With Ren's simple explanation, Yoko now understood the specific situation.
She had already clearly learned about the secrets of this world from the diary.
Now, through the explanation, she also knew about the Miyano sisters, Akemi and Shiho, and their previous plight.
"The truth behind these matters is truly complex."
Yoko felt more sympathy for the Miyano sisters.
From childhood, they were targeted by that assassin organization, trained by it, and even pulled into it to assist the organization.
The older sister even went deep into it to save her younger sister, who had been brought into the assassin organization, and made countless efforts.
From this perspective, this pair of sisters was quite tragic in some sense.
As for the guards who died in Shirohato Pharmaceuticals, that was not within Yoko's scope of consideration.
"But I didn't expect Miwako to accept it too."
As far as Yoko knew, Miwako seemed to be a Police officer, and even a Police Inspector at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.
"Please, I'm a Police officer. What I need to protect is the safety of the public."
"I abide by the law only for ordinary citizens. Why should I care about the lives of such criminal groups?"
Miwako knew that some Police officers were very rigid, but such a thing was almost impossible to happen to her.
With her father's past experience as a lesson, she was all too clear about what would happen to Police officers with too high morals.
She believed her father's moral compass was very high, and her father was certainly a very noble Police officer.
But no matter how noble a Police officer, some bottom lines needed to be flexible.
Her father's character was a role model for Miwako, but her father's experience was also a lesson for Miwako.
She also hoped to become a good Police officer.
But her methods would definitely not be as gentle as her father's.
"That's good."
Yoko breathed a sigh of relief. She was actually quite worried that Miwako's character in this regard would be too high, leading to a betrayal of Ren.
"Miss Okino… you don't have to think of me as someone who would play tricks behind your back, do you~."
Anyone seeing Yoko's reaction would know what she meant, and of course, Miwako wasn't particularly angry.
In fact, she also thought she would accept it so quickly.
Perhaps it was due to the person, or perhaps due to the identity of those people.
"Who told us we didn't know each other before."
Yoko grumbled.
Before today, she and Miwako didn't know each other, and her usual work had no connection with the Police of the Criminal Investigation Department.
Knowing that there was a Police officer among her younger brother's followers, and one of the Police Inspectors in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department at that, she was naturally somewhat worried whether her younger brother would suffer betrayal.
After the two finished speaking, Ren then explained:
"I'm not a criminal who disregards human life, so naturally, there's no need to worry about Miwako stabbing me in the back."
"She is a Police officer with a very upright character, and she has her own judgment on certain matters. I haven't hidden anything from her, whether I've done anything excessive or not."
The reason for connecting with Miwako in the first place wasn't to have her help him commit crimes. He just wanted to establish a reporting channel through Miwako that wouldn't be monitored by the Police.
Ren is not someone who likes to stir up trouble. Usually, when he encounters something, the first thing he does is call the Police.
Calling the Police is a good habit.
As a good citizen, using the Police to handle criminal incidents can be considered a harmonious way for the Police and the public to coexist.
Especially since Ren himself has a cautious personality, he is naturally very happy to have a reporting channel with the Police.
As for developing into a believer, it was actually just to solidify this relationship, so that the next time he pushed something to the Police, it would be even more natural.
And the subsequent complex relationship… could he say he hadn't thought about it initially?
"Speaking of which, Yoko, how is your studio doing?"
When the topic of the studio came up, Yoko's spirits lifted.
"We've all finished our current work, and now we've started taking phased breaks under the pretext of 'after work.' We thought we'd use this period, while our original agency's work is complete, to officially start establishing our own studio."
"We've carefully registered the agency, found a location for the work, and now all that's left is to terminate our contract with the original company."
During this time, Yoko also made up for the preparations needed to establish her own studio. It can be said that she and her friends had made many preparations in their spare time.
That's about it.
Ren thought about the progress. Yoko's side had completed all the preparations before the split, and the next step was to completely terminate the contract with the original agency and go solo.
"Have you prepared a manager?"
Yoko nodded slightly, but finally sighed.
"We actually did look for some managers with good reputations and abilities in the industry, but further investigation revealed that those managers could hardly leave their original agencies."
"In addition, we're preparing all this in secret, so naturally, we can't go talk to those managers about it."
"In the end, we didn't have a good choice for a manager."
"And I also considered that all of us are preparing to break away and work independently. Even if we told those managers about such an idea, they would probably just take our invitation as a joke."
"So, after discussing it, we temporarily skipped the manager part."
The manager hurdle was quite difficult to overcome.
So, after Yoko investigated and understood this outcome, she completely gave up on the idea of finding a manager.
Ren listened and nodded slightly.
"Before you break away, it's indeed hard to choose. Those managers are too clear about the entertainment industry, and too clear about the control capital has over the entertainment industry. Those well-known managers definitely won't bother with you."
"In their perception, they will definitely think that once you popular artists leave the agency, you will quickly be blacklisted, and getting involved with you will only completely cut short their careers as managers."
The entertainment industry is a place where people step on the low and praise the high.
And this big dye vat is also a place where good fabric is easily stained.
"Also, you don't need to look for a manager."
Akemi immediately stood up and walked over.
"The manager's work for your studio will be handed over to Miyano Akemi."
"Although Akemi is not professional right now, I think Akemi can definitely do this job."
"The key is, she's one of us, trustworthy."
