[bulletproof SUGA] SUNAO

"...Okay, at the end of the show, let's take a look at this week's single list. Please!..."

The end of April.

"Huh? Movie version?" Shirase put down his teacup, took off his earphones in disbelief, turned his chair and looked back at Makoto Sugawara, "Sahara?"

The woman sitting across from Shirase put on her headphones and turned up her voice.Now we are talking about the Oricon Ranking... Where is my Mr. Ryota?How many Mr. Ryota?

"Well, it has been decided to produce it. It is estimated that the news will be announced next month. Be happy! Just now Mr. Shimomura called and said that the editing work of the theatrical version of "Sahara" is still entrusted to you."

"...May I cut something that has already been made once?" Shirase lowered his eyes, showing a reluctant expression.

"This is a big job! And, this time..."

"Wow! This week's No.2 is BTS's "Return feat. Minsheng" released this week! Mr. Xianzhi (a member of TIMEGOESBY), congratulations...and No.1...Everyone of BABYBOYS, "Loving"! Congratulations!"

"Hey~ No way! Ryota-chan..."

"Shiramizu Chika's performance and Shirakawa Mamoru have changed positions." In the cold air, Mr. Sugawara's words were like icicles piercing into Shirase's heart.

"!"

Realizing that something was wrong with the atmosphere behind her, the female staff member took off her earphones, turned her chair around, and looked at the two of them, "What's wrong?"

In early November.

"This time, um, thanks to everyone's contribution, the TV version of "Sahara Dream" is very, um, popular. Moreover, the distribution company also, um, decided to make a theatrical version. Hey...haha, let me say a classic This is the end as well as the beginning." Bai Chuan raised his glass, "Then, firstly, I would like to congratulate the success of the TV version of "Dream of the Sahara"! Then I hope that the theatrical version of "Dream of the Sahara" will be successful this time! Cheers!! "

"cheers!!"

"Then! Please, the director of the theatrical version - Zhijia Baishui, hey... say a few words."

"Yes." Bai Shui stood up holding his wine glass.

The man sitting next to Shirase stopped Shirase's shoulder, "Double protection! The two of them!"

"..."

"Huh?" Seeing that Shirase didn't respond, the man turned his head, "What's wrong?"

"Hey...it's a great honor to be appreciated by Mr. Someya and the president, and to be the supervisor of the theatrical version of "Sahara Dream" "Far Missing"...Director Shirakawa, now, um, help me organize the script... ...Each part must also be confirmed. Well, finally, I feel the pressure from Supervisor Shirakawa... I hope my debut work will not disappoint everyone, thank you, please give me your advice."

As soon as Bai Shui finished speaking, the producer, Supervisor Bai Chuan and others pulled her out.Because it is the pre-production stage of the theatrical version, the supervisor, the script and the heads of various departments are all busy, even at the celebration party of the TV version of "Sahara Dream".

Shirase looked at Baishui whose expression changed as soon as he finished speaking, and smiled.Sure enough, Bai Shui is the most handsome only when he is working.

"In my opinion." The audio supervisor was drunk and started talking nonsense, "Bai Shui is still a girl, and Bai Chuan is not that good either!"

"Mr. Yoshida, the two of you are standing outside the door." The sound mixing assistant next to him really couldn't stand the supervision.That's what this guy looks like when he's drunk.

"You think so too?" Yoshida pointed at Minsheng who was refusing the women's questioning, "You think so too, right? Those two brats! They are not qualified to be supervisors at all! If it weren't for that fat man Imaizumi is too embarrassing... ..."

While rejecting the women, Minsheng sat next to Yoshida, "Yes! Yes! We all know the supervisor's selfish intentions. Let's not talk about Supervisor Baichuan, and Supervisor Baishui will definitely—"

"What! You have already started calling that hairy girl supervisor?" Yoshida snorted, and glanced at Baishui, "Huh? Do you like that type? Ah~ I really can't understand you kids! Shintaro-kun is the same , let so many good women in the world not pursue, and go to find such a psychopath."

This man was really drunk and started talking about everything.But... Minsheng looked back at the women who were far away from him, and turned back happily.

"Supervisor," Minsheng swallowed what was in his mouth, and rummaged through his bag, "I'm going to hold a concert in a few days. Can you come?"

"Whose? Yours? Give me the ticket." Yoshida took the ticket without looking at it, and just rubbed it into his pants pocket.

Seeing that Director Yoshida didn't pay much attention to it, Minsheng sighed, turned around and looked at Shirase who was sitting behind him.

