Chapter 521

The administrative lounge had no one else besides a few servers and the Special Mission Unit and the Onoda group, and with the formal banquet over, everyone relaxed a bit and started chatting and laughing.

After the attack on Yamaguchi Maho, YKC48 suffered a joint crackdown from the Financial Services Agency and the Metropolitan Police Department, and to this day still cannot perform normally on TV programs or at the Akiba Theater, so many top-tier idols have graduated.

But unexpectedly, Miyawaki Sakura, one of the top-tier idols, stayed on, which moved countless fans to tears, thinking that although the little idol has now become a big star, she still has us die-hard theater fans in her heart!

And Miyawaki Sakura, due to her special relationship with Uesugi Muneyuki and Shirakawa Mai and her contract with Fuji TV's "Hand of God," became the only 48-group female idol unaffected by the crackdown; these past two months, fans on TV really could only see her alone!

Of course, in this idol pool, with groups going on there naturally comes a group on top, and Hirate Sarina's Akasaka slope successfully took over all 48's resources and programs during this period, started blowing up across society, and released the famous single "Two People's Season," with the line "Futanari stuff zongzi" (Two People's Season) going viral all over Japan, and Hirate Sarina also became famous all over Japan thanks to her Unmovable C status, and with an estimated half-year income of 15 million yen and 13 individual CMs (endorsements), she surpassed Sashihara Rino and topped the idol chart.

Here I'll complain: Japanese people really do love making all kinds of rankings, even for which female entertainer they most want to go skiing with (first place is Aragaki Yui), and for decades they've really never gotten tired of it.

"Date-san, do you like little cherry blossoms? Aren't you a single-pusher of the second young lady Moriya Akane of Akasaka slope?" Igarashi laughed and said, "Yeah, DD is DD, but you still have the nerve to say you're a single-pusher!" Minami Ojou-sama also said with a sideways glance, she actually knows a bit about these idol things, after all she never misses an episode of "Hand of God": "DD da, DD slash!"

(Generally speaking, in Japanese idol groups, when you yourself especially like and recommend a certain member, it's called "X-push"; single-push means pushing only one person, symbolizing purity, while liking every member is called DD or "box-push," generally mocked as promiscuous and not single-minded, with a lower ecological niche.)

Sure enough, after saying that, Date Nagamune's face turned red, and he muttered things like "Pushing a few in a group isn't called DD," "Pushing one or two in a row isn't called DD," "Picking one or two from a senbatsu of three rows isn't called DD," and other incomprehensible things, making everyone laugh nonstop.

Look, this is idol otaku. jpg

Date Nagamune's embarrassment even made the Onoda brothers and Watanabe Eiji, who were chatting nearby, laugh nonstop.

"So what exactly happened to Miyawaki?" Uesugi Muneyuki also couldn't help laughing a bit, but he still paid attention to little cherry blossom.

"Well, everyone look." Date Nagamune put his phone on the table.

The picture showed a restaurant sign, carefully plated dishes, and a pre-dinner drink, with a blurry Tokyo nightscape in the background.

Miyawaki Sakura (@iyawaki):

"Pinch your chicken sa la sa la!"

"Major announcement!"

"Today, ah, Sakura I ah, finally booked that Michelin one-star Italian in Minato Ward! Currently enjoying

Omakase! Carbonara!"

"This is the creativity of an Executive-level chef!"

"The literally creamy burrata in the Amuse-bouche fromelier's strict selection of Brunello body is also perfectly paired!"

"The ambiance's minimal | you can feel authentic Italian vibes! It's practically a hideaway!

Such a blessed night~

The Special Mission Unit members took a look, each with wide eyes staring at each other.

Who can understand all this katakana? Ikeda Erena thought to herself.

Who can understand all this English? Kai Toru thought to himself.

Who can understand all these proper nouns? Date Nagamune thought to himself.

This Sakura girl's exclusive flex tweet mixing half Japanese, half English, and a bunch of katakana to show off her taste and swagger really does have little cherry blossom's style, and Uesugi Muneyuki really couldn't stop laughing, while across from him, Nango Yui was obviously also one of the few who understood, this banker's son had already held in his laughter until he was breathless.

Pfft, the chef even came out?

Is that how you use "chef"?

Uesugi Muneyuki also couldn't help laughing, the term "chef" actually is indeed a loanword from Japanese, its root being director (manager) transliterated into Japanese katakana and then translated back into Japanese and then into Chinese, becoming "chef."

