He is an idol and a childhood sweetheart.

Finally, at the moment when the face lights came on and the background music stopped, Daito Yuko walked to the center of the stage with brisk and lively steps.

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

Accompanied by noisy voices, Daidon Yuko walked onto the stage.

And when the audience saw what Daito Yuko was wearing, a burst of discussion immediately broke out——

"Wow, this outfit...is definitely an idol outfit, right!?"

"He is a genuine idol!"

"What a cute kid!"

"The image is indeed very good, but I don't know how the singing skills are..."

The scene immediately became excited because of Daito Yuko's extremely standard idol delivery.

Looking at the audience engaged in heated discussions, the corners of Daidon Yuko's lips also raised a bit.

Yes, this was the effect she wanted by choosing this outfit.

Before performing, the first thing she wants to leave on all the audience is the impression of "idol".

Because Higuchi Enka's unofficial live was before her official debut, she didn't introduce herself too much.

And now, after the two have officially announced their debut, Daito Yuko will naturally not start performing without warning like Higuchi Enka -

"Everyone~~Good evening!"

With a bright and charming smile, Daidon Yuko warmly greeted the audience.

"First time we meet! I am the idol of Watanabe Agency, Daito Yuko! Although I really want to introduce myself to everyone, it is difficult to leave an impression on everyone with just words. So... instead of boring To introduce myself, I decided to use another way to let everyone remember me!"

Having said that, under everyone's surprised gaze, Daidon Yuko directly picked up the microphone:

"Then please listen to "My Idol Declaration" next!"

Chapter 24: My Idol Declaration!

(The title is taken from the HoneyWorks song of the same name. It is recommended to read this chapter with the song.)

(It is recommended to choose the Natsukawa shinai version!)

[The performances of idols on stage are also the embodiment of their way of survival. 】

This is Kento Watanabe’s understanding of idols, and it is also the words he talks about most.

Before her official debut, although Daito Yuko did not disbelieve what Kento Watanabe said, she could never understand and accept it in a true sense.

It wasn't until she officially debuted, participated in modeling work, and had her first stage performance that she finally understood the meaning of this sentence——

(My heart is beating so fast...is it because of nervousness? Or because of excitement?)

There was a gap of nearly 15 seconds before the prelude started.

Feeling the gaze of the audience and listening to the whispers echoing throughout the Livehouse, Yuko Daidon kept thinking about her past experiences in her mind.

Because of that bullying, she began to long for the perfect and gentle "Wyuyu"...and has been playing the role of "Wyuyu" since then, and this persona continues to this day.

After that, although she did receive praise and recognition from everyone, she could never be openly happy about it.

Awkward and clumsy, she could never regard the "Winter Yu" praised by everyone as herself.

It wasn't until Kento Watanabe's enlightenment that she faced up to her own efforts for the first time, and began to gradually accept everything she should have received long ago——

(Praising me for being cute or something... isn't that natural? Because I'm already very cute!)

dong dong...

(There is nothing wrong with praising me for my kindness! I am a super good person who never thinks of retaliating against others even if I am hurt by others. In addition, I take care of everyone in my daily life... It is normal to praise me for my kindness. But!)

dong dong dong...

(As for those who say I am lucky... well, before this, I would never admit my luck, but after meeting him, even I have to admit that my luck is indeed better than that of ordinary people. Much better.)

dong dong dong-

Look down the stage.

As promised before, Watanabe Kento was standing at the front of the audience, looking at her with tenderness and expectation.

Just feeling the care and trust focused on her, Yuko Daito couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

(Although I do believe what you said to me before, but to be on the safe side...in order for me to trust you [-]%, your own reaction is also the most important.)

Her hard work along the way, as well as her own charm that she has never faced squarely, how attractive it is to everyone...

Let the following song prove it!

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

【Become cute~ Sending you the best love! 】

[If possible, even if it’s just the name... could you please remember it a little bit? 】

That was a completely different voice from Daito Yuko's usual voice.

Delicate, cute, lively and energetic.

No matter who hears this sound, the word "idol" will definitely come to mind subconsciously.

It is no exaggeration to say that in just two lyrics, Daidong Yuko has already captivated all viewers.

This impression was firmly imprinted on the minds of the public.

