He is an idol and a childhood sweetheart.

...Ah, yes.

In this way, Mr. Kitani showed his kindness to him without any reason before... Could it be that this mysterious Mr. Mizushima was also the helper her mother invited for him?

If this is the case, can he also try to increase his understanding of his mother in this way?

……

With some rather tangled and complicated considerations, Watanabe Kento took a long breath and began to edit the reply email...

Chapter 37: A little parent-child protection

After much hesitation, Mizushima Satoshi finally sent out an invitation for his second meeting.

However, out of guilt for Kento Watanabe and insufficient psychological construction, Satoshi Mizushima did not intend to directly identify himself through this meeting, but continued to work with Watanabe as a "music producer" The sage made contact and tested him by making insinuations...

"Of course, before that, we still need to confirm the child's preferences with Tohru and Enka."

Mizushima Satoshi didn't know how many years he had not been so nervous.

Looking at the mailbox interface on the computer screen, Satoshi Mizushima felt as if he had found the feeling of handing over a song he wrote to a record company for the first time when he was young.

He not only hopes that Kento Watanabe can give a positive answer, but also thinks that if the other party refuses, he can delay it for a little longer...

Ding--

"...Ah, I replied."

As soon as the prompt popped up on the web page, Mizushima immediately leaned forward and opened the new email without hesitation.

[Thank you very much for your support and recognition of Watanabe Office. Regarding the issue of Toru Asakura's music album, I also hope to meet with you to discuss in detail.Here is my personal contact information, if it is convenient for you...]

"…………"

After getting a positive answer, Mizushima Satoshi suddenly showed a surprised expression. However, when he saw the phone number left by Kento Watanabe, his expression immediately became serious again.

"Once you make this call... you should be able to directly decide on the time and place to meet."

In that case, advance preparation becomes even more important.

You must find out the sage's preferences in advance, and then decide the meeting location based on this...

Thinking of this, Satoshi Mizushima took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Toru Asakura, preparing to ask her for some information about Kento Watanabe...

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

"Good evening, Mr. Mizushima."

"good evening."

"...Ah, good evening, you two."

Looking at the two "fully armed" girls standing at the door, Mizushima couldn't help showing a somewhat surprised expression.

"This time, this outfit... you just came back from the office?"

"Yes."

浅仓

Toru nodded:

"Because my agent also joined the firm with me, Xianren specially called everyone at Unius to the firm to inform him of the matter."

"...Ah, that's the one you told me about before."

Mizushima nodded knowingly.

"In this way, Xianren's workload can return to normal levels."

"Yes, with Hiyori-san's help, the next sages can finally spend more time for themselves."

Toru Asakura is also very satisfied with the arrival of Hashimoto Hiyori.

"But more than that, Mr. Mizushima, the message you just sent me seems to say that you want to know Kento's preferences, right?"

"That's what happened. It's just that I didn't expect that you two would come directly here to explain to me face to face..."

"Because we also have something we want to talk to you and Aunt Mai, so we just came over directly."

"I see... I understand."

Mizushima Satoshi said while making way for the two of them.

"Mai should be walking back from "Mode. Modern" now... Anyway, you two come in first, and I'll prepare something to drink for you."

"Yes."

"excuse me."

Because each of them had something they wanted to talk about, Asakura Toru and Higuchi Enka went directly to Watanabe's home to prepare for a detailed discussion in person.

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

"I don't have any particular preference when it comes to food...but...the sage seems to be a little addicted to alcohol lately."

Because I have been spending time with Kento Watanabe recently, it was Higuchi Enka who finally answered Mizushima Satoshi's question.

"Although I reminded him several times and confiscated the canned wine he hid in the refrigerator, he still seemed to secretly buy wine while we were away, and he was also there during the Bon Festival before. After being hungover, I subconsciously go to the refrigerator to find a beer to drink..."

"Eye, eh, eh...that's true."

Hearing this, Mizushima Chi couldn't help but rubbed his eyebrows with a wry smile.

"Does this even have to be so similar to me..."

After hearing this, Toru Asakura looked at Mizushima Satoshi with curiosity:

"Hey? Mr. Mizushima also likes to drink?"

"Well, I like him very much, and like the sage, he is the kind of person who can't control himself."

Mizushima Satoshi said truthfully:

"For a while, Mai even directly restricted my pocket money in order to make me drink less."

"Oh...they are indeed a father and son."

Toru Asakura said with a smile.

"By the way, do you want to learn this method? If you want it, Enxiang, the sage will obediently leave his wallet to you, right?"

"...It's probably of no use."

