He is an idol and a childhood sweetheart.

"If you hadn't used the 'provoking method' at that time, I might not have wanted to quit so quickly!"

"After all, I don't want a person without consciousness and ability to stay here."

"It turns out that the culprit of the elite route is entirely because of you!"

"star

Tan…”

Listening to the discussion between the two seniors, Duye Rinshi couldn't help but asked curiously:

"You mean the kind of person who talks to cute girls on the street?"

"Well... although this is indeed the case, I still feel that what you said is suspicious..."

Kento Watanabe scratched his head in embarrassment.

"That period was really terrible. From morning to afternoon every day, no one would accept my business card. Even if they accepted it, there would be no reply at all after that..."

"Hey...why?"

After hearing this, Du Ye Linshi frowned and said in an incomprehensible tone:

"If the producer talks to me... I will never refuse."

"Ahaha... Those are quite heart-warming words. Thank you for your comfort, Rinshi."

"Rinshi is serious..."

"Ahem, okay, okay, it's all in the past. There's no point in worrying about it anymore."

Daito Yuko quickly interrupted the increasingly heavy topic.

"You're going to send Du Ye to Livehouse to see the performance venue later, right? Have you packed anything you want to bring?"

"Because I'm just going to see the venue, so I don't have anything to bring..."

After hearing this, Kento Watanabe scratched his head and immediately closed the official page.

"Speaking of which, I don't know if Rinshi can adapt to the noisy and noisy atmosphere of Livehouse... That, although it is not a dangerous place, but you must be mentally prepared, Rinshi."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Producer."

Duye Linshi smiled and replied:

"As long as I'm with you, it doesn't matter where I am."

"………………"*2

After hearing this, Duye Rinshi and Daidong Yuko looked at each other helplessly again.

Although the two of them have generally become accustomed to Duye Rinshi's way of speaking, they are still "shocked" by the heaviness and affection in it every time they actually hear it.

Higuchi Enka: "Didn't you lend Du Ye so many comics? Why do you feel that her way of speaking has not changed at all?" (whispering)

Daidong Yuko: "How could I know! The books I lent her were obviously new issues! And the themes are also relatively modern!" (whispering)

Higuchi Enka: "What are the themes?" (quietly)

Daidong Yuko: "Senior Department and Teacher-Student Department... Hey, don't look at me like that. She took the initiative to bring up these topics, and there's nothing I can do about it!" (whispering)

"…………never mind."

Regarding Duye Rinse's clear and obvious intentions, Higuchi Enka could only sigh helplessly.

Although the three girls present all had a favorable impression of Kento Watanabe, for her who had already kissed him forcefully, she was perhaps the least qualified to judge them.

But...this is really strange.

The three girls present were obviously love rivals of each other, but... they got along surprisingly well.

If Duye Rinse didn't know how to be jealous because she was simply ignorant of worldly affairs, then the calmness and freedom shown by Daidong Yuko was what surprised her the most.

For now, this balanced relationship will probably continue.

But when Asakura returns here, this balanced relationship will probably be ruthlessly broken, right?

Looking at the guy who was still reading entertainment news leisurely in front of the computer, Higuchi Enka couldn't help but shook his head.

"Fortunately, there is still more than a year left..."

I hope that during this time, they can continue to get along smoothly and balancedly.

Higuchi Enka prayed like this from the bottom of her heart.

Chapter 6: Gossip during site survey

That night, in order to familiarize Rinse Doye with her first live venue, Kento Watanabe took her to CC Livehouse alone.

Although Rinyo Duye, who was born in a traditional Japanese family, had never been to such a feasting nighttime entertainment venue, she did not feel nervous or timid because of Kento Watanabe's company. Everything is very fresh.

"Did you see that stage? That's where Enka and Toyuko performed for the first time...and then, it will also be your first live venue."

Ken Watanabe, who was sitting on the second floor, introduced this place to Duye Rinse.

Since there was no scheduled band today, the stage became a dance floor, and the background music was changed to modern dance music with strong rhythm.

But today's Kento Watanabe had no intention of actually taking Rinse Duye to the stage. According to his expectations, today's task was just to familiarize her with the venue, and introduce the lighting and sound equipment to her, and then he could Take her back to the dormitory.

"By the way...Does Rinshi think it's noisy here?"

After introducing a circle of equipment, Kento Watanabe asked Rinse Duye:

"After all, the environment you have lived in since childhood has been so quiet. It must be quite difficult for you to adapt here, right?"

"...Although it was a little noisy at first, it's much better now."

Duye Linshi shook his head.

When she first sat down, she did feel a little uncomfortable because of the deafening music and the bass that was strong enough to cause vibrations.

It was uncomfortable, but after taking a few sips of the drink and sitting down side by side with Kento Watanabe, the discomfort gradually subsided a lot.

"Don't worry, Mr. Producer, I will probably experience more noisy workplaces than this in the future, right? If I can't even accept this level...then I'm not worthy of being your idol."

"This statement is too much. It won't be wrong."

