My daily life is getting weird because I am caught between being in a band and being an idol.

However, he completely forgot that he had recently lent his house to Nina for temporary accommodation.

At the time, Nina asked Asahi for help because the air conditioner was broken. Asahi was just thinking about enjoying a hot spring hotel and had been having so much fun lately that he had completely forgotten about it.

The door had barely opened before a sharp, questioning voice rang out in my ears.

"Mr. Hiraishi! What are you doing?! Who is she?!"

Renna, standing inside the doorway, was wearing loose loungewear and holding a cup of hot tea. She was completely stunned by what she saw at the door. Her gaze shifted between the subtle expression on Chaoyang's face as he nestled close to her, and her emotions surged instantly.

. .

Time has returned to the present.

"Snapped!"

"Tea, please!"

Ren Cai slammed a cup of hot tea down, almost splashing it onto her hand.

Fortunately, Renna hadn't completely lost her mind; even with a sour face, she still let Lu Tongyang in.

Although this is Chaoyang's home.

Unfortunately, due to a mishap, Nagisa, who had accidentally poked him, reverted to her usual icy, aloof demeanor.

In short, Chaoyang Pillow's initial business experience plan was a complete failure.

Now I can only try my best to gloss over it and maintain goodwill.

But at this moment, Tero-sai looked at Nina with a hostile expression.

"...What's your relationship with the producer?"

The tone was low and cold, carrying a hint of hostility, and the calm tone conveyed a subtle sense of oppression.

"That's the question I should be asking... Are idols these days willing to do anything to climb the ladder?!"

Nina was already extremely unhappy with her idol because her estranged friend Hina had become the new lead singer of Diamond Dust. Coupled with the arrogant look she had just witnessed, he was now acting extremely cold towards Nina.

Let Rencai think that the bribery of Zhan Nuo was just a pretense.

Simply put, she believes that Chaoyang was seduced by this capricious idol.

Although Chaoyang understood the situation by reading the inner voice, it was clear that this time it was his own fault. Although it was indeed a case of "pillow talk," it was Chaoyang who took the initiative to do it.

"Oh, Nina... you misunderstood, this time it was me... who brought it up first."

"The boy just suggested it, and she happily followed him to his house in Bit..."

Nina originally wanted to curse, but ultimately held back and instead raised both pinkies towards Asahi and Tateru.

He didn't realize that this meant he was giving her the middle finger.

"Hmph... I don't have time to waste on a kid like you. Producer, I'm leaving..."

Hey hey hey hey hey? Why did the producer bring me back? What does he want to do to me? Does he really want to do *that* with me?! Ugh hey hey hey... How am I supposed to face him now...? And what's this kid's relationship with the producer? Why is he living in his house?! (Fu Jin Jun Jun)

Although he was in a state of confusion and didn't know how to react, he could only pretend to run away.

Chaoyang was already considering his next choice.

These two are relatively easy to fool. If I just want to get through today, a few lies should be enough... However... things will get complicated later. I should just be honest with them; after all, I need to gain their trust.

"Uh, anyway... everyone, please calm down... I apologize for the 'hand-held' gesture! I apologize for the '6 Yuan Huang Se' incident. I admit I had some impure thoughts when I brought you back. The atmosphere at the time gave me some misconceptions! Anyway, I'm sorry!"

Chaoyang clasped his hands together, bowed his head, and sincerely apologized to Yuecun Handball.

After the chaotic hand gestures and the winding steps, the opponent reached the ground.

Her gaze drifted inadvertently to the rising sun, then she quickly lowered her head, a blush rising on her face. Her fingers nervously fiddled with a strand of hair hanging over her shoulder, and she spoke haltingly.

"Well, he's a guy after all... It's not surprising that he has those kinds of thoughts... Um..."

Towards the end, his voice became so soft it was almost inaudible.

Her cheeks grew increasingly rosy, like ripe apples.

Rencai glanced at her, a disdainful sneer on her face, and said in a cold tone.

"Do you need me to go out and run errands for you two? It seems like you really need them anyway."

Upon hearing those words, the blush on her face vanished instantly, and her eyes sharpened. She raised her head, reverting to her cold and aloof demeanor, the switch happening seamlessly.

"Hmph, is your thought process even right? I was just saying it's normal for men to have these kinds of thoughts. Besides, I'm a talented idol, so it's perfectly normal for them to have fantasies about me. But you..."

She paused, a slight smile playing on her lips, her tone tinged with sarcasm, "With such a slender figure, it's certainly hard to imagine such thoughts, isn't it?"

The air solidified instantly.

Asahi didn't expect Tekken Omoi to go all out, but her target was clearly wrong, because Nina would really attack if she got desperate!

"Ouch!"

Nina suddenly stood up, placed one foot on the table, and used the momentum to pounce on Tetsuya.

Fortunately, Asahi reacted quickly and grabbed Rencai's waist, stopping her mid-air.

"Let me go! Mr. Hiraishi!!! This woman is asking for it! I'm going to fight her to the death!!!"

"Okay, okay, okay! I'll arrange an octagon cage for you when I have the chance. Stop fooling around now!"

Hmm? Speaking of which, is the idol octagon a viable option...? Ah, no, now's not the time to consider new avenues!

. .

"...Anyway, the problem lies entirely with me, so feel free to blame me. Nina is my neighbor and... kind of like my adopted sister, so please be a little more polite to her..."

Chaoyang then whispered into her hand, "She came to Tokyo after being bullied in Kumamoto. She has some bipolar tendencies, so don't upset her." After saying that, she immediately looked up and continued to Nina, "Nina... her situation is similar to yours... she broke up with her friends in middle school for some reason, and now she's basically alone, so she has an aggressive tendency towards people she doesn't know well. Don't take her too seriously."

