Sapporo's planning is quite neat, with straight and horizontal roads, as orderly as a chessboard.
"So, you will never get lost!"
Before going out, Miwa-chan was full of confidence and assured Iwahashi Shinichi, "Besides, I am also from Hokkaido after all. I have been to Sapporo so many times before!"
"He is from Hokkaido, whose hometown is two hundred kilometers away from Sapporo." Shinichi Iwahashi corrected her.
Miwa-chan made a sound and said plausibly, "Then you should know the way better than the Shizuoka people who came to Hokkaido for the first time, right?"
……Fine.
Shinichi Iwahashi, a native of Shizuoka who came to Hokkaido for the first time, chose to keep his mouth shut and ignore the fact that Miwa-chan was a lost diva with a criminal record.
Because I was too full after dinner and couldn't sleep, I called Iwahashi Shinichi after ten o'clock and asked him to go for a walk with me to eat. For this reason, only Miwa-chan can do this.
At this time, the shops have long been closed, but the neon lights are still colorful.
"Sapporo is square and square, and the roads are neat and tidy. It's not like Tokyo, which is so winding and complicated, with blocks here and there." Miwa-chan complained as she walked, "It's not surprising for even Tokyoites to get lost on the roads in Tokyo.
."
"That's true." Shinichi Iwahashi agreed.
"Right?" Miwa-chan looked like she had spoken out some wise words. She said, "I also want to buy a car to drive, but I think the roads in Tokyo are so complicated and narrow, and parking is also very troublesome..."
"So just keep riding?"
She nodded, "So, I will continue to ask for your help occasionally, Shen Yi-kun."
Shinichi Iwahashi can't do anything against this fool.
To be honest, even if she didn't specifically ask for it, it would be impossible to leave her alone when I occasionally go to work with her, but asking her to ask for it like this would make people feel uncomfortable inexplicably.
If she knew what he was thinking, she would definitely say "cheapskate".
It was half past ten at night, but the two of them were walking on the streets of Sapporo.
"I said before that I would treat you well when I came to Hokkaido." Miwa-chan still remembered the promise she made.
Iwahashi Shinichi deliberately teased her, "There are a lot of places in Susukino Happy Street that you can't go to, right?" She was the one who boldly said that she wanted him to go to Fukuoka's Nakasu Street to be cool and happy.
"It doesn't matter. If I can't go, I can still pay the bill for you later." Meihejiang said without any surprise.
Iwahashi Shinichi surrendered, knowing that he could not win against her, "Please spare me."
"Several of my friends from high school have stayed in Sapporo to work. This time they came to hold a concert, and they also helped promote it in the company with their colleagues." Miwa-chan continued to talk about something else after she had laughed enough.
Although in fact, these friends were not so much helping her with publicity as they were proudly announcing to their colleagues that he was their friend when people around her were talking about another big star coming out of Hokkaido.
"Are you happy?" Iwahashi Shinichi asked.
"It's so hard that I can't sleep just thinking about it." Miwa-chan's tone sounded very innocent. "When I was in high school, every night before going to bed, I would lie in bed and imagine that I would become a big star like Yumi-san and drive a super large car.
concert……"
"It's still unclear whether we can be like Yumi-san, but a super-large concert has already been realized," said Shinichi Iwahashi.
Miwa-chan nodded "Yeah, yeah" and said, "I haven't finished yet... After that, she won a Grammy Award as a Japanese." She told Iwahashi Shinichi what she said when she was a girl, "
I don’t even know how many times I have thought about the speech I want to say in English to accept the award when I attend the award ceremony. Do you want to hear it?"
"..." Iwahashi Shinichi was speechless at first.
Just listening to what she said, one can imagine her being so excited that she giggled when her mind came to this point, unable to distinguish between fantasy and reality. However, it is silly enough to say that she is silly, but if she didn't have this foolishness, she wouldn't be able to talk to her.
meet.
"Shen Yijun." She suddenly called him.
"What?"
"Shen~yi~jun~" she said in a long voice, like a child standing in front of a shop window asking an adult for a gift.
Shinichi Iwahashi was a little wary at first, "What's wrong?"
"Don't you mean," Miwa-chan smiled, showing her fox tail, "we are TRUE, so all the wishes we make will come true?"
"..." He was right.
Iwahashi Shinichi had no choice but to say "hmm". At that time, he could not have imagined that this little fox had such a lofty ideal. When he only had one hundred yuan, he could not buy anything worth two hundred yuan.
"Haha!" As a result, Miwa-chan's reaction made him laugh out loud.
