He is an idol and a childhood sweetheart.

"Speaking of which, you seem to be chatting with Mai a lot lately... If it's convenient, could you ask me a little bit about what you guys talked about?"

Hearing this question, Asakura Toru did not hesitate and answered directly without changing his expression:

"Oh, I asked Aunt Mai a little bit about how she captured you in the first place."

"……what?"

Mizushima Satoshi was stunned for a moment.

"You, you ask about this kind of thing... ah, is it possible that you want to use it on sages?"

"Well, that's the plan for now."

Even when facing the other party's father, Toru Asakura seemed to have no psychological burden or defensiveness.

"Although the specific time to take action has not yet been decided, we still need to be somewhat prepared... With the temperament of a wise man, if he is not given some external stimulation, this person will never do anything extraordinary. In that case, it will be very harmful to us. The plan is really not good."

"…………"

"Fortunately, Mr. Mizushima is very similar to the sage in this aspect, so Aunt Mai's experience can be said to be of considerable practical value to me. Well, I'll buy some gifts for Aunt Mai when I have time."

"That...Toru."

"how?"

"I don't have any position or reason to hinder you, but as someone who has been through this, I still hope... that you can be a little more merciful to the wise people."

"Oh, I try my best."

"…………"

Just like that, Asakura Toru's round... is finally over.

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

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Mizushima."

After completing the separate conversations between the four of them, Kento Watanabe returned to his seat.

"You seem to have had a lot of chats with them. If you have any other questions you want to know after this, you can contact me at any time."

"For now, no more."

Mizushima Satoshi said:

"But... after talking to the four of them, I finally confirmed something again."

"what?"

"Every single one of them is outstanding."

(No matter which one is the wife of a wise man...it feels very suitable.)

Mizushima Satoshi thought in his heart.

Kento Watanabe simply understood this evaluation as an evaluation of their "idol level", so he responded happily:

"Thank you very much for your affirmation. This is also my training policy. For me personally, each of them is excellent and irreplaceable!"

"And this also means that you have to put in four times the energy...well...it will still be very hard after all."

"It doesn't matter! I've been mentally prepared for it!"

"Really? That's fine."

If Toru is really discussing with Mai, then the plan given by Mai is probably the one she mentioned before...

……

Well, forget it.

Let young people decide on matters concerning young people.

"Well, here's to celebrating the success of our first meeting."

"cheers."

In this way, the first "interview" belonging to the four idols of Mizushima Satoshi and Watanabe Agency ended successfully.

Chapter 72: A little "Shibuya shock"

After the business conversation was over, Ken Watanabe and Tomomi Mizushima began to communicate normally like last time.

Under the influence of alcohol, the two began to gradually regain the state they were in when they first met, and the atmosphere of chatting became more and more relaxed.

However, just as the two were chatting happily, Mizushima Satoshi's phone suddenly rang at an inappropriate time——

"Hello, this is Mizushima...ah, are you talking about the newly signed singer?"

Judging from Mizushima Satoshi's response, this is obviously a work contact.And it seems to be the more important one.

"Video conference? But now I..."

Having said this, Satoshi Mizushima showed a hesitant expression at first, and then he looked up at Kento Watanabe, with slightly confused eyes as if he wanted to seek some advice.

When Kento Watanabe saw this, he nodded towards him and said "don't worry" to him.

"I understand, then... I will participate in the video conference in an hour... Well, that's it."

After hanging up the phone, Mizushima Satoshi sighed slightly.

"Ah...this is really..."

"Is it an important meeting?"

"...Well. An overseas artist newly signed by the company

Suddenly I wanted to discuss the new album with us. "

"Overseas artists... no wonder it's at this time."

Kento Watanabe nodded to express his understanding.

"Business matters, Mr. Mizushima, please do as you please. I will take them back after I drink the rest."

"……………………"

After hearing this, Mizushima Satoshi was silent for a while, and then said to Kento Watanabe with a guilty look on his face:

"This artist is a newcomer that [Parader] is very optimistic about. For the sake of overseas markets, we must pay attention to her."

