"I'm the worst at guessing riddles," Shinichi Iwahashi said.
Nakamori Akina cheated on him, "Guess it. If you guess it right, there will be a reward."
"What reward?" Iwahashi Shinichi, who was stingy and fond of eating soft food, was full of curiosity about her reward.
Akina Nakamori laughed again and tried to trick him, "Guess first. You'll know if you guess right."
"That's what I said, but if I don't know what the reward is, I have no motivation." Iwahashi Shinichi deliberately teased her at first.
Akina Nakamori asked him to lead her by the nose, and she almost got snuck in. Fortunately, she reacted immediately and couldn't defeat him, so she used a unique trick - lifting the chessboard, and said disgustedly: "Why are you so fussy about it?"
Iwahashi Shinichi asked her to make her laugh, and continued to play with her, "In your own home?"
"wrong."
"That was at a public phone box?"
"That's wrong."
After failing to guess twice, Shinichi Iwahashi thought for a while and said deliberately: "You've already come here and are hiding in my bedroom or the bathroom. Can you call me?"
Akina Nakamori denied it repeatedly and expressed contempt, "How is that possible?"
"That's a shame."
Iwahashi Shinichi expressed disappointment, "When I was still thinking about answering this answer, you said 'guessed it right' and then suddenly appeared."
"You know it's impossible, right?" Akina Nakamori knew he did it on purpose. However, suddenly appearing on the phone, this kind of imagination contained some subtle warmth, which made her tone much softer.
"I hope it's true." Iwahashi Shinichi blurted out in a hurry.
Nakamori Akina was very proud and asked him: "Do you want to see me?" This tone sounded like a big sister who had the upper hand and was trying to seduce her younger brother with candy.
"It's amazing." Shinichi Iwahashi said, "There is nothing I don't want to think about in my whole body."
On the other end of the phone, Nakamori Akina spoke in a long voice, beginning to express disgust, "Shinichi, you must be thinking about something strange."
Shinichi Iwahashi sounded innocent and dragged her into the water, "Don't you want to see me?"
"I don't want to," she replied.
"real?"
Akina Nakamori chuckled again, "Even if I say 'think', it's useless..."
"Um?"
"Didn't I ask you to guess where I am?" She finally couldn't help it, laughed loudly, and revealed the answer, "I'm in Sapporo."
This is really unexpected. I couldn’t guess it even after thirty-six guesses.
Iwahashi Shinichi said "Oh". He seemed to be struck by an invisible thunder and was speechless. When he answered the phone just now, he thought that he was in Tokyo with her and was happy to be closer. But he didn't expect that the distance had not changed.
It just fell off.
"Actually, we decided on the itinerary two days ago, but I kept it secret in order to scare you..." She said proudly.
Judging from this excited tone, I guess that when I knew I was going to have a perfect encounter with Iwahashi Shinichi, I had already started planning to call him that night to tease him.
Ever since the prank show started airing, Iwahashi Shinichi has been the target of pranks from time to time.
Whatever comes to mind comes to mind. Nakamori Akina told him about yesterday's TV show, "I had work last night and didn't watch it, so I prepared it in advance and recorded it. I'm really looking forward to it, so looking forward to it~"
She acted like a baby to Shinichi Iwahashi.
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and said, "I haven't watched it yet. I brought the videotape back."
"Do you want to watch it tonight?" She was curious. Before she got an answer, she took it upon herself to continue, "Actually, I really want to watch it with you."
"I would be very embarrassed." Shinichi Iwahashi said.
Akina Nakamori said "Hey~" and asked him in a tone that was insightful, "Did you say that on purpose?" The more he said he was embarrassed, the more Akina Nakamori wanted to watch it with him.
If you want to put it this way, it's not that Iwahashi Shinichi is playing hard to get, but that Nakamori Akina is evil and wants to see people make a fool of themselves.
The two of them started chatting on the phone.
Iwahashi Shinichi, who had just returned from Sapporo and had stayed there for a few days, was still feeling the smell of Sapporo. When he was chatting about Sapporo with Akina Nakamori, he had the illusion that he was still in Sapporo.
The phone line seemed to be blurred and lost a lot of things, causing two people who were far apart to suddenly become closer to each other.
But maybe it's because the distance between our hearts is closer.
