    Someone rang the doorbell?

    This was a perfect time to break the awkward atmosphere, and Ayano immediately got up, “I’ll get the door!”

    Pointing to the doorway, he walked briskly to the entrance door and opened it after him.

    Standing outside the door was surprisingly …… Sakurajima.

    Sakurajima Apricot was dressed very casually today, not flirty like usual, instead, she was wearing a hood, a striped wool sweater on her body, jeans underneath, and even chewing bubbles in her mouth as if she was carrying a canvas bag on her right shoulder, and when she saw Ayano’s surprised look, she lazily raised her hand in greeting and said, “Yo, good morning~ No, it’s already noon, so good noon~ “

    Slender fingers peeked out of the cuffs, and disposable manicures were still glued to the fingernails of all five fingers, which flickered in the light of the hallway deck lights.

    “Sakurajima? What are you doing here?” Ayano exclaimed.

    Hearing that it was Sakurajima, Takahashi Mito, who had been looking at Aoi with a grim gaze, also turned her eyes over.

    Sakurajima apricot face, “Is Aoi …… in your house?”

    “Hmm? Oh, yes, what can I do for you?”

    “I’m glad to be here, then I’m sorry to bother you.” Sakurajima stepped forward and brushed past Ayano after patting her on the shoulder, it wasn’t the first time he’d been to her house anyway, and the shoe-changing maneuver wasn’t rusty, and the first thing he saw when he looked up was the sight of an additional complete stranger in the direction of the dining room.

    Just seeing, however, she didn’t care who he was, and as her eyes shifted right she saw Aoi, and instantly stepped forward.

    Ayano knew Sakurajima’s personality well after spending time together, and hurriedly closed the door and followed her, taking the lead in introducing the two as they approached the dining table, “Sakurajima, this is my father, dad, who also went to the same school as her sister, Natsuki.”

    “Still all in the same club, oh.” Sakurajima Apricot sneaked a yay before unceremoniously pulling aside a chair and sitting next to Aoi.

    Takahashi Eishi was welcome to hear that it was a classmate, although it felt as if his personality was a bit eccentric, but face-wise, it was even better looking than most movie stars, did this kid even know a girl of such a level? This is too good fortune!

    “So you’re from the same school, quite a straightforward personality, are you meeting someone today? Mito? Ayano?” Takahashi Eishi asked in passing.

    Instead, the girl in front of me blandly answered, “Neither.”

    Then he reached out and boldly took Aoi’s arm aside and continued, “I was meeting Aoi today, and I heard that he was coming to your house, so I came over to take him away.”

    ?

    Takahashi Eishi kept a smile on his face, but many questions popped up in his mind, the two daughters next to him didn’t react too much when they heard this, which made him even more puzzled.

    Did you mishear yourself?

    “Sorry, just now you said ……”

    “Huh? Is it necessary to repeat it again? I came over today to take Aoi away, uncle.” Sakurajima apricot narrowed her eyes and smiled in response, even though this big back-headed uncle in front of her has a full aura, but in front of Sakurajima, all auras are floating clouds, after all, even the strongest aura, there is no way to compare it with Dragon Sakura, Sakurajima and Dragon Sakura stood together, and will not be at all disadvantaged.

    When those words came out, Takahashi Eishi was completely dumbfounded.

    Aoi Natsuki on the side was also stunned and turned her head to whisper, “Do I have a date with you today ……”

    Sakurajima Apricot’s face didn’t change, her head moved up slightly to his ear and whispered, “If you want to get out of here in one piece, you’ll listen to me obediently, baka~”

    This guy is messing around again ……

    While the middle-aged man in front of her was confused, Sakurajima Apricot then quickly tugged on Aoi’s sleeve, and Aoi, who understood, also quickly got up.

    “Then I won’t interrupt your lunch time, Aoi and I have to go first.” Sakurajima took Natsuki Aoi by one arm and waved goodbye with the other.

    The situation in front of them had unexpectedly changed rapidly in those few short minutes, something that Takahashi Mito and Takahashi Eishi hadn’t expected, and as for Ayano, she hadn’t been too surprised because Sakurajima was the one who had texted her to call her, belonging to the category of being a pilot who had encountered an accident with an emergency ejection device, and the only way to clear this kind of scene quickly was to have a third party.

    Before leaving Sakurajima Apricot also left Ayano with an intriguing look, somewhat complimentary, and Ayano attached a smile so as not to be noticed, immediately closing her expression.

    Sakurajima opened the door and turned with Aoi again, waving goodbye to the guys, “Bye~”

    After saying that, he pulled Aoi out of the door until it closed, leaving the entire house silent.

    Often the silence represents the quiet before the tsunami.

