Tokyo's most affectionate

"Chizuru-san, Runa-san, good night."

As Runa Igarashi's car parked in front of his house, Hikaru Kurosawa got out of the car, took the camera bag from the trunk, waved goodbye to the two people in the car, and smiled.

"Good night, sweet dreams."

Ninomiya Chizuru sat in the back seat and waved gently.

"Good night, go to bed early."

Igarashi Runa, holding the steering wheel, also responded.

After saying goodbye, Kurosawa Hikaru closed the car door.

Soon, the car started again and the journey continued.

Hikaru Kurosawa, carrying a camera bag on one shoulder, watched the car go away, then turned around and walked into his home.

…

The next morning, after Kurosawa woke up, he sat in front of his laptop and started editing.

"Mission goal progress update - [Use her as the heroine, shoot a high-scoring MV] achieved."

"[Photography Trip with Ninomiya Chizuru] The four mission goals are achieved, the mission is completed, and the rewards are entry-level computer-video editing, entry-level acting, and entry-level makeup. (Permanent)"

"Is this done?"

Following the system prompts, Kurosawa was a little shocked.

Immediately afterwards, he started playing the edited MV.

"Not good enough..."

Although the finished product looked very good, Kurosawa was not very satisfied.

After making this judgment, he sat on the chair and fell into deep thought, absorbing the changes brought about by the skill of video editing changing from an experience card to a permanent one.

The difference between the experience card and the permanent effect is actually very big.

The experience card of a certain skill is that when you come into contact with a specific field, countless ideas and techniques will emerge.

As for the permanent effect, as long as it is recognized, it can be fully understood.

He doesn't know exactly how powerful an entry-level video editor is.

In his previous life, he was a game fan, and in this life he is a bookworm. He is not very interested in movies, videos and the like.

But most things in the world are not the best, only better.

"Let's go back and remake it."

After fully absorbing the permanent theoretical knowledge, Kurosawa glanced at the files on the computer desktop, recalled the finished MV he had just seen, and made a decision.

Today is Tuesday. Although I have to work as a part-time tutor in the afternoon, it is summer vacation after all, so I still have plenty of time.

Xiao Yuki originally wanted to come and play with him, just like before, but he declined because he had to work.

Although he couldn't bear to reject Xiao Yuki, this girl's mind is very sensitive and delicate, and she can be easily hurt.

However, he felt that it would be more cruel to let Yuki watch him edit Ninomiya Chizuru's first MV, so he had to refuse.

After the editing was completed, Kurosawa opened Line with his mobile phone, hesitated for a few seconds, and then made a video call.

"Kurosawa, what's wrong?"

The video call was quickly connected, and Igarashi Runa's face appeared on the phone screen.

"Miss Runa, the MV has been cut, how can I send it to you?"

Seeing her same attitude and tone as usual, Kurosawa felt relieved and asked.

"Is the haircut ready so soon? Just use the computer version of Line to send it."

Hearing this, Igarashi Runa was very surprised.

"good."

Kurosawa nodded, then held the phone in his other hand, held the mouse and sent the file to her.

Sending files through the computer version of Line is quite normal in Neon. After all, Line is one of the most popular social software among Neon people.

"Speaking of which, I want to check the quality of the finished product...if it doesn't work, just as agreed, I'll hand it over to the editor I know."

Following his movements, Igarashi Runa said after careful consideration.

"I called you just to remember this promise."

Kurosawa Hikaru smiled and didn't care about her ugly words.

"Are you so confident?"

Igarashi Runa was a little surprised when she saw his smile.

"Without diamonds, how can I get a porcelain job?"

"Then I'll just wait and see the finished product... Are you going to have a tutor this afternoon?"

"Yes, what's the matter?"

"It's okay. If you go to tutor, Miss Ichinose should be free, right?"

"She said she was reading at home today... Do you have anything to do with her?"

Kurosawa Hikaru thought about the contact in the morning, and after answering, he asked.

Because she couldn't come to play with him, she went out to play again yesterday. Xiao Yuki worked hard and decided to read seriously at home to catch up on her junior high school homework knowledge.

"After Ms. Ichinose signed the contract, there has been no announcement of the event. I want to have a formal interview with her to discuss the specific development direction... Do you want to wait for you to come with me?"

"No, she has the ability to think independently, and with you helping her make arrangements, I feel more at ease."

"If you say so, then I will follow my own steps."

"And don't rush to sign the contract and make announcements. Later, I will shoot a MV for her to make her official debut and then make plans."

"I understand. We have plenty of time. I plan to test her basic skills first to see her talents and strengths."

"Then you can contact her directly later."

"good."

"correct……"

After talking about Xiao Yuki, Kurosawa Hikaru suddenly thought of hugging her waist last night and said suddenly.

