Chapter 29

——————Today's third update, this is the first one——————

Tomomi Itano propped her chin in her hand, looking up at the sky with a speechless expression, which made the other girls giggle secretly.

"What are you so smug about, little girl?" Maaya Oshima scolded with a smile.

"Exactly..." Shizuka Watanabe, who usually loved to bicker with Maaya Oshima, rarely supported her this time.

Ding ling... Ding ling...

"Ai... Tomochin... Can you change your ringtone? This one is really outdated?" Even Natsuna Hara couldn't help but criticize this time.

"I've told you before... but this guy just won't listen... sigh... let's see if Mr. Kagawa has any ideas," Yuna Koshiba said while changing her clothes and complaining.

Tomomi Itano glared fiercely at Natsuna Hara, and when she saw the name on her phone, her whole face lit up. "Uncle... are you feeling better?"

"I'm better... how have the recent performances been?" Kagawa Hane knew that Tomomi Itano must have AKB48 members around her, so he didn't say too many caring words.

"Pretty good... Uncle... do you think I can re-sign with you?" Despite talking on the phone, Tomomi Itano's expression was very nervous.

"Of course, as long as you don't mind..." Kagawa Hane didn't disappoint Tomomi Itano's expectations.

"Yay!! That's great... Uncle... when can I come see you?!" Tomomi Itano was very excited.

At this moment, Mami Hoshino cleared her throat. Tomomi Itano glanced at Mami Hoshino, her eyes conveying a message: "Got it."

"Then, senpai... I have two partners who want to sign with you. What do you think? I've already agreed for them." Tomomi Itano acted first and asked for permission later.

"Huh?! Say that again... let me steady myself..." Knowing that Kagawa Hane was joking, Tomomi Itano laughed heartily.

The other girls kept glancing at their partners, wondering who had moved so quickly.

Tomomi Itano repeated herself, and Kagawa Hane on the other end of the phone fell silent.

The three girls in the dressing room were very anxious.

"Let's do it this way... bring your two partners over... we'll talk in person," Kagawa Hane's voice finally came through the phone after a long pause.

"Thank you, Uncle!" Tomomi Itano put down the phone and winked at Mami Hoshino and Mariko Shinoda.

The other girls finally realized who the two partners Tomomi Itano was talking about were...

Mami Hoshino and Mariko Shinoda!

"Are you really sure about this?" Maaya Oshima looked at Mami Hoshino and Mariko Shinoda with surprise.

"Yes... we believe in Mr. Kagawa's abilities... to stand out in AKB, besides the resources from the management, we also need a good agent... so we decided to take this step," Mami Hoshino shared her thoughts seriously with her partners.

The girls looked at Mami Hoshino and Mariko Shinoda with complex expressions. Many of them had thought about signing with Kagawa Hane but didn't act... the main reason was that they couldn't afford to take the risk. If they made a wrong choice, their idol careers might end, and their journey to pursue their dreams would come to a sudden halt.

"Good luck... I wish you success," Ayumi Orie sent her blessings to her partners.

"Good luck," Atsuko Maeda made a cheering gesture at the two.

"Hey... why are you guys making it sound like we're going to war?" Yuna Koshiba interjected with a sarcastic tone.

"Although Yuna is usually a pain... this time she's right," Nana Takahashi laughed.

But this comment only made Yuna Koshiba very unhappy. Despite her innocent and sunny appearance on stage, this girl's mouth was sharper than anyone else's.

Nana Takahashi's words provoked various counterattacks from Yuna Koshiba, and due to Nana Takahashi's lack of verbal skills, she was quickly defeated.

The others didn't stop the two from bickering...

"Alright, we're leaving... bye..." Tomomi Itano, Mami Hoshino, and Mariko Shinoda, after changing their clothes, were ready to leave.

"Bye..."

After the three girls left, the other girls all focused their attention on Yuna Koshiba.

"Why are you all looking at me like that?" Yuna Koshiba felt uneasy under the gazes of the other girls.

"You four... it seems you've made a detailed plan for your future these past few days," Maaya Oshima looked at Yuna Koshiba with a mischievous smile.

"It's nothing much... just enjoying the flowers, listening to music... visiting patients' families," Yuna Koshiba said nonchalantly.

"Oh, you even got close to Mr. Kagawa? Tell us, how is he?" Shizuka Watanabe looked like a fan.

"Very handsome... very gentle... very elegant! Most importantly, very talented!" Yuna Koshiba used four "very" words in a row.

"How talented? Are you secretly in love with him?" Hitomi Komaya teased.

"How could that be? We've visited Mr. Kagawa four times... each time we come back, we have something to gain. For example, the first time he analyzed a member of the second generation, and the following times he analyzed AKB48 and our personal development prospects," Yuna Koshiba stretched lazily.

The girls were immediately intrigued.

"Who did he analyze from the second generation?" Maaya Oshima asked eagerly.

"Ah... I've been busy all day... my legs are a bit sore..."

"Grandma... let me massage them for you," Maaya Oshima immediately grabbed a stool and sat next to Yuna Koshiba.

"My back is a bit sore too..."

Nanami Miyashita immediately made a gesture to massage her back.

"The cup is empty..."

Nana Takahashi immediately smiled and poured a cup of hot water, respectfully handing it to Yuna Koshiba.

Ayumi Orie watched Yuna Koshiba tease everyone with amusement... but she was also curious about Kagawa Hane's views on AKB48.
