He is an idol and a childhood sweetheart.

“A large part of the reason why WING has remained popular until now is because of their fairness. You can see this from their competition venue and selection process, and there is no need to worry about the identities of the judges and guests present. The so-called popularity or traffic are all based on strength and luck."

"There's actually an element of luck involved."

"Well, for example, it rains heavily on the day of the competition, and you happen to choose a song related to rain. You are very likely to be lucky enough to get bonus points because it fits the current atmosphere and environment."

"Do you want to worship the gods a little during the third phase review?"

"Forget it, it's too inconsistent with your style."

In line with Higuchi Enka's indifference, Watanabe Kento also tried his best to chat with her in a normal tone.

However, unlike Higuchi Enka who was always used to a poker face, Watanabe Kento's raised corners of his mouth and eyes full of smiles revealed his mood at the moment without any suspense——

"I said you... just laugh if you want to."

Looking at the guy next to him who was trying to hide his smile with his lips pursed, Higuchi Enka said with a speechless expression:

"Why don't you look in the mirror and see how weird your expression is now?"

"Hey~ What's your reaction as the client? If I act too happy, will I get a little too carried away?"

"That's better than pretending."

"Great! My Enxiang is indeed the strongest!"

After getting Higuchi Enka's permission, Watanabe Kento immediately raised his arms and shouted in a very cheerful voice:

“Not only is it No. 1, it’s even a little bit close to getting a perfect score. It’s really amazing!”

If it weren't for the recent emotional problems, he really wanted to give this hard-working child a big hug. However, considering the series of subsequent reactions that this hug might trigger in the future, he still chose to express his feelings by cheering.

This is the largest public event that Higuchi Enka has ever participated in.And those standing on the same stage as her are also outstanding new idols from all over the country.

This is completely different from the previous TV show in Sapporo. This time, many of her opponents are popular idols from various well-known agencies and also have a considerable fan base.However, even so, Higuchi Enka was still able to stand out here, and even received a super high score close to full marks among professional judges.

As a producer, this result can be said to be the highest affirmation for him.

"Ah... now I finally feel like my hard work is paying off."

"...Obviously our office was already very popular before this?"

"It's not the same thing at all."

Kento Watanabe shook his head.

"In the final analysis, both Tooru's return and the sudden exposure of the Watanabe Agency were entirely due to the intervention of my parents, not through my own strength. But your outstanding performance on WING is different. . This is the result obtained through the joint efforts of both of us! Of course I will be happy about it!"

"I know, so don't look at me like that, seriously."

Looking at Kento Watanabe's extremely serious look, Enka Higuchi felt a little embarrassed.

"And in the final analysis, a large part of the credit for this success belongs to the three of them. Without their help, I would not have been able to complete this performance alone."

"...Ah, so...I did hear the harmony of the three of them."

Kento Watanabe also immediately understood what Higuchi Enka meant.

"Indeed, that kind of atmosphere and momentum cannot be achieved by one person's voice."

"Not only this performance, but also off the stage...the three of them also brought me a lot of inspiration and thinking space."

Higuchi Enka moved his gaze outside the car window.

"If you are now... you should also feel it. Regarding the reasons why I chose this song, there are things we want you to know."

"……………………"

After hearing this, Kento Watanabe hesitated for a long time, and then nodded gently.

"Well, I almost understand a little bit."

"Why is your tone so uncertain?"

"Because even I still have a lot of uncertainties."

Even if he did feel positive emotions such as "positivity" and "hope" from the singing, even if he felt Higuchi Enka's determination for the future from her state when she sang, this does not mean that It means he can let his guard down and rest assured that he is in the "right" place.

"In the final analysis, I am just a few years older than you. Based on my current experience, knowledge and experience, I cannot predict your future at all, nor can I say whether I have really done what you said to me. Those ones……"

As he said to Hashimoto Hiyori in the dessert shop before, he may indeed still have a certain degree of confidence in his ability as a "producer", but once it comes to matters of love or life, he can no longer I no longer have the luxury of being an older person.

"You should also feel it, right? As you continue to mature, the gap between us has actually become smaller and smaller. When you continue to be active for a few more years, go out of campus, and come into contact with more people and things, . Your understanding of the world and your views on life will also become completely different. By then, your views on me may also change along with it..."

Having said this, Kento Watanabe paused for a moment.

"Actually, before I became a producer...when I was still in college, I always thought that when you and Tohru matured a little more, you would realize my ordinaryness and flaws, and then you would be like ordinary siblings. That kind of alienated me. As it turned out... the reality was completely different from what I imagined."

"...Your back is indeed not that far away to us. But that doesn't mean our favor for you will decrease because of this, right?"

Higuchi Enka said:

"Isn't that the case... because I saw a more complete and real you, I started to like you more or something."

"Well... indeed, this kind of situation does happen... at least for you and Tohru."

Kento Watanabe smiled.

"So, I will try my best to improve myself next. In this way, I won't betray your feelings towards me. As for the final choice and answer... let's leave time to decide. "

"...You actually mentioned this matter so directly."

"There is no way. After all, even if I deliberately avoid it, I can't change the facts. What's more, on some issues

Yes, I may not be as mature as you. "

Regarding the feelings of his idols, Kento Watanabe will no longer use crude and unfounded denials as "childish" or "impulsive".

He may still keep a certain distance from them... but at least, he will think more about the possibilities between himself and them in the days to come, and try to find a possibility that can make everyone happy.

There is ample time.

"Take a step, take a look."