Originally, "chef" actually referred to some idol stars who, after blowing up, created their own brand, with the person himself being both the brand's founder and spokesperson, and also participating in certain brand operations and management; under these multiple identities, many common terms like boss, manager, and spokesperson couldn't properly describe the star's position in the brand, so the term "chef" came into being.

As time passed, the term started to change meaning; with its infiltration into food culture, "chef" began to be overused and started to be used to try to distinguish the masses from the individual.

For example, I'm not a meat bun seller, I'm the chef of Spanish black pork crispy panini.

I'm not a pork trotter rice seller, I'm the chef of Cantonese 0makase Longjiang cuisine.

I'm not a pancake fruit seller, I'm the chef of gluten-free crepe early wind flavor brunch.

Just saying, showing off is a human necessity, everyone's bones are extremely craving to show off, and humans are similarly contradictory creatures, everyone wants to be like others, but everyone also wants to be unlike others!

Just like Onoda Kimiaki said, back then the whole class were "revolutionary warriors," back then a group of high school boys had few who understood "All-Campus Joint Struggle Committee"? But it doesn't matter, because it was so C00OL! Likewise, Onoda Kimiaki back then was the only one not participating in this activity, single-mindedly preparing for college entrance exams, and besides his clear-headedness, he probably also thought this was so C00000L!

And what's even more ironic is that these people are now sitting in the administrative lounge of the Akasaka detached palace state guest house looking at this tweet.

"What thing, also let me see it?" Just then, National Police Agency Secretariat Director Onoda Kimiaki also came over, and with his professional sharpness, his gaze unintentionally swept over the screen, he took two looks, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a sort-of-smile-not-smile arc, carrying a few hints of the tone of those at the top of power looking at the entertainment world's glamour with detachment, he spoke in a voice neither too high nor too low, just loud enough for everyone present to hear: "Miyawaki Sakura, you guys better not laugh at her, I remember her annual income last year was 18 million yen, definitely higher than everyone here, and compared to Watanabe Director and elder brother, it's also not an inferior number."

"Eh? Secretariat Director knows little cherry blossom?" Date Nagamune stared wide-eyed.

Elder bone ash level idol otaku?

"No, just that my grandson and granddaughter at home really like it, I've heard them talk about it all day, so I've heard a bit too." Onoda Kimiaki laughed: "You say that's right, elder brother?"

Onoda Yoshio Kimiaki, upon hearing this, merely lifted his eyelids extremely slightly, as the light from the warning soil cup in his hand shifted, swept over Date's phone, and finally landed on Kimiaki's face, carrying a hint of elder brother's subtle reproach for the younger brother's meddling, but more so an air of superior nonchalance: "Well, the entertainment industry also has its differences, high income also shows the entertainment industry is developed, the national economy is active, right?"

Uesugi Muneyuki felt a stir in his heart, thinking this answer was truly seamless.

Onoda Yoshio Kimiaki's words seem publicly assured and full of affirmation, but actually are full of the arrogance of superiors, and his tone clearly implies that the so-called idol's value is measured by data and income.

Watanabe Director then seemed more practical. He let out a short, low, light laugh, as if recalling some file data: "You earn more than me, idols really are great, I also want to be an idol, although that Minato Ward shop is indeed popular now, but if it were me, I wouldn't dare to openly put it out, I'd get flamed."

Watanabe Minami also couldn't help but smirk, her father's words were even more heart-piercing, deeply meaningful.

Little idol, basically not qualified to sit at the table, these female entertainment stars, the only one truly capable of threatening her position, is Shirakawa Mai.

She was about to stand up and say something, but just this one action let the tight, smooth Lycra material stockings and the bare, tender skin instantly generate subtle friction, this strange friction sensation instantly magnified, a flow of heat mixed with intense shame and hidden comfort surged up from the lower abdomen, making Minami's face instantly redden, feeling a sense of being completely peeled open in shame, yet also bringing waves of indescribable both shameful and intoxicating tingling sensation, Minami let out a soft cry, her face all fire, quickly sat down pressing her skirt hem with both hands and lowered her head.

The reaction of the management officer drew everyone's attention, and meanwhile, beside her, Erena seeing this scene instinctively wanted to help her good sister, but as she just stood up she also let out an identical soft cry, hastily clamped her pair of stocking-clad beautiful legs, and also sat back in her original seat, her lovely face flushed with waves of red.

Minami and Erena's reactions drew the Special Mission Unit members' gazes to differ, among them the Onoda brothers still carrying a barely noticeable detached expression, everyone thought it was Uesugi being lustful that made Minami and Erena's legs go weak.

