I push the child!

Chapter 79 78. Don't talk, just focus on eating
On the night when the recording was completed, Katsuya Kabuki personally edited the filmed interview promotional video and sent it to Saito Ichigo's mailbox.

Saito Ichigo uploaded the video to the official Twitter account of Berry Pro Office, and Katsuya Kaburaki reposted it for publicity.

The next morning, Makimura Taku, Ogura Yuki and Hoshino Ai came to the training room.

Katsuki, who arrived early, also placed his mobile phone on two tables that were pieced together, showing them the promotional effect of the video.

The three of them leaned out and glanced at the screen. The five-minute video had more than 5 likes, 300 forwards, and more than 35 comments.

More than a dozen of them said that Mr. Kasimaki has a new artist?Looking forward to your first hand message.

There are also ten comments from new female fans who have taken a fancy to Makimura Taku, a newcomer actor.

The number of people who mentioned Ai Hoshino and Yuki Ogura was unexpectedly high, probably because the video contained various labels such as "beautiful girl", "girl idol", and "underage female actor" that are easy to spread to active male users.

Comments such as "It looks good", "This newcomer named Ai Hoshino looks a little familiar, has he been on the show?", "Youxi! I will always fall in love with short-haired girls!!" and other comments also appeared.

"The effect of the publicity is not bad." When Yuki Ogura swiped the screen, Katsuki Kabuki said to the three of them abruptly.

Ai Hoshino, who was staring at the comments and browsing one by one, sat up straight and looked up at Katsuya Kabagi from below: "Is this considered to be a debut? Mr. Kabagi?"

"How is it possible? At least as an actor, let's talk about it first?" He said as he pulled up a chair and sat down with his legs crossed.

"Although a lot of the views are brought in through my own account, overall," he glanced at the three of them, and then crossed his hands on his knees, "it's really rare for the first video to have such a number of likes."

"How much should there be normally?"

"Basically no more than a hundred."

Takumura leaned on the table and asked, "With your network resources, Mr. Kabuki, it won't be a problem to double the effect of the publicity, right?"

Ai Hoshino looked at his profile from the opposite side, Yuki Ogura nodded in approval, looked at Katsuya Kaburaki and said:
"Wouldn't it be better to find other producers in the circle to help promote it, or use the official account of the LALALAI troupe..."

"Hey, you guys are just newcomers, don't you think too much of yourself?" Kazumi Kasame also said with a smile, "It's my responsibility as a producer to help publicize. Do you want other people to give you face? You don't even have any works that can be sold now. What do you want others to promote?"

"Do you have to work?"

"Is it okay to create gods out of thin air?"

"Can it still be like this?" Ai Hoshino looked surprised.

Ogura Yuki said: "As long as we continue to invest in operating funds, when the time comes..."

"I'm talking about you guys," Katsuya Kabagi interrupted her, and said with a headache, "As an artist, at least put your mind in order first, right? Even if you are rich, if you want to become famous on the road of opportunism, you are destined to not go far. What you should do is to produce decent content to attract audiences, understand?"

"Although I didn't understand it, it makes sense!" Ai Hoshino said.

Makimura Taku thought for a while: "I thought that every producer would do whatever it takes to promote their artists, doesn't it seem?"

"It feels rare." Ogura Yuki glanced at him and agreed.

Kabuki Katsuya also denied it after listening:
"Of course it's impossible not to promote it. It's just that I have relatively high expectations for the three of you. I just want to see how far you can go with your own abilities. Now it seems that you have reached your expectations. If you can maintain and increase this momentum of growth, fame is only one opportunity away for you."

The three of them nodded silently, Kasame Kabuki also stood up, and continued the training to be explained in the morning.

After the training ended at eleven o'clock, other producers came to him. He took the briefcase in the cabinet, greeted him, and left the room.

During the break at noon, Yuki Ogura was going to ask the driver to drive the three of them to dinner.

Mucuntuo felt that there was no need to go through a lot of trouble, just find a restaurant nearby, and the two women had no objections.

They took the elevator down and walked down the street to a family restaurant.

Because the location is a few kilometers away from the nearest high school, there are not many customers in the restaurant.

They sat down in the four-seater corner, and Yuki Ogura took the menu to the waiter to order.

Afterwards, he took Ai Hoshino, who seldom came to this kind of place to eat, to the all-you-can-drink bar and returned with three glasses of juice.

"This cup is for you."

"Thank you."

