Shinichi Iwahashi complained. As soon as he spoke, his throat felt dry, as if smoke was coming out. He considered, "Bring me some water, okay?"
"What a pitiful face."
As if she had seized the opportunity to ridicule him, Miwa-chan stared at his face and said something.
"..."
The little fox couldn't say anything good. Iwahashi Shinichi was speechless. She seemed completely unaware that what she said was not considerate enough, and it didn't look like she was comforting the patient. She leaned forward, stretched out her hand, and touched his forehead.
touch.
"You should test your temperature with the back of your hand, right?" Iwahashi Shinichi suggested.
Miwa-chan didn't answer. She still put her palm against his forehead, with a sullen face, as if she was having a quarrel with someone. She had been like this all day long, and she had nothing to say.
, looking neither happy nor angry.
Iwahashi Shinichi knew that she felt guilty and uncomfortable for what happened last night. The more she felt that she was at fault, the more she only focused on quarreling with herself instead of apologizing frankly. This is Miwa-chan's character.
I know that she feels uncomfortable in her heart, and because of this, I won't say harsh words to her.
However, what concerned Shinichi Iwahashi even more was the phone call he received from the concert director in the afternoon.
Thinking of Miwa-chan's mood that she would rather refund the audience's tickets than agree to arrange a substitute member, Shinichi Iwahashi sighed, not expecting to drink the water poured by the little fox himself, "Your hands are really warm."
With seemingly inexhaustible enthusiasm and vitality, Miwa-chan's hands are always warm, unlike Nakamori Akina's hands which are always cold.
Hearing what he said, Miwa-chan took her hand back and stood up to pour him some water.
"When did you come?" Iwahashi Shinichi was curious.
Miwa-chan asked as if nothing had happened, "Do you want me to help you up?" At this moment, she seemed to be taking care of him.
"That's no need. It's not like he's seriously ill." He got up by himself, took a drink of water, and breathed a sigh of relief. His throat felt better, and later he realized that he felt much lighter.
"How was today's rehearsal?" Iwahashi Shinichi asked.
Miwa-chan didn't answer his question, "How do you feel now? Are you feeling better? Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"
A series of questions were thrown at him, leaving Shinichi Iwahashi stunned.
"My stomach is growling." He responded, but this was the first answer.
However, feeling hungry meant that his physical condition had improved a lot. Iwahashi Shinichi felt a little hot under the quilt, so he quietly stretched out one foot and continued to say, "Tomorrow..."
"Tomorrow." Miwa-chan looked at him, "Shinichi-kun will definitely get better tomorrow, right?"
"I feel much better now." Iwahashi Shinichi smiled, "Of course I also want to say 'yes'." He deliberately did not mention that the director had called him in advance and told him about the two backup plans.
When you don't know anything about the outside world.
"That's it."
Miwa-chan held her cheeks in her hands and looked at him, "Didn't you say that we are DREAMS COME TRUE? So, there will definitely be no problem."
These words sounded willful and unreasonable, but Miwa-chan, who said these words, to a certain extent, had no idea in her mind. She stretched out her hand and took Iwahashi Shinichi's hand, as if holding her own
His uneasiness was conveyed to him. But when he opened his mouth, what he said was: "It's rare that you come to Sapporo, and I don't even have the chance to entertain you properly."
"Indeed." Iwahashi Shin nodded.
She has always been good at climbing along poles, so she took advantage of the situation and made an appointment with him for the next time: "Then when I come next time, I will take you to play everywhere."
"Okay." He agreed.
Miwa-chan continued to climb up, "How about going to the zoo in Asahikawa to see the giraffes?"
"Okay." Iwahashi Shinichi listened.
The more she talked, the more outrageous she said, climbing higher and higher along the pole, "If you want to go to Susukino, just send me the bill. I have already said that I will entertain you, so just feel free to do whatever you want."
That’s it.”
"..."
Iwahashi Shinichi was speechless and simply turned his head away, not wanting to look at her, and selectively ignored the fact that he was the first to make fun of Susukino Happy Street.
"Anyway, I will definitely come to Hokkaido in the future."
Miwa-chan didn't seem to understand Iwahashi Shinichi's speechlessness at all, so she said her own, "KIRIN-kun is Shinichi-kun, and no one can replace you. Even if it doesn't work this time, I can perform again next time."
"No one can replace me?" Iwahashi Shinichi turned his head.
