After the live broadcast ended, the rain continued for a day, and Yu Murakami and Mizurai walked to the nearby platform with an umbrella.

"Murakami-san, look."

"What?" Murakami looked in the direction that Mizurai was pointing and didn't find anything noteworthy.

"O streets! Rain-swept streets! It's very clean! ”

Mizurai's tone was full of surprise, as if he had found a large watermelon hidden in the vines.

"In this way, it is indeed a lot cleaner. But it's not a good thing to be happy about, is it? Yu Murakami said.

Mizulai Qi laughed twice and said happily: "I've been thinking about it for a long time to take a walk on the rainy street with Murakami-san. ”

Yu Murakami nodded and smiled: "This is indeed a thing to be happy about." ”

Suddenly, Mizuraiki put away the umbrella, and his petite body got into Murakami's arms, and put his right hand on his right shoulder.

"Hold me for a while." She said.

Yu Murakami looked at the ** leaning on his arms, and the back of his neck looming in his hair, there was a different kind of temptation in the night.

Even if I didn't put it on my face, I already knew that it was fragrant, and the skin was bony and soft—it was the back of the neck that was full of temptation.

However, Yu Murakami said, "Not right now. ”

"I know. You've already said that you won't do intimate things until you make up your mind, but now at night, with no one around, it's always okay to hug me secretly. I've been angry all day today, and it's all caused by Murakami-san. ”

The two were in the rain, under umbrellas, hugging each other.

Shui Laiqi's body was soft and warm, because she was close, and when she took a deep breath, she could smell the faint smell of a rainy day in her hair.

"Hmm-" Mizulai moaned in satisfaction, "it's comfortable." If you push harder, it doesn't matter if you break my waist. ”

"I can't bear it."

The heat hit her ears, and Shui Laiqi felt itchy, and her face rubbed in Murakami's arms.

"I like you so much."

Hearing Mizurai's whispered but firm confession, Yu Murakami agreed to her request and hugged her harder.

It was a dimly lit path, and the light from the street lamps was dim, and you could barely see the rose vines crawling out of the yard on the wall.

By mid-April, beautiful roses will be produced.

In the distance, the sound of cars moving fast and their wheels crushing the rain.

I don't know how long it took to do this.

"I really want it to end like this today, and I don't want time to go anymore." Mizurai took a deep breath greedily and reluctantly left Yu Murakami's arms.

The two of them strolled through the streets of Tokyo at night, and just like that, they were satisfied with each other.

Take the escalator to the station lobby, and before getting on the train, Mizurai stands on the platform and waves to Murakami.

"Good night today. See you tomorrow. ”

"Good night. See you tomorrow. ”

The tram drove away with Mizurachi, and Yu Murakami's thoughts gradually calmed down.

Things were even more troublesome, he thought as he looked at the railroad tracks that stretched into the depths of darkness.

After seeing off the water and praying, Murakami took the last train back to Sakuraso.

At this point in time, the carriage was empty, and he sat by the door, holding a copy of the evening newspaper bought at the station.

It's too short to just hug each other and do nothing, and that long time passes.

Einstein's theory of relativity?

If he could, hopefully there would be a more surreal explanation, so that he wouldn't have to be as he is now—he must be in distress after the sweetness.

Back at Sakuraso, Murakami went into the bathroom to take a shower, and after washing off the smell of alcohol and rain, he was refreshed.

I took a bottle of Hokkaido milk from the kitchen fridge and walked into the living room while drinking it, and the other four were still chatting and looking at the table book.

Because of the peculiarities of their work, voice actors generally sleep late. I can sleep in the morning, and I am still talking in the studio at 10 or 11 o'clock at night.

Sipping milk, Murakami waited for them to ask about the title.

Nakano spoke, "Murakami-kun, come over to me and tell me what's going on?" ’

Changed to Sakura, 'What the hell is going on with you?' Is it okay to call the name casually? If Onishi agrees, you call it? Are you a shameless man who climbs up the pole? ’

Higashiyama's words, 'Huh? Is Onishi coming too? No, I'm afraid it won't be so straightforward, but ......

