He is an idol and a childhood sweetheart.

Kento Watanabe looked at Daito Yuko's side face and said:

"Performing your ideal self in front of others... This kind of thinking and behavior is completely normal, and you don't need to feel any guilt or disgust for it."

"…………"

Daidong Yuko didn't speak after hearing this. She just looked at the girl on the screen who was quietly reading a book in her room. She didn't speak for a long time.

Ah, maybe it's not wrong to show your ideal side to others.

But that premise... is based on the fact that her true personality is also very likable.

Changing from a likable character to another likable character may be interpreted as "interpretation of an idol."

But...if this idol's private personality is as annoying as hers, can this huge contrast be covered up with the same words?

"........."

Suddenly, she remembered the unpleasant experience she had in elementary school.

A dark emotion swept into her heart, causing her thoughts to come to a standstill again.

After all, if you want to be liked by others, you should not express any words or actions that will arouse people's disgust——

"As for this...well, he is a very special idol. He speaks freely and has no taboos. He will not shy away from giving the middle finger when taking selfies on social platforms, and he will also post about things he likes like ordinary otakus. Epilepsy...you see, it sounds completely unrelated to the word idol, but she still successfully became an idol and gained many fans."

After saying that, Kento Watanabe couldn't help but smile and shook his head:

"By the way, there was a time when I liked her very much. In the beginning, my mentality was just to see her.

What kind of work can I do next, but I have been following her for a long time, and after seeing her brave side, fragile side, and strong side, I slowly became her fan... Even though she The idol activities are really bad. "

"The next idol looks like this..."

"........."

Daito Yuko just listened to Watanabe Kento's introduction and watched the behind-the-scenes stories from the idols with him.

Idols of various styles, different lifestyles... and varying degrees of contrast.

As Kento Watanabe said, most of them look completely different behind the scenes than in front of the stage. Some people even show completely opposite personalities and states in front of and behind the scenes.

Especially the idol that Kento Watanabe just mentioned...the "Yan Shang" idol, refreshed her understanding of the word idol.

To a certain extent, the defects displayed by that child were even more exaggerated and fatal than some of the shortcomings she had always disliked.But even so, she continued to act as an idol and gained a large number of fans with special preferences.

Is this form of idol... really allowed to exist?

Why is that person able to continue his activities despite being disliked by so many people?Isn't she afraid of being hated by more people?

For a time, more questions swept through Daidon Yuko's mind.

And this accumulation of doubts also prompted her to look at Kento Watanabe with puzzled eyes——

"As expected, you have never viewed yourself in this way of thinking."

At the same time, Kento Watanabe also turned to look at Daito Yuko.

"In your opinion, 'Winter Yu' may be just a false image you created because you want to get praise and recognition from others. But to a certain extent, the essence of idol activities requires you to create a person you think and strive for it. So in my opinion, you were already half an idol before you came to Watanabe Office."

"…………"

Hearing Kento Watanabe's words, Daito Yuko's heart suddenly began to shake violently.

Although she wanted to refute Kento Watanabe, the idol bonuses they just saw together made her unable to refute him.

Those idols do show completely different faces and images in front of and behind the scenes. This is an undoubted fact.

Not only that, there are even some kind of strange idols who are hated by a large group of people, but still insist on carrying out activities.

"So...even if my personality is completely opposite to that of 'Fuyu', it doesn't matter..."

"Didn't you just see that? There are many idols of this type... No, it's not just idols. In this society, most people survive in this way. After all, not everyone has it. Being able to always carry out one’s own strength and confidence.”

When Kento Watanabe said this, the first thing he thought of was Toru Asakura and Enka Higuchi.

To a certain extent, both of these people are rarely influenced by others.Without the close connection brought by the relationship of 'childhood sweethearts', perhaps he would not be able to control these two girls with great personalities, sensibilities and ideas.

But... people like this are still a minority.

People like Daito Yuko, who play multiple roles in life, are the majority in reality.

"It's not wrong to want to be liked and praised by others, and it's normal to work hard for it. The problem is... you have to face up to your own efforts and stop treating 'Winter Yu' as a lie. You regard it as part of Daito Yuko. After all, you also sincerely believe that 'Douyu' is your ideal, don't you?"

"…………"

As Kento Watanabe said.

The reason why she plays "Winter Yu" in front of others is not only to gain everyone's approval, but also because she longs for the existence of people like "Wyu Yu".

Because of this, when playing the role of Dongyu... she may feel tired, but she will never feel bored.

Because what she plays is exactly her own ideal.

In other words... what she has been doing is not just cheating, but also... chasing her own ideals?

In this case, wouldn't she always be...living as an "idol"?

……Eh?real or fake?

Can it really be explained this way?

Can I really look at my "disguise" in such a positive way?

Daidon Yuko suddenly felt that a brand new door was opening to her.

"Look, if you change the way of explanation, won't everything be different?"

