Miwa-chan's birthday, Shinichi Iwahashi finally spent it safely and soundly, relieving the crisis of being pressed to the ground by her.

When the lead singer of the popular band celebrated her birthday, not only did the staff who worked around her start celebrating her more than a week in advance, but the number of letters and gifts sent by fans also increased greatly during this time.

On the day of my birthday, I received many flowers from fans at both the office and the record label. - Of course, this kind of celebration with great fanfare can only be enjoyed by Miwa-chan.

It's a popular time to give gifts to your favorite artists, from cheap stuffed animals and snacks to bags and jewelry. Now it is an era of spending money like burning money and often having a hot head, celebrities with a lot of big fans, such as celebrities in the singing industry or stage plays, and even fans who send houses and cars. As for whether to take it or not to accept it, that's another matter.

However, among the fans who sent gifts to Miwa-chan, they never made a big move, and they usually sent letters and small gifts.

There is some theory in this. The main source of income for singers is dinner shows that cost tens of thousands of yen for admission tickets, and those who can go to performances and chase stage stars all year round must also have money and leisure, and have more opportunities to meet big fans.

Unlike pop bands like them, the probability of meeting big-money fans is very small, so they can only be down-to-earth, sell records, peripherals, and concert tickets with their own efforts, and then use more than 100 million yuan to buy them themselves.

By the way, Miwa-chan, who covers all the lyrics and most of the composition and singing, has earned nearly 100 million yen since her debut, but she is still the only person in the band who does not have her own car, relying on her agent to pick her up and rub the car of the two Zeng Yi.

The life of this little rich woman is really unpretentious...... It's not boring, it's really fun to be happy.

Shin'ichi Iwahashi and Miwa-chan celebrated their birthday and didn't stay in the studio for too long.

In the evening, the staff of the recording studio also went to eat barbecue with Miwa-chan, and he also avoided this meal. The next Sunday, he was going to Hyogo Prefecture to play golf, and tonight, he booked a hotel in Kobe and set off early tomorrow morning.

Iwahashi Shinichi only knew Kobe to the extent of "Kobe beef", and he had a vague impression of Hyogo Prefecture.

It's only when I see the two kanji "Hyogo" that I can't help but face the north for some reason, and a beautiful smiling face comes to mind.

His usual range of activities is concentrated in the Kanto area, and when he came to Kansai on business, he couldn't go to Hyogo, so he was very unfamiliar with it. Playing golf for entertainment, flying all over the book for golf, when I first entered the industry, I didn't expect to live this kind of life.

When I arrived in Kobe, night had fallen, and after checking in, Iwahashi Shinichi still had a sense of leisure, and went alone to take the cable car to Mt. Rokko to see the night view, and by the way, because the preparation for a whim was not sufficient, and then it was cold at the top of the mountain to put his hands in his pockets.

Whether it's Kanto or Kansai, there's an atmosphere of a city that never sleeps, especially on Saturday nights.

Iwahashi Shinichi felt the cool temperature on the top of the mountain while looking down at the night view, which is said to be worth one million dollars. turned his head, aimed at the affectionate couple, and silently withdrew his gaze.

It's cold.

He was a casual tourist for a while, descending the mountain before the last cable car stopped. At the top of the mountain, you can see the night view, and when you get off the mountain, you will be like fireflies returning to the forest, blending into the thousands of lights of Kobe.

Shinichi Iwahashi saw a phone booth on the side of the street, and suddenly remembered that Akina Nakamori called him on the day when the locust was braided.

"I saw a phone booth on the street and wanted to call you."

Kobe gives Shinichi Iwahashi the feeling that it is a city that is more suitable for two people to come together than to come alone. Rather than flying around here alone, he wished he had someone by his side.

In a sense, walking alone on the streets at night in a foreign land, I remembered what Akina Nakamori said, and I subtly felt the mood of what she said.

I would suddenly think of her phone call, and remember that childish remark, probably not only because I saw the phone booth on the street.

In addition, in another sense, when you remember the content of that phone call, you can remember exactly what time and time it was, and it is also related to the date you received the call.

In the phone booth, a young girl dressed in a fashionable fashion is giving a special lecture. She glanced outside the phone booth and saw Shinichi Iwahashi standing there, quickly said a few words to the other end of the phone, put down the phone, and took back the calling card.

