Tokyo Agent: Starting with Picking Up a Problem Girl

Chapter 94 Sticky Wild Weapons

Nakajima Hiroshi didn't even stop eating, as if it were the most natural thing in the world, and answered.

"I followed the normal application procedures, but I don't understand exactly how Kuroda managed to eliminate them."

In fact, Nakajima Hirokazu was mentally prepared for this problem.

Asking these questions is definitely not out of curiosity for the surveillance team.

This woman is only concerned with her own task and wouldn't have this kind of feeling at all.

Most likely, it was an order from a town councilor or Ōmaeda's secretary.

Given the unclear stance of this group, I should stick to my previous position.

Anyway, his focus is on developing the agency and dealing with Kuroda; the system is to worry about his identity.

I don't know when it will be resolved.

He glanced subconsciously at the sign at the edge of his field of vision that read "In Preparation..."

"You often look in this direction, is there a reason for that?"

Even this habitual movement was figured out by the monitoring team.

dry.

Professionals are just different.

If this person claiming to be the town councilor's secretary harbors any ill will towards me, the threat is likely far greater than that posed by Kuroda.

"I've done live streams before, so I need to pay attention to the comments section frequently; I'm used to it."

Nakajima Hiroshi made up an excuse to brush it off.

"oh……"

The monitor nodded hesitantly: "I understand."

She doesn't understand.

This woman has no interest in live streaming.

"Regarding the bribery issue, if Kuroda pursues prosecution, we will defend you."

Nakajima Hiroshi paused for a moment with his chopsticks, then nodded and said, "Thank you."

Of course, he knew perfectly well that Secretary Ōmaeda's original intention was simply to avoid trouble.

But since it might be helpful, I should still express my gratitude.

Moreover, the other party did not explicitly forbid me from continuing to use their name to bluff, which is a very good sign.

Perhaps it's also because I haven't gone too far.

After all, these situations were all imagined by Kuroda himself; he just didn't deny them outright.

If this situation were reported to the town councilor, he would definitely ask the monitoring-chan to correct it promptly every time.

But Secretary Ōmaeda had his own ideas.

He'd been working for this unambitious old man for far too long.

Although he will be retiring soon, a town councilor can still advance further if he works hard, which will more or less save money for his children and grandchildren.

So you're lying down now?

Fifty or sixty is the prime of life for striving. How will you know your potential if you don't push yourself?

stand up!

Moreover, in this day and age, more and more people are dissatisfied with this type of stability-seeking legislator.

If a town councilor is this conservative, they might not be able to hold out in the next election.

You can retire gracefully, but what about your own future?

In short, although it's a delicate matter, Ōmaeda simply cannot accept a leader who prioritizes stability above all else.

He wants to create a boss for himself and seize every opportunity to broaden his path.

If Hiroshi Nakajima has a network behind him that can secure a legal identity, it might be an opportunity.

Therefore, to a degree that was still under control, he decided to tacitly allow his subordinates to turn a blind eye and even provide some support.

After the meal, I parted ways with Noriko and returned to the store.

With the investment from Misaki Tachibana and Shigeru Yoshioka, Nakajima's office at least now has a formal storefront.

Yes, the renovations were just completed.

According to Nakajima Hiroshi's requirements, they set up a spacious reception area, a rather luxurious interview room, and a club-style reception hall.

And... a very simple training environment.

This is the corrupt state of the entertainment industry; money should be spent on the scabbard.

You have to make it look luxurious on the surface in order to keep people here.

As for the training environment during the reserve trainee stage, they actually had expectations, just like Nakajima Hiroshi had intimidated Asuka.

"The future will be better."

That's fantastic! The future will be even better!

There is a huge LED screen at the front desk, which plays three types of content intermittently.

The logo of Nakajima Office.

Rolling ranking of its artists.

And spliced ​​materials featuring newlyweds.

It's absurd, but Asuka is currently ranked sixty-seventh in Nakajima's office.

The rest of the names were all made up by Nakajima Hiroshi.

