Girl idols are meant to be exploited!

Pochi reached out to cover Erli's mouth, but Erli dodged it with a smile.

Putting down the dish, Pochi's mother also came over.

Pochi's mother looks very similar to Pochi, with pink hair tied into a bun, giving her a mature charm. Hoshikawa Taku seemed to see what Pochi would look like ten years later.

She looked Hoshikawa Taku up and down, her eyes full of scrutiny, but with a warm smile.

"Not bad, not bad. He has a good temperament, tall and handsome! I don't know how you fell in love with Pochi?"

"Pochi is a very good person, and it's an honor for me that she chose me."

Hoshikawa Taku bowed politely to them.

"Hello, uncle and aunt, hello, Goto sister, I'm Hoshikawa Taku, I came here today to talk to you about Pochi's work--"

"Oh, don't be so polite!"

Pochi's mother clapped her hands, interrupting him.

"You've come just in time! The food is fresh out of the pot! Let's eat and chat! Pochi has never brought friends home before, and since you're here today, we must treat you well!"

Pochi's father also stood up from the sofa in the living room and walked over.

"Yeah, let's talk after dinner."

Pochi's father looks very young, and when standing next to Pochi he looks like Pochi's older brother.

"I also brought some gifts this time, please accept them."

Taku Hoshikawa handed them the toys he bought for Goto Jiri and the bags he bought for his aunt. They all smiled from ear to ear and looked at Taku Hoshikawa with more and more favor.

"Uncle, I brought you some wine. Can we have a few drinks?"

When Taku Hoshikawa was working in his previous life, he was often taken to the drinking table by his boss, where he blocked the wine for the boss and toasted the guests.

He used to scoff at it, but now he studies hard.

There is a reason why the drinking culture has been popular for thousands of years. It is indeed easier to succeed in business negotiations over the drinking table.

"Okay, I don't usually drink much, but I'll have a few drinks with you today!"

Pochi's father had no objection to Hoshikawa Taku and agreed readily.

Chapter 41: Pochi is also "sexually repressed"

The meal was prepared quickly and the atmosphere at the table was extremely warm.

Taku Hoshikawa and Pochi's father had a great conversation and toasted each other.

Pochi's mother looked at Hoshikawa Taku with a burning gaze, smiling and asking him questions indirectly.

"Hishikawa-kun, this is the first time Pochi has brought a friend home. How old are you this year?"

"I'm 24." Taku Hoshikawa answered politely.

"24!?" She showed a surprised expression for a moment and looked at Pochi's father.

"There's an 8-year age difference between you..."

She quickly calmed down, pondered for a moment, and said thoughtfully, "It's okay, actually. You just graduated from college and are still young. We are not old-fashioned. If Pochi likes it, we can accept it..."

"Hoshikawa-kun, how long have you and Pochi known each other?"

Hoshikawa Taku answered truthfully, "I've known her for two or three days. I met Pochi at the Livehouse. I was attracted by her guitar playing and thought she was a genius, so I took the liberty to come visit her."

"Only two or three days?"

Her expression suddenly turned serious, and she scolded Pochi, "Pochi, I know you've never had contact with boys like other girls your age, and you're a little sexually repressed.

But even if it's love at first sight, it takes some time to develop feelings. How can you bring someone home so early?"

"No matter how much you like someone, you still have to be reserved. If you're too proactive, you'll be considered an 'easy girl' and others won't cherish you..."

Listening to Pochi's mother's chatter, Hoshikawa Taku gradually realized that something was wrong.

This doesn't seem like the right way to treat a scout who wants to sign his daughter, right?

It's more like... treating your daughter's boyfriend?

Hoshikawa Taku glanced at Pochi.

Pochi had also come to her senses. Her entire face was flushed red, and she lowered her head, not daring to raise it. She looked as if she wished she could crawl into the ground.

She suppressed her shame and shouted: "Dad! Mom! It's not what you think! He is mine..."

"I know, I know. It's your 'important person'!" Her mother interrupted her with an ambiguous smile.

"Although I think you and him are progressing too quickly, Pochi, but since you've already brought him home, you should have the courage to admit it."

"I think Hoshikawa-kun is not bad. Your father and I don't dislike him. There's nothing to deny."

Erli covered her mouth and laughed secretly, pulling at the corner of Boqi's clothes: "Sister, you brought him home, why don't you dare to admit it now?"

As expected, Pochi's parents think of themselves as Pochi's boyfriends, no wonder they are so enthusiastic...

Taku Hoshikawa glanced at Pochi and found that Pochi's face was completely red and he was completely unconscious. He could only make "Aba Aba" sounds and couldn't utter a complete sentence.

It seems that I still have to explain it myself.

Xingchuan Taku stood up helplessly, bowed slightly, and said seriously:

"Uncle and aunt, you misunderstood! I'm not Pochi's boyfriend, but the manager of Hoshikawa Idol Agency. I came here today to discuss signing Pochi with you."

