After the meeting ended, after announcing the agreed disposition plan to Yukiko Okada with Director Sekiko, Noburo Mizoguchi declined Director Seki's proposal to go to dinner with him and returned to the office.

When he was alone, he finally took out the suicide note from the inner pocket of his suit.

Aside from the position of running an office, the suicide of Yukiko Okada had a great impact on Mizoguchi Shinro personally. At that year's "STAR! Birth", he was the person who sat in the audience as the representative of the office.

It was he who fell in love with Yukiko Okada, and later, when her family objected to her daughter's entry into the entertainment world, she personally went to Nagoya to persuade Yukiko Okada's family, and finally brought her to Tokyo on the condition that Yukiko Okada should live in the president's house and that the president and his wife would act as guardians in person.

"Please feel free to leave Yukiko to me, and I will make her the 'sun goddess' of SUNMUSIC. Mizoguchi Noburo assured Okada's family.

Yukiko Okada has a pure and innocent smile and a dreamy and sweet typhoon, which is the reason why he insisted on signing her.

What happened to make the optimistic and cheerful girl choose to commit suicide?

As an office operation, this is a big problem that needs to be solved urgently in front of Mizoguchi Shinro, from her suicide to Hayakawa Asako calling an ambulance in a panic to make things bigger, every matter has been drawn, he is anxious, blaming the girl for her rashness.

But as the guardian Mizoguchi Nobuchi, who was infected by the girl's smile and did everything he could to bring her to Tokyo, Okada Yukiko will commit suicide, he is more sad than anyone else, as if he saw that innocent and optimistic girl being shattered.

Mizoguchi Noburo started as an ordinary agent, and until today, he serves as the head of the first production department of SUNMUSIC, and is an experienced and well-known agent in the circle.

He set his eyes on the envelope. The cover neatly reads the words "suicide note". If you open this suicide note, you may be able to peek into the girl's heart and understand her state of mind before she decided to commit suicide.

But...... Can this letter really be opened? As he was about to open the envelope, Mizoguchi hesitated.

When Asako Hayakawa returned to the office with the hot bento, Yukiko Okada was still sitting there quietly like she had done before she went out, with an expression of not knowing what she was thinking.

Seeing that she was okay, the shadow in Hayakawa Asako's heart also dispersed a little, and he said to her in a coaxing child's tone: "Aren't you hungry? ”

Yukiko Okada let out a soft "um", "...... Thanks, Hayakawa-san. ”

She only ate about half of the bento, saying that she was hungry was just an excuse, and if it weren't for the phone call, Iwahashi Shinichi didn't have more or less patience, and Iwahashi was afraid that things would have gone in the worst direction.

Putting down the chopsticks, Yukiko Okada shook her head, "I'm sorry, I'm done." ”

At this moment, someone knocked lightly on the office door twice, and then pushed it open.

"Mizoguchi-san. Hayakawa Asako quickly stood up.

Yukiko Okada raised her head, looked at Mizoguchi Shinro who came in, and was stunned for a moment before she remembered to say hello, "Mizoguchi-san......"

"Yukiko, how do you feel, are you feeling better?" Noburo Mizoguchi put his hand on her shoulder and motioned for her to sit down.

"......" Yukiko Okada didn't know how to answer.

Mizoguchi Nobuchi smiled, "Also, you shouldn't ask such a question. The expression softened, "In short, it's good that people are fine." He didn't show a reproach for her, which eased Yukiko Okada's nervousness a little.

"Hayakawa-san, can you please go and make coffee? and Yukiko, I remember she likes apple juice. Mizoguchi Noburo commanded.

Hayakawa Asako understood and left with interest, "Yes, I'll go now." ”

When there were only the two of them in the office, Mizoguchi Shinro took out the suicide note and gently placed it on the table. Yukiko Okada saw that her expression changed drastically, and she felt a strong sense of fear.

Mizoguchi took her reaction into his eyes and couldn't help but rejoice in his heart about his decision. He had a hunch that if he read this suicide note, things would go on a rampage in an irreparable direction.

"There's Kiko," he said, "and since you're safe, I think I should give it back to you." ”

"......" Yukiko Okada grabbed her fingers nervously.

"I didn't read the contents of the letter and I didn't hand it over. Mizoguchi said, "I think this is a 'suicide note' after all." Since you are still alive, neither I, nor anyone, are qualified to break the faith of the living. ”

The person who just announced the plan with Director Seki was Noburo Mizoguchi, the head of the first production department, and now he is talking about this, the guardian Noburo Mizoguchi, who took Yukiko Okada from his family in Nagoya.

Yukiko Okada looked at Mizoguchi Noburo, not expecting to hear this from him.

At the same time, everything seems to have room to maneuver. Although there is still a mess to be cleaned up on the road ahead, at least she doesn't have to worry and feel uneasy about the pressure of being treated as a white-eyed wolf by the firm.

Not only that, but Noburo Mizoguchi thinks about her so much, and Yukiko Okada is ashamed that she wants to escape. If he dies, the situation is a hundred times worse than now, and it will be pressed on Mizoguchi Shinro.

It was then that she felt the joy of being reborn after the catastrophe.

Break up Hayakawa-san, thank you, and Iwahashi-san, and then go to the top floor of the office. This was a plan that Okada had made when the six gods of Kiko had no owner. After all, she was only eighteen years old, and she could only think of these things for a while after what she thought was a catastrophe.

If you hadn't thought of calling Iwahashi-san, or the phone didn't go through, or maybe he didn't reach out...... Then she wouldn't have known that although the road in front of her was messed up by her, it was not so bad that she needed to die.

Iwahashi-san just said that he could call him again, and if there was anything he wanted to discuss with him, he would definitely listen.

Yukiko Okada stretched out her hand and picked up the suicide note, with tears in her eyes.

Tears are sometimes a sign of life. Mizoguchi Noburo watched her cry and felt relieved. But at the same time, he couldn't help but think in his heart that his ambition to create the "Sun Goddess" was also completely shattered with this incident.

But at least Yukiko Okada is still alive......

The gossip reporter of the island country has a world-class professional level.

Since the afternoon, the firm has been receiving confirmation from newspapers and the media about the "suicide of Yukiko Okada", and the firm naturally denies it. But in the evening, there was still a flash on TV that "idol Yukiko Okada is suspected of committing suicide at home".

The media even went to Aoyama's apartment to shoot and interview the residents of the same building.

Compared with the "gas leakage incident", it is obvious that the "suicide attempt of a popular idol" is more eye-catching. Although the general public hates the scandal of idols, they are also happy to see idols have scandals.

From this point of view, it can be seen that the "entertaining" attribute of the profession of star is difficult to hide under the glamorous appearance.

As for SUNMUSIC's clarification, the media often added an understatement after gossiping to the fullest: "A related person on SUNMUSIC's side said that Okada-san was a minor accident caused by improper use of gas."

“...... It is reported that this morning, Okada-san was absent from the program that was supposed to be recorded due to physical discomfort...... "On the car radio, the host is also reporting on the matter.

"It doesn't matter if you have Kiko, right?" Matsumoto Akiko in the back seat seemed to be talking to herself, as if she was asking him.

"The news didn't say that Okada-san was safe. Iwahashi replied casually, turning down the volume. At this time, when I was out of Tokyo, there was a traffic jam on the road.

He was tight-lipped about Yukiko Okada's call to him. At the same time, I was also relieved that the news reported that "Yukiko Okada was safe and sound" instead of "Yukiko Okada committed suicide".

"The next time I see her, I have to comfort her. Matsumoto Akiko said, "Such a good girl." ”
