He is an idol and a childhood sweetheart.

"That's it!"

After hearing Asakura Toru's thank you, the agent did not choose to say some polite words or social rhetoric, but let out a very exaggerated sigh——

"I'm often late, forget to bring my wallet, talk without restraint, don't read the script when recording, and often forget the lyrics when singing... When I first took over your job, I was really tortured by you to the point of perforating my stomach!"

"……Feel sorry."

Toru Asakura's expression was also very regretful.

"During that time, I just left Hyun... my former producer not long ago, so I couldn't accept it emotionally."

"I know, that's why I endured it and didn't reprimand you, right?"

The agent lady stretched out her hand and touched the spot she just slapped again.

"When you first came here, your eyes were dead... In fact, until this phone call, you had never spoken to me in such a candid manner. As for me, although I have always wanted to You want to be an agent who can support your activities well, but I can also feel from the past year and a half that that wise man must be a very important person to you."

Having said that, she couldn't help laughing.

"To be able to turn such a loose girl into such an outstanding talented idol... He is exactly what I thought, he is an amazing producer."

"……kindness."

After hearing his manager praise the wise man, Asakura Toru couldn't help but have a proud smile on his face.

"In my eyes, he's the best producer in the world."

"The more this happens, the more you need to know how to protect yourself in this place."

The agent lady's tone became serious again.

"I also listened to the phone call you just made... You still want to go back to that wise man in the end, right? If that's the case, you must complete the three-year contract. Otherwise... those breach of contract regulations are not only It will jeopardize your career, and it will also implicate Mr. Xian."

"..."

After hearing what the agent said, Toru Asakura couldn't help showing a surprised expression——

"You...won't stop me?"

"Stop what?"

"Prevent me from leaving Pulchra."

"Well... I originally wanted to save you, but... after seeing your current expression, I really can't say this."

The agent lady said helplessly:

"Except for your business smile on the show, I rarely see your heartfelt smile in the audience... But look at you now, you have never lowered the corner of your mouth since the beginning. If you were seen by others When people see it, they will definitely be surprised to death.”

"Eh...is that so?"

Toru Asakura seemed completely unaware of this.

"No wonder no one wants to be friends with me..."

"Well... I think it's just because of the uglier reason."

As the agent spoke, she turned back and looked at the company door behind her.

"Although I am Pulchra's manager, I care more about my artists than the so-called company interests. Since you think that agency is more suitable for you, then of course I will respect your choice."

"...My feeling is indeed correct."

After hearing what the agent said, Toru Asakura couldn't help but said:

"To some extent, you are really similar to the wise man."

"Ah, it's really incredible to be evaluated like this by you..."

The agent lady smiled.

"Then in the remaining year and a half, please cooperate with me in my work...for the future of both of us."

"Well... I see."

Toru Asakura nodded and extended his right hand to her.

"Please take good care of me next time... Hiyori."

"!"

Hiyori was surprised at first, and then she returned the hug with a smile——

"Ah, take care of me, Tooru."

The resolution of the misunderstanding not only melted the gap between Asakura Toru and Watanabe Kento.

At the same time, it also brought a new beginning and bond to Toru Asakura...

"By the way...a year and a half later, Hiyori should also go to Kento's place with me. He just doesn't have a suitable manager there."

"………………Eh?"

Toru Asakura has always been a very smart child.

Chapter 13: Two people's "downcoming to defeat the upper"

"No matter how much I say thank you, it's not enough..."

After putting down the phone, Kento Watanabe looked at Enka Higuchi beside him and said:

"Thanks to you being here, Tohru and I finally don't have to torture each other anymore."

"...Well, I will accept your thanks honestly this time."

Seeing Kento Watanabe's relieved expression, Enka Higuchi's mood became a lot lighter.

"As expected, you two still can't live without me."

"Yes."

Kento Watanabe nodded decisively and admitted:

"The three of us... no matter who is missing, we can't do it."

Because of this, the next revenge will become even more critical.

"It's a coincidence that in the past year and a half, I have indeed studied this former 'imaginary enemy'."

As he spoke, Kento Watanabe called Higuchi Enka to his side and opened a form file from the folder.