In the streets late at night, this string of laughter spread very far. Iwahashi Shinichi was baffled by her inexplicable laughter, so he left the little fox enjoying himself aside and stepped forward.
Miwa-chan had laughed enough, and belatedly realized that Shinichi Iwahashi was walking out, and hurriedly caught up with him.
"Let's go find a pub for a drink? I know a good one in Sapporo!"
Shinichi Iwahashi glanced sideways at her, "Aren't you so full that you can't sleep?"
"That's true." Miwa-chan was reminded. She put her hand on her stomach and touched it as if to confirm herself. She said to him seriously: "However, I feel much better now than when I first came out."
After all, I have been hanging out for a while, and my digestion results have been remarkable.
"So, if you drink two glasses... one glass of beer should be enough," she said.
Iwahashi Shinichi shook his head, "Let's forget it. Otherwise, you won't have to call me again later and tell me to come out until you can't sleep."
Miwa-chan was even happier to have him scold her like this.
"I also know that these wishes sound outrageous. If you tell others, you will be laughed at. But Shen Yijun will definitely not do it." She mentioned the old things again.
"Because Shinichi-kun doesn't know how, it doesn't matter if I tell you everything." Miwa-chan looked like she was willing to tell him all the dreams she had had since she was born.
Iwahashi Shinichi listened to her words.
"Because I have TRUE and am with you, Shinichi-kun, I like to dream more." Miwa-chan turned her head, and his shoulders and profile were right in front of her.
"Even if it sounds like a dream that will never come true, because I stay in TRUE, I feel that it will come true one day. Although I don't know which day it will be..." She said silly words that made her faint.
After talking for a long time, what I was actually saying was, "Let's sing together as TRUE."
When they reached the corner of the street, the two stopped.
"Go back?" Iwahashi Shinichi said.
Miwa-chan nodded. He was about to go back the way he came, but was pulled back.
"This way." Miwa-chan held his hand with one hand and pointed to the corner of the street with the other hand. "You can still go back if you walk a little from this way and then another street."
"Yeah?"
Miwa-chan said firmly, "It's no problem. The roads in Sapporo are well maintained and it's easy to walk back." As she said this, she couldn't wait to hold his hand and ran to the other side of the street like a rushing puppy.
Shinichi Iwahashi asked her to hold him, fearing that if he let go she would be thrown into the dirt, so he could only run after her.
It's late at night, and this neighborhood is quiet enough. Occasionally, cars drive by on the road, the road is smooth, and the sounds of cars passing by sound particularly lively.
Turning to the other side of the street, Shinichi Iwahashi withdrew his hand.
"My stomach is not full now!" Miwa-chan announced to him happily.
Iwahashi Shinichi was speechless.
The two of them walked back together.
"I really want to invite you, Shinichi-kun, to play in the winter in Hokkaido." Miwa-chan said, "People from Kanto will be shocked when they see the heavy snow in Hokkaido."
"However, winter is not a good time to hold a concert in Hokkaido."
Once it snows heavily, traffic will be suspended. Then there will be a lot of trouble.
"When I was in elementary school, after it snowed, I would bring my skis to school."
"When I first arrived in Tokyo, I felt so lonely in the winter. It snowed heavily once in a while, so I went to the park to collect the snow and put it in the refrigerator. Every day when I got home, I opened the refrigerator to take a look."
"..."
Miwa-chan opens a topic by herself and talks endlessly about it like turning on a switch.
Shinichi Iwahashi followed her, listening to her chatter about the Hokkaido in his memory.
"It would be nice if there were snowflakes falling now~"
Miwa-chan said enough, took a deep breath, and said unrealistic words to the summer night sky.
However, the temperature was a bit low in Sapporo late at night. Before Iwahashi Shinichi came out, he had already taken a shower. He was too lazy to use a hair dryer, so when he came out, his hair was not completely dry.
A gust of wind hit him head-on. His nose itched and he sneezed loudly. He touched his head and found that his hair had long been dry.
"Is someone missing you?" Miwa-chan joked with him with a smile.
Iwahashi Shinichi also laughed, "Maybe that's true."
"Hey~ narcissistic." The little fox couldn't say anything good.
If he picked up on her words, she would be sure to make her angry. Iwahashi Shinichi chose to give up and ignore her. So, he switched to this little fox who didn't get a response. Because he couldn't argue with him, he felt unsatisfied.
.
The more dissatisfied she was, the more Iwahashi Shinichi felt he was better than her and the happier he became.
