He is an idol and a childhood sweetheart.

Duye Rinshi repeated this answer and fell into a brief thought.

She didn't know much about idols. It would be better to say that she had never taken the initiative to understand the idol industry until she met Kento Watanabe today.

Higuchi Enka and Daito Yuko can be said to be the only idols she knows.

If you become an idol, do you want to be like those two idol ladies...

……

…………

Eh?Wait……

"If I become an idol...can I join Mr. Watanabe's office?"

Thinking of this, Duye Rinshi couldn't help but ask quickly.

After hearing this, Kento Watanabe nodded and said:

"If it were me who signed the contract, that would naturally be the case."

Seeing Duye Rinse's "quite interested" look, Watanabe Kento not only shouted "there is something to play" in his heart.

"Let me explain briefly. If you want to become an idol, you must first find an idol agency to sign a contract. The agency will then assign you a corresponding producer, because the current Watanabe Agency only has one producer: me. So if you sign a contract with our agency, you will naturally become my idol."

"Becoming Mr. Watanabe's... idol..."

Duye Rinshi put his hand on his chest and blinked slightly dullly:

"That is, like those two idol ladies...to become a mutually trusting existence with you..."

"Well, at least in my opinion, this is the relationship between a producer and an idol."

Kento Watanabe continued to explain without knowing why:

"Of course, if Ms. Rinse really wants to become an idol, there are many agencies for you to choose from, so your producer may not necessarily be w——"

"The only producer I know is Mr. Watanabe."

Before Kento Watanabe could finish speaking, Duye Rinshi interrupted forcibly:

"If it weren't for Mr. Watanabe... no way."

"Oh, oh oh..."

After hearing Du Ye Rinshi's tough reply,

Answer, Kento Watanabe couldn't help but make a sound of surprise.

To be trusted to this extent...

Could it be because of the care I received at the station?

She herself seemed to have said that she had seen the tenderness she displayed when getting along with her.

The habit of taking care of others that I have developed since childhood is indeed very useful!

While feeling lucky for his way of life, Kento Watanabe did not forget the most important thing——

"Well, let's re-establish the situation now."

"kindness."

"Miss Rinse... you want to become an idol, right?"

"……kindness."

Duye Rinshi nodded gently.

"I want to be Mr. Watanabe's idol."

"!I see."

After receiving the affirmative answer, Kento Watanabe's heart suddenly cheered up.

Although he didn't know exactly what happened, Kento Watanabe was very surprised to be trusted so much by Duye Rinse.

He had really hoped that Duye Rinshi could join the firm, but he didn't expect that the other party had the same idea as him!

For ordinary girls, as long as they reach this step, it basically means 90.00% success.

But... the Duye Rinse in front of her was no ordinary girl.

In order for her to successfully join the agency and become an idol, there is another obstacle that must be overcome——

"I received your thoughts."

Kento Watanabe looked back at Duye Rinse's eyes and assured her seriously:

"I will definitely try to convince Ms. Du Ye!"

"……kindness."

Duye Linshi smiled and nodded after hearing this.

"I will definitely... tell my mother my thoughts properly."

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

When I heard Mr. Watanabe say that I wanted to become an idol, I was a little shocked.

But if you think about it carefully, what he said seems to make sense.

I really only noticed Mr. Watanabe after seeing the videos on his computer, and our conversations after that basically revolved around idols...

Although I don’t know exactly what it feels like to be an idol, judging from the performance of the two idol ladies on stage... they seem to be very happy.

Because I have learned art under the guidance of my mother since I was a child, I know very well how rare it is for newcomers to be completely focused on performance.In addition to the excellence of the two idol ladies, Mr. Watanabe, who can cultivate them to this level, must also be a very outstanding person.

And what I saw and heard after that constantly confirmed my opinion.

I have never seen his thoughtfulness, maturity, and kindness unlike my father's in anyone else.

The pride, trust, and love he shows for being an idol will make people yearn for him involuntarily.

Even his figure standing under the mist and sunlight was so dazzling that people couldn't help but want to keep looking at it.

This fresh and warm beauty that I have never encountered before... makes it difficult for me to take my mind away from him.