Higuchi Enxiang, successfully passed the second phase of WING review.

Chapter 60.5: Realistic problems that come with emotional problems

"Oh...this is really amazing."

At lunch time, Hiyori Hashimoto said while holding a sandwich with his left hand and looking at the computer screen:

"On the official website, Higuchi's various values ​​and predictions have reached the first place... Judging from the data alone, it is even higher than Toru last year."

"That's what I say, but the level of other contestants is also higher than last year."

Kento Watanabe is also carefully reading the predictions and analysis about this WING.

Due to her outstanding performance in the second phase of the review, Higuchi Enka's predicted value is now firmly ranked first. However, there is not a big gap between the second and third places behind her.

"In order to win the final victory, I still have to keep working hard."

"…………I have become more active."

Looking at Kento Watanabe's energetic expression, Hashimoto Hiyori raised an eyebrow.

"Higuchi's songs really inspired you?"

"It's not so much an inspiration as it is helping me find an opportunity to admit my immaturity."

Kento Watanabe smiled and shook his head.

"In the past, I have always looked at all their behaviors as a 'experiencer' or an 'educator'. But now... I will no longer place myself in such a superior position."

Like hard-working idols, he also has a lot of room to continue learning and growing.

If they want to continue to find their own goals and pursuits through school life and idol activities, then he wants to continue to complete his work as a producer to find other pursuits besides his ideals.

"I always feel like my spirit has returned to my student days..."

"In that case, wouldn't I become the mentally oldest person in this firm?"

"At least in my opinion, Miss Hashimoto is more mature than me both mentally and in terms of working ability. And Miss Hashimoto's actual age is indeed more than me -"

"Eh!? Stop, stop, stop! If you keep talking, I will ask for mental damages!"

Hiyori Hashimoto quickly interrupted Kento Watanabe with a panicked look on his face.

“In a work environment where there are mostly female workers, age is an absolutely forbidden topic!”

Not to mention that the girls other than her are still underage girls. Talking about age under such circumstances is undoubtedly a huge mental blow to Hashimoto Hiyori, who has become a social beast.

"Uh... sorry."

Realizing that he almost said something wrong, Kento Watanabe could only laugh and scratch his head.

"In short, what I want to express is that rather than leading on my own, my current mentality is more inclined to grow with them..."

"Well, although this mentality is a bit lacking in prestige as a president, the situation in our office is indeed a bit special..."

Because there are so few employees at Watanabe's office, and the unbreakable trust between him and the four idols, he can't maintain the working environment through this method.

And to be honest...Kento Watanabe himself is really a bit too young.

Generally speaking, newcomers to the industry such as Kento Watanabe, let alone presidents, have little chance to leave behind work results even as producers.As for cultivating such outstanding newcomers as Toru Asakura and Enka Higuchi, it is even more impossible.

The reason why he has achieved what he has achieved today is due to his own talent and hard work. Luck is also a factor that cannot be ignored.

Whether they are two childhood sweethearts or two newcomers discovered accidentally after that, they are all talented people with the qualifications to become top artists.

A hardworking person with boundless enthusiasm and work ability, and four talented people who share the same goals with him...

"No matter how you look at it, the future is promising. Yeah~ It's great to be able to switch jobs here."

"Even if you say so...I won't be able to give you a salary increase in a short time."

Kento Watanabe said with a wry smile:

"In order to complete the next stage of the goal, I can say that I have drained all the budget... Although from the perspective of prospects, our firm does have full potential, but in terms of the current funding issue... it is really a bit We are stretched thin.”

"…This is indeed the problem."

As a broker, Hiyori Hashimoto naturally also understands the capital chain issues of the transition office.

As far as she knew, the reason why this originally nothing-founded firm was able to complete its initial operations was entirely dependent on Kento Watanabe’s own work savings over the past year and a half. Before Higuchi Enka and Daito Yuko received their first work commission, , office

It even almost fell into bankruptcy crisis.

Even now, basically all the income of Watanabe Office has been invested in the subsequent operation. In terms of personal income alone, Kento Watanabe's income may not even be as good as those college students who use their holidays to do part-time jobs...

"Although the funding problem will be solved sooner or later if we continue to operate, we still need to retain some activity funds for the operation of the office."

Having said this, Hashimoto Hiyori turned to Kento Watanabe and asked:

"Didn't you think about finding some sponsors before this?"

"Of course I have thought about it, but before the Pulchra incident, Watanabe & Associates' reputation and credibility were not enough to attract sponsorship."

Kento Watanabe said:

"Now, some employers have begun to come to us...but because I have been too busy during this period, I haven't had time to conduct the necessary investigations and communication..."

"Then let's put this work into the schedule. It's not an option to have such a stressful life all the time."

After saying that, Hashimoto Hiyori swallowed the sandwich in his hand directly into his stomach in two or two bites, and picked up the tea cup on the side and drank it in one gulp.

"Huh~ For my salary, I have to start working hard too!"

"...Indeed, I have to think about my own affairs a little bit."

Although talking about money in front of dreams may seem very narrow-minded, for adults, this is indeed an unavoidable problem of the heart.

What's more, from a long-term perspective, in addition to Watanabe Office, Kento Watanabe also faces major events in his own life.

Although it is still unclear what his future lover will be like, in order to create a relatively satisfactory living environment, he must have a certain financial strength.

Speaking of which...based on the current popularity of Watanabe Office and the future job prospects of the idols, by the time their idols graduate, they will all become a group of extremely rich young women.

If you really become lovers with one of them in the future, then maybe...