"Will Shirase go?" Minsheng grabbed Shirase who was about to get up to go to the bathroom, "It's rare. I sent tickets to many people in the university class, come on."

"Ah... alright." Shirase took the ticket, folded it up and put it in his pocket, and got up to go to the bathroom.

"Director Yoshida, I—ah, fell asleep."

"That's why he drank too much." The sound mixing assistant next to him propped his head on his hands helplessly.

"Minsheng! Shizi said you already have a girlfriend, really?" As soon as the supervisor fell asleep, the women came back.

"Huh?" What the hell is that bastard talking nonsense!

"It's disgusting! You're hiding it from my sisters." The woman took a sip of beer, "What does the other party do? An artist?"

Shirase, who came back from the toilet, felt very tired looking at Mingsheng who was surrounded by women.Sure enough, at this age, everyone's attention is on this.Speaking of which, Minsheng is older than me, and he doesn't have a girlfriend, nor is he married... But, he is more successful than me.So his family is not in a hurry for him to get married, and his sister who is a few years older than him is not married either.Two years ago, his sister became a famous producer in Hollywood... There is no need for these two people to get married, right?

Thinking of this, Shirase looked up at Baishui outside the sliding door again...

The banquet finally came to an end late at night.Those who were still sober went home on the last bus, those who could walk walked, and those who were far away from home were driven home by those who hadn't drunk.

"Persimmon! You are too heavy! Hey! Who else is there? Ah! You! Come here!" The director of photography saw Shirase putting on his shoes, so he quickly stopped him, "Get me drunk on this The bastard lifts the car up!"

"Yes!"

"Eh?" Shirase walked up to the wooden floor, glanced at Baishui and Bai Chuan who were standing outside leaning against the door, "You two, don't you want to get in the car?"

"No, you can go first. Someone will come to pick us up later." Bai Shui didn't drink much because he kept talking to the producer and Supervisor Bai Chuan.

"Shintaro is back?"

"Well, I just came back a few days ago."

"……Oh."

"They're so slow." Supervisor Bai Chuan stood on the side of the road and watched. In fact, he didn't need to do this at all. "Zhe, would it be too much trouble for him to pick me up so late? If it weren't for the car not being able to squeeze, I would I don’t want someone to come pick me up in the middle of the night.”

"It's not because you sneaked away at the celebration party before and frightened Zhe."

"because I……"

"You have to be responsible for what you do. Mr. Bai Chuan."

Before Shirase walked towards the station, he heard Director Shirakawa's happy voice behind him, and looked back at them.A taxi stops in front of the hotel.A tall man got out of the taxi and walked towards Baishui.What the two said, Bai Shui didn't appreciate it very much, he lowered his head and closed his eyes without looking at him.Director Bai Chuan leaned on the window of the co-pilot, said a few words to the person sitting in the co-pilot, and then hurried to the back seat.

"..."

The next day.

"Is it the beginning of the year? I see. Then as long as you confirm the time, I can start work at any time." While recording the director's request, Shirase confirmed the time on the phone calendar, "...it should be fine, as long as you send the data Alright, I'll edit right away."

"That's really helpful." The producer wiped off the sweat from being nervous, "Because of the time, many people don't want to take this job. That time just happened to be the time when everyone went home for the New Year."

"My parents live in Tokyo, so it's no problem. It may be a bit rushed, but it's our job after all."

"That's great, Supervisor Kisaragi, someone is willing to pick it up."

Kisaragi Tadayoshi looked at Shirase with scrutinizing eyes, feeling a little playful, but in Shirase's view, it was very uncomfortable.

"You, have you only edited animations before?"

"Ah? Yes. Although I edited low-budget films with my colleagues, I was only in charge of the software operation. The only time it was directed by the director." It turned out that I didn't like my resume and wanted to change people.

"Want to be a supervisor?"

"Hey?!"

"Supervisor Kisaragi! What are you talking about!"

Kisaragi looked at Shirase very seriously, "Do you want to own the work?"

"I didn't, by the way, suddenly said that, I also..."

What does this supervisor want to do?

"..."

"..."

"I just do what I have to do."

"..."

"..."

"That's good," Kisaragi relaxed and leaned on the sofa, "The young editors I worked with before were either conceited or thought they could direct me, and they didn't take me as a director at all. I hate that This kind of young man, talking nonsense when he shouldn't interrupt."

"……Yes."

"Ha, that's great. Phew~" the producer breathed a sigh of relief.Wipe off the sweat with a towel.

Sugawara, who was standing outside the editing room, looked at the three people inside and frowned.If you cooperate with that kind of supervisor, Shirase will also grow.Just don't get his bad habits.

