Although she didn't know what he was thinking, she seemed to understand him to some extent.

I always feel that the other person is a bit like me.

While she was still in a daze, her teammates lost interest in her and turned their attention to other people.

"Hey buddy, what's your relationship with love?"

"Nino!"

Hoshino Ai exclaimed in surprise, shocked by the teammate who suddenly appeared in her line of sight and took the initiative to talk to the protagonist. When exactly did that happen?

For some reason, she felt a surge of anxiety and was about to step forward to stop the other person.

But the B-Komachi members who were originally near her exchanged glances, their eyes meeting in unison, and together they stepped forward and hugged her.

"Ah! What are you doing?! Let me go!"

Hoshino Ai struggled desperately against the people who had held her limbs and torso, preventing her from moving. Unfortunately, one person's strength was ultimately insignificant, and she could only obediently remain trapped in place.

"Give up! Love! We won't give up until we get the answer we want today!"

"It's one thing if it's just me, but you can't cause trouble for Mr. Sakurakoji!"

"Hey~ So the other person's surname is Sakurakoji? Useful information added!"

"Go for it, Nino! Let's suppress our love!"

"Give it to me!!"

"Da-ma!!"

"..."

Ignoring the chaotic commotion behind them, one of the girls, unable to get anything out of Hoshino Ai, curiously turned her gaze to Sakurakoji Sai, trying to find out something from him.

Her skin, which didn't appear dull compared to her snow-white hair, her eyes as clear as rubies, her tall figure, and her outstanding temperament... Observing the person in front of her up close made Nino's heart skip a beat, and her face flushed.

Who can stand this? !

Turning his gaze to the girl who had suddenly struck up a conversation with him, and noticing Hoshino Ai bound hand and foot behind him, Sakurakoji Sai roughly guessed the plot and smiled knowingly.

"We're just ordinary friends."

"But you like to say you're our fan, right?"

"Yes, that's exactly what I told her at first."

"So you really are our fan? And it has nothing to do with love?"

"No, at least not now."

"Ugh, how boring. I thought there was something going on between you two."

The girl looked like she had guessed wrong, and seemed somewhat unable to accept the answer, so she continued to ask:

"So, what brings you here today?"

“I told Ms. Hoshino last time that I wanted to see my idol working on set, and she invited me to attend the ceremony today and also to offer my condolences.”

Sakurakoji calmly explained the whole story without a single flaw. Although Nino accepted his explanation, she also noticed something that bothered her.

"I see. But do you keep in touch privately?"

"It was just a coincidence. When I first met Ms. Hoshino, we exchanged contact information for some reason."

"Hey~"

Nino revealed a malicious smile; this was an unexpected bonus.

"That……"

"My name is Sakurakoji Saiki."

"What do you think, Mr. Sakurakoji? Look, our love is so cute, and he's even a little idol. Don't you have any other thoughts?"

Just as Sakurakoji was about to express his opinion, a constantly moving sound interrupted the conversation.

"Nino!"

Finally freed from her restraints, Hoshino Ai rushed over and forcefully strangled Nino's throat with both arms, her slender arms bursting with astonishing strength.

"Cough! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!"

Nino slapped her snow-white arms hard, but to no avail. After a brief struggle, she finally let her wrists fall limply.

Seeing that she had given up, a flustered Hoshino Ai looked at Sakurakoji Sai and said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sakurakoji, my friend was too excited!"

"It's okay, she didn't ask anything out of line. Rather... if you don't let go of her, it might be dangerous."

Sakurakoji's eyes twitched, and he let out a dry laugh, pointing to someone who was already a corpse.

Hoshino Ai looked in the direction he was pointing and seemed to only then notice her teammate's dilated pupils and the fact that he was about to foam at the mouth. She was immediately startled and quickly let go.

"Nino! Are you alright?!"

"Nino! Say something to answer me!"

"Oh no! Don't die!"

The other members who arrived stared blankly at the scene, never expecting it to turn out this way.

"Did love kill Nino?"

"How could this happen! It's all our fault for not controlling her!"

"Go in peace, Nino, we will carry on your legacy."

"Just find a place to bury her secretly, and then replace her with someone else. Anyway, no one will care."

"I'm not dead yet! You bastards!"

Hearing their whispers, the person who had been lying on the ground immediately straightened up, his face full of anger, and roared loudly at his unreliable teammates.

"What are you all doing? You're causing trouble for the crew, you know?"

While the group was playfully fighting, a blond-haired guy wearing sunglasses walked over, rubbing his hair and looking annoyed.

"Ah! President!"

The group of people, who had been playfully fighting, immediately separated and stood still.