But the more I looked at him, the more I understood that the relationship between us was just a passerby who met by chance on the train.

Even if we have a little social relationship because of the Wufu store, if the transaction is completed, there will be no relationship between us.

The longing-for beauty that I noticed... would also disappear.

I do not like this.

The nandina bamboo forest became more colorful than in previous years because of his arrival.

The golden sweet-scented osmanthus also bloomed just right because of his visit.

This miraculous encounter... I don't want it to end here.

So, how do you continue to maintain contact with him?

……

…………

Thinking about it, it seems that the only possibility is "becoming his idol", right?

As long as I can stand on the stage like those two idol ladies.

Then... I can continue to stay by his side as a matter of course, and keep this hard-won "miracle".

……

Ah, it sure is.

As Mr. Watanabe said... I do want to become an idol.

To put it more specifically... I want to be Mr. Watanabe’s idol!

Duye Rinshi came to his own conclusion.

Chapter 45: Interview results

Now that each other's feelings have been confirmed (?), the next thing Watanabe Kento has to do is to take action!

And when Kento Watanabe heard from Rinse Duye that he would be invited to have dinner together tonight, he immediately realized that the time for a showdown was coming.

Although the winning rate simulated in his mind was basically zero, he had no room to retreat now that the arrow was on the string!

Okay, let’s get going, Kento Watanabe!

Kento Watanabe patted his cheek, summoned up one hundred percent of his energy, and followed the servant to the restaurant.

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

In addition to his parents, Duye Rinshi also has a married sister.

And because Du Ye Rinshi's father was busy with other work, and his sister was already married, there were only Du Ye Rinshi and her mother in Du Ye's family tonight.

After learning about this, Kento Watanabe breathed a small sigh of relief.

Before that, he was only thinking about how to deal with Du Ye Rinshi's mother, but if Du Ye Rinshi's father was also present, he would have to face one more "opponent".

Except for the Higuchi family and the Asakura family, it is estimated that no father of the girl would have a good look at this "suspicious" guy.

So, now that the current situation has been determined, the next step is the formal confrontation.

Slightly tightening his tie, Watanabe Kento took a deep breath without leaving a trace, then nodded slightly to the servant who had stopped in front of him, and walked towards the open door ahead——

"Mother... I hope to join the Watanabe Agency and become an idol."

As a result, as soon as he stepped into the restaurant, Kento Watanabe saw Duye Rinse speaking his thoughts to his mother with a serious face.

"………………Eh?"

This unexpected scene almost staggered Kento Watanabe, who was already "prepared for battle".

At the same time, after hearing her daughter's thoughts, Ms. Du Ye did not rush to respond, but put on a thoughtful expression, and then asked:

"Did you come to a conclusion after careful consideration?"

"Yes."

Duye Rinshi nodded and continued in an extremely calm tone:

"I was convinced that I wanted to be an icon."

"...That's it."

To Watanabe Kento's expectation, Ms. Du Ye did not show any objection or rejection to her daughter's persistence. Instead, she nodded as if she had expected this scene, and then moved her gaze to the woman standing blankly at the door. Kento Watanabe——

"Here you are, Mr. Watanabe."

"Ah... yes."

Kento Watanabe, who was suddenly called out, could only nodded awkwardly.

"Well, regarding what Miss Rinse just said, actually-"

Although Duye Rinse did admit that she wanted to become an idol, the reason why she came up with this idea was ultimately because of his influence.

As a responsible producer and a responsible adult, he hopes to take the initiative to take over the important task of continuing negotiations and communicate with Ms. Du Ye in person.

however--

"Wait a minute, Mr. Watanabe. If you have anything else, let's wait until dinner is over."

Ms. Duye interrupted Kento Watanabe and motioned for Rinse Duye to take a seat as well.

"You should pay more attention when eating, and don't let trivial matters affect your appetite... What do you think, Mr. Watanabe?"

"...Well, that's exactly what I said."

Kento Watanabe opened his mouth, but finally nodded.

Then, under the leadership of his servant, he reached the position next to Du Ye Rinshi...

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

Just like the style of their house, the dinners at Duye's house are also very traditional and exquisite Japanese food.
