Nakamori Akina thought about Okada Yukiko's complaint against her, and began to find his reaction very interesting.
"Oh." He nodded, "I also have plans for next Friday night."
Iwahashi Shinichi also casually mentioned it, so he should discuss the itinerary with her, "It will probably end very late, and I may not be able to return the call."
After he finished speaking, Nakamori Akina shook her head, "That's not it." She finally stopped holding back and smiled, "Yukiko and I made an appointment to meet very early. If Yukiko has a part-time job that day, don't leave her too late."
"What?"
Iwahashi Shinichi asked her to say this, and without thinking much at first, he added: "I don't often go to Yoyogi's recording studio..." Halfway through, he figured it out and asked her, "Yukiko wants to ask you
Complained?"
"The boss who always makes his employees work overtime will do this, and he will do it behind his back." Akina Nakamori said it right.
Iwahashi Shinichi reminded her, "You and I are thinking about Yukiko behind her back right now."
"Huh?" She looked like she was being poked.
Iwahashi Shinichi thought it was funny and fanned the flames, "Maybe Yukiko is sneezing non-stop right now."
Nakamori Akina later realized that she seemed to be the one who was telling the story behind her back, and she suddenly felt guilty. But how could her good friend's boss be her boyfriend...
She couldn't hide anything on her face, and when she was entangled, it couldn't be hidden from Iwahashi Shinichi's eyes. Seeing her like this, Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help it anymore and started laughing.
Seeing his smile, Nakamori Akina came back to her senses, realized that he had tricked her again, and opened her eyes.
"Be careful next time."
Shin Iwahashi stopped as soon as he saw something good.
…
"Be sure to pay attention next time."
Akina Nakamori stuck out her tongue, feeling a little embarrassed. After making more mistakes, her momentum became lower and lower, and she looked very annoyed.
Shinichi Iwahashi opened the folded paper in his hand and said, "It doesn't matter."
"Do it again," he said.
It's a good match for a bad teacher to have a patient apprentice. It's been a while since I've done origami, and Akina Nakamori, a teacher, is also very bad at it. Not long after the long-awaited origami teaching class started, she kept making mistakes.
On Valentine's Day, when Nakamori Akina gave chocolates, she also included an origami penguin. The relationship between the two was developing rapidly these days. There were too many things to do together after meeting, and the original origami teaching class was left aside.
Last time, when I received a record from Shinichi Iwahashi, when Akina Nakamori wrote a reply, I remembered the unfinished lesson again.
The two of them took some time off to start classes at her home.
"There will be absolutely no problem this time..."
Nakamori Akina's attitude toward him was low, but her attitude toward "origami" was as high as ever, and she was determined not to stop until she folded the penguin in her hand.
Iwahashi Shinichi wanted to remind her that the origami reference book was at her home, but seeing her attitude, he pretended to have forgotten about it and accompanied her on the detour.
When she really gets stuck, she can remember the reference book by herself.
With Nakamori Akina's attitude of being able to solve the problem, reminding her now is almost like trying to undermine her.
"Try this again..."
Nakamori Akina's fingers moved dexterously.
The two of them were very close. Iwahashi Shinichi looked at the movements in her hands, and his eyes moved away from her fingers and fell on her drooped eyelids, the slightly raised tip of her nose, and her slightly parted lips.
Akina Nakamori was completely unaware and concentrated on it.
until--
"That's it!" She cheered a little, finally finding the key to unlock the next level. Because her face was focused and tense, a smile immediately appeared.
He raised his head to talk to Iwahashi Shinichi, only to find that he was staring at him.
Their eyes met. Iwahashi Shinichi, a student who was caught slacking off during class, not only did not panic because of being caught, but instead leaned over and kissed the corner of her mouth where her smile had not gone away.
after awhile.
Nakamori Akina pulled her head back and stared at his face again and again, "Is Shinichi-kun thinking about that?"
She was as sure as a famous detective in solving the case. Iwahashi Shinichi said without thinking, "That's right."
The overly frank admission actually made Akina Nakamori laugh. However, she immediately remembered the unused "that" one in her bedside drawer.
I'll be packing up and getting ready to move tomorrow.
Sure enough, it would be better to use it first than to put it somewhere and take it to a new home...
