My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

After finishing everything, Kouta sneaked back to his room only to be caught red-handed by his three roommates.

Kouta took Kei away last night and didn't return home until early this morning, looking exhausted and disheveled. Where did he go last night? What did he do? It's obvious!

A round of teasing was inevitable, with Kubo Takashi relentlessly pressing Kouta about what it felt like during sex...

Of course, they didn't think there was anything wrong with it, because in Japan, there are countless couples who date at 15 or 16 and then get engaged, and every year there are girls who become mothers at the age of 6.

Furthermore, Japan has been experiencing severe problems with low birth rates and an aging population in recent years.

To make matters worse, the desire among adults to live a more carefree and easy life has led to a rampant trend of "not having children."

The government is trying every possible way to increase the birth rate; they're practically begging young men and women to have children!

Therefore, in order to encourage childbirth, the country has long since relaxed the age limit for marriage. Men can get married at 18 and women at 16. If you accidentally have a child, don't worry about raising it. The government will subsidize half of the child's upbringing expenses until the child is 10 years old.

A little while later, Kouta followed the others in the room to the assembly point, and then organized the activities.

Today's school-organized activities were more in-depth than yesterday's. In fact, the activities were more in-depth every day. Although it was called camping, it was more like a tour, a seven-day forest tour to a hot spring hotel.

During this period, the school may organize group activities such as getting close to nature, bonfire parties, and outdoor barbecues.

Of course, there are no strict restrictions during the event. If you don't want to go, you can ask for leave and stay in your hotel room to play on your phone, watch TV, etc., as long as you don't disappear when it's time to gather.

However, Kouta seemed distracted throughout the entire event.

However, after winning the heart of the woman he loved, Kouta began to think about the future.

First of all, one should still study. After all, one's family isn't rich and one doesn't have connections in high places. If one can get a degree from a prestigious university, one's future will undoubtedly be much better in every aspect.

Kouta had considered using his memories from his past life to make money with foresight, but he discovered that even if he obtained some general information about the future 13 years, the specific details of these trends were simply beyond the knowledge of someone from the lower rungs of society who had dropped out of high school in his past life. This was especially true in developed countries like Japan, where class stratification was rigid, and there would be almost no major changes in the next 13 years.

Furthermore, and more importantly, whether you want to start a business or invest in stocks, capital is extremely important. The millions of yen that an average person accumulates over a lifetime of work can be wiped out if the business fails, leaving them not only with nothing but also with heavy debt.

Kōta knew his family's situation; they simply couldn't afford the capital to start his own business.

Do you think having memories of your past life guarantees entrepreneurial success? There's no theorem that says: "I've been reborn, so I'm guaranteed to succeed in starting a business or make money in the stock market."

If I'm all alone, that's fine. I can try to make my way in Tokyo based on my general understanding of Japan's development over the next 13 years.

But now I'm not alone. Should I let Hui live a nomadic life with me, enduring wind and rain?

So, he studied step by step, got into a prestigious university, and then entered a large company after graduation. Although his career was unremarkable, it was stable. And although he couldn't give Hui a rich and noble life, he could still give her a comfortable one.

Thinking of this, Kouta made up his mind to study hard so that he could earn money to support his wife in the future. But... studying?

"Wait?! Does Hui need to support herself? Why do I feel like I'm the one who's being supported? After all, even with all my wisdom from both my lifetimes combined, I've never been the top student in my grade at Misaki High School."

"However... Hui's lazy appearance, sigh, she really has a long way to go in the future!"

······

After Hui went out, she found that her classmates and boyfriend were not there. Although she had her first sexual experience last night, Hui only felt a slight discomfort in her lower body.

This is all thanks to her physical condition, which is three times stronger than that of an average person. If it had been a day earlier, Hui would probably have been bedridden like those weak women in biographies.

Hui took the elevator to the first floor. The several hundred square meters of lobby on the first floor was empty and quiet. After all, it was the off-season for hot springs. If it were winter, this place would definitely be crowded.

"I don't know where they went."

Hui murmured to herself, then wandered around the white marble floor, but didn't find the hundreds of people from Misaki High School.

"Forget it, if we can't find it, we won't look for it. Hmm, let's go to a restaurant and find something to eat."

Kouta didn't know what girls wanted to eat in the morning, so he prepared the exact same breakfast for Kei based on Akiko's breakfast. As a result, Kei was not full at all after eating it.

Upon arriving at the hotel restaurant, there were a few scattered guests dining, but almost all of them were middle-aged men and elderly men who looked to be in their 50s or 60s. They were dressed casually and had an air of being pampered. In particular, at the table further inside, a middle-aged man with a large belly exuded the aura of a superior, giving orders. Next to him was a beautiful career woman dressed in a white shirt, black suit, pencil skirt and black stockings, looking like she was ready to give orders at any time.