"What?"

This sudden turn aroused Runa Igarashi's curiosity.

"Forget it, let's wait until I go to the office tomorrow to talk about it."

Kurosawa Hikaru thought for a while and felt that it would be better to talk about this matter face to face.

According to his schedule, he is going to meet with the person in charge of the advertising endorsement project of Cat Carnival tomorrow to further finalize the content and shooting of the advertisement.

"Having half-spoken words is not a good habit." Igarashi Runa glared at him with resentment.

"Didn't you do the same thing last night?" Kurosawa Hikaru smiled and countered.

Maybe half-talking is indeed impolite and can easily offend people...but hiding important things behind messaging apps and mobile phones is even more impolite.

"I……"

Igarashi was speechless.

Maybe it was because he mentioned last night that the atmosphere suddenly became silent even through the phone.

"Did the reception succeed?"

After a while, Kurosawa Hikaru asked when he saw that the file transfer of the computer version of Line was completed.

"You've uploaded it over there, I've just started receiving it."

Upon hearing this question, Igarashi Runa responded.

"All right."

Realizing this situation, Kurosawa Hikaru nodded.

Compared with Tencent's QQ and WeChat, Neon's most mainstream Line has less user-friendly and convenient functions.

For example, the read reminder function has even extended a lot of attention to the social habits of Neon people.

Especially if you don't reply after reading it, it is very impolite and very offending.

"Speaking of which, do you have any idea about the songs on the album?"

Because the two people were silent and dull even though they were on the phone, Igarashi Runa took the initiative to pick up the topic.

"Now that I have an idea, I'll find time to draw up the score, and then I'll go to the office to record it."

Speaking of this, Kurosawa Hikaru thought for a while and responded.

The night he pretended to sleep in the office, he indulged in memories and used the melody and beat of the piano to find the music he had heard in his previous life.

A proficient piano player with such talent, he can play all the famous piano music.

For example, Liszt's "The Bell" was a famous piano piece that he didn't have to recall. Even though he had never heard it before, the moment his piano skills became entry-level and permanent, the score was engraved in his mind. inside.

For example, he is also familiar with various playing techniques and techniques in the history of piano, even almost instinctively, and he can use them easily.

In fact, he has the ability to compose, but he is too busy and has no time to calm down, enter the musical ocean of the piano, and compose his own songs.

No matter what, his plan is to bring the famous piano music he heard in his previous life to this world.

After all, it would be a waste for such a beautiful song not to be heard in this world.

"When will it be next?"

"Before the end of the month."

"Then I'm looking forward to it."

Realizing this situation, Igarashi Runa was a little excited.

"good."

Seeing her very happy look, Kurosawa Hikaru was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that Miss Runa was always present during his piano performances and was always the first listener.

Even on that amusement park date, even though he wanted to dedicate piano music to Chizuru, such as "For Alice," Miss Runa was also present.

"Speaking of which, how long do you plan to perform at the end of this month?"

"Any suggestions?"

"Piano concerts in the industry usually last about two hours, which is about the same time as a movie. The performance is divided into the first half and the second half. For example, the first half is 45 minutes, the intermission is 15 minutes, and the second half is 60 minutes... The specific duration will vary from person to person, it depends on your plan. After all, we are the organizer, as long as the fans and audience can feel that the ticket price is worth it.”

"I'll compile the track list first, and then I'll tell you after calculating the time."

When Kurosawa Hikaru heard this, he thought about it and said.

The first piano concert is also the first official performance at Zero Hour, so it must be carefully considered.

"It's best to make a decision as soon as possible. Under normal circumstances, live performances such as concerts, concerts, stage plays, and plays need to be preheated half a month in advance, or even promoted for a month...

Even if we start promoting today, it will be at most one week in advance, which is relatively late.

By the way, we also need to promote the concert... I will draw up a plan later and start promoting it today, and then I will promote it through the new MV. "

Igarashi Runa reminded him, and then realized that he had a lot to do.

She didn't need to worry about this kind of publicity in the past.

After all, Fantasy Office has a clear division of labor, with various departments and experienced teams. She mainly runs business outside, holding the information of her artists, contacting and communicating with various brands, running announcements together, and further helping the artists on site. .

"Don't worry, I can give you the setlist on Thursday."

Seeing that she was getting more and more anxious as she talked, even a little annoyed, as if she was blaming herself for why she only remembered it now, Kurosawa Hikaru comforted her.

After all, maybe he was affected by the feeling of being anxious. He thought about his arrangements for this week, and suddenly found that he had more things to do than usual, and it was quite difficult to allocate his time well.