Higuchi Enka shrugged.

"After all, he has a Livehouse owner as a friend. He should be able to have a drink anytime he wants."

"Ah... are you talking about Mr. Murakami? It's true... with their friendship, they should be able to get credit on credit..."

"So we still need to use stricter measures to control... As long as bottles and cans are found in the trash can, they will be fined and not allowed to smoke for three days or something."

"This is okay. It can also help him quit smoking."

"Uh... I just like to drink some wine. Considering how hard he usually works, I think there's nothing wrong with letting him go a little bit..."

Seeing that the two girls' methods were so extreme, Satoshi Mizushima quickly excused his son, who is also an alcoholic, and said:

"And as an effective means of socializing, drinking is also very meaningful to him!"

"These words are really unconvincing from Mr. Mizushima, who is also an alcoholic."

"Yes... we should definitely discuss this with Aunt Mai!"

"Uh……"

Seeing that the two of them seemed to have no intention of listening to his words, Mizushima Tomoya could only scratch his head in embarrassment and quickly changed the topic:

"Anyway, I already understand that sage likes wine... You said before that you wanted to talk to me and Mai about something, right? What is it specifically?"

"..."*2

After hearing Mizushima Satoshi's question, Higuchi Enka and Asakura Toru first looked at each other, and then Higuchi Enka straightened his sitting posture and said:

"Actually... I have a question to ask you."

"Ask me?"

Mizushima Satoshi pointed to himself in surprise:

"Is it okay if Mai is not here?"

"Although I also have questions I want to ask her, I also have questions I want to ask you alone."

Under Mizushima China's curious gaze, Higuchi Enka asked:

"So...what considerations led you to choose to elope with Ms. Mai?"

Chapter 38: Since this is the first time we meet, there is no need to toast

[Warm reminder: excessive drinking is harmful to health. 】

The agreed place was a beer house in Toshima District, Tokyo, which Kento Watanabe had never been to before.

Although Kento Watanabe felt a little strange about discussing business in a beer hall, considering that few of the big shots he met seemed to behave according to common sense, he readily accepted it.

So, at the appointed time and at the appointed place,

Kento Watanabe saw the target of this negotiation——

"…………"

When he saw the face of the man on the seat, Kento Watanabe froze on the spot unconsciously.

Sitting on the seat is a middle-aged man wearing a suit and a pair of half-rimmed glasses. Judging from the workmanship of the suit and the texture of the fabric, the suit he is wearing is by no means an ordinary one that can be seen everywhere. goods.

However, apart from that, what shocked Kento Watanabe the most was his face.

Kento Watanabe can guarantee that this is definitely the first time he and this middle-aged man have met... However, the other person's face still gives him an inexplicable sense of intimacy and familiarity.

Especially those eyes that were carefully checking the menu. Kento Watanabe always felt that he had seen such eyes somewhere...

"..."

At the same time, Mizushima Satoshi, who was reading the menu, noticed this new customer who walked into the store.

And when he raised his head and looked at the young man standing blankly at the door, his expression couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.But soon, he immediately showed a gentle smile and waved gently to Kento Watanabe.

"Here, Kento Watanabe...sir."

"Ah, yes."

Watanabe Kento, who realized that he was slightly out of sorts, immediately came to his senses after hearing this, and hurriedly sat on the seat opposite Mizushima Satoshi. (**

）

"Sorry for keeping you waiting."

"No, I just arrived a little while ago."

Mizushima Satoshi smiled and said:

"Please take a seat. I just ordered a drink and it should be delivered shortly."

"Please take care."

Not only his face, but also his speech and behavior are so gentle and kind...

Under Satoshi Mizushima's hospitality, Kento Watanabe's favorable impression of him suddenly improved a lot.

"Well, although we have already exchanged emails in advance, let me introduce myself...I am the producer of Watanabe Office...and president, Kento Watanabe."

After hearing this, Mizushima Satoshi blinked at first, and then couldn't help but smile:

"...Logically speaking, the president should be put first, right?"

Faced with Mizushima Satoshi's reminder, Watanabe Kento also realized his mistake and explained with a smile:

"Uh... this, this... because I have only recently gained a little bit of self-consciousness as a president, so..."

"Haha, it's okay. This unique introduction method may make it easier for other partners to remember you."

Mizushima Satoshi, who had long known about Kento Watanabe's past experiences, chuckled and shook his head.

"Then, it's time for me to introduce myself in a more formal way... My name is Mizushima Satoshi, and I'm the music director of the record company [Parader]. It's our first time meeting you. Please give me some advice."