It's practically saying: I'm a big shot!

That's for sure. After all, it's late July or early August, not a holiday. Ordinary people don't have time to travel, especially to hot springs, at this time!

Hui ordered a large hamburger steak. The bun was freshly baked and the steak was cut on the spot. The portion was very generous. After waiting for a while, Hui took the hamburger steak and casually found a place to sit down and eat.

The hamburger patty was huge, but Hui ate it in small, elegant bites, perfectly embodying the essence of dining that Misa had taught her.

Although Hui wasn't interested in paying attention to others, she attracted the attention of the men inside the restaurant as soon as she entered.

Today, Hui specially wore the only pure white chiffon dress she brought. Her flawless skin paired with the pure white dress made her look like a fairy who was not of this world.

As soon as Hui entered the restaurant, everyone saw a stunningly beautiful young woman in a chiffon dress. Her hair was as black as lacquer, her skin as white as jade, and her face was as white as an oval. Beneath her slender eyebrows, a pair of bright black eyes shone with intelligence. Her figure was slender yet already showing signs of curves. She was graceful and her every smile and frown revealed the purity and innocence of a young girl, yet also a touch of the alluring charm of a mature woman with a flushed peach, like a fairy from the Jade Pool inviting you to her love!

Moreover, her temperament is captivating, possessing the innocence of a young girl, the tranquility and gentleness of a well-bred lady, and the allure of a mature woman. Most attractive of all is a noble elegance that comes from the bottom of her heart.

Everyone glanced at Hui openly and secretly, but no one tried to strike up a conversation. Hui was clearly a student, and even if they had dirty thoughts, they should at least consider other people's opinions, since this was a civilized society. After all, people's opinions can be a powerful force.

However, there are always exceptions.

Chapter 114 Lobbying

When Hui was halfway through her meal, a middle-aged man dressed in casual clothes came up to her.

"Miss! Excuse me for interrupting."

Ichiro Kojima felt like he'd struck gold. Having worked as a talent scout for decades at Burning Project, one of the most powerful talent agencies in the Japanese entertainment industry, he had discovered many famous artists, such as Hiromi Go, Kyoko Koizumi, Yuki Uchida, Masaya Kato, and Miki Mizuno…

Over the decades, he had seen so many beautiful young women that he couldn't even remember them all. He had long since become immune to beauty; what the public considered beautiful was merely a symbol to him. In his eyes, women had become commodities to be sold, and they were divided into only two types: those with no potential for development and those with potential for development.

But upon seeing Hui today, his long-dormant heart was ignited, and a strange emotion arose within him, even a hint of wickedness, a desire to possess the stunning beauty before him.

Now, observing her up close, he felt that every part of the beautiful woman before him was God's greatest masterpiece! The restlessness in his heart was even more intensely impacting his mind.

Because he could tell that the beauty in front of him hadn't dressed up at all; she wasn't even wearing light makeup, she was completely bare-faced.

She's already this beautiful without makeup, so how beautiful would she be with makeup on?

Ichiro Kojima felt that she was a born idol, born to be worshipped by thousands.

"Hmm?!" Hui looked up at him. After her first night, Hui was no longer as aggressive as before, and had become much gentler and more virtuous... probably!

"Excuse me, I'm a talent scout from the entertainment agency 'Burning Project,' and this is my business card." Suppressing the flutter in his heart, Ichiro Kojima slightly bent over, holding a business card in both hands and handing it to Hui. He wore a polite, professional smile in Japanese gold, his demeanor warm, and his tone neither too hot nor too cold, but filled with humility, which immediately made people feel good about him. He was a very dedicated person.

Even though Hui wasn't interested in actors or idols, she still reached out and took the business card he offered.

Kojima Ichiro saw Kei take the business card, smiled, and continued, "Miss, you've heard of the 'Burning Project,' haven't you?"

"No."

"Um, does Miss have any favorite celebrities?"

"I don't follow celebrities."

"...That's alright. Our Burning Project agency is the most powerful entertainment agency in all of Japan. You can find us online."

Ichiro Kojima continued, "The moment I saw you today, I felt that you have the potential to become an idol. In my decades of experience as a talent scout, with your natural beauty and the formidable resources of our Burning Project agency, it will only take a year! No, less than a year! Our agency guarantees that we can make you a sensation throughout Japan. Your portrait will be plastered all over the streets and alleys of Japan, and you will enjoy countless cheers and applause, becoming the goddess in the hearts of all Japanese people!"

Kojima Ichiro had an expression as if he could see Kei becoming a national idol in the future. With his sincere eyes, Kei almost believed him if she hadn't sensed that he was very calm.

From the moment Ichiro Kojima began describing a bright future, he had been secretly observing Kei's expression, but Kei showed none of the longing or anticipation he felt for her.

