"Yeah, I saw it. So what if my songs are in the top four of the daily charts? You're making a big fuss over nothing~"

"Hey sir, your expression right now is really asking for a beating!"

"dog head.jpg"

In a cheap rental apartment two kilometers away, Xiao Ai, dressed only in a loose white T-shirt and gray shorts, sat cross-legged on the bed. She couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw the dog emoji sent by Kitagawa Yu.

"So, my senior has such a cute side?"

Xiao Ai muttered something under her breath, then continued sending: "President Saito, oh no, I should call him Deputy Director Saito now, he called me early this morning and said that a lot of people have been asking him about you, senior, and want your contact information!"

Kitagawa Yu raised an eyebrow in surprise as he looked at the new message from Ai.

"Why would they be asking Deputy Director Saito about me? Has the news of Ichigo Production's acquisition spread so quickly?"

"Yeah, it must have gotten out when he went out drinking with his friends last night."

Kitagawa Yu suddenly realized that it was related to the izakaya culture in Japan.

According to incomplete statistics, 90% of men in Japan will meet up with three or five colleagues or friends to have a few drinks at an izakaya after get off work, and the proportion is higher as they get older.

Those in the entertainment industry have more social interactions and engagements, and he is definitely one of the best in the field, so it's not surprising that news of Saito Ichigo joining Asuka Entertainment spread.

After all, Asuka Entertainment is no nobody. On the contrary, because it is backed by the Asuka Group, the company is well-known in the industry and no one dares to mess with it.

Saito Ichigo's rise from president of a small idol agency to vice president of the artist department at Asuka Entertainment is akin to a small workshop owner becoming the vice president of a newly established company under Musk's command.

This is obviously something to brag about.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy, senior?"

"Well, I'm a bit of a pain, so I don't want to be bothered," Kitagawa Yu said. This time, he wasn't Versailles; he genuinely had no intention of becoming famous in the entertainment industry.

"Should I speak to Deputy Director Saito about this?"

"Never mind, it's alright," Kitagawa Yu said after thinking for a moment.

He now holds the position of production director, and Saito Ichigo should be able to see his relationship with Ayako, so unless Saito Ichigo is stupid, he shouldn't leak my contact information without my permission.

"Alright then, I'll go make breakfast now. I'll have to trouble you today, senior!"

"Okay, okay, I got it. I'll call you when I get there."

Kitagawa Yu smiled and shook his head. He first switched back to the app interface, opened Yuna's profile, and checked the cumulative data for the three songs.

Unsurprisingly, "Renai Circulation" topped the list with a cumulative total of 4.9 paid downloads.

However, the difference between "She Embarked on a Journey" and "I'm So Cute, I'm Sorry" is not significant, reaching 4.4 and 4.7 respectively.

In addition, Yuna has 50,000 followers, which is no small number.

Kitagawa Yu then put away her phone, washed up, and went downstairs to make breakfast.

His schedule was packed today; after breakfast, he was going to help Xiao Ai move to the company dormitory.

This is both to make it more convenient for her to rehearse and to prevent her from being approached and endangered by obsessive fans like in the anime.

Then in the morning, I'll be giving vocal coaching to B-chan's two songs and Ai's single.

I'm going to visit Kaoru at the hospital at noon, and after I get back in the afternoon, I'll be helping Ayumi with her homework. Then, as her mentor and assistant, I'll be helping Yuna revise her artwork. I'll probably be busy until dinner time.

This kind of 'weekend overtime' did not make him feel annoyed at all; on the contrary, he felt very fulfilled.

"It would be great if we could soak in the hot springs after dinner."

"Should we create a hot spring at home, or create a portal that allows us to travel to Atami or Kusatsu at any time?"

"But wouldn't we need to buy a hot spring inn over there as a cover for the teleportation portal?"

While making breakfast, Kitagawa Yu pondered this problem. In the end, he decided to use the power of two wishes to cure his tone-deafness first.

"Hmm, 200 points of Wish Power. That looks better now!"

To be honest, he didn't expect that his tone-deafness could be cured with just 2 points of wish power. He remembered that it used to take 6 points at the beginning.

"It seems I've only been practicing breathing techniques lately. Could it be that breathing techniques, by developing the body's potential, can cure tone-deafness?"

Unfortunately, no one could answer his question.

Meanwhile, on the second floor of the Asuka family's mansion in Minato Ward, Ayako, who had just gotten up, casually picked up her phone from the bedside table, glanced at it, and then a sudden exclamation pierced through the door.

"Huh? It's already seven o'clock?! My alarm was set for six-thirty?!"

The morning sunlight streamed through the sheer curtains onto her bed, illuminating her long, jet-black hair that cascaded smoothly over her shoulders. Her fair, snow-white skin and trembling, long eyelashes shimmered with a deep and captivating luster in the morning light.

However, her pretty face, which even the Creator could only sculpt with a flash of inspiration, now had an adorable, blank expression.