"Ah, it's okay, I understand."

Kento Watanabe smiled and shook his head.

"Next time if you have a chance, let's have a drink together...Mr. Mizushima."

"...I'm sorry, this time...I'll excuse you for now."

After saying that, Mizushima Chi immediately took his coat and stood up, walking towards the entrance of the store without looking back.

And Kento Watanabe didn't look back at the departing figure, he just picked up the wine glass and continued to drink on his own...

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

"……real or fake?"

Looking at the figure who left in a hurry, Daidon Yuko couldn't help but said with a look of astonishment:

"Mr. Mizushima just left like this?"

"It looks like he has a very important job... There's nothing we can do about it."

Duye Rinshi, who overheard the conversation between the two, said:

"But for the producer, wouldn't this be a bit..."

"........."

Although Higuchi Enka didn't speak, his brows still wrinkled slightly.

It's not that he is dissatisfied with Mizushima Satoshi, but he simply feels a little helpless because of this untimely contact.

For Satoshi Mizushima, his guilt is because he prioritized work over family. The reason why he has been unable to formally recognize Kento Watanabe candidly is precisely because he cannot overcome the more than [-]-year-old relationship. Years of self-blame.As a result, now, when the relationship between the two has just begun to ease, he still made the same mistakes as before...

No, should this really be said to be a mistake?Perhaps it cannot be defined so hastily and simply.

But no matter what, it is really unfair to the wise man that this happened when he was about to open his heart to him little by little.

"It seems it's time for us to show up."

Toru Asakura clapped his hands and said to the other three:

"As his idol, it would be outrageous to let his own producer drink alone or something like that."

"Although there seems to be something wrong with this statement...but I agree."

"Well, I agree too."

"..."

The other three people just exchanged glances for a moment and immediately agreed to Asakura Toru's proposal.

So the next second, the four girls stood up together and walked towards Kento Watanabe who was sitting at the next table——

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

"...?"

Seeing the four girls who suddenly gathered in front of him, Kento Watanabe was stunned for a moment, then slowly put down his glass and asked:

"Everyone...what's the matter?"

"It's not so much that there's anything going on..."

"It's better to say that I just want to accompany the producer."

Daito Yuuko and Duye Rinse sat opposite Kento Watanabe.

"I can't let you drink alone in the bar? So we are here to accompany you."

"..."

Toru Asakura and Enka Higuchi sat on both sides of Kento Watanabe.

After receiving the answer, Kento Watanabe immediately understood the thoughts of these girls, so he smiled and said:

"So, are you worried that I will be too lonely if I drink alone?"

"Well, that's what it is."

Having said this, Daidon Yuko couldn't help showing a somewhat regretful expression.

"It's a pity that I'm still one year younger. I can drink with you after my birthday next year."

"It sounds too outrageous for idols to drink alcohol, not to mention that I don't really recommend you to drink this kind of thing."

Kento Watanabe shook his head.

"Also, thank you for your concern... But don't worry, I'm completely fine."

"……Really?"

Higuchi Enka, who had been silent since the beginning, suddenly asked.

"You've obviously always wanted to have a good relationship with him..., haven't you?"

"Well, that's what I said, but after all, it's an important meeting, so there's nothing we can do about it."

Kento Watanabe gently touched the wall of the cup with water droplets hanging on it with his fingers.

"And if I put myself in his shoes, if I were in the same situation, I would definitely make the same choice as him. If I think about it this way, I have no position to blame him at all... So you see, our kind Workaholic men are really not suitable as husbands or fathers.”

After saying that, he calmly picked up the wine glass and drank the remaining half of the beer in one gulp.

"So you...it would be better to think about it carefully."

After saying that, he picked up the coat hanging on the back of the chair and put it on his arm.

"Okay, let's go back."

"…………"*4

Although their expressions and tone were very calm, the four of them knew very well that Kento Watanabe's mood at this time was definitely not very good, or even
