"Terada-kun, can you please help bring some dry goods?"

Before shooting Chaos Q and going to Beijing, Mitsuo Terada received a call from Shinichi Iwahashi again. Not only that, but this call was made to order dry goods.

"Last time, I was taken care of by the Lingzun Lingtang. ”

Iwahashi Shinichi was polite, "I have eaten the dry goods I received after I went back, and it is quite good." ”

So, this time, I want to ask him to bring a little more from home to Tokyo. Of course, on the phone, Iwahashi Shinichi emphasized that he was ordering, not collecting protection money.

"Yes, yes. Although Mitsuo Terada thought this request was strange, he still agreed.

On the phone, Shinichi Iwahashi told him again about the types of dry goods and spices he wanted to buy, and Mitsuo Terada went to find a pen and paper, wrote them down the same way, and then went home and showed them to his mother.

"Iwahashi-san said he was going to buy these from the store. ”

Mitsuo's mother took the purchase list. He thought for a moment and said, "Iwahashi-san said that if there is something in the store that is not available, forget it." ”

"Uh-huh. ”

The mother listened nonchalantly, her attention still on the order. After reading it, he casually asked his son, "Does this Iwahashi-san have a wife when he is married?"

"What?"

Mitsuo Terada was asked coldly, reacted, and shook his head, "I don't know." However, I guess I didn't get married. ”

"That's right, that Iwahashi-san isn't a few years older than you. ”

The mother was still a little troubled, and began to ponder, "That's the order for the family." ”

The inexplicable words made Mitsuo Terada confused, and he couldn't help asking, "What does this have to do with dry goods?"

The mother asked rhetorically, "Such a detailed and organized purchase list, can you write it if you can write it?"

"This ......"

He didn't even know what the store had in store or how to use it.

Mitsuo Terada was asked, but his mother earnestly instructed, "How can someone who is not always busy in the kitchen make such a purchase list?" That Iwahashi-san can't be a celebrity chef, right?"

"Probably not......" Mitsuo Terada was led by the nose by his mother.

Speaking of this, seeing that her son still looked like he didn't know what to do, the mother showed an expression of hatred that iron could not be made of steel, and she didn't bother to say more, so she turned her attention back to this order list, looking for all kinds of spices and dry goods in the store.

After loading the various dry seasonings that Iwahashi Shinichi wanted, she weighed them one by one, wrote down the price on the order form, crackled and pressed the calculator, and wrote down a total.

Write it down, draw a line on it, and write another number with the odds erased.

"Remember to collect Iwahashi-san's money!"

Give this list back to her son, and when the mother returns, she admonishes again.

On Saturday, Mitsuo Terada and his teammates took the Shinkansen to Tokyo.

The teammates brought their own musical instruments, as well as new songs written during this time, and Mitsuo Terada brought the songs he wrote, as well as a large bag of dry goods.

The additional effect of satisfying Shinichi Iwahashi's strange request is something that makes Mitsuo Terada feel embarrassed along the way.

It wasn't the first time the band had come to Tokyo since signing the contract, but this time it was a familiar ride and went straight to Yoyogi's recording studio. There were so many people coming over at once, and the little sister in the recording studio, Yukiko Okada, was busy running forward and helping to pour tea, and just about to take a breath, Shinichi Iwahashi came over again......

I can only take back the qi that has just come out of the middle and continue to make tea.

"Good work, Yukiko. Shinichi Iwahashi said to her.

"Please use it. Yukiko Okada put the tea in front of him and was very cheerful, "No problem." ”

Mitsuo Terada gave him the dry goods that Iwahashi Shinichi wanted, and hesitated for a moment before taking out the purchase list again. I'm still a little embarrassed.

An important reason why he is reluctant to inherit the family business is that he always feels shy when receiving money from acquaintances.

Iwahashi Shinichi collected the bill, confirmed the amount, and paid him the money.

Okada has Kiko next to him to be curious, but because there are still so many people, he is embarrassed to pull Iwahashi Shinichi to ask questions, so he can only hide this curiosity-

Iwahashi-san bought so many seasonings and dry goods, it turns out that he is very good at cooking?

That's amazing.

......

Shinichi Iwahashi didn't have any decent cooking skills, let alone write such a detailed and organized purchase list—these dry goods and seasonings were all written down by Akina Nakamori.

Osaka Terada dry goods house, Tokyo's only promoter, Shinichi Iwahashi.

and Akina Nakamori, the only customer in Tokyo who will buy it.

The two cooperate tacitly.