However, what shocked Kento Watanabe the most was that in addition to this carefully fabricated voice, Daito Yuko's demeanor, aura, and dance moves that matched the singing also completely entered the "idol" state.

And this process is completed in less than 30 seconds...

"……Amazing."

Even Kento Watanabe, who has watched countless idol live shows since he was a child, has to admit that Daito Yuko has reached the level of mastery in controlling all aspects of herself.

As for where this amazing control comes from... it is naturally self-evident.

Thinking of this, Kento Watanabe couldn't help but turn his head and look at the audience around him.

Sure enough, with Yuko Daidon's extremely mature style and outstanding stage performance, everyone's attention has been completely attracted by this idol who is shining on the stage...

"I may have met another genius worthy of being compared to Tooru."

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

[The course started, although I mustered up all my energy. 】

[But whether it’s singing or dancing, I’m exhausted...]

【It will also be compared to others. 】

【But I just want to be myself! 】

The content of the lyrics seems to be talking about others, but it also seems to be talking about herself.

Next, she and Higuchi Enka will surely be compared with each other, right?

Although she doesn't want to admit it, in Daito Yuuko's view, as an idol, Higuchi Enka's unique temperament, outstanding singing skills, and foul appearance are far above her.

But even so, she still hopes to gain popularity and applause above her!

Even if she does have a unique charm, so what?

(She may be independent and strong and disdain looking at others, but I am different!)

I want to be remembered by everyone!I want to be liked by everyone!I want to be praised by everyone!

That's why I want to become "Fuyu"... become an idol!

【Use your cleverness and show your best smile! 】

[If possible, can you make me... your only "push"? 】

【Just kidding☆】

[However, it should be okay to have a little expectation... right? 】

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

Driven by Yuko Daidon, the atmosphere of the entire Livehouse was completely ignited.

Whether they are viewers who know something about idols or viewers who know nothing about idols, they have been completely attracted by Daitong Yuko's performance.

I was attracted by the cute clothes, disturbed by the cute appearance, and aroused by the cute singing.

In this not-so-spacious Livehouse, there were already applause and cheers comparable to those in a stadium.

If it were on a bigger stage...if this child could be sent to the stage of the martial arts hall.How much cheers will she receive?

Just after fantasizing about that scene for a moment, Kento Watanabe could no longer restrain his high mood——

"That's it! Fuyuko!!!"

The interlude sounded, and Kento Watanabe shouted loudly along with the surrounding audience:

"Just capture everyone's attention in one fell swoop, and then go to a bigger stage!"

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

(Ah...you really like my performance too.)

Amidst the noisy and chaotic cheers, Daito Yuko immediately caught the voice of Kento Watanabe.

Seeing his excited expression, Daito Yuko, whose physical strength had declined due to singing and dancing, suddenly felt an unknown power coming from her body.

Not only is he expected by others, he is also expected by the people he relies on...

He really didn't deceive himself.

He truly believed in her performance from the bottom of his heart, and indeed enjoyed her performance as she wished.

This unprecedented fulfillment and refreshment immediately made her feel even more cheerful!

It was great to be able to go shopping in Shibuya on that day!It’s great to be your idol!

You probably think so too, right?My producer?

[The day that turned my life upside down. 】

【The dream-like stage I have always longed for. 】

【Fashion?Popularity?I can’t catch up...]

[Excuses and unsatisfactory words came out! 】

[Am I really not suitable? 】

[There must be no other idol who is so unpopular, right? 】

[But sure enough... absolutely, absolutely, I still want to impress people! ! 】

Eh?Wait? !

The lyrics here... why are they like this! ?

When singing this section, Yuko Daito almost couldn't control the shame hidden in her singing.

I didn't pay attention when I chose this song before... These lyrics are completely talking about when she first became an idol, right?

Ah, I'm so disgusted!

You, you, you guys... must not recall what happened at that time!Did you hear that?

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

What a pity, how could Kento Watanabe not remember such an important encounter?

【I think idols...are only those charming girls

Only then can you become a very special existence. 】

[Cute, chic, sparkling... completely the opposite of Dongyu. 】

"puff……"

Kento Watanabe couldn't help but laugh when he thought of what Yuko Daito said when she handed him her business card on the street.
