There was someone waiting to open the door for him at home, so Iwahashi Shinichi thought of getting off work at that time and not going out to run around. However, when he was about to leave, he received another page.
When I called back, the person over there was Fengdao.
"Mineshima-san?"
Mineshima told him on the phone that he had taken brothers Kenichi Kurosawa and Hideki Kurosawa to the production company to sign a contract.
"After that, I'll leave it to you to make arrangements for work and perform," Iwahashi Shinichi said.
Iwahashi Shinichi doesn't have much involvement in the matter of signing musicians. There is no need to pay too much attention to something that is well-founded.
"After I get them settled, I'll go watch the show." He didn't forget it.
Mineshima agreed. But obviously, the purpose of calling such a special page was not just to report about the two Kurosawa brothers.
Iwahashi Shinichi guessed that it was the same. After finishing speaking, he shut his mouth and waited for Mineshima's next words.
"Iwahashi-san, there's something that's causing a lot of noise right now." Mineshima finally got to the point.
Iwahashi Shinichi said "Oh?"
"There is a band called TS, does Iwahashi-san know about it?"
When Mineshima asked, Iwahashi Shinichi vaguely remembered that he had gone to see this band perform two years ago. Being a man in black, your memory is not bad.
"It seems like a punk band," he said.
"This is this band. They were quite famous in the underground. Several record companies were interested in signing them. Last year, the band signed with a record company called Meldac."
"oh."
"It's the first album to debut in the mainstream, and the results are pretty good. It's a very promising band among newcomers."
"oh."
"It was planned to release the second album in June this year, but something went wrong." Mineshima said, "The new album includes a song called "Chernobyl."
Iwahashi Shinichi listened.
According to Mineshima's explanation, TS criticized nuclear energy pollution in this song. However, one of the investors behind Meldac Records is Mitsubishi, and nuclear energy is the energy they are using.
"Mitsubishi requires the band to remove this song from the album. Otherwise, the band will be kicked out."
Iwahashi Shinichi listened, "What then?"
"The band seems determined not to compromise, and even sang this song loudly during the LIVEHOUSE performance."
Shinichi Iwahashi smiled after hearing this, "It's quite punk."
"That's right." Mineshima also laughed, "So, the troubles got worse and worse, and Meldac Records issued an ultimatum and prepared to terminate the contract with the band. If they didn't take this step back, it is estimated that they would soon be gone again.
The ground has retreated underground."
Not only that, but you will also have to pay a liquidated damages.
"I would say, if you can do whatever you want, you shouldn't make a mainstream debut."
Mineda's tone makes it hard to guess whether he appreciates TS's toughness, or whether he despises them for being so unclear.
"Anyway, that's what happened. It's a big fuss after all, so I should let you know." After Mineshima finished speaking, he asked again: "Have Iwahashi-san listened to their album?"
Iwahashi Shinichi replied: "Not yet."
"It's a very flavorful album, I want you to listen to it," Fengdao said.
Iwahashi Shinichi agreed to listen to it and wrote down the name of the album - it had the same name as the band, so he would definitely remember it. Mineshima made a special phone call and only said this, but did not go into details.
Until he hung up the phone, Iwahashi Shinichi didn't know what Mineshima had planned. This former leader rarely asked such riddles. Iwahashi Shinichi thought about it and felt that the matter was unclear, so he simply didn't
I thought about it again and simply wrote this thing down in my itinerary.
Check the time, pack your things, and get ready to leave after get off work.
…
As soon as the doorbell rang, Akina Nakamori rushed to the entrance.
Without looking at who it was, he opened the door and revealed a smiling face, "Welcome back~"
"It's really fast." Shinichi Iwahashi smiled at her.
Akina Nakamori nodded "Yeah, yeah" and her eyes fell on the things in his hands, "I told you, as long as you press the doorbell, I will come and open the door for you as soon as possible."
With that said, he stepped aside and let Shinichi Iwahashi come in.
She pulled up her long hair, revealing her childish forehead. She also wore an apron with a Mickey Mouse pattern on her body. One look at it and it was clear that Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't have bought it himself.
Akina Nakamori occasionally comes over to cook and spend the night, and unknowingly she brings her own things. After bringing them here, she often forgets to take them back. Shinichi Iwahashi has more of her things from time to time.
One piece.
"By the way, this is for you."
"what is that?"
The two people spoke at the same time, staring at each other.
