Wheeling on Kevin, Tanya strode up to him as she snapped, "First of all, I never betrayed anyone! I was vocal before, but that also means I'm capable of staying silent! My voice is mine, and just because I endorsed someone before, it doesn't mean they own me!"Then, she raised her voice even more as she continued, "Also, every individual has the freedom of choice! I've always respected yours, even now, but did you return that favor? Do you respect my choice? I've taken good care of you for as long as you've worked for me, and I even supported you when you came out with everything I had. I'm just tired of all that activism and need a break, yet you're already calling me out for letting you down? For turning against you?!"Kevin was left flustered as he really didn't expect Tanya to snap, and he quickly said, "W-Wait, that's not what I mean… I just think people who look forward to your support will be disappointed…""Well, don't you think I'm disappointed now?" Tanya shot back. "I've

Yet now, Kevin gave up completely.Tanya's menacing presence and the way she had threatened to cancel him left him petrified.At this point, his only choice was to take her deal and leave without a word, and he would still retain the title of Tanya's former personal makeup artist.Meanwhile, Tanya was telling her manager, "And another thing. Tell everyone that we're not going on break. For the next month, I'll be doing ten concerts in Oskia, and the holiday only starts after."The manager was shocked once again. "Ten concerts in Oskia?! Why are you only telling us now?! There's so much preparation needed, but on such short notice, and everyone is ready to go on holiday after the Tokyo stop! They've even bought their own flight tickets to go elsewhere. It'd be demoralizing for everyone if you just pull them out of their holiday mood…""I'm only telling you now because I just decided on it today," Tanya replied flatly. "In regard to the short timetable, that's on the rest of you. Os

Tanya sighed. "I can tell that I've lost, and I stopped my shoutout because I've come to see that it was a mistake. As a public figure worshipped by many, especially minors, I have a duty to be careful with my speech and behavior. Also, I've decided to stop doing shout-outs for any position."Mrs. Sweet groaned in disappointment right then, "Please, Tanya, you're already thirty! Can't you be more mature and cover all corners? You know that supporting minorities is now the staple moral high ground, and as a public figure, you should be actively promoting it!"If you don't, the paparazzi will quickly jump to conclusions that you never agreed to their movement, and the antis will rally to cancel you! Your career will be reduced to nothing!""It's fine, Mom," Tanya assured her. "It's time to take the right perspectives, and I won't mind people attacking me for it."While her mother was worried about her career and potentially shrinking income, she also had no idea Tanya had nearly been

The white-haired geezer was livid. "If they weren't paid off, that could only mean they're all dead. Aren't they supposed to be elite assassins? And with ninjas working with them, they have a clear advantage—how could they have been stopped?!""Well…"While the trio with him were sweating bullets, the blonde man braced himself and said, "Sir, we don't have the details, so it's all just speculation, but there may be someone who is incredibly strong in Tanya's entourage… or the Mitsui family might have noticed something and doubled her protection. Either way, our people have all gone MIA, and we can only make guesses about what happened."The white-haired geezer bellowed, "I don't want to guess what happened! All I know is that Tanya Sweet must die! The idiots who took interest in her influence and went on to recruit her just had to tell her and show her so many of our dirty secrets just to make her feel like she belonged!"Well, the senator we were all counting on lost, and we know

To no surprise, when Loreeen found out that Sachiko was busy, she turned to Charlie and Claire, saying, "Well, guys, I think Sachiko will be busy for a while. We can hang around after the concert and then give her a heads up before we actually leave."Claire smiled and nodded without hesitation, "It's only natural that we do. We're in no hurry anyway, and the hotel is quite near, so we don't have to deal with the crowds even if we wait. With the crowds mostly dispersing and Sachiko finishing up, it's only courteous for us to say goodbye since she got us those tickets."Turning to Charlie, she asked, "Right, Dear?""Sure," Charlie smiled. "You're the boss."At the same time, Kathleen noticed Yoshitaka's intention and smiled too. "Perfect. You guys go ahead and do what you have to. I need to talk to Mr. Mitsui about something myself."She knew Charlie wouldn't want Claire to know too much about his other life. Knowing Yoshitaka, after Charlie had managed to get ten concerts out of