"Use 'that', okay?" Iwahashi Shinichi thought of it together with her.
There is really a connection between the two minds. Although this "connection between the two minds" seems a bit subtle at the moment. Although they just thought of going together, Nakamori Akina felt embarrassed that her heart had been seen through.
Stay away from him, raise the origami in your hand, "Be more attentive, Shinichi-kun."
"I understand." Shinichi Iwahashi nodded honestly.
Fortunately, the interruption did not cause her to forget the origami steps she had just remembered.
In fact, the technique of origami penguin is not that complicated. Ever since she gave up trying to stump Shinichi Iwahashi, Akina Nakamori no longer clings to origami that even she herself can't do.
I haven’t done any handwriting for a while, and I feel like my progress is back on track since I came back.
"In a few days, I will send you the concert tickets."
The origami paper in her hand had the shape of a penguin, but it hadn't been colored yet, which looked weird. Akina Nakamori got up and went to get a paintbrush, waiting to put the finishing touches on it.
Although the painting skills of both of them are not very good.
"What's the date?" Shinichi Iwahashi asked casually.
Akina Nakamori sat back next to him, "Next month on the 16th...but the public ticket sales have already started."
"I'll definitely go there then."
Shinichi Iwahashi took the brush she handed over and painted on the origami paper just like she did. It was done. The two had been folded several times with "scars", like origami penguins who had just gone on an adventure.
Put them next to each other.
"Put it here first."
Iwahashi Shin brought Nakamori Akina's piece to him and said, "Take it with you when you go back tomorrow."
…
"Just leave it like that." Shinichi Iwahashi advised her.
The light from the bedside lamp was dim, but it could also be used on the dressing table. Akina Nakamori turned her head and saw the origami kitten placed in the perfume box. The light was poor and she couldn't see it clearly. The more it looked like this, the more it seemed to her.
It seems alive.
Not only that, he is also a kitten who understands human nature and comes from a magical dream time and space.
Of course, she knew that this was the paper kitten Iwahashi Shinichi folded and gave to her for her birthday last year. It had no magic, no consciousness, and no idea what was being done here. It was just an ordinary origami kitten.
But knowing this, at this moment, with the creator of the kitten, Nakamori Akina suddenly had an illusion.
As if he was being watched by this kitten...
Once you think about it this way, it seems like it really happened.
But this kind of thing could not be explained clearly. Nakamori Akina was vague, and Iwahashi Shinichi could not guess where she suddenly had difficulty with the origami kitten and wanted to put it away.
The warm breath enveloped her, and Nakamori Akina finally had no time to care about the existence of the kitten, and she no longer asked whether there was a magical dream time and space, and whether the kitten saw all this.
But magical dream time and space probably do exist.
Akina Nakamori turned her head and saw in a daze that the kitten that was supposed to be motionless in the perfume box suddenly moved back and forth and began to pace.
It sharpened its claws, as if ready to pounce on its prey at any moment.
The kitten, who was stretching himself, suddenly noticed her gaze and opened his mouth.
Nakamori Akina heard its "meow" cry. The sound appeared in her mind, was pushed out of her mind, and came out of her mouth.
The kitten sharpened its claws and found its prey. It suddenly broke through the perfume box and looked about to jump from the dressing table to here——
It was about to reach her eyes.
Akina Nakamori held on to him tightly as if she wanted to defend her prey.
When the prey gave up its struggle and finally lowered its head, the kitten let out a contented "meow" sound.
Akina Nakamori turned her head. The perfume box on the dressing table was intact, the light was blurry, and the origami kitten stayed inside quietly, motionless.
She sighed as if relieved.
After regaining consciousness, Shinichi Iwahashi leaned over and gently hugged her shoulders.
…
Office workers have a busy Monday.
Shinichi Iwahashi came with the clothes he would wear to work today. After washing up in the morning, he rolled up the clothes he changed out of yesterday and put them in a travel bag, and changed into a work suit.
Normally, there is no need to go home early to change clothes, and there should be more time. But Nakamori Akina's assistant promised to come over at eight o'clock today to help her move and organize.
It's a bit early to come to help with the moving at eight o'clock.
In this way, since her assistant was coming over in a while, Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't wait too long. After breakfast, he was ready to leave.
Before leaving, I remembered one thing and asked Akina Nakamori for the garbage bags in the bedroom.
