Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

Kitazumi didn't know what the ticket inspector outside was thinking.

But even if he knew it, he would probably just shake his head and marvel at the other person's brilliant mind.

After all, even at his age, he can think of "working on two boats".

If he were older, he wouldn't be able to imagine what kind of delusions the other party would have.

But forget it.

To put it bluntly, the most important reason why this situation of "two people and one person and half" happened this time was because he did not arrange his own time properly.

In addition, they did not want to disappoint Hosokawa Shibaizumi and Akiyama Shion, who were fully prepared and looking forward to Christmas.

In the end, he was forced to pull back and forth like this.

but

"Fortunately everything went well."

Looking at Akiyama Shion, who had already picked out new clothes, she looked very happy.

Kitumi Minoru gave her a thumbs-up with gentle eyes, indicating that the clothes fit her perfectly and there was no problem at all.

"Is it really okay? Minoru? Give me such a beautiful dress?"

Having already taken off her scarf, and holding Kitumi Minoru's palms with both hands, Akiyama Shion turned her pretty face to the side.

"What could be wrong with that?"

Beicheng Shi replied cheerfully, then paused, with a hint of ridicule.

".I was worried that Shion-chan wouldn't like it."

"How could something like that happen?!"

Akiyama Shion's voice was slightly higher.

But soon she seemed to react, and hurriedly covered her mouth, with red clouds falling on her cheeks: "Well, I'm sorry, Minoru, I just..."

"It's okay, I don't care."

Beicheng Minoru was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that it was a bit funny.

The other party probably wanted to use a strong tone to deny his words.

But because Akiyama Shiyin herself is used to speaking softly.

So even if her voice was raised slightly, it still sounded soft.

Paired with that delicate red face, there is an indescribable cuteness.

Just talking and laughing like this until we walked to the door——

"Then I'll go back first, Minoru."

Reluctantly letting go of his palms, Akiyama Shion stood by the door and waved to Kitaki Minoru.

"Well, be careful on the road. I'll go back later."

He reached out his hand unhurriedly in response, and Kitumi kept smiling.

However, after Akiyama Shion completely got on the bus.

His originally unhurried expression changed.

Take out the phone directly.

At the same time, he glanced at the time above.

very good!

Only about six minutes have passed! It should be no problem!

Kitazumi returned to the clothing store just now.

At the same time, under the surprised look of the salesperson, he adjusted his condition in just a few seconds and looked like he was waiting.

And that is in just a few seconds.

Wearing a brand new sky blue round hat and a cute long skirt, Hosokawa Shibaizumi just stepped out of the fitting room wearing red shoes.

Fortunately, I caught up.

Kitaki Minoru let out a long breath.

Then he glanced at the time.

More than four hours have passed since I accompanied Akiyama Shion and Hosokawa Shibaizumi.

During this period, I watched a movie, visited a game arcade, and even made a special trip to a clothing store.

At the same time, I have to accompany two people.

The hardships involved can be imagined.

But fortunately, Beicheng is full of tricks, he is peeing and forgetting things, and Akiyama Shion and Hosokawa Shibaizumi are also immersed in the Christmas atmosphere.

So he really got through it all the way.

And there is one thing to say.

Although I am a little tired.

Kitazumi raised his head, recalling Akiyama Shion's extremely happy expression today, and then looked at Hosokawa Shibaizumi walking up to him, looking forward to asking for his opinion.

His expression also softened.

That’s okay!

At any rate, it makes sense for him to work so hard, as long as they can have fun.

And what's next?

The next trip is simple.

It's now past five o'clock, and the sky outside has already taken on the dark color of night.

He just needed to send Hosokawa Shibaizumi to the car safely.

Today's Christmas session can end here.

As for whether something will happen?

This Kitaki Minoru felt that it was completely impossible.

Although it is said that "there may not be a road until the car reaches the mountain," but it doesn't really mean that the road is blocked as the words say, right?

Now, he has sent Akiyama Shiyin away safely.

No matter what happens next, nothing will go wrong.

Thinking about this, Kitazumi did not hesitate, smiled, and gave Hosokawa Shibaizumi a thumbs up, indicating that the clothes fit him very well and there was no problem at all.

But his thumb only just extended.

There was already a voice coming out.

"Sorry, guest, the girl who was with you just now left this item in our store. If it is convenient, could you please transfer this item to her?"

"Um?"

Beicheng Minoru was stunned for a moment.

Then I noticed what the clerk who came over was holding.

It was a brown plaid scarf.

According to Kitazumi's memory, the only person wearing this scarf with him today was Akiyama Shion.

Beicheng Minoru subconsciously turned his head.

There was a panting girl with long hair standing on the escalator.

