Chapter 49: New Jobs
"Alright, now...... How about your own hunch?"
Sitting in a secluded corner of Sakura's coffee house, Sakurako was looking at Reina with a mysterious expression, and it should be clear from the smile on her face that her grades should be good.
"Okay, Sakurako-sama, just tell me quickly!
"Haha...... It's really completely unexpected, I think that with your current level, you definitely have the strength to get into Keio Girls' High School, although this time it is only the results of the mock exam, but I think the cram school exam may be more difficult than the real Keio Girls' High School!"
As soon as Sakurako finished speaking, she turned her laptop to Reina, and then pointed to the revision suggestions given on the cram school website, and happily congratulated Reina.
"Ah...... Now, I'm finally safe to participate in the promotional activities for Survival Battle......"
"Eh, is it going to be released so soon? Didn't you mean Christmas?"
"Yes, that's what Mr. Rodriguez told me before I came back. But...... It is said that the producers felt that the competition for the Christmas schedule was too fierce, so they brought the schedule forward to Thanksgiving!
"Huh...... I'm afraid you'll have to leave for a lot of days this time!"
"Yes, but the thought of the god of fate finally favored me once, anyway...... I don't want to miss out on this amazing opportunity......"
Seeing Reina, who had not been seen for nearly a year but suddenly became mature, Sakurako's eyes were filled with admiration in addition to being happy for her friend. To know...... Reina has indeed experienced a lot of difficulties along the way.
"By the way, Sakurako-san, I heard that you went to the Komaba Festival at the University of Tokyo with Mr. Kono last time, how about it...... Do you think Mr. Kono is also a worthy partner?"
"Ah...... You actually know, it must have been told to you by Miko!"
"Yes, it's rare for a man to ask you out alone, of course I'm curious! Tell me! Is there anything to look forward to!"
"This? Of course...... We're just going back together as alumni to reminisce about our time at the University of Tokyo. Speaking of which, I was so focused on making money that I didn't experience the happy times of college at all! This time, it really made up for a lot of my regrets back then!"
"Huh...... Really? Actually...... Mr. Kono is not bad, either! As both an alumnus of yours and an enviable diplomat, shouldn't such a man be very thin and welcoming?"
"Oh...... Looks like you know a lot...... It won't be ...... Someone's been dating someone lately!"
"Where...... What a thing!"
Seeing Reina's denial when she was questioned by herself, Sakurako knew that she must have guessed correctly.
"So...... In other words...... Sure enough, there is a person to date? haha...... How about it, do you want to leak it to me, I can help you refer to it!"
"Yes...... I met in cram school...... Wait a minute, why is it suddenly that you are asking me a question, and you haven't answered my question yet!"
"Haha...... For the sake of being so honest with me, I'll reveal to you a little bit about my criteria for choosing a mate!"
"First of all...... What kind of man do you think a woman needs to find for a woman who runs her own business? After all, at my age, if I really decide who I want to date, I have to think about getting married. And in this country, I am afraid that few men can accept that their wives continue to work after marriage......! I'm afraid I can't meet the needs of office workers for their wives, after all, most men will feel angry when they come home from a hard day's work and see that their wives are still busy with their own things!"
"Huh...... If you do get married, it will be a shame for Sakura-no-Sato!"
"But...... None of the above applies to people you really like. So...... I can only stay here now and wait for the god of fate to take care of me!"
"Forget it...... How about not talking about this topic...... Do you have any gifts you want when I get back?"
"Can I speak...... After Reina-chan becomes a big star, don't you forget my little coffee shop?...... If there are popular Hollywood actresses and popular Japanese drama actresses in the future to call Sakurano Sakura, I will really wake up laughing in my dreams!"
……
Hearing Sakurako's slightly joking remarks, Reina felt a little embarrassed. Right now...... She just hopes that the box office of the movie she starred in for the first time won't be too bad......! With Mr. Rodriguez's assurance, I believe it won't be sent there!
While Sakurako and Reina were chatting, several men in professional clothes suddenly walked into the store, and then asked the employees in the store:
"I'm sorry, but is Miss Sakurako Sakurai here now?"
"Hey, you're ......"
"We're from NHK TV not far from here, so if you can, can we meet with Sakurako-san?"
"Hey, please come with me over here!"
Hearing that someone was looking for her, Sakurako quickly got up and said sorry to Reina, and then greeted the other party.
……
While Reina is looking forward to the next campaign, Akemi is still busy with her work. Although the scandal of the previous incident almost made Akemi have to end her acting career. However, in the end, the Prime Minister's support on social media made Akemi's popularity soar. Because of this, Akemi was blessed with an unexpected new job.
"An invitation to the heroine of the NHK morning drama?"
"Hey, we're actually currently working on a script, but I think you'll be interested in this show......"
"So...... What kind of story is it telling? If it was a morning drama, I'm afraid I would have spent more than half a year on filming!"
Actually, our show is mainly about your good friend...... The story of Miss Sakurako Kazui......"
"Sakurako-san, I'...... I heard you right!"
"Yes, in fact, you may not know it, but the planner of our drama is a frequent customer of Sakura-no-Sato, and it can be said that he has been a big fan of Sakura-no-Sato since the opening of Sakura-no-Sato. On top of that, I also like Sakura-no-Sato coffee. Especially a while ago, we were surprised to learn that Miss Sakurako won the World Barista Championship this year. From then on, I felt that such a true and inspirational story was too suitable to be transformed into a morning drama. So...... When thinking about the heroine, you were the first thing that came to mind!"
"Huh...... But...... Why haven't I heard Sakurako talk about it?"
"Our colleague should be communicating with Sakurako right now to get her permission. But...... Because I'm worried about your schedule, ...... We would like to confirm with you first, if we get the rights to adapt, would you like to play the role of Sakurako-sama?"
