Ke Xue: I was raised by them in Mihua.

He has no desire to be a celebrity, and he prefers to stay as far away from the entertainment industry as possible.

Wouldn't it be better for her to find a rich woman and live off her than to work hard herself?

Moreover, as a time traveler, does he need to become a celebrity to make money?

"Really? Xiao Luo can become a big star?"

Unlike Luo Tian's speechlessness, Ran Mouri was quite interested in this.

Looking at the little boy in her arms, she thought to herself that her little Luo was indeed very outstanding!

"Of course, but I don't know if he'd be willing..."

"I don't want to!"

Luo Tian directly rejected the female idol's suggestion, causing Yoko Okino's expression to freeze.

What a blunt rejection! Is this really a child? Shouldn't children be full of fantasies about celebrities?

Should I have suggested that he become Kamen Rider's partner?

"Miss Yoko, what do you think of me?"

Before the female idol could react, an old face feigning embarrassment forced its way into her field of vision.

When Kogoro Mouri heard that he had the chance to become a star, he immediately became interested.

He doesn't care about becoming famous; his main goal is to work with the idol he's a fan of!

"Perhaps Detective Mouri would be better suited to appearing in some mystery dramas."

Yoko Okino was a little overwhelmed by the overly familiar and hapless middle-aged man, but due to her status as a celebrity, she could only speak tactfully.

"A mystery drama? So it seems I have a lot of potential!"

"Heh, maybe..."

……

While the elderly father was having an awkward conversation with the female idol, Ran Mouri secretly leaned close to the little boy's ear.

"Xiao Luo, why don't you want to be a star?"

She was a little curious about why Luo Tian had refused so readily.

"Because I don't want to leave Sister Xiaolan."

Luo Tian didn't miss any opportunity and launched a straight attack.

The girl was stumped by the simple and direct way the boy was expressed; she stroked the boy's head, unsure how to respond.

But the sweet feeling that kept spreading in my heart was an undeniable fact.

"And I can make money!"

Seeing that his direct approach had worked, Luo Tian also timely introduced his next plan, a plan he had been planning for a long time.

As mentioned earlier, how could a time traveler possibly lack ways to make money?

Now that we have our identity information and our lives have settled down, it's time to show our true skills!

Otherwise, people might really think he's trying to live off a woman!

"make money?"

"That's right! Make money!"

Tilt his head back and rest it against the soft spot, meeting the girl's curious gaze, and Luo Tian confidently repeated himself.

"So, how are you going to make money?"

Ran Mouri knew very well that the little boy was very smart, but she couldn't imagine how a boy who was actually about the same age as her could make money with that kind of appearance.

Relying on being cute? If so, you could probably make a lot of money!

She'll be the first to tip!

"use this!"

Luo Tian held up his phone and waved the screen in front of the girl.

What's shown above is a live streaming app that's incredibly popular in Japan.

……

After the awkward small talk, the topic finally returned to the client's request.

Following the usual procedure, Kogoro Mouri asked the female idol for her contact information and address, and then, with a quick twist, managed to get her autograph.

Because it was getting late, he decided to investigate again the next day.

This was a different operation than he remembered, which surprised Luo Tian.

However, he didn't pay much attention to it. Based on his previous experiences, he knew that this was a real world and things couldn't be done exactly as the plot had described.

Yoko Okino seems to have indeed moved on from the troubles of being harassed.

Before leaving, she didn't mention a word related to the commission. Instead, she looked at Luo Tian with a reluctant expression.

"Are you really not planning to become a star with your sister? You can make a lot of money!"

She hasn't given up on her plan to get the little boy hooked.

"I don't want to! You're so annoying!"

Luo Tian shrank behind the girl, too lazy to even glance at the female idol again.

She's pretty, but she's clearly not mentally sound!

But he didn't know that Yoko Okino's expression changed instantly after she left the office.

"Mr. Yamagishi, what did you think of that child just now?"

Unlike her sweet smile in front of the camera, or her carefree demeanor at the agency, she now resembled a seasoned veteran of the entertainment industry, her expression frighteningly calm.

"He looks like a promising talent, but are you really planning to do this?"

The manager was as timid and hesitant as ever, not daring to speak loudly in front of his artist.

"Of course, besides his appearance, the most important thing is that the kid is very smart, both in terms of IQ and EQ. As long as I sign him, I can hold onto this cash cow and move behind the scenes!"

Yoko Okino has big ambitions!

