Chapter 306

"Besides celebrating 486's birthday, there's something else I wanted to discuss with everyone today."

"What's up?"

Kawaragi Momoka threw away the empty beer can, went back, grabbed another one, and opened it.

"Would you like to join an agency or record label?"

"Cough cough cough!!!"

She almost spat out the wine after taking her first sip, coughing incessantly on the spot, with a little pale yellow liquid splashing out of the jar.

"What, what are you saying all of a sudden?!"

"What happened?"

Anwa Subaru chimed in, asking curiously.

"Hmph~"

He puffed out his chest proudly, slipped his slippers onto the chair, and announced with gusto, "Actually, I recently opened a comprehensive entertainment company! It includes departments for bands and records. Would you like to sign with it?"

"Although it's a startup, thanks to my extensive network and financial resources, my resources are definitely on par with most companies and firms!"

"If you sign now, the terms and conditions will be incredibly generous, and you'll get the top-tier profit sharing!"

"How about that! I didn't waste my time as the Band Manager, did I?"

The remaining people in the living room stared at him blankly, and even Rupa and his companion, who had gone outside, came back after hearing the commotion.

"What happened?"

Yue~Yi*First=Release| Ebizuka Tomo noticed the strange atmosphere and asked.

Sakurakoji Talent explained it to them again, and the two of them were just as dumbfounded.

"Um, does this mean...?"

Inoseri Nina Kokoro observed her surroundings. "Can we officially sign a contract and then step into the professional field?"

"Talent, you wouldn't be... again, would you?"

Instead of the expected excitement, Kawaragi Momoka frowned and gave him a confused look.

"I already told you this is a comprehensive entertainment company, right? It's not just about bands, it also includes idols, actors, models, comics, games, and other industries. You're overthinking it."

He knew what she was worried about; she simply thought it was something specially made for them again.

While they weren't entirely wrong, they weren't entirely right either—at least, they were only one of the reasons.

"I see... that's good."

Kawaragi Momoka somewhat relieved.

While it might be nice to have someone feed you, that completely negates the pursuit of dreams. They would instantly transform from protagonists into mere accessories in a rich kid's game, which is definitely not what they want.

"SuoSuo, if you agree, I'll be your boss from now on! You'd better be polite when you talk to me, understand?"

He said with a grin.

"Eh~ This feels a little scary~"

Inoseri Nina scratched her eggshell-like face.

"I think it'll be fine if I stay like this, right?"

"Me too!"

Anwa Subaru, and Rupa were not worried at all.

"Hmph~"

Ebizuka Tomo glanced away haughtily, his face flushing.

No one raised any objections, although some felt it was too easy, but they also knew it was unlikely there would be another opportunity with such favorable conditions.

"I can't believe I signed a contract so quickly, it feels like a dream~ It seems like going professional isn't so difficult after all."

Inoseri Nina grinned smugly at her older sister and raised an eyebrow.

"Don't joke around. It's only this simple because of this Young Master. Normally, the industry is very ruthless."

Ebizuka Tomo poured her some cold water.

"If the albums and tracks produced just don't sell well, the agency and company will lose a lot of money. So after signing a contract, it's usually difficult to maintain the original vision."

"Hey--So what about after that--"

"I wouldn't force you to sacrifice your souls just to cater to the market, but the base salary will be a bit lower, okay? After all, even if we don't make money, we at least need to be able to keep the company running."

He picked up his Drinks and took another sip. "In return, we'll try to maximize our share after deducting expenses. How much you earn depends on your own abilities."

"That suits me perfectly!"

Kawaragi Momoka exchanged blows with both fists and palms, her fighting spirit blazing.

"I'm starting to find it interesting too!"

Ebizuka Tomo rarely showed a cute smile, but his brows furrowed and his eyes sharpened slightly.

"Ugh! Spasak! I really want to start drumming right now!"

Anwa Subaru struck a pose as if they were holding air drumsticks and striking them repeatedly.

Seeing that she and her friends were quite satisfied, Sakurakoji Talent smiled slightly.

He wasn't too concerned about whether he could actually cover the costs; even if he had to subsidize the entertainment business every year, he wouldn't mind.

But he said that on purpose so that they could pursue their dreams more on their own, rather than feeling like they were being taken care of, in order to put some pressure on them.