Sure enough, Uesugi Muneyuki laughed as he came to Minami's side, lifted her up and placed her on his lap, Minami Ojou-sama let out a soft cry and quickly lowered her head, secretly twisting a bit on Uesugi Muneyuki's waist.

Stupid Uesugi, you're terrible!

Absolutely no next time!

Scared me to death! If discovered, this Omitaidokoro lady also can only commit seppuku Kora!

Ikeda Erena also without making a sound moved a few steps toward Uesugi Muneyuki's side, she pressed her skirt hem down with one hand, and secretly pinched Minami's little hand with the other, she was also a bit scared!

This scene made everyone envious, among them Date Nagamune weighed it a bit, then proactively asked: "Uesugi-san, could you please teach me, the secret to chasing girls? I always feel Uesugi-san's luck with women is always good."

"Secret to chasing girls? You suddenly say this and I also feel I seem to have never actively pursued anyone before!" Uesugi Muneyuki showed a confused expression, but he said halfway when Minami Ojou-sama and Erena simultaneously twisted him.

Isn't it you who actively pursued this young lady?

Isn't it you who actively wanted to learn martial arts from me and asked me to turn you into a real man?

Minami and Erena glared at him fiercely, and Uesugi Muneyuki could only stay silent: "Well, I suppose there are one or two who take the initiative...?"

"Uesugi-san, is there any secret you can teach me? Let the Second Young Lady remember me instantly! Remember my name and my face!" Date Nagamune indeed got fired up—he also wanted to fall in love, he also wanted the Second Young Lady of Akasaka, Moriya Akane, to be as close to him as Uesugi Muneyuki and Mai-sama Sakura are, just as close as Watanabe Management Official is!

Before, he lacked confidence, but after this case, Date felt he too should have the right to pursue the little idol!

I am a peer who drinks Western liquor at the Akasaka Rikyū!

"Then I'll teach you: find an opportunity, go to a handshake event once, collect several more coupons, when you see the Second Young Lady, don't say anything else—just go up and shout 'Mom!'." Uesugi Muneyuki laughed: "That way, she'll definitely remember you in one go."

Date Nagamune: "?"

Igarashi Hayato, Nango Yui, Kai Toru: "?"

Watanabe Minami, Ikeda Erena: "?"

Onoda Kimiaki, Onoda Kimiaki, Watanabe Eiji: "???"

Faced with this answer, Date Nagamune held his breath until his face turned red, and after a long while he managed to squeeze out: "Uesugi-san—well, I do have a mother!"

"Hahahahaha ahahahahahahaha!" In an instant, explosive laughter echoed through the administrative lounge, so much so that even Onoda Kimiaki, as the Chief Cabinet Secretary, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Indeed, he's a strange fellow—a genius, omnipotent, unruly, yet at the same time possessing a mysterious sense of humor, utterly unlike a Japanese person!

I'm starting to appreciate you a little, Uesugi-kun, future son-in-law of the Watanabe family!

At this moment, Watanabe Eiji needed to take a call, apologize, and leave.

Gazing at the back of this Superintendent General, Onoda Kimiaki's gaze shifted to the petite Minami held in Uesugi Muneyuki's embrace, Uesugi Muneyuki clasping Minami's waist from behind with both arms, chin resting on her head, while Minami's high-heeled shoe heels strained to press against Uesugi Muneyuki's leather shoes, in her fiancé's arms like a happy and sweet Western doll, and beside them, the famous judo beauty officer Ikeda leaned lightly against Uesugi Muneyuki like a little bird, still holding Minami's hand, resembling both a loyal consort of the small surname and a renowned model holding up the scene.

Is this how Watanabe Eiji manages to control and master Uesugi?

Onoda Kimiaki glanced at his younger brother.

Onoda Kimiaki nodded slightly.

"Then what are you going to do? Wait until Eiji finishes this term, how will you master Uesugi?" the Chief Cabinet Secretary asked secretly, lowering his voice.

"Uesugi likes women—we've already controlled one he likes" Onoda Kimiaki said calmly: "As my elder brother just evaluated, 18 million."

"What? Are you saying...?" Onoda Kimiaki was stunned.

The little idol Miyawaki Sakura???

Are you serious?

And Onoda Kimiaki then nodded confidently, gesturing "don't ask, watch me operate!"

Watch me see how the Public Security will use Miyawaki Sakura as this card to master the treasure of Sakuradamon Town Office!