    When Ayano turned her head, her father’s face had become ugly, it seems that another explanation is needed to make it work, first we have to start from the fact that Aoi doesn’t have a girlfriend, and then Sakurajima, just in case, should we mention Hayakawa and Ryuusakura again ……

    ……

    Sakurajima pulled Aoi out of the building, and Aoi turned her head to look at her and asked, “What’s with this outfit today?”

    “Not a good look?” Apricot Sakurajima stopped chewing her gum and cocked her head to look at him.

    “That’s not true.” Sakurajima was a natural dresser, no matter what she wore, it would always look good, and dressing with a bit of a hip-hop feel, like today, conjured up the idea that the girl’s real personality might be cool.

    Sakurajima’s eyes traveled from his neck to his collarbone, and with his right hand, he raised his hand and placed his palm on his chest, “Occasionally switching up the style of dress, it’s not like I’m afraid you’ll get bored of it.”

    “Speak for yourself, and don’t bring me along for any reason.” Natsuki Aoi reached out to stop that statement.

    Yet he didn’t have the slightest desire to push Sakurajima away, perhaps by osmosis he had approved of Sakurajima’s arm around him?

    “Che, obviously just saved you out, your attitude can’t be a little more cordial.” Sakurajima apricot pouted her little mouth, said with some displeasure.

    “Is save too strong a word ……”

    “With that scene just now, Takahashi’s dad could eat you up.” Sakurajima apricot pulls Aoi to turn east and west, finally leaving the entrance of the neighborhood, in front of the entrance of a ramen store, Sakurajima’s steps become a little hesitant.

    Although Aoi Natsuki didn’t pay much attention to her with her mouth, her observation was still subtle, glancing at her and asking, “Are you hungry? It just so happens that I haven’t eaten yet either, so why don’t we finish the ramen first.”

    Sakurajima stayed close to Aoi’s body, his eyes staring straight at the word “Gumbo” on the ramen store’s sign, hesitated for a moment, shook off his head, and smiled, “Aoi, why don’t we go to your house, and you’ll cook it for me? I still like what you make.”

    “Huh? No ramen?”

    “Uh, no more food.” Sakurajima nodded in confirmation.

    “But it’s going to take time for us to get back, and for us to make things, so can you take it?”

    “No problem, and …… it seems like aunt and uncle have already traveled, right? Then, wouldn’t that make it back to the way it was, and we can both sneak around again.” While saying that she also used her fingertips to swirl around his chest.

    Really! This horrible bad taste of Sakurajima!

    Every time I said it, it sounded like we were stealing that, making Aoi’s face turn a little red.

    ……

    Back home.

    Sakurajima intimately hugged Lina sitting on the seat in the dining room, not far from the living room is playing cartoons, the two people talk and laugh, the kitchen Aoi Natsuki is frying the dishes, this feeling is very subtle, but natural, he will be the ribs glued with a certain proportion of starch powder, soaked in the egg, down to the pan frying, the aroma immediately overflowed, looking out through the glass, only to see Sakurajima and Lina are through the glass door to see their own, Sakurajima also pulling the Lina’s hand and waved at him.

    A smile appeared at the corner of Aoi Natsuki’s mouth as she continued to push the fried ribs in the pot with a spatula.

    Eventually the four dishes as a number of pot, plate, Sakurajima busy hug off Lina, over to play the meal, said the atmosphere is very subtle well, as if a family of three.

    “Let’s start~” Sakurajima pinched Leigh’s fleshy little face, and then the three of them started, all three of them were hungry, and with the delicious dishes in front of them, they felt an overwhelming sense of happiness.

    During the course of the meal, Sakurajima started chatting again about some current happenings with her, it’s been a month and a half since she joined the akb girl group, but it doesn’t seem to have unfolded in some substantial way.

    “How much longer is this grad school period, anyway? Even if it’s not starting, it should be at least a full member of the team, right?” Aoi Natsuki wasn’t trying to persuade her to get ahead, she was just a little surprised that Sakurajima hadn’t turned regular yet; it was truly outrageous that she was still a graduate student to this day, despite having Hetty’s help.

    “That’s what you don’t understand, right, graduate student transfer is required to full theater performance times, I went to none, plus variety I also refused through, naturally can’t transfer, however, I’m not doing nothing, recently I took over a movie, although it’s a small role of only two or three minutes, but I heard that the director is quite famous.”

    “Oh? It’s okay to make a movie! Which director?”

    “I think it’s called …… Takeshi Fujimoto? Or maybe it was Kawashima? I have some trouble remembering.”

    “…… “Aoi Natsuki was speechless for a moment, and then spoke, “Isn’t Fujimoto Takeshi the judge in the school flower contest at the time, so he’s the one who approached you for the movie, etc., since it’s his new movie, then I remember that one from the Etiquette Club. That who, whose name I forgot, is she the female one?”