Stress isn't all bad; if used properly, it can unleash one's potential and maintain a healthy mind and appearance.

No matter when, those who dare to bloom, give, and pursue are the most beautiful and moving.

"That..."

At this moment, Inoseri Nina raised her arm anxiously, her eyes narrowing into slits, and asked worriedly, "What if the final revenue can't even cover the costs?"

"..."

X N.

Several pairs of eyes stared blankly at her, wondering how such an explosive statement could come from her small, slightly 30-degree mouth.

Inoseri Ryone rubbed her forehead, utterly exasperated by her lack of emotional intelligence. Even if she was going to say something, she could at least choose another time, little sister...

After their initial shock, the group nervously glanced at him again, searching for his answer.

"That's true, after all, a company can't operate at a loss..."

Sakurakoji Talent put on a thoughtful expression, stared at the ceiling for a while, and finally a wicked smile appeared on his lips.

"If it really comes to that, let the captain take charge."

"Eh? Me?!"

Kawaragi Momoka trembled and stiffly met his gaze.

"After all, he's the captain~ so he definitely has to take on the most responsibility for the team's development, right?"

He looked her up and down with a sly smile, a hint of ill intent in his eyes.

"If you accumulate too much debt, Captain, you'll have to pay it off properly, okay?"

"Ugh!!!"

Kawaragi Momoka suddenly felt a chill run through her body, and her legs tightened, as if she were being stared at by a wild beast.

In contrast to the chill emanating from her body, her face grew increasingly rosy.

What's wrong? Did she drink too much? She bit her pink lower lip tightly.

What do people say?

Anwa Subaru looked at the other three.

"Isn't it also good? Okay~"

"I agree!"

"Momoka-san! Please!"

"Then let's do it this way!"

Those who didn't know what was going to happen thought he was just joking and readily agreed.

"Hey! You guys!!"

Seeing her teammates betray her without hesitation, Kawaragi Momoka stared at them with desperate anger and despair.

Do these guys even realize what that guy will do to them if they really go into debt and lose money?

Just thinking about it makes her young, beautiful face flush with waves of color...

"By the way, Ms. Ryone, are you currently in university or working?"

Sakurakoji Talent suddenly blossomed, and she looked towards Inoseri Ryone.

"Eh, me?"

Seeing how easily they finalized the contract, as if entering the professional world were simpler than buying groceries, Inoseri Ryone, still reeling from the shock, asked him a question and asked him uncertainly.

"Yes, that's right."

"I just started working in my hometown of Kumamoto... Is something wrong?"

She answered somewhat hesitantly.

Chapter 338 Waking up in the morning and the conversation.

Although she didn't know him yet, there was one thing she was certain of: the incredibly handsome man in front of her was indeed exceptionally approachable.

I thought it was already outrageous enough that they casually rented a villa as their base, but I never imagined they'd start a company at such a young age, and it seems to be quite large... Are all Tokyo this scary?

"So, would you be interested in joining our company as a professional manager?"

"Huh?!"

X N.

These words surprised not only Inoseri Ryone, but also the others around her.

"Because my side is still in the early stages, we are quite short-handed. Fortunately, Ms. Ryone is an acquaintance and someone I can trust."

Sakurakoji Talent further explained to them:

"Besides, with Ms. Ryone by your side, Nina and your parents will feel much more at ease, right?"

"Well... I think we need to discuss this with my parents as well, including the matter of Nina)."

Inoseri Ryone's face twitched, looking somewhat lost.

The other person's thinking seems a bit too jumpy and straightforward.

"Alright then, Nina, you can take care of the rest yourself, okay?"

"Okay! Leave it to me!"

Inoseri Nina nodded firmly.

"Also, if you like, why don't you start learning guitar when you get back? It's cooler for a lead singer to play and sing at the same time, isn't it?"

He offered advice.

"Just like Miss Momoka before?"

Her eyes sparkled.

"Yes, just like Momoka before—but it will probably take you a long time to practice until you're good enough to perform on stage."

"Ugh..."

She shrank back, fearing the difficulties that were about to come.

"Don't worry, just ask Momoka if you have any questions, or you can ask me."

"Yes!"

Seeing that the matter had been discussed, Anwa Subaru grinned, raised their orange juice Drinks, and shouted again:
