Show us your strength quickly and let our princess see the result of our hard rehearsal!"

"Sorry... I'm sorry!" Inuyama Heita said in a panic: "I met someone I know."

"We have something to discuss. Let me borrow this thing for you." Qian Xiaoyi said to the otaku with a smile.

"Ah... is it an acquaintance? Then you guys go quickly, and come back soon. I'll keep the spot for you, as we'll still need you to lead the dance later." The otaku with glasses nodded, and continued to shout slogans to cheer, not paying attention to this little thing.

In the corner, Qian Xiaoyi looked at Inuyama Heita's outfit with a teasing look and said, "Hey~ I didn't expect you to have such a hobby, Hentaro."

Inuyama Heita was sweating profusely and defended himself, "No, Brother O! It's not what you think. It was Mr. Ken who forced me to do this! Mr. Ken, come out and explain!"

He took out the jade pendant, but it was very quiet, as if there was no ghost of a dead house living inside it.

"Mr. Ken! Come out! Come out and explain!" Inuyama Heita roared with cold sweat.

"Okay, okay, don't be so excited." Qian Xiaoyi said very considerately: "People's hobbies are free. As long as it doesn't interfere with others or violate public order, then your hobbies are correct. No one can say you are disgusting, right? Bentaro."

"No! It's not like that!" Inuyama Heita said desperately, "I'm not an otaku! This is not my hobby! It's all Mr. Ken's fault! I'm not Hentaro! You obviously feel disgusted!"

He excitedly recounted what happened. It all started with this guy Ajian. After all, he was an employee of the firm. When there was a commission, he would often come out to help check if there were any supernatural phenomena that Qian Xiaoyi and the others had not noticed. So he occasionally needed to be paid a little "salary".

Qian Xiaoyi gave this task to Inuyama Heita, so Inuyama Heita would agree to some of Ajian's reasonable requests when he was free, such as playing games, eating something, or visiting comic exhibitions.

The otaku with glasses was the one Ajian met at the comic convention. The two hit it off immediately and became friends in just a few minutes. Then, the otaku with glasses introduced to Ajian the trainee idol he was promoting recently, and they had a cheering dance battle on the spot. After that, the two of them felt a sense of mutual admiration in front of everyone.

Looking at Inuyama Heita's desperate eyes, Qian Xiaoyi could imagine how embarrassing the scene was. He estimated that if the situation continued, this guy would be so ashamed and angry that he would bang his head against the wall and die.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Qian Xiaoyi said with a strange smile: "It's not easy for you, too, Bian Taro."

"Don't say that name!" Inuyama Heita cried while holding his head. Fortunately, the scene was so noisy that no one noticed that there was a guy who was extremely angry. Inuyama Heita was going to meet Qian Xiaoyi at WTV tonight and explore the building as usual. However, Jian said that there was an idol event today and he had to attend it no matter what. In addition, Qian Xiaoyi usually didn't go to places that had already been explored, so Inuyama Heita thought that since he had to come to WTV anyway, he might as well come early and go directly to Qian Xiaoyi after the event.

Unexpectedly, Qian Xiaoyi also came here.

"Don't talk about that anymore. Why did you come here, Brother Otoko?" Inuyama Heita asked suspiciously, "So you are also like Ken, you are... in pain!"

"What are you thinking about!" Qian Xiaoyi knocked the guy on the head with a knife and said contemptuously: "Do you think I'm one of those otakus over there? I came here for serious business, don't confuse me with you guys!"

Inuyama Heita looked at him with his eyes wide open: "I can't figure out why you came here. You must want to see your idol in person..."

"Tsk~ Xiao Gui is Xiao Gui." Qian Xiaoyi pointed to the backstage and said, "Aren't there other people here besides idols? I'm not here for those trainees who like to sing, dance and rap. I'm here to find their manager. Did you forget? It's the commission from the former idol lady."

"Ms. Tachibana's commission?" Inuyama Heita suddenly realized: "Could it be that the agent has a relationship with Usa Mi Sakura?"

Qian Xiaoyi nodded: "Yes, she once managed Usa Miura for a period of time when she just debuted. Although she was no longer Usa Miura's agent when the accident happened, she knew Usa Miura very well. It is said that the two of them are like sisters...Okay, we don't need you here for the time being, go back to cheer, Bantarou."

"I'm not Hentaro!!!" Inuyama Heita was defeated: "It's all your fault! Mr. Ken!!!"

Leaving the frustrated high school student behind, Qian Xiaoyi came to the backstage unimpeded. In the side passage of the stage, a professional woman in a suit and a ponytail was staring at the performances of the trainee idols on the stage, nodding and frowning from time to time, and writing something in a small notebook.

"Hello, are you Miss Takatani Chieko?" Qian Xiaoyi came to her side and said, "I am Qian Xiaoyi. Miss Tachibana should have told you about this, right?"

Takaya Chieko suddenly heard someone talking next to her and was startled. She saw Qian Xiaoyi and quickly bowed and said, "Yes, I am Takaya Chieko. Mr. Qian, I have heard of your name a long time ago. It's our first meeting. Please take care of me."

Qian Xiaoyi scratched his cheek. To be honest, he didn't expect Takaya Chieko to be so humble and polite to him. He had already prepared himself for a cold rejection.

In fact, he still didn't understand the current situation of the Japanese television industry. Ordinary idols do not have a high status because this industry is so competitive. Every year, there are countless idols who want to debut. Not to mention movie stars, many actors who specialize in variety shows have a higher status than these idols. So when Chieko Takaya saw Qian Xiaoyi, she was very panicked.

Qian Xiaoyi was a celebrity who had recently become very popular on TV. As a small agent specializing in training trainee idols, she couldn't afford to offend him, so she had to be polite to him.

"Excuse me...Mr. Qian, what do you want to talk to me about?" Chieko Takatani asked cautiously.

Qian Xiaoyi was somewhat surprised by the other party's reaction. He asked tentatively, "Well, Ms. Gao Gu once coached an idol named Usa Mi Sakura, right?"
