"Thank you, Ikuta-san~ Then, please go back quickly!Bye-bye~good night~!"

As soon as she arrived downstairs in the apartment, Eriko said such a big thing to Ikuta. Fuji Ayako pressed her daughter and reproached: "Eriko ~ It's too rude!"

She looked up and gave Ikuta an apologetic expression, "Ikuta-san Ikuta-san." ”

"No, it's okay. Ikuta's gentle face showed a slightly timid smile.

Surrounded by such an expression, Manami Fujimura, who was standing in front of him, her beauty became aggressive. But it seemed like a momentary illusion, and Manami Fujimura humbly bent down to the agent, "Thank you today." ”

"Nothing ......"

Ikuta wanted to say that this was within his bounds, but when the words came to his lips, he also knew that the mother and daughter who went to the station to pick up the two mothers and daughters who went to Nikko to play were actually not within the scope of his duties.

"In two days, I'm going to have a meeting with Iwahashi-san. He quickly diverted the topic and chatted a few words of business in a decent manner.

It seems that talking about business now can offset his excessive enthusiasm as an agent.

"I don't know what will happen. Manami Fujimura responded politely, "Didn't they all say that Iwahashi-san was very powerful?"

Ikuta smiled, "Indeed, it seems that Iwahashi-san is very powerful now. He had been paying close attention to the movements of Shinichi Iwahashi's plan, from his suspicion when he first knew about it, to now, he was impressed by his ability to snowball.

"So, I'll take my chances. ”

Manami Fujimura smiled, and said to him, "Please rest assured, Ikuta-san." ”

"......" Ikuta was speechless for a moment.

Manami Fujimura's dedication does not need to be doubted, even to the point of making Ikuta feel uncomfortable-

As an agent, he is afraid of the professionalism of his singers, which sounds ridiculous. If she was only seen as a singer and as a commodity to be sold, Ikuta would not be like this.

However, when I looked at her as a woman, I felt that her practice of using her dead ex-husband and the malice of the world as nourishment to nourish herself seemed ruthless, and Ikuta had to shudder.

"Mom—"

Eriko, who was waiting next to her, began to get bored and urged Manami Fujimura to go upstairs quickly. Manami Fujimura said goodbye to Ikuta, "Then, Eriko and I will go up first." ”

Eriko took her mother's hand and dragged her into the apartment.

A young but bewitching mother, a willful and freewheeling daughter.

Ikuta couldn't resist Manami Fujimura's ruthlessness, nor could he understand Eriko's rejection.

Eriko is not a nose and a face is not a face to Ikuta, but she hates not so much Ikuta as she hates people who want to enter this two-person house that belongs to her and her mother.

It doesn't matter if the person is Ikuta or something else.

"Who is Mom going to work with?" said Eriko, full of curiosity.

Manami Fujimura shook her head, "I heard it's a rock band." As he spoke, he showed a hint of anticipation, "Mom likes rock music the most, I don't know what kind of band it is." ”

"I hope it's a band like BOWWY. Eriko said, and said in an old-fashioned manner, "When will Mom see Kyosuke-san in Himomur?"

"No~know~ Dao. ”

The daughter was old-fashioned, and Manami Fujimura spoke in a lively tone and urged: "Go quickly, go quickly." ”

As he spoke, he already took out the key. With a flick of the key, the key jingles.

......

In the second half of the light meal with Fuyumi Sakamoto, Shinichi Iwahashi's pager rang once. He took a step away from the conversation and went to borrow a pay phone from the store.

It's an acquaintance from Tokuma Records, but does he want to come out and drink together?

Iwahashi Shinichi shirked that something was going on and politely refused. After going back, Fuyumi Sakamoto was empathetic, but he: "Is there something wrong?"

"Nothing. He replied, "Most of the calls at this time are about whether or not to go for a drink." However, tomorrow is Monday, so you can't hang out too late. ”

Sakamoto Fuyumi smiled and felt deeply about what he said - after all, he was a bag girl and part-time driver who had followed her teacher all over Roppongi in Ginza.

Although it looks like a cute and cute bun, it is also a well-informed bun.

After eating a light meal with Fuyumi Sakamoto after the recording, Shinichi Iwahashi shook hands with her on the street and said goodbye and sent her to a taxi.

The advantage of a singer is that when you change your kimono and take away the glass of water on your head, you will be difficult to recognize. Even if she is recognized, in addition to the fact that fans will take the initiative to shake her hand, it is difficult to have additional trouble.

