The moment the record finished playing and the sound faded out, the quiet room seemed a little lonely.
So, Akina Nakamori got up and turned on the TV.
A Fuji TV variety show was playing on the TV, and the noisy voices of comedians filled the living room, and the home seemed to become more enriched.
If you want to liven up an apartment where a person lives alone, turning on the TV is probably the easiest way.
Amid the comedian's complaints and the audience's exaggerated laughter, Nakamori Akina picked up the questionnaire that Shinichi Iwahashi had given in the package and read the questions on it side by side.
Then, she went to get a pen, sat in front of the coffee table, and answered the questions one by one according to the above questions. She filled out the questionnaire carefully, striving to become a qualified shopping street food taster.
…
These students did not stay here for long and came out of the store just after half past ten.
Before leaving, Miao Zi looked around as if he was looking for something.
"Everyone is already here, Miaozi." A male student named Muguchi who was traveling with her joked with her, "Don't worry about forgetting anyone here."
When Miaozi said this, she made a grimace at him.
It was Naruse, who knew exactly what she was thinking, and asked: "Are you looking for Mathy?" Looking at Miaozi's expression, "Didn't you hate him just now?"
"If you hate it, you'll hate it; if you're curious, you'll be curious." Miao Zi said plausibly.
The people accompanying me all looked like they were watching a show where the couple's cross talk was about to start again. However, there was no viewing guide for today's show, so if you don't know the background story, asking questions is the best way.
"What mathy?" Mukou asked.
It was Naruse who answered, "I just saw Mathy here too."
"Xiao Jian saw it."
Miaozi worked hard to create an image of herself not paying attention to Kondo Masahiko.
"He's with a woman." After Naruse finished speaking, he counterattacked calmly: "It was me who saw him, but it was Miaozi who was curious about him."
It came again and again, and the crosstalk between husband and wife continued.
"Being with a woman? I'm so envious." The male student named Jiang Bo who came with him said sourly, "Even for a man like that, there will never be a shortage of women to throw himself into his arms."
"Anyway, he is also a male idol, even though he was once."
"I'm going to vomit." Mukou is also good at making witty remarks.
"Isn't Kondo still a racing driver?"
"It's not like he's a powerful character who can represent Japan."
"After all, he is a male idol. Even if he is abandoned by his sponsor one day, he can still rely on the savings from being an idol to compete with his own money."
"Anyway, the racing track won't file a complaint against him just because he is Kondo." Kiguchi's witticism made everyone laugh again.
When it comes to the ability to make people laugh, these students are not bad. Usually, when it comes to a celebrity artist, it is difficult to agree on their opinions. Only now that Kondo Masahiko is mentioned, the atmosphere becomes harmonious.
Akamatsu Haruko was among them and felt cheerful listening to these jokes.
Naruse went to see her quietly, secretly looking forward to an opportunity to split up and talk to her alone. As a result, Akamatsu Haruko had no intention of continuing to play, but wanted to go home directly.
Naruse moved his lips and was hesitating about what to say. First he was grabbed by Miaozi, and then Kiguchi was added. The three of them were going to change places to play. In short, as long as they could catch the last train.
He had no choice but to say goodbye to Akamatsu Haruko as if nothing had happened. Watching her walk further and further away, only Miaozi's chirping voice and Kiguchi's continuous witticisms were close to his ears.
…
The next day, Nakamori Akina's schedule was full of work as usual.
Omoto came to pick her up early in the morning. Nakamori Akina got into the car, and her assistant and stylist greeted her. The first job of the day was to participate in a magazine shoot. After taking the photos, she rushed to TV Tokyo to record a program.
It's still the kind of variety show where female idols gather together to play games and sing songs.
The recording of the program went quite smoothly. The young female idols gathered together. There was a side where the girls were chattering, and there was also a side where they were divided into small groups, but overall the atmosphere was harmonious.
During the lunch break, the assistant went to help get a lunch box. Akina Nakamori said to her, "I have a favor and I want to ask you to help me, okay?"
"Yes, what are your orders?" the assistant asked.
Nakamori Akina gave her a small smile and said, "Buy envelopes and stamps for me to send to Kawasaki. Please."
"Envelope, stamps of the denomination to be sent to Kawasaki..." the assistant repeated in a low voice in a confirmation voice. Thinking of something, she asked thoughtfully, "Do I also need to buy letter paper?"
"That's not necessary." Akina Nakamori replied.
"Yes." The assistant didn't ask any more questions, murmured what Akina Nakamori wanted again, and left the lounge.
Whenever he is assigned a task, he always acts cautiously for fear of not doing it well. With such a personality, it is probably very tiring to be an assistant running around confirming a bunch of trivial matters all day long.
Even so, the assistant worked very efficiently. He left and came back in a hurry, and brought back all the envelopes and stamps that Akina Nakamori asked for.
Akina Nakamori thanked her, and while she was alone in the lounge, she filled in the Genzo address for the recipient based on the questionnaire given by Shinichi Iwahashi, put the questionnaire in, and sealed it carefully.
The recording started after the lunch break. Before leaving, she handed the letter to her assistant and asked her to help mail it.
The assistant took the letter and took it out without reading the address.
When she handed the letter to her assistant, Nakamori Akina had a strange idea in her mind. She felt like a fan who had sent a fan letter and was looking forward to receiving a reply.
…
Today's job didn't end until seven o'clock in the evening. After working all day, the assistant and stylist got off work. Akina Nakamori also got into the car. Omoto asked her, "Will I take you back now?"
Nakamori Akina said: "I want to go back to the office."
"Go back to the office?" Or is it this time?
She said "hmm" and said, "Suddenly I really want to read letters from fans."
"Huh?" Omoto was a little surprised to get such a reason. Fan letters received by the office will be sent to Nakamori Akina regularly, and the gifts will be given to her after they are processed. However, it is still a bit strange to take the initiative to read the letters.
However, facing her sudden whim, Daben didn't say anything and started the car.
When she arrived at the office, Daben helped her carry the carton containing the fans' letters into the car, and then took it upstairs for her.
After dinner, Akina Nakamori read the fan letters leisurely. Occasionally she saw something interesting and put it aside, planning to write a reply later.
As a way to alleviate her own expectations, she chose to respond to the expectations of others.
