He is an idol and a childhood sweetheart.

"I know only too well the joy I felt in searching for him among the audience... and then finding him."

"Oh...is that so?"

After hearing this, Mizushima Satoshi raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Even the new artists who have just joined the agency... Then, wouldn't there be one more child who likes sages?"

"Well, that's it."

Toru Asakura nodded.

"However, it is estimated that there will not be more in the short term... Three idols is already the limit for a producer like Kento who does everything himself. During this period, he should be completely focused on cultivating the three members of 'Unius' People don’t have time to mess with more girls.”

"Hmm... that's it."

Mizushima Satoshi nodded thoughtfully.

"That is to say, there are four of us in total... It's been quite hard for you."

"Well, I should have been mentally prepared for it."

In fact, Toru Asakura was not too worried about this new love rival who appeared out of nowhere.

She knew very well that with Kento Watanabe's character and professional ethics, as long as he was still Du Ye Rinse's producer, it was impossible for him to respond to Du Ye Rinse's feelings.

The only thing she worried about, and also the love rival she valued most, was only one person from the beginning... and that was Higuchi Enka.

After all, apart from the relationship between producer and idol, the two are also close childhood sweethearts.Coupled with Higuchi Enka's "kindness" for Watanabe Kento, to a certain extent, she is definitely the existence closest to Watanabe Kento's heart.

And... although I don’t know the circumstances under which it happened, Higuchi Enka seems to have successfully won Kento Watanabe’s first kiss.

If it really drags on for another year, I'm afraid she really won't have any chance.

"Mr. Mizushima, can I... really return to the Watanabe Office early?"

Asakura Toru asked Mizushima Satoshi again.

"no problem."

After hearing this, Mizushima Chi nodded very calmly and said:

"After all, the methods they used are themselves illegal... This kind of blatant 'unfair competition' can only deceive some small firms without legal advisors and backers. As long as they can collect more If you have evidence, then there should be no problem whether you follow due procedures or resolve it privately... In short, you don't have to worry, just leave it all to us."

"...That's it."

Toru Asakura nodded in understanding, and then continued to ask:

"Then...after you finish the work, will you also return to the 'Watanabe Office' together?"

"will not."

Mizushima Satoshi answered very decisively:

"That office...has completely belonged to Xianren himself. I will not interfere with any of his actions or choices...or rather, I don't have the qualifications at all."

"Well……"

Faced with Mizushima Satoshi's thorough introspection and self-blame, Asakura Toru was silent for a while, and then asked:

"...Why don't you go meet the wise man for a while, now."

"…………"

Mizushima Satoshi fell into silence.

Toru Asakura continued:

"He should still be on his way to the backstage. If you want, just wait for a while in the corridor outside, and you should be able to see-"

"No... just forget it."

Satoshi Mizushima smiled bitterly and interrupted Asakura Toru's proposal.

"Let's wait until Mai and I successfully send you back to him. To him, I have always been a fictional character that only existed in his imagination. Even if I really appear in front of him now, He doesn’t have the face to commit suicide as his relative

Residence. "

"……All right."

Because he often communicates with Satoshi Mizushima and Mai Watanabe recently, Toru Asakura also knows part of their situation.

Toru Asakura naturally understands the guilt the two of them have.

After all, no matter how you look at it, this couple is definitely not a good parent.

But even so... Asakura Toru still believed that the two of them should meet with Kento Watanabe and have a frank talk.

After all, they are still blood relatives after all...

"...Ah, so it seems that Ms. Mai asked me to take some secret photos of the wise man."

Asakura Tooru, who suddenly remembered this matter, quickly stood up and said to Mizushima Satoshi:

"I'll be back when I go."

"If you take a photo...don't forget to send me a copy later."

"……kindness."

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

"Ugh……"

After Toru Asakura left, Mizushima Satoshi leaned directly on the back of the chair and let out a long sigh.

"Let's talk, let's talk..."

Every family has its cupboard.

Chapter 10: Although the situation is abnormal, it does not affect the future

The live video of Rinyo Morino can be said to have officially confirmed various rumors about "Watanabe Office" and "Unius".

Amid everyone's praise and exclamation, the reputation of "Unius" finally began to spread to areas other than photography and modeling.

When the recording of Higuchi Enka's TV show is completed, it means that Watanabe Office has officially passed the start-up period and has officially entered the rising period.

In order to be able to grasp the current hot topics and trends, and to monitor external evaluations in real time, Kento Watanabe must spend more time browsing social media and entertainment news every day.

However, as his investigation continued to deepen and the news he browsed continued to increase, he noticed a slight inconsistency in the recent hot topics——

"...It's so peaceful."

Kento Watanabe frowned slightly.

