I was plotting against Hoshino Ai but was pushed back

Since they praise me, I have to praise them too.

Hoshino Ai thought for a moment and said, "I'm not as bad as you say. I'm still a little nervous, but I still have the responsibility as a leader, so I just barely managed to say those words despite the nervousness. If you were the leader, you might do better than me."

"I can't do it. I can't do it..." Ninomiya Suzune directly said what she was thinking, "I'm sure I'm not as good as loving you."

Arisa and Asuka Hayakawa also nodded, agreeing with Ninomiya Suzune's words.

"I also think you did better than the rest of us." Futami Ami said aloud.

Then Watanabe Akane and Takamine Tsukuei also nodded in agreement.

"What are you talking about?" Saito Hiko walked in and saw seven people gathered together, talking about something, and asked curiously.

Chapter 153 Settlement

[The cultivation of Hoshino Ai and the achievement of the first performance]

[Rewards have been distributed]

[You received 10 million yen]

[You have obtained enchantment (disease cure)*10]

[You obtained Stamina Potion*10]

[You obtained Concentration Potion*10]

[You have obtained Photography Mastery Card*1]

[You have won a chance to win a lottery*10]

As soon as Saito Hiko asked the seven people, a reminder about obtaining system rewards came.

Enchanted items? Focus potions?

Saito Hiko discovered that he had obtained new props this time, but the amulet was gone.

Surprisingly, there is no amulet as reward this time.

Is it really precious?

Enchanted items? Focus potions?

Two new items and ten draws.

Saitohiko immediately checked the information of the new item.

Enchanting (Curing Disease): You can enchant designated items, and the disease of the object holding it will improve and heal quickly. An enchantment can only be used once, and serious diseases are given priority.

Concentration Potion: Drinking it will put you in a focused state.

After checking the props, Saito Hiko did not rush to draw the lottery.

Because based on his previous experience in lottery draws, he learned metaphysics.

Whenever the system gives out free draws, or when you draw cards right after earning some draws, your luck will usually not be very good.

Therefore, he thought it would be better to wait for a while before smoking.

The president and Kyoko also followed Saito Hiko back to the preparation room. The president saw that he was staring blankly ahead after asking questions, and felt that it was not good for Saito Hiko to stare at B Komachi and the seven people like that, so he reached out and shook his shoulder, trying to wake him up.

Afterwards, the president and Kyoko congratulated Hoshino Ai and the other seven people, saying, "Congratulations on your successful performance."

"Thank you~" the seven girls responded in unison.

"Although the performance is over, it's not over yet." The president looked at the seven girls and said, "It's up to you guys from now on. The sales of peripherals are not optimistic."

He didn't finish his words, but before that, he had already talked about the idol business.

As a new idol, he must personally go on stage to sell singles and peripherals, as well as conduct business.

but...

The president glanced at Hoshino Ai who was in the middle of the seven people, then looked at Saito Hiko and said, "If you are not in good condition, forget it. There are posters outside to replace you. It's okay even if you don't go."

The president felt that as Saito Hiko's uncle, since his nephew had someone he liked and it happened to be a festival right now.

This scene was also suitable for them to cultivate feelings, so with the idea of ​​creating conditions for them, he said: "Of course you can also go to the festival. It's still early now, and there's still a long time before the last train."

Kyoko stood beside the president and frowned when she heard what he said. She added: "I think you should go to the festival instead of staying to work overtime. As for the sales of peripherals, don't worry. The president, I and other employees can do it. You can just go and have fun without worry."

"There are a lot of people at the festival now, so it's best not to bring more than three people with you, otherwise the festival experience will be reduced." Kyoko added.

three people?

The president felt that there was something wrong with what Kyoko said. Although there were a lot of people at the Spring Festival, it was not too crowded, so it would be fine for them all to go together.

But he didn't say it.

Because he just thought that if they were divided into teams of three, they could just disperse a bit.

So he directly grouped the three people who had asked him to change their stage names and the three who did not.

"Watanabe, Takamine, Ninomiya, you guys form a group of three."

"Arisa, Hayakawa, and Futami, you guys form a group of three."

"As for Ai, she will be in the same group with him. Is that okay?"

Arisa was a little dissatisfied when she heard the president's grouping. She wanted to be in the same group with Ai. It was fine if Ai didn't want to be in the same group with her, but how could he be in the same group with that guy Saito Hiko?

So she raised her hands in protest: "I... uh... uh..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, her arms were held down by Takamine Tsukuyomi, and Futami Ami covered Arisa's mouth to stop her protest.

Arisa didn't understand why Takamine Tsukiei and Futami Ami were stopping her.

He struggled to resist, but was suppressed by the two.

While controlling Arisa, Gao Feng said, "Arisa, don't cause trouble for the president."

She knew that something was going on between Saito Hiko and Hoshino Ai, and they were trying to cover it up, obviously not wanting everyone to know. Besides, they had already signed contracts to become idols, so they couldn't have any romance rumors.