"I'm back, good evening." Shirase said hello to the landlord, and walked towards the elevator.

"Mr. Shirase! Please wait!"

"Yes?"

"Something……"

"You Zhang!"

"Uh! Dad?"

Mr. Bai Lai came out of the landlord's room, smiled and mentioned the gift he brought, "I'm back."

"……what."

Shirase opened the door, found a pair of slippers from the dusty shoe cabinet, patted the dust, and put them in the entrance, "What's wrong, you came here suddenly."

"Your mother has been thinking about you all day long. Ever since—" Mr. Bai Lai looked at the dirty slippers and picked them up, quite helplessly, "It's really a bachelor's home."

"Because I'm very busy at work every day," Shirase blushed slightly, taking the gift bag, "Also, everyone only chats in the izakaya, and rarely comes to the house."

"Where are the girls?"

"kindness……"

Is it for this matter?

Thinking of the day when he went home with his bag because of his recklessness, Shirase's brain was paralyzed for three seconds, and then he hurried to the kitchen to pour tea for Mr. Bai Lai, "Then, why did you come here?"

"It's not a big deal, I just came to see you. I went to the boss's birthday party just now, and when I came back, I remembered that your home is here, so I came here."

"Then why is there this?" Shirase opened the paper bag and took out the box inside, "What is this?"

Mr. Shirase did not sit down, but walked around the Shirase house.Because Mr. Bai Lai was very busy with work, he never came to see the house where his son lived.Mrs. Shirase came here a few times, but she always got into trouble with Mr. Shirase and didn't tell him the situation.

"The boss gave wagashi. The old woman said that sweets would make her fat. Well, she is already so fat anyway. Wen is not at home, and I don't like sweet things. Let me eat it for you."

"A rich man." Shirase looked at the packaging of high-quality wagashi, and the corners of his eyes twitched a few times.Then he put the box into a paper bag, lifted it to the desk, and watched his father looking around for treasure, "What are you looking at?"

"Ah~ Sure enough, young people know how to live. With such a good house and a beautiful girlfriend, your life will be complete! But, you can't do that kind of old woman! If you find that kind of woman! I I will sever ties with you! Do you understand?" Mr. Shirase's expression was quite determined.

really……

What advice would a man give to a man who fights with his wife every day?Look at him like this, this morning, he was arguing very fiercely with his mother.

"That, Dad, I thought you would understand me. I don't really want to pursue that kind of life, and I don't know what kind of woman I like."

"Me too," Mr. Shirase sat on the bed, very disappointed. "When I was young, I was urged by my parents to marry that old woman. Ah~~ Now that I think about it, I regret it!!"

"Don't you know that too?"

"So, happiness requires waiting. Because waiting is very difficult and painful, happiness is very precious. You have to learn to wait and wait for the moment when happiness comes."

"Isn't mother happy?"

"That old woman is not my happiness! My real happiness is you and Wen." Mr. Shirase glanced at the surprised Shirase, took off his coat and tie, and lay on the bed. The beginning of real happiness in my life. Because when I hold you for the first time, I feel a once-in-a-lifetime happiness. I look at your face happily and think, 'This is my son!' , 'expecting you to grow into a great person', well, all good expectations."

"Then, aren't you disappointed seeing me like this now?"

"Disappointed? Well..." Mr. Shirase thought for a while, "I'm a little disappointed. Because you are the eldest son, you don't know how to compete, and in order to consider the feelings of your mother and sister, you have to know how to endure. When I see you, I will It feels like you're not like other kids, especially after college."

"Uh!"

"Children like you are easy to manage, but there are also bad things." Mr. Shirase took off his glasses, "Don't worry, no matter what, you are the son of Yukiyo Shirase and me, and this cannot be changed. We Will always trust you."

"……dad."

Before going to bed.

"Speaking of which, Dad, why are you here?"

"Haha, actually, don't make fun of Wen and the old woman, they think you like men. I'm so nervous at home! But I'm too embarrassed to tell you, so they forced me here, hahahaha~~ You said these women What the hell are we thinking? Huh?"

"..."

Owada-kun, you said something very interesting.Shirase looked at Mr. Shirase with a smile, but he was thinking of different things.

.

"I just said it! That man can't do it! You still have to be with him!"

"Koshiro," the man put his hand on the woman's shoulder, "let him handle his affairs."

"But!"

"Shouldn't we trust our own son?"

"Oh! . . . But, but . . . "

"Let Yoongi talk to him, okay?"

"..."