Miwa-chan nodded, "So, if Shinichi-kun can't play tomorrow, I'll make your spot available." She grabbed Iwahashi Shinichi's hand, "Can I do this?"
Her stubborn face suddenly showed a trace of the uneasiness of a small animal.
"Okay." Iwahashi Shinichi promised her, "If I really can't go on stage, I'll do as you say."
He also made up his mind, "I'll go talk to the company."
As long as Shinichi Iwahashi stands on her side, things will proceed according to her ideas. However, Miwa-chan doesn't feel that she has won or has received reassurance.
She lowered her head and looked at Iwahashi Shinichi's hand, which she held in her own, "I also know that this is very willful."
"It's not like you to say that." Iwahashi Shinichi deliberately teased her.
Miwa-chan glanced at him, "Can't I know that I am being willful?"
"Of course." Iwahashi Shinichi was helpless. He knew that he had to be willful even if he was willful, so he would be the little fox with a mouse and a gun that Shinichi Iwahashi was familiar with.
Sure enough, in terms of character, we can't have too high expectations for this guy.
"However, I am not so willful because I want to cause you trouble."
Miwa-chan said seriously, "I want you, Masato-san, just the three of us to continue this way as DREAMS COME TRUE."
Because of this, I am so stubborn and willful that the three-person lineup cannot be changed.
Of course Iwahashi Shinichi knew it in his heart.
"It will definitely continue like this, right?" Miwa-chan asked him.
She stared at Shinichi Iwahashi, waiting for an answer.
Shinichi Iwahashi is getting busier and busier, and the work of the band is like a chain tied to his feet. Miwa-chan can't help but see that he is constantly being pulled away by the work of the record company and the band.
Miwa-chan hopes that Iwahashi Shinichi can also "dream come true", just like Iwahashi Shinichi supported her dream to come true little by little. If possible, she is willing to help him.
If you think so, maybe you should let him go and let him go back behind the scenes and focus on the record company. However, for Miwa-chan, one of the dreams she has realized is because Iwahashi Shinichi is there, so she came to light
On.
If Iwahashi Shinichi is let go and leaves the band, then one of the four corners of her dream will turn gray forever.
Miwa-chan knew that she was not a selfless person, and would rather regret herself than help others, but she never thought that it would be because of herself that this contradiction that she had been deliberately ignoring would be brought to the table.
"Yes." Iwahashi Shin nodded, "I will."
Miwa-chan suddenly smiled, her smile shining brightly as if it could light up the room. She released her hold on Iwahashi Shinichi's hand and stretched out her little finger, "It's agreed!"
We will sing together as DREAMS COME TRUE until we die of old age. Until that day, we must not let go.
Iwahashi Shinichi hooked her little finger and made a decision in his heart.
…
In the evening, Shinichi Iwahashi no longer had a fever, but his head still hurt. He ate something and continued to recover in his room.
Brother Nakamura and the staff went to Susukino Happy Street to have a fun time. Miwa-chan was worried that Shinichi Iwahashi was bored, so she enthusiastically proposed to come and play with him, but Shinichi Iwahashi decisively refused.
If you let this little fox play with you, you will definitely not be bored if you are bored, but it is hard to say whether your head will hurt even more.
Regarding the backup plan for tomorrow's concert, Shinichi Iwahashi communicated with the director and told him that if he could not go on stage, he would do as Miwa-chan said and broadcast live and prepare a refund desk in advance.
When he spoke, it meant that he took the responsibility for problems that may arise. In this way, no matter what the director thinks, he will now cooperate with his decision.
However, Iwahashi Shinichi feels that if he doesn't get burned tonight, he should be able to play tomorrow.
I was just thinking about something in my mind when the phone rang.
Iwahashi Shinichi reached out and picked up the phone. It was Watanabe Manyumi calling.
"Didn't it disturb you?" she asked.
"I slept all day during the day, and now I'm worried about how I'm going to sleep later." Iwahashi Shinichi replied.
Watanabe Wan Yumi smiled and said, "It seems like you are feeling better if you are so troubled."
"Mobile troops and mobilized people, even Tokyo knew about it."
"Of course I know. You went to Sapporo as DREAMS COME TRUE. How your health is is related to the effect of the subsequent performance."
The tour is such a big one, with a lot of investment, if something goes wrong, the losses will be too much to bear.
