He is an idol and a childhood sweetheart.

Daidon Yuko on the other side also realized this.

Even if she truly believed from the bottom of her heart that Higuchi Enka would be able to pass the initial review, after all, she was not the one who had to participate in the review, so naturally she could not empathize with Higuchi Enka's pressure...

To a certain extent, her irresponsible guess just now seemed to be no different from those girls in the class who talked nonsense about her without understanding.

"When did I become so rough?"

In the past, she would never have made such a mistake with such low emotional intelligence. It must be because too many good things happened recently, which slightly affected her judgment.

Even if she has achieved some small results recently, it doesn't mean that she can get carried away!

"I'll go apologize to her later."

Daidon Yuko said.

And Ken Watanabe listens

But he shook his head and stood up directly.

"No need to apologize. Although there will still be more or less pressure, Enxiang won't be angry because of this matter... I just go and have a little chat with her."

"…………That's fine."

After all, the two of them were childhood sweethearts, and it would definitely be more effective to ask Kento Watanabe, who knew each other better, to persuade them.

As for whether there will be any unexpected plots... Judging from Higuchi's Buddhist character and the producer's weird "love semiconductor" physique, there probably won't be too many plots.

"Then leave it to you."

"kindness."

Having said that, Kento Watanabe immediately followed Enka Higuchi and walked towards the practice room...

Chapter 28: Something else

Higuchi Enka walked into the practice room and was just about to put on her headphones when the sound of the door opening immediately behind her made her stop——

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

How could she, who knew Kento Watanabe's character so well, not guess the reason why he came to her door?

"I just felt a little bored sitting there, so I wanted to find something to do for myself."

"...That's it."

Similarly, Kento Watanabe, who knew Higuchi Enka very well, was naturally able to see through Higuchi Enka's lies.

But rather than directly exposing her lame excuse, Kento Watanabe wanted to take this opportunity to have a little chat with her.

"Speaking of which, it seems like we haven't been alone together much since Fuyuko joined."

Kento Watanabe said as he sat on the chair in the practice room.

"Especially since I have been focusing on her informal live the past few days... Enka, have you ever had the idea that I am slightly biased towards Yuuko Fuyu?"

"No."

Regarding this question, Higuchi Enka’s answer can be said to be without hesitation.

"At least when it comes to idol activities, you definitely don't favor any of us. Both I and Fuyuko can feel this."

"That's good."

After hearing this, Kento Watanabe breathed a sigh of relief.

"Because you two have very different ways of thinking and acting, so I have been looking for the most suitable way to get along with you... Because you have always trusted me, Enxiang, so my attitude towards you may not be the same. I will be as careful as I am with Fuyuko, and coupled with our relationship... During this time, I have indeed put a little more energy into Fuyuko than you."

"Well, I can understand."

Higuchi Enka put the headphones back on the table and continued to answer expressionlessly::

"Fuyuuko herself is the type who needs others to pay attention to her at all times. Coupled with the knots she left behind in her early years, it is natural that you will care more about her. As for me, you just need to tell me what you need me to do. That’s good.”

"Is it just a unilateral order...that's not acceptable."

After hearing Enka Higuchi's considerate answer, Kento Watanabe shook his head.

"Producers and idols need to be on the same page, not to mention that the relationship between you and me is not a simple working partnership."

"…………"

After hearing these words, Higuchi Enka's heart skipped a beat subconsciously.

But when her reason returned to consciousness again, she immediately guessed what Kento Watanabe was going to say next——

"Yes, after all, the two of us are still childhood sweethearts."

"That's it."

Kento Watanabe nodded.

"Even if we put aside the relationship between the producer and the idol, we are still childhood sweethearts...and we are still as close as family members. So...in addition to idol activities, I also care about your mood and thoughts, There are also feelings... So, if I fail to satisfy you in any way, you must tell me. I don't want you to be wronged in the slightest because of me."

"........."

Looking at the serious expression on Kento Watanabe's face, Higuchi Enka could be said to feel a protective desire that was almost stubborn.

Ahh, really...

"So...you are really worried too much..."

Higuchi Enka sighed.

"Although I know that you have always been overprotective of me and Asakura... but you seem to be more protective of me than Asakura. There is something about me that makes you feel that I am 'vulnerable' Is it done?"

"...Rather than saying that he is fragile, it is better to say that he likes to get into trouble."

Kento Watanabe said:

"You are a girl with a very delicate mind and a very complicated way of thinking, but you are really not good at expressing yourself. Whether you finally get the result successfully or you still fail to get the answer, you will never express what is in your heart. I want to share it with anyone. Even Tohru and I can't... Although I know this is due to your personality, I am still a little worried."

