The only two creatures she couldn't refuse were cats and pandas, or the products related to them. At this time, her emotions undoubtedly overwhelmed her reason.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect to meet my sister in this place."

"No, it's okay. I have something else to do later, so let's make an appointment another day."

“I’m so sorry…”

In reality, everything is going well and developing as Yukinoshita Haruno had expected.

Yukinoshita Yukino sat next to her sister, watching with an expressionless face as the strange man was sent away by her with just a few words.

After the other party left, the two sisters were left alone, and Yukinoshita Haruno sighed deeply.

She propped her chin up and stirred the drink in front of her. She tilted her head to look at her sister.

"Xueno, grow up quickly, then mom won't always focus on me and can share some of the pressure for me."

Yukinoshita Yukino had no expression on her face. She just silently touched the ears of the panda doll beside her.

"If you don't want to, just refuse directly. Mom won't force you to do such a thing."

Yukinoshita Haruno shifted her gaze to the outside of the store, watching the passers-by with an extremely bored look.

"Even if I don't force you, I will definitely nag you when I get home. If you can solve the problem yourself, I won't worry about you, and I won't have to spend so much time and energy looking for excellent candidates for you."

She paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

"I originally thought our mom was pretty cool, but my impression of her has gradually changed over the years. No matter how cool she is, she still can't escape the role of mom after all. Yukino-chan, do you think that after we get married and have children, we will also worry about the emotional problems of the next generation like mom did?"

Yukinoshita Yukino was stunned, obviously not expecting her sister to suddenly talk about such a topic.

She thought for a moment, then shook her head.

"I don't know what my sister will do, but I won't interfere too much with other people's freedom."

Yukinoshita Haruno smiled teasingly for a moment after hearing her answer, and seemed extremely interested.

"I didn't refute the fact that I would get married in the future."

"..."

Yukinoshita Yukino remained silent about this and didn't seem to want to talk much.

Yukinoshita Haruno continued to ask,

"Does Yukino have someone she likes?"

Yukinoshita Yukino stood up holding the panda doll.

"Sister, your goal has been achieved anyway, I'm going back now."

Yukinoshita Haruno picked up her bag and followed.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk anymore. I drove here and it's not convenient for you to hold on to this. I'll take you back."

Yukinoshita Yukino thought about it and nodded.

On the way to the parking lot, Yukinoshita Yukino asked with concern,

"If I get a call in the morning and I'm not going to come, what are you going to do, sister?"

"What can I do? If Xiao Xueno doesn't come to save me, I can only be patient and continue to spend some time with that man, listening to him talk about his own conditions, his daily work, what kind of patients he encountered, and other boring topics."

"Is the other person a doctor?"

"Yes, he graduated from Waseda Hospital, and he is currently working as a chief physician at the National Central Hospital."

"The conditions sound good. Although judging people by appearance is not advisable, I can tell from the first sight of him and the conversation between him and my sister that he seems to be an excellent person..."

Yukinoshita Yukino thought back to previous similar situations like today.

"At least it's much better than the impression that man gave last time."

"Oh? If you're interested in him, Yukino, I can give you his contact information."

"Sister, please stop saying such boring things."

"Your reaction makes me feel that you seem to have someone in your heart now."

"..."

Yukinoshita Yukino closed her eyes and shook her head slightly, sighed helplessly, and sat in the back of the car holding the panda doll.

Seeing this, Yukinoshita Haruno smiled and said no more, then drove out of the parking lot.

Twenty minutes later, Yukinoshita Yukino saw the increasingly unfamiliar street scenes outside the window, and suddenly realized that this was not the way home.

"elder sister."

She spoke in a bad tone.

"Where do you want to take me?"

"Ah, I finally figured it out. Shimoyukino, you're surprisingly slow in a place like this."

Yukinoshita Haruno's tone was quite relaxed.

"Nothing, I just suddenly couldn't remember the exact time when we two sisters had a good time together, so I thought that we could take advantage of the weekend when you don't have classes today to catch up with each other and strengthen our relationship."

She gave this reason, and while waiting for the red light at the traffic light intersection, she took out a stack of brochures from the storage box in the middle of the car and handed them to the back.

Yukinoshita Yukino reached out to take it and checked it. There were two tickets for a music festival inside, which was held at Yoyogi's First Gymnasium.

Today is the first day of a two-day event.

Even the tickets were prepared in advance. It’s hard to imagine that my sister decided to do this on a whim. Maybe she had planned it in advance.

Maybe this is why she called me out today?

Taking all these signs together, Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't help but think so.

"I am not interested in this kind of activity. I want to go home."

"You haven't experienced it yet, so why are you so resistant? It would be better to make a comment after you've tried it. Besides, I'm feeling a little unwell right now. Xiao Xueno, can you really bear to leave someone who's not feeling well out there? What if she meets a bad guy?"

"...Sister, you are always like this."

He talks on his own and makes decisions on his own, without considering what others think.

"I would only do this because of Yukino-chan, because I know that no matter what I do, Yukino-chan will forgive me. After all, she is my dearest sister."

Yukinoshita Haruno turned around and met her sister's gaze, showing a playful smile.

"Don't look so reluctant. I remember that when you were little, you were very willing to play behind your sister."

"Sister, you also said that it was when we were little."

"Although our age has changed, our relationship and feelings are still the same, right? So just be happy. When you get to the music festival, you might even run into your favorite stars, like LiSA, the popular anime singer, Snow Man, or the talented singer Utada Hikaru."

