Shinichi Iwahashi and Ayumi Hamasaki returned home together. Before getting off the bus, the girl took Shinichi Iwahashi's bag as if snatching it away and carried it in his hand.
She talks as if she wants to confront him, but when she sees something that can help, she will never stand idly by. Ayumi Hamasaki, a girl, is so awkward that onlookers marvel.
"We're back."
Entering the entrance, Shin Iwahashi handed his coat to Akina Nakamori who came to greet her.
Ayumi Hamasaki couldn't wait to tell Nakamori Akina: "I stayed in the company all night to sort out the letters from the audience, Akina-san." She said, "Although Iwahashi-san asked me to go to the company to help, in fact, he didn't even think about letting me do it.
Something."
She acted coquettishly and complained a series of words to Akina Nakamori, but when she saw that Akina Nakamori didn't react much to her words, as if she had received an invisible rejection, she immediately stopped talking.
On the other hand, Iwahashi Shinichi said to her, "Don't underestimate letters from viewers. In today's era, those who still send letters deliberately are loyal supporters."
Hamasaki gave him trouble: "But there are also many letters of criticism."
"Isn't it true that someone who deliberately writes a letter to criticize is not loyal enough?" Iwahashi Shinichi's tone was a bit teasing, more like teasing her than refuting her.
Hamasaki Ayumi couldn't say no to Iwahashi Shinichi. He raised his eyelids and saw Nakamori Akina's slightly unhappy expression. He suddenly walked to her side and clung to her. Even Nakamori Akina was surprised by her sudden move.
The girl who seemed to be on fire went upstairs, and Akina Nakamori brought the teacup to Shinichi Iwahashi.
The couple sat across from each other in the living room, and Shinichi Iwahashi told her: "I went to see Mitani-san tonight and apologized to him. When we went to Hokkaido, he came to the company with invitations to film and performance events."
Nakamori Akina asked him: "Do you want Ayu-chan to stay in the company to sort out letters?"
Iwahashi Shinichi nodded, and then talked about Mitani Yuki: "My meeting with Mitani-san happened unexpectedly, and I didn't have time to arrange for her..." Nakamori Akina listened obediently, knowing that Iwahashi Shinichi had never thought about arranging what Hamasaki Ayumi would do in the company.
Work.
But this just proves that Shinichi Iwahashi has a sense of fatherly responsibility to this young girl.
"Shinichi is very worried about Ayu-chan." Akina Nakamori said.
Iwahashi Shinichi did not notice his wife's subtle attitude and replied: "No matter what, I found her in Fukuoka." Because of this, he felt that he had a deeper responsibility for Hamasaki's future, which was a blank slate.
Akina Nakamori asked: "Even without Shinichi, wouldn't Ayu-chan come to Tokyo?"
"That's what I said." Shinichi Iwahashi suddenly realized his wife's hostility towards Hamasaki, and showed a surprised expression. Akina Nakamori saw the change in his expression, but she felt as if she had been stabbed.
Slight pain.
"Ayu came to Tokyo because of me. It has become a fact." Iwahashi Shinichi continued slowly. He probably felt that this conversation was boring. In the second half of his words, he revealed the boredom of not wanting to be entangled anymore, "Ayu longed for
You, this is her precious place."
"Precious?" Nakamori Akina was surprised by her husband's choice of words.
Iwahashi Shinichi told her, "It would be a pity if she didn't have such a strong desire to be you."
Akina Nakamori felt some unspeakable jealousy because of the girl's declaration that she admired her. However, when Shinichi Iwahashi talked about Ayumi Hamasaki admiring her, what he revealed was his appreciation and love for his wife.
.
Realizing this, Nakamori Akina felt something pressing on her chest, which could not come up or go down. Could it be that the jealousy that troubled her came from her own imagination?
As if in a panic, she blurted out: "I would rather have my child be like me."
Iwahashi Shinichi was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that when chatting about Hamasaki Ayumi, Nakamori Akina would bring the topic to the child. Nakamori Akina also realized her gaffe. The two of them were shocked by what they said and couldn't help but look at each other.
Iwahashi Shinichi looked at Nakamori Akina and said, "It would be great for our child to be like you." He whispered, but Nakamori Akina did not get comfort from his words.
After moving into their new home, the couple began to look forward to the birth of a new life. However, Iwahashi Shinichi could not understand Nakamori Akina's dissatisfaction with him showing his father's concern for a girl.
She suddenly felt aggrieved, her eye circles were sore, and she turned away.
The puppy Kenta ran over, stopped at the feet of the couple, looked around, and bit the hem of Nakamori Akina's skirt. She lowered her head and heard the footsteps and the voice of another girl.
"Good evening, Iwahashi-san."
Iwahashi Shinichi talked to Utada Hikaru: "I didn't see you when I came back just now. I thought you were asleep."
"You came back early today, before the child's bedtime."
Shinichi Iwahashi smiled helplessly. He didn't expect that a child would appear when the atmosphere between the couple was tense. But thinking of what Akina Nakamori said just now, he couldn't feel happy about this.
Being suddenly interrupted by something, causing the atmosphere to suddenly change, is not a solution, but an avoidance.
"How is Hikari doing at school?" Shinichi Iwahashi asked. Although Utada Hikaru is younger, he has fewer things to worry about than Ayumu Hamasaki.
Utada Hikaru blinked his sly eyes and asked, "Do you also want me to work in the company?"
"If I let a ten-year-old kid work for me, wouldn't I be a devil?" Iwahashi Shinichi was amused by her words and did not pay attention to the ridicule in her words.
Utada Mitsuji had a point, "You can take in one minor, or you can take in two, right?"
Iwahashi Shinichi was about to speak when he suddenly realized that if he refuted this sentence and refused Utada Hikaru to go to the company, he would deny the existence of Hamasaki Ayumi who later came to the house. But if he acquiesces to Utada Hikari's fallacy, GENZO will change sooner or later.
Become a youth activity center.
This child, I really don’t know if he said it accidentally or on purpose. Shinichi Iwahashi had nothing to say, so he simply shut up. The two girls who stayed at home were not economical.
Even Nakamori Akina couldn't help laughing at the conversation between Utada Hikaru and Iwahashi Shinichi.
But for Utada Hikari, she didn't have that subtle feeling.
…
Iwahashi Shinichi went to take a bath, but he was not in a hurry to rest. He sat under the lamp, reading while waiting for Akina Nakamori. After a while, he felt the moist breath approaching him and raised his head.
Nakamori Akina sat down next to him. When she opened her mouth, she told him: "The office received the script sent by Mitani-san."
Iwahashi Shinichi suddenly heard her mention such a thing and was confused for a moment. Looking at his reaction, Nakamori Akina realized that Iwahashi Shinichi didn't know about this. Realizing this, she felt a subtle sense of relief.
She told him, "Shinichi mentioned it before, Mitani-san wants to write a movie script about killing her husband."
