Tokyo Soft Rice King.

Saotome Fuyumi is an agent of the gods, but she is also the head of Shiki Agency. She manages to maintain her position in the chaotic entertainment industry by juggling both roles.

All I can say is that experience matters.

In the end, Saotome Fuyumi successfully 'slept with both men and women'.

Let's keep Akira Kuroba in our agency for now, and then we can slowly try to match her up with Akiko.

As for Shion Murasaki, in order to prevent a falling out with Akira Kuroba, Fuyumi Saotome will naturally protect her and provide her with resources.

As for matters of the heart... she decided not to interfere for now, and to ask Akiko what she thought later.

If she has truly fallen in love and wants to marry the younger man, then things will be more difficult. She might need to find a way to break up the young couple, Murasaki Shion and Kuroba Akira. For example, after Murasaki Shion becomes famous, she could use her career as an excuse to reduce their contact.

If Akiko Takanashi is simply driven by lust, lusting after a young man's body, or wants to get pregnant and become a real mother, then she can find a way to help them establish a secret relationship, allowing Akira Kuroba to sneak into the car of a married woman behind his girlfriend's back.

It just benefited that kid Kuroba Akira, allowing him to "take advantage of both the young and the old."

Ultimately, how things are handled depends on the Takanashi family's decision; Saotome Fuyumi doesn't care.

In conclusion, Saotome Fuyumi had already achieved her goal when Kuroba Akira proposed the deal.

However, Kuroba Akira thought they were still in a question-and-answer format, so he continued talking about his abilities.

"Okay, the deal is done. Now, do I need to explain what my real abilities are?"

Saotome Fuyumi's lips curled up slightly as she spoke with a confident smile.

"Actually, when you told me what you could see, I could already guess what your ability was. After all, as I said before, abilities are divided into two parts: 'observation' and 'carving'. Since you can see talents, your real ability should be to carve talents into people who don't have talents."

"Uh...it's not that amazing...it's just that..."

Wait, can it be engraved?

Does this mean that... replication is just an 'intermediate stage'?

It is known that Akira Kuroba can copy another person's talent by touching their written right hand with their unwritten right hand.

After copying a talent, touch another person's left hand with your right hand (which has writing on it), and the copied talent will disappear.

So what if... you use your 'right hand with words' to touch your 'right hand without words'?

Kuroba Akira had never tried this kind of operation before.

Because he never imagined that his abilities could also be used to 'empower others with talent'.

So what would happen if we did that?

Will they then transfer their talents to those who lack them?

Wouldn't that mean we could mass-produce geniuses?

Find a genius, then replicate his abilities, and then replicate those abilities for all your own people, so that everyone can acquire multiple talents!

That ability is unbeatable!

No, one thing is certain: talent cannot be copied to someone who already possesses it.

Because Kuroba Akira had tried it before, after copying the class president's talent, nothing happened when he shook Shion's hand, and Shion did not acquire the class president's talent.

Furthermore, it cannot be confirmed at this time that it is a copy, because it could also be a 'cut', which is a 'transfer of talent'.

If that's really the case, then perhaps giving everyone the 'right talent' is the correct way to use ability, and it's also the result that the god who bestowed this ability hoped to see.

"Judging from this, it seems I've even helped you grasp the true use of your abilities?"

"Yes... In the end, I was the only one who benefited from this conversation."

"It's alright, since there's no life-or-death competition between ability users anyway, so let's cooperate and achieve a win-win situation."

Both of them believed they had achieved the best possible outcome, a win-win situation.

After the conversation between the ability users ended, the two discussed the arrangements for Ziyin. After reaching a consensus, they went to call the others who were waiting outside.

As soon as Kuroba Akira opened the door, the four people who had been leaning their heads against it all collapsed down, giving him awkward smiles.

Ziyin, who was at the top, quickly stood up, pretended to cough, and said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Ahem... Don't worry, Your Majesty, we didn't hear what you were saying..."

Ziyin was indeed not lying to him, because the walls of the voice actor agency were very soundproof, and the voices of the two people in the room were not loud enough for people outside to hear, so the four people outside the door could not hear the conversation.

Caught in the middle, Future, pressing against her mother's back and lifting her large breasts with red incense sticks on her head, asked curiously.

"You've finished talking? What was the result? Did Aunt Dong agree to take Sister Ziyin in?"

At that moment, Saotome Fuyumi also came over, stood next to Kuroba Akira, put one hand on her hip and the other on his shoulder, and spoke in a friendly manner.

"Kuroba-kun and I have reached an agreement! Our Shiki Agency has decided to officially take on Ms. Shion Murasakinomiya! From now on, we are family!"

Shion was very moved, but not because she was recognized by Saotome Fuyumi, but because she knew that Kuroba Akira had made a move again.

It's always the same... From finding a way out of homelessness at the beginning, to finding a reliable agent, and now finding a suitable agency...

He truly kept his promise and supported himself in moving forward.

If no one else had been there, Shion would have loved to hug Kuroba Akira's neck and give him a passionate kiss right then and there.

