When Nishino Kazuki pressed the doorbell, he actually hesitated.
This is a remote house in Meguro District, Tokyo. It is already 11:30. The prosperity of this area is far less than that of other places, and there is almost no one on the road at this point.
It took Nishino Kazuki a long time to find this place. It was really hard to find this house, and there were many winding roads. Only then did he know from the house number that the address Yui Aragaki gave him was here.
The nameplate at the door of the house said Panasonic. Nishino Kazuki compared the note several times to make sure it was correct before pressing the doorbell.
The doorbell rang, Nishino Kazuki waited for a few minutes, but no one opened the door.
Just as he was about to press the doorbell, the door finally opened.
This fairly good security door opened about a third of the way, and Nishino Kazuki took a step sideways before he could see the person inside.
"Nishino-kun, you are finally here."
The person inside was indeed Aragaki Yui. She seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and she breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Nishino Kazuki's face.
Nishino Kazuki didn't say anything, just nodded, and then entered the house sideways.
After the door was completely closed, Nishino Kazuki asked: "Gakki-san, what's going on?"
Nishino Kazuki couldn't figure out the reason. It seemed that Yui Aragaki had something to hide.
"You come in first and I'll tell you later."
Yui Aragaki unexpectedly wore an all-black coat that she had never seen before. Her hairstyle was different from the one at the party just now. It was tied up. There was also a pair of black glasses on her eyes. You could tell at a glance that they were flat.
Nishino Kazuki changed into slippers and followed her into the house.
The first floor was not very spacious. After passing the entrance, Kazuki Nishino went straight up the stairs that turned left. There was a small attic in the middle. He glanced at what seemed to be a kitchen for cooking.
Aragaki Yui said nothing, and Nishino Kazuki simply followed her.
The two of them went up to the second floor, came to the door, and opened it.
It suddenly dawned on me. I thought it was a small room, but I didn't expect that there was a whole other world.
It is like a fully decorated leisure place. There are several fresh-colored art paintings on the walls around the room. There is a white leather high-end sofa in the middle. Facing the sofa is an approximately 70-inch Sony TV, which is turned off at the moment.
, and under the TV are video recorders and players, and there are various game equipment next to them.
A facility similar to an open bar was built on the wall near the west. There was a huge double-door refrigerator in front of it, and all kinds of snacks in the back. Nishino Kazuki glanced at it, and it seemed that there were even snacks special to the station.
"Where is this?" Nishino Kazuki sat on the sofa and looked around.
"This is my friend's place. I'm temporarily borrowing it for today." Yui Aragaki answered Nishino Kazuki's question, and then asked, "What do you want to drink?"
“Coffee would be nice.”
Nishino Kazuki was escorted by others at the banquet today, and Murakami Nobu blocked a lot of wine for him, so he did not get drunk directly like the previous times, but he was still a little light-headed, but fortunately he was still conscious.
So drink some coffee to refresh yourself.
Yui Aragaki nodded, walked to the refrigerator, opened it, took two cans of coffee, and handed one to Kazuki Nishino.
"Thanks."
Nishino Kazuki opened the can, took a sip, and felt much more awake.
Aragaki Yui's own coffee was not touched and was just placed on the sofa.
"Nishino-kun, I called you here today because I want to tell you something."
"you say."
"I'm ready to quit the Lespro agency." Yui Aragaki looked calm, but said something that surprised Kazuki Nishino.
"Quiting from the company?! Why?"
Kazuki Nishino was puzzled. Yui Aragaki was a cash cow for LesPro and a big-name actress that they had access to. The agency also provided good resources. Why would she want to quit the agency?
"Because of certain things." Yui Aragaki finally showed a troubled expression in front of Nishino Kazuki, "Actually, I didn't have this idea at first, but there was no way."
"What exactly do you mean?"
Aragaki Yui calmed down, and placed her right hand unconsciously by her side, holding the can of coffee.
"Do you still remember when I asked you to pretend to be my boyfriend at Kitagawa Keiko's wedding ceremony?"
"Well, there is this thing." Kazuki Nishino still remembered that he was also dragged to meet Ken Honma of Lespro.
"At that time, I took the liberty to ask you to avoid Honma Ken's entertainment." Yui Aragaki said, "I'm sorry to say that, relying on your status, I was free for a while, but nearly half a year has passed, and he
It’s back to his old ways again.”
Kazuki Nishino knew that there were some dirty things happening to the senior management of the firm, including Horipro, but he didn't know the details.
"Did you have a falling out because of this incident?" Nishino Kazuki was a good listener.
"Not entirely," she said.
"I rejected him many times. He saw that I was determined, so he didn't push me too much." Yui Aragaki breathed a sigh of relief, "But then he thought of others."
"Qingshui-chan was harmed by him like this."
"Shimizu-chan?" Nishino Kazuki thought for a few seconds, "Shimizu Fumika?"
"Um."
Nishino Kazuki immediately thought of the famous news in later generations. The son of the leader of a cult broke off the father-son relationship with him because he did not want to marry a saint in the cult.
And this saint seems to be Shimizu Fumika.
"Shimizu-chan is one of my best friends and juniors in the office, but because of Ken Honma, she was called out to accompany her for drinks, and even..." Yui Aragaki didn't want to be too straightforward.
, “Then I found out she had recently joined the Happy Scientology Church.”
Sure enough, Nishino Kazuki understood clearly in his heart that it was no wonder that Shimizu Fumika wanted to quit the club and join a cult at the height of the popularity. It turned out to be this reason.
"Is that a cult?"
"Well... I talked to Shimizu-chan and asked her not to get too close to them, but it was of no use." Aragaki Yui sighed and shook her head, "Shimizu-chan said that as long as she joins the church
, the leader can protect her so that she will not be threatened by the world and can live as she pleases."
"This—she believed it?"
"I believe it, I believe it without a doubt." Yui Aragaki continued, "For this matter, Ken Honma argued with her again and openly threatened her. I was so angry that I said a few words, and then he joined me.
scold."
"I said that after I became famous, I forgot about the training of the firm and refused to contribute myself. I am a selfish person." Yui Aragaki seemed a little angry when talking about this. "I said that he completely ignored others for his own desires.
Life or death."
"Later, Ken Honma got angry because of my contradiction and said some cruel words."
Nishino Kazuki could probably think of something in his head.
"I thought of quitting the company at that time, and the next day my manager who had been with me for many years was replaced."
