He is an idol and a childhood sweetheart.

"……Eh?"

Kento Watanabe was stunned when he heard this.

"What does it mean?"

"She didn't read the script at all during the rehearsal, and she didn't ask the program staff any questions about the program."

Higuchi Enka and Watanabe Kento introduced the situation at that time.

"From the moment she entered the lounge, she was staring at her phone. She seemed to have no intention of focusing on the show."

"...Is that so?"

Kento Watanabe was a little surprised by this.

It is obvious that the producer of the other party attaches great importance to the inclusion of this program, but as an idol, Tanaka Ayako herself behaves so negatively...

"It seems that the two partners are not in sync with each other."

"Well, after all, we are on the verge of terminating our activities, so it's quite normal to have a negative attitude."

Higuchi Enka expressed his opinion.

"But not everyone is as silent as she is. You should have seen it during the rehearsal, right? Those sitting next to me showed super enthusiasm and energy, and seemed to be planning to use this method. 'Steal' the shot."

"Well, I saw it."

Kento Watanabe nodded.

"Especially the one sitting behind you. She seemed to be trying her best to steal the spotlight while you were answering your questions. If it weren't for the restraint of the person in charge, I think she might even stand up from her seat and give herself a boost. play."

"There are people like this."

Higuchi Enka couldn't help but sigh.

"The content of the program is obviously so simple, but it turns out to be so complicated by the co-stars."

"Although I had somewhat foreseen this situation, I really didn't expect it to be so serious."

Regarding what he saw today, Kento Watanabe also began to reflect on himself.

"I have gained experience this time. If I have another chance next time... I will try my best to find some programs with higher-level guests. In this way, you will not be so 'targeted' again."

Due to limitations of seniority and popularity, the current Kento Watanabe can only choose this kind of program for newcomers to test the waters.

When Toru Asakura returns to the office... the programs they appear on will probably become more high-end.There are even many exclusive interviews with Watanabe & Associates, which do not require them to consider the issues of other guests...

"It would be great if Asakura could come back soon."

With extremely pure longing and expectation, Kento Watanabe thought so.

Chapter 20: Unexpected conversation

On the day of recording, in order to reduce unnecessary preparation time as much as possible, Higuchi Enka chose to change clothes directly in the hotel before heading to the studio.

The costume that Higuchi Enka chose was the idol costume she wore when taking promotional photos.

"...Do you really want to choose this one?"

Watanabe Kento couldn't help but feel worried when he looked at Higuchi Enka who was checking repeatedly in the mirror.

Although he was the first to ask Higuchi Enka to wear this idol costume to participate in the first recording, he immediately changed his mind after actually experiencing the temperature in Sapporo.

This summer dress, which exposes shoulders and forearms and leaves part of the "absolute realm", is obviously not suitable for the current recording session.

"Although the shooting site does have central air conditioning, the height of the rack is too high and the space is too large, so the effect of the air conditioning is very limited... Speaking of which, HY's fashion is actually quite suitable for this shooting, and I also brought several sets with me. !or……"

"Don't worry, I'm well prepared to keep warm."

As Higuchi Enka spoke, she gently opened her collar and said calmly under Kento Watanabe's unavoidable gaze:

"There is a close-fitting vest inside, and the sleeves are well-fitted with sleeves... and I also specially chose a thicker model for the knee-high socks. If you are really worried, you can feel it yourself to confirm the thickness."

"...Well, that's not necessary."

Just the one that pulls the collar

Tsukuru has greatly aroused Kento Watanabe's "virgin heart rate". If he touches the knee socks again, he may not be able to straighten his waist.

"I'm just worried that you might catch a cold. Since you've made all the preparations, I won't say anything more..."

As for measures to keep women warm, Watanabe Kenji has too little experience with women, so he naturally does not have the knowledge reserve in that direction.Therefore, in order to ensure that Higuchi Enka would not catch a cold, he specially put some HY autumn clothes he bought during the previous shooting in his suitcase and prepared them as a backup plan.

Unexpectedly, even without his help, Higuchi Enka completely solved the problem through his own preventive measures...

"By the way, these methods of keeping warm...did you learn them from Tohru?"

"The thickness of knee-high socks is common sense, but I did learn this thermal vest from her. After hearing that the two of us were going to Sapporo to record a show, she immediately asked me to wear this thermal vest, and also Said I would definitely be able to use it.”

Higuchi Enka said:

"She came to Hokkaido several times last winter, so this is her experience."

"Oh...so that's the case."

After hearing this, Kento Watanabe nodded in understanding.

"I have also learned. If I come to Hokkaido again next time for activities, I will also bring a few items for you."

"Huh? What are you thinking about?"

Higuchi Enka frowned slightly.

"No matter how you think about it, this kind of clothes that are almost like underwear can't be worn with your clothes, right? Even Asakura and I will never allow this to happen."

"Vest, underwear. Heh...yeah, too."

Just thinking about "helping" Watanabe Kento suddenly came back to his senses.

"Sorry, I said something careless."

"...Although I have awareness of the opposite sex, I have no common sense to match it."