While he was rambling to think about it, someone pushed him, and he looked down.

It was a delicate foot, and along this foot, you could see a pair of slender and well-proportioned legs, and at the end was a pair of short shorts, and the belly button was tied with a bow with a rope.

Suzune Sakura sat on a chair in the Japanese room with her right leg bent and her left leg resting on his waist.

"Murakami, come here."

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"Look at this comic."

Is it a manga about salutation? Guessing this in his heart, Yu Murakami took the manga.

"Kaguya-sama wants me to confess ~The love mind battle of geniuses~"

Yu Murakami opened the manga and read a few pages, it was a romantic comedy genre.

The heroine and the male protagonist like each other, but they both have very high self-esteem, and they change each other's methods to make each other confess, and at the same time avoid each other's means of making themselves confess.

In addition, the heroine is a young lady from a rich family, and the male protagonist is from a poor family, and she sits in the position of president of the student union by herself, and is admired by all the teachers and students of the school.

Miss of the Sakura family...... The president of the office from a poor family......

Skip the salutation** and directly imply that you confess to her?

"How?"

Murakami came back to his senses, looked at Suzune Sakura, and took off her makeup, making her facial features slightly weaker, but her eyes were brighter than usual, full of anticipation.

"Not bad." He nodded, "It's funny." ”

"yes, yes!" Miss Sakura laughed happily.

Next, it's time to ask yourself: What would you do if Murakami were a [Silver Imperial Touri]?

Yu Murakami thought quickly, one idea, two ideas, three ideas...... Then compare the advantages and disadvantages and synthesize each other......

"How about animating it?"

“...... What did you say? ”

"'Swinging Travel' is almost over, aren't you going to continue to invest in animation?" Miss Sakura's white dangling little finger pointed at the manga in Murakami's hand: "It's definitely going to be hot, this!" ”

Looking at her expression, which is determined, excited, and like a TV contracted salesman - if you don't sign, you will suffer a big loss, and Murakami Yu doesn't know what to say.

What does that mean exactly?

"Trust me~~" Miss Sakura began to be coquettish.

"I've been studying with my father for a while~"

"Remember the last time? I signed the documents for you, do you see that the firm is now bigger? How majestic you are as president~~"

"You're making a lot of money now, my father said that keeping money in the bank is the most wasteful behavior, how about investing in this comic~~"

"Anyway, you have to continue to invest.,I feel like this comic is not bad.,Just invest in it~~"

"And you see,This comic just started to be serialized last year.,You should be able to buy the copyright for very little money~~"

"Whew-" You Mubi touched her little shoulder and felt a chill.

Ai Nakano smiled and said, "Does Suzune like this manga so much?" ”

"Murakami-kun, meet her!" Higashiyama nodded and assumed the posture of the captain who gave the order.

Looking at Miss Sakura who {I'll cry if you don't agree}, Yu Murakami understood that she was indeed here to attract investment.

When it comes to falling in love, Miss Sakura doesn't dare to be coquettish in front of so many people.

"It's okay to invest....."

"Really?!"

“...... However, the voice actor can't be named directly like my own manga, and you have to go through an audition session. ”

"Of course! Strict selection by all means! Choose the sound that suits you best! ”

"Do you know the original author?" Yu Murakami frowned slightly, looking at Miss Sakura's excited little face.

Miss Sakura was stunned for a moment, and shook her head childishly: "I only read manga, and I haven't paid attention to who the original author is." ”

"You really like this comic?" Yu Murakami turned the title page of the manga with a clatter.

"Partial."

"What about the rest?"

"I want you to make money." Miss Sakura has a {I'm good for you} expression on her face.

Falsehood.

"Okay, tomorrow I'll have someone go to Shueisha and talk to the original author."

“Yes！” Miss Sakura waved her hand vigorously.

What exactly does she want to do? Yu Murakami looked at the cover of the manga and couldn't figure it out.

As a result, Yu Murakami drank the milk and his hair was dry, and after reading the first volume of "Miss Kaguya Wants Me to Confess", no one asked him about his title.

