Miwa-chan's birthday, Iwahashi Shinichi finally passed it without incident, and the crisis of being pressed to the ground and rubbed by her was resolved.
When the lead singer of a popular band celebrated her birthday, not only did the staff around her start celebrating her over and over again more than a week in advance, but the number of letters and gifts sent by fans also increased significantly during this period.
On the day of her birthday, both the office and the record company received flowers from many fans. Of course, this kind of grand celebration can only be enjoyed by Miwa-chan.
These days it is fashionable to give gifts to your favorite artists, ranging from cheap plush toys and snacks to bags and jewelry. Nowadays, it is also an era where money is spent and the head is always hot. Big celebrities with many fans, such as
There are celebrities in the entertainment industry or stage plays, and there are even fans who offer to give away houses and cars. As for whether to accept it or not, that is another matter.
However, among the fans who send gifts to Miwa-chan, they are never too generous. They just send ordinary letters and small gifts.
There are some explanations for this. Most of the income of enka singers comes from dinner shows with tickets costing tens of thousands of yen. Those who can go to shows every day and chase stage stars all year round must have money and leisure, and they have more opportunities to meet wealthy fans.
many.
Unlike a pop band like them, the probability of meeting big fans is very slim. They can only rely on their own efforts to sell records, peripherals, and concert tickets, and then use their income of over 100 million to buy them themselves.
By the way, Miwa-chan, who writes all the lyrics and most of the music and sings, has earned nearly 100 million yen since her debut, but she is still the only one in the band who does not have her own car, so she relies on her manager for transportation and renting money.
A car owned by Zeng Yi.
The life of this little rich woman is really simple and unpretentious... Whether it is boring or not is another matter, but she is really happy.
Iwahashi Shinichi and Miwa-chan celebrated their birthdays and did not stay in the recording studio for too long.
In the evening, the recording studio staff also went to have barbecue with Miwa-chan, and he also skipped this meal. The next day on Sunday, he was going to Hyogo Prefecture to play golf. Tonight, he made a reservation in Kobe
We checked into a hotel and set off again tomorrow morning.
Shinichi Iwahashi only knew about Kobe to the extent of "Kobe beef", and he had a vague impression of Hyogo Prefecture.
Only when I saw the Chinese character "Hyogo", I couldn't help but face the north for some reason, and a beautiful smiling face vaguely appeared in my mind.
His usual scope of activities is concentrated in the Kanto area. When he comes to Kansai for business, he cannot go to Hyogo, so he is very unfamiliar with this place. He plays golf for entertainment, and flies all over Japan to play golf and socialize. When he first joined the industry, he did not
The thought of living this kind of life.
Night had fallen when we arrived in Kobe. After checking in, Shinichi Iwahashi was still in a leisurely mood. He took the cable car to Mt. Rokko to see the night view alone. However, due to a sudden impulse and insufficient preparation, he was so cold at the top of the mountain that he put his hands in his pockets.
Whether in Kanto or Kansai, there is an atmosphere of a city that never sleeps floating over big cities, especially on Saturday nights.
Shinichi Iwahashi felt the cool temperature on the top of the mountain while overlooking the night view that was said to be worth a million dollars. He turned his head and caught sight of the couple making out, and then silently looked away.
It's so cold.
He acted as a casual tourist for a while, and went down the mountain before the last cable car stopped. When he was at the top of the mountain, he was a tourist overlooking the night view. When he got off the mountain, he was like a firefly returning to the forest, blending into the thousands of lights of Kobe.
middle.
Shinichi Iwahashi saw a phone booth on the street, and suddenly remembered the day Akina Nakamori called him on the day when Tian Locust had her braids.
"I saw a phone booth on the street and wanted to call you."
Kobe felt to Iwahashi Shinichi that it was a city more suitable for two people to come together than alone. Rather than flying around here alone, he hoped to have someone by his side to accompany him.
In a sense, when walking alone on the street at night in a foreign land, I remembered what Akina Nakamori said, and I could subtly understand her feelings when she said that.
I suddenly think of her phone call and those childish words, probably not only because I saw the phone booth on the street.
In addition, in another sense, when you think of the content of the phone call, you can accurately remember the time and day of the phone call, which is also related to the date of receiving the phone call.
In the phone booth, a young girl dressed fashionably was giving a lecture. She glanced outside the phone booth and saw Shinichi Iwahashi standing there. She quickly said a few words to the other end of the phone, put down the phone, and took it back.
phone card.