Looking at this guy who was smiling and touching the back of his head, the tension in Higuchi Enka's heart that was originally caused by the subsequent recording disappeared in an instant.

"Before you make mistakes due to lack of common sense, it would be better for me to go on business trips with you a few more times."

"That's what you educated."

As a producer, it seems that he still has a lot to learn next.

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

Although Enka Higuchi expressed in every possible way that she was not cold, Kento Watanabe still put his windbreaker on her body on the way to the studio.

Higuchi Enka, who was planning to refuse, realized that wearing his windbreaker seemed to have a different kind of intimacy, so he did not refuse, but pretended to be "troublesome" and accepted the offer. Good intentions.

There's no way, you can't just admit to him that you're happy, right?

It's embarrassing.

In this way, with this slightly awkward feeling of satisfaction, Higuchi Enka and Watanabe Kento came to the studio together.

Then, as soon as the two entered the lounge of the studio, the first thing they saw was Ayako Tanaka from TQ Office.

And when Kento Watanabe saw the look of Tanaka Ayako, his expression suddenly lit up——

"Ah... you really made the adjustments as I said."

The originally unmatched loose curly hair was tied into a single ponytail that better highlighted the youthful atmosphere. The slightly rustic round-framed glasses were also taken off and replaced with contact lenses.In addition, the clothes she wore today were also very ordinary tutu skirts.Both length and thickness are very safe.

In addition, after putting on this new look, Tanaka Ayako's mental state also seems to have improved significantly.

She no longer just held her mobile phone, but began to take out the small round mirror she carried with her, and constantly checked her hair style and makeup...

"Well, it looks much more pleasing to the eye."

Regarding Tanaka Ayako's radical change, Watanabe Kento nodded with satisfaction.

"Although this child is more suitable for straight hair than curly hair...ah, if possible, she should actually choose knee-high socks like you, and change her shoes to small leather boots, which will be more suitable for her. Wearing a skirt... Wow!"

"I said you...you should still remember who is your responsibility, right?"

As a result, before Watanabe Kento could finish his opinion, Higuchi Enka directly reached out and grabbed the soft flesh of his waist:

"Although I can understand that you are happy for her growth, it is very rude to keep staring at other people's idols, Mr. Idol Otaku."

"Ahaha, that's right..."

Kento Watanabe, who was in pain, had to retract his gaze and confessed to Higuchi Enka:

"But then again, no matter how you look at it, my Enxiang is still the most shining one in the whole room."

"...Tch, you will say nice things at times like this."

Although her tone was quite unpleasant, Higuchi Enka still put down her "evil" hand.

"In the future, we will really have to cooperate with higher-level idols... I'm afraid you will have your soul taken away by others."

"So, it's just a matter of taking a second look."

Facing Higuchi Enka's "jealous" reaction, Watanabe Kento also felt a little frightened.

fresh.

It was obvious that Enka wouldn't say anything when he was with Fuyuuko and Rinse, but she immediately acted so unhappy just by staring at idols from other agencies...

This is really a very principled "jealousy".

Kento Watanabe couldn't help but feel a little funny about this.

At the same time, Tanaka Ayako naturally noticed the two people who had just entered the lounge.

Then, after a few seconds of hesitation, she immediately walked up to the two of them with somewhat surprised eyes, and whispered to them:

"Um...good morning, Miss Higuchi, Mr. Watanabe."

"Well, good morning, Miss Tanaka."

"good morning."

The two responded very politely.

Just when the two thought that the other was going to thank Kento Watanabe for his "tips", Tanaka Ayako's next words made both of them look quite surprised at the same time——

"Can you two come to the corridor? I... have something to tell you."

Chapter 21: What losers say

"...You're saying that there are a few guests who want to deliberately cause trouble during Enxiang's session?"

"Yes……"

In the corridor outside the lounge, Tanaka Ayako said to the two of them with a troubled expression:

"I just accidentally overheard their conversation...and then I heard about this."

According to Tanaka Ayako, during the recording process, someone seemed to be planning to make some trouble and try to disturb Higuchi Enka so that she could not stay focused.

Specific actions include but are not limited to sneezing, spilling water, or accidentally kicking a stool or something like that——

"Okay, so childish..."

Even though Higuchi Enxiang was as calm as he was, he couldn't help but be fooled by this plan that had no deep meaning or strategy.

"These people... are they elementary school students? They obviously know that the program is being recorded. Even if they really make some noise, can't they just re-record or edit it out?"

"Well... I probably just want to cause trouble for you."

Kento Watanabe rubbed his eyebrows:

"I felt like I had no hope of making a comeback in this show, and then I thought I wouldn't make it easy for you or anything like that."

"Really or not... just rely on this method?"

Even though he was about to become the opponent's "target of persecution," Higuchi Yuka didn't feel any sense of crisis or tension at all, let alone anger or frustration.

She just feels genuinely bored and pathetic for this group of childish losers.

"If this makes them feel better...then let them be happy."

Higuchi Enka said in an extremely calm tone:

"It won't make any difference to me anyway."