Newspaper and magazine reporters, as conventional, rarely report on the private life of singers. If a singer suddenly makes the headlines of a magazine or newspaper, it's because there's a lot of scandal.

Sending away Fuyumi Sakamoto, Iwahashi Shinichi looked at the time, didn't hang out anywhere, and went straight home.

Tomorrow is a busy Monday with a heel hit on the back of the head, and going to work outside late at night and then with a hangover face is obviously not Shinichi Iwahashi's style.

Although in this year, there are still people of God who carnival with briefcases on Sunday nights and go to work the next day as if nothing happened.

When I got home, Shin Iwahashi passed the phone all the way and saw that the indicator light for the phone message was on. He picked up the earpiece and pressed play.

"Congratulations on moving to a new home, Iwahashi-san. ”

Inside the earpiece, a pretended polite male voice came. Listening to this tone of speech, Iwahashi Shin listened to it, and there was a trace of inexplicable familiarity, and he felt that he had heard it when and where he had heard it.

"It's Yamada down there. ”

The next second, the man in the phone message reported his name, and Iwahashi Shinichi frowned and remembered.

This young man named Yamada, who is a mixed pole way, once called him. At that time, he had not yet moved into his current apartment.

I remember that at that time, Yamada mentioned on the phone that he wanted to buy the one-and-a-half-square meter of land in his hand at a high price. After such a long time, I called again, and Yamada's intention was guessed without saying.

Iwahashi Shinichi continued to listen. As expected, this time, Yamada was talking on the phone about that small piece of land. This time, his intention was even more determined, and he even gave a direct offer-

Five million yen.

This figure is 300,000 yen higher than the average land price in the area where the small plot of land is located. It's not a lot, it's definitely not a lot. Especially considering that it is still a land with messy planning and scattered property rights.

Iwahashi Shinichi heard about the demolition of that piece of land from Imai of Kanzaki Real Estate for the first time, and to this day, the real estate dealer who wants to develop that piece of land has not yet talked about him, which shows that the progress is slow.

On the contrary, it is this Yamada of unknown origin who is persevering in contacting him.

Yamada said on the phone that if Iwahashi was interested, he would contact him, and the two sides would agree on a place to meet and discuss the purchase of the small piece of land.

Iwahashi Shinichi finished listening to the recording, put down the receiver, and stood in front of the telephone for a moment.

Five million yen.

Unless such a small piece of land is demolished or the next-door neighbor wants to expand, the probability of selling it is very small.

Now, although the precinct is being planned for demolition, it has not been approved for a long time. If you sell it to this young man surnamed Yamada, you will just get rid of this little trouble.

When I bought the land, I spent 3 million yen, and I used it to borrow 10 million yen to start a production company. Now, if I sell it, I can earn an additional 2 million yen.

Just sell it to this Yamada and get rid of this little trouble.

Shin'ichi Iwahashi had such an idea in his heart, but he couldn't make up his mind. For nothing else, this Yamada, who is clearly a gangster, makes him feel subtly uncomfortable and unwilling to deal with him.

In addition, 5 million yen was paid higher than the estimated value for this small plot. Yamada's persistence also made Iwahashi Shinichi scratch his head.

Anyway, I still don't really want to deal with a thug (suspected) who is of unknown origin and only has one name on it.

He thought about it for a while, opened the address book, found the number of Imai of Kanzaki Real Estate, and planned to discuss it with Imai, and if it was convenient, he wanted to ask Imai as an agent to talk to Yamada about the sale of land.

If you really want to sell, entrusting it to a real estate company to sell it is also worry-free and trouble-free.

I was about to dial the phone, check the time, think about it and put down the receiver. I'm going to contact Imai after I get to work tomorrow.

With this in mind, Iwahashi Shinichi went to change his clothes and put hot water in the bath. When I came out of the shower, the phone rang again. His heart tightened, and he grabbed the earpiece.

"Hey, I'm Iwahashi. ”

The person on the other end of the phone laughed twice, "The voice sounds really scary~ Shen Yijun." ”

Iwahashi Shinichi's expression stretched, and he also laughed, "Akina-san." ”

"Why was you so serious just now?" Akina Nakamori said to him on the phone. Not only that, but there was also a way to learn from him, "'Hey, I'm Iwahashi!'. ”

"Was I that fierce just now?" Iwahashi was skeptical.

