Tokyo Agent: Starting with Picking Up a Problem Girl

Chapter 62 Stand alone

"Nakajima!"

"Asuka, I'm sorry, I couldn't protect you..."

"What useless nonsense are you spouting at a time like this!"

Is there anything I can do to help you? Or is there really no hope?

"Whatever it is, give me a clear answer!"

Asuka pounded on the bulletproof glass, her target clear.

She didn't want to hear any nonsense about "not protecting you well".

All I want to know now is whether I and Hiroshi Nakajima have any chance to continue our relationship.

Whether it's being a trainee, aspiring to be an artist, or even some other ridiculous disclosure, none of it matters.

Hiroshi Nakajima, even if it's just...

"Yes, Asuka, I need your help."

"And everyone else..."

Mizuki Onodera, Misaki Tachibana, Shigeru Yoshioka, and that alcoholic, resentful woman, Yukino Watanabe, also unexpectedly came here.

Of course, it was Tachibana Misaki who called it.

She wasn't optimistic about Nakajima Hiroshi, feeling that he was probably doomed.

Right now, I'm just a half-friend, going along with his foolish antics to some extent.

We probably won't see each other again, so at least let Yukino come over to say goodbye.

"Right now, there's something very important..."

Time is limited, so let's get straight to the point.

"Disclosure item?"

Everyone frowned after hearing Nakajima Hiroshi's request.

Bringing up this now is indeed very inappropriate.

Both the issue of illegal residency and the domestic violence issue in Asuka Red are clearly more pressing.

"Nakajima..."

Asuka bit her lip: "It's okay if I don't become an entertainer anymore. We shouldn't get involved in that kind of thing right now..."

"No."

Hiroshi Nakajima shook his head: "It sounds absurd, but it's the only way that can help me."

He conveyed as clearly as possible his goals.

"To organize a successful debut program for Asuka Hana and to ensure the best possible presentation for her."

"at present……"

Just as Tachibana Misaki was about to speak, Mizuki spoke first and took the opportunity to speak.

"Hiroshi Nakajima".

She stared intently out the window.

"Tell me the truth, is it...?"

What Mizuki wants to ask is, have you partnered with any companies that require Asuka to complete certain actions or tasks in order to gain their support?

This is quite common in the entertainment industry.

These companies or conglomerates are often not simply in it for the money; they treat artists as playthings to be cultivated.

Even at this point, Nakajima Hiroshi is still struggling with the purpose of disclosure, which shows that this matter is indeed extremely crucial.

She didn't believe it was for Asuka's dream.

This speculation is quite plausible. As long as Asuka successfully debuts, he will receive support from the conglomerate, thus resolving the problem.

But if that's the case, then Nakajima Hiroshi is a bastard who betrayed the candidates!

Can……

Onodera Mizuki was only halfway through her sentence when she looked at Asuka, who was still deeply moved, and ultimately couldn't bring herself to shatter her illusion.

She abruptly stopped talking and glared fiercely at Nakajima Hiroshi.

"Fine, give me an explanation later!"

"Yes."

"I will explain everything later."

Not will.

Hiroshi Nakajima probably guessed that she had misunderstood something.

For now, it's enough that they're willing to cooperate. Even if they face suspicion or questioning later, that's a matter for the future.

Shigeru Yoshioka's expression also became quite stiff.

Clearly, his guess was very close to Mizuki's.

"Nakajima Hiroshi, you told me, right? You would never give up on Asuka."

"Yes."

Nakajima Hiroshi answered with great seriousness.

"If you break this promise, I will not hesitate to take it from you. Remember that..."

"He won't."

Asuka suddenly spoke, firmly interrupting Shigeru Yoshioka.

"Mr. Shigeru Yoshioka, I believe in Hiroshi Nakajima. He won't abandon me."

Although it was unclear why Hiro Nakajima was suddenly being questioned, the boy still stood up decisively to defend his manager.

No, it's not just agents.

To hell with all those ridiculous concepts like "artist," "trainee," and "manager"!

Asuka is now absolutely certain that what he is defending is Nakajima Hiroshi as a person, not those superficial identities and relationships.

Now, Hiroshi Nakajima needs her to complete the disclosure.

Therefore, she needs to facilitate and do this well.

"Tomorrow's Flower Honoka: Obedience score 20/20"

Although the prompt appeared somewhat abruptly...

But for Hiroshi Nakajima, it was an invaluable source of warmth.

This child can be trusted.

He was quite certain of it, and it had absolutely nothing to do with obedience.

This troubled girl is finally beginning to show signs of being able to stand on her own.

"I will give everyone an explanation afterward. For now, please trust me."

Nakajima Hiroshi made the request again.

Misaki Tachibana was clearly aware of the industry's dark side, and seeing Mizuki and Shigeru Yoshioka's reactions, she had some guesses in her mind.

But she didn't care.

What does it matter to Hiro Nakajima whether or not she sells her artists?

If he has company support, that's a good thing; it's a boost, at least.

This actually put Misaki Tachibana at ease.

She raised her voice to organize the discussion.

"Let's put dealing with this guy aside for now. Since we're all here, we're probably just here to do something stupid..."

"For now, let's just trust him and let the results speak for themselves!"

Asuka also stood up, faced everyone, and bowed in request.

"Please, everyone!"

She is Asuka Honoka, a candidate at Nakajima's office.

At this moment, you should stand with your agent.

Despite her low profile, Watanabe Yukino was the first to respond to Tachibana Misaki's organization.

And this little Asuka's request.

"If there's anything I can do to help, I'll do my best."

Let's be foolish one more time with the young people.

Sigh, Nakajima Hiroshi, he's never short of women.

Really.

Mizuki Onodera and Shigeru Yoshioka exchanged a glance.

The latter's eyes were somewhat evasive.

But soon they nodded to each other.

"Why."

Then, let's be foolish one more time...

Next, the group tactfully left, leaving Asuka to have her time.

They are all quite mature people and do not harbor too many unrealistic fantasies. They are not optimistic about Nakajima Hiroshi's future.

Cooperation based on friendship is one thing, rational thinking is another.

Right now, let's leave our time to the person who is most suitable for it.

"Asuka, does your wound still hurt?"

"Yes."

"But it won't affect the performance."

"Although I don't understand the reason, I will do my best to fulfill the purpose of disclosure."

Asuka's tone was quite firm.

"I'm sorry, I failed to protect you."

I finally said the apology that I'd been meaning to say.

"No, Nakajima."

"I've never told you about the situation at home. It's an unforeseen problem, and you shouldn't be upset about it."

"Besides..."

Asuka's voice softened.

Sometimes I think, you always seem to want to do everything to the best of your ability.

"Improve a little here, optimize a little there, take all the blame for every problem, wishing they could become an all-knowing and all-powerful god."

"but……"

"The omnipotent god is too far removed from me; He should only exist in mythology."

"Nakajima Hiroshi, those who can walk together should really be ordinary people like us."

This child is just as he said before.

Only listen to what she approves of.
