Crossing over, and then being blocked by a rich JK.

Chapter 551 The All-Powerful Her

The follow-up content of the interview was indeed somewhat unexpected for Watanabe Yu.

The host's questions became increasingly abstract, ranging from "Would you consider finding a new partner?" to "Are you satisfied with your current partner?" and finally, "Is there anyone you like?"

To be honest, this was less a Q&A session based on online demand and more a one-sided, malicious, and clumsy performance designed to embarrass the interviewee.

It's hard to imagine that this audio interview was arranged by MusicNet. It's so abstract that he's starting to suspect that the department on MusicNet's side has been corrupted.

It was unexpectedly outrageous.

According to industry practice, the questions for this audio interview should have been reviewed by the music website's liaison department before the singer was contacted.

In other words, the fact that such a problem can be passed is not just a problem, but a major problem!

However, Yuki's attitude surprised him. Throughout the process, Yuki remained very calm, with little emotional fluctuation and no obvious changes in tone.

To be fair, compared to the girl who was terrified like a quail when faced with danger, Yuki has indeed grown a lot.

He really didn't expect that Yuki would give such an answer when faced with the host's last difficult question.

She didn't hide anything and openly told everyone that she had someone she liked, but she couldn't reveal their name.

It's important to know that in Japan, the private lives of singers and celebrities are strictly controlled.

To be precise, active and popular singers and celebrities do not have the right to date, let alone publicly announce their relationships.

The spending power of "dream men" and "dream women" is astonishing.

Don't you think their questions are strange?

Setting down her fork, Risa Yasuhara snorted coldly and uttered those words in an unfriendly tone.

"This is no longer a simple indirect approach; it's a blatant attempt to trip us up and annoy us. We need to deliver a strong blow!"

This is clearly targeted; it's the kind of thing where they can't openly sabotage someone, so they resort to finding ways to annoy people with minor issues.

Moreover, starting from the sixth question, they were all trap questions, clearly intended to secretly sabotage Yuki.

These underhanded tricks really infuriated her.

"Loyalty! Sincerity! Lady Risa, please give the order!"

Upon hearing this, Watanabe Yu's dissatisfaction with the music website subsided somewhat, but to avoid Risa's emotional handling of the matter, he adjusted his emotions, sat up straight, and cooperatively continued the conversation.

Some problems do need to be addressed by tracing their origins, but they shouldn't be handled emotionally.

The angrier you are, the calmer you must be, because only by remaining calm can you make those with ill intentions pay a real price that will cause them extreme pain.

But then again, he really didn't expect that Risa would know about the whole Kaka meme.

No wonder people always say that if she wanted to, she could definitely become one with the students.

So that's what it means to "beat" each other into one.

"What orders do I give?"

Risa Yasuhara was stunned for a moment, then laughed in exasperation.

Her comment about throwing a heavy punch wasn't meant as a joke; she was just saying whatever came to mind when she was really angry.

But she would definitely do something to get revenge for Yuki.

“I don’t have a single penny to lose, and it’s hard for outsiders like us to control these kinds of things.”

She took a deep breath, composed herself, and began to analyze the situation carefully.

"So the best way is to contact the music website and let them take charge of the coordination and accountability. Given how much they value you, as long as you make your position clear, they will definitely stand their ground and conduct a thorough internal investigation."

The operation of the music website does not depend on individual entertainment companies; on the contrary, entertainment companies with artists under their wing need to rely on the music website.

After all, it's the only music website app with a relatively objective and fair algorithm and extremely high usage.

Furthermore, music websites can take this opportunity to clean up the people who have been assigned to them by various companies.

It's like killing two birds with one stone.

Given the temperament of the person in charge of the music website at the moment, this opportunity is like a "pillow delivered to their door."

He was just looking for an excuse to give those people a warning.

"Ah."

Without wasting any words, Watanabe Yu took out his phone and contacted the people on the music website.

That was his original plan, but he didn't expect Risa to be so blunt and expose those people's "face-saving project".

It's quite interesting, though. The staff member who always liaised with him always said that the music website would do everything possible to protect and support singers like them who weren't signed to any record company.

So that's how they protect and support you!?

You should know that the questions that the host asked were things that are absolutely forbidden to be asked in the industry.

It's one of the unspoken rules of TV interviews: even the least famous debut singers can't be asked about it.

Asking that question will definitely offend a lot of singers.

To put it bluntly, people go on shows to increase their fame, not to be harassed by you in various ways.

So this time he was really curious about how the people on the music website would explain it, what the host of the interview program was thinking, and what their boss had promised that would make them risk their careers to do this.

If this gets blown up, how will they ever be able to continue working in this industry?

Even if this matter is suppressed, they will no longer be able to stay on as hosts of this program.

The host of this program has to put in a lot of effort, both in the public eye and in the private eye, to get the job.

After thinking for a moment, he expressed all his dissatisfaction in writing, questioning the staff member he was dealing with with a strong attitude.

Watanabe Yu was well aware that the other party was innocent, but often, especially in situations like this where accountability is being demanded, a tough and 'rash' attitude is necessary.

In situations where one is already in the right, the bigger the temper, the more likely one is to cause trouble, and the faster the other party will handle the situation and the more satisfactory the response will be.

This is a classic case of "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" and "the ruthless are afraid of those who are fearless."

I've blown up with you.jpg
"Would you like anything else? Like another steak or something?"

Seeing Watanabe Yu start typing on her phone, Yasuhara Risa nodded in satisfaction, then casually asked a question, pretending to be going to pay the bill.

Yes, she did say that laymen have a hard time dealing with this problem, but that only applies to ordinary laymen. For her, it was a completely different story.