"A little bit. Akina Nakamori decided to pass the test and diverted the topic, "Tell you, I'm back." ”

After saying this, she kept silent again, waiting for Iwahashi Shinichi's next sentence. Shin Iwahashi understood and replied, "Welcome back." ”

"Uh-huh!" Akina Nakamori was satisfied.

"It wasn't long after I came back. ”

"All the luggage is still piled up in the hallway?"

"It's messy. She said.

Iwahashi smiled Shin Yi, "Good work." ”

"Uh-huh......" she stopped.

"Hmm......" Iwahashi Shinichi guessed that she had something to say, but she couldn't, deliberately following her example, waiting for her to say it herself. If you could see the face of the person on the other side of the phone, Akina Nakamori's cheeks would probably be bulging.

Finally, she couldn't hold back herself, and said, "Aren't you coming to see me?"

On the phone, Akina Nakamori's voice was soft.

......

Putting down the phone, Iwahashi Shinichi went to pack the clothes he was going to wear to work tomorrow and took them out of the house. In order to stay on top of his spirits and go to work on Monday, he came home early to get ready to wash up and sleep.

In the end, the idea of going to bed early still failed.

On Sunday nights, I drank and hung out despite going to work tomorrow. It's not like that.

On Sunday night, I went to my girlfriend's house for the night with the clothes I was going to wear to work tomorrow. It makes sense.

......

Akina Nakamori went on a business trip abroad, recorded a sound in the studio, and then took a picture of the magazine by the way, and negotiated with TBS TV to record the location of the program. The itinerary is relaxed, half work, half sightseeing.

The itinerary was quick, but the stay was a bit long.

Although the half-work and half-sightseeing itinerary was loose and interesting, Akina Nakamori went out by herself and went out with the accompanying staff, and even during the working hours, as long as she stepped out of the camera, the atmosphere of the team was quite good.

When she was moving in the car, she took it seriously to learn how to origami tigers. The little assistant saw it, remembered it, and mentioned it to Akina Nakamori that the show where she revealed that she was a master of origami was about to be broadcast.

Looking at her serious origami appearance, no one will doubt her enthusiasm and love for origami.

In a foreign country, foreigners don't know who Akina Nakamori is.

However, having fun and having fun, Akina Nakamori still hopes to end her trip and return to Tokyo sooner.

The night before departure, Shinichi Iwahashi went from Kobe to Nagoya late at night to meet her.

Akina Nakamori remembered his intention to turn to Nagoya late at night and take a taxi back overnight just to see her, so she couldn't wait to finish work early and hug him when she got back.

At the beginning, when he summoned all the courage to take a step and grabbed Shinichi Iwahashi's hand, he only cared about conveying his heat to him. At that time, I didn't think that one day, I was also so tightly surrounded by the heat from Iwahashi Shinichi.

Because of the heat of Shinichi Iwahashi to see her, after returning to Tokyo, she was able to ask him to come to see her on the phone, even though it was late at night.

It seems that it was the night in Nagoya, and after Iwahashi Shinichi went to see her, before leaving, he gave her the power to order him.

......

As soon as the bell of the walkie-talkie rang, Akina Nakamori pressed the button to open the door, ran to the entrance, prepared slippers for Shinichi Iwahashi, and waited for him to come.

In the entrance, there were still a pile of suitcases that she hadn't had time to sort out on this business trip.

Akina Nakamori glanced at it, and began to feel a little uncomfortable in her heart - she should have put away her suitcase first, and she shouldn't have piled it up here.

But in the end, calling him to his house late at night, this little willfulness, is also a whim when calling.

However, considering her own mood, it would be more appropriate to say that it was "natural".

So, as soon as Shin Iwahashi entered the door, he saw the "big project" that Akina Nakamori herself described on the phone. But his gaze paused only slightly.

"I'm back. Akina Nakamori looked at him.

Even though he was in his own home, he said "I'm back" to the guests who came late at night. In this case, only the two of them understand why.

Iwahashi was cautious for a moment and replied solemnly: "Welcome back." ”

"Uh-huh!" Akina Nakamori nodded.

Still, not enough to blink, staring at his face.

Hug me!

This thought sprung up in my heart, and suddenly it was replaced by another thought that could not be restrained and rose from the ground. Akina Nakamori changed her mind and acted first, stretching out her arms.

She hugged him first.
