He is an idol and a childhood sweetheart.

"What?! I'm not worried about you... I'm just worried about whether you will cause trouble to the producers!"

Daito Yuko quickly shook her head and denied Asakura Toru's statement:

"After all, the Watanabe Office has just entered its most important period of growth. We must not get into meaningless disputes because of your matter."

"Don't worry, of course I understand such a simple truth."

Toru Asakura's tone was still very calm. Judging from her expression, she didn't really seem to worry about whether her termination of the contract with Pulchra would have any negative consequences.

"But like I just said, if it's Pulchra now, they can't do anything to me anymore... Ah, thank you."

Toru Asakura nodded slightly to Duye Rinse who handed him a tea cup:

"You are Duye Rinse, right?"

"...Yes. First meeting, Asakura-senpai."

Duye Rinse greeted Asakura Toru very politely.

When Toru Asakura saw this, he immediately pinched his chin and began to take a close look at Rinse Duno.

Although Rinyo Abutino was wearing an ordinary school uniform today, Toru Asakura could still see in her the dignity and quietness that Enka Higuchi had described to her countless times.

"It's a blessing that the sages were able to discover such a potential newcomer, and they actually captured it within two days..."

Toru Asakura sighed sincerely.

"As expected of him, he can do things so easily that even big companies find it difficult to do."

"No, no, no, we will talk about Du Ye's matter later. Please explain what you just said first."

Daidong Yuko hurriedly asked this guy again who had no sense of crisis.

"Why can't Pulchra do anything to you anymore?"

"Well...it's a little troublesome to explain the specific process. You can probably understand it after you read the entertainment news in a few days."

Toru Asakura held the tea cup and said:

"Right now, I can only sum it up in one sentence."

"What is it?"

"Because the wise man's parents are back."

"……………………what?"

Because of Asakura Toru's incoherent answer, Daito Yuko seemed to have more things that she couldn't figure out.

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

On the other side, when Higuchi Enka returned to the lounge again, other guest idols had already arrived.

And when they saw Higuchi Enka entering the house, everyone's reaction was similar to Tanaka Ayako's.

Respectfully, cautiously, cautiously...

There is also the jealousy and hostility hidden deeper.

(If only I weren't so observant.)

Seeing the slightly dark look in the eyes of one of the new idols, Enka Higuchi sighed secretly in her heart.

(Such a look... Asakura has probably experienced this countless times, right?)

And the people who are hostile to her, whether in terms of number or popularity, are much more powerful than the newcomers at the bottom.

Although neither of them is the type who cares very much about other people's opinions, what would it be like if they were Daito Yuuko and Abuto Rinse?

(Now the wise man is worried.)

Putting this useless emotion in his heart, Higuchi Enka sat back in his seat, took out his notebook again, and began to study quietly.

After she took her seat, the originally quiet lounge suddenly became even quieter.

At this moment, everyone was secretly observing Higuchi Enka. Some people were hesitant to come forward and talk to him, while others were looking for what was outstanding about Higuchi Enka.

As for Tanaka Ayako, whom she had met once before, she huddled in a more remote corner and continued to hold her mobile phone as before.

However, the movements and sights of these people did not have any interference or impact on Higuchi Enka.

There was always only one thing she had to do, and that was to focus on her work.

But at the same time, at the filming location where Kento Watanabe was, it was not as peaceful as in the lounge...

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

“Is a tablecloth really necessary!?”

"Ah, after all, our program team will never engage in side business. Even if we do capture that kind of scene, we will cut out all the scenes that may cause controversy."

"Yes, but... in terms of ratings,

! ”

"The ratings of our show have always been good, and the main guest this time is Enka Higuchi, who has caused a lot of talk recently, so we don't need that kind of thing to ensure popularity."

"Goo..."

After hearing the answer from the person in charge, the producer of TQ Studio finally reluctantly accepted this fact.

His original "exposure plan" was killed by the arrangement of the program team.

At the same time, the location of Tanaka Ayako is basically difficult to enter the edge of the lens.

In a sense, Tanaka Ayako will basically have no exposure at all.

In other words, this TV show may really be the end of her idol career for her.

……

…………

Ugh.

Kento Watanabe looked at the producer, who was much older than himself, and after a moment's hesitation, he still struck up a conversation with him.

"Hello, I am Kento Watanabe from Watanabe Office."

Under the vigilant gaze of the other party, Kento Watanabe spoke to him:

"Regarding Miss Tanaka Ayako's situation, I have a few suggestions..."