During this period of getting along, Watanabe Kento gradually became accustomed to Duye Rinse's heavy and exaggerated speaking style.

"Although I am happy that you can work hard for your job, there is no need to make it too difficult for yourself... It is also my responsibility to choose jobs and workplaces for idols that are more suitable for them, so if you really encounter a job that you cannot accept , be sure to tell me carefully and I will make adjustments for you."

"…………I see."

Du Ye Linshi suddenly smiled after hearing this.

"The producer...is really considerate."

“That’s the most basic responsibility of a producer.”

"It's not just because of work..."

Duye Rinse shook her head, and then moved the tropical mixed juice that Watanabe Ken ordered for her to herself.

Since that conversation with Higuchi Enka alone, she would often go to the two seniors to ask for various information about Ken Watanabe.

Among them, there are naturally topics about Kento Watanabe’s past.

"When I was talking about the early days of the agency, I remembered what I heard from Higuchi-senpai... The producer seemed to be very popular when he was a student, but every time he would be confused because of his I refused because of my idol's love, or because I had more important things to do."

"Of course. After all, it's a choice that requires the other party to bet a part of his life. If I don't tell the truth, or agree hastily, wouldn't it be a fraud?"

Kento Watanabe said:

"Just like inviting others to be your idol, of course you have to tell them your truest situation, otherwise it would be too irresponsible."

"But even I know that in the idol industry... there is actually no shortage of such 'scams'. It's just that the producers have not taken that path."

Duye Linshi said:

"Whether it's about girls or the idol career... you may be as 'heavy' as me to some extent."

"……maybe."

Kento Watanabe did not object to this statement.

Just like at the moment when he was about to give up, he did seriously doubt whether his persistence was really necessary.

"But think about it carefully, whether as a producer or a simple idol otaku, I don't want to have contact with my idol only in the few years she has been an idol. In order to be able to ask your idols after they graduate. It doesn’t matter if I am proud to be a producer, even if it is a bit heavy.”

And this is probably why he can't accept Enka and Tohru's confession.

Simply from the perspective of the opposite sex, or even from the perspective of married life, he will probably live a happy life whether he is with Toru Asakura or Enka Higuchi.

But...since the two of them have chosen to become idols, he cannot make such an irresponsible choice under any circumstances.

After all, both of them still have a long life, and after their idol activities are over, they still have a broader future.

In order to prevent the "stains" in their idol careers from affecting their future, at least during the period when they were idols, Kento Watanabe would never respond to the confessions of those two people.

"Idol graduation..."

After hearing this word, Duye Rinshi pondered for a moment, and then asked:

"Generally speaking, how long does an idol career last?"

"It varies from person to person. If you are not popular and can't get a job, you may not be able to persist for even a year. But if you are a popular idol, you may be active for more than five years."

"...Five years."

Duye Rinshi made a slight estimate.

"It always feels like... it's a pretty long time."

"Haha, that's probably true for high school students."

Hearing Duye Rinse's thoughts, Watanabe Kento couldn't help but smile and said:

"But when you enter society, you will find that these five years may have passed in the blink of an eye..."

"…………"

[Although that guy has corrected himself a lot recently... he used to really like to communicate with us in an elder's tone. To be honest, that feeling of superiority was really unpleasant.Ah, although now and then a few lines like this still pop up. 】

Haha, it’s the same as what Higuchi-senpai said.

Seeing the emotional expression on Kento Watanabe's face, Duye Rinse didn't feel unhappy at all, but simply found it cute.

"Speaking of which, in five years, Rinshi will be an adult."

Kento Watanabe glanced at the girl next to him and briefly imagined what she would look like when she grew up.

"Oh...that's incredible...Rinshi is already very temperamental now. If he becomes more mature, he will be even more powerful!"

I don’t know whether it was because the atmosphere in the Livehouse was too open and restless, or because Kento Watanabe didn’t have that many worries during the chat.

After a moment of imagination, Kento Watanabe said without thinking at all:

"She is exactly the kind of good wife that all men dream of...she will definitely be very popular when she gets to college."

"A virtuous wife..."

After hearing this comment, Duye Rinshi was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened in disbelief:

"What the producer is saying...does Rinse become a good wife in the future?"

"Of course, I won't talk about appearance and temperament. Rinshi has a gentle personality, is good at housework, and is so talented...it is simply perfect."

"Is that so..."

After hearing this, Du Ye Linshi lowered his head slightly and murmured softly:

"Five years...after graduation...a good wife..."

"Ah, it's getting late. Rinshi, please drink the juice quickly. I'll take you back."

On the other side, Kento Watanabe, who didn't notice anything strange about the girl, lowered his head and glanced at his phone:

"The specific live time is scheduled for next week. During this time, Rinshi will discuss the repertoire with Mr. Ishibashi and let me know when the time comes."

"...Yeah, I understand."

After hearing Kento Watanabe's words, Duye Rinse immediately came back from his "delusion" and picked up the cup in front of him.