As he spoke, he took out a gold-stamped business card from his pocket and handed it to Pochi's mother with both hands.

Pochi's mother took the business card, took a look at the words on it, and was stunned.

"The manager of the idol agency... could it be that we misunderstood?"

At this time, Pochi's brain finally rebooted, and he blushed and shouted, "What are you all thinking about? The important person I'm talking about is the scout from the idol agency who wants to sign me!"

After some hectic explanation, the misunderstanding was finally resolved.

Pochi's father's scrutinizing gaze continued, but this time he was not examining Taku Hoshikawa as a person, but the signed contract.

He looked at the contract and sighed with nostalgia:

"You're the manager of the Hoshikawa Idol Agency. I was in a band when I was young, and back then, this agency was incredibly famous.

Everyone wanted to join the firm, but only a few actually got in, and I wasn’t one of them either.”

"I never thought that my daughter would be chosen by the firm..."

Seeing that there was something going on, Hoshikawa Taku immediately asked, "Um...Uncle, are you willing to let Pochi sign a contract and become a professional musician?"

"I have always supported Boqi's music dream. As long as she wants to sign a contract, I will not stop her."

He looked at the contract and frowned, saying, "The base salary and commission are a bit low, but Boqi is just a newcomer, so it's good to have such a contract. There's nothing to blame.

However, the contract period is ten years...isn't that too long? A typical contract period is three years, right?

Hoshikawa Taku said seriously, "Because I have high hopes for Pochi. I believe she can become an outstanding musician, and her band will become a legendary band. Three years is just the beginning."

"I signed a 10-year contract with Boqi because I saw her commercial value. I believe she will still be active in the music scene 10 years from now."

These bold words did not completely impress Pochi's father.

He stared at Hoshikawa Taku and asked, "Can you guarantee that Bochi will become popular? What if she doesn't become popular and you keep her in the company with no commission and only a basic salary? Do you think she can survive?"

"Uncle, please rest assured." Hoshikawa Taku raised his hand and swore solemnly, "As long as Pochi signs with our agency, I guarantee that her future will be worry-free. In a year, her monthly salary will be at least 500,000 yen."

"Five hundred thousand yen...!"

Pochi's father's eyes widened.

This figure was far beyond the income of ordinary working-class people, and he found it difficult to digest it for a while.

Does this mean that my daughter will become the pillar of the family from now on?

Pochi's father's consideration was simple: if Pochi could get enough salary and realize his musical dream, then there was no need for him to stop him.

“…If you can guarantee what you said, then I support Bochi signing.”

He crossed his arms over his chest and then turned his gaze to his wife.

"What do you think?"

While Taku Hoshikawa and Pochi's father were discussing the contract, Pochi's mother kept staring at Taku Hoshikawa with a look of regret on her face.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on her face, she slowly said, "As a mother, I have always been worried when I see that my son Pochi is dark and depressed, and his grades are not good.

I’m worried that Pochi won’t be able to get married or find a job in the future, and will become a home security guard, staying at home all day long…”

"Music is her hobby, and it's the only thing she's willing to spend time practicing. As long as Pochi likes it, I will always support her."

She looked at Xingchuan Taku and couldn't help asking again:

"Are you really not going to consider Pochi as your girlfriend? Don't be fooled by her appearance, she actually has a great figure. If she dresses up, she can be shown around!"

"Mom, you're so worried that I won't be able to get married!" Pochi almost jumped up in embarrassment. "I want to be an idol, so I won't be dating for the next ten years!"

"Although the contract says we can't date, Mr. Hoshikawa is the first party to the contract. As long as he doesn't pursue it, you can date him even if you're an idol."

Pochi's mother said something shocking.

Hoshikawa Taku was stunned.

In theory...it seems to be true.

The girl idols who signed contracts with me can't date other people, but I'm the first party, so as long as I don't hold them responsible, they can date me...

No, now is not the time to think about that!

Hoshikawa Taku regained control of his mind, pretending he hadn't heard what Pochi's mother had just said. He asked calmly, "Auntie, from what you're saying, are you willing for Pochi to sign the contract as well?"

"Of course, as long as you are willing to be responsible for Pochi, as Pochi's mother, I am willing to entrust Pochi to you." She looked at Hoshikawa Taku with a smile, still looking at Hoshikawa Taku with the eyes of looking at her "boyfriend".

Hoshikawa Taku pretended not to see it.

He said, "Since you all have no objection, let Pochi sign the contract here."

Pochi has been waiting for this moment for a whole day!

So, under the gaze of Taku Hoshikawa, Pochi couldn't wait to sign his name on the contract.

Goto Ichiri.

Chapter 42 Urban Legend [Guitar Hero]

The moment Pochi signed his name, Takuya Hoshikawa heard a voice from the system.

Although it was the same cold mechanical sound as before, it sounded particularly pleasant to Taku Hoshikawa.