"Thank you seems too strange?" Ogura Yuki didn't like this sentence very much, "We have known each other for a long time, so don't say it next time."

She waited for Ai Hoshino to sit in, and then sat down at the aisle.

Mu Cuntuo took a sip of the juice, and could clearly feel that it was freshly squeezed: "I'm used to it, so I changed it anyway."

"Why can't it be changed?"

"trouble."

"Makimura," Ai Hoshino smiled with interest, "You are still the same as you were at the beginning."

"This probably means not forgetting the original intention." Mucuntuo pretended to be contemplative.

"Forget about bad habits." Ogura Yuki said displeased.

Ai Hoshino surrounded the coffee with both hands, and looked at Yuki Ogura, her long hair fluttering slightly with the slight movement of turning her head:
"Is this a bad habit? How should I put it, I think it would be nice to be polite."

Yuki Ogura paused for a second, and then both women looked at Taku Makimura.

Under the watchful eyes of the two, Mucun Taku picked up the paper cup with a calm expression and poured a sip of drink into his mouth.

Before the waiter delivered the finished lunch, Hoshino Ai opened up another topic: "Speaking of which, Yuki."

"Ok?"

Takuya Makimura raised his head subconsciously.

Although his movements were small and quiet, Hoshino Ai still glanced at him with the eyes of a passerby, and Ogura Yuki also turned his head.

Mu Cuntuo was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't say anything, but he always felt like he interrupted the topic.

Ai Hoshino continued to look at Yuki Ogura, and she asked, "Youki, did you know Mucun a long time ago?"

Ogura Yuki waved his hands reflexively: "No. It's not very early."

Makimura Takumi pricked up his ears and listened.

"Last year?"

"The time is indeed last year."

"That's it." Ai Hoshino touched her lower lip with her finger, "If you think about it carefully, I have only known Mucun for more than six months."

Ogura Yuki quickly calculated the time when they met: "So, I thought you knew each other very early, didn't you?"

"How is it possible?" Mu Cuntuo interjected.

"Huh? Do you have anything to say?" Yuki Ogura turned to him with an iceberg-like expression on his face.

"Speaking of this..." Hoshino Ai's soft voice attracted the attention of the two of them, "I always feel that I know Mucun, it's really a coincidence."

She paused, and Yuki Ogura waited for her to continue. She pointed at Taku Makimura with a smile:

"If I hadn't caught that train back then, maybe I wouldn't have been able to go to Echigo Yuzawa. If I didn't know Makimura, I probably wouldn't be an idol or an actor now. Looking at it this way, fate is really amazing~ isn't it?"

"It stands to reason that some things may be predestined."

"Oh——" Hoshino Ai was full of energy, "This kind of statement seems to be good!"

"Echigo Yuzawa?" Yuki Ogura caught the word sensitively.

"what happened?"

"No, it's nothing," although she said so, she still asked Mu Cuntuo, "Didn't Karuizawa know you?"

"This one……"

"No," Ai Hoshino replied for him, "Before going to Karuizawa, I traveled to other places, and that place seems to be called Echigo Yuzawa... I don't really remember much."

She asked Makimura Taku, "Really?"

"...The name is indeed this."

At this time, the waiter with three different meals stopped in the aisle: "It's been a long time."

He put down the food, only Mucun Taku said thank you.

Ogura Yuki ordered a steak rice for himself, Makimura Takumi ordered a Japanese-style fried chicken and croquette set, and Hoshino Ai only ordered a cheap omelet rice.

The meal was served, but the three of them were not in a hurry to start.

When the waiter walked away, Yuki Ogura continued to ask questions: "So it's a trip?"

"Hmm... can you say go out and relax?" Ai Hoshino thought for a while.

"I see." Yuki Ogura held the knife and fork used for eating steak in his hand, turned his eyes to Taku Makimura, and then stared at his own plate, "After Xiao Ai said so, I found that the encounter between me and Makimura was quite a coincidence."

Hoshino Ai showed curiosity: "Is that so?"

"Should it be?" Yuki Ogura said looking straight at Makimura Taku, "Did you run to my shop every day after you saw me at that time, insisting on petting the cat with me?"

"No way?" Hoshino Ai had a hard time imagining the scene of Takumi Makimura doing this, but she still cast her eyes on him.

While picking up the croquette with a fork, Makimura Taku asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Is not it?"

"Two of the three sentences..." Before he finished speaking, Yuki Ogura kicked him from under the table.

