Yu Nagasawa couldnât have known that Renz was bluffing. She had already assumed that Renz wasnât short on money, so this additional condition became her answer to her superiors, a way to explain things and at least give herself a decent fallback and a way out.
Renz, meanwhile, had gotten what he wanted. As a general director, under such terms, Yu Nagasawa wouldnât dare to pressure Renz and Erina too much, forcing them to become âunhappyâ on the show and withdraw, which would indirectly affect her showâs
ratings and her own career.
"Letâs talk about the show itself," Renz brought up a topic that Erina found more interesting.
"Can you reveal the other guest groups?" Renz asked.
"I canât disclose that," Yu Nagasawa said, to ensure the showâs security. "There are voice actors, entertainment industry artists, chess players, and other well-known figures from various fields."
She was afraid Renz would find out the information and leak it, which would be a breach of professional ethics.
"Can we bring a child to the show?" Erinaâs questions always came from a unique angle.
"Itâs not impossible," Yu Nagasawa considered. "But wouldnât it be inconvenient for you if you brought a child?"
"Weâre coming to the show to have fun, so we might as well have fun with the child," Erina said.
"This seems to be the second season of the show."
"Is the setting the same as the first season?" Erina asked curiously.
"The opening ceremony should maintain tradition," Yu
Nagasawa said unhurriedly. "For your first appearance, both of you will need to be meticulously dressed."
"You can choose outfits you donât usually get to wear."
"By the way, if I may be so bold, how is your emotional
life as a couple?" Yu Nagasawa asked cautiously.
This show is a major challenge for couples and spouses, so it heavily relies on the tacit understanding between them.
During the first season, there was a minor incident where a couple whose relationship had already broken down appeared on the show to make money. After the show, their divorce was revealed, which brought very negative publicity to the production team.
Yu Nagasawa asked this question because she was afraid that if Renz and Erinaâs relationship was mediocre, their performance on the show would be poor and draw criticism from the audience.
"Thatâs a strange question," Erina retorted. "Do you think our marital relationship is terrible?"
"And I can assure you, you definitely havenât been in a relationship. If a relationship is bad, just sitting together would be awkward, okay?" Erinaâs words were very blunt.
"If I dislike someone, I wonât allow them in my line of sight," she added.
Renz rubbed his forehead and said, "Youâre so domineering, not allowing anyone in your line of sight."
"Thatâs right," Erina said, rolling her eyes.
Yu Nagasawa watched the two flirt and could confirm that she didnât need to overthink their relationship issues anymore.
But she had to admit, Erinaâs words were quite hurtful.
Japanâs declining birthrate is very serious, and itâs caused by many factors. One reason is that ordinary people have very high expectations for their quality of life.
Many people living in Tokyo wonât consider a partner.
Once married, it adds the pressure of raising children, or even supporting a spouse, to an already not-so-lucrative life.
The money earned is barely enough to support one person; having another child is enough to crush a personâs quality of life for almost twenty years.
Especially for female professionals during their career ascent, they will not choose to date. After getting pregnant, taking maternity leave, and returning to work a year later, there will be no place for them, affecting their career progression.
As a result.
Love has become a highly burdensome negative social
interaction, affecting both career advancement and adding the pressure of a child to oneâs life.
How could Yu Nagasawa possibly have a boyfriend?
Having a boyfriend would bring too many unstable factors. Yu Nagasawa would rather remain single until retirement.
As for emotional life, Yu Nagasawa had no desires.
"I have no romantic experience," Yu Nagasawa nodded.
"But I donât think not having romantic experience is a problem."
"I didnât say it was a problem," Erina said helplessly.
"Everyone has their own choices."
"But, if youâve never been in a relationship, how can you be the general director of this kind of variety show?" Erina couldnât help but complain.
"Not having been in a relationship has nothing to do with my job," Yu Nagasawa said earnestly. "Many authors who write romance novels havenât been in relationships, and most directors of pure romance anime have no romantic experience. They all rely on vague concepts to fantasize about what love is like."
"And fantasies are just fantasies; they always tend to develop in a beautiful direction, making these fantasies envied by most people."
"I just donât understand why theyâre envious," Yu Nagasawa said calmly.
"That probably varies from person to person. When I get home from work every day, I feel uneasy if I donât see my wife," Renz said using an exaggerated analogy. "Earning money, for me, is just so my wife and child can live better lives."
"When they smile in front of me, Iâm very happy."
Renz pondered, "People who canât experience this feeling might find it hard to understand."
"Letâs not talk about these things for now. You canât
disclose the showâs subsequent activities, and I canât interrogate you, right?" Renz asked. "Tell me about the filming schedule so Erina and I can plan our trip."
"The show still needs quite a bit of preparation time; we also need to design the content for the subsequent challenges."
"But filming should start in a month at the latest," Yu Nagasawa answered. "If you two can maintain this traffic and popularity for that month," đŻđ§đźđźđđźđđŁđđđđ”.đŹđžđ
"The showâs ratings should be very good."
"I have something urgent to attend to, so I wonât accompany you further."
Renz nodded.
"Pleasure working with you," Renz extended his hand, offering a final gesture of welcome and farewell.
Yu Nagasawa briefly shook his hand.
She also returned with "Pleasure working with you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Nagasawa stood up, paid the bill, and walked out alone.
Once she was gone.
Erina patted Renzâs shoulder and reminded him, "Oh, right, darling, this show selects the âBest Coupleâ from the participating groups each season."
"No matter what, for this second season, we absolutely have to win that âBest Coupleâ title."
Renz rubbed his head and couldnât help but retort, "That title is practically useless, isnât it?"
"Itâs just more symbolic."
Upon hearing this, Erina stared at Renz, unmoving, arms crossed, watching him.
Renz, being stared at like this, could only give a wry smile, "But if you really want that title, itâs not like we donât have the ability to compete for it."
"It shouldnât be hard to get that title, right?"
