[Black Basket] The male protagonist is the captain

"Protect someone who almost brought down the LME?"

"I really have nothing to talk to you about."

Ryugu's reaction was also very surprised, just like Aihua's words, full of surprise that "you still need my protection".

She's a delicate girl.

When she got out of the elevator, Hitomi was still arguing with Aika about whether she needed protection or not, she casually slid her finger on the password area of ​​the doorknob, opened the door and was about to walk into the house.

But after spotting the bag at the door, the girl stopped briskly.Knowing what it was almost instantly, Hitomi picked up the bag and finally hooked the door with her foot.

"Aihua, do you think your mother will regard the national girl brand as a gift you bought for her?"

Aika paused there.

"Have you got water in your head?"

"Who knows." Hitomi smiled: "But if I believe it, I'm really out of my mind."

While saying this, Hitomi wandered to the living room and stepped on the trash can, throwing the things with the stickers on them into it.

"Then, should we talk about the launch of ComicMarket?"

ComicMarket, Japan's largest ACG doujin exhibition, is held in summer and winter respectively. Due to the unexpected influence of people in the industry and outsiders when it appeared, ComicMarket has become a must for all manufacturers every year.

Especially after the miracle of Aika and "Dream Tensei Town".

Hitomi doesn't pay much attention to the ACG industry, but every ComicMarket will discuss the details with Aika - after all, it is the main battlefield where she and Aika made a blockbuster success, and it is natural to defend the place where she started.After all, if there is a new work that surpasses Aihua under her nose, Hitomi, as a partner, will also find it unattractive.

"There's nothing to look forward to, except my work."

Aihua thought about the announcements released by other manufacturers: "Of course, I haven't paid attention to Chun Aixiang or Gal."

"In fact, the second direction didn't pay attention, Aihua."

When the call was pressed, the girl sighed faintly, then climbed to the side of the piano and lifted the piano cover.A few hours of practicing the piano makes it rare to not think about other things, and can focus on the beating of the notes without worrying about those other things.

It's just that practicing the piano is also very exhausting.

After coming out of the bathroom, Hitomi turned on the computer and checked the forum, and saw the pre-sale promotion of Buposhang's album.Leaning on the chair and wiping his hair while looking at the face of the yellow-haired boy who almost occupied the entire screen, Hitomi thought that this person actually looks good.

It's a pity that the chin is too sharp and the attitude is too bad.

For example, when we met in Chishi just now, the way that person looked at her was really unpleasant.it's like...

Staring at prey.

After seeing a lot of great feedback on the album on the forum, Tong closed the webpage contentedly and flipped through the calendar.There are not many things in the next month, but they are all important one by one.

For example, ComicMarket will be on the evergreen talk show with Aihua; for example, the new full contract with Chishi and the plan after the agreement signed with LME expires; for example... the final exam.

Σ(｀д′*ノ)ノ

"Senior, please help me"

"Huh? Did something happen? ——Information from Reiko-chan"

"If you want to take the exam, there will be no swollen notes┳┳"

"This matter, last year's notes... are at Tieping's place. Just ask him for it~—the information comes from Reiko-chan"

Senior Muji?

As soon as Hitomi thought of the answer "My grandparents like you very much", a complex emotion ignited in his heart.After the hair was almost blown, the girl still struggled for a while.

"Tetsuya, notes..."

"Hitomi-san, you forgot that I borrowed your notes to read it before. ——The news comes from Tetsuya"

Lying on the bed dejectedly, the 2.5-dimensional idol buried his head in the pillow angrily.

I know that the little angels in life are sometimes unreliable!

Hitomi finally dialed Muji's number.

Don't ask her why there is.

"Hey?"

Unexpectedly, the person who answered the phone was not Muji.That gentle and kind voice, combined with the comment of "my grandpa and grandma like you very much", immediately concluded that this female elder was the grandma of the owner of the mobile phone.Stiff for a moment, not knowing what to do, Hitomi finally cleared his throat.

"That... hello. Excuse me, is Senior Muji here?"

"Tieping is washing the dishes. Wait a minute, shall I call him?"

"Hey, thank you for your hard work!"

