At noon the next day, Asuka Saito walked carefully through the lounge corridor of TV Asahi. He had just read the guest list of the program at the elevator door and remembered the location of Kazuki Nishino's lounge. This time he was forced to do Hori Mio's job.
The task was very humiliating for her.
But it has to be done.
Today is TV Asahi's year-end quiz special program. It is only one year-end program and is broadcast during prime time. For the sake of variety, many guests were invited, so she and Takayama Kazumi were invited to participate as idols.
Logically speaking, it is understandable that Takayama Kazumi came to participate in the quiz program. She likes the quiz very much and has also done planning for the Nogizaka fortification, but she has no experience in that field. She was probably called here to fill up the number of people.
"Kazumi, I have to wait for so many guests to visit one by one. I'm so tired." Saito Asuka is very tired of this kind of thing, especially for seniors in the entertainment industry. They are often warned that etiquette must be fulfilled, but not every time
Everyone will get a response, and there will always be some people who think too highly of themselves.
"Yes, but Kazuki-san is here today." Takayama Kazuki suddenly mentioned Nishino Kazuki's name.
Saito Asuka was shocked when she heard her mention Nishino Kazuki: "I'm here now, it's still the same."
"If he is here, he can take care of us during the show. He is very good with Shusan." Takayama Kazumi thought about his good friend Na-chan's admiration for him and the tenderness of holding hands during the last training together at NHK TV station.
I can't help but feel some good feelings in my heart.
"Kazumi you...?"
Takayama Ichimi waved his hand and continued walking, saying, "I have nothing to do. Of course it's better to record the show with someone I know. It's like being on Banana Man-san's show. I'll feel a lot better if I go there, at least in my mood."
It will relax, right?"
"Yes." Asuka Saito wanted not to arouse the suspicion of his companions, so he deliberately did not mention Nishino Kazuki, but now his companions mentioned it themselves, which was a bit self-defeating.
The two came to the lounge, and the manager behind them closed the door. Saito Asuka thought about how to hand the letter to Nishino Kazuki quietly and without being noticed. After thinking for a while, the TV station staff came in.
.
After discussing it for a while, they were given the script of the program, which recorded the general process.
After the staff left, Saito Asuka stood up.
"Kazumi, I'm going to the bathroom and I'll be back soon."
Unexpectedly, Takayama Ichimi stood up directly and said, "I happen to want to go too, let's go together."
"..." Saito Asuka paused, "Okay."
My plan to pursue a solo career fell through.
Saito Asuka just went to the toilet, and then the two of them came back.
"It's time to go to the lounge and say hello, you two," the agent reminded.
So before Asuka Saito and Ichimi Takayama could sit down, they went straight out of the door and went to the guests' lounge.
Led by the manager, we first went to the main MC of the show and started saying hello one by one.
Saito Asuka was wearing a Nogizaka uniform. There was no place to put Hori Mina's letter on her body, and her lower body was a skirt. Fortunately, this uniform came with a jacket, so Saito Asuka put the letter in the middle of his jacket and stuffed it.
When she went in, the letter was a little wrinkled, but she couldn't care less about it.
After successfully greeting several bosses, Saito Asuka and Takayama arrived at Nishino Kazuki's lounge.
Saito Asuka unconsciously touched the place where the letter was placed on his coat, exhaled, and finalized the plan in his mind.
The agent knocked on the lounge door.
"Please come in."
It was Nishino Kazuki's voice.
The two tidied up their clothes, then the manager opened the door and stepped in.
Nishino Kazuki sat on the sofa with his back to the door. In front of him sat a TV station staff member with information in his hands, and an assistant stood beside him.
"He Shusang, let's say hello." It was Takayama Ichimi who spoke first.
Nishino Kazuki turned his head and did not stand up, quite casually.
"It turns out it's you, you're welcome."
Although the script of the quiz program is simple, it still needs to be discussed, and the producer of the program specially asked the script writer to design a simple link for him, and he was just discussing the process.
"Good afternoon to Kazuki Nishino, then we won't disturb you." Takayama raised the corners of his mouth and made two small dimples, as if he was very pleased with Nishino Kazuki's easy-going attitude.
Saito Asuka was troubled. There were so many people and he couldn't hand out the letter in front of everyone. He originally thought that if Nishino Kazuki was the only one in the lounge, he could go to the warehouse secretly, say hello and pretend to have dropped something before returning.
, and then wrote the letter in one go, but now it seems that it doesn’t work.
Then just send a message directly.
Saito Asuka just wanted to complete this task quickly, otherwise he would always feel a little stuck in his heart.
"Okay, see you in the studio then."
"goodbye."
Saito Asuka and Takayama retreated.
After leaving the door, the manager said to Saito Asuka: "Asuka, why didn't you say a word just now?"
When the bird came to his senses, it seemed as if he had not spoken and was only thinking about delivering the letter.
"Uh...I'm sorry." Saito Asuka replied.
The agent sighed: "It is basic courtesy to say hello to seniors when you see them. Please be careful."
"I see."
Takayama Kazumi also paid attention to Saito Asuka and felt that she seemed to have something on her mind. She didn't ask her just now, but now she couldn't help it anymore.
"Asuka-chan, are you okay?"
"Ah? No, no, why do you ask that?" Saito Asuka was startled by her sudden question and answered immediately.
"I see you were distracted. You almost walked into the men's room when you went to the toilet just now."
"...No, I actually didn't sleep well. I watched TV too late yesterday."
"Really? Okay." Takayama looked at her suspiciously.
Obviously when I came here before, I wasn't sleepy at all in the car and was still reading a book, which was strange.
Saito Asuka knew that talking too much would lead to mistakes, so he kept his mouth shut and the two of them returned to their lounge.
It is now more than half an hour before the show starts recording, and the staff will let the guests in in advance, so Asuka Saito still has about 15 minutes to complete her task.
First, she took out her mobile phone, opened Line, selected Nishino Kazuki's profile picture, and sent him a message.
Then I was in a state of anxiety and uncertainty, sometimes walking and sometimes sitting back, looking at the magazines placed in the lounge but unable to put them down until the line notification sounded.
Saito Asuka glanced at Takayama Ichimi before opening it, and saw that she seemed to be intoxicated in her own world, so he breathed a sigh of relief and opened the line.