As the source of the disturbance, Hoshino Ai stood embarrassed in front of Sakurakoji Saiya, her arms crossed, like a child who knew she had made a mistake.

"Love, explain what happened?"

With just a glance, the man understood who the central figure in the incident was, and said to Hoshino Ai.

At the same time, he was also a little surprised. It was not uncommon for Hoshino Ai to be at the center of an incident. He had thought that the group had quarreled again, as they had done before, which was why they rushed over. But judging from the situation, it seemed that was not the case.

“Yes, President Sato!” Hoshino Ai responded loudly.

"What a pity! My name is Saito, you damn idol! You should have memorized my name by now, right?"

Veins bulged on Saito Ichigo's forehead as he suppressed his anger and pointed out her mistake with a forced smile.

There's probably only one person in the whole world who can mispronounce their boss's name over and over again.

"Eh~ But I'm not good at remembering people's faces and names, there's nothing I can do about it, right?"

"Can you even be considered an idol?! Remember this!"

After calming down, Saito Ichigo adjusted his sunglasses and reluctantly continued the previous topic.

So, what exactly happened?

"It's nothing, it's just that a friend of mine came to watch the ceremony today, and Gao Feng and Watanabe were a little excited."

Hoshino Ai blinked her bright eyes quickly a few times, a few beads of cold sweat appearing on her forehead, but she explained without changing her expression.

"Then why don't you look at me directly!"

He then turned his attention to the other people, and after a conversation, Saito Ichigo finally understood what had happened and breathed a sigh of relief.

In short, it's good that it's not an internal dispute.

Having answered the question that concerned him most, he finally turned his attention to another central figure who had caused this storm.

Seeing him looking over, Sakurakoji waved gently, giving him a friendly expression.

"Where did this idol come from?"

Saito Ichigo was immediately stunned, and couldn't help but rub his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things.

"He's Ai-chan's friend."

Saito Ichigo looked stiffly at Hoshino Ai and received an affirmative answer.

"This is Mr. Sakurakoji, my... friend."

When she said the word "friend," Hoshino Ai felt a slight jolt in her heart. Was Sakurakoji-san a friend? She couldn't be sure; she simply used the word most appropriate for the occasion.

"is that a lie?"

That guy, whose interpersonal relationships are a complete mess and who's always alone, could he possibly have friends? Especially such a handsome guy like him?

Saito Ichigo looked at Sakurakoji Saiki again, exhaled a heavy breath, and then strode forward with an extremely solemn expression, revealing that he was about to make a major life decision.

"Hey bro, do you want to be an idol?"

"???"

Sakurakoji Takashi looked completely bewildered. "Uncle, what did you say?"

How did we suddenly get onto this topic? Are there any normal people left in the entertainment industry?

"Hey! President! Isn't that what you said when you first met me?"

"Fickle? That's what you mean by Japanese men..."

Is the president trying to poach Mr. Sakurakoji?

Witnessing this shocking scene, Hoshino Ai covered her mouth in surprise, and then loudly expressed her dissatisfaction.

However, a strange feeling also arose in my heart. If Mr. Sakurakoji agreed, we would be colleagues and would probably see each other every day.

Thinking of this, her face flushed slightly.

She wasn't prepared for this!

"Shut up for a minute!"

Saito Ichigo turned around and scolded him, then looked at Sakurakoji Saiki again and said gently:

"So, Mr. Sakurakoji, are you interested? I guarantee you with my entire life's integrity, you'll definitely become a huge star!"

"No! I'll definitely make you a huge star!"

Saito Ichigo's intuition told him that the person in front of him was definitely a potential Originium, and he absolutely could not let him go!

If you miss this opportunity, you will regret it for the rest of your life.

This feeling was just like the impulse he felt when he first met Ai Hoshino. As a veteran in the industry, the only thing he truly trusted was his intuition and judgment—that it was absolutely correct!

Even though they already have Ai Hoshino, what manager would complain about having too many talented artists on their team?

Besides, there is absolutely no conflict between male and female artists.

He stared intently at Sakurakoji Takayuki, anxiously awaiting his reply.

Judging from the fact that the other party was willing to come and see the behind-the-scenes work, it seems they weren't entirely uninterested. However, he wasn't sure exactly how interested they were.

After a brief moment of surprise, Sakurakoji regained his composure.

This wasn't the first time he'd been invited by a talent scout; Saito Ichigo wasn't the first, and probably wouldn't be the last.

Sometimes when he's walking down the street, he'll be harassed by talent scouts from small agencies he's never even heard of. Some of them are as annoying as a leech and don't understand him. He usually just ignores them.