Dongshan and You Mubi practiced with a script, occasionally joking, saying a few lines that were either funny or numb in secondary school;

Ai Nakano concentrated on reading the table book, occasionally getting up and hugging [Xingxing], who was squatting by the window and watching the rain, to her knees;

Miss Sakura leaned back on the Japanese-style chair, her slender legs resting on nothing, and she hummed softly while watching the stand.

Contrary to Mizurai, the rest of the people didn't care at all about him calling Onishi Saori.

Is it because Mizurai and Saori Onishi are best friends, so there is a comparison mentality? Or is it just because she's more jealous and possessive?

But it is impossible for others not to eat vinegar at all...... What the hell is going on......

Yu Murakami's consciousness became more and more blurred, and he didn't understand it, so he fell asleep in the sound of rain.

The next morning, Yu Murakami asked someone to go to the elite club to talk about the manga adaptation of "Miss Kaguya Wants Me to Confess".

Although the other party wondered how someone could take a fancy to this comic that had just been serialized not long ago, someone paid for the animation to help promote the original work, so naturally they couldn't ask for it.

Shueisha also symbolically contributed some money to join the production committee.

At noon, Nobuhiro Osawa had dinner with Yu Murakami at a small restaurant in Ginza.

Nobuhiro Osawa became the president of "Sword Art Online", and now he has invested in "Ground Fault", and places like Ginza have become places for daily consumption.

"Long time no see."

The two raised their beer glasses and touched them.

"What have you been up to lately?" Nobuhiro Osawa poured a sip of beer as if he was thirsty.

"I'm busy with animation." Yu Murakami picked up a piece of yellow lion fish sashimi, "You also know "Swaying Travel", today I talked about another comic. This fish is almost meaningless, it's already March, and the weather is not cold enough. ”

The chef gave a thumbs up.

Nobuhiro Osawa shrugged indifferently, "I can't make a difference anyway." Do you want me to throw some money at you? ”

"Not afraid of losing money?"

"How can an investment be profitable all the time? And I can't make a lot of money even if I am afraid of losing money. ”

"Makes sense, thank you very much." Yu Murakami nodded.

After saying this, Nobuhiro Osawa suddenly regretted it a little and proposed: "I'll go to Sonyla to invest and share the risk, anyway, they have money." ”

Speaking of Sony, Yu Murakami remembered one thing: "Sword · When does Ali start? ”

"That's what I'm looking for you today." Nobuhiro Osawa said, "At the beginning of April, the "Spring Festival" will be held at [Shock Bunko], and the news of animation will be announced at that time. ”

Yu Murakami asked: "Kawahara said that he wanted Ai Nakano to dub [Alice], did you tell the production team about this?" ”

"How can you not say it! Keep mentioning it! I'm annoyed by him! What else to say is written a lot of interesting plots, and the heart of the animation is very urgent. I also assured Sony: the topic is absolutely explosive, and the discs and peripherals are definitely a big hit. You say that he is a light family, where does he get his self-confidence? ”

"And then?" Yu Murakami took a sip of beer and said with a smile.

"No way, Sony agreed."

"Animated? Or is Ai Nakano dubbing [Alice]? ”

"They all agreed. Sony likes Kawahara, a middle-aged man! ”

Nobuhiro Osawa rolled the fish in soy sauce and swallowed it in his mouth, eating it quite boldly.

"Agreed." Yu Murakami nodded.

"By the way, Murakami, the "Sword" stage of "Spring Festival" is attended by you and Nakano. Over there in "Wrong Place" is you, the little girl who prayed for water, and Saori Onishi, and Haruka Chisuga. ”

"Why aren't there male voice actors?"

"Hahaha!" Nobuhiro Osawa wiped his mouth with a napkin and laughed.

Then he teased: "I also watched the live broadcast of the theatrical version of "Wrong Ground" yesterday, and Shui Lai prayed that little girl liked you? ”

Murakami nodded briskly.

"I really envy you, when I was young, I could only find a bar girl in a small bar in Shinjuku, but now that I have money, I just change to a barmaid in a high-end nightclub in Ginza."

