The progress of the night's work was smoother than expected. Normally, one would feel tired after working until late at night. However, because one's nerves were strained all night, at this moment, the fatigue was mixed with an inexplicable excitement.
As soon as the rehearsal was over, the backing band members started planning to go have a drink.
The assistant handed the towel that she had prepared to Nakamori Akina, and watched her put the towel on her face, and then took it away after a while. Compared with the way she was on the stage just now, Akina-san's pressure was two points lower now.
...It felt like the brightness of the lights would be turned down a little late at night. A strange metaphor came to her mind. She watched Akina Nakamori take away the towel and handed over the water bottle with the straw on it.
.
At this time, the people in the accompanying band raised their voices and struck up a conversation, "Akina-chan, everyone decided to have another drink -"
The members of this accompaniment band are mostly Nakamori Akina's regular collaborators in the past two years. For the 10th anniversary tour starting next month, on the basis of the fixed collaborators, several new members have been recruited, forming a total of 20 members.
The duo's band and vocal team.
Although every year's concert is carefully prepared, this year's battle is extra big.
However, Akina Nakamori was not interested in having a drink. She raised a hand and waved to that side, "I'll forget it." She refused without thinking. After a whole night of rehearsal, she didn't get over it at all, but even more.
I am mentally excited and just want to take off my shoes and take a nap against something warm. This kind of thinking is like a kitten.
The staff went to call taxis for everyone who decided to liven up until seven in the morning, and worked as temporary workers for the wealthy Yanyin. The office made very thoughtful arrangements for the band team.
Akina Nakamori went back to the lounge and sat there, watching the assistant pack things. Occasionally, she would lend her hand to help and put something into the big bag that should be called a duffel bag.
The old manager Ben prepared the car, and the assistant followed Akina Nakamori that way. She looked at her watch, remembered, and said to Akina Nakamori, "The broadcast that Iwahashi-san participated in is not over yet." She gave her daily instructions.
Nakamori Akina and Iwahashi Shinichi were working as sidemen, so it was their duty to know Nakamori Akina's itinerary, and they also had some knowledge of Iwahashi Shinichi's itinerary.
Moreover, the host of the radio show where Shinichi Iwahashi was a guest was a handsome guy. Although he worked in the entertainment industry and saw a lot of celebrity artists in private, it did not dampen the assistant's enthusiasm for chasing stars.
"However, it's almost over..." The assistant's tone showed some regret.
Omoto heard the assistant mention that Iwahashi Shinichi had a radio show tonight, and joined in the fun, "Would you like to listen to Iwahashi-san's broadcast?"
Nowadays, the old manager's attitude towards Shinichi Iwahashi has changed drastically. He has changed his attitude in the past where he kept silent when mentioning Shinichi Iwahashi and had nothing to do with him. But sometimes the fun is too casual, which in turn offends Nakamori Akina.
He and his assistant couldn't help laughing.
The assistant's regret was definitely not because he couldn't hear Iwahashi Shinichi's speech on the radio.
"I don't want it." Nakamori Akina quickly refused, "Wouldn't it be weird?"
Daben was stunned for a moment, unable to guess why it was strange, but once again he realized deeply that he was already a talkative Ogissan.
The assistant, on the other hand, couldn't help but laugh after hearing what Akina Nakamori said.
…
Akina Nakamori got into the car, took off her shoes, curled up into a ball, and immediately yawned.
At this moment, Shinichi Iwahashi's broadcast was about to end. When she got home, Shinichi Iwahashi should still be on his way back. Thinking of this, she suddenly felt that it would be better to take a nap against something warm.
premature.
The journey home from the rehearsal venue was not short. Sitting in the car that was moving smoothly, Akina Nakamori fell asleep unknowingly. Drowsily, her consciousness drifted to a few days ago, after finishing work, and Iwahashi Shinichi.
When going on a date.
At that time, I went to a bar with Akiko-san and chatted with the bartenders. The proprietress of the store was as eloquent as Akiko-san. After a while, I called Shinichi Iwahashi who was off the radio.
Go have a drink with him in that shop again, his reaction will be very funny.
Shinichi Iwahashi is like this, so serious that sometimes people can't help but tease him.
However, when I think of that day, I remember that Iwahashi Shinichi wanted to get rid of her. Until the end of that day, Iwahashi Shinichi did not answer her questions.
Now, Nakamori Akina would no longer think that Iwahashi Shinichi would exclude her if something happened. Therefore, even if Iwahashi Shinichi did not answer her question in the end, she was not unhappy because of it. She thought to herself that it must be inconvenient.
things to say.
Akina Nakamori also hoped that her lack of peace of mind at that time was actually because she thought too much. However, she always felt that she was not so lucky.
When she was about to arrive home, she didn't need an assistant to wake her up. Akina Nakamori came back from her drowsiness, raised the curtains, and looked out the window. The mix of sleepiness and unsatisfied sleepiness made Nakamori Akina feel
Dizzy.
She sat upright, cheered up, and tried to get rid of the sticky feeling.
Suddenly, the cell phone in her bag rang. The sudden ringing startled Akina Nakamori, and she woke up from the sticky sleepiness.
The assistant turned her head and reminded her, "Akina-san, it's your phone ringing."
Akina Nakamori took out her cell phone and answered the call.
"it's me."
On the other end of the phone was Shinichi Iwahashi's voice.
Nakamori Akina immediately became more energetic, "Shenichi? Have you finished your broadcast?" She thought about teasing him, and said that she had worked hard all night. When he had nothing to do with her, she would ask him to call again.
What are you here for?
"It's over." Iwahashi Shinichi replied. However, his voice on the other end of the phone was too serious, and Nakamori Akina suddenly couldn't say what she was thinking.
This feeling of being at a loss for words made Nakamori Akina feel awkward, and she always felt that something was wrong.
However, Shinichi Iwahashi on the phone did not take care of her emotions, nor did he give her time to speak. "Now there is something. I think you should know it first no matter what."
"I'm listening." Akina Nakamori's tone was so firm that even she herself was unexpected.
She originally thought that she would follow Shinichi Iwahashi's mood and listen to him silently. However, Shinichi Iwahashi's serious tone inspired Nakamori Akina's courage.
She had the courage to face it with him - no matter what it was, but she didn't feel like she was making a fuss out of a molehill.