"Isn't it?" Yuki Ogura asked with a smile this time.

Makimura Taku really didn't want to explain too much: "Yes, yes, it's just like what you said."

Ai Hoshino looked at the two of them, while Yuki Ogura put on a barely satisfied smile.

Mu Cuntuo didn't know the meaning of talking about it, so he buried his head and started eating.

Back in the troupe building in the afternoon, Katsuya Kabagi said that he was late due to something and asked them to practice by themselves first.

Reading books, watching videos of seniors, honing your acting skills in front of scripts, and even looking up information on the Internet are all good. In short, don't hold tea parties anymore.

As soon as Makimura Taku agreed on the phone, Ogura Yuki sent someone to deliver the coffee machine purchased last night.

Hoshino Ai, who was criticized just yesterday, also lost her memory at all.

While asking Yuki Ogura how to use the coffee machine, she turned to ask Makimura Taku who was reading a book if he wanted a drink.

Makimura Taku didn't want it, but Yuki Ogura picked it up for him without further ado, calling it:

As long as you make mistakes with us, Mr. Kabagi will have nothing to do with us.

Hoshino Ai didn't expect this at first, but when she came to her senses, she immediately gave a thumbs up and praised with a cute expression, Makimura Taku is really easy to use!
What does Takuko Makimura say to describe this?But what he said was just a resignation, just clean it up before Mr. Kamigi comes back, otherwise he will be criticized again.

The two beautiful girls patted their chests and assured him at the same time.

Makimura Taku took a sip of coffee, thinking that Hoshino Ai's figure should be better.

The result was justifiably scolded.

As soon as Katsuya Kaburaki came back, the aroma of coffee filling the room hadn't wafted out from the open French windows.

Lessons are lessons, but he has never thrown away the teapots, tea leaves, pottery and the like that Yuki Ogura brought in.

Maybe this kind of behavior is acceptable to some extent, Mucun Taku thought, and felt that it had something to do with Yuki Ogura.

The training lasted half an hour longer than usual, which was regarded as punishment for the tea party. Before the three of them went back, Katsuki Kazumi also talked about the arrangements for the weekend.

"There is an audition for a variety show on Sunday afternoon, don't forget the three of you, you have to go with me then."

"Shouldn't you be off on Sunday?" Ai Hoshino asked.

"Saturday is a day off, so don't forget that."

"On weekends, right?" Makimura Taku said.

"That's right." Yuki Ogura followed suit.

"I said, you brats, can you stop pushing yourself?" Katsuki Kazumi also frowned, "As a newcomer, it's rare to have this kind of audition opportunity, so cherish it and don't complain. You've only been training for a few days? If I didn't know the director of the program group, do you think it's your turn?"

"So it's a relationship?" Ai Hoshino curled her lips.

"This is in line with the producer I know." Mu Cuntaku lowered his eyes and said solemnly.

Just as Ogura Yuki was about to open her mouth, Kazuki Kazuki interrupted her in advance, and he said to the three of them indifferently: "If there is anyone who doesn't want to go, you can tell me now."

"Just kidding, Mr. Producer, we are counting on you." Ogura Yuki said.

"I will definitely go!" Hoshino Ai's expression changed quickly.

Katsuragi also raised his arms, thinking about whether to press his temples, and finally he did. He sighed and said, "You children..."

The morning before the audition, Hoshino Aiyo Makimura came out.

Makimura Taku never thought that she would call him, usually this is something that Yuki Ogura would do.

He was surprised for two seconds, then agreed casually, changed into the clothes he got back from the dry cleaner last night, and followed the shaking carriage to Ochanomizu.

When I got off the bus, there were not too many people on the platform. There were only a few who looked like students, and the rest were almost all office workers who had to get up early to work even on weekends.

Makimura Taku lamented that it was not easy for everyone, and at the same time thought about the fact that he would have a job tomorrow, and felt that it was really regrettable.

After coming out of the station, a breeze with the fragrance of sandalwood blows in front of you.

The dark green leaves shone in the almost vanished spring light, and the calm lake became sparkling.

It turned out that it was already June, Mucun Taku thought, looking up at the sun that had risen very early.

Two months ago, he reunited with Ai Hoshino on the slope where the early cherry blossoms were flying.

　Thanks to [The Husband Who Arbiters Through the Ages] for the reward.

　　Thank you for your monthly tickets and recommended tickets.