"Please~" She waved the phone card in her hand to Iwahashi Shinichi as if she was talking drunk.

You don't have to look closely to see that she has drunk. But a little look at her face, you can also see that there is a high probability that she is not yet twenty years old.

It is illegal for underage drinking to drink......

However, as long as you dress up and claim to be over twenty years old when you enter the door, even if there is a little flaw, it is very rare for anyone to really ask about age.

At the end of the day, turning a blind eye to this kind of thing is a more appropriate way to deal with it than kicking customers out.

The girl who thought she was well-intentioned and did good deeds waved at Iwahashi Shinichi again, "Please, please!" There is a kind of usual rampant and domineering habit, and finally I feel that I have done a good deed, and I have to do it to the end.

I really want to record her drunkenness at the moment and show her when she wakes up.

At this time, if you lift your legs and leave, you will be scolded by this girl behind your back. Like a duck being rushed to the shelves, Shinichi Iwahashi nodded at the girl in thanks and stepped into the phone booth.

The phone booths were plastered with small advertisements for telephone nightclubs, dating clubs, and eye-catching slogans such as "female college students".

Shinichi Iwahashi threw in a coin and called Akina Nakamori's house, but no one answered. He then paged her against the paging code list in the phone booth. After the pager, he put down the receiver and didn't rush out, but read the small advertisement in the phone booth.

The small advertisements posted in the phone booths are often simple and crude, and after reading a few, he starts to get bored.

At this time, I heard someone knocking on the glass outside, and when I looked up, a young man with a displeased face, as if urging him to come out as soon as he was fine.

Akina Nakamori's call back is estimated to not be available for a while, so Shinichi Iwahashi dismissed the idea of waiting for the call and walked out.

The girl who did the great thing just now is gone.

It's not a long way back from here, so Iwahashi walked back to the hotel, washed up, came out of the bathroom, turned on the TV and killed the time for a while...... When I was drowsy, I heard the pager ring.

Shinichi Iwahashi picked up the phone receiver and called it back.

"Hey, hey. On the other end of the phone, Akina Nakamori's voice came.

Iwahashi Shinichi felt that it was expected, and he felt that it was unexpected, so he couldn't help but smile, "Akina-san?"

"Good evening. ”

"I'm in Kobe right now. He said.

Akina Nakamori sighed, "Huh?"

"I'm going to play golf tomorrow. Shinichi Iwahashi said to her.

The head of Takeda Printing Company and Saymoto Animation Company were also the same people, and it is said that there was also someone from the editorial department of "RIBON".

He's busy with him, and Akina Nakamori only knows that Iwahashi Shinichi has a lot of things, but he's confused about what he's busy with.

The people who run the record company and the people who are run by the record company, on business, Shinichi Iwahashi can talk to her, and Akina Nakamori has no idea what he wants to do, just nodding "mmmm" and listening.

"Shin Yi-kun just called me, right?" Akina Nakamori couldn't wait to ask him.

Iwahashi Shinichi closed his eyes and listened to her tone of "asking the teacher to ask for guilt". She couldn't hide things by herself, and if she had anything to say, she rushed to him without waiting to ask, "I called the phone back, and it said, 'This is a public phone'." ”

"I think maybe Shen Yijun called from a public phone. "Akina Nakamori is like a detective who is reasoning.

Shinichi Iwahashi let out an "um" and remembered something, and asked her, "Didn't you think I was playing a prank when they said, 'It's a pay phone'?"

Akina Nakamori laughed when she heard him say this. After laughing enough, I told him, "The person who answered the phone is a young girl." ”

"Okay. Iwahashi Shinichi stopped.

His deflated reaction made Akina Nakamori feel even more funny when he heard it. It's a shame you can't see her smile through the phone line.

"Has Akina-san ever been to Kobe?" Iwahashi Shinichi asked her.

Akina Nakamori told him, "I think I've been there once or twice." But it was all for work, and after the shooting, I went back immediately without any sightseeing opportunities. ”

"Did Shen Yijun go sightseeing?" she said and asked him in turn.

"It's going to be night, and it's my first time in Kobe, so I don't know anything. Iwahashi Shinichi said to her, "However, I went to Mt. Rokko, and my nose was cold." ”

"Really?"

