He is an idol and a childhood sweetheart.

"Well? Did Mother just say something?"

"It's nothing... you should go back to your room. I will call you during dinner."

"……Yes."

Although he was a little confused, in short... Duye Rinse was very happy that Watanabe Kento could stay here.

As for the reason for happiness...

……

Sure enough...it's still a bit unclear.

16 years old has always been an age full of unknowns and mysteries.

........................

"Huh... It's going well for now."

After arriving in the guest room, Kento Watanabe took off his suit jacket and sat directly on the bed in the guest room.

"Although it took a little time to choose the pattern, I finally made a good decision."

Judging from the kimonos on display at Oya, there seems to be no need to worry about quality.

The results of this business trip seem to have been declared successful in advance.

But...in addition to the main task of ordering kimonos, he now has another very important side task in his mind——

"Should I invite Miss Rinse to be an idol..."

He looked up at the Japanese-style interior layout, and then looked down at the business card in his hand. Kento Watanabe

He suddenly fell into deep thought.

Chapter 43: Even the wrong solution is worth points

Judging from Ms. Du Ye's various behaviors, it seems that she is not the kind of rigid parent who only abides by tradition.

In other words, the situation he envisioned on the train... doesn't seem to happen here.

However, even so, it does not mean that he can hand over his business card to Duye Rinse with peace of mind.

"After all, the family tradition is quite strict..."

Kento Watanabe can see this from the way mother and daughter get along.

Even if Du Ye Rinshi really agreed to his invitation, if she failed to get her mother's consent, she might still not be able to successfully become an idol.

"In other words, do we have to go out of our way to persuade Ms. Du Ye for this..."

Kento Watanabe muttered:

"The difficulty is a little too high..."

Even though Ms. Du Ye didn't show too much difficulty when talking to him, Kento Watanabe still very keenly felt the pressure from the "superior" from the other party.

This oppression stemming from identity, age, experience, etc. was something he could not change no matter what.

All he could do was to try his best to show her his determination and answer all the questions truthfully.

If he fails to give a satisfactory answer, the other party will not be able to hand over his daughter to him with peace of mind...

……

Well, but this is natural.

After all, becoming an idol is not a simple choice like joining a club. It is no exaggeration to say that this is an important decision that will affect the rest of Duye Rinse's life.

Let go of your selfish obsessions and try your best to convince the other party!

Kento Watanabe calmed down, and then began to conceive of possible scenarios when negotiating with the other party——

[What is the size of your firm? How many employees do you have? 】

"...Only three people."

[What is your firm’s performance so far? 】

"Well... let's just say I shot an autumn special issue for a well-known fashion magazine..."

[What are the salary conditions at your firm? 】

"The activities have just started, so we can't offer too high a reward yet..."

[After the idol activities are over, are there any follow-up plans? 】

"..."

[About the activity content...]

……

thump!

Kento Watanabe was soon completely overwhelmed by the Ms. Du Ye he imagined.

Even if the early activities of Higuchi Enka and Daito Yuko were indeed smooth, they still could not change the predicament that the Watanabe Agency still had nothing.

For such a wealthy family with prominent status and wealth, his firm is completely untrustworthy no matter how you think about it...

Gu, can we only hope for a miracle...

Kento Watanabe hugged the pillow in his arms without tears, and then said to himself as if he was giving up on himself:

"No matter what, just do your best and obey fate when the time comes!"

Since reality cannot be changed, then breaking the can and breaking it can be regarded as a different kind of wisdom in life!

(Speaking of which...if Enka were to reach this age, she would probably have a similar temperament.)

Recalling Ms. Du Ye's demeanor when she invited him to stay here, Kento Watanabe couldn't help but think.

(Although there is nothing obvious from the tone and expression, it still makes it difficult for people to have the idea of ​​disobeying the other party...)

By that time, Enxiang should have already started a family and had a successful career.

If it’s Enka, I always feel like I can do well in any job...