"Except for us...there seems to be no sign of any activity at other idol agencies."

Even Pulchra has been very silent recently. Apart from some programs under his own company, he seems to have never participated in external work.

However, what puzzles Kento Watanabe the most is that in addition to the silence of idol activities, several singers currently featured in Pulchra seem to have no movement at all recently, and even social media has not been updated for several days...

What is going on here?

"...Sage?"

Looking at Kento Watanabe's frown, Higuchi Enka couldn't help but asked worriedly:

"Have you seen any bad news?"

"No... rather, they are all good things."

Kento Watanabe shook his head gently:

"Because there hasn't been much movement in the idol industry recently, everyone's attention has naturally been focused on us. Rinse's video views have exceeded [-] within a week, and the number of fans of the two of you has also begun to increase significantly. Rising, and the outside world’s evaluation of us has always been stable..."

"Everything goes well... Then why do you have that expression?"

"Because it was too smooth. When we just started, other firms suddenly fell silent and allowed our evaluation and popularity to continue to rise. For a firm like us that started from scratch and had no ability to influence public opinion, it was difficult for us to It’s absolutely unnatural for this to happen.”

Kento Watanabe judged it this way:

"Something has definitely happened in the idol industry recently that we don't know about..."

"......So? Does this have any impact on what we want to do?"

"Then...that's not the case. After all, apart from focusing on our own activities and work, there is basically nothing more we can do."

"Isn't that enough?"

Compared with Kento Watanabe's unfounded worries, Enka Higuchi's attitude is extremely open-minded.

"Since these developments so far have been good for us, we just have to accept them frankly. And... be cautious about the things you can control, and be optimistic about the things you can't control. You said this yourself before Right? Why did you forget about it now?"

"……………………I'm just a little worried."

After listening to Higuchi Enka's words, Watanabe Kento also recovered from the fruitless struggle and closed the browser.

"But you're right. Anyway, it's all developments that are beneficial to us, so I don't need to worry too much..."

After all, even if he really knew what was going on, with the influence of the Watanabe Office, he would probably be able to just be a quiet bystander.

As a producer, he now has more important things to do.

Although he doesn’t know how long the discussion and attention on them on the Internet will continue, but... as long as everyone’s eyes are still focused here, he must firmly seize this hard-won opportunity and work hard to combine the three idols’ The popularity is completely spread.

The first step, of course, is Higuchi Enka’s TV show.

"How are you packing your luggage? We are going to Sapporo to stay for almost three days this time. Although daily necessities and other

You can also buy it there, but it’s best to bring a few extra pieces of clothing. "

"Don't worry, since my mother heard that we were going on a business trip to do a show, she happily helped me clean it up that night."

Just recalling the excitement on his mother's face, Higuchi Enka couldn't help but show a speechless expression.

"Obviously we were going to work, but she made it look like we were going on a trip."

"travel……"

Hearing this word, Kento Watanabe immediately remembered his flash of plans during the Obon Festival.

"Speaking of travel, when you and Tohru go on winter vacation, let's go out for the three of us after a long time."

Kento Watanabe said:

"No matter where you go to play, I'll treat you."

"……Listen to you."

Higuchi Enka, who originally liked getting along with the two of them, naturally had no objection to this.

"As for Asakura... I guess even without asking, she would immediately raise her hands in approval."

"Well, that's what I said...but I still have to ask. After all, she will most likely have work scheduled during the winter vacation."

Kento Watanabe analyzed very calmly:

"She will be back in another year. During this period, in order to allow her to leave Pulchra as smoothly as possible, it is better not to cause any further complications."

"Well, that makes sense."

Higuchi Enka also nodded, agreeing with Kento Watanabe's statement.But soon, she remembered another very crucial thing——

"Let's not talk about Asakura...I'm afraid you can't guarantee that you will have no work arrangements during that time, right?"

"Uh………………"

After hearing Higuchi Enka's words, Watanabe Kento was stunned for a moment, and then showed a rather embarrassed expression:

"I think... it shouldn't be a big problem... If it doesn't work, just wait until the New Year to go out. Even for me, I should still be able to take a short vacation during the New Year..."

"Hmph... who knows."

Just when Higuchi Enka wanted to continue complaining about Kento Watanabe's "hard-working man" attribute, familiar footsteps suddenly came from outside the office door——

"Haha...I'm so tired..."

"I am back."

Daito Yuko and Duye Rinse, who had just finished their courses, returned to the office.

As soon as she returned to the office, Fuyuko threw herself on the sofa, found a suitable position and sat down, without saying a word for a long time.

Duye Rinse, on the other hand, walked directly to the cupboard out of habit, intending to make tea for everyone as usual.