"Eh..."

"Am I this far back in the line?"

This silly child took it seriously.

Nakajima Hiro didn't explain the underlying principle; he simply patted her head.

"Yes, keep up the good work, you still have a lot of room for improvement."

Once he entered the career-oriented phase, Nakajima Hiroshi began to habitually make empty promises.

The key right now is to develop the firm. While it's nice that everyone is getting along well, it's also too fragile.

Especially after being influenced by Kuroda, he became even more eager to have his own power.

The walls are covered with a large number of promotional posters of celebrities, in various sizes, and the photos are all taken from different places and then recombined.

Accompanying a hastily made-up resume.

such as……

"My Favorite Idol Selection - Finalists!"

"Winner of the Akabane-do Izakaya Festival!"

"My solo concert 'One-Winged Girl' is now open for business, and tickets are selling out today!"

"His independently produced debut single sold out on the first day!"

"Performances are ongoing every week (37 performances in total)!"

These are all resumes that are difficult to verify.

However, when piled up, they look quite presentable, allowing job applicants to fully envision their bright future.

Hey.

That's wonderful! Everyone has a bright future ahead of them.

The only real-life Asuka wasn't on it; she was in the featured newcomer section on the electronic screen.

After all, the only notable experiences this child has right now are that one public performance and that piece of music that uses public domain copyright and is inconvenient to name.

Sticky wild weapons, um, that's the name of that song.

Real celebrities can't fabricate their experiences, because if they're exposed, the negative impact can be huge.

Besides that, there are trophies everywhere.

The titles vary, such as number one selling spring track, a collaboration thank-you note from GG, and the most popular merchandise of the month.

There was originally a Tomorrow Flower in there, but Nakajima Hiro deliberately made two trophies for her, titled "Celebrating the Great Success of the Disclosure Project".

As for why there are two...

Because when the child saw it, his eyes lit up and he insisted on taking it away.

Unfortunately, I had no choice but to order another one.

By all accounts, this is a large, thriving firm.

"Nakajima, is our team really that big?"

After touring the area, Asuka kept tugging at Nakajima Hiroshi's arm, extremely excited.

"It will get even bigger in the future."

Nakajima Hiroshi spouted encouraging nonsense, but his eyes never even glanced at the glittering posters and trophies.

Here, only Asuka is real.

She is her starting point and her future.

The girl pulled Nakajima Hiroshi along to the LED screen and took out her phone to snap several selfies.

"I want to become the number one firm in Nakajima's agency!"

Forwarded to Yukino Watanabe.

...Of course, such group photos would never be uploaded to the account; even keeping them on a work phone would be a disaster.

They deleted it very decisively.

My fingers were straining, and I felt a bit sore and annoyed.

I was the one who started it...

"Asuka, how's your character design training going?"

Nakajima Hiroshi brought up the serious matter and asked.

"If a fan asks you if you previously worked in a bar, how would you consider it and how would you answer?"

Although this topic is unpleasant, it's better to bring it up yourself than to be suddenly attacked by fans.

If you look down even when you're here tomorrow, it means you're not mentally prepared enough.

However, Asuka did not disappoint him.

"This one?"

She skipped and hopped around to stand in front of Nakajima Hiroshi.

"We've had a lot of fans asking this question lately..."

The girl frowned slightly, looking troubled.

Regarding the issue of positive fans, the first approach is correct.

Nakajima Hiroshi nodded slightly.

"Actually, I really want to respond, because I feel bad making everyone suffer along with me..."

Getting real fans to join your cause isn't a big problem.

"Before my debut, I did a lot of strange part-time jobs and went through a lot of tough times."

By downplaying established facts and attempting to deflect the nature of the issue, the approach becomes quite clear.

However, the wording could leave some hidden dangers and be easily misinterpreted, so it needs to be slightly adjusted here.

"However, Asuka feels that no matter which method is used, it can bring everyone..."

"Pfft, hahaha—!"

"No, Nakajima, this is so embarrassing, so fake!"
