He is an idol and a childhood sweetheart.

"……………………"

Faced with Toru Asakura's extremely frank declaration, Higuchi Enka wanted to say something to refute or dissuade, but she was actually in the wrong and had no right to speak out to stop him.

"As long as... it won't affect his work... whatever you want..."

Higuchi Enka turned his head to the side and said in an extremely difficult tone:

"Anyway, you are free to do whatever you want..."

"I don't see the meaning of 'casual' at all...don't you care too much?"

Listening to Higuchi Enka's wavering tone, Asakura Toru laughed and said:

"Don't worry, I know what is most important to the sages now. I won't go too far."

"…………"

"Of course, if you are really worried, we can go together."

"……Aha!?!?!"

"Wow...the sound was so loud...it scared me."

"You, you you... do you know what you just said?!"

Higuchi Enka pointed at Asakura Toru with a "surprised" expression.

"One, together...how is this kind of thing...possible..."

"I may not be able to accept what others say...but if it's you, Enxiang, I won't mind."

Ignoring Higuchi Enka's extremely shocked look, Asakura Toru continued:

"But before that, we still need to clarify Hiyori-san's position... If she is also interested in Kento, it will be a big trouble. She is an adult, and she has a lot in common with Kento, and The next two people's desks were still next to each other, well..."

"…………"

Higuchi Enka completely failed to listen to Asakura Toru's words.

Ever since hearing the word 'together', Higuchi Enka's mind has been completely in a state of brainstorming.

She felt unprecedentedly shocked by this new concept that completely went against her common sense.

However, in addition, in her mind, a possibility that she had never imagined did indeed arise...

In this way, under Toru Asakura's "dangerous speech", Higuchi Enka seemed to quietly open a door to the "new world" in his heart...

Chapter 32: The majesty of being a senior

"My name is Hashimoto Hiyori, and I will be your manager from today on. I would like to ask for your guidance in the future."

The next day, although there was no work scheduled, Kento Watanabe still invited everyone from Watanabe Office to the office.

As for the main purpose, it is naturally just to allow you to have a good greeting with this future colleague.

And it stands to reason that the other "new member" will naturally do the same thing.

"...Hey, Tooru, it's your turn."

"Eh? I'm coming too? I've obviously come in advance to say hello..."

"Ah, I'm Toru Asakura... Well, hello everyone."

"There is really no sense of formality at all..."

"There's nothing I can do about it. After all, we've already met each other in advance. It's impossible for me to pretend to be our first meeting now."

Toru Asakura said calmly:

"And I'm not a new member. If you really want to say that, I'm the only 'first-generation' member of Watanabe Office. Even Higuchi should properly call me senpai... Hey, Higuchi, do you want to call me a trial like this? try?"

"…………"

When Higuchi Enka heard this, he shook his head with a speechless expression.

Obviously

, she did not intend to respond to Asakura Toru's unreasonable troubles.

After seeing that everyone had said hello, Kento Watanabe also walked to Hashimoto Hiyori from behind and said to the idols in front of him:

"With the addition of Ms. Hashimoto, our next work format will change slightly..."

Then, Kento Watanabe explained to them the results of his discussion after a three-hour conference call with Hiyori Hashimoto the night before.

First, and most importantly, although Kento Watanabe will still be responsible for formulating future schedules and work plans, the specific work liaison will be fully delegated to Hiyori Hashimoto.

In addition, most of the work that requires accompanying people will be handed over to Hiyori Hashimoto, while Kento Watanabe will spend more time on decision-making and external liaison...

“In general, it’s just that the producers spend less time with us.”

After hearing this, Daito Yuko concluded:

"Well, that's understandable. After all, this is how a normal producer should work..."

Although Yuuko Daidon seemed to understand this change very well, her tone was completely different from it.

Compared to this sudden appearance of the agent, she really preferred that Kento Watanabe would continue to work with her.

As for Daito Yuko's slightly dissatisfied tone, Watanabe Kento also quickly expressed:

"Uh... Although that's the case in general, if it's more important work, I will still accompany you. For example, the recording of TV programs, location photography, and Live..."

"Can't you see the producer every day?"

Duye Rinshi seemed to be very disappointed with this.

When Kento Watanabe saw this, he immediately shook his head and said:

"Yeah, that's not the case... I will still stay in the office most of the time, so if you have anything, you can come to the office to find me..."

Obviously, Unius members who are used to spending time with Kento Watanabe are still a little uncomfortable with this change in work.

Toru Asakura understood everyone's reaction very well.

"...Well, that's indeed the case."

She thought back to the time when she first entered Pulchra.

Because she had long been accustomed to spending time with Kento Watanabe, she felt very uncomfortable when she first left him.

But after that, after a year and a half of idol activities, Asakura Toru finally understood that Watanabe Kento's working style was simply not appropriate and could not be maintained for a long time.

To say why...

"The current Watanabe Office is no longer the place you remember where you can continue to live leisurely and enjoy the cultivation of love."

Toru Asakura said:

"As the reputation continues to increase, the firm will receive more and more work commissions. In order to find more suitable jobs for us, and also to find a suitable stage for us, Xianren The workload that will follow is quite terrifying, and if he continues to maintain the same work style as before, he will definitely be exhausted."