For now, the to-do list includes meeting with advertisers to discuss matters, piano music scores, concert repertoire, and going on a date with Yuki and Mirai at the beach.

There are also new MVs and new songs to be released, and they will probably have to wait for the premiere results together at the agency.

Even more, if you think about it in detail, he hasn't bought Chizuru's exclusive slippers yet.

And his date with Mirai, through the revelation of the mission objectives, Mirai seems to want to watch the fireworks, so he must be fully prepared.

"Okay... The reception is complete, I'll take a look at the MV first."

At this time, Igarashi Runa successfully received the file.

"Take your time to read it."

Although he was aware of various things to do, Kurosawa Hikaru still remained calm and tried not to rush himself.

After that, Igarashi Runa put his phone aside, stood up and left.

Not long after, she came back, and she appeared on the screen again, first wearing a pair of headphones, and then started to watch.

The piano piece Adeline by the Water is 2 minutes and 38 seconds long, not too long or too short.

But even with such a specific time, when people are waiting idly, even one minute will feel long.

With so much time, nothing can be done, and Kurosawa Hikari can only wait. Through the video chat camera, he can only see the side face of Igarashi Runa wearing headphones and her reaction to watching the MV.

"It seems that she is very satisfied."

Looking at her side face, seeing her right eye staring at things outside the camera, suddenly widening, and then suddenly shrinking, as if attracted to it, serious and fascinated, Kurosawa Hikari's mouth corners can't help but curl up an arc.

I have to say that Miss Runa is really charming.

A person's charm is not only determined by the superficial appearance of appearance, but in all aspects.

Although she has short hair that is capable and handsome, her beautiful and delicate facial features are gentle and charming, perhaps because of her oval face.

Handsome and beautiful, gentle and considerate, sexy and mature, infinitely tolerant, serious and smart at work, virtuous and hardworking big sister at home, this is the feeling she gives people.

Even though there are many beauties around him, whether it is Xiao Yuki, Mirai, or Chizuru, his aesthetic threshold is raised very high, but he still thinks Miss Runa is a great beauty.

In the final analysis, it is because she is an excellent woman who shines from the inside out.

"Kurosawa, your editing is too good, isn't it?"

Not long after, Igarashi Runa finished watching the video, turned around, and looked unbelievable.

Although her audio and video editing level is very low, that is, the level of cutting out the tidbits... but as a gold medal agent, she has been in the industry for many years and has a strong appreciation of MV.

This MV obviously has no lyrics and lines, but under the lens language and the performance of the model, it seems to tell a story.

When a song has a picture and performance that matches it, it will burst out with the power of 1+1 greater than 2.

"How is it, are you satisfied?"

Seeing others' exclamation will make people feel satisfied, and so does Kurosawa Hikaru, who smiled knowingly.

"Satisfied, very satisfied! This MV will definitely be a big hit... When will we release the video?"

Igarashi Runa nodded frantically. Now she had an extremely strong premonition.

"You think about it. I don't really understand the timing of publicity."

"Saturday, midnight."

"Okay, I haven't had lunch yet, let's talk about this first."

After deciding on this matter, Kurosawa Hikaru glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen and found that the time was 13:48, so he said.

"You haven't had lunch yet? Then go quickly, I'll go and meet Miss Ichinose."

Igarashi Runa was stunned when she heard this, and realized that he was probably busy all morning, so she urged him.

After waving goodbye to her, the video call officially ended.

"Done."

Putting down the phone, Kurosawa Hikaru sat back in the chair and couldn't help stretching.

He woke up early in the morning and started editing at 7:30. He was busy all morning and finally solved the MV issue.

Although there are still a few days before the release of the MV, he has already done everything he can do about this new MV, including yesterday's shooting, today's editing, and even the piano music he recorded before that.

Next, he just needs to wait for Miss Runa to promote and officially upload this new MV.

After solving this problem, Kurosawa Hikaru closed his laptop, went to the bathroom again, and went out.

Because he was alone at home, he planned to go out and deal with things like eating casually, without being too particular.

…

Tokyo's Shibuya District, as one of the 23 districts, is known as the street of young people and is very lively 365 days a year.

"I'm going to buy shoes after dinner. Can I meet Miki-sensei while buying shoes?"

Walking out of Shibuya Station, Kurosawa Hikaru looked around and saw a lot of people. He suddenly muttered to himself.

It should be said that he and Miki Shiraha seem to have a special fate.

So far, he has met Miki-sensei four times.

Maybe this number seems small, but in a city as big as Tokyo, being able to meet four times is actually a lot.

In this world, there are countless couples who, after breaking up, are separated from each other and never see each other again.

Even if they are in the same city, it is very common for them to never see each other for a lifetime without either party deliberately creating opportunities.

