[bulletproof SUGA] SUNAO

"elder brother……"

【“…”】

"I am afraid."

【“…”】

"They, again..."

【“…”】

"in argument."

Uh, the sun is so dazzling, the sight slowly recovers, and the hearing is... so noisy, why are there so many people?What are they talking about?what is it call?By the way, where is it?

"Uncle, are you free now?"

"Huh? Uncle?" Although I am not young anymore, I can't just call me uncle?Shirase sat up, "Yes?"

"Will you put on sunscreen for us?" A girl held sunscreen and smiled as brightly as the sea sun in the background.

...wouldn't it be nice to ask your friend to help you?I could see her smiling from a distance.Shirase frowned helplessly.This kind of whole person method is disgusting.Whoever can throw this woman away will be fine.

"Hey! Are you blind? Don't you see me here?"

"Uh, yes, I'm sorry." The girl looked up behind Shirase, and immediately turned and ran to her friends who were playing by the sea.

"Hiragi?" Shirase turned her head and saw a woman in a black bikini approaching and sitting beside her.

"You really don't have eyes, are you ignoring me?"

"The girl ran away when she saw you."

"It's probably because I look too scary." Hiiragi propped his chin with one hand, "But she actually called you uncle, it's so funny."

"I wish I was younger."

"It has nothing to do with age. Kashii Yuu married Odagiri Joe and I didn't look at the age... I didn't look at it either."

Shirase lowered his head and smiled.Is she still thinking about it?

Three days ago, Shirase got Sugawara's permission to go on a short vacation, change places, and adjust his bad mood.I went to Okinawa for a week, and I also wanted to take the opportunity to reject the blind date.but……

"In that case, Hiiragi also wants to go out to play recently, so you can play with her in Okinawa for a few days? Is that okay? Shirase-kun." The gentle voice of the blind date's mother on the phone broke Shirase's heart.

Mrs. Shirase was holding a rolling dough and smiling...

"That would be great, please let Ms. Suzuki come with me..."

Damn, now, I don't even want to enjoy the holidays.

"Great, now, the two things have been done together. And the probability of success is still high. Do you want to be nicer to them?" Mrs. Shirase showed her rolling pin again to show her authority.

"Yes……"

Really, I could still enjoy the feeling of loneliness, but now I have to take the eldest lady around.Shirase sat in the restaurant of the hotel, thinking while watching the night view.Is this going to end?

The other party is the eldest lady of a medium-sized company, and she can't be messed with yet.Especially when my father explained it when he left.That company has a very good relationship with the company he works for, so if she is slightly unhappy, my father will lose his job.

Why is such an important task given to me?Can't you find the son of the boss of a bigger company?what am i

"Good evening." Ms. Suzuki arrived wearing a wine-red tube top skirt and ultra-fine black high-heeled shoes, and pressed the rich golden leather bag on the table with a "slap", "I am Suzuki Hiiragi." By the way, she dyed it dark blue medium length hair.

"..." Although Shirase had no expression on his face, he had already burst out laughing in his heart.The girl looked very young at first glance.Compared to the girl's excessive attire, Shirase was only wearing a more formal dark blue shirt, "Ah, good evening, I'm Yuaki Shirase."

"Ah," Suzuki lit a cigarette, "I knew it earlier."

"Sorry, this is a no-smoking area."

After Suzuki heard it, he pressed the cigarette into the ashtray in embarrassment, "Hmm."

This kid is so interesting.Shirase couldn't cover her mouth, so she suppressed her laughter in her heart.

After eating, Suzuki spoke first, "Are you making movies?"

"Video clips? Yes."

"now what?"

"Ah, I'm resting right now."

"Tch, it's still not that good." Suzuki took a sip of his wine, "I hate Hollywood movies. The ending is so perfect that it's not believable at all. I also don't like our movies, which exaggerate the facts, are too empty, and have no practical meaning .Your job is the same. Don’t you just edit the shot together? How difficult is it? As long as you can operate it? The so-called supervision is just a supervisor. In fact, the whole crew’s supervision is the last thing you need. No. To actually operate, but to direct. It is estimated that there will be no movies, and even eating will be a problem.”