At this time, Kitazumi Minoru and Hosokawa Shibaizumi turned their heads and just met her eyes.

"Mizu-chan.? And Shibaizumi-chan?"

"Sister Shiyin?"

The two made surprised noises to each other.

Kitasumi also knocked his head with a headache.

Hiss.

Good guy.

This time it was really a problem.

The main thing is who would have thought that Akiyama Shion would forget to take her scarf when trying on clothes?

Feeling the surprised eyes of the two people looking at him, Kitasumi sighed deeply.

Then the question came.

What should he do now?

"Sorry, it's all my fault for not allocating time properly."

Returning to the rest area on the 3rd floor, sitting between the two people, Kitasumi admitted his problem.

His attitude of admitting his mistakes was very straightforward, without any hesitation.

This made Hosokawa Shibaizumi and Akiyama Shion blink their eyes and look at each other.

There was no way, this was indeed the truth.

If he had made an appointment with Hosokawa Shibaizumi and Akiyama Shion at another time,

it would not be as hurried as today.

There would be no such so-called "Shura Field" situation.

He simply admitted his mistake and waited quietly for the voices of Hosokawa Shibaizumi and Akiyama Shion to fall.

However, what Kitasumi Shi didn't expect was——

"You don't have to apologize, Shi-chan."

The expected Shura scene like a raging sea did not happen.

Akiyama Shion's voice came out.

She was still as gentle and comfortable as usual.

This was really surprising.

You know, Akiyama Shion had prepared a lot for Christmas and was full of expectations.

But this happened. The other party should be very unhappy.

But looking at Akiyama Shion's gentle expression, let alone anger, there was no sign of unhappiness.

Probably because she saw what Kitasumi Shi was thinking.

Akiyama Shion's eyes were as gentle as water.

"Shi-chan, you don't have to think so much."

Still without any anger, she continued: "Today, Shi-chan accompanied me, and I actually had a lot of fun. Just this is enough, and isn't Shi-chan the same? She made time for me?"

This is the truth.

That is to say, the people who asked Kitasumi Minoru out today were Akiyama Shion and Hosokawa Shibaizumi.

Otherwise, according to Kitasumi Minoru's personality, they would have been adjusted to other schedules long ago.

"But."

Kitasumi Minoru wanted to say something else.

"No buts, Minoru-chan."

Blinking her beautiful eyes cutely at Kitasumi Minoru, Akiyama Shion shook her head obediently and continued to talk on her own.

"I didn't confirm Minoru-chan's schedule. I was the one who suddenly called you, talked on my own, and made an appointment for Christmas. I was still the one who didn't notice Minoru-chan's difficulties. If Minoru-chan made a mistake, then my fault will only be more, not less."

"Uh"

Feeling Akiyama Shion's attitude of "If Minoru-chan says one mistake, then I will say I made 10 mistakes."

Kitasumi Minoru couldn't help but sigh in his heart-this little girl's temper is too good.

No wonder so many directors and producers in the industry are willing to cooperate with Akiyama Shion, whose height is no longer considered a child actor.

Just this gentle, caring, and particularly sensible look, he must be very popular on the set, right?

He was silent and turned his head.

It seemed that Akiyama Shion had completely forgiven him.

Then, next.

Kita Sumire's eyes secretly glanced at Hosokawa Shibaizumi on the other side.

".. What are you doing?"

Hosokawa Shibaizumi, who was already very sensitive to other people's gazes, noticed Kita Sumire's gaze.

Her originally pink face quickly turned red.

Oh.?

Kita Sumire became alert.

Hosokawa Shibaizumi's attitude didn't seem to be angry.

Realizing this, he approached without hesitation.

"Huh?!"

With his eyes wide open, Hosokawa Shibaizumi had never expected Kita Sumire to take the initiative to get so close to her.

Curly black hair, fair and handsome face, and the inexplicably pleasant smell coming from him.

The overly direct contact made Hosokawa Shibaizumi, whose face was already flushed, even more flustered.

She stumbled and fell on the bench behind her.

"Shibaizumi-chan, I'm sorry."

Seizing this opportunity, Kitasumi hurriedly apologized to her.

". Um——"

The tender and pleasant voice was drawn out.

Looking at Kitasumi who was sincere in front of him, Hosokawa Shibaizumi blushed and really wanted to say that the annoying guy was really despicable.

In this case.

How could she not forgive him?

But

"I, I had a lot of fun today, and I didn't mean to blame you! You annoying guy! Stay away from me."

Pushing Kitasumi away with force, Hosokawa Shibaizumi spoke hesitantly.

This is the truth.

No matter what, Kitasumi squeezed out his rest time and accompanied her for a whole day.

