Chapter 40

—————Today's Second Update——————

Kawagoe Hane thought for a moment and said, "The third condition... both of your agencies must be in step with me. If there are any areas where I am not doing well, you can privately give me feedback, but in public, you must support my opinions!"

Kawagoe Hane's suggestion was somewhat excessive, not only for Okada Naoyumi but also for Ueda Ken, who frowned. They didn't understand what this young man was trying to do.

Was he being arrogant because of his favor?

The two exchanged glances. Was Kawagoe Hane really that kind of person?

"Alright, I agree!" Okada Naoyumi gritted her teeth and agreed to Kawagoe Hane's terms.

"I have no objections."

Kawagoe Hane gave them a deep look, "Thank you for your trust... I agree to sign with Hori-san..."

"Then... let's have a pleasant cooperation!"

"Let's have a pleasant cooperation!"

……………….

When Kawagoe Hane led Hori Maki to the reception room, he found that Aragaki Yui, Hoshino Mutsu, and the other three girls were chatting happily.

"What are you talking about... so happily?" As soon as Kawagoe Hane and Hori Maki entered, the atmosphere suddenly turned cold.

"Let me introduce you... I believe you know... Miss Hori Maki..." Kawagoe Hane introduced Hori Maki to Aragaki Yui and the others with a smile.

"Hello..." Only Hoshino Mutsu greeted her, while the other three girls nodded in acknowledgment.

"As for the four of them... their names are Aragaki Yui, Banri Tomochin, Hoshino Mutsu, and Shinoda Mariko... I believe with Hori-san's intelligence, you can distinguish them. I won't go into detail..." Kawagoe Hane's perfunctory attitude drew strong dissatisfaction from the girls.

"Uncle... what kind of attitude is this..." Banri Tomochin glared at Kawagoe Hane.

"Right, originally... I didn't want to call you uncle... but I really can't stand it... Uncle Kawagoe... are you really our agent?" Shinoda Mariko couldn't hold back either.

Hoshino Mutsu and Aragaki Yui, though they didn't say anything, glared at Kawagoe Hane.

Only Hori Maki tried to suppress her laughter... This agent seemed quite interesting...

According to Hori Maki's recollection, this was the last regretful thought she had.

"Mr. Kawagoe... actually, I know Yui-chan..." Hori Maki said weakly.

"That's good... it's good to know each other... you all get to know each other... I need some peace and quiet..." Kawagoe Hane walked to the sofa, crossed his legs, and took a sip of water.

"Uncle... who is 'peace and quiet'?" Banri Tomochin asked innocently.

Pfft! Kawagoe Hane couldn't swallow the water in time and sprayed it out.

"Cough... cough... say that again..." Kawagoe Hane wiped his mouth with a tissue.

Aragaki Yui, Hori Maki, Hoshino Mutsu, and Shinoda Mariko tried hard to suppress their laughter, while Banri Tomochin looked innocently confused.

"I mean, who is 'peace and quiet'? Do you miss her so much?" Banri Tomochin pouted.

"You little brat... I'll go talk to your elementary school teacher tomorrow... damn, corrupting the youth..." Kawagoe Hane looked at Banri Tomochin's innocent face.

Hoshino Mutsu pulled Banri Tomochin aside and explained a few things, and Banri Tomochin's face immediately turned bright red.

Oh no, how embarrassing...

All the girls were in their teens or early twenties. Except for Banri Tomochin, who still had a childlike personality, the others were about the same age and quickly got along.

Among the five girls, Hoshino Mutsu was the oldest, just over 20 years old, followed by Shinoda Mariko. The youngest was a girl not yet 15. In terms of performance experience or time spent in the entertainment industry, Hori Maki was the most experienced. Her personality was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and once she started talking, she wouldn't stop.

From why they joined the entertainment industry to funny stories from their acting experiences... they talked about everything. Aragaki Yui and Hoshino Mutsu were fine, but Banri Tomochin and Shinoda Mariko listened very attentively. The two girls were full of admiration and longing for the entertainment industry.

The five girls chatted very happily, but Kawagoe Hane felt a bit bitter.

Three members of AKB48... popular actress Hori Maki... and Aragaki Yui, whose charisma, acting, and ability are no less than Hori Maki's... people often say three women make a drama... now there are five women...

Most importantly, once these five people grow up... I'll be exhausted...

"Alright, everyone, quiet down... I have something to say," Kawagoe Hane clapped his hands.

The five girls immediately stopped chatting and looked at Kawagoe Hane.

"Hoshino, Tomochin, Mariko, your current task is to continue performing in AKB. The second-generation performances are about to start, so your pressure will be greater... Aragaki-san, I know your photo book is about to be released, so my suggestion is to open a Facebook account first... just to greet everyone for now... As for Hori-san, you are the busiest among them, so your Facebook account must be opened. But for now, don't open it... wait for my notification... understand?"

The five girls nodded in unison.

"Alright... the day after tomorrow, Yui-chan, open your Facebook account and post the photos from the press conference."

"I understand... Uncle..." Aragaki Yui's face showed a mischievous smile.

Kawagoe Hane helplessly touched his nose.

That day, this girl didn't seem like this... she seemed very innocent and kind, but she can also tease people...

It shouldn't be like this...

Aragaki Yui's face turned slightly red under Kawagoe Hane's gaze and she lowered her head.

"Maki-chan... send me your recent work schedule... I need to know. And... if there's anything, call or email me... understand?"

"I understand... Mr. Kawagoe..." Hori Maki's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Then... that's all for today... please take care of me in the future!"