Iwahashi Shinichi held the specially customized large gift box he got from Miwa-chan in his left hand, and a small handful of roses in his right hand. Tonight, thanks to the Nakamori player who rushed over to open the door for him, he avoided the trouble of running out of hands.
.
"This is for you." He handed over the rose in his hand.
I received a call from Akina Nakamori early this evening. Iwahashi Shinichi didn't stay out for a long time and came home on time after work. When I passed by the flower shop, I saw that the shop was still open. On a whim, I went in and bought a small handful.
Roses, I want to give them to her.
"Send me flowers?"
Akina Nakamori took the small handful of red roses, feeling surprised and happy. She looked at the flowers, then at Shinichi Iwahashi, smiling but saying nothing.
I recommend this reading app that I am using recently. It has many book sources, complete books, and is updated quickly!
She didn't speak, and Shinichi Iwahashi didn't say anything, just looked at her.
When she doesn't put on makeup, Akina Nakamori looks childish, especially when she smiles. Shinji Iwahashi felt relieved when he saw her happy face. After watching it again and again, he felt that he couldn't get enough.
"I've been looking at you for too long." Nakamori Akina followed his gaze and pouted.
Iwahashi Shinichi blinked in response.
This made her laugh again.
"It's obviously Shinichi-kun's birthday." Akina Nakamori held the flowers in her hands.
No matter how much she thought about it, Iwahashi Shinichi would come back with flowers for her on this day.
"Yes." Iwahashi Shin nodded, seriously, "It's a victory bouquet for contestant Nakamori." He still hadn't forgotten the role-play she had just had a whim for fun, and deliberately teased her with words.
Nakamori Akina laughed loudly after hearing this.
"what is that?"
Nakamori Akina was so happy that she didn't forget to ask about the box held in Shinichi Iwahashi's arms.
Iwahashi Shin put the box down and changed his shoes, "It's a birthday gift from Yoshida-san."
Akina Nakamori said "Oh" and glanced at the box. She was a little curious about what was inside, but she held it back. Watching Iwahashi Shinichi take off his suit, he subconsciously twitched his nose when he remembered that there were vegetables cooking in the pot.
Fortunately, fortunately, I didn't mess up the kitchen by talking to him too much.
Thinking of this, she walked around behind Shinichi Iwahashi and pushed him gently, "Supper isn't ready yet. Shinichi-kun, please take a shower first, okay?"
Iwahashi Shin turned his head one by one and saw that she was somewhat cunning and had a flattering smile, which he found very interesting.
"Closer," he said.
Nakamori Akina approached him with a smile, squinting her eyes and pouting her lips, waiting for Shinichi Iwahashi's lips to touch her... However, before his lips came, her nose was pinched gently.
She opened her eyes and saw Iwahashi Shinichi, who was suppressing a smile. Her eyes widened and she shouted: "Hey~!"
Why are you making fun of people like this?!
When his nose was pinched, when he made a sound, instead of being scary, the duck-like quack seemed even more funny. Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Nakamori Akina was angry and annoyed. She stretched out her hand and spread the two annoying fingers of Iwahashi Shinichi and slapped them twice.
"It's really annoying." She said in disgust.
"Well, disgusting."
"Why are you so evil-minded?"
"Yeah, evil-minded." Iwahashi Shin nodded.
The more honestly she admitted her mistake, the more funny she looked. Nakamori Akina couldn't go on... It was true that she felt unhappy about being fooled, but she couldn't think of anything else to say to him, and she didn't want to really criticize him or really get angry with him.
But she was a little unwilling to let him go like this. After thinking about it, she took over the command: "Get closer."
"Well, closer."
Iwahashi Shinichi bent down.
"A little closer," she continued.
Iwahashi Shinichi and her were almost face to face. Nakamori Akina's eyes blinked, and her breath fell on his face, giving him the illusion that it was the wind flapping her long eyelashes that sent the breath to him.
Came here.
His eyes ran across the delicate tip of her nose that he had pinched just now, and he looked at the cute fluff above her lips, feeling itchy in his heart.
Want to kiss.
If I had known better, I wouldn't have teased her that way.
"Boom!"
"Ouch!" Nakamori Akina covered her head and shouted.
Shinichi Iwahashi rubbed his dizzy forehead, looking at his girlfriend who was doing nothing but doing that, and didn't know what reaction he should make.
"Why are you so hard!" Akina Nakamori grinned.
I wanted to vent my anger and hit him. As a result, not only did I not hurt him, but I was knocked dizzy.