"Please~" She waved the phone card in her hand to Shinichi Iwahashi as if she was talking drunkenly.
Without looking carefully, you can tell that she is drunk. But if you look at her face, you can tell that she is probably under twenty years old.
It is illegal for minors to drink alcohol...
However, as long as you dress maturely and claim to be over twenty when you enter the door, even if there are some flaws, few people will really pursue the issue of age.
After all, turning a blind eye to this kind of thing is a more appropriate way to deal with it than kicking the customer out.
The girl who thought she had done good deeds with good intentions waved to Shinichi Iwahashi again, "Please, please!" She was quite used to being domineering and domineering. She finally felt that she had done a good deed once, and she had to carry it out to the end.
I really want to record her drunken state at this moment and show her when she wakes up.
At this time, if you walk away, there is a 120% chance that the girl will scold you behind your back. Iwahashi Shinichi was like a duck being driven to the store, nodding to the girl to thank him, and walked into the phone booth.
The phone booths are covered with small advertisements for telephone nightclubs and dating clubs, as well as eye-catching slogans such as "College Girls".
Iwahashi Shinichi put a coin in and called Nakamori Akina's house, but no one answered. He then checked the paging code list in the phone booth and paged her. After finishing the page, he put down the receiver and didn't rush out. Instead, he started reading the phone booth.
Small advertisement inside.
The small advertisements posted in phone booths were often simple and crude, and he started to feel bored after just a few of them.
At this time, I heard someone knocking on the glass outside. When I looked up, I saw a young man with an unhappy face, as if urging him to come out as soon as possible.
Nakamori Akina's call back probably wouldn't come for a while, so Iwahashi Shinichi gave up the idea of waiting for the call and walked out.
The girl who did great things just now has disappeared.
It was not a long journey back from here. Shinichi Iwahashi walked back to the hotel. After washing up, he came out of the bathroom and turned on the TV to kill some time... When he was feeling sleepy, he heard the pager ringing.
Iwahashi Shinichi picked up the phone receiver and called back.
"Hey, hey." Nakamori Akina's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Iwahashi Shinichi thought it was expected, but also thought it was unexpected, so he couldn't help but smile, "Akina-san?"
"Good evening."
"I'm in Kobe now," he said.
Akina Nakamori said "Huh?" "Kobe?"
"I'm going to play golf tomorrow." Shinichi Iwahashi told her.
The people traveling with me were the heads of Takeda Printing Company and Nippon Animation Company, and it was said that someone from the editorial department of "RIBON" was also with me.
He was busy with his business. Akina Nakamori only knew that Shinichi Iwahashi had many things to do, but she was confused as to what he was busy with.
The person who runs the record company and the person who is managed by the record company, on official matters, Iwahashi Shinichi can talk to her together, but Nakamori Akina has no idea what he wants to do, and just nods "Yeah, yeah" and listens.
Just put it on.
"Shinichi-kun just called me, right?" Akina Nakamori couldn't wait to ask him.
Iwahashi Shinichi closed his eyes and listened to her tone of voice. She couldn't hide things. If she had anything to say, she rushed it to him without asking, "I'll call you back. Then
Saying 'this is a public phone'."
"I think maybe it was Shinichi-kun who called from a public phone." Nakamori Akina said like a detective reasoning.
Iwahashi Shinichi said "hmm", remembered something, and asked her, "When they said 'this is a public phone' over there, didn't you think I was playing a prank?"
Nakamori Akina chuckled when she heard what he said. After laughing enough, she told him, "The person who answered the phone is a young girl."
"Okay." Shinichi Iwahashi stopped.
His frustrated reaction made Nakamori Akina feel even funnier. It was a pity that her smile could not be seen through the phone line.
"Have Akina-san been to Kobe?" Shinichi Iwahashi asked her.
Akina Nakamori told him, "I probably went there once or twice. But it was all for work. After the filming, I went back immediately without any chance for sightseeing."
"Did Shen Yi-kun go sightseeing?" After she finished speaking, she asked him in turn.
"It's almost night when we arrive. It's my first time in Kobe, so I don't know anything." Shinichi Iwahashi told her, "But I went to Mount Rokko, and my nose got cold."
"real?"
"I can't tell if it's true or not." Shinichi Iwahashi replied, "It could also be an exaggeration."