Saotome Fuyumi's attitude also underwent a complete 180-degree change. Just a moment ago, she had coldly told Shion, "You are more suited to be a full-time housewife," but now she was dramatically pressing Shion's shoulders with both hands and praising her talent.

"After talking with Kuroba-kun, I have fully understood your potential, Ms. Shion! If this talent is buried, it will be a huge loss for the entire industry, no... even for this country! You will eventually grow into an entertainer who can represent the country and let the whole world know of your existence!"

Although it was an exaggeration, no one else showed any signs of being unable to stand it.

Because everyone knows that Ziyin does indeed have that level of talent.

"Let's go inside then. I'll tell you about the career path that Kuroba and I have arranged for you."

After everyone had gathered again, Saotome Fuyumi and Kuroba Akira exchanged glances and received a nod in response. Then, she began to tell Shion about her future career path.

“Ms. Ziyin… I’ll just call you Ziyin. You’ve already visited the Shiki Agency under Xue’er’s guidance, so you should know that we’re not just a voice actor agency anymore.”

"Yes, I already know."

"Then I heard from Kuroba-kun that you seemed to not want to show your face?"

Ziyin glanced at Kuroba Akira, then revealed a resolute expression.

She has decided that her future life will only shine for him.

"That was a naive idea I used to have. Now I'm open to showing my face, even as an idol...!"

Before she could finish speaking, Saotome Fuyumi interrupted her.

"No, the path of an idol is not for you."

"Hey?"

"Today's idols all take a down-to-earth approach, and the training and selection process is also part of variety shows, which means that the audience follows the idols' growth, watches them improve and finally realize their dreams... That's why people say that being an idol is a profession that sells dreams."

Saotome Fuyumi crossed her fingers and rested them on the bridge of her nose as she spoke.

"But you have absolutely no 'dreams' about you."

"Well……"

“I’m not saying you don’t have dreams, but you can’t ‘pass on dreams’ and inspire others, because whether it’s your appearance or your voice, it will only make ordinary people feel that God is very unfair, and will only focus on your innate talents while ignoring your efforts.”

"what……"

"Therefore, you need to keep a certain distance from your fans, otherwise they will be blinded by your dazzling light. Therefore, being an idol can be said to be the profession with the worst compatibility with you."

And most importantly, being an idol means "selling benefits," such as being touched by various men at handshake events, taking all sorts of suggestive swimsuit photos, and even wearing revealing outfits to sing and dance on stage.

Can Hei Yuming bear this?

I definitely couldn't stand it.

So the idol was immediately ruled out.

Moreover, idol groups are often the path chosen by amateurs who are insignificant and have no connections or background.

Not to mention underground idols, they are exhausted and penniless, and they also have to accept pillow deals for business purposes. They are basically at the bottom of the entire entertainment industry.

Anyone with good looks or a good voice, or even a little acting talent, will choose to become a voice actor or actor.

"Moreover, the time commitment required to be an idol is not something you can accept. Can you completely give up your private life and devote yourself entirely to your career?"

"……cannot."

If Ziyin is separated from Kuroba Akira for a short period of time, she can tolerate it, but if they are separated for too long, her romantic mind will wither, she will experience withdrawal symptoms, and she may go crazy.

“That’s right. So voice acting will still be your core business. But both Kuroba-kun and Akiko have mentioned to me that you have the talent to be a singer, so I will help you develop in that direction. However, considering that singing frequently will wear down your vocal cords and affect your voice acting job, I will not let you become a resident singer in order to protect your voice.”

"So, I'm going to mainly be a voice actor and secondarily a singer from now on?"

Saotome Fuyumi shook her head and said to Shion.

"No, there is a third type, which is an actor. I hope you can become a 'limited-time' artist."

"Limited-time artist?"

"That's right, it's not about frequently appearing in the public eye with a fixed image, but rather appearing in the public eye with a 'different image' that is 'cross-field' each time, and preferably becoming a hot topic every time."

This was actually also Hei Yuming's idea, that is, a pan-entertainment artist who adapted to the Internet era.

It can gain significant exposure and influence on streaming platforms.

To put it bluntly, every time something happens, it makes it to the trending topics.

Let Ziyin become a 'darling of the internet'.

"However, no matter how talented you are, your time is still limited, especially in film and television. If you 'choose the wrong role,' it will not only damage your reputation, but also waste your time."

Filming is even more dependent on scheduling than voice acting. To make a good TV series or movie, you might have to stay on set for months or even years.

The time cost here is very high.

"So you need someone to help you make the 'best choice' every time, just like when betting on horses, you can always bet on the winner..."

At this point, Saotome Fuyumi turned to look at Kuroba Akira, indicating that it was his turn to speak.

Ziyin seemed to understand something. Suppressing the overwhelming joy surging in her heart, she looked at Kuroba Akira with trembling lips.

"Ming Jun...?"

Kuroba Akira gazed at Shion with gentle eyes and smiled.

"Ziyin, have you forgotten? I'm still your producer, so I'll stay by your side from now on."