In that table, there are the names of nearly twenty companies, and under some companies, there are even many more names with the label "Subsidiary".

"These are all the companies that have a cooperative relationship with Pulchra. Some are controlled by Pulchra, some are late-stage acquisition companies, and some have reached long-term and in-depth cooperation... If we really regard Pulchra as an opponent in the future, then in my table Naturally the same goes for these companies.”

"…………"

From fashion brands to well-known magazines, from media companies to advertisers.

Even outsiders who have no knowledge of the industry can feel the huge and unfathomable size of Pulchra from this table.

"We are an idol agency that has not yet entered its infancy. For us now, the only thing we can do is to expand our popularity and influence first... For this reason, your activity is also the most important."

Kento Watanabe closed the form as he spoke.

"Winning WING... is the best and fastest way for us to gain popularity in a short period of time. It is also the first step in our small firm's journey of 'downgrading and upgrading'. Before this, my goal was just to try my best. But, now, our main mission must be to win."

"..."

"How are you? Do you feel stressed?"

"If you say it doesn't exist...it must be a lie."

Higuchi Enka, who had been silent since the beginning, said:

"After all, before this, I was just a person who had no interest in idols, no ambitions or dreams... but now I am suddenly asked to aim at such a national competition. To be honest, I am not in a good mood for the time being. I can keep up.”

"I'm sorry for making you make such a forced decision."

Kento Watanabe showed a slightly apologetic smile.

"In the end, Tohru and I both placed our hopes on you."

"That is to say, they are really two guys who like to make things difficult for others."

Higuchi Enka complained while taking a step closer to where Kento Watanabe was.

"First he somehow matured before me, and then he quietly became a work partner. After that, he even started to have conflicts among himself... As a result, the two of you suddenly turned me on again. It’s simply too baffling to regard it as your hope.”

Although his words were full of complaints, Higuchi Enka's expression showed no hint of displeasure.

"...But who said the three of us were childhood sweethearts?"

Perhaps she was indeed content with the past

From the position behind the two of them, she once thought that she would always follow them and watch them from a distance.

However, as time goes by, as the three people continue to grow, many things have undergone subtle changes.

She still likes her two childhood sweethearts very much, and she still wants to continue this beautiful relationship.

It's just that her position... seems to be different.

"Speaking of which...you should still remember why I want to be your idol, right?"

"of course I remember."

Kento Watanabe nodded.

"In order to be able to 'revenge' Asakura, and also to cheer me up again... But now it seems that the target of our revenge should be changed to Pulchra."

"That may be true for you, but for me, that reason hasn't changed yet."

Under the unprepared expression of Kento Watanabe, Higuchi Enka directly reached out and put the cigarette case on the table into his pocket.

"Next, it's my 'down to overcome'."

After saying that, she immediately turned around and walked towards the door of the office without looking back.

When Kento Watanabe saw this, he hurriedly shouted to the back:

"Wait, wait a minute, Enka! One! At least leave one for me!"

"You've already smoked two cigarettes today, no more."

"why is it like this……"

"Of course you can wait until I leave before going to the convenience store to buy...but that depends on your consciousness."

Higuchi Enka turned around and said in her usual calm tone:

"I'll return the cigarette case to you tomorrow, bye."

"Huh...? This target of subjugation...could it be that he refers to me?"

Looking at the figure leaving gracefully, Kento Watanabe couldn't help scratching his head and thinking...

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

"Oh? It seems that the homework was completed very well."

The next day, it was still the same place. After seeing Higuchi Enka's expression, Mr. Ishibashi nodded with satisfaction.

"Watanabe-kun looks like his constipation has been cured. That's great."

"……………………"

"Ah, did I just say something indecent?"

"……………………"

"Well, forget it, since you have completed my homework well, then I should keep my promise and give you a good class... Hey, Watanabe-kun, have you put on your headphones?"

"Huh? Come again?"

After hearing this, Kento Watanabe immediately took out the earphone box with a confused look on his face.

"Are you asking me to collect firewood again?"

"I need to collect dry firewood this time."

"why is it like this……"

In this way, Kento Watanabe was ordered to put on the headphones again and went deep into the woods alone.
