Hugashiki Tomonobu finally decided to go and find Ban Yumi.

Ban Yumi and Kojima Sana live in the member apartment in Akihabara. After returning from the theater, the girl has been lying on the bed in a daze.

Kojima Sana called her to eat after preparing the meal, but the girl just responded casually and continued to lie there in a daze.

When Hugashiki Tomonobu entered the two girls' apartment and saw Ban Yumi's state, he immediately felt a headache.

"Teacher Hugashiki..." Kojima Sana quickly got up to greet Hugashiki Tomonobu when she saw him.

Hugashiki Tomonobu waved his hand, signaling Kojima Sana to sit down.

"Yumi... I want to talk to you."

Ban Yumi got up from the bed, her bright eyes looking at Hugashiki Tomonobu.

"Yumi, I came today to talk about something..." Hugashiki Tomonobu steeled himself to speak.

A glimmer of hope appeared in Ban Yumi's eyes.

"Cancel your contract with Mr. Kagawa."

After Hugashiki Tomonobu said this, he noticed the last glimmer of hope in Ban Yumi's eyes disappear.

Kojima Sana looked at Hugashiki Tomonobu with surprise; she couldn't believe he would say such a thing... If it were Tomoyasu Hiro, she would believe it... But the one saying this was the seemingly kind and gentle Hugashiki Tomonobu.

"I won't cancel the contract." Ban Yumi looked at Hugashiki Tomonobu stubbornly.

"Why? Your stubbornness will only delay your own progress." Hugashiki Tomonobu knew this would be the result, but he couldn't help feeling a bit angry.

"Because he is my agent... I won't do something as ungrateful as that."

Hugashiki Tomonobu felt a bit embarrassed by Ban Yumi's words; he didn't expect this 14-year-old girl to be so sharp.

"If you keep being so stubborn... you'll have to bear the consequences."

"Consequences? What consequences? At worst, I'll leave AKB..."

"Yumi..." Kojima Sana called softly, afraid the situation would get out of control.

Hugashiki Tomonobu looked at Ban Yumi helplessly, while Ban Yumi glared at him angrily.

"Ridiculous!" A voice broke the tense atmosphere.

"Uncle..." Ban Yumi's voice was full of surprise;

Kagawa Hiro, who had just entered, felt a warm feeling in his heart.

"Mr. Kagawa..." Hugashiki Tomonobu's expression was somewhat awkward.

Kagawa Hiro nodded expressionlessly, acknowledging Hugashiki Tomonobu,

"I want to talk to Yumi..."

Hugashiki Tomonobu glanced at Kagawa Hiro, then at Ban Yumi...

He had no choice but to leave the room with Kojima Sana.

"Yumi, I came today to cancel our contract." Kagawa Hiro was very direct, and Ban Yumi was caught off guard.

Tears streamed down her face, making Kagawa Hiro's heart ache.

"Uncle... you don't want me anymore... you really don't want me..." The little girl sobbed.

Kagawa Hiro gently wiped away Ban Yumi's tears.

"Yumi, listen to me... you are an idol, and you have your own dreams... If you continue to fulfill the contract with Uncle... Uncle will only hold you back... This will greatly hinder your idol career and your reputation... Do you understand?" Kagawa Hiro tried to suppress his guilt and spoke calmly.

"I don't understand... I just want Uncle to be my agent..." The little girl was already crying uncontrollably, like a child who had lost a precious treasure.

"Be a good girl... don't make Uncle angry." Kagawa Hiro wiped away Ban Yumi's tears again with his hand.

"Uncle... sniff sniff..." Ban Yumi couldn't hold back and burst into tears.

"Be a good girl... the cancellation of your contract with Uncle is only temporary. When Uncle signs with a good agency, I will sign with you again... okay?" Kagawa Hiro's words were not just to comfort a child; seeing Ban Yumi like this, he couldn't bear to let this girl become his regret.

"Really? Uncle... let's make a pinky promise..." Ban Yumi's eyes suddenly brightened.

"Okay, let's make a pinky promise!"

Hugashiki Tomonobu and Kojima Sana, who had been waiting outside, only entered when they heard Ban Yumi's emotions stabilize.

"Mr. Hugashiki... I have already canceled the contract with Yumi..." Kagawa Hiro felt a bit bitter.

"I understand... thank you, Mr. Kagawa..." Hugashiki Tomonobu still felt very awkward facing Kagawa Hiro; he had just canceled his contract with him yesterday, and now he was making him cancel the contract with his signed artist...

"There's no need to thank me... I hope Mr. Hugashiki can give me a guarantee..."

"Please say... I will do my best."

"I hope Yumi won't be treated differently in AKB because of me... If she doesn't have the ability, but if she has the potential, please use her well... don't let her be ruined..." Kagawa Hiro glanced back at Ban Yumi.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Kagawa... as long as I, Hugashiki Tomonobu, have a place in AKB, no one will harm Yumi." Hugashiki Tomonobu said solemnly.

Kagawa Hiro looked deeply at Hugashiki Tomonobu...

"I hope so!"

"Uncle, I will wait for the day you come back." Ban Yumi shouted at Kagawa Hiro.

Kagawa Hiro turned around and gently patted Ban Yumi's head.

"Work hard, Yumi! You must become a national idol..."

"Don't worry, Uncle... I will work hard."

Kagawa Hiro took a few steps and turned back to look at Ban Yumi again.

"Yumi... I will give you an English name... Tomochin."

"Thank you, Uncle... from today on, I will be called Tomochin!"

This time, Kagawa Hiro did not look back; he came like the wind and left like a cloud.

Ban Yumi silently followed Kagawa Hiro from behind until his figure disappeared in the cold wind.

Hugashiki Tomonobu also followed behind, taking one last look at the tall, lonely figure.

Will this man come back? What kind of storm will he bring next time he returns...

"Perhaps next time he will return as a king..." Hugashiki Tomonobu murmured.

He didn't realize that his unintentional words would eventually become reality.