Unfortunately, no one appreciated this scene that was enough to make anyone's heart flutter.

No, there is another person.

Ayako suddenly realized something, turned her head sharply to look at the door, and immediately saw that sweet and cute guy who was so cute it was almost unfair. She covered her mouth and giggled like a little fox who had stolen a chicken.

"Yu! No! Ko!"

"Hmm~ Hmm!" Yukiko, caught out, quickly wiped the smile off her face and said seriously, "Come on, I'm your older sister, you should at least add 'adult' after me, right?"

"Stop trying to change the subject! Did you set my alarm?"

Ayako threw off the covers and jumped out of bed, suppressing the urge to rush up and beat Yukiko up, or to be pinned to the ground and spanked by Yukiko. She quickly changed her clothes.

Her perfect figure, enough to make even Aphrodite jealous, was fully exposed.

Honestly, if Ayako had confessed to Kitagawa Yu in this manner, Kitagawa Yu might have been unable to resist and had agreed to be with her.

"Oh dear, I just wanted you to sleep a little longer since you stayed up so late last night."

"It's just two consecutive Japanese championships. Yuta is so talented, isn't that normal?"

"You know, staying up late and lack of sleep are a girl's worst enemies. You don't want to lose to your competitors in terms of beauty, do you?"

"."

Ayako paused involuntarily.

Even though they were all just excuses and guesses, she somehow found them to make perfect sense.

After all, Yukiko has always supported her pursuit of Kitagawa Yu.

"This guy's ability to bewitch people seems to have gotten even stronger."

Ayako quickly shook her head and snorted, "What if I'm late?"

"Don't worry, it won't happen. Besides, being late is a privilege bestowed upon us girls by the gods!"

"."

Ayako glared at her irritably, but quickly calculated in her mind that she wouldn't be late, and then breathed a slight sigh of relief.

However, this means her original plan to go early and cook breakfast with Kitagawa Yu will probably be ruined.

"Damn it, I was hoping to show off my cooking skills!"

Ayako muttered to herself expressionlessly.

Not far away, Yukiko seemed to have seen through her thoughts. Her two crystal-clear, jewel-like eyes instantly curved into two adorable crescent moons, and the corners of her mouth secretly turned up, along with her two shallow dimples, outlining her sweet smile.

"Ohayo~~~"

Accompanied by that familiar, energetic voice.

Ayumi pushed open the shop door and, like a cheerful little deer, ran in with light, quick steps.

Kitagawa Yu peeked out from the kitchen and immediately saw her slightly rosy cheeks and bright, energetic eyes, and couldn't help but smile as well.

Ayumi also saw Kitagawa Yu, and her pace quickened considerably as she happily ran towards him.

"Hey! Yu! Am I the first one here today?"

"Hmm, you didn't run all the way here, did you?"

"Hey hehe~"

Ayumi stuck out her tongue shyly, a silly smile on her face, and then looked at him with eyes that were both shy and full of expectation.

Kitagawa Yu was taken aback at first, but then he realized what was happening and couldn't help but smile, opening his arms to hug her.

At the same time, Ayumi happily snuggled into Kitagawa Yu's arms, raised her head, closed her eyes, and her slightly trembling eyelashes were clearly indicating something.

Several minutes passed, until Ayumi was almost suffocating, before Kitagawa Yu finally released her.

Then Ayumi snuggled against him like a clingy kitten for a while before turning her head to look towards the stove.

"Yu, what are you doing? Can I help you?"

"I made tomato and egg noodles, and it's almost ready. I'm just waiting for Chizuka and the others to get up."

"Huh? Is this whole pot full of them?"

"Yes, Shoko and Yuzuru are back today too."

Because of the continuous overcast and rainy weather, Shoko and Yuzuru hadn't come over for several days.

Now that the weather has finally cleared up, even if the two of them don't come by themselves, Anya, who lacks playmates, will definitely call them to come over.

However, this means breakfast now serves nine people.

To be honest, neither Kitagawa Yu nor his two lifetimes combined ever imagined that he would ever have to cook a meal for so many people.

"Wow! Shoko and Yuzuru are coming too! That's great! I haven't seen them for so many days!" Ayumi exclaimed happily.

Although Ayumi is already a second-year high school student, her mental age... well, she just really gets along well with Anya and Shoko.

Even Yuzuru seems more mature than her.

"Whose fault is this? Who's been avoiding me all week?" Kitagawa Yu pretended to be angry and tapped her on the head.

Ayumi immediately covered her head with her hands, looking pitiful and trying to please him.

Then, somehow, the two of them kissed again.

"Oh, right, I'm going to clean the shrine!"

"Okay, go ahead. Chizuka complained about this for a long time while you were gone."

After putting down her schoolbag, Ayumi quickly ran to the changing room to change into her shrine maiden outfit, and then picked up a broom and went to the shrine.