Hitomi raised the corners of her mouth slightly when she heard the slow footsteps over there, and the unhurried call.

Do you do the dishes?So virtuous.

Then Hitomi heard Grandma Muji's voice that was deliberately lowered but still not small.

"It's a girl, Tieping."

Muji froze for a moment.

"Ah, is it, Reiko?"

Glancing at the mobile phone grandma handed over, Muji froze when he scanned the contacts, and then quickly took the phone.

"Thank you grandma, I'll go out to answer the phone first."

Seeing her grandson hurried out the door, Grandma Muji sighed.

"Lizi's phone calls are always answered by Tieping at will."

Then grandma walked into the living room with a smile: "Old man, change the channel back."

"Hitomi-san's phone call is really surprising."

"Hey, I also feel a little reckless." Tong asked while combing her hair, "Did you bother Senior?"

"No."

Muji leaned against the door: "Is it about taking notes? Lizi called me just now."

"um, yes."

Since entering Seirin, Hitomi hasn't taken much class, so now she can only make up for it with notes.In fact, it is not impossible to find a tutor, but I feel that it is not necessary to rely on my past glorious history, and I don't want to let rumors of "delaying my studies because of my entertainment career" appear.

"So when do you need it, today?"

Hitomi hesitated.

"Does senior have time?"

"It's a rest day, and I'm not busy." Muji's voice was very hearty.

"So……"

Hitomi thought about where to make an appointment, and opened the closet by the way: "I will trouble seniors."

The station is not a good place.

Because people come and go and dragons and snakes are mixed together, it is often difficult to achieve the purpose of waiting for others-even if you make an appointment "I will wear a red dress", but after countless girls and pseudo-mothers who also wear red dresses appear in front of you, you often wait until The anxious feeling will make people feel very catchy.

So a used bookstore on the corner next to the station would be nice.

Muji found it quite smoothly. After entering the door, he looked in the corner and saw a girl standing by a certain bookshelf at a glance.Her black hair was tied into a ponytail and hung down her waist, with a little natural curl.His skin was abnormally pale under the sun, and when he looked closely, he had a transparent light.

"Hitomi-san?"

The person who was called was stunned for a moment, turned his head with a peaked cap, and showed a relieved expression when he saw Muji.

"Hello, senior."

Muji took two steps and saw the book Hitomi was reading just now.

"Is this the first edition of... The Return?"

Hitomi nodded, touched the spine of the book with the hand that took off the hat: "Yeah, I really didn't expect to see it here."

The author has passed away, and there is news that a TV series will be filmed soon. The first edition of "Return" has been fired to a very high price.After looking at the brand, Muji expressed difficulty in accepting the above price.

"It's much more expensive than the original price."

"It's worth the money, after all, this set is well preserved now." Hitomi took out a copy and flipped through two pages: "And there are no creases. It has been nearly ten years since it was published. When it came out, the original owner kept it very carefully. I just don’t know why it was sold to a second-hand bookstore.”

The girl's voice was a little pity, she seemed to like it very much, but after hesitating for a while, she put the book back.

"Hitomi-san seems to like it very much...won't you buy it?"

"I really want to buy it, but there are more than 40 copies in total, how can I move it, senior?"

A set of books almost occupied a row of bookshelves, and Muji found that this was indeed a big problem: "What about the express delivery?"

"With my current identity, express delivery is still inconvenient. The address was leaked once, and it turned out to be a bit troublesome."

Muji remembered something: "Is it that incident?"

During the lawsuit with LME, fans of LME artists once sent very annoying things, and finally even brought trouble to the neighbors.The solution to the problem was that the security system of the entire building was upgraded, and Hitomi's own home was ordered by his father to install a fingerprint lock and a 24-hour monitor.

Hitomi’s expression was a little bad, but he still didn’t want to give up this book—the new version of “Torrent” has been deleted and edited a lot for various reasons. If you want to read this work as it is, you should Must be the first edition.

"Then buy it." Muji suddenly started, rubbing Tong's hair: "I'll help Tongsang deliver to the door."

"Eh?" Hitomi was dumbfounded for a moment, a kind of ecstasy spontaneously arose, but she was still polite: "It's too much trouble for senior."

