Starting With The Sefirah Castle In The Anime World

The 60th anniversary of the Suzuki conglomerate was bustling.

As a very important anniversary, this banquet mainly invited past and present allies of the group, almost all of whom were celebrities, socialites, and figures from the world of wealth and power.

Of course, there were also a small number of close friends of the family.

For example, the four little stars at the moment were a bit nervous.

"Wow, Yoko, the Suzuki conglomerate's anniversary is amazing. I saw so many company presidents."

The girl in a green dress with short brown hair looked around curiously.

"Kaoru, it's very rude to act like that. And this is the 60th anniversary of the Suzuki conglomerate. Do you think an event like this is something ordinary people can just walk into?"

The one speaking wore a dark blue dress, her slightly long black hair falling over her shoulders. Her calm face could not hide the nervousness betrayed by her fidgeting fingers.

The scolded girl stuck out her tongue playfully.

The third girl, wearing a white dress with long brown hair, had a mature face but could not hide her nervousness.

She looked at Yoko, who had received the invitation and brought them along.

"Yoko, is it really okay for us to be at a party like this?"

In truth, the three of them who had been invited were a little uneasy.

They were fully aware of their own status.

Celebrities might appear glamorous in the eyes of ordinary people, but there is still an unbridgeable gap between them and true power.

The banquet they were attending now was undoubtedly far beyond their level. For small stars like them, attending such a formal event was completely out of place.

"Don't worry. The one who invited me told me not to worry about that."

Yoko whispered to reassure her worried friends.

She knew they were not qualified to attend such a banquet, but since her brother had told her she could come, she naturally had the qualifications.

"Wow, the person who invited you must be really amazing."

Hearing this, Kaoru Kusano could not help but be surprised.

"To have the right to be invited to a banquet hosted by the Suzuki conglomerate… No, that person is basically giving you the right to attend."

Such a person must either be very close to the Suzuki family or hold a very special status.

"It's not that impressive."

A warm voice suddenly came from behind, and Kaoru noticed Yoko's eyes light up instantly.

"Ren."

Kaoru turned her head and saw a boy wearing glasses standing there. Most of his face was obscured by the frames, but as an actress she could tell that the face behind them had to be handsome.

His dark suit looked new, not something he often wore, possibly the first time. He did not look very old, not even twenty.

Seeing Yoko's bright smile, the expressions of Kaoru, Yuki Takeno, and Terumi Hoshino became a little complicated.

They really did not expect Yoko to like a younger boy.

Ren glanced at the three other girls who had been brought along by Yoko.

"So they all know about it? And they are also going to be part of your studio?"

"Yes."

Yoko nodded with a smile and stepped closer to her friends.

"I've already discussed the studio idea with them, and they all agreed. We've even talked about the salary details. The next step is to officially set it up."

"But starting a studio means officially cutting ties with the past. That's what we need to think about now."

Ren nodded slightly.

He knew that once matters with the agency were handled, the studio would be formally established. But to resolve those agency issues, sufficient status and backing were necessary, otherwise, some problems would be difficult to deal with.

"Long time no see, Mr. Amamiya."

A familiar voice came from the side. Ren turned his head and saw the girl who had changed her fate in order to save her grandfather. Now she appeared much more mature.

"Long time no see, Miss Hatamoto."

Natsue also attended the event today, wearing a beautiful white gown and crystal earrings. The timid and fragile girl from before had completely transformed into someone mature and confident. In just over a month, the change was remarkable.

"Compared to when we first met, Miss Hatamoto has changed a lot."

"This is also thanks to Mr. Amamiya's help."

She was not just being polite. All the changes she had today were due to the gift Ren had given her.

Because of that gift, she had been able to protect her grandfather, allowing him to live a semi-retired life.

Now she was making great progress within the group, but there were still many opposing voices in the conglomerate.

"So, have you selected the three people?"

Ren naturally did not forget his promise.

The difficulties she faced within the group were something he needed to help resolve. If she could unify the voices in the Hatamoto conglomerate, it would bring benefits to him as well.

"I've already chosen them."

Natsue had taken this matter very seriously, conducting thorough investigations on the three she had selected. She confirmed that their identities were clean and that there was no interference from the old guard of the conglomerate.

"All three are recent college graduates who have just started working. They come from poor family backgrounds and are people who need to rely on their own strength."

Clearly, she understood that only with such a background could they be loyal.

Therefore, this was the first standard she used when making her choice.

"Since you've made your choice, contact me after the party."

"I will."

It was definitely inappropriate to discuss this topic further at such an event, and she understood that, so she let the subject drop.

At that moment, Natsue turned her attention to the others.

"Mr. Amamiya, are these four your friends?"

"Well, actually…"

Yoko nudged him gently with her elbow.

"…Alright, we're friends."