From being a member of the Earth Ladies group when she debuted to becoming a popular idol singer, her ultimate goal, like most Beika people, is to become a company president!

No need to worry about what others think, no need to work so hard, and most importantly, no need to face boring cameras!

Over the years, she has saved a lot of money and accumulated some connections, which is more than enough to establish an artist management agency.

All that's missing is a signboard and a money tree!

And Luo Tian is undoubtedly the best choice.

Starting as a child star means having more time to earn more money than a regular entertainer.

The question now is how to persuade that precocious little boy.

"Let's go back first. Hopefully, we won't be bothered again today."

Being harassed by die-hard fans, or perhaps by unscrupulous paparazzi, is one of the reasons why Yoko Okino wants to move behind the scenes.

Little did she know, a wonderful gift awaited her in the apartment!

Chapter 43 Yoko Okino, known as the Little Death God of Beika

　"Detective Mori! You have to help me!"

The next morning, Yoko Okino arrived at the office again.

Unlike last night, her pretty face was filled with fear and helplessness, and her inconspicuous agent was not by her side.

"Your uncle isn't home, please leave!"

Unfortunately, the person who answered her wasn't some useless middle-aged man, but an adorable little boy.

Sitting in Kogoro Mouri's designated seat, Luo Tian watched TV while giving a perfunctory reply.

The girl goes to school, and the good-for-nothing uncle sneaks off to drink. Today, it's his turn to call the shots at this agency!

So it's best to stay away from female idols.

"Huh? Where did he go? I can't get through to him on the phone!"

Upon hearing this, a series of heart-wrenching cries erupted within the firm.

It certainly looks like something big has happened.

This piqued Luo Tian's curiosity.

According to the plot, even if someone in the family died, he should be detained by the police by now. How can he still be running around outside?

"You're not wanted by the police, are you?"

A bold guess popped into his head, and he wanted to verify it.

"Wanted? What wanted notice?"

Unsurprisingly, Yoko Okino looked completely bewildered.

When she got home last night, she received a surprising gift—a corpse had appeared out of nowhere in her bathroom!

Despite the recent harassment incidents, she had carefully checked the doors and windows before leaving the house.

Moreover, she was quite familiar with the identity of the corpse; it was a female celebrity who was a certain competitor of hers in her career, Tomoko Ikezawa.

Although her agent advised her to dispose of the body herself and pretend that nothing had happened, so as not to affect her career.

But she still insisted on calling the police!

For no other reason than that she believed the police would clear her name!

As it turned out, she overestimated the police's ability to solve cases and underestimated the ability of her incompetent colleagues to hinder her.

When the police arrived, they questioned the female idol according to procedure. The female idol, who had nothing to hide, was fine, but her manager, Eiichi Yamagishi, was vague and clearly had something to hide.

Then, he was taken away by the police!

This made Yoko Okino anxious!

One agent is nothing, we can just find another one.

But the consequences were real; she could already foresee that the headlines about the case on the news would definitely include her name.

"A Popular Idol Embroiled in a Murder Case!", "He Killed Her for Her!", "Intense Industry Competition Leads to Female Star Persecuting Colleagues!"...

Even if she has nothing to do with this matter, under the weight of public opinion, both her agency and partners will choose to reduce her exposure in order to minimize the impact of negative news.

This is undoubtedly a fatal blow to a young female idol who is at the peak of her career!

Who knows if anyone will remember her when the storm passes and she returns to the public eye?

Perhaps it was because she was facing a cute little boy that Yoko Okino inadvertently opened her heart and vented her inner pain.

From the hardships and sweat of his early days to his current careful planning, Luo Tian was tired of hearing about it.

He has absolutely no interest in any of these things!

"Alright! I'll take this commission!"

With a flick of her wrist, she slammed her hand heavily onto the desk, the loud thud finally interrupting the female idol's murmur.

Luo Tian breathed a sigh of relief; finally, it was peaceful!

However, this peace and quiet did not last long, as the female idol came to his side with tears in her eyes, her gaze filled with emotion.

"Little brother, you're so kind. But you can't help your sister. However, I'll remember your kindness!"

Yoko Okino thought that the goodwill she had cultivated yesterday had worked, making the little boy want to help her.

However, she was overthinking it.

Luo Tian had no intention of helping him; he only said those things because he was interested in the case.

If he doesn't figure out this case that has deviated from the original plot, even if a girl is holding him at night, he probably won't be able to sleep.

"How will you know if you don't try?"

As he said this, he jumped off the chair and walked over to the female idol with his short legs.