The Yasuhara family's main business is investment. They have invested in almost every company that has the potential to seek investment, and they are involved in all kinds of industries.

In a sense, she really was the all-powerful noblewoman he had jokingly referred to before.

"Hmm, I'd also like to have a chuck steak and a tomahawk steak."

Upon hearing this, Watanabe Yu didn't stand on ceremony and directly said those words.

He definitely didn't eat enough.

The steak at this Western restaurant is of excellent quality and taste, but the portion size is a bit small.

In his view, an average high school student would need to order at least two large steaks and at least two snacks to feel full if they came here to eat.

If you're someone who can eat a lot, the starting point is three large steaks.

As it happened, he was genuinely hungry today, so he had to be placed in the group where the bigger eaters were. "Okay."

Risa Yasuhara nodded, stood up, and walked towards the bar, but after a few steps she stopped and turned back as if she had remembered something.

"Let me order you a fruit salad and some chicken wings. Also, would you like a drink? Like sparkling water or coffee?"

She could tell that he really hadn't eaten enough.

Moreover, high school students are naturally big eaters; otherwise, there wouldn't be the saying "a half-grown boy can eat his father out of house and home" on the other side of the strait.

"The simplest lemonade will do."

Watanabe Yu put down his phone and then gave his answer.

His attitude was clear, and the staff member responsible for liaising with him also solemnly stated that he would immediately notify his superiors to handle the matter.

He made the reply show as read, but did not type a reply.

There's a saying that's very true: sometimes not replying is the best reply.

But then again, he finally understood why Yuki's expression was a little unnatural when he asked her how the recording went after the interview.

He noticed something was wrong with her at the time, but no matter how many times he pressed her for answers, Yuki always gave him that "you're making a mountain out of a molehill" look.

Left with no other option, he could only conclude that it was due to Ji's physical discomfort.

In retrospect, his initial intuition was correct.

but……

This girl is really something, why is she so stubborn just to avoid making me worry?

"Ok!"

After hearing his answer, Risa Yasuhara nodded and turned to go to the front desk.

After ordering and paying, she walked out of the Western restaurant and took out her phone to make a call.

If she could, she wouldn't want to get too involved in this kind of thing, but since they've all been so disgusting and targeting her students, she wouldn't mind using her family connections to protect them.

So what if they're unreasonable? Anyone can be unreasonable!

*
That night, in the master bedroom of the Watanabe residence.

"What did you talk about?"

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Ayana Amamiya, who was drying her wet hair with a towel, looked at him.

Mr. Troll was sitting at the small table with his back to her.

The reason she only asked now was because when he got home, he talked to her about Yuki's voice interview.

Their attention had been entirely focused on that matter before.

"We talked about pretending to be boyfriends."

Watanabe Yu sighed, turned his chair around to face the Saintess, and made a helpless expression.

Before Ayana asked, he had been struggling with how to say it, but no matter how much he thought about it, he just couldn't bring himself to say it.

It feels like telling someone a lie that's so old-fashioned it couldn't be more so.

It's both abstract and somewhat embarrassing to talk about.

So the fact that the Holy Maiden asked him on her own initiative actually helped him.

After all, he doesn't have the nerve to bring it up himself.

"It's really not that simple."

Hearing Watanabe Yu say that, the saintess smiled and shook her head, then gave him a look that said, "See, I wasn't wrong."

She had guessed it long before Watanabe Yu set off.

However, she was still somewhat uncertain at the time. After all, such clichéd plots usually only appear in TV dramas, and in the last two years, screenwriters seem to have realized that the plots are outdated and have stopped writing similar stories.

But it is clear that works of art are far less abstract than real life.

At least the former involves logic, while the latter doesn't even consider logic.

Sometimes I really wish you weren't so accurate.

Watanabe Yu nodded.

The Holy Maiden's ability to make her words come true is truly unparalleled.

But next time, could you be accurate about something else?
For example, in one's career or similar fields.

"This isn't my fault, and who would have thought it would actually come true?"

Ayana Amamiya began to defend herself.

She had only guessed the most dramatic possibility; if it actually happened, she would have been right.

"……Too."

Watanabe Yu paused for a moment, then nodded; she was indeed right.

"So you agreed."

She coughed softly and then asked the question.

"Ah."

"Then you'd better do your best and not let our Sister Risa lose face." The young lady put down the towel she was using to dry her hair and looked at him sincerely. "Don't think I'm being sarcastic; I'm speaking from the heart."

Because she was afraid he would misunderstand, she decided to explain.

She had experienced that feeling of being mocked or treated sarcastically, so she could understand the desire to retaliate.

She can't do what it means to not care, and she believes most people can't either.

She would never miss an opportunity to turn the tables, and similarly, Risa would surely feel the same way, so she could empathize with and understand her.

Moreover, Risa's attitude towards Mr. Troll has always been the same, like an older sister's attitude towards her younger brother, so there's no need to worry about any so-called sparks flying.

Given this premise, it would be truly outrageous for her to get jealous again.

There's a kind of beauty that comes from knowing everything but still choosing to act recklessly.

"I will."

Meeting her gaze and confirming that she wasn't being sarcastic, Watanabe Yu agreed very seriously.

"Anyway, you have to do your best." Ayana Amamiya paused, then changed the subject, "And then there's Ryoko's side. How often do you plan to take her back to her hometown to see her grandmother?"

This matter has been discussed before, but due to various reasons, a suitable time has not been found, so it can only be brought up again now.

However, his idea remained the same as before, and also the same as Ryoko's grandmother's: to go back to see her after he finished his entrance exams.

"Well, here's what I'm thinking..."

While Ryoko was still in the bathroom on the first floor, the two chatted about the specific date of their trip back to Ryoko's hometown and what they should bring.