Akina Nakamori made him laugh again.
"Is the work just over now?" Shinichi Iwahashi asked her.
"Yes, I recorded a Fuji TV variety show." Akina Nakamori said with great enthusiasm, "Does Shinichi-kun know? I even made origami in the show."
"What?"
"There is a part of the game where the idols tell each other what each other is passionate about recently..." she explained.
Iwahashi Shinichi listened and said, "Is that why you showed origami?"
"The program will be aired in less than two weeks." Nakamori Akina seemed to change the topic and put an end to the matter. She was the one who was talking so enthusiastically just now, and now she is the one who wants to stop talking about work.
Iwahashi Shinichi noticed it and cooperated with her to stop it.
On the phone, the two of them were silent for a while unconsciously. Akina Nakamori suddenly said a string of onomatopoeia, "Dong dong dong."
"Why?"
Iwahashi Shinichi reacted and asked her with a smile, "Are you tapping your back again?"
"I don't want to get slapped on the back by someone who went to Kobe and went sightseeing in Mount Rokko as if nothing happened." Nakamori Akina muttered to him.
...It’s not like he came to Kobe for sightseeing and showed off to her on the phone.
"Then what are you doing?" Iwahashi Shinichi asked.
"Knock on it and see if there's any response." She said something incoherent.
Iwahashi Shinichi was a little confused, "What's the response?"
"I don't know." When pressed, Akina Nakamori couldn't tell, so she resorted to acting like a spoiled brat, "I don't know, so I'm not allowed to ask anymore."
"Then what should I do with the appetite you've whetted?" Iwahashi Shinichi bargained with her.
Akina Nakamori chuckled again, "I don't care anymore."
"..." Shinichi Iwahashi had no choice but to accept her behavior of persecuting cats.
Nakamori Akina laughed to herself for a while, then suddenly sighed.
"What's wrong?" Iwahashi Shinichi asked.
She heard the sound through the phone line, both close and far away, "I feel a little lonely." As she said this, she said onomatopoeia into the phone, "Ah woo."
"What is this?"
"Bite Shinichi-kun." Akina Nakamori said.
Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't laugh or cry, "Why do you like to bite me so much?" However, he also felt that Akina Nakamori was so unbearable that she could not bear to resist the coquettish behavior she was thinking of at this moment.
"This is a way of being coquettish to Shen Yi-kun." She said plausibly, "It's the same as wanting to hug you, kiss you, or roll around with you..."
What I actually want to say is that I want to see him, throw myself into his arms and act like a baby, and roll around with him in my arms.
"Then when I see you later, I'll let you bite me." Iwahashi Shinichi agreed. The scar healed and he forgot about the pain. After leaving her for a few days, he forgot about being bitten by her and grinning.
Human memory is really unreliable sometimes.
"You really want me to bite you? It's a deal."
"It's settled...but you can't bite in conspicuous places." Iwahashi Shinichi added.
Nakamori Akina agreed with "Yeah, yeah" and kept everything he said in mind, "I will remember it."
"I will remember it with you. Even if you forget it, as soon as we meet, I will take the initiative to unbutton my shirt and say, 'Akina-san, please'. Is it okay to remind you like this?" Iwahashi Shinichi accompanied her unknowingly.
Talk about stupid things.
There is an advantage to being separated by a phone line. Nakamori Akina suppressed a smile, but pretended to dislike him, "You said you would unbutton your shirt as soon as we met. Is Shinichi-kun thinking about that again?"
As soon as he entered the drama, he put on airs, bared his teeth, and said, "...really sexy!"
"..."
Iwahashi Shinichi was speechless after being rejected. He had never thought that when she said this, he remembered everything he should and shouldn't think.
"..."
Akina Nakamori felt disgusted and became speechless. She didn't think about anything at first, but she took the initiative to dislike it and remembered everything she should and shouldn't think about.
Why did you go to Kobe?
It would be nice not to mention this matter clearly, but it would be even weirder if it were brought up, so let's just not mention it to anyone and put this issue aside for the time being.
"Tomorrow." Iwahashi Shinichi discussed with her, "I will go back tomorrow. Can we meet in the evening?" After a pause, he remembered the gift he had not given yet, but he did not say it out loud.
He waited for a long time, and finally heard Akina Nakamori reply: "No."
"Um?"
"Do you still have work at night?" Iwahashi Shinichi refused to give up and asked to the end.
