The Christmas atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger.

Looking at the Christmas decorations outside the window, Xue Cai couldn't help but feel a little absent-minded. She still remembered the scene of everyone having a mini LIVE together during School Days last Christmas, but this year...

"Did you listen to me, Miss Setsuna?"

"Ah, yes!"

Hearing this voice, Setsuna stiffened all over and turned to look at the woman in business attire opposite her. She was the producer assigned to Setsuna by Ogata Office and the person who arranged Setsuna's work. To be honest, Setsuna was a little scared of her because this woman with glasses gave people a very serious feeling, a bit like a school teacher, and she was also very strict with herself...

"On Christmas Eve, you need to go to the radio station to do an interview program, then participate in the love competition, and there will be a Christmas Eve singing festival in the evening, right..."

"Yes, that's it."

Hearing that Setsuna's answer was correct, the woman nodded with satisfaction, and Setsuna breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had been distracted in class and was suddenly called upon by the teacher to answer a question and successfully passed the test.

"Also, Mr. Kono invites you to attend the dinner later..."

"Um... Miss Yamamoto..."

Hearing this, Xue Cai couldn't bear it any longer.

"Can I not go? I've agreed with my family that we'll spend Christmas Eve together."

"Ms. Setsuna."

Producer Yamamoto pushed up his glasses when he heard what Setsuna said.

"You are an idol now. I understand that you want to be reunited with your family, but work is the most important thing now. Ogata Agency has invested so much in you, and we also hope that you can perform well. Mr. Kono's father is the president of an entertainment company, and he himself is also the leading actor in the upcoming movie. It will be good for your career to have a good relationship with him."

“…”

here we go again.

Hearing this, Setsuna instinctively frowned. She really didn't like this kind of conversation at all. Indeed, after signing with Ogata Agency, the agency also spent a lot of effort on training her, and also invited a very famous instructor in the industry to give Setsuna special training. To be honest, Setsuna can also feel her own progress. In the past, she just liked singing, but now, because of this professional training, Setsuna has gradually grown up.

But...she didn't like it.

Especially the producer Yamamoto in front of her, who kept saying "the agency has put so much effort into training you", making Setsuna feel as if she was just a pig trained by Ogata Agency, just waiting to be fattened up and slaughtered for meat...

"Ms. Setsuna?"

Looking at Setsuna's expression, Yamamoto became more serious.

"Do you understand? Everything you have now is so rare. You know, many girls dream of becoming famous, but they can't do it at all. You have such a good opportunity, you should seize it!"

"But, but..."

Hearing this, Xue Cai also tried hard to argue.

"But I'm an idol. If I'm with a man, won't it cause scandals?"

"Gossip is good too. It can increase attention and can also be used as a selling point. The other party is Mr. Kono, so there is nothing to lose for you."

"Why?"

Hearing this, Xuecai was completely disappointed. She opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing.

How could there be no loss?

Setsuna had heard many times from the girls in the same agency that although the man named Kono advertised himself as a "cheerful idol man" outside, he was actually a playboy who liked to seduce women. It was said that he had already laid his hands on several girls, and some of them had to leave the entertainment industry because of pregnancy.

Although he did a lot of things that would cause a stir, because his father was the president of a large entertainment company, these bad rumors were not reported by the media. Those girls were basically overwhelmed by the money and dared not say anything.

Setsuna's family is not a wealthy one, of course, Morikawa Yuki is very close to her, which is why Setsuna can stay in this agency with peace of mind. But Morikawa Yuki is a big star after all, and her daily workload is even greater than Setsuna's. She recently went abroad for performances, so it is naturally impossible for her to stay with Setsuna all day long.

What if she encountered such a thing? Sister Youqi was very kind to her, but the other party was the son of the president of a large company after all, and Sister Youqi would not go against him for her.

I wonder what it’s like over at 765?

Thinking of this, Xue Cai couldn't help but think of the girls in 765. At that time, she saw those girls surrounding Fang Zheng, talking and laughing happily. She thought that all producers were like this. She also hoped that she could meet a similar producer in Ogata Agency. Now it seems... this is just her dream after all.

"In short, if Mr. Kono invites you to a dinner party, it's best not to refuse. This is for the firm and for yourself."

"……yes."

After hearing this, Xue Cai finally lowered her head.

Looking at the scene in front of them, Illya and Xiao Hei, who were floating nearby, also started whispering to each other.

"Wow, Xiao Hei, look, it's just like in the TV show."

"That's right, that's what I think. If this were a TV series, Setsuna-san would be the heroine."

"So the guy named Kono is a bad guy, right?"

"Of course. The one who has bad intentions towards the heroine must be a villain. And didn't Chtholly say that? That guy drove a red sports car to pick her up at school. He doesn't look like a good person at all!"

Having said that, Xiao Hei rolled his eyes.

"Well... I've come up with a good idea."

"What is the solution?"

"Doesn't that guy named Kono have a bad reputation? We've heard about it before."

“That’s true…”

Because Illya and Kuro are spirits, they can move around the office freely and hear a lot of news. For example, there are several girls who don't like Setsuna and say bad things about her behind her back, and mock her for being too proud of herself and being targeted by Kono. During their conversation, Kuro and Illya also learned that Kono played with several girls, and some of them chose to commit suicide because of him.

"Hey, hey, we can..."

As he spoke, Xiao Hei leaned over to Illya's ear and said something. After hearing what Xiao Hei said, Illya was stunned.

"Eh? Isn't this bad?!"

"What's wrong with that? If what those people said is true, then this Kono deserves it! We are magical girls, shouldn't we punish evil and promote good?"

"That's what you said, but we don't know where the man named Kono is?"

This is a big problem.

"Don't worry, if his target is Sister Xuecai, he will show up sooner or later, and then..."

Having said that, Xiao Hei revealed a meaningful smile.

"It's up to us!"
