He is an idol and a childhood sweetheart.

Page 16

Beneath the seemingly casual attitude is a clear understanding of oneself and the future.

Her unwavering faith can always be felt in her always calm expression.

"Although it doesn't look like this at all on the surface, Tohru does have an aura similar to that of a leader."

"Eh...is this a compliment?"

"of course."

"Is that so..."

Toru Asakura tilted his head in confusion.

"But I have obviously been following the wise man since I was a child. Compared to me, the wise man has more leadership qualities, right?"

"That's just because I'm older than you. Rather than leading, I prefer to assist and guide others, just like the feeling between a producer and an idol."

"Ah...yes, you haven't answered my question yet."

After the topic turned back to idols, Asakura Toru suddenly came back to his senses.

"Why do you like idols so much?"

"……………………"

On the other side, Higuchi Enka also raised his head silently, as if waiting for Kento Watanabe's answer.

When Kento Watanabe saw this, he immediately knew that he couldn't fool him this time, so he could only scratch his head and said:

"The reason...may be a little childish. Are you sure you want to listen?"

"Well, I want to listen."

Asakura Toru's flat tone carried an irresistible pressure.

And Higuchi Enka also locked her eyes tightly on Watanabe Kento.

It seems that the right thing to say is inevitable...

"Actually... it was because I failed an exam in elementary school. When I was feeling discouraged, I accidentally watched an idol program on TV, and then... watching the performances of the big sisters on it, I felt inexplicable. The ground cheered up.”

Are you attracted by their performances, or inspired by their attitudes?

At that time, Kento Watanabe himself didn’t know.

He only remembered that he felt as if he had lost his soul that night and had been staring at the TV screen quietly. It was not until his mother urged him to go to bed that he finally "awoke" from it.

"From then on, I started to become interested in idols, and then gradually developed to this situation. The so-called love at first sight is probably like this..."

"...But it's not personal."

Higuchi Enka looked at the CDs in the TV cabinet and said:

"You fell in love with an existence like an 'idol' at first sight, right?"

"That's generally true...but I still have my destiny!"

As Kento Watanabe spoke, he walked to the TV cabinet and took out one of the pictures——

"This Miss Kisaragi is my destiny! The first live show I saw at that time was also hers! Most of the posters in my room are also hers!"

Having said this, Higuchi Enka also temporarily put down the book in his hand, moved closer to Asakura Toru, and looked at the cover of the CD box with her.

"...Ah, I see this guy here often."

Looking at the idol who always appeared on Kento Watanabe's TV screen, Toru Asakura raised his eyebrows.

"I have the impression that she is a young lady who sings very well."

"Needless to say much about her appearance, her

Even my mother keeps praising her song power!Being praised by my well-informed mother is enough to prove how powerful Miss Kisaragi is! "

When talking about his favorite idol, Kento Watanabe's tone was obviously excited.

"Coupled with her calm and calm personality...ah, it couldn't be more perfect!...Uh, Higuchi, why are you so far away from me all of a sudden?"

"...If I get too close, I always feel like I will be infected with something bad."

"Where did I get the germs... Well, I know I'm a little nauseous."

Realizing that he was a little over-excited, Kento Watanabe scratched his head.

"All in all, this is the reason why I like idols."

"…………"

"What's wrong, Tohru? Is there anything strange?"

"In other words, Xianren likes this type of girl..."

"……Eh?"

"Good at singing, calm and composed... Well, I generally understand."

"Well, that's what I say, but I don't think pushing and being in love are the same thing."

Kento Watanabe said thoughtfully:

"For the idol I recommend, I will like her, respect her, and yearn for her, but... I won't want to spend my life with her. It's the kind of person who hopes she can be happy, but the person who gives her happiness doesn't have to be me. That feeling.”

"………………not understand well."

Toru Asakura chewed over and over what Kento Watanabe said for a while, but he still could not understand the meaning.

"Obviously they both 'like', so what's the difference..."

"Well... there are many types of likes."

Kento Watanabe didn't know how to explain this subtle mentality more specifically.

"What I like is the way an idol takes the initiative to show us in front of the stage. But I have no way of knowing what she is like in life behind the stage. If I only have this level of understanding, It would be a bit too hasty to assert my love for her."

After hearing this, Higuchi Enka couldn't help but ask:

"...In other words, you are worried that those idols will have a completely different image behind the stage?"

"It's not that I'm worried. This is how idols and fans should feel. The other party shows the best side of himself to the fans, and the fans only need to look at the other party's dazzling image at this time. Don't have any delusional thoughts, and don't To go too deep, this distance is the most appropriate.”

Kento Watanabe explained seriously:

“This is also an essential accomplishment for every qualified fan!”

"...Well, although I don't understand, you probably really like girls who are calm and collected."

Toru Asakura shook his head and gave up thinking about this difficult question.

"By the way... the 'calmness and calmness' you just mentioned, isn't it similar to Enka?"

"……kindness?"

Higuchi Enka was stunned on the spot after hearing this.

Kento Watanabe thought for a moment, and then he couldn't help but smile and nod:

"Indeed, Higuchi feels that way."

"That's great, Enxiang. With a little effort, you can become a sage's 'push'."

"Huh? I don't want it."

Higuchi Enka refused decisively:

"I'm just being myself. As for 'showing my best side' to others, I'm too lazy to do it."

"Although there are idols who are completely true to themselves..."

"Well? What did you say?"

"It's okay, just talking."

Sensing Higuchi Enka's unkind gaze, Watanabe Kento quickly shook his head.

"Of course personal wishes are the most important thing in this kind of thing! Well, that's it!"

The so-called forceful melon is not sweet. Since Higuchi doesn't like to show herself, then Kento Watanabe, as an outsider, is naturally not qualified to interfere with her thoughts.

In fact, what he dislikes the most is the kind of idol who suppresses himself and is just like a puppet.

Cultivate, guide, without restrictions, and allow idols to actively show their best and most dazzling side on stage. This is his ideal image of a producer.

"If I want to find an artist in the future, I will definitely look for someone who has the same goals as me!"

Kento Watanabe said firmly.

"Step by step, little by little, I will train her from an unknown newcomer to a top idol who can attract everyone's attention. This is my ideal!"

"Oh……"

After listening to Kento Watanabe’s impassioned declaration, Toru Asakura couldn’t help but applaud:

"…Sounds like a great deal."

Higuchi Enka couldn't help but curled her lips and said:

"In short...this guy can't live without his 'idol' in his life."

"Haha, it would be great if that were the case."

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

If that were the case... that would be great.

"……Well."

The sound of the alarm clock woke up Kento Watanabe from his dream. He glanced at the time and the note "WING Initial Selection" on the alarm clock. Kento Watanabe immediately dismissed his sleepiness and sat up.

"Well...it's time to get up.

Kento Watanabe woke up from his dream and faced his final determination and struggle.

Chapter 19: The natural death struggle

Business card, OK.

Dress code, OK.

Grooming, OK.

Rhetoric...

……

"This... I'm afraid it won't be OK."

Looking back at his empty office, Watanabe Kento could only whisper with melancholy:

"Forget it, let it be fate."

After all, no matter what I say... there is no way out, right?