Otherwise, the idol career will be over.

There are so many people in the preparation room now, it would be bad if Arisa said something to sell.

When Arisa heard what Gaofeng Yue said, her eyes widened, and she looked at Shuanghai Ami who was covering her mouth, as if asking her with her eyes, do you think so too?

"The president has arranged the groups, so don't disobey his arrangements." Futami Ami was speechless about Arisa's inability to read the atmosphere.

It would be fine if you did it in the company before, but now there are so many outsiders in the preparation room, and you still don’t obey the president’s arrangements. Are you looking for death?

If she hadn't been working together for a month and was worried that she would meet worse teammates after replacing them with new people, she wouldn't have wanted to do it.

Seeing what Futami Ami said, Arisa gave up resisting and stopped struggling.

Seeing that Arisa no longer resisted, Takamine Tsukuyomi and Futami Ami felt that Arisa understood their intentions, so they tried to let go.

After Arisa was freed, she didn't say anything else.

Ninomiya Suzune originally wanted to ask the president a question, but when she saw Arisa was caught as soon as she raised her hand, she gave up the idea of ​​asking.

Seeing that no one raised any objections, the president nodded and said, "Very good. Since you have no objections, please go out in order. The first group, Watanabe, Takamine, and Ninomiya, you go out first."

Ninomiya Suzune wanted to ask the president, why are they going out like this in their stage costumes?

But because of the previous experience of Arisa being captured, she gave up the idea of ​​asking.

Watanabe Akane and Takamine Tsukuei looked at the president, then at the clothes they were wearing.

Maybe there is a deeper meaning behind the president letting them walk around the Spring Festival in their stage costumes.

Maybe they want them to go out like this as an alternative form of advertising?

Watanabe Akane and Takamine Tsukuei looked at each other, silently took Ninomiya Suzune's hand and walked out.

Seeing that the president's arrangement was too careless, Kyoko said, "If someone asks you to take a photo with them, or wants to do something else, you can refuse them without worrying about it. If someone harasses you, just shout."

"Got it." When Watanabe Akane and Takamine Tsukuei heard Kyoko say this, they became even more certain that the president wanted them to be used as living signs for advertising. They responded and pulled Ninomiya Suzune away without hesitation.

Futami Ami also had the same idea as Watanabe Akane and Takamine Tsukuei.

So before the president even opened his mouth, she held Arisa with her right hand and Asuka Hayakawa with her left hand, waiting for the president to call them to leave.

After waiting for a minute, the president finally asked Fuumi, Ami and the other two to leave.

After receiving the order, Futami Ami pulled the person in her hand out of the preparation room.

"It's too obvious for you to do this."

Chapter 154 Partiality

After the six people including Saito Hiko left, they complained to the president: "Isn't it too obvious that you guys are assigning teams like this? You don't even try to hide it..."

"Then why didn't you raise any objections just now?" the president replied indifferently.

"I can't let you lose your dignity in front of other people." Saito Hiko looked away without meeting the president's gaze.

"Okay, we know you, so hurry up and change your clothes to go to the festival." Kyoko took out a set of pink clothes from the prop box she brought and handed it to Hoshino Ai, "Put them on, it's too conspicuous to go to the festival in your stage costume."

Hoshino Ai looked at Kyoko in confusion. She had never bought this dress before. "Did you get the wrong one?"

"No, I bought this for you." Kyoko heard Hoshino Ai's question and knew her confusion, so she replied, "Don't worry about the size. I bought it according to the size of your singing costume. It will definitely fit."

What's the size of the stage costume?

I didn't tell her, how would she know...I gave it to her...but it was less than two days...

"Why don't they change clothes, but I need to?" Hoshino Ai looked at the president and Kyoko and asked.

"You are different. You are my adopted daughter in law. How can you be the same as them?" The president said what he had already prepared.

Hoshino Ai was stunned for a moment when she heard the president's words, then she forced a smile and said, "So that's how it is... But didn't we agree that it's just..."

As she spoke, her voice gradually became lower and lower, and by the time she said the second half of the sentence it was almost inaudible.

"But what?" Kyoko felt that something was wrong with Hoshino Ai. She didn't look happy, but rather worried. "Don't worry about the group room. Just go home after your shopping. You don't have to come back here. That way they won't be able to see you."

Saito Hiko stood by and listened to the three people talking. He didn't say anything until he saw the right opportunity, until he saw Hoshino Ai's forced smile.

He said to her, "Don't think too much. The president and the others must have planned this. Go change your clothes quickly. Otherwise, if you dawdle any longer, Watanabe and the others will be back. When they see what's going on here, they will only get more jealous."

"Yeah, if the festival wasn't in Kanagawa, I would have bought you a yukata. What a pity." Kyoko interrupted at this time and said, "Ai is so beautiful, she will look great in a yukata... But this time I can only make do with casual clothes..."