Iwahashi Shinichi looked at her appearance and found it a bit funny, so he stretched out his hand to pull her. When she shook her off, he stretched out again and pulled her half-hug, half-hug, "How hard did you use?"
She was speechless, "...it's all your fault."
As he spoke, he put his forehead on his chest and rubbed it. Just like that, he still didn't forget to hold the flower sent by Iwahashi Shinichi in his hand, and carefully put it behind his back.
Iwahashi Shinichi put his hand on her forehead and rubbed it for her, "I'm sorry."
"Don't say 'I'm sorry' to me in such a serious manner." Nakamori Akina softened her words, but still said hard, "Although I was mean-spirited and annoying just now, it's not to the point where I need to apologize seriously."
Iwahashi Shinichi agreed, feeling a little embarrassed. The excitement passed, and he felt that he was childish enough just now, like an elementary school boy who deliberately teased the girl he liked.
"Sigh." Nakamori Akina sighed, "Shinichi-kun is good anywhere..."
"Huh?" Shinichi Iwahashi was curious about the second half of the sentence.
But I didn't hear what I wanted to hear. Nakamori Akina twitched her nose again, suddenly said "Ah!", shouted "Kitchen!", threw away Shinichi Iwahashi, and ran inside with the slender apron string behind her.
, wagging like a tail, still holding the small handful of roses tightly in her hand.
Such a back figure looks full of vitality, as if there is endless energy.
"It's so dangerous! It's so dangerous!" She let out a long breath.
Iwahashi Shinichi went to get his yukata, took a shower, changed his clothes, returned to the living room, looked around, and walked over to the dining table. The table was almost full.
The small handful of roses given to Akina Nakamori were also trimmed by her and placed in a vase.
Iwahashi Shinichi has nothing to do with exquisite life. He is usually busy and has no time to arrange flowers. He even doesn't remember if there is a vase at home... Looking carefully, this small handful of roses is not in a vase.
It looks more like a water bottle.
If Nakamori Akina couldn't find the vase, then there probably wasn't one.
…
"If we light candles, it will be a candlelight dinner."
Nakamori Akina looked at the roses in the water bottle, said something innocently, and sat down happily. When they entered the door just now, the two of them were playing around, but at this time, they had long been forgotten.
.
Shinichi Iwahashi opened the beer and filled it for both of them. The beer was rich in foam and was about to overflow from the cup. Akina Nakamori leaned over and took a big sip, looking up at him with a smile.
"You got beer foam on your mouth," Shinichi Iwahashi reminded her.
Akina Nakamori folded her hands and covered her mouth. But looking at the cunning eyebrows, she didn't do this out of shyness. Iwahashi Shinichi saw her expression and thought she was cute and touching.
"Don't think too much now." Akina Nakamori caught him.
The moment he teased her as soon as he entered the door, he ended up being unable to get up and down. Iwahashi Shinichi had a bit of a self-inflicted experience.
Caught by her, Iwahashi Shinichi simply ignored her words, picked up the wine glass and asked, "Do you want to touch it?"
The answer is of course——
Akina Nakamori responded with action and happily clinked glasses with him.
"cheers!"
Fried sweet fish, asparagus rolls, lettuce salad, vegetable stew, chawanmushi... There are many dishes for dinner, but each item has reduced its weight. Akina Nakamori showed off her skills and used all the pots and pans that Shinichi Iwahashi doesn't usually use.
We mobilized ourselves and prepared a beautiful dinner.
It's a common way to make it at home, but the more you do it, the more delicious it becomes.
The two of them were in a good mood while eating and chatting.
Nakamori Akina even steamed red beans and rice for him to eat.
She added some rice for him, and Shinichi Iwahashi took it. He found it interesting and stared at the red bean rice in the bowl.
"What's wrong?" Akina Nakamori couldn't guess what he was thinking.
Shinichi Iwahashi said casually, changing the topic, "I also eat red beans and rice on my birthday."
"I eat red beans and rice when something good happens, and of course I eat it for birthdays." Nakamori Akina takes it for granted.
Iwahashi Shin nodded and stuffed the red bean rice into his mouth, "It's delicious." On his birthday, he thought of steaming red bean rice, and he realized Nakamori Akina's intention.
"Uh-huh."
Akina Nakamori was very happy when she received the praise. She also waved her chopsticks, took a bite of red bean rice, and shared this good thing.
It's a good thing.
"Thank you for today, Akina-san."
Iwahashi Shinichi accepted the reception, had a hearty meal, and thanked her.
As a result, after hearing what he said, Akina Nakamori laughed.
