Girl idols are meant to be exploited!

Hoshikawa Taku's eyes slowly swept over her defenseless sleeping posture, and the hot feeling in his heart gradually disappeared, replaced by evil amusement.

He suddenly leaned over, slowly approached Hiroi Kikuri's ear, and whispered softly: "Hey, Hiroi, if you keep pretending to be asleep, I'm really going to do something to you."

This sentence made Hiroi Kikuri's eyelashes tremble even more violently, and even her breathing frequency became a little irregular unconsciously.

But she still kept her eyes tightly closed and did not open them.

——It turns out that he is pretending.

Hoshikawa Taku couldn't help but laugh in his heart, but his face didn't show any flaws.

Since she pretended to be asleep, it meant that she tacitly agreed for me to continue, so I couldn't waste her kindness.

Hoshikawa Taku slowly raised his hand, his fingertips touching her shoulder, his hand caressing her skin with a subtle force.

Just as Hoshikawa Taku's hand slid across her skin, about to touch deep inside——

“——Haaaaa!!!”

Hiroi Kikuri suddenly opened her eyes, as if she was too frightened. Her body bounced up uncontrollably and she crashed into Hoshikawa Taku's arms.

"What? Stop pretending?"

Hoshikawa Taku looked at her with a playful expression.

Hiroi Kikuri was stunned for half a second, a suspicious blush quickly appearing on her face. Immediately, she pushed Hoshikawa Taku away, her voice filled with a hint of guilty anger: "Who is pretending?! You scared me awake!"

"You were woken up by me?"

Hoshikawa Taku looked at her with a half-smile, "But your breathing has been disordered for a long time."

"..."

Hiroi Kikuri was speechless for a moment, her eyes wandering. Then she simply hugged her head and curled up into a ball, muttering, "I, I don't care! Anyway, I'm awake, and you are not allowed to pursue the matter!"

Looking at her like this, the anger in his heart had been completely dissipated by her rogue nature, and what was left was only a little helplessness and laughter.

This guy, really...

Hoshikawa Taku shook his head and decided to let her go for the time being.

"Okay, I'll just pretend you just woke up."

Hoshikawa Taku stood up, patted his clothes, and looked down at Hiroi Kikuri, "But let's be clear, you have to pay for the beer you drank at my house. You can't refuse to pay."

"why is it like this!?"

Hiroi Kikuri was in tears.

This time, she was truly awake.

Chapter 81: Triangle Chuhua and Miss Forgotten's "First Meeting"

Taku Hoshikawa had to go to rehearsal early in the morning and was completely worried about leaving Hiroi alone in his house. After urging her to finish washing up, he directly kicked her out and sent her to find her teammates.

He went to the agency and went to the concert rehearsal with Shoko Toyokawa, who had done his makeup and changed his clothes.

Concert venues are very expensive and are rented out by the day. The stage is usually set up for rehearsal in the morning and the performance is held in the evening.

When Hoshikawa Taku arrived, the stage had already been set up and several staff members were busy making preparations.

The stage lights had not yet been turned on, and the busy footsteps of the staff echoed all around. The electronic echoes of the test speakers vibrated in the empty venue, as if the air was filled with a heart-pounding tension.

"Brother Xingchuan, you're here!"

When the director saw Taku Hoshikawa coming, he greeted him warmly.

Seeing that there were only Hoshikawa Taku and a girl, he asked curiously: "Where is Master Sakamoto? He didn't come with you?"

"Master Sakamoto and his assistant will arrive a little later."

Hoshikawa Taku explained.

Master Sakamoto also has an assistant and an agent, but his agent does not have that much power. He was hired by him to help him deal with invitations from various concerts.

Whether or not to perform depends on what Master Sakamoto himself thinks.

Taku Hoshikawa was able to connect directly with Master Sakamoto thanks to the "favor" brought by this system.

The director nodded slightly, not surprised.

Master Sakamoto's wealth and status meant that he could not arrive early to wait for rehearsal like others. Of course, this was also the result of discussions between Master Sakamoto's agent and Sumimi's agent.

It's not about being a big shot.

"Is this the newcomer next to you that you're willing to slash the price to get on stage? What should I call her?"

The director turned his gaze curiously to the girl standing next to Hoshikawa Taku.

Shoko Toyokawa wore an exquisite lace mask on her face. The black lace covered the upper half of her face like a veil, leaving only her white jaw and pink lips exposed. She exuded a sense of mystery.

"You can call her Oblivionis."

Hoshikawa Taku introduced.

Taku Hoshikawa asked Shoko Toyokawa to choose a stage name for her. Perhaps as if the world lines were converging, she chose a string of letters O as her name.

Oblivionis? That's a unique name.

The director smiled and greeted, "Well, Ms. Oblivionis, it's nice to meet you. Brother Hoshikawa did you a great favor to get you this opportunity to play with Master Sakamoto. You must cherish it."

"Ah."

Toyokawa Shoko nodded with a tense expression.

Seeing her nervousness, the director didn't talk to her much. He said to Hoshikawa Taku, "Brother Hoshikawa, come with me to the lounge. The members of Sumimi and her manager are all there. You can get acquainted for a while, and then we'll start rehearsals."

After handing over the on-site work to his assistant director, the director led the two to the lounge.

In Sumimi's lounge, a girl with long light brown hair was sitting in front of a makeup mirror, taking selfies in front of it.

Another girl with short blonde hair was sitting on the sofa, holding a mobile phone in her hand, browsing something with a smile on her lips.

As the door was pushed open, their eyes were simultaneously cast on two strangers, Taku Hoshikawa and Shoko Toyokawa.