"Because Hitomi-san seems to want it too much." Muji said, "So if you can help, of course you will."

"Senior is such a good person~"

Holding a bag of books, Hitomi smiled and praised the seniors of her school, but did not see the boy who was holding the other three bags stop.With the joy of returning home with a full load, the girl turned around while walking, and finally attracted the attention of others.

Then she obediently suppressed the joy radiating from the inside out.

"Speaking of which, Hitomi-san bought this book because he wanted to act in that play?"

"The seniors also know?"

"I also know how to read magazines." Muji thought for a while: "I remember that the popular candidates for the male lead seem to be Tsuruga Ren and Kishima Hideto."

Hitomi nodded: "All of them are artists from LME."

This is why she needs to negotiate with the LME to plan after the agreement expires.

Thinking of this, Hitomi was still a little breathless, but he didn't show it.Just now, taking a shortcut into the park, Hitomi glanced into the distance and pointed in one direction.

"Senior, the ice cream at that store is super delicious. Let me treat you~"

Then without waiting for Muji to answer, Hitomi dragged Muji over there.

Thank goodness no one was there, Hitomi pressed her hat and ordered two ice creams.With vanilla in one hand and chocolate in the other, Hitomi didn't realize a problem until he was hesitating which one to eat.

These are the flavors she likes to eat.

"Senior." Hitomi looked at Muji who had just put the book on the bench: "Choose a flavor."

Muji casually took the vanilla, but was forced to stop halfway by the nervous eyes of Hitomi.After switching to chocolate ones, Muji found that Hitomi's eyes didn't change much.

Everything is the same.

There is a villain here who steals ice cream from others.

Noticing Muji's embarrassment, Hitomi also realized her faux pas just now.After struggling for a moment between the two ice creams, Hitomi stuffed all the ice creams into Muji's hands.

"Both taste very good, seniors, take them and I'll buy them again!"

Then before Muji could reply, the 2.5-dimensional idol went back again, bouncing back with the same double copy.

"So Hitomi-san is going to play Rei Shiina, right?"

Muji, who has also heard about the "Return" series, put down the paper cup: "Heroine."

"If you want to act, you must start with the heroine. This is my request to the company that I have never let go of." Hitomi leisurely dug half a spoonful of vanilla and half a spoonful of chocolate, and stuffed them together. Mouth: "This is also the reason why the full contract was delayed until now."

Of course, there is also the factor of not trusting Chishi, but these words are not convenient to say to Muji.

"I thought it was because Hitomi-san was involved in the plagiarism incident and Chishi was indifferent, that's why he refused to sign the full contract with Chishi."

Hitomi looked at Muji in surprise: "Senior...you really know a lot."

"Didn't these things just go through the forum?" Muji didn't think it was big news at all: "I had nothing to do in the hospital at that time, so I would pay attention to these things and then tell my grandparents."

Choking on the ice cream, Hitomi felt that the emotion she had bred had been completely dispelled by the last sentence.

It seems that she is really liked by Muji's grandparents.

"When the incident came out, I didn't think that Hitomi-san was really plagiarizing. Before Hitomi-san held the press conference, I was worried. After all, the LME has dominated the entertainment industry for a long time, so whether it can withstand the pressure or not." Muji talked about the past: "But... fortunately, Hitomi-sang not only survived, but also turned around very well."

"That's what I said, but I really worked hard at the beginning." Poking the ice cream, a trace of unknown emotion flashed in Tong's eyes: "Even Di Guang's classmates doubted me, that feeling is really true. very sad."

Thinking of that stage, Hitomi involuntarily fell down.Muji didn't know how to comfort her, but after a while, Hitomi jumped ahead and smiled again.

"Fortunately, it's over." She stood up and took a deep breath. "There is still an apology statement on the homepage of LME."

With a little pride, the girl tilted her head.

"My journey is the sea of ​​stars, and the LME can't stop me."

Muji was silent for a moment behind her.

"Hitomi-san."

Hitomi turned around and looked at Muji with a puzzled expression.

"Are you hurt?"

"No."

Natural Hei obviously didn't believe what Hitomi said, and said honestly: "But... it's bleeding."

"Ok?"

"Hitomi-san, your leg is bleeding."
