After spending New Year's Eve in her hometown, Okada Yukiko decided to return to Tokyo in three days. Then, before the holiday was over, she would go out with her classmates in Tokyo.
Last night, she spent New Year's Eve with her big family in Nagoya. Her mother made the food boxes for the New Year's dinner. After the meal, the whole family gathered together to watch the Record Awards and the Red and White Song Concert, and even sang on a home karaoke machine.
Just listening to her talk on the phone makes me feel lively.
"I watched Dreams e True's performance and cheered for the band in front of the TV."
"Really?" Iwahashi Shinichi was very happy, "Thank you."
"My mother likes the song "Future Vision ii" very much," Yukiko Okada said, "However, because she wanted to keep it a secret, she didn't let her know that Dreams e True is actually Iwahashi-san's band."
When she said this, she couldn't help but laugh when she recalled how her mother was curious about the identity of the man under the giraffe's hood when the band came on stage on New Year's Eve.
Watching the band's performance with her family, but she was the only one who knew the true identity of the Giraffe Man. While Okada Yukiko was keeping the secret, she also felt a different kind of fun.
"And Akina-san, her stage performance this year is still handsome and beautiful..."
After talking about the band, fan girl Okada Yukiko praised Nakamori Akina as usual to Iwahashi Shinichi, "Our whole family first watched Akina-san's performance at the Grand Prize. It's amazing to be able to enter the hall."
Last year, the year before last, Okada Yukiko was so happy for Nakamori Akina's three consecutive championships.
Iwahashi Shin couldn't help laughing when he heard the tone of her fan girl, and asked, "Have you called Nakamori-san?"
"I'll call you later... Akina-san is going back to her hometown today." Yukiko Okada knew her schedule well.
As soon as she talked about Nakamori Akina to Iwahashi Shinichi, she thought of the incident that felt wrong before.
After being reminded by her friends, Okada Yukiko recalled how Iwahashi Shinichi sent her and Nakamori Akina home, and intuitively realized that the two of them were already very familiar with each other in private.
"Iwahashi-san," Okada Yukiko asked, "will you go back to your hometown in the first month of the year?"
Shinichi Iwahashi told her, "I'm going to Osaka on the 5th, and I'll go back to my hometown when I get back from Osaka."
"Um……"
"What's wrong?" Iwahashi Shinichi asked.
"Can we meet when I return to Tokyo?" Okada Yukiko said, "Mom also prepared some local products for Iwahashi-san and asked me to deliver them to you. Thank you for your continued care."
Okada Yukiko was working part-time at Iwahashi Shinichi's production company when she wasn't studying. Naturally, her mother knew about this.
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and said, "That's too polite." After thinking about it, he asked her, "When will you be back on the third day?"
"I booked a ticket for 2:40 p.m.," Yukiko Okada replied.
Iwahashi Shinichi suggested, "I don't have any plans from today until the 4th. How about I pick you up at the station and have dinner together in the evening?"
I felt embarrassed to receive gifts without saying anything. Anyway, I was bored eating alone, so I happened to call Okada Yukiko.
Send her back, have dinner, and take away the local products prepared by her mother.
"I'll call you on the day of departure." Yukiko Okada happily agreed.
…
This year, Akina Nakamori returned to her hometown as usual and gathered with her family.
Despite all the unpleasant things that happened, because her mother was still there, the relationship between the members of this family, although precarious, was still in danger. It was her mother's thread that tied her to her family members.
Her mother prepared Tusu wine for her, and her brothers and sisters-in-law also welcomed her. During the New Year, the whole family watched happily, except for her younger sister Mingsui.
When Akina Nakamori arrived home early in the morning, she met her sister Akiho going out.
When she saw her sister, her attitude was not bad, but she was a little weird. She said hello hastily and went out.
Akiho Nakamori's photo album, after being hyped up by gossip magazines as a "sister" gimmick, had impressive results for a newcomer in the first week of its release, but it plummeted from the second week, with
At the same time, this photo album appeared in large numbers in medieval bookstores.
People who bought the photo album can’t wait to get rid of the photo album.
From the beginning to the end, Akina Nakamori ignored her sister's release of the photo album and acted like "Akiho's life has nothing to do with her."
And in the past year or so, she first won three consecutive Grand Prizes, and then proactively announced that she had broken up with Masahiko Kondo. The independence she showed, and the unflattering impression she had left on the audience on stage, actually made people look for similar people.
People who went to buy a photo album somewhere, but after opening it, they confirmed the fact that Nakamori Akiho and Nakamori Akina are completely different things through a flattering Nakamori Akiho.
Who is Nakamori Akina's sister? Looking at the photo album, she is just one of the many third-rate photo models on the market, and she just happens to have the surname Nakamori.
Once it is fundamentally denied, this photo album promotion strategy will completely fail.
She didn't hesitate to become a photo girl, and wanted to disgrace her sister, but in the end, it didn't even affect her in the slightest.
The cruel reality made Nakamori Akiho both painful and embarrassed. She wanted to take more revenge on her sister, but she was also hesitant to give up.
I don’t know how to face my sister, and I don’t know how to treat my sister.
This year, Nakamori Akiho no longer had the energy to stay at home and sneer at Nakamori Akina. She made an appointment with a friend early in the morning to play with small steel balls.
It's not that Nakamori Akina can't feel her sister's attitude, but she is calmer than ever before. Just as Iwahashi Shinichi told her, keep your dreams and then let her sister pursue her dreams.
dream.
Thinking of Iwahashi Shinichi, Nakamori Akina felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Ever since I saw him holding hands with the band's Yoshida-san backstage at the Kohaku Song Concert, this feeling has lingered in my heart from time to time.
On the first day of this year, she did not call Iwahashi Shinichi to wish him a happy new year.
…
In the afternoon, Nakamori Akina received a page from Okada Yukiko.
After calling back, Yukiko Okada wished her a happy New Year, "Happy New Year, Akina-san!"
"Happy New Year, Yukiko." Akina Nakamori replied.
Listening to her carefree voice makes people feel better unconsciously.
Okada Yukiko was still in Nagoya and told her that she would be back on the afternoon of the 3rd. "Does Akina-san have a vacation this year?"
"The first month of this year is rarely free."
Needless to say, it was still because of the self-restraint order.
"How about we go out for the next four days?" Nakamori Akina suggested, "We'll just have a meal together."
On the other end of the phone, Okada Yukiko was a little embarrassed.
"I made an appointment with my friends to leave early on the 4th to go skiing in Yuzawa and stay in Yuzawa for three days." She said, "Sorry, so the 4th is not possible."
Akina Nakamori said "Ah", a little regretful.
Listening to Nakamori Akina's regretful tone on the phone, Okada Yukiko held back her laughter, calmed down for a while, and then spoke again:
"I can't do it on the fourth day. Is Akina-san free on the third day?"