Chapter 19: What the idol fanatics say

"So...you couldn't hold back in the end and made suggestions to the producer of tq?"

"Uh……"

Kento Watanabe, who was holding a hair dryer, looked particularly embarrassed when facing Higuchi Enka's questioning.

"I just gave a little makeup, clothing matching, and some suggestions on the camera feel..."

"You obviously told me that I just need to focus on work, but you ended up giving advice to others?"

Higuchi Enka said a little funny:

"Words and actions are inconsistent."

"Yeah, that's what I said... But when I saw the desperate expression on the producer's face, I still felt a little bit unbearable."

Facing Higuchi Enka's ridicule, Watanabe Kento could only say with a grimace:

"Although there are definitely not too many popular idols that can get attention, I still hope that there will be more different types of idols in this industry...even a slightly simple type like Ms. Tanaka."

"For idols, the evaluation of simplicity seems a bit harsh."

Recalling the appearance of Tanaka Ayako, Higuchi Enka said:

"Actually, a large part of the reason for her simplicity is that she doesn't know how to dress herself. If a qualified stylist can design it for her, she will actually be quite outstanding."

"How can an agency like this, which cannot guarantee continued activities, have the resources to find a stylist for her..."

Kento Watanabe couldn't help but shook his head.

"However, the producer himself does not seem to have the corresponding knowledge and vision. It is clear that his idol still has many advantages that can be explored, but he did not try to start from this perspective, but only used that extreme way to gain attention... To be honest, aside from my sympathy for him, I actually don’t really approve of this kind of producer.”

In the view of Kento Watanabe, this kind of producer has never thought about what kind of publicity this exposure will bring if the child really uses "that method" to obtain the so-called exposure, and what kind of reputation this exposure will bring. Will this behavior have a negative impact on the child's psychology...

Before becoming an idol, that child was first a physically and mentally sound girl.

"So by doing this, I hope she can avoid that evil path as much as possible."

Watanabe Kento turned off the hair dryer and gently ruffled Higuchi Enka's hair.

"Sorry, I did some unnecessary things for others."

"...I don't care, I'm just a little speechless at your indiscriminate 'idol fanaticism'."

Higuchi Enka turned around and asked Kento Watanabe in a slightly playful tone:

"If you see a bottom idol who is more qualified than her in the future, will you want to recruit her to us?"

"No, I will never do anything against the other person's wishes."

"What if the other party takes the initiative to become your responsibility?"

"...I will also refuse."

"Hesitated for three seconds."

"I was just stunned for a moment, please forgive me..."

Watanabe Kento clasped his hands in front of Higuchi Enka and said with a wry smile:

"I'm almost at my limit just to maintain the operations of you three. No matter how much I like idols, my energy has its limits."

"...Being able to recognize your own limits is quite an improvement."

After hearing Kento Watanabe's answer, Higuchi Enka turned his head back.

"And don't get me wrong, I didn't say that I hate you... rather, both I and Asakura respect you because of your unreserved passion for idols. .”

Having said this, she leaned her body back slightly and leaned directly into Kento Watanabe's arms.

"Just continue to be a fanatical idol nerd. No matter how interested you are in other idols, your eyes will eventually return to us."

"Ah, of course."

Kento Watanabe said firmly:

"After all, you are my responsibility, so of course I will care about you more."

"...It's not just that."

Higuchi Enka raised her head and looked at Kento Watanabe's face.

"Because we are idols cultivated by the best producers...so naturally we will be the most eye-catching."

"…………"

After listening to Higuchi Enka's words, Watanabe Kento's eyes widened and he was stunned for a while. It wasn't until Higuchi Enka moved his head slightly and rubbed his chest that he finally came back to his senses.

He didn't expect that Enka Higuchi, who had always been reserved, would say words that moved him so calmly.

Although Higuchi Enka always said that he would unconsciously do some "sultry" actions, but Higuchi Enka himself is not like this?

"Is this considered to be the red of the near-zhuzhe..."

"What are you talking about?"

"It's nothing."

Kento Watanabe smiled bitterly and touched Enka Higuchi's hair.

"Now I understand a little bit how you usually feel."

"……Humph."

Looking at Kento Watanabe's slightly red face, Higuchi Enka hummed with satisfaction.

However, while "flirting", Higuchi Enka did not forget the topic they just talked about——

"Speaking of which, although you did give a lot of advice to the other party's producer, that Tanaka Ayako...perhaps she doesn't really want to continue her activities."