"It's true or not. Iwahashi Shinichi replied, "It may also be an exaggeration." ”

Akina Nakamori made him laugh again.

"Is the work not over now?" Iwahashi asked her.

"Yes, I recorded a Fuji TV variety show. Akina Nakamori said with a lot of energy, "Does Shin Yijun know? I also made origami in the show." ”

"What?"

"There's a game where idols talk to each other about what they've been passionate about lately...... she explains.

Iwahashi listened, "So you show origami?"

"The show will be on the air in less than two weeks. Akina Nakamori put an end to this matter as if she had diverted from the topic. She was the one who was full of energy just now, and now she is the one who wants to stop talking about work.

Iwahashi Shinkazu sensed it and cooperated with her to stop.

On the phone, the two people were unconsciously silent for a while. Akina Nakamori suddenly said a string of onomatopoeia, "Knock knock." ”

"Huh?"

Shinichi Iwahashi reacted and asked her with a smile, "Are you knocking on your back again?"

"Don't knock on the back of a person who went to Kobe and went to Mt. Rokko for sightseeing as if nothing happened. Akina Nakamori muttered to him.

...... He didn't want to come to Kobe for sightseeing, and he showed off to her on the phone.

"And what is this doing?" Iwahashi asked.

"I'm knocking and seeing, and I'll hear if there's any response. She said something out of tune.

Shinichi Iwahashi was a little confused, "What echo?"

"I don't know. "I was really chased and asked, but Akina Nakamori couldn't say it, so she simply resorted to coquettish tricks, "I don't know, and I don't want to ask again." ”

"And what about the appetite that you have hoisted?" Iwahashi haggled with her.

Akina Nakamori chuckled again, "I don't care." ”

"......" Iwahashi Shinichi had no choice but to accept her persecution of cats.

Akina Nakamori laughed to herself for a while, then suddenly sighed.

"What's wrong?" asked Iwahashi.

Her voice sounded close and far through the phone line, "I feel a little lonely." As he spoke, he spoke onomatopoeia into the phone, "Ahhhhh ”

"What is this?"

"Bite Shen Yijun. Akina Nakamori said.

Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't cry or laugh, "Why do you like to bite me so much?" However, I felt that such a Nakamori Akina made people can't bear to disobey her at this moment.

"This is a way to be coquettish to Shen Yijun. She said, "I want to hug you, I want to kiss you, I want to roll around with you...... It's the same. ”

In fact, I want to say, I want to see him, throw myself into his arms and be coquettish, and roll around with him.

"Then when I go to see you later, I'll let you bite it. Shinichi Iwahashi agreed. Well, the scar forgot the pain, and after a few days of leaving her, I forgot what happened when she bit her teeth and grinned.

Human memory is sometimes really unreliable.

"Really let me bite? ”

"It's decided. ...... However, don't bite into a conspicuous place. Iwahashi added.

Akina Nakamori agreed, "Uh-huh", taking everything he said to heart, "I can remember it." ”

"I'll remember with you, even if you forget, as soon as we meet, I will take the initiative to untie my shirt, 'Akina-san, please', so to remind you, okay?" Iwahashi Shinichi unknowingly accompanied her to say stupid things.

There is an advantage to being separated by a phone line, Akina Nakamori couldn't help but smile, but she pretended to dislike him, "What do you say about unbuttoning your shirt as soon as you meet, is Shen Yijun thinking about that again?"

As soon as he entered the play, he put up a shelf and grinned with his teeth, "...... True color!"

“......”

Iwahashi Shinichi was disgusted and couldn't help but be speechless. I didn't think about it, but when she said this, I remembered everything I should think about and what I shouldn't think.

“......”

Akina Nakamori finished dislike herself, and she began to be speechless. I didn't think about anything, but I took the initiative to dislike it, and I remembered what I should think about and what I shouldn't think.

Why did you go to Kobe?

It's just right not to pick out this matter, and it's even stranger when the words are spoken, so I don't mention it at all, and put this stubble aside for the time being.

"Tomorrow. Iwahashi Shinichi discussed with her, "I'll go back tomorrow, can we meet in the evening?" paused, remembering the gift he hadn't given out yet, but he didn't say it.

He waited for a long time, but heard Akina Nakamori reply, "No." ”

"Huh?"

"Do you still have a job at night?" Iwahashi Shinichi asked without giving up.