"Yes, BOSS." Shinichi Iwahashi told her that she had a headache from reading it, and deliberately poked her smile.
Hearing her smile, the headache he had just felt was finally relieved.
"Is there no big problem with your health?" Watanabe Wan Yumi began to care about him.
Iwahashi Shinichi told her, "It's probably a little nervous fatigue, and I just caught a cold." He also felt that he would fall ill if he blew a little cold air. This script was too heroine, and he was a little unwilling. "How could I have thought that I would get sick because of such a trivial matter?
."
"It's the little things that you don't take seriously that can easily lead to problems." Watanabe Manyumi said with a smile.
It was laughable, but it was impossible to fool Watanabe Wan Yumi. She brought the topic back to business, "The accompanying staff contacted Tokyo and said that if you can't appear, your seat will be vacated."
"That's the plan."
Watanabe Manyumi heard his answer and commented, "It's something Yoshida-san and you can do."
Others may not know it, but Watanabe Manyumi is well aware of the composition of DREAMS COME TRUE, and is also well aware of the bond between Yoshida Miwa and Iwahashi Shinichi.
But if something like fetters is taken too seriously, it will actually become a hindrance.
"However, I now feel that I can appear tomorrow." Shinichi Iwahashi said.
It would be a pity if he missed one of the first circus tours due to illness. As long as he is in good condition, Iwahashi Shinichi will participate. And...
Iwahashi Shinichi thought of the decision he made in his heart when he hooked up with Miwa-chan just now.
After listening to his words, Watanabe Wan Yumi suddenly asked: "Have you ever thought about what to do in the future?"
"ah."
The two happened to be thinking about the same thing. Iwahashi Shinichi was stunned.
Watanabe Manyumi continued her talk, "The band can't just hold large-scale concerts like this. How do you plan to deal with schedule conflicts then?"
"You can't bring the clerk with you every time and call Tokyo."
If Shinichi Iwahashi doesn't untie the chain of DREAMS COME TRUE under his feet, he will be doomed to be tied up. This time, after things got to this point, Watanabe Wan Yumi couldn't help but want to talk things out.
"That's right." Iwahashi Shin nodded, "It's time to sort things out." For him, the window paper was punctured under such circumstances, and the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.
"If I quit the band, it will probably be very difficult for Yoshida-san." Watanabe Manyumi heard what the staff said about Yoshida Miwa, and she knew that if Iwahashi Shinichi really quit the band, it would be a fatal blow to the band.
"I have no plans to quit the band, Wan Yumi-san. Of course, I have not considered finding a replacement member to wear a giraffe hood in my place." Iwahashi Shinichi said.
This illness exposed the sincerity of all parties. Knowing what Miwa-chan thinks, it is impossible for Shinichi Iwahashi to go against her thoughts.
Watanabe Wan Yumi shut her mouth and waited to hear his next words.
"So, I will continue to participate in record production, and I will also participate in activities during the promotion period. Anyway, with the band's current momentum, releasing a new record only requires a trip to those major TV stations, and there is no need to travel all over the country.
Run west."
"..."
"What I am considering is to participate in the band's daily activities, but not participate in the annual theme tour." Shinichi Iwahashi told her, "At that time, the audience will be informed on the flyer before the tour that KIRIN-kun will not appear in the performance.
"
This was his idea of solving the problem that he had not mentioned to anyone yet.
"To the general public, although I am the leader and producer of the band, these two things cannot be intuitively understood. Even if I don't appear, it will not affect their ability to watch the show."
"As long as I don't participate in theme tours and my daily work is concentrated in Tokyo, wouldn't it be much easier?" Iwahashi Shinichi said.
Watanabe Manyumi was silent for a while, "It is a way. However, directly announcing that Kirin-kun will no longer participate in the tour may leave a bad impression on the public. If we really want to do this, we must make a smoother transition."
"The hardest thing to solve is Yoshida-san's idea," she said.
Shinichi Iwahashi did not answer the question, but changed the subject, "Will the agency make money from this outdoor tour?"
"Now it seems that I have made money." Watanabe Manyumi replied, "It is not easy to make money on outdoor tours."
"The audience's reputation is also good, right?"
“A big hit.”
Iwahashi Shinichi said "Yeah", "That's good."
"so?"
"So," Shinichi Iwahashi said, "since the reputation is good and we are making money, how about continuing this outdoor tour?"
Then, have the giraffe man appear only during this outdoor tour.