"Perhaps it is."

Facing Kento Watanabe, Higuchi Enka didn't want to deny anything harshly, not to mention that she was indeed not good at expressing her thoughts as Kento Watanabe said.

"But at least now, I don't have anything too serious on my mind. And even if I do... I will discuss it with you in order to ensure that it does not affect the activities."

"Even if that thing is related to me

Closed? "

"…………kindness."

"...I hesitated."

Kento Watanabe very keenly captured the two seconds of blank space before Enka gave a response.

"You really are worried, right? Although it may not be serious."

"Ugh……"

Seeing Kento Watanabe's persistent questioning, Higuchi Enka suddenly showed a rather helpless expression.

"I'm telling you, can't you just think of it as giving the girl a little private space? It's quite annoying to ask for details like this, Mr. is so persistent."

"…………"

"Oh, it's really annoying."

Kento Watanabe's silent gaze immediately made Higuchi Enka understand what he meant.

Sure enough, in front of this guy, even the slightest abnormal behavior would never escape his eyes.

And as long as he finds any abnormality, he will immediately intervene and try to solve it.

"It is true that I have some concerns, but it is really quite trivial. Even if I don't say it out, it will definitely not affect my physical and mental health."

"But I still want to hear it."

"I don't want to say it, let alone in front of the culprit of this worry."

"Did I really do something wrong?"

"No, you haven't made any mistakes during this time."

"Then...what aspects have I not done well enough?"

"That's not the case... Why do you guys always look for excuses in yourself? Can't it be that I am dissatisfied because of my willfulness... Ah?"

"……kindness?"

With almost no effort, Kento Watanabe found the correct answer from Enka Higuchi's answer.

"That is to say... Enka hopes that I can do something for you, right?"

"If I had known this, I might as well have stayed in the office..."

Having had her thoughts revealed, Enka Higuchi slumped down like a deflated rubber ball. Then she looked at Kento Watanabe and said in a feeble voice:

"It seems that if you don't ask for the truth today, you will definitely not give up, right?"

"kindness."

"You are so merciless. You have never been so tough on others, right? Why are you so persistent with me?"

"Because I care about you."

Watanabe Kento looked into Higuchi Enka's eyes and said:

"For someone like you who always closes his heart, I will never be able to get into your heart unless you do this. Even if I stalk you or get bored by you, I have to make sure that you My mental and physical state will not be affected by my worries, so——"

"Oh, okay, okay, I said it's not okay?"

Seeing that he had no way out, Higuchi Enka directly interrupted Watanabe Kento's words, and said as if he was giving up on himself:

"Are you free this weekend?"

"Have."

"Okay, then this weekend, I hope you won't go anywhere and just stay in the office."

Higuchi Enka said:

"As for what happens after that...you will know when the time comes."

"Oh……"

Do you stay at the office on weekends?

Although he didn't know what Higuchi Enka wanted him to do, he still did as she said.

In this way, Kento Watanabe made a very important new reservation on the weekend when he originally had no work schedule.

Chapter 29: Higuchi Enka’s thoughts

The alarm clock rang.

Kento Watanabe sat up very quickly as usual, took the phone, and swiped upward according to the mechanical movements carved into his body...

……

"...eight o'clock?"

After seeing the numbers on the screen of his mobile phone, Kento Watanabe suddenly woke up from the hazy state he had just woken up from. Then he immediately stretched out his hand to rub his eyes and confirmed the numbers on the clock again——

"Is it really eight o'clock? How could it be?!"

Kento Watanabe can guarantee [-]% that he did not change the alarm time the night before, which means that someone must have secretly used his phone while he was sleeping, directly unlocked the lock screen, and then changed the alarm time. time.

And for those who have the ability to do this, there is only one answer!

The moment the answer appeared in Kento Watanabe's mind, the "answer" himself immediately appeared at the door of the lounge.

"Good morning."

"...Good morning, Enxiang."

Looking at his childhood sweetheart who suddenly appeared at the door, Kento Watanabe touched his hair, which was a little out of shape from sleep, and asked with a puzzled look on his face:

"Why did you change my alarm clock?"

"It's obviously a rare weekend, so getting up at seven is too early... Don't worry, I've confirmed the schedule on your phone. It doesn't look like you have any work that needs to be done early today."

"If that's the case, then I'll return this sentence to you intact... It's obviously a rare weekend, so it would be nice to sleep in a little bit."