"That's not right. Most young girls, unless they're from wealthy families, admire celebrities and idols. Because popular idols not only enjoy the adoration of countless people, but more importantly, they make money incredibly easily. In Japan, a superstar idol earning millions a day is definitely not a fantasy."

Ichiro Kojima felt that Kei's performance was too calm; she showed no longing for the future he described, nor even any doubt about it.

Whether Hui feels aspiration or doubt, it means that Hui has the idea of ​​becoming an idol, and as long as she has the idea, it is equivalent to success for Kojima Ichiro.

I'm not afraid of your doubts, I'm just afraid you won't be interested, just like Hui is now.

As expected, Hui politely replied, "I'm sorry, I have no intention of working in the entertainment industry."

"No, Miss, is there something you can't figure out about your idol? Or is there some difficulty you're facing? You can tell me and I'll take a look. Are you worried about the treatment? You don't need to worry about that at all. I can guarantee that as soon as you join our agency, you'll receive the best resources for training."

Hui firmly stated again, "I'm sorry, I have no feelings for my idol, no misunderstandings, and no difficulties. You should look for someone else."

In Hui's eyes, being an idol?! There's no way she could be an idol. If she were a boy with no other talents, then being an idol wouldn't be a problem. But she's a girl with no powerful background. What's the difference between being an idol and being a prostitute? It's just that one serves a minority, and the other serves the masses.

For example, imagine you join some kind of agency, and a high-ranking person wants you to accompany them for drinks. Should you go or not? If you don't, well, they'll replace you with a junior or newcomer, sideline you, deny you opportunities, and deliberately make things difficult for you. If you want to leave, there's the penalty for breach of contract, and you've wasted your youth. If you do go, once you've done it, there will be countless more times…

In Japan, there are very few talent shows (except for Morning Musume and AKB48). To become famous, one is usually discovered by a talent scout, then joins various agencies, and undergoes a series of training programs (there are special junior and senior high schools for training stars). This makes the outside world see the Japanese entertainment industry as not so dark and shameless, but rather pure and legitimate.

However, if you think that the Japanese entertainment industry is clean, you are sorely mistaken. All crows are black, and in Japan, due to the complexities of capitalist society, the media outlets that expose inside stories are basically "owners." How could they possibly cause trouble for their owners?

Furthermore, in the Japanese entertainment industry, idols are absolutely prohibited from dating, and if they are discovered to be dating, they will have to compensate their agency.

During the time that was delayed, Hui had finished eating her hamburger and got up to leave.

"Miss, are you worried about your studies? Don't worry about that, our firm has experience in this area."

For example, Koda Kumi, a singer from AVEX, is still a high school student, but she hasn't given up on her studies. We can schedule her idol activities according to your class schedule.

However, Hui did not stop. Kojima Ichiro's heart tightened, and he stepped forward to stop Hui, continuing to persuade her:

"Miss, you can tell me what you're worried about, or you can try living as an idol for a year first."

I can make the decision. For this year, the girls don't need to sign a contract or pay any fees. If they don't want to continue, they can simply leave. Consider it an experience.

Ichiro Kojima has shown his sincerity.

Chapter 115 Targeting

It was only because he was a senior member of the firm that he was able to offer such preferential treatment.

Of course, he also had his own considerations. He had carefully observed Hui's attire. Although she was dressed beautifully, it was not because of the clothes, but because of the person herself.

The clothes weren't cheap items costing a thousand yen, but they weren't designer brands either, much less handmade luxury goods. They were just high-quality brands used by the general public in Japan. Therefore, he concluded that Hui's family wasn't wealthy; they were just ordinary members of the Japanese public.

This is also why he extended an olive branch to her. If she were a rich heiress, with a single dress costing tens of millions of yen, then no matter how beautiful she was, Ichiro Kojima wouldn't go up to her and make a fool of himself, wasting his time.

After all, no matter how much Japanese media and society glorify idols, actors, and other celebrities, the fundamental purpose of idols, actors, singers, etc., is because once these professions become famous, it is very easy to make money.

As for the dreams of becoming a singer, an idol, or a star that are often mentioned on television programs...

That's just a show put on by celebrities to beautify their public image and try every means to gain female fans with spending power. Of course, these shows are necessary because of a truth: people only believe what they want to believe.

As long as you establish a positive image in the public's mind that they are willing to believe in, the public will not hesitate to spend money to support you!

Of course, it's not without its drawbacks.

Once you become a celebrity, you basically lose your daily life. Your love life is also subject to public scrutiny. Not only that, but you also have to deal with all sorts of celebrity scandals, slander, defamation, and social obligations.

However, these drawbacks are tolerable compared to the enormous amount of money it can bring. At worst, you can change your citizenship to American and live a carefree, wealthy life abroad!

So, if you're already very rich, why would you want to be a celebrity? Why make yourself miserable?

"Miss, are you worried about unspoken rules? You don't need to worry about that at all."
