Prologue: The so-called accumulation but little gain

"Hello, Mr. Ishibashi! This is Kento Watanabe... Yes, my long-awaited greetings. Your concert last week was a success. Congratulations... Ah, I'm not talking politely. I'm here to give you this time. I'm calling because I want to book the next vocal lesson with you... Yes, it's the one I promised you before. Ah haha, yes, I finally recruited an idol, and he's also a kid with quite high quality. In terms of time... um , no problem, then it’s up to you.”

"Hey, it's me, Watanabe. How have you been lately? I know, you've been hanging out with Key recently, and you even recorded a routine together, right? Will you join me next time? Forget it. Come on, I don’t want to be your backup dancer... By the way, I have a serious business calling you this time. Next, I want your dance company to book dance lessons... Ah, that’s right, I finally hired an artist. . The content of the course will be as I told you before... Well, it’s settled, let’s go to a bar together in two days and ask Murakami to treat us.”

"Good afternoon, Ms. Fujito. Huh? I'm not here to recruit people. I'm calling to discuss this with you... Can you contact Mr. Kachi for me? I'm going to give it to you next week. The idol takes promotional photos, so I want to ask him to design the image and matching... There is no problem with the price, I have saved up for the past year and a half just for this moment."

"Hello! This is..."

"..."

Although Higuchi Enka already knew that Kento Watanabe had accumulated a large number of contacts in the past year and a half, she was still deeply shocked by the work contact with Kento Watanabe that lasted for half an hour.

From course arrangements to promotional photo shoots, from vocal teachers to stylists, within half an hour, every link written in the plan had been arranged or booked.

"Huh... my hands are sore."

Finally, after completing all the contact work, Watanabe Kento finally put down his mobile phone and ballpoint pen, and stretched out.

"Tomorrow's schedule is to meet with the dance teacher and do some basic training. The day after tomorrow is a vocal lesson. The first lesson is probably to test your vocal range and basic skills... I will make specific course arrangements after communicating with them. I will prepare a detailed course schedule and send it to you.”

Watanabe Kento said to Higuchi Enka behind him without raising his head:

"For today, let's just adjust to the situation for the time being! It's still early, I'll take you to the tram stop after I tidy up a little."

Since most classes are scheduled in the afternoon, Higuchi Enka, who does not need to get up early, naturally does not need to stay in the office all the time.

However, Higuchi Enka was not in a hurry to go back at this time——

"...Before that, I have a few questions to ask."

"kindness?"

"Is it possible that all idol producers can achieve the kind of... communication efficiency you just had?"

"Well...actually, I don't know much about it either."

Kento Watanabe shook his head and said:

"After all, except for my mother, I have never seen other producers working. But if it were my mother, her efficiency would probably be twice as fast as mine."

"..."

If Ms. Watanabe, who was called a "monster" by her mother, is used as the standard, then definitely not everyone can do it.

And in addition to work efficiency, there are other details in the call just now that deserve her attention——

"Those teachers you found for me... don't seem to be ordinary teachers, right?"

Higuchi Enka repeated with her fingers:

"Vocal teachers who can give concerts, dance teachers who run dance troupes, and stylists who pay a lot of money to book appointments... Who have you met in the past year and a half?"

"Ah...Actually, it's just a little bit of friendship."

Kento Watanabe scratched his head in embarrassment.

"I met the vocal teacher Mr. Ishibashi on a TV show, because I gave the stage dancers some suggestions that he recognized, and then we gradually became familiar with him... As for your dance teacher, who is The uncle named Guchon, whom I met through Murakami at Livehouse, is a guy who won the world championship and was soft-hearted... Well, although he sounds very impressive, his personality is actually very easy to get along with. As for the stylist... …”

Kento Watanabe was sorting out the table while talking about the process of getting acquainted with those people.

And Higuchi Enka's expression became calmer and calmer from the shock at the beginning.

The more she understands Watanabe's efforts, the more grateful she is for her decision.

But on the contrary, she also felt a little uneasy in her heart.

“What if I don’t produce commensurate results?”

Higuchi Enka couldn't help but asked in a low voice:

"Obviously, I have found so many great teachers for me..."

"I know what you are thinking...but this way of thinking is wrong, Enka."

Of course Watanabe Kento understands Higuchi Enka

concerns at the moment.

