Chapter 27: Chapter 27: Okino Yoko
Itakura Misaki suddenly turned around when she heard the sound.
"Hello, it's the first time we meet, I'm Misaki Itakura."
Misaki Itakura quickly stood up and bowed to Akikawa Kyusuke.
Originally, she thought that since Akikawa Kyusuke might have been recruited by Wonderful's talent scout, it must mean there was something extraordinary about him.
However, after looking closely at Akikawa Kyusuke, she felt even more disappointed.
The Akikawa Kyusuke in front of her had the same beautiful cheeks as the person in the photo on her desk.
But since Akikawa Kyusuke's eyes were usually not very open, coupled with his somewhat gloomy voice, he gave Misaki Itakura the feeling that Akikawa Kyusuke was standing in front of her, and the overall atmosphere was quite somber.
Needless to say, the audience for male artists is naturally female.
However, someone like Akikawa Kyusuke seemed to have a very negative attitude toward the work of an artist.
But it's hard to attract people.
Of course, it cannot be denied that there is still a group of women in the world who like "dark" artists like Akikawa Kyusuke.
But Akikawa Kyusuke's audience is bound to be limited.
Becoming a popular and well-loved artist is even harder.
"Wow——! Look, look, look!!"
"It's me!! She's so beautiful!!"
Just as Itakura Misaki was about to communicate with Akikawa Kyusuke to deepen their mutual understanding, she suddenly felt the surrounding atmosphere become restless.
Hearing those excited voices, Itakura Misaki looked up.
Then her eyes, which had been somewhat dim due to disappointment, instantly lit up.
"Oh my God?! It's Miss Yoko!!!"
Itakura Misaki, and the fate where countless burning gazes gathered around her, was a young woman wearing a white top and a black cardigan, with a perfect profile that seemed to have been carved gradually with a carving knife by the most skilled craftsman in the world.
This was the most popular star in present-day Japan, the iconic artist of Wonderful: Yoko Okino.
At that moment, Okino Yoko seemed to be chatting about some interesting topic with her agent, Nakata Sae, by her side.
Misaki Itakura looked at the smile blooming like a hibiscus on Okino Yoko's delicate cheeks and couldn't help but be fascinated for a moment.
"Miss Okino. Even when she smiles casually in reality, she shines like a scene from a movie."
Itakura Misaki couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
She knew it wasn't just her.
I'm afraid everyone on this floor unconsciously held their breath for the smile that Okino Yoko showed at that moment.
This is the charm of Japan's top artist, Yoko Okino.
Even as a woman, I couldn't help but feel my heart beat faster.
"Ah, speaking of which, today happens to be the day when the newly hired artists finish their training and are assigned agents."
Known as the "chief agent," said Okino Yoko's agent, Sae Nakata, softly beside her.
"Hey, is today the day? Wow, they're all so young and energetic!"
When Yoko Okino heard her agent's words, she slowed down and looked toward the area where the new agents were working.
She then sighed joyfully.
Okino Yoko's grandmother-like comment immediately amused many people present.
After all, everyone knew that Yoko Okino was only 22 years old this year.
Even younger than many people present.
However, since Okino Yoko debuted very early, she was considered older than most people present in the Japanese entertainment industry.
Okino Yoko looked at these young artists from her own company.
Looking at their eyes full of admiration for her, her cheeks couldn't help but turn a cute light pink.
Although Okino Yoko had long been used to such looks from fans, being gazed upon with such admiration and fiery eyes by her juniors still made her feel a little warmth in her cheeks.
Just then.
The smile on Okino Yoko's face didn't last long.
When Okino Yoko's sea-blue eyes caught the crowd, after spotting a figure with brown hair, the same color as hers, holding their chin and looking at something, the smile on Okino Yoko's flawless cheeks, said to have excellent healing properties, collapsed in an instant.
Her gem-like eyes, previously half-closed, suddenly widened.
Okino Yoko, the center of attention, displayed a look of horror for a moment, which also caused the previously joyful atmosphere to freeze for a moment.
Misaki Itakura was the first to come to her senses.
She then unconsciously looked toward where Okino Yoko's eyes had fixed.
Finally, it was on Akikawa Kyusuke, who was reading his own information beside her.
Akikawa Kyusuke also noticed the change in the atmosphere.
He looked up.
Then, he saw Okino Yoko, whom he had only seen on TV and the internet, quickly leave.
Behind her, her manager, Sae Nakata, was a few seconds late and then followed her with a confused expression on her face.
"What happened?"
"I don't know."
Everyone was confused by the drastic change in Okino Yoko's expression in an instant.
Akikawa Kyousuke, unsure of what had happened, lowered his head again and reviewed his information.
And beside him.
Manager Misaki Itakura looked at Akikawa Kyousuke in shock.
"Did Miss Yoko just look at Mr. Akikawa?"
"Is it because of Mr. Akikawa that Miss Yoko showed that expression?!"
As the greatest fan of Yoko Okino, Misaki Itakura was very clear that Okino Yoko, who had the experience of being an idol, had the best commercial ability in Japan.
Yoko Okino knows that artists must bring positive emotions to fans and the public.
That's why she always wears a cheerful and sunny smile that can warm people's hearts.
This is a habit she developed since her days as an idol in the "Earth Lady Team."
Except during filming.
Almost no one has ever seen Yoko Okino show negative emotions in public.
But just now, Okino Yoko clearly didn't suppress her expression due to a huge impact.
That perfect cheek was damaged.
Misaki Itakura couldn't understand what was happening.
So she couldn't help but ask:
"Um, Mr. Akikawa. Do you know Miss Yoko personally?"
"I don't know her, what's the matter?"
Akikawa Kyusuke answered without hesitation.
"Oh, okay."
Itakura Misaki said softly, and at the same time, her somewhat anxious heart felt relieved.
"It seems like I'm worrying too much."
Misaki Itakura thought to herself.
With Kyousuke Akikawa's identity and background, how could he know the national goddess Yoko Okino?