"And it's not just for Xian Ren. The tasks we will receive in the future will also have increasing demands on ourselves. If you don't want to discredit the Watanabe Office and hold Xian Ren back, then I suggest that you work hard next Focus on yourself.”

"........."

Seeing Toru Asakura's expression that was a little more serious than usual, Enka Higuchi raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Asakura Toru, who has always had an easy-going and indifferent personality, would never say such harsh words to others.

At this time, her serious attitude was probably to remind the newcomers present to change their thinking in time...

After all, the current Watanabe Office is indeed no longer the obscure small office it used to be.

"I believe everyone can feel that even if we look at the entire industry, Xian Ren's level is extremely outstanding. Under his leadership, Watanabe Office will only continue to move towards a higher position. In order to keep up with The footsteps of a wise man, and in order to become a responsible idol worthy of him, you must also put in corresponding efforts and determination."

"I don't care what the reasons are for you to want to become an idol, and I don't want to know how you have been praised by wise men. As long as you still want to consider yourself an idol as a wise man, then I suggest that you put away those idols as soon as possible. Keep a half-hearted attitude and face your future idol career with a more serious attitude. Otherwise, I will not hesitate to continue to 'occupy' him as I did in the past."

After that, she first winked at Kento Watanabe's slightly astonished expression, then waved her hand, turned around and walked out of the office...

"...Oh, this kid is really awesome."

Facing Toru Asakura's obvious "provoking method", Hashimoto Hiyori suddenly showed a wry smile.

Of course she could feel Toru Asakura's good intentions, but the last provocation was still a little too much...

"Um...everyone, although Toru just said some...slightly scary words, please don't worry. With the help of me and Mr. Watanabe, you

Our actual work pressure will not increase too much!so……"

"No... Asakura, she's right."

At this moment, Daito Yuko suddenly interrupted Hashimoto Hiyori's roundup with a look of unwillingness:

"It's true that I haven't adapted to the changes in Watanabe Office...and I'm facing idol activities with a half-hearted attitude."

Under the guidance of Kento Watanabe, she has been making steady progress, and at the same time, she has been receiving praise and recognition from the outside world.

The smooth growth made her gradually forget the sense of urgency and anxiety when she first debuted. In fact, with her current lazy and lazy work attitude, she may not be able to keep up with the current progress of Watanabe's affairs.

"..."

At the same time, Duye Rinshi also frowned slightly and reflected on his current working status.

Maybe it’s because her starting point is too high, or maybe it’s because Kento Watanabe has always affirmed her, but she is indeed not too focused on her idol activities...

Naturally, her longing for the producer will not fade away, but on top of that...in order to keep up with his pace, maybe she has to start working a little harder.

In this way, after Toru Asakura's "just speech", Yuko Daidon and Rinse Duye no longer had any complaints about the subsequent job changes, and even ignited their fighting spirit and prepared to use more correct methods. Attitude to face the next idol career.

At the same time, Higuchi Enka finally realized that this lazy person who always seemed very out of place at home was actually the most sober and the most outstanding idol in Watanabe Agency.

"As expected of Asakura."

In this way, with different sighs and determinations, Watanabe Office finally took the first step towards the future.

Chapter 33: Because we are childhood sweethearts

After the self-introduction session ended, everyone who had no follow-up arrangements naturally started their own way home.

In order to deepen the relationship between them, Hashimoto Hiyori took the initiative to borrow Kento Watanabe's car keys and personally went to see Daifu Yuko and Duye Rinse off.

So at this moment, only the trio of childhood sweethearts are left in the office...

"Thank you for your hard work, Asakura."

After the other three people left, Higuchi Enka immediately said to Asakura Toru:

"Deliberately preaching with such a harsh attitude... it must be quite hard for you, right?"

"That's it..."

After there were no outsiders, Toru Asakura immediately returned to his usual lazy and relaxed state.

"It's so troublesome to have to keep a straight face and control your tone at the same time... Ah, I kind of get the hard work of the teachers."

"Thank you, Tooru."

Kento Watanabe also expressed his gratitude to Toru Asakura.

"...Honestly, these words should have been said to them by me, the producer. But even I haven't adapted to the changes in Watanabe Office, so..."

"It's okay, I understand, I understand."

Under Enka Higuchi's gaze, Toru Asakura pounced directly behind Kento Watanabe, and stretched out his hand to touch his hair:

"My sudden return really bothers you, doesn't it? I'm sorry..."

Of course Toru Asakura knew what a shock it would be to suddenly return to this firm that was just getting on the right track with his popularity.

But even so, she still wanted to race against time to get back here.

Not only because of her longing for Kento Watanabe... but also because of the growth rate of Kento Watanabe and Unius.

Before she left, Kento Watanabe already had the potential of an excellent producer, and after that year and a half of accumulation, he had grown to a level that was completely beyond her imagination.

A more complete training plan, strong network resources, and clear development concepts...

If she really follows the original contract time and waits for her to return here in another year, the three "Unius" people will surely become top idols even better than her... By then, the only advantage she has will be will be gone.

Especially the existence of Higuchi Enka... She can guarantee that if Higuchi Enka is given another year, she will definitely become the "ideal" existence in Kento Watanabe's heart.

"And...I really didn't think that I could really come back here so soon. How can I put it...it was really not my intention to trouble you so much..."

"...Rather than saying it is a trouble, it is better to say it is a trouble of happiness."