Yukinoshita Yukino looked down at the brochure in her hand.

"Sister, the people you just mentioned as examples are not on the attendance list for this music festival."

"Well, even if that's the case, there may be other unexpected gains. It's always right to keep looking forward."

The green light came on, and Yukinoshita Haruno looked straight ahead without being distracted.

Yukinoshita Yukino knew that she would not be able to get away the moment she got on the car, so she sighed resignedly.

What to say keep looking forward to...

The sunlight outside was so dazzling. Even if she had never been to a music festival, she must have seen related videos. It was a carnival for a group of people who loved music. There would definitely be a lot of people at the scene, and it would definitely be quite noisy. However, she just couldn't handle crowded occasions. It would make her feel like she was falling into the deep sea and finding it difficult to breathe.

Anyway, no matter how she thought about it, Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't look forward to the next arrangements.

I can only hope that my sister will end this sudden interest as soon as possible and let her go.

------

After nearly two months of warm-up, the atmosphere at the music festival was quite enthusiastic once it started.

The organizer of the music festival, Ichiro Suzuki, who is about 40 years old, walked between the stages in the venue with his assistant, and the smile on his face became more and more unrestrained and cheerful.

As one of the actual controlling shareholders behind the Suzuki Group, he has an absolutely keen business sense.

The scandal of Johnny's Actors Agency has been exposed again after many years, and this time the storm is getting more and more serious, and there is a tendency that it cannot be suppressed.

He decisively convened a board meeting, put forward a proposal, convinced the majority to agree, and then established the Suzuki Entertainment Agency, and privately poached from this behemoth that was about to collapse.

Not to mention, once he achieved certain results, most of the long-established artists and groups realized that their empire was about to collapse, and they terminated their contracts with Johnny's, drew a line in the sand, and turned to the solid embrace of another financial sponsor.

However, an excellent performing arts agency is far from enough to rely solely on veteran artists and singers, fresh blood is equally important.

Therefore, while Ichiro Suzuki was poaching people in private, he was also busy organizing and holding this music festival.

It looks like just a routine external event, using the celebrity effect to attract audiences and earn ticket and advertising fees from businesses, but there is a deeper purpose behind it.

Yes, he wanted to take this opportunity to check out those performers who have not signed contracts. If he came across outstanding talents, he would send someone to communicate with them on the spot. If they were interested, he would sign them directly.

This is also the reason why there are so many singers and groups performing at this music festival. Only by casting a wide net can you catch more fish.

The audience came for those well-known singers and stars, but in the eyes of Ichiro Suzuki, those unknown wild amateurs were his target.

After a round of inspection, Ichiro Suzuki was quite satisfied. Although he still hadn't seen any candidates that he was particularly satisfied with, there were indeed a few who barely met his standards. He asked his assistant to take note of the amateurs who had made him stop and look at them for a while.

But if possible, he still hopes to meet a few better talents.

After all, singing is too simple and straightforward.

The simplicity here does not mean that singing itself is simple, but that it is easy to get started in appreciating and appreciating it.

Singing does not have a high threshold for appreciation like classical music. Whether a person sings well, his breath and timbre, etc., even a complete layman can easily hear some of the little tricks.

In today's world, you can treat the audience as leeks, but you must never treat them as fools. Only when the singer is absolutely talented will the audience be willing to pay money.

So if there are better talents, of course they should be trained first. Only when there is no other choice can we make do with what we have.

However, from today until now, excluding those singers who have been famous for a long time, I have not seen any contestant that satisfies me.

But the music festival had just started, maybe I was too impatient?

Thinking so, Ichiro Suzuki took the towel handed over by his assistant and wiped the sweat from his forehead. When people reach middle age, they will indeed feel a little weak after sitting for a long time without exercise.

After taking the wolfberry tea handed to him by his assistant, he glanced at the dazzling sunlight in the sky and decided not to rush around and instead went back to rest for a while.

But when he passed by a stage, his steps stopped unconsciously.

"Chu! Sorry I'm cute~?"

"I'm sorry I was born into this world~"

"Chu! Sorry I'm a little clever~???"

"I'm sorry, you care?"

"........."

Ichiro Suzuki heard a familiar song.

His twelve-year-old girl has been humming this song at home frequently in recent days, so he was deeply impressed.

He approached the stage and looked at the four girls on the stage.

The girl singing the lead song has a nice voice, but lacks some breath, but overall it's pretty good.

The assistant beside him quickly took out his phone to check and came close to him to tell him the relevant information of the girls on the stage.

"This is a band that has been very active on the Internet in recent times. The song 'I'm Sorry to Be So Cute' that they are singing now is their first original song."

"Is this song their original creation?"

"Yes. In addition, their other original song 'LOSER' has topped the music charts on YouTube for a week. The video of them singing that song has been viewed more than six million times."

"Do they have an agency now?"

"No, they are all high school students and have not signed contracts with any agency at this stage."

Suzuki Ichiro nodded slightly and said nothing more, but the corners of his mouth were raised with joy.

From his professional perspective, although the band on the stage is still a little immature, they are able to create original works and write lyrics and compose music so well, which is a big plus.

Just when he was wondering why there were no outstanding talents, an outstanding talent unexpectedly met him.

He was too lucky, and it seemed like God was on his side.

Ichiro Suzuki walked to the other side of the stage, intending to watch their performance more carefully.