    Sakurajima’s eyes widened as she looked at him for two or three seconds before a question mark reappeared over her head, yes, two people who didn’t care about the outcome, and in the end, they couldn’t even remember people’s names.

    “Two minutes is also theater, isn’t Hetty the supervisor of the AKB group, what did she say?” Aoi Natsuki asked with some finesse.

    “Hetty is quite happy, the women’s group can’t collapse for a while with her, but it’s probably going to be on the verge of extinction by the next generation.”

    “It’s not that dramatic ……”

    “The group in 05, more than ten years now, since the previous shining seven have left, akb has long been in an irreversible decline, although the popularity is still retained, but the gap in traffic is huge, if there is no Hetty, the group’s current situation may become even worse.” Sakurajima Apricot blandly stated her opinion.

    Aoi nodded gently, but also recognized this point of view, before seeing Hetty to run the handshake meeting thing, it was held for ten hours time, she was really working hard for the whole group, if it wasn’t for her such a responsible character, I’m afraid that Sakurajima wouldn’t have joined.

    After the meal.

    Sakurajima helped him along with the dishes, and when it was over, he followed Rina to sit on the couch and watch the TV, and since it was afternoon and the light was still bright, there were no lights on, and Rina was resting on Sakurajima’s arm while Sakurajima kept a distance of twenty centimeters between him and Natsuki Aoi.

    A free weekend always made people sleepy, and Lina was a little wide-eyed from watching the anime and soon closed her eyes and drifted off into a deep sleep.

    Aoi Natsuki’s brain was thinking about the matter of next week’s design business draft, just thought of the key point, only to feel the left side of the knee sink, he lowered his head, just to meet with Sakurajima’s face, looking at the corners of the eyes of the eyes of the eyes of her gradually mesmerized slender, the Sakurajima under a different viewpoint is still beautiful and touching.

    “You, what’s wrong with you?”

    Sakurajima lay on his lap sideways, rubbing from side to side, and said, “Aoi, let me ask you something oh.”

    “Well, you say.”

    “Would you …… be interested in being my agent?”

    “An agent? Does one like you even need to have an agent?” Aoi Natsuki laughed.

    “Well, maybe, I’ve seen other people have them, and some of them are quite senior.”

    “That’s not going to work for me, I don’t know anything about that, a good agent is important if you’re going to be really hot in the future.”

    “But I’ve heard that artists tend to listen to their agents, Aoi~ I’m only willing to listen to you.”

    “Whoa! Can you not be so carnal?” Aoi Natsuki had goosebumps all over his body, he really couldn’t take that little look of anticipation, knowing that she was flirting with him, but he couldn’t help but substitute it.

    “Wait until you’re really on fire like that, and also I’m in the middle of a thought, so shut those pretend chu-chu-chu eyes of yours.” Aoi Natsuki said.

    Hearing that he didn’t reject it outright, Sakurajima Apricot smiled knowingly, then gathered her expression, “Then you think about your business, and I’ll take a nap.”

    Sakurajima slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep right on Aoi’s lap.

    Aoi Natsuki slightly frowned, but did not say anything, just a good design ideas were interrupted, he needs to regain the feeling, a good while to work again into the state of work, but every time you look down, you can see Sakurajima slightly open his eyes, peeking at his own image, see was found, Sakurajima immediately closed his eyes again, side head pretend to sleep, this, this still let him how to work ah!

    ……

    Time really proves everything, a month later, Fujimoto Takeshi’s “Sea Maiden” was released in theaters as scheduled, before Aoi speculated that the minister of the ceremonial society, Yamauchi Erika, did not become the main female character, but instead turned into a female second, it seems that the previous impact is still quite large, and the cast list in the last column, clearly written Sakurajima Apricot three words, only two minutes of appearances, but it can appear in the cast list?

    This movie tells the story of a princess of the ocean who uses her magical powers to improve the neighboring slumping fishing industry. The story is a healing film of sorts, with a little more authenticity in a clichéd setting, exploring more about the current weakened fishing industry and the pure simplicity of the people involved.

    On the first day of the film’s release, it collected 35 million yen at the box office, which is already quite good for the current recession of Japanese cinema, and there are people on the Internet who have made positive comments, Aoi Natsuki at first did not pay too much attention to it, until when brushing the video, accidentally brushed a movie review that has played more than one million, in which the reviewer focuses on releasing a film that is officially allowed to be fifteen seconds of time in the film’s original film, and the content of the original film is a girl looking into the distance, which is a girl looking into the distance, which is not a good thing. The content of the original movie was exactly the shot of a girl looking into the distance.

    Aoi Natsuki looked at the girl in the video and took a deep breath… sure enough, it was still on fire?