During the day, Shinichi Iwahashi was in the recording studio chatting with a few people who shot Q about music production, and the recording engineer on Yoyogi's side, as well as Seiichiro Kuribayashi, were there, and a large group of people were chatting about music.

After Yukiko Okada was busy running forward, when it was almost half past five, she began to worry in her heart, not knowing if it would be over before six o'clock.

She leaves work at six o'clock - when the black-hearted boss Shinichi Iwahashi is away.

Whenever she goes to work in the afternoon, Shinichi Iwahashi happens to come over again, so she must be at risk of working overtime.

It's okay usually, but I have an appointment to play today...... Okada Yukiko pondered, and waited to quietly call Iwahashi Shinichi aside and told him that he would go back first.

Get off work on time today!

Okada Yukiko cheered herself up, and as a result, after half past five, the discussion over there began to end, and Iwahashi Shinichi said to her, "Please go back early today, Yukiko." ”

Ay?

The footsteps were empty, and Yukiko Okada was stunned for a moment.

Iwahashi Shinichi went over and explained to her, "The guys who shot Q have a show tonight, so let's go eat first, and then we'll go to the LIVEHOUSE." ”

After a pause, "Do you want to go to the show?"

A large group of people are all men, and more than half of them are unknown to Kiko Okada, so Iwahashi Shinichi won't take her to dinner.

Yukiko Okada came back to her senses, her mood was high, and she told him, "I made an appointment with a friend. ”

"Friends from school?"

Iwahashi Shin saw her cheerful appearance, and he was affected and felt comfortable.

Yukiko Okada shook her head, "No, it's a friend from the entertainment world." She said "Yoko Minamino-chan" and the name "Minako-chan Honda".

Shinichi Iwahashi asked casually, nodded after listening, and said to her, "Have fun." ”

......

Okada has Kiko, Yoko Minamino, and Minako Honda, and the three are high school classmates. Yukiko Okada and Yoko Minamino are good friends, Yoko Minamino and Minako Honda have an excellent relationship, because Yoko Minamino and the other two girls also have a lot of contacts.

Akiko Okada, an active college student, has more time at her disposal, and Yoko Minamino, who is frantically squeezed by the boss of the office, has the hardest time to take a breather from her heavy work.

Yukiko Okada is cheerful, and Minako Honda is steady, but both of them are very compatible with Yoko Minamino. If it weren't for Yoko Minamino, the other two girls wouldn't have come out alone.

Wonderful triangular relationship.

Yukiko Okada left work half an hour early, arrived the earliest, and waited at the café where she had made an appointment to meet. At five or six o'clock, Yoko Minamino and Minako Honda came over together.

The two of them happened to be working together this afternoon.

"I've been waiting for a long time, but there's Kiko. Yoko Minamino apologized.

Yukiko Okada didn't take it to heart, and happily said to her, "Today, Iwahashi-san asked me to leave work early, otherwise, I will have to wait for me here with the two of you." ”

"Iwahashi-san is so nice. Yoko Minamino praised it sincerely.

Although leaving work early today was purely accidental, it did not prevent Yukiko Okada from nodding, "Yes." ”

After receiving such an unexpected response, Yoko Minamino also had a moment in her heart, envious of Okada Yukiko's current life.

Of the three, Yukiko Okada now works for Shinichi Iwahashi's recording studio, and Yoko Minamino, as her good friend, listens to her from time to time to hear a sentence from Iwahashi Sansan in the east and a sentence in the west of Iwahashi-san, and when I hear it, I know that I am very happy to stay at Iwahashi Shinichi.

Minako Honda's idol was also a child when she debuted, living in the house of the president of the office, eating and living with the president's daughter, and being loved like a daughter.

Only Yoko Minamino, signed in the office of composer Shunichi Tokura, was oppressed by all kinds of things, and lived a pitiful life with a lot of work and little salary.

Shunichi Tsukura is a big man in the industry, and Yoko Minamino is a little idol who is powerless to compete.

Yukiko Okada retired to go to college, and when Yoko Minamino was physically and mentally exhausted, she was infected by her, and even considered retiring at the end of her contract. But the idea was quickly dispelled.

Compared to Yukiko Okada, her personality is already stronger and more stubborn. Faced with the high pressure of the entertainment industry, Yoko Minamino was unwilling to choose to quit because she encountered a bad firm.

On the other hand, Shunichi Tsukura took advantage of her lack of involvement in the world to take out a loan from the bank in her name and invest in real estate by himself. This is not only to make a profit from her, but also to use this trick to press Yoko Minamino to the office.

With the power of Shunichi Tsukura in the industry, as long as he speaks, Yoko Minamino will only be banned by the music industry. The music industry has no sense of existence, let alone expect the film and television industry to take her in.