Even if her idol activities are over, she will definitely be able to find what she wants to do most and then work hard for it.

I'm a little curious...

What kind of relationship would Enka have with him at that time?

On top of the close relationship between childhood sweethearts and a period of struggle together... the two may become even closer than they are now.

That is--

Boom boom boom!

While Kento Watanabe was still thinking wildly, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

"Please come in!"

Bringing his thoughts that were flying out of the sky back to reality, Kento Watanabe quickly sat up and responded to the person outside the door.

And then he opened the door and came into his field of vision, a flash of navy blue——

"Miss Rinse."

Kento Watanabe looked at the girl who suddenly visited with a surprised look on his face:

"Excuse me...what's the matter?"

"Sorry...to disturb your rest time."

Duye Rinshi, who looked troubled, said softly:

"...I want to have a little chat with you."

........................

When Duye Rinse returned to her room, she wanted to kill time by reading as usual, but sitting at the table she could not calm down no matter what.

"I always feel...a little inexplicably anxious."

Duye Rinshi sighed slightly, then looked at the straw doll on the table, and asked:

"Obviously I didn't feel this way when I was with Mr. Watanabe just now... What on earth is going on?"

"........."

The round straw doll was naturally unable to give any answer, and Duye Rinshi just stared at it blankly, without any thought in his mind.

What are you thinking about...

"Ah... just remembered."

After being in a daze for a while, Duye Rinshi suddenly remembered something.

Then she immediately stood up and walked to the bookcase, and took out a book with a pink cover from the bottom shelf——

"There was a similar situation in this book..."

In order to unravel the confusion in his heart and dispel the anxiety in his heart, Duye Rinse started reading this girl's comic called "Let's Fall in Love"——

........................

"The book says... Once you encounter such troubles that cannot be solved by one person, you must find the source of the troubles and have a good talk."

Duye Rinshi said very seriously:

"So...I came to find you."

"……………………Eh?"

Obviously, Kento Watanabe could understand every word, but when they were strung together, he couldn't understand them.

"Leave aside the slightly suspicious comic...is Ms. Rinse feeling anxious because of me?"

"……kindness."

Duye Rinshi nodded.

"Ever since I talked to you on the train, my mood has become more and more strange..."

"Is it... since you started talking to me?"

Kento Watanabe held his chin and pondered for a moment, then asked:

"It started when I showed you the live video?"

"Yes."

Duye Rinshi gave an affirmative answer.

"Ever since I saw your expression when you introduced the two idol ladies, the maturity and gentleness you showed when getting along with me, and the way you talked on the phone with the two idol ladies in the Nandian Bamboo Forest...my mood It just started getting weirder and weirder.”

“I want to talk to you, but I don’t know where to start. I want to stay by your side, but I don’t know what to do after that. After returning to the room alone, my mind can’t calm down at all… …”

Having said this, Duye Rinse raised his head and looked into Kento Watanabe's eyes with confusion -

"Can you tell me...what's going on with this feeling?"

"Well...if it starts from seeing the live video..."

The expression on your face when you introduce your idol, the maturity you show when you get along with them, and the way you look when you talk to them on the phone?

After listening to Duye Rinse's thoughts, Kento Watanabe thought for a long time, and then said in an unconvincing tone:

"Miss Rinse... do you... also want to become an idol?"

Chapter 44: Want to leave this "miracle"

People will always unconsciously fall into stereotyped thinking... just like Kento Watanabe's current state.

Since he has been thinking about how to make Duye Rinse an idol from the beginning, his thinking mode will naturally continue to move in this direction.

In his opinion, the situations described by Duye Rinze were completely related to his idol work. In addition, the other party had praised Enka and Fuyuko's performance more than once, so he would I came to this conclusion after thinking for a while.

As for Duye Rinshi, who was not familiar with the world and was trying her best to find answers, she never thought about questioning the other party's answer...

"I want to...become an idol?"