Thanks to the neatly planned roads in Sapporo, the two of them walked back to their hotel smoothly. When they got back, it was almost half past eleven.
Miwa-chan's dissatisfaction just now disappeared, and she happily waved goodbye to him: "Thank you tonight, see you tomorrow ~ Shinichi-kun!"
With this refreshing look, it seems that digestion has been successful.
After this large tour, a lot of physical energy was used up, and Iwahashi Shinichi was also quite tired. After washing up, he set the alarm clock and lay down on the bed. Tomorrow morning, he will go to the concert and rehearse again...
He drifted into sleep.
In the middle of the night, my whole body felt hot and I had a high fever.
…
The next morning, the team went to the concert site for a routine rehearsal.
We have performed so many times from Fukuoka to Hokkaido, and everyone is very familiar with the process of the performance. Even if one or two links are different from the previous one at each place, it doesn't cost much.
During the rehearsal, as long as Miwa Yoshida, who is the absolute protagonist, is present, it won't be impossible if one or two others are missing.
For example, during today's rehearsal, the seat where the giraffe man stood was empty.
A rehearsal without the Giraffe Man.
Iwahashi Shinichi is usually busy with behind-the-scenes work. During the early rehearsals in Tokyo, he was absent from time to time. Everyone was accustomed to the Giraffe Man's absence.
Although this is the first time since the official tour started that he did not appear at the venue.
In the early morning, Miwa-chan's mood was not high. It definitely had nothing to do with happiness, but it was not to the extent that people would privately agree not to provoke her after seeing her.
Her face was expressionless, like a child who had done something wrong.
Originally, I was going back to Sapporo to hold a concert and return home in glory, which was the time to be elated. As a result, the team members saw such an unpleasant expression. Whatever they discussed with her, they just said "yes" and went ahead with it.
Without asking, everyone in the team knew that Shinichi Iwahashi was ill and missed the rehearsal today.
"Anyway," the concert director said before the rehearsal started when we arrived at the venue, "Although Iwahashi-san was unwell and missed the rehearsal, we still have to work together for his sake. Please do your best!"
Nakamura Masato patted Miwa-chan on the shoulder and said, "It's about to begin."
When Iwahashi Shinichi was not present, Brother Nakamura took out the form of guardian to remind her.
"Oh~" Miwa-chan nodded.
As soon as the rehearsal started, she was an extremely professional musician. She was calm and unhurried, running around the place under the direction of the director, and she was in full condition.
Only when I was looking around the whole place and saw that the giraffe man's seat was empty, I started to feel depressed again.
Last night, I shouldn't have let him go shopping with me.
Only Miwa-chan and Shinichi Iwahashi knew about this matter.
In fact, Iwahashi Shinichi's high fever was probably due to being too busy this August and accumulating fatigue. But the person who lit the fuse felt the worst.
She looked at the empty place with no expression on her face.
"Let's sing together as TRUE."
The person who said this was himself, and the person who made Shinichi Iwahashi fall ill and drop out of the team was also him.
But no matter what, the rehearsals have to go on and the performances have to go on.
"If Iwahashi-san is still sick tomorrow, should we consider arranging a substitute?" During the rehearsal, the director went to discuss with the two members of the band.
Fortunately, there is only one show in Sapporo and it will end after the performance tomorrow.
If your health is not recovering well, you definitely cannot play while sick. Not to mention wearing a giraffe hood, you are even more worried about something happening. There is basically a consensus on this point.
As soon as the male giraffe puts on the hood, no one knows who is underneath. And the Sapporo venue will not take photos or record them on video, so the other keyboard player in the accompaniment team can put on the hood and he will not be discovered by the audience.
"It's just one show anyway, there's no problem in arranging a substitute." The director discussed with the two people.
Masato Nakamura did not speak, but first looked at Miwa-chan. After working together for so long, Brother Nakamura knew everything about Miwa-chan's obsession, but he definitely understood it better than outsiders.
"Cannot arrange for a substitute."
As expected, Miwa-chan refused the proposal to arrange a substitute.
"KIRIN-kun is Shinichi-kun, and Shinichi-kun is KIRIN-kun. No one can replace him," she said.
The director looked embarrassed, "But the situation is special..."
"No. You can't deceive the audience, and you can't let others become KIRIN-kun."
Miwa-chan became more stubborn and said, "If Shinichi-kun can't play tomorrow, I'll free up the keyboard position and tell the audience in the broadcast before the show starts."
"KIRIN-kun is not here today." She looked like a child who has had something precious taken away from her.