Akina Nakamori told him that she came to Sapporo today and saw reports about the DREAMSCOMETRUE concert. After hearing this, Shinichi Iwahashi remembered her illness and told her, "The temperature in Sapporo is low at night, so don't wear any clothes when going out.
Too thin.”
When he mentioned this, he remembered that he was photographed by a reporter from Sapporo and had to make a mosaic of his face afterwards. However, this matter was so trivial that he didn't take it to heart, so he felt there was no need to mention it.
"Besides, it's best not to go out after taking a shower..." He continued to talk about his experience.
This actually made Akina Nakamori on the other end of the phone laugh, "That's a bit long-winded."
"..." Okay. He was long-winded.
She noticed Iwahashi Shinichi's depression, and while continuing to laugh, she said to him, "I don't think I heard you tell me this." It was more like what she would say than Iwahashi Shinichi.
An idea came to Nakamori Akina's mind, and she asked in a joking tone: "Could it be that you, Shinichi, caught a cold after going out to play after taking a bath at night?"
"Hmm." This precise intuition.
"Really?" Nakamori Akina's joking tone turned serious.
Iwahashi Shinichi answered her questions and listened to her chatter. Suddenly, he felt like he was being grabbed by her sleeves, asking questions and looking around. He asked her to read this, and in a daze, she felt that at this moment
My girlfriend has quite the charm of a mother.
"How can you do such a thing when you go out to play without blow-drying your hair after taking a shower?" Akina Nakamori felt that it was not his style.
Iwahashi Shinichi sighed and began to feel that he couldn't bear the meal, "Anyway, my body is well now, so don't worry."
"So, were you sick when you called me?" she thought.
Shinichi Iwahashi admitted honestly, "It was already pretty good at that time. It wasn't something worth mobilizing troops and mass in the first place..."
Indeed, even if he said "I can't afford it", it would be impossible to run to take care of him. Thinking of this, Akina Nakamori couldn't help but feel discouraged.
"I was lying to you just now when I said 'I don't want to'." She repeated her old words.
She spoke to him in a low voice as if whispering into the phone, "Actually, I really want to see you."
Iwahashi Shinichi felt itchy in his heart when he heard her confession. The distance that had been blurred across the phone line immediately became clear again. The two of them were just far apart.
He wanted to say something, but Akina Nakamori snatched the topic away first, "Let me tell you."
"What?"
"The producer of Fuji TV wants to invite me to act in a TV series." Akina Nakamori told him.
Iwahashi Shinichi said "hmm" and listened to her next words.
"The protagonist is engaged in the publishing industry or the recording industry, which is a different job from ordinary office workers. It is an urban TV series set in this background." She said it herself, but she had only a vague understanding of it.
However, this is enough for people to get a general idea. In this bubble era, such TV series are very popular. The protagonist is not a boring nine-to-five office worker. He is either engaged in freelance work, an artist, or
Just work in a place like a broadcasting bureau or the record industry where you can be more relaxed and casual - whether it's about dressing or relationships between men and women.
Then, you dress fashionably, live in a beautiful apartment, and play in bars and discos every night. Although you are so drunk, you still have your own persistence in your heart, or you feel empty and unsatisfied... and so on. Even young people can open up.
In the era of BMW, however, there are just as many young people who can show off their talents as there are young people who don’t know what to do in this flashy world.
TV dramas should not only resonate with people, but also satisfy people's imagination.
"However, I rejected it," said Akina Nakamori.
She was not seeking Iwahashi Shinichi's opinion, but reporting the matter to him.
"Although I have also tried acting, but compared to being an actor, it would be great if I could do a good job as a singer..." Although she admires Yamaguchi Momoe, she has no intention of singing and shadowing like Yamaguchi Momoe.
.
"It's not like I haven't received invitations before. Because I didn't really want to do it, the office helped me and turned them down." Akina Nakamori told him.
Iwahashi Shinichi, who had seen her domineering in the recording studio, could understand why Kenyin followed her temper. And, to be honest, Akina Nakamori at her peak was so busy that she didn't even go.
Acting time.
When she has already accumulated top popularity and popularity through singing, there is no need for her to become an actress. Against the background of her huge record sales every year, the little money she can earn as an actress is not worth mentioning.
If you have the time to act, you might as well sing more songs, participate in more shows, and make more money for your agency.
"However, this time the manager of the agency advised me that the script was good and I could consider it." Akina Nakamori told him, "He also mentioned that the agency is currently expanding its business as an actor..."