"Hey, you two, isn't your agent here?"

The director asked with a smile.

The blonde girl raised her eyelids and said lazily, "The agent just went out for something and will be back soon."

The girl with long hair put down her phone and looked at the two of them curiously.

"Director, who are these two...?"

The director said enthusiastically: "Come, let me introduce you - this is Mr. Hoshikawa, the manager of the Hoshikawa Office. And this..."

He paused slightly, then turned his gaze to the girl in the lace mask, "She's his new recruit, Miss Oblivionis."

The long-haired girl blinked, stood up first, and a warm smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Since we're collaborating with each other, please be kind. I'm Sumimi's lead singer, Mana Junta!"

With natural affinity, she picked up a donut from the table and offered it to Toyokawa Shoko: "Nice to meet you, would you like a donut?"

Xiangzi was slightly startled, then shook his head gently: "Thank you, but no, I had already eaten when I came here."

The other girl with short golden hair was not very interested in the two strangers and just wanted to say hello casually.

However, when she raised her head and looked up and down at the girl in front of her who called herself "Oblivionis", she felt a sense of familiarity from her.

Really, so familiar...

"Hello, I'm Sumimi's guitarist and vocalist, Sanjiao Chuhua."

She looked at Xiangzi, her tone thoughtful, "Why did you go on stage wearing a mask? Are you afraid of showing your face?"

"It's not 'fear', it's style."

Xiangzi said calmly, "Just as Sumimi's style leans towards electronic pop, mine leans towards mystery and haziness. Not showing my face is my style."

Sanjiao Chuhua narrowed his eyes, a hint of a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth: "Then do you still need to wear a mask in the lounge? There are no outsiders here, so we can know your identity, right?"

Xiangzi subconsciously pursed his lips and tightened his fingertips.

Seeing this, Hoshikawa Taku smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Sorry, my artist is a little shy. She'd be nervous if someone saw her face. If you get to know each other better, she'd probably be willing to show up."

Taku Hoshikawa added Pochi's settings to Shoko.

Junda Mana was a little surprised and asked kindly, "Oh, you're a social anxiety patient, right? Then is it okay for you to go on stage? There will be thousands of audiences there, right?"

"It's okay. I'm ready."

Xiangzi said calmly, but in a very serious tone, "I will give a performance worthy of the stage."

Not only the appearance, but even the voice is so familiar.

Sanjiao Chuhua stared at her, as if to confirm something. The smile on her lips deepened a little, and finally she slowly extended her hand: "Then let's work together well on stage."

Toyokawa Shoko hesitated for a moment, but still reached out her hand and shook hands with her gently.

But Sanjiao Chuhua held her hand and would not let go, as if he was afraid that she would run away, and held it tightly.

At this moment, the door of the lounge was pushed open again.

Sumimi's agent is back.

When she saw Taku Hoshikawa, she immediately walked up to him and shook his hand with a warm smile on her face.

"Mr. Xingchuan, you're here. Thank you so much for your timely help!"

Her tone was filled with gratitude. "This concert has been trending on the internet for several days in a row, and many people in the industry are paying attention to us! Your joining us is really a big help to us!"

You should know that the price offered by Taku Hoshikawa was only 40% of the market price, and the requirement was just to let a girl play a song on the stage and make her debut with the help of the traffic of Master Sakamoto and Sumimi.

Holding the card of Master Sakamoto, he would have been a guest of honor no matter which other stage he chose, but he chose Sumimi.

This favor is enough to make them grateful.

Takuya Hoshikawa knew that he could ask for a high price. After all, the opportunity to work with Master Sakamoto is hard to come by, and any agency that wants to improve their idol will seize this opportunity.

But that's just a simple "transaction".

What Taku Hoshikawa wanted was to make them owe him a favor. No matter when, helping someone in need is more appreciated than adding icing on the cake.

Asking for a few million more or less would not make much difference to his current situation. What he wanted was the friendship of Sumimi Firm.

Looking at the agent's reaction, Taku Hoshikawa knew that he had made the right bet.

……

Ps:

In the previous article, some people have been questioning that the protagonist asked for too little money. It is true that the money was too little, but not everything can be measured by money.

Compared to the immediate small profits, favors are more important.

Just like the movie "Nezha 2", many domestic production studios lowered their bids to help produce Nezha 2.

They may have suffered losses in the early stages, but now that "Nezha 2" has reached the top of the domestic box office, director Jiaozi will definitely be grateful and give back in other aspects.

In this article as well, Sumimi would also be grateful to Taku Hoshikawa for his timely help and to achieve deeper cooperation with Hoshikawa Office.

Subsequent cooperation opportunities are much more important than these millions.

I actually don’t think there is much to explain, but since someone has questioned it, I’ll explain it.

Chapter 82: Triangle Chuhua’s suspicion.

While everyone's attention was focused on Taku Hoshikawa and his agent, Xiangzi quickly slapped away the hand that Sankaku Hatsuka was holding.

The action was quick and covert, and did not attract the attention of others.

Sanjiao Chuhua was not angry, but instead a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Because she has completely confirmed the identity of the Miss Oblivionis in front of her.

Even though the girl in front of her was wearing a mask and deliberately concealing her identity, she was still 100% sure that the girl who called herself Oblivionis was the one she had been looking for.

It's impossible to admit mistakes.

After a brief greeting, the director received news from the stage.

The director said to Hoshikawa Taku, "Brother Hoshikawa, the stage lights have been set up. Next, we need you to set up the lights. Let's go together."