"You don't like watching movies?"

"In the final analysis, isn't the film the meaning of the supervisor and producer?"

"..." Shirase held his forehead, and found it amusing at first, but now he is tired of it, "You don't have to hate everything to prove that you are not a child. If you do this, men younger than you may be fooled. But A man who is older than you will know that you are pretending as soon as he hears it."

"..."

After Shirase finished speaking, she regretted it.This will definitely make her unhappy.Did I hurt her self-esteem too much?Want to say something apologetic?

"I don't mean anything else. I just want you to pay attention. You may be deceived by other people."

"...you hate me?" She raised her eyes, looking at Shirase's expression, like a fox in defense.

Too bad, you have to say something nice.Shirase quickly smiled, "Strictly speaking, I don't hate you, but I'm not used to your behavior."

"Hmm," Suzuki motioned Shirase closer, and whispered in his ear, "Actually, I don't want to pretend anymore. It's too tiring to talk like that. Thank you."

After Suzuki sat back in his seat, he showed a childlike smile, and the annoying aura he had been holding on just now disappeared in an instant.She looks much more accessible now than before.

But no matter what, as long as she is in a good mood!Shirase immediately fired five or six firework bombs in his heart, "Oh...hehe, I actually prefer girls to show their original appearance. I don't know what other people think, but I don't like being cheated very much."

Suzuki put down his raised legs immediately, and laughed with his mouth open, "It's really uncomfortable to hold back like this. The sitting posture is also very tiring."

"Why did you do that?" Shirase thought that what he asked might be impolite, and hurriedly added, "I thought you should have someone you like, and you came to this kind of place just to deal with your parents."

"I have a crush, but my parents are very dissatisfied with that person, and I haven't had a deep relationship with him."

Shirase who understood Suzuki's expression immediately nodded and smiled.

"What's the matter with you?" Suzuki took a sip of his wine, "Why did you come to see me? Isn't it embarrassing to talk about your age?"

"I don't really want to get married. I don't know why I just don't want to..."

"After you really become an uncle, no one will want you anymore."

"If that's the case, it's fine. In this way, my mother won't find so many people to help me introduce troublesome blind dates—ah, it's not that you are troublesome, Miss Suzuki, but, for me, it's a bit... "

"For me, you are also troublesome."

"...Hahaha." Shirase smiled wryly.Not a lady who eats soft food.

After eating, the two went to the beach for a walk.Because Suzuki said that he was afraid that going back to the room after dinner would increase his fat.Although she has a lively personality, she is a woman after all.

"Mr. Shirase," she approached Shirase, "are you so gentle with all women? Or are you pretending?"

"Gentle? Me?" Shirase put his hands behind his back, "I don't think I'm such a gentle person. My colleagues say that I'm particularly scary when I get angry... It's not gentle, I'm more able to control myself."

"Is it the same for the family?"

"I can control the surface, but I can't control the heart... especially sad things."

"I know you have a sister. She's about my age? You treat her the same way? Gentleman, honestly?"

"...Why are you asking me this?"

"You think too much, I don't mean that. I just can't believe you, especially what you said just now, let me be careful not to be deceived. I'm afraid you are lying to me."

"..." Shirase lowered her head and smiled wryly twice, "I caused trouble for myself...my sister, she is not as smart as you. She is very simple and nice to everyone...someone even lied to her, She doesn't know either."

"You lied to her?"

"It's not that I lied to her... it's someone else. I'm just for her, but obviously it's superfluous," Shirose said to himself, "I've become less important in her heart. Not that important in anyone's heart In the eyes of my mother, father, sister, and the supervisors who worked with me... I may have lost value, not as valuable as when I was a child."

"Then find people who regard you as important, or find ways to create value and become important. The surrounding environment will not change."

"..." Shirase stopped and looked at Suzuki who was some distance away from him.Originally, Suzuki was wearing mature clothes, coupled with what she just said, Shirase even wondered if she was just acting.

"Brother, I'm scared. They're fighting again." Wen closed Shirase's room door, "I'm cold."

"It's okay, come here."