"I'll take it out."
Otherwise, wait until the assistant comes to help with the moving and packing. It will be a surprise if he sees it.
Nakamori Akina went to tie the garbage bag and took it out, handed it to him, as if to hide her shyness, stared at him, and said deliberately: "It's so thoughtful."
Iwahashi Shinichi just smiled and took it.
What was handed to him along with the garbage bag was Nakamori Akina's warning to "be careful on the road."
…
After seeing off Iwahashi Shinichi, not long after, the assistant rang the doorbell of her apartment.
When a celebrity wants to move, from the time he decides to change the house to the time he moves there, the office will follow up the whole process. The assistant comes to the house and dresses as if he is going to participate in an outdoor activity organized by the company.
Akina Nakamori saw it and smiled, "It's really amazing."
The little assistant was a little embarrassed, "Because I have to come here to move." So of course I have to wear something that is convenient for doing physical work.
In the morning, the assistant accompanied her to pack her things. In the afternoon, the moving company came, and then Ben also came.
When it comes to her moving, Oben just follows her instructions and listens to her arrangements. Anyway, this is not the first time for Nakamori Akina to move. When it comes to helping her move, Oben and his assistant are both very capable.
experienced.
"so cute!"
Akina Nakamori was looking around the living room, thinking about where to start, when she suddenly heard the assistant's praise. She looked over, and her heart skipped a beat, feeling like she had been exposed to a secret.
The two penguins from last night are still on the table.
Iwahashi Shinichi, who said "I will take it with me when I go back tomorrow", did not take away the origami penguin, but took something else.
"Akarina-san is so awesome!"
The assistant cheered at Akina Nakamori's origami skills. She followed Akina Nakamori all day long and knew that she had a hobby of origami. The more she knew about it and saw such vivid origami, the more she admired her.
However, compliments were one thing, but she felt something was wrong.
The paintings on the two origami penguins don't look like they were painted by one person... Could it be that Akina-san deliberately painted them in two styles?
"I forgot to put them away." Akina Nakamori walked over as if nothing had happened and took the two origami penguins in her hands.
The little assistant looked at her face and silently recited one of the articles in the Assistant Manual - Don't be overly curious. After reciting it once, he immediately entered the role and asked Akina Nakamori what to do next.
For the next whole day, Akina Nakamori was busy with moving matters.
…
Early in the morning, he held a meeting at the record company. On Monday, Shinichi Iwahashi was busy all day.
At today's regular meeting, Watanabe Mayumi also came. The two of them had agreed in advance that at today's meeting, they would discuss the planning proposal that Shinichi Iwahashi was preparing to make with the team and listen to everyone's opinions.
The two of them set up a rough framework in private, determined the concept of "making a planned album", and first listed the "cards" they could bring out.
After I felt confident, I took the plan out for public discussion.
The two of them were like this when they were planning the music festival. A few years have passed, and now, they don't have to argue with each other or argue with the office.
However, it does not mean that one can make a decision based on one word.
The person sent by the major shareholder Zhutian Printing Company is also sitting in the conference room. He has always been responsible for listening and never interrupting. The record company has just started, and currently they are all around ZARD, plus there is BOLAN who is preparing to debut. The structure is simple
.
Because of this, when he heard Iwahashi Shinichi talk about such a plan, he was surprised for the first time.
"First of all, there are two basics. One is that after all the planned singles are released, they will be included in the same album. Moreover, it is an album with strong integrity and no abrupt connection."
Iwahashi Shinichi explained, "The second is the bands affiliated to the company, so they can also join in. Therefore, it is necessary to listen to the ideas of these bands and the direction they want to cooperate with."
"Then, on this basis, we will mobilize what can be mobilized."
In this project, the first priority was given to the bands belonging to the GENZO system. We were looking for suitable collaborators and other bands that could join in, taking into consideration whether they would be a good match for them.
"Actively cooperate with enka singers and idols to draw the public's attention here." Shinichi Iwahashi said, "I will produce with this belief and send music to more people's ears."
Although the preparations were based on the concept of making a planned album, Shinichi Iwahashi was not so ambitious that he had to prepare according to the specification of ten songs for an album.
On the contrary, he already has plans in mind for the track specifications of the album he will produce later.