As the hub for contacting these "big people", he himself naturally understands the abilities and influence of the teachers he is contacting.

It would be better to say that he took a fancy to these and worked hard to establish contact with them.

"Although it may sound a bit unpleasant to say this, I originally came into contact with them with a purpose."

In order to get closer to these people, Watanabe Kento naturally expended a certain amount of energy.

For example, free labor and help, regular social contact, and multiple treats and gifts...

Perhaps this approach may seem too worldly or shameless in the eyes of many people, but in the eyes of Kento Watanabe, these connections are equivalent to a broader stage and opportunities.

"In other words, these scary-sounding interpersonal relationships are completely prepared by me to achieve my goals and have nothing to do with you. Even if my next idol is not you, I will still contact them as a teacher .So you don’t need to have any pressure or sense of responsibility for this, just be glad that you have a producer with rich connections.”

Kento Watanabe smiled and said:

"There is only one thing you have to do, and that is to work hard to become a more charming idol!"

"...you really know how to talk."

Higuchi Enka pursed her lips, and then turned her head to the side.

Although she didn't want to admit it, Kento Watanabe's words did accurately dispel most of the uneasiness in her heart.

"Don't blame me if you fail to catch the eye of those big shots."

"Will not."

Kento Watanabe is full of confidence in this.

"I know very well what a charming child my Enxiang is... Eh? Wait, Enxiang? Where are you going?"

"……go home."

"Wait for me! I'll take you with me... Why are you walking faster and faster!?"

As the chirping of cicadas gradually subsides, the slightly hot August begins.

Chapter 1: The first step as an idol

In the afternoon of the next day, Higuchi Enka came to the office at the agreed time and prepared to go to the dance studio with Kento Watanabe.

And when she arrived at the office, she was immediately shocked by Kento Watanabe's outfit in front of her——

"What kind of outfit is this?"

"? Is it weird?"

Kento Watanabe glanced down at himself.

"It looks quite pleasing to me."

"No, no, no, that's not what you said..."

A peaked cap with a big logo, a loose T-shirt, and bloomers...

It's totally a hip-hop street style look.

"Don't you always wear a suit when you work?"

"Because the place we go to next is more special."

Kento Watanabe put his hand on the brim of his hat and said:

"What? Isn't it appropriate?"

"...Not at all."

Kento Watanabe, who has a well-proportioned figure, can be said to have a clothes-hanger body shape suitable for all styles. Even if he puts on this street-style clothes, there is no sense of disobedience at all.

Rather...this combination of Kento Watanabe brings a considerable degree of freshness to Enka Higuchi.

"I'm just a little surprised...after all, I've never seen you wearing this kind of clothes."

"After all, this kind of clothes is very loose and suitable for strenuous exercise."

"This is too convenient for you."

Higuchi Enka couldn't help but complain:

"I even feel like you are the one going to class..."

"Ah, that's right."

Under Higuchi Enka's stunned gaze, Watanabe Kento nodded calmly and said:

"I'm going to class with you later."

"……………………Eh?"

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

"Long time no see, sage!"

"Obviously only two months."

"That's long enough."

At the door of the dance studio, Ken Watanabe greeted a dark-skinned middle-aged man wearing a woolen hat very warmly.

"So, this is the kid you were talking about yesterday, right?"

"Ah, that's right."

Kento Watanabe introduced this middle-aged man:

"Her name is Higuchi Enka. She is my only idol currently."

"Hello, this is the first time we meet. My name is Higuchi Enka."

Higuchi Enka bowed to the future dance teacher.

"Please give me some advice next...Teacher Guchon."

"Oh, this kid is so polite!"

Guchon couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in admiration.

"Completely different from the young kids in our group... I am Guchon, the leader of Electric Animation, a friend of Xianrenjun, and your next teacher... Okay, come in first, there are no reservations for this dance studio today. So it’s just for the three of us.”

"Three..."

After hearing this number, Higuchi Enxiang couldn't help turning his head and asked:

"So...you really want to take dance lessons with me?"

"Yes."

Kento Watanabe nodded without hesitation.

"You must be nervous when facing this kind of strange uncle alone. If I are with you, this kind of nervousness should be

It will also resolve a lot. "

"That's what I said..."