She didn't really like these convoluted things. To put it bluntly, she thought Iwahashi Shinichi could understand, so she stopped on her own initiative. From this point of view, she was willful and believed that Iwahashi Shinichi could understand.
Of course Iwahashi Shinichi understands that Kenyin is expanding its acting business, and Akina Nakamori, a Taopu star who has reached the top of the tower, can use her in exchange for corresponding film and television resources if she can be sent to act.
"This way, I don't want to act even more." She was acting awkwardly like a child.
Iwahashi Shinichi was helpless. This kind of personality that comes out as soon as she thinks of it is enough for the office to have a headache. It can only be said that fortunately she is Taopu Star and has this willful capital.
However, the Yanyin Association is interested in letting her act again. In addition to wanting to use her Taopusida in exchange for resources, it is also probably because she is slowing down the speed of releasing records and TV stations are cutting idol variety shows. She no longer has to be as busy as before.
At the same time, her singing career also started to show signs of decline after its peak period.
"Shinichi, you said before that you wanted to see me perform in a stage play." Nakamori Akina suddenly mentioned.
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled, "Do you still remember?"
"I remember it clearly." She said like a top student repeating the teacher's words, "You said that when I sing, I look like a stage actor."
He found it even more interesting, "Yes, it's really clear."
"If it were a stage play, the office would probably say 'no' one after another." Akina Nakamori said and laughed.
Stage plays have a long cycle. Once the project starts, you can't do anything for more than half a year and have to concentrate on it. If you can't make money for the office, it is expected that you will be rejected.
Although it was followed by the topic of rejecting the TV drama invitation, she showed that she did not hate stage dramas.
"Having said that, I now feel that Akina, you are a good match for the stage." Iwahashi Shinichi said sincerely.
His words were full of appreciation for Nakamori Akina's talent. If possible, I really hope she can shine on the stage forever.
However, Iwahashi Shinichi's appreciation made Nakamori Akina happy, but she couldn't help but think in her heart that when they talked about work, the two of them were thinking about different things.
"By the way, there's something else I want to tell you." She changed the topic again.
"What?"
"I made a big discovery a few days ago."
Iwahashi Shinichi thought she was going to say something big, but as soon as Tousta opened her mouth, she said: "Toshi-chan and Miho-chan, they seem to have a very good relationship."
Toshi-chan is Toshihiko Tahara, and Miho-chan is Miho Nakayama.
"I thought you were going to say something." Iwahashi Shinichi asked her to dodge.
Who would have thought that this Taopusida would gossip about his colleagues with his boyfriend.
"I'm not dating, I just seem to be very compatible. However, those two are quite a match..." Nakamori Akina muttered to him.
Listening to her gossipy tone, Iwahashi Shinichi interrupted with a smile: "Do idols also gossip about each other?"
"Um……"
She reacted as if Iwahashi Shinichi had just guessed.
…
The night before, she gossiped about her colleagues to her boyfriend. The next day, on the way from Sapporo to Otaru, Akina Nakamori flipped through a magazine to kill time, and she saw her boyfriend appearing on the inside page of the magazine.
Or with other women.
The headline read, "Yoshida Miwa-san returns to her homeland in fine clothes, smiling in Sapporo late at night."
The accompanying picture is of a street in Sapporo late at night. Miwa Yoshida is walking happily on the road, talking and laughing with the man who is walking with her. It is said that she is talking and laughing, but in fact, she can only see Miwa Yoshida’s cheerful smile and talking about something.
Something like that. The man with her had a large mosaic covering his face. She didn't know what kind of behavior he had, let alone what his expression was.
The small text below the picture introduces that this is a staff member of Yoshida Miwa Office.
Nakamori Akina looked at this message for a while. The staff member who was photographed with Yoshida Miwa looked like her boyfriend. Not only that, the watch he was wearing on his wrist was a watch given by him.
Ordinary photos, looking at the content, they just say something like "The night before the rehearsal, Yoshida-san, who returned home in full glory, took a happy walk in Sapporo." Such a piece of news is not even considered gossip, it can only be said to be "news."
", to the extent that people would flip through it at a glance. Akina Nakamori read it and was ready to flip through it.
Then, as soon as his hands stopped, something suddenly occurred to him.
He just said that it was not his style to go out to play without drying his hair after taking a shower.