Wen pulled a corner of the quilt, walked to Shirase's bed, and asked Shirase to hug her up, "They had a quarrel so badly that mom broke the plate."

"The plate is broken? Then we can go buy it tomorrow."

Wen got into Shirase's bed, "Also, Dad broke the door lock."

"As long as the gate is locked, no thief will come in."

"What if they quarrel too much and get up late tomorrow and don't have time to send me to kindergarten?"

"...I'll take you there."

"Mr. Shirase?"

"……what?"

"Why are you in a daze?"

"Sorry, what were we talking about?"

"All! Tell me! Do you want to participate? The baseball game, Sora and they said it's a competition. You can play first base. Wakamatsu is sick today, and Goro is going to play third base."

"...Not today. My uncle wants to take me to the movies." Shirase continued to pack her schoolbag.

"Tomorrow is okay? We really need people. Do me a favor, Shirase."

"I'm really sorry, you go to see if there are still people in the other groups, I'll go first." After speaking, the person really disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"You run really fast... What, are movies more fun than baseball?" The boy who asked Shirase scratched his head.

"My dad often watches it at home, the kind of big sister Lu with super big bo waves." A boy scratched his stomach and said naturally.

"..."

"I often watch the works of Director Shirakawa." Suzuki continued excitedly after hearing about the works that Shirase participated in, "especially "Digital Heart". I also bought a disc, watched it once and cried three times."

"Crying three times... How touching is that animation?" Shirase propped his chin with one hand, looking at the coastline, "Director Shirakawa doesn't want to write a touching love story at all. He just wants to know, virtual characters created with digital programs , whether it is really possible to simulate human thinking. But he struggled with the result of two quarters——no."

Both of them fell silent, sitting on the stone steps, looking at the coast and the beach...

Suzuki suddenly became very mature, gently pulling back the blown hair with one hand, "But I still like his work. I can feel his fear, like a frightened child, wanting to be hugged .It’s not the commercial kind, but his human touch is very fascinating. Especially after "The Invisible Lover", I feel that he has changed and is no longer so cold."

"It's changed. He joined a better company." Shirase said in an unpleasant way.

"I feel like he's in love."

"...they fell in love, and then..."

"What is falling in love? Brother."

Shirose looked at Wen and twisted his face for a while, "Uh..." He couldn't say that he had a relationship like that of his parents, that would make Wen establish the concept that love is quarreling, which is not good for her future love affairs.How do you explain love to a 6-year-old?Shirase looked up again at the poster of "Howl's Moving Castle" in the theater corridor.

"Like us?"

"Of course not. That is, ah, that is, a person who is not related to you by blood, not like parents, me, or uncles and aunts, but who will dedicate his life to you. You will miss too That person, even us."

"I will never do that. My parents and you are the most important people to me." Wen's eyes were so firm that even Shirose believed that Wen would always be by his side.

"……Thank you."

"The core of this story is a moving castle." Shirase expressed with a very performative gesture, intending to tell this complicated animation movie to Wen.

"How do you know?" Wen grabbed a handful of popcorn.

"I went to see it with my uncle last month. Dad didn't have time, and my mother said that the Women's Federation had a meeting."

"Yes... what else?"

"Do you want me to spoil it?" Shirase pouted and frowned, "That girl was turned into an old woman by a witch. So she left the town... that's right here, just that fat woman in black , she is the Witch of the Wasteland. Sophie entered Howl's castle in the Middle Valley. Howl is the one with the yellow hair just now, and he will turn into purple hair later, you can see it..."

"I know, they're in love? Boys and girls? What about boys and boys? Girls and girls?"

"..." Shirase opened his mouth wide and blinked his eyes, "...let's continue watching."

【"Don't open the door, I have a very bad cold, it won't be good if I infect you."

"What a horrible sound. Like a 90-year-old woman."

"I'm going to have a good rest today."

"Really? Then I'm leaving."]

"Don't open the door. I have a very bad cold. It won't be good if I infect you...I'm going to have a good rest today..." Shirase quietly imitated the voice of Chieko Baisho in the auditorium.Wen was listening and couldn't help laughing.

"Brother, how many times have you watched it? Can you recite all the lines?"