Hearing this, Nina, with her strong empathy, softened her sharp gaze as she looked at Tetsuru.

So she's the same way... No wonder... That explains why Mr. Hiraishi took such good care of him.

Both of them were kind-hearted people, and after hearing about each other's experiences, most of their initial unpleasantness dissipated.

"By the way, Nina, is your room's air conditioner fixed yet...?"

"Ah... well, that... not yet..."

Actually, it's already fixed... However...

Nina wasn't quite ready to leave yet... She didn't know why, but living in the sunny room gave her a vague sense of excitement.

She could imagine waking up one morning to find the sun opening the door, yawning, and saying "Good morning." She could also imagine him coming home late from work to find her nestled in the kotatsu (heated table), casually saying, "Welcome home."

"Cough cough cough cough!"

Chaoyang's cough interrupted her reverie.

"Producer, why are you suddenly blushing?"

"Ah... the room is a bit hot. Is the air conditioner in my room broken?"

Chaoyang awkwardly made up an excuse and continued speaking.

"Anyway, let's leave it at that for today. It was my fault. Since Nina, your air conditioner isn't fixed yet, you can continue staying here. I'm quite busy with things right now, so I won't be coming back to stay for about a month. Okay, it's getting late, I'll go now, I still need to take you to the Lu Kui School dormitory."

Renna opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but then stopped herself from speaking.

He hesitated for a moment before speaking softly.

"......that......"

Before she finished speaking, Chaoyang bent down slightly and gently reached out to touch her head.

This action stunned Nina instantly, and all the words she had prepared stuck in her throat.

"I'm sorry, I always do things that make you angry."

Chaoyang's voice was deep and gentle, tinged with a hint of apology, but mostly warm and comforting. He gently ruffled her soft hair, then straightened up and continued speaking.

"I was a little excited and carried away before, but I've returned to normal now. I really just plan to send her back. You don't need to worry."

Renna raised her head and stared blankly at the rising sun. The familiar sense of reliability made her heart tremble, and she was speechless for a moment.

"besides,"

Chaoyang smiled slightly and added, "If the band encounters any problems, contact me, and I'll be there to help... as always."

A faint warmth welled up in Rencai's heart.

After Chaoyang finished speaking, he nodded to her, turned around, and led the others away.

. .

After emerging, Chaoyang was panting heavily.

"Phew, phew, phew, I finally managed to fool them!"

"Fooling them?... Producers... at the very least..."

Handball started complaining in an annoyed tone.

"There's no other way! Otherwise, Rencai won't give up so easily."

"...Producer, do you really have those kinds of feelings for me?... This is a bit disgusting coming on all of a sudden. Please don't have similar thoughts in the future."

"Ah... It would be a lie to say there's nothing wrong... After all, you really are very cute. But thanks to Nina, you've returned to normal. If you're worried, we won't be alone together anymore. I'll find someone else to be with us, like Kotone, D-ki, or her sister."

"...No need... That would just make me shy... Just stay like this."

I don't want to share the producer with anyone else!

"Hmm? Is that okay? Alright, it's getting late, let's take a taxi home."

"Ah."

And so, the two returned to school safely, and Chaoyang's application for boarding school was approved, allowing him to stay in the boys' dormitory.

I managed to get through the day at school safely. Although Chaoyang's XX plan didn't succeed, thankfully I didn't suffer any punishment.

. .

"So, here's our special on the desserts we most want to eat this spring! Now, we're finally going to reveal the number one image that everyone's been waiting for!"

Aya Maruyama delivered her lines with great practice in front of the camera.

That day, Pastel* received a job invitation from a TV food program and traveled to Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture to introduce local cuisine.

As the producer and idol manager, Chaoyang was naturally present to lead the team and discuss matters with the TV station at any time.

"The second-place crepe and the third-place daifuku were also very delicious!"

Eve Wakamiya added excitedly.

The newly joined Eve has been a model for many years, which has made her very natural and confident in front of the camera. Her outstanding mixed-race appearance has also garnered her many fans.

Chapter 153 Even if the Heavenly King himself is here, we Japanese won't give him any face!

"Wow~~ As expected of popular idols. Mr. Hiraishi, you are so capable of managing these idols! They are so natural in front of the camera, speak so fluently, and are very professional."

The program director stood beside him, smiling broadly as he looked at the idols on camera, his tone full of praise.

"Not at all, we're still learning and there are many areas that need improvement. I'm relieved to have your approval."

"You're too modest! Well, my daughter is a huge fan of Ms. Qian Sheng, and she's been asking for her autograph for ages... Would it be convenient for her?"

Upon hearing this, Chaoyang laughed heartily and waved his hand.

"You're too kind. This is no problem at all. After the show is finished filming, I'll have her sign 10 copies, which you can take back as a gift for your daughter."

"Oh, thank you so much!"

Just as Chaoyang was continuing to flatter each other.

the other side.

"...Hehe, it's such a pity that we can only eat it during a limited time...If you want to eat it, you should hurry up and come over~ It's a limited-time and limited-quantity sale."

Qian Sheng directly promoted the products in front of the camera.

Seeing that the time was right, the program assistant behind the camera raised a sign, indicating that the next segment was about to begin.

"Oh my? Is that a sweet fragrance wafting over? Could it be!?"

Maya immediately stood on tiptoe, sniffed the air, and joined in the interaction with a look of surprise.

When it was Maruyama Aya's turn to say she wanted to go to the dessert shop where the three of them had given money to the production team...