Maybe he thought so, but Kurosawa Hikaru quickly took steps to avoid leaving Shibuya and going somewhere else to buy shoes and food just because of this situation.

Walking alone on the streets of Shibuya, aware of the possibility of encountering him by chance, Kurosawa Hikaru's eyes couldn't help but look around at everything around him.

He has very conflicting feelings and opinions about Miki-senpai.

Kurosawa Hikaru was afraid of meeting her because he knew very well how hurtful the message he sent that day, in order to make Miki Baiyu give up, and he didn't know how to face it.

Kurosawa Hikaru wanted to meet her by chance because he wanted to see how Miki Shiraha was doing now and also wanted to see that special fate again.

Walking through the streets of Shibuya, although I deliberately want to pursue it, it is difficult to encounter acquaintances in the vast sea of ​​​​people.

"Well, what's the point of looking for her now?"

Kurosawa Hikaru walked for a long time before he realized what he was doing. He realized that he was worrying about gains and losses, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Suppressing his mood, he randomly picked a shop on the roadside and went in to eat.

Perhaps because he still didn't want to give up, he subconsciously found a seat by the window where he could see the street.

When a man is alone, he always eats casually. Only when he is with his girlfriend, will he deliberately eat more expensive, exquisite, delicious and delicious dishes.

Kurosawa Hikaru was like this. He casually ordered a piece of soba noodles that were easy to digest, and soon waited for the waiter to bring it to him.

"Suck~"

Although soba noodles are not ramen, in Neon, it is a etiquette to make noise when eating noodles. Kurosawa Hikaru was not polite and bowed his head to eat noodles openly.

After eating a few mouthfuls like this, the system's voice suddenly sounded in Kurosawa Hikaru's ears:

"Mission error."

"?"

Hearing these words, Kurosawa Hikaru, who was eating noodles quietly, couldn't help but be stunned, and a huge question mark appeared in his heart.

what's the situation? He was just eating noodles, how could the mission go wrong?

However, the system ignored his surprise and just said without emotion:

"The mission is being revised..."

"Mission correction successful."

As these words rang out, several lines of words appeared in front of Kurosawa Hikaru's eyes.

Date mission: [A trip to the skating rink with Miki Shiroha]

Mission goal: [Meet at the skating rink] [Let her hold your hand and skate together] [Surprise her] [Let her kiss your face]

Mission period: 1 month (remaining time: 11 days, 9 hours, 37 minutes and 48 seconds)

Mission funds: entry-level skating, entry-level dance-ballet (experience card)

Mission rewards: entry-level skating, entry-level dance-ballet (permanent)

Seeing this date mission, Kurosawa Hikaru was stunned, suddenly realized something, and raised his eyes.

As soon as he raised his eyes, he found outside the glass window wall, a girl with white hair like snow, wearing a white dress, with a slender figure and a bag in her hand, looking at him with complicated eyes.

Her complex eyes seemed to contain countless emotions that were difficult to describe.

"Miki Shirayu?"

Seeing this girl's appearance, Kurosawa Hikaru was stunned and extremely surprised.

Although when he came to Shibuya, he vaguely felt that there was a special fate between him and Miki Shirayu, and they would always meet by chance.

But when things actually happened, it still made people feel caught off guard.

As their eyes met, Miki Baiha, who was walking on the sidewalk outside the window, suddenly came back to his senses and took a step back, as if he suddenly reacted.

Immediately afterwards, Miki Baiyu bent down and bowed deeply to him. This action seemed to be an apology. Then he stood up straight, turned around and walked away quickly.

"Wait a moment."

Seeing this scene, Kurosawa Hikaru came to his senses and subconsciously wanted to stop her.

Because he didn't look back after shouting, Kurosawa put down his chopsticks, stood up and chased after him.

"Guest, I'm very sorry, you haven't paid yet."

However, when he ran to the door of the store, the clerk stopped him with his hand.

"Here you go, no need to look for it."

When Kurosawa Hikaru heard this, he took out his wallet, took out a thousand yuan denomination and handed it to him, then turned sideways and walked out of the store.

However, when he walked out of the store, based on his memory and impression, he ran to the sidewalk facing his seat and looked around. The white silhouette was already far away.

"She's running...she's avoiding me?"

Seeing this scene, Kurosawa Hikaru thought of Miki Shiraha's apology-like bow just now, and his footsteps seemed to have taken root, making him unable to keep up.

The mission went wrong, and this was the first time he encountered this situation.

But compared to this unexpected situation, the mission correction, and the reappearance of the date mission, he was even more stunned.

what does that mean? Miki Baiyu was deeply hurt by him. After she gave up, just meeting him again, did her feelings rekindle uncontrollably?