"Unconsciously……"

The brothers and sisters were watching in the projection hall, watching and watching, both of them became quiet, no one said a word anymore, they were all intoxicated by the frame by frame of the animation...

【"Hal, Calcifer, I'm Sophie, wait for me, I will definitely find you, wait for me in the future..."】

"...Brother," Wen patted Shirase's shoulder lightly, "Is that love?"

"Can you say that?"

【"Let's go, Yinyin, let's go. I don't know why the tears can't stop... Sorry, I'm so slow, Hal has been waiting for me..."】

"Then, will I have my own Mr. Hal in the future?"

"Surely there will be."

"...Then, will my brother also have Miss Sophie?"

"Yes, I have."

"Well... I really want to grow up quickly! Hal is so handsome! Scarecrow too! Calcifer is also interesting. I want to fall in love too!"

"Wait! Wen! This is a movie theater!"

Shirase looked at the warning eyes of the adults around him, smiled wryly twice, and pressed Wen on the chair.

"He definitely has a lover!" Suzuki stared at Shirase fiercely, as if to force Shirase to believe his words, "Yeah. Because, the ending of "Digital Heart" is not that Hill and Liz are separated Is it? But "The Invisible Lover" ended after confirming the other party's love, and the ending is also very positive. The love between Pena and Luke in "Hat Jerry" was also successful."

"Probably. From what you said, it seems that Director Bai Chuan has indeed changed a bit. When I worked with him before, I always had a sad face and didn't want to go home. In recent years, he always ends work early."

"Really? That's right!" Suzuki smiled with his arms crossed, "Although Supervisor Bai Chuan's face is a bit weak, but in terms of works, I really like him... that person is not good," Suzuki suddenly She lost her smile, as if she remembered something bad, but she immediately cheered up again, "Tell me more about him!"

"I like Hal the most!" Wen was kicking his feet back and forth on the tram going back, "Sophie is so kind and gentle, Calcifer, Scarecrow, Maruk... I want to travel in that magic castle too Ah~"

"That's impossible. Animation is drawn by humans. If it is really possible, there will be no need for humans to draw."

"I really don't have a dream, brother."

"Because, the school is fundamentally different from the one in the anime. The senior students often bully the younger students. The high school and junior high school students from other schools will come to steal our money. Only the movie theater can relax for a while... If I have to say it, I like "Spirited Away" better."

"What?"

"It's also the work of Master Hayao Miyazaki. My cousin has a lot of discs of his works, and I have watched them all. You were still very young, so my father only took me to watch them. I will let you watch DVDs later."

Wen continued to eat his candy, "Brother, will he become that kind of person in the future?"

"Me? Impossible? Because my drawings are disgusting. To be honest, I don't know what I can do... Well, there is always something I can do."

"Editor?" Wen took the ice cream scoop out of his mouth.

"Well, editors don't need to draw." Shirase's cousin took out a book related to movies, "Editors are professionals who combine the various shots in the best way. Miyazaki Master Shun's official editor is Mr. Takeshi Seyama. Isn't your surname Shirase? Is it a kind of fate?"

"That's too far-fetched, sister."

However, it might be interesting...

.

"On the day of "Song of the Sky" winning the award, I hugged Baishui and Yuta and cried (Supervisor Shirakawa was not present because of the company's work, very regrettable.). When my sister gave me advice that day, she certainly did not think of this moment Right. Those 5 years were really wonderful. Although it was a life like hell, but on the day of the screening, sitting in the auditorium was like heaven. I..."

"Who the hell are you?" The young man opened the door after finding the spare key to Shirase's room, "I've already called the police! You broke into our studio without permission... Hey! Let me tell you! Did you hear it?"

"Suga has always been by my side. Although I really want to say something thankful to him, but I can't say it at the critical moment. Can this kind of words be said casually? Or is it particularly difficult for me? What?..." What are you struggling with?It's not the point at all, is it?

"Hello! Huh?" The young man rushed to the window, opened the door, and saw two men in uniform riding on their own and ringing the bell downstairs.

Is anyone here?Min Yoongi raised his head, stood up, and looked out of the window...