Looking at Yuko Daito's expression that looked like she was just waking up from a dream, Kento Watanabe couldn't help but smile and said:

"I know that you may have been hated by some people in the past because of the so-called 'pretending to be good'. But this is inevitable. Even if you become a perfect saint, there will definitely be troubles in this world. People who like you...and in contrast, there will definitely be people who like you."

"..."

"Different experiences, different personalities, and even different time periods will change a person's preferences. So, don't try to determine a person's preferences based on a certain experience.

Justice for everyone, let alone draw some extreme conclusions about yourself because of this. "

Kento Watanabe said to Daito Yuko seriously:

"Even if you really don't become an idol in the future, I hope Miss Yuko Daito can understand this... You are obviously so young and cute, so you should live more confidently."

"..."

Daidong Yuko couldn't help but pursed her lips after hearing this.

"Can my 'disguise' and 'contradiction' really be explained in such a cunning way?"

"If you say that, then most idols in this world are quite cunning."

"Even a girl like me who is overbearing and willful...can I still be liked by everyone?"

"Contrast cuteness is actually quite popular in this era."

"...even if I am an otaku who secretly likes anime about young girls...doesn't it matter?"

"To quote a childhood sweetheart of mine, 'For modern people, this level of personal preference is quite normal.'"

"Even if I am a girl who doesn't like sweets and likes spicy food, will I be accepted by everyone?"

"This has nothing to do with the topic we just talked about, right? If you can't find your shortcomings, stop forcing yourself."

Kento Watanabe said dumbfounded:

"Of course, I also know that it may not be realistic for you to change your extremely low self-evaluation in a short period of time... But as long as you can continue to act as an idol, you will definitely be able to recognize your true self... You will also understand what I mean by what I said today.”

"……………………"

Silence, confusion, confusion...hesitation.

In just half an hour, she felt as if her outlook on life had been shaken upside down.

The behind-the-scenes of the idol shown to her by Kento Watanabe made her realize that what she did might not be special.

The direction of thinking taught to her by Kento Watanabe also gave her the first impulse to recognize herself.

But...is this really okay?

"Can I really be so shameless as to regard 'Fuyu' as part of myself?"

"From the first time we met, you have always been the only one in front of me. You are the girl I recognize. I believe you will become an idol like 'Winter Yu' in the future."

Kento Watanabe looked at Daito Yuko's eyes that were constantly dodging, and said in an extremely serious tone.

"So, I make a serious request to you again...please stay here and continue to be my idol, Yuko Daidon."

“…………………………”

The heartbeat gradually began to accelerate.

Is this what the so-called "interventional training" is all about?

Listening to the almost "confession" of the man in front of her, a blush instantly appeared on Daidon Yuko's cheeks.

Even if you know that the other person's words do not contain that intention, but... people still have no way to control the feeling of heartbeat.

Of course, she also understood that the sense of exaltation she felt at the moment was not just because of the disgusting words said by the handsome guy in front of her.It was also because it was the first time that she looked at herself...and the world in such a positive way.

If...what Kento Watanabe just said is correct...

If her "disguise" all along can be understood and forgiven...

If she didn't do anything wrong from the beginning!

Then how light and happy her life will become...

"Ah... no. I still can't fully accept what you said."

Forcibly suppressing the ecstatic joy, Daidon Yuko forcibly calmed down.

"I, I'm not denying you... after all, there's nothing you can do about it! I've never looked at myself this way before. I... I really don't know if I should do this. "

Not only because of her panicked mood or disordered heartbeat, Daidon Yuko became hesitant when she spoke:

"So, in order to be able to confirm the authenticity of your words... I, I want to stay and observe for a while... to confirm whether what you said is right or wrong."

"…………Ah, that’s good."

Seeing that Yuko Daito seemed to have given up the idea of ​​"graduation" for the time being, Kento Watanabe couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Yuko Daidon, I will cherish it."

"........."

Because she did not dare to look at Kento Watanabe's face for the time being, Yuko Daito had no choice but to turn her back and forcibly changed the subject:

"Okay, okay, hurry up and get that paper ball back... It's obviously a schedule that you worked so hard to make, so it would be a pity to throw it away like this."

"It's no longer needed."

Kento Watanabe shook his head and said:

"I didn't know enough about you when I made that plan. If it were now, I would be confident that I could make a more reasonable plan for you."

Under Daifu Yuko's hesitant expression, Watanabe Kento showed her a gentle smile.

"I will send the new schedule to your email tonight, and you can go back and rest."

"……………………I see."

I feel Kento Watanabe’s love for me

After receiving his attention, Daidong Yuko's mood suddenly became a little higher.

How annoying... This was the first time she felt that she was such an easy woman to deal with.

"...Then, see you tomorrow?"

"Well, see you tomorrow."

"…………"

After saying hello, in order to appear more chic, Daidon Yuko immediately took steps towards the door of the office.