The job is gone, but the debt borrowed in her name will always exist, and she can't even retire properly.

Once you tear your face with the firm, you will most likely be knocked into the abyss.

Yoko Minamino was still a child when she signed the contract, and she didn't think that she would become popular one day, and the contract was signed unclearly, until last year, when the relationship with Toshiichi Tsukura completely deteriorated and she began to plan to change jobs, and she didn't know how she was in a situation where she couldn't advance or retreat.

But even in the face of such a predicament, when she came out to play, Yoko Minamino did not reveal a trace of gloom.

......

The three girls walked out of the café where they had agreed to meet and went to eat. Tonight's arrangement is to go to dinner first, sing and eat after eating, and finally go to Kugai Disco on the shore to dance.

Yoko Minamino hadn't been out with Yukiko Okada for a while, so she agreed in advance that she would spend the night with her tonight. Coming out of the disco, the two of them said goodbye to Minako Honda.

"I bought a new cute bed sheet, yoko-chan. ”

Both girls were reluctant to take a taxi and walked to the station. Yukiko Okada said to her, "Wait a minute, go back and take it out." ”

"Hmm!" Yoko Minamino nodded.

She agreed to come down and look at Yukiko Okada's carefree face.

Back at the apartment, Yukiko Okada finds her bath towel and pajamas for her. Yoko Minamino went to the bathroom, and when she came out of the shower, she saw Yukiko Okada on the phone.

“...... Iwahashi-san bought a lot of dry spices, and I didn't expect him to be so good at cooking. Yukiko Okada was on the other end of the phone, happily talking about Iwahashi-san.

"Uh-huh. ”

I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone, Yukiko Okada nodded again and again. After saying a few more words, I put down the phone and saw Yoko Minamino.

"It's already washed. Yoko Minamino said.

Yukiko Okada answered, picked up her bath towel and pajamas, and went into the bathroom. Yoko Minamino waited outside alone, turned on the TV, and changed the channel aimlessly.

Before going to bed, Yukiko Okada took out the "cute sheets" and the two girls made the bed together. Yoko Minamino smoothed the wrinkles of the sheets and suddenly asked, "What kind of person is that Iwahashi-san?"

......

On Saturday night, one side of the show was a show in Tokyo, and the other side of Tokyo was a tour of ZARD.

As the tour began, ZARD's performances have become more and more sophisticated, and the reputation of this tour has been increasing in the Tokyo area, and the popularity of the debut single has been a big hit, so it is a bit hard to get a ticket for the current performance.

Sachiko Kamaike has become more and more comfortable on stage, and she has probably mastered how to communicate with the audience, with three teammates on stage to assist, and Haruko Akamatsu, the "fifth member of the band", to assist offstage, she has made rapid progress.

She's not a very confident person, so it's not an illusion that even she thinks she's improved.

The more she felt her progress, the more Sachiko Kamaike couldn't help but think about one thing, wondering when Shinichi Iwahashi would come to see the band's performance.

Saturday's evening performance was also a great success.

Back backstage, follow the band's producer to have a summary meeting with them, and when the summary is over, we go to have a supper together.

After the high-intensity performance, the members were hungry, and Sachiko Kamaike was no exception. The work intensity is high, even if you ignore the body management, and go to eat supper after the performance, it has no effect on the figure.

After not being a model, Sachiko Kamaike weighed five kilograms. But as the tour began, the weight dropped slightly.

Leaving the LIVEHOUSE, Haruko Akamatsu looked around and remembered something.

"It's not far from the store opened by Iwahashi-san. ”

She started talking, and Tatsuya Hirakawa replied, "I've never been there." ”

The other two musicians also said "no".

"According to Kuribayashi, the equipment used in the store has a first-class performance. Tatsuya Hirakawa relayed Seiichiro Kuribayashi's description. In addition to working at a production company, Seiichiro Kuribayashi also formed a band of his own and occasionally performed in the underground music scene.

"The next time I see Iwahashi-san, tell him that let's put on a show. ”

Tomohisa Kawazoe proposed, in exchange for the approval of his teammates. Sachiko Kamaike didn't answer—there was no enthusiastic response, to be exact, but she thought so in her heart.

After the performance, there was a summary meeting, it was not early, and there were few shops to choose from.

The group went to a nearby restaurant that was open 24 hours a day and ordered something each. At this time, the store is deserted, and the TV is at its busiest.

However, when they were all seated, they overshadowed the television.

The ordered items were delivered, and as soon as I started to enjoy them, there was a commotion in front of the store.
