He is an idol and a childhood sweetheart.

"When did you prepare..."

"I asked Guchon to prepare it for me in advance."

"You are too well prepared."

"After all, I have experience."

"........."

Higuchi Enka did not speak after hearing this, but quietly wiped the sweat with a towel.

She naturally knew what Kento Watanabe meant by experience.

For a long time to come, she will always walk on the same old path that Asakura Toru once walked.

And her goal is to produce results that exceed those of Asakura Toru before the time comes for Asakura Toru to leave...so that Watanabe Kento can completely regain his confidence.

and so……

"What was Asakura's first dance class like?"

"..."

Upon hearing Higuchi Enka's question, Watanabe Kento fell silent.

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"Because my goal is to surpass her, and to do that, I have to know what she was like when she was under your hands."

"Is that so..."

After hearing this, Kento Watanabe showed a slightly thoughtful expression, but then he still answered Higuchi Enka's question properly.

"She... danced happily."

"……happy?"

"Well, I'm quite happy."

Kento Watanabe began to recall the past.

"At that time, because I didn't know Guchon and didn't know many big figures in the dance circle, I could only take Asakura to participate in ordinary hip-hop classes. Of course, there were not only Asakura in the class, but also other people. There are young people...even small children, so it’s a pretty lively class.”

"I don't know whether it's because there are so many people or because she likes to dance. Asakura was very open-minded as soon as she started class. Not only did she get along with the other students, she even established a good relationship with the teacher right away...and I also obtained the teacher’s contact information after that, and then hired him to set up a separate course for Asakura.”

"…………"

Based on Higuchi Enka's understanding of Asakura Toru, while Watanabe Kento was talking about it, the scene at that time immediately appeared in her mind.

In the lively dance room, Asakura Toru and Watanabe Kento stood among the students. Then, as the music played, Asakura just stared at Watanabe while enjoying the feeling of having class with him...

Rather than saying that she was happy to dance, it would be better to say that she was happy because she could attend class with Kento Watanabe.

However...Kento Watanabe himself didn't seem to be able to see this reason, and even attributed her happiness to dancing...

"You...are really a bit unreasonable in some aspects."

"...Huh? Why do you say that all of a sudden?"

"It's nothing."

Higuchi Enka shook his head, then unscrewed the water bottle filled with warm water, turned around and said:

"Then next, I will also try to...enjoy dancing."

"........."

Compared with Asakura...?

Looking at Higuchi Enka's back, Watanabe Kento fell into deep thought inexplicably...

Chapter 3: When we look at each other

When I was with Asakura, my thoughts every day were simple and pure—that is, how to make Asakura an ideal idol.

Because Asakura herself has no goals or concept of an idol, I can only explore the most suitable training method for her, and then keep trying.And she has always just accepted my arrangements with ease, and at the same time, she has been evolving at an astonishing speed.

At that time, I naively thought that I had found the most suitable training method for her... But after seeing Asakura leave me and get a series of achievements, I realized that what I had done probably didn't count at all. What.

Now, Enka has become my idol.

Similar to Asakura, she seemed to have no idea about idols, and she also left all choices to me.

But the difference is... she has a very clear goal.

"I want to surpass Asakura..."

Kento Watanabe, who was sitting at his desk, rubbed his eyebrows and recalled the conversation at the door of the dance studio in the afternoon.

"Although it may be a bit hurtful to say this, but... there is no comparison between the two of them."

Yes, Higuchi Enka is indeed very serious and very focused during class. This can be said to be very different from the free and casual Asakura Toru.

However... the state of relaxation and enjoyment shown by Asakura Toru is also incomparable to Higuchi Enka.

If you have to choose between these two people, from Kento Watanabe's perspective, he really prefers Toru Asakura's style.

After all, he didn't want to force himself to take on his responsibilities and carry out activities under pressure.The feeling of being able to enjoy and improve at the same time as Asakura... was what he longed for.

But...this situation obviously does not happen to Enxiang.

First of all, in terms of personality, Enka is not the type of person who likes Asakura to slack off and relax. This can be seen from her performance in daily life.