She did have a lot of fun.

From the beginning, she was like Akiyama Shion, and had no intention of blaming Kitasumi.

It's just because she is not good at expressing her true feelings.

That's why she held it in for a long time and couldn't say a word.

Now that Kita Sumi was so close to her, her inner thoughts could not stop coming out of her mouth, and her face turned red like a cooked sausage.

And

she raised her eyes shyly and looked at Kita Sumi's relieved look.

Hosokawa Shibaizumi secretly said "idiot".

Because she had one more thing to say.

The only person she didn't want to blame was Kitazumi Minoru.

Yes, there is only Kitazumi.

If it were anyone else.

She probably turned around and left in anger.

Even if it's my sister, it takes a lot of effort to coax her well.

But Kitazumi didn't realize this.

After all, what he is good at is observing words and expressions rather than reading minds.

Girls like Hosokawa Shibaizumi who are about to enter puberty.

His thoughts are like clouds in the sky.

It can't be touched or seen clearly.

If you want to really understand, then someone who can really only read minds is probably here.

But no matter what.

"The best outcome is the best outcome."

Kitazumi was completely relieved.

He originally thought that this 'murderous' Shura Field would end by 'splitting his whole body in half'.

But I didn't expect that both Akiyama Shion and Hosokawa Shibaizumi were unexpectedly considerate.

Not only did she not mean to embarrass him at all, but she also thought about him in every way.

To make up for your own problems.

Kitazumi simply said that he would invite them to go out with him again if he had the opportunity in the future.

But next time it won’t be like this one after another.

Instead, the three of them went out to find a place to hang out.

This proposal was recognized by Hosokawa Shibaizumi and Akiyama Shion.

The relationship between the two of them was already quite good.

In "Natsuko Kidnapped", the reason why Hosokawa Shibaizumi took the initiative to trouble Kitumi Minoru was because she wanted to vent her bad anger on Akiyama Shion.

But who would have thought?

The relationship between the three of them is actually so good.

This is how we make a deal.

Kitazumi sent Hosokawa Shibaizumi and Akiyama Shion to Kusakabe Koko and Sugi Shoko who came to look for them, and then stretched hard.

How was his Christmas experience today?

To be honest.

Although I was a little tired, the overall experience was pretty good.

Wherever Hosokawa Shibaizumi and Akiyama Shion want to go, they will seek his advice first and strive to have a good time.

And in the end, I didn’t mean to blame him. Overall, it was a perfect ending.

that is

Beicheng San looked around.

Looking around, there are couples holding hands and holding shoulders everywhere.

He clapped his hands.

Um! really! No matter how good the experience was, he didn't like Christmas at all.

Things are simple after that.

Kitacumi did not wait too long and returned to the exhibition area of ​​the Tokyo Book Fair to join Kitacumi Arami and the others.

Explanation based on Chiyo Kojima's instructions.

The autograph session seems to have been quite a success.

Thanks to the promotion of Minami Kitazumi's appearance, the sales of "Her and Him" ​​in many bookstores have increased significantly.

Some bookstores are even out of stock.

"With this momentum, it is estimated that reprinting will not be a problem."

Chiyo Kojima asserted as he shook his fists excitedly.

‘Reprinting’ is a professional term in the publishing industry, which means that the first edition of a book is so popular in the market that demand exceeds supply. In order to meet market demand, a new edition needs to be printed by a new publisher.

The first edition of "Her and Him" ​​has a total circulation of 60,000 copies, and it has only been on sale for five days. To be able to sell out in such a short sales time is already the level of a first-class author.

Pricing is based on 1,800 yen per volume and 12% royalty.

This time alone, Kitachi Ariha's income has reached a terrifying 10.8 million yen.

Not to mention that it will be reprinted in the future. This makes people look forward to the sales of "Her and Him" ​​even more.

"Maybe in the end this book will be so popular that it will be adapted into a movie, and I will definitely let Beicheng-kun be the protagonist."

Probably this result is too good.

Chiyo Kojima also laughed and teased Kitumi Minoru.

"Then I'll wait and see."

In response to her teasing, Kitumi just smiled and nodded, but didn't take it to heart.

As a novella, "Her and Him" ​​by Ariha Kitazumi is indeed easy to adapt into a movie.

But I don’t know how long it will take until that day comes.

So he didn't expect much from it.

And he has other things to do than worrying about the adaptation of "Her and Him".

He glanced at the script of "The Reason I'm Here" that he carried next to him.

Kitazumi cheered up.

The Christmas campaign has passed without incident.

So next, his focus will be on this big-budget movie produced by Yingdong Company.

.I shouldn’t have gone to that game. My question, I should type it carefully.
