He is an idol and a childhood sweetheart.

"I've calmed down."

"It's a good movie."

Kento Watanabe also said with emotion:

"I'm so lucky. The first time I took Rinshi to watch a movie, it was such a good work."

After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Du Ye Rinshi's still red eyes, and couldn't help but reveal a somewhat evil smile.

"Rinshi."

"...I'm here, Mr. Producer."

"It's great that we are all modern people."

"………………Bullying."

Duye Rinse couldn't hear the faint smile in Kento Watanabe's words.

But thanks to it, Duye Rinse was able to wake up from the sentimental ending more quickly and focus on his sweetheart around him again.

"But... that's right. Fortunately, the producer and I are from the same era."

No need for letters, just at your fingertips.

Although he had once rejected her with an extremely firm attitude, the possibility between the two had not been cut off.

(Compared with alien time and space, life and death...being rejected once is nothing at all.)

Tragedy brings not only temporary sentimentality, but also allows people to discover their own positive thinking from the sense of gap between reality and reality.

Just like Duye Rinse now.

"Then, we should go for interviews next."

As Kento Watanabe spoke, he stood up and extended his hand to Duye Rinse:

"Let's go, Rinse."

"……kindness."

What comes from the palm is real temperature and touch.

Feeling this unparalleled sense of reality and fulfillment, a smile appeared on Duye Rinshi's face again.

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

[Are Ms. Rinse satisfied with the viewing experience of this movie? 】

"Yes, I like this movie very much. When it is officially released, I may bring everyone in the office to watch it again."

[Oh, this is really a high praise, so... can you please tell me a little bit about your feelings without spoiling it? 】

"If I want to talk about my thoughts...sure enough, you should try to cherish the people around you."

[The tone is very serious. It seems that Miss Rinse also has someone she wants to cherish. 】

"……Yes."

It is something that must be firmly grasped no matter what.

and so……

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

"Master Producer."

After leaving the venue and returning to the car, Duye Rinshi immediately said:

"As for the topic before the screening... I would like to add one point."

"The topic before the screening... ah, was it about the costumes?"

"kindness."

Duye Rinshi nodded.

"Although I did say that I want to try more new things. Likewise, I don't object to changing into a kimono and yukata."

"Ah, I already understand this."

Kento Watanabe said:

"You also hope to use your talent in kimono dressing, right?"

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

Duye Rinshi shook his head gently.

"Because... the producer also likes the way I look in a kimono, right?"

"Uh……"

Kento Watanabe could not deny it.

Recalling the time when the two first met, it was because I was so amazed by Rinse Duno's kimono style that I came up with the idea of ​​making her an idol.

Seeing Kento Watanabe's speechless look, Duye Rinse continued logically:

"Do you understand now, Mr. Producer? The reason why I don't reject kimonos."

"Ah... I see."

Women are those who please themselves.

This most simple and easy-to-understand truth is naturally very clear to Ken Watanabe.

"From now on...if there is an event that requires me to wear a kimono, please be sure to let me participate."

With determination that was hard to refuse, Duye Rinshi said in her gentle and gentle voice:

"I also want to show the side that the producer likes as much as possible."

"………………I see."

Next time... it's better not to take her to watch such a love-themed movie...

Feeling his uncontrollable heartbeat, Kento Watanabe thought.

Chapter 70: Start with a work topic

As agreed before, after deciding to release the "Unius" album, Kento Watanabe immediately approached the music director of "Parader", Satoshi Mizushima.

In order to discuss related matters, the two once again chose the izakaya where they first met as the meeting venue.

Only this time, Kento Watanabe went with four idols from Watanabe Office.And because the four idols were still at an age where they could not drink, they sat at another table next to the two of them——

"...This is really lively."

Mizushima Satoshi looked at the girls in front of him and showed a slightly meaningful smile.

"Staying with you makes me feel a lot younger."

"Actually, you do look very young."

Kento Watanabe also smiled and replied.

Although the two did have the experience of drinking and chatting, they hadn't seen each other for more than a month, and there was really no way for the two of them to return to the previous sense of distance with just a few words.

While the two of them were still chatting politely, Daidon Yuko, who was sitting aside, couldn't sit still——

"This, this, this, this... I must have read it correctly, right?"

Daidon Yuko whispered to the other three people:

"Mr. Mizushima...doesn't he look a little too similar to our producer?!"

After hearing this, Higuchi Enka immediately replied in a low voice:

"It's normal, because Mr. Mizushima is Kento's biological father."

"Varied--?!"

Daidon Yuko almost couldn't control her voice.

"He is actually the mysterious man whom the legendary producer has never met since he was born?!"

"Well...that's what it's all about."

Toru Asakura shrugged.

"That's why the way the two of them communicate is so stiff... Look, it's been almost five minutes, and the two of them are still talking about something."

"...Producer-sama's, father."

Duye Rinshi also fell into chaos because of this sudden news.

"No, it's okay not to say hello...but the producer doesn't seem to recognize Mr. Mizushima...but...eh?"

"Don't think so much, Rinshi."

Seeing that Duye Rinse was at a loss, Higuchi Enka sighed slightly.

"Let's treat Mr. Mizushima as a stranger for now. Although both of them already know the other's identity, it seems that neither side is ready to formally recognize each other."

"Yes, that's it..."

After hearing this, Du Ye Linshi nodded in understanding.

Although it is unclear what the relationship between these two people is, judging from their current polite and distant attitudes, it seems that it is difficult to define it as a simple father-son relationship.

"Wow, things are getting complicated all of a sudden..."

Daidon Yuko complained softly:

"I hate this kind of messy relationship with hidden secrets."

"...the same feeling."

Toru Asakura rested his chin on his hand and looked helplessly in the direction of Ken Watanabe and Satoshi Mizushima.

"How long do they plan to maintain this relationship? It's really troublesome to keep pretending that they don't know each other..."

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

On the other side, after finishing their greetings, the two of them had nothing to talk about, so they naturally talked about work.

Although the beer they ordered was already on the table, because both of them are workaholics who pay great attention to work efficiency, they decided to drink after talking about business.

"...Is this how it was arranged?"

Looking at the plan handed to him by Kento Watanabe, Tomomi Mizushima rubbed his chin and showed a thoughtful expression.

"Obviously they are an idol group, but they only have one chorus song..."

"Yes,

This is exactly the philosophy of our Watanabe Office. "

Kento Watanabe said:

“I wanted to bring out as much of everyone’s personality and strengths as possible, and to do that I didn’t want a chorus that would just erase that individuality.”

"……I see."

Mizushima nodded knowingly.

"So, it seems that the outside world's evaluation of Watanabe Office is all about the 'elite line' and 'all staff lead'... This should be the effect you are pursuing, right?"

"Yes."

Kento Watanabe answered in the affirmative.

"Each idol has his or her own stage and style, so my 'Unius', or everyone in the entire Watanabe Agency, is the protagonist."

"Well, that's a pretty good idea."

After hearing this, Mizushima Satoshi showed an expression of approval.

"Although it is true that songs of a group and chorus nature were more popular in the past few years, the Japanese pop circle is gradually returning to the pursuit of 'personal style'. Under this premise, this album focusing on personal songs may indeed be very popular. popular."

"If that's the case, then-"

"But... while emphasizing individuality, we cannot absolutely abandon the connection between the members of the group."