Secondly, Enka's motivation for becoming an idol is also very clear and targeted... that is to respond to his hard work over the past year and a half and to achieve "revenge" against Asakura.In contrast, Asakura naturally became an idol just because he received his invitation.

The things the two carry can be said to be completely different.

Coupled with the initial review two months later that will determine the future career fate, Watanabe Kento really can't say that he hopes Enka can relax a little.

So...should we let Enxiang continue to be in this state?

Faced with this problem that Toru Asakura had never thought about before, Kento Watanabe leaned back in his chair, looked at the ceiling and exhaled a long breath.

"Let's observe for a while."

It is still only the first day, and many questions cannot be concluded yet.

Next, observe Enka's condition more carefully and adjust your plan at any time.

After all, he is just a new producer who has only trained half of the artists.

In order to be worthy of Higuchi Enka's heart, he must find the most suitable training method for Higuchi Enka.

Facing the schedule filled with dense notes on the computer screen, Kento Watanabe couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

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

"...Sure enough, there is still a gap."

Higuchi Enka said to herself while watching the video of Toru Asakura's personal live on her mobile phone:

"The degree of completion of each action is completely different from other idols... Sure enough, this is the result of a sage's education."

After all... that is an education method that even world-class dancers would praise.

Every time she recalls Mr. Guchon’s recognition of Kento Watanabe, Higuchi Enka feels inexplicably happy.

She very much hopes that more people can witness Kento Watanabe’s excellence and hard work, which was originally one of her original intentions for deciding to become an idol.

However, the more proud she is of Kento Watanabe, the more she will doubt herself.

Although on the day she decided to become an idol, she made bold words to "get revenge on Asakura" to Kento Watanabe, but after she calmed down, she immediately began to doubt whether she could do it.

After all, Asakura has been the one ahead of her since she was a child. Now, she has been nearly two years behind Asakura. Can she make up for this gap through her own efforts? Woolen cloth……

"Enka!"

Suddenly, her mother's voice outside the door interrupted her thoughts.

"what's up?"

"Toru is here."

"..."

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

"good evening."

"..."

Seeing the guy who walked into his room as if nothing was wrong, Higuchi Enka subconsciously grimaced.

"How did you come?"

"Eh? Of course I came to chat with you."

Toru Asakura tilted his head and asked in a strange tone:

"Don't I come here to see you often? Why do you still ask questions like this now?"

"That was before, don't forget, now the two of us are competitors."

Higuchi Enka pretended to be serious and said:

"Have I told you? I have become the idol of Watanabe Office."

"Well, I know."

Mentioning this matter, a smile suddenly appeared on Asakura Toru's lips.

"I'm very happy...for your choice."

"...Why are you so happy?"

It was obvious that he had just said something similar to a declaration of war, but what he got was a smile from the other party.

Higuchi Enka suddenly felt that he really couldn't keep up with Asakura Toru's rhythm and logic.

But this kind of thing has happened too many times in the past ten years, so she is not surprised.

"Now, when you came home tonight, I saw the clothes you wore today from the window."

Toru Asakura suddenly said:

"You will never wear sweatpants except for physical education class... In other words, you went to dance class today, right?"

"...You saw it."

Higuchi Enka couldn't help but feel helpless for Asakura Toru's observation skills.

Although this guy always looks calm and doesn't think about anything, she is very good at capturing and analyzing some details.

What a conflicted guy.

"Then...what did you learn today?"

Asakura Toru said, sitting directly on Higuchi Enka's bed without any ceremony.

"If the sage's habits don't change... he will definitely still teach basic rhythms, right?"

"kindness."

Higuchi Enka nodded.

"...The up-down alone took 15 minutes."

"Oh, sure enough...but don't underestimate this movement. This kind of rhythm is needed in many dance steps to make the movements more tense and rhythmic."

Toru Asakura said in a tone like a veteran:

"You must continue to learn according to the sage's plan."

"...you don't need to tell me."

Higuchi Enka said calmly:

"There's no way I can't do what you can do."

"that's fine."

A smile appeared on Toru Asakura's face again.

"Then the next step will be left to you, the sage."