"That's not bad."

"It's good, compared to most people. But it's far worse than you, although the essence of a woman is not much different, but spending money or not, and engaging in a profession, the stimulation that women give people is also different. ”

"Hmm."

"Ordinary women may not be as good as women in Ginza, but what kind of person is Mizurai? An idol with hundreds of thousands of fans. She's doing this to you in the live broadcast, as a man, it's cool, right? ”

It is worthy of an old man who has been mixed in Shinjuku and Ginza, and he has a lot of knowledge about both sexes.

When Shimazaki Nobunaga and the others get old, maybe they will become like this.

"It's not that interesting." Yu Murakami shook his head.

"You don't like water prayers? Or did her fans hack you? Nobuhiro Nakazawa asked curiously.

Yu Murakami refilled his beer glass, "She's not the only idol who likes me." ”

Nobuhiro Osawa was stunned when he ate something, and it took a long time before he spoke:

"You guy! Why hasn't it been sunk into Tokyo Bay? ”

"If it goes on like this, it's possible."

"But I'm liked by several female idols, no wonder you're worried like this."

"Do I look worried?" Yu Murakami asked.

"You're not a person who cares about the quality of the dishes, in 14 years, the two of us ate pork chop rice, 800 yen, and you still boasted that it tasted good, but now you even care about the quality of the yellow lion fish."

Yu Murakami didn't care about these details, and the matter of the yellow lion fish was just casually said, but he really didn't feel as free as he was at that time.

But when he thought about it, it was true that there were many troubles, but there were also many sweet things.

But others don't say for the time being, whether he is free or not is up to him, it is up to him to decide, so in this way, it doesn't matter if he is free or not.

Nobuhiro Osawa continued: "The other day I had a drink with the director of a first-class publishing house, and he showed me that there were three other women outside and several children.

It stands to reason that your status is not higher than that of this director, but it is not lower than him, and there are also a few women out there, although excessive, but also reasonable.

But the three women of the family are all ordinary women, not female idols.

Like female idols, especially female idols like Shui Laiqi who are young and popular on their own strength, their exclusivity and self-esteem are stronger than men. It's hard to get them to be with a man at the same time. ”

"It's interesting, go on."

"If you want them to follow you, one, you have to be physically satisfied, and looks and sex are important."

"You're still realistic."

"Is it still false?" Nobuhiro Osawa ignored him and continued: "Second, the money can't be less, and the career can't be bad. ”

"That's not enough, is it?"

"Of course. Even if it's together, do you want to buy a house for everyone? To have children or not to have children? How much does each person give? There are more problems. ”

"Is there a way?"

"That's your business, what can I do? The women I coax are very simple, they only need two things: sweet words, and money. ”

"That's right."

Speaking of this, Nobuhiro Osawa looked at Yu Murakami very incomprehensibly:

"I said, what do you have to do with these troublesome female idols? With your identity, handsomeness, and money, how many women don't? ”

Murakami said with a smile: "That's why I chose what I like." ”

"There's a lot more beautiful than them, right? There are countless people who are in good shape! Nobuhiro Osawa couldn't understand his thoughts.

"If a woman only looks at whether she is beautiful or not, and whether she has a good figure, isn't it too boring? I like their personalities the most. Pretty is important, but that's secondary. ”

Nobuhiro Osawa shook his head and concluded: "It's tethered, it's hopeless, you." It's a pity to waste such good conditions, it's a pity. ”

It's really tethered, not only them, but also Yu Murakami himself.

We could have lived a simpler and easier life, but we had to get stuck in the quagmire together.

But there's nothing to be sorry for. It's just that everyone's pursuit is different.

After separating from Nobuhiro Osawa, Yu Murakami called Ai Nakano on the way to the office.

"It's rare, what's the matter?"

The phone was immediately connected, and in addition to the voice of Ai Nakano, the voice of the waiter leading the customer into the store could be faintly heard.

"I'm here to tell you good news."

There was laughter from the other side.

"Murakami-kun is in a good mood today, not only did he take the initiative to call Aiyi, but he also made a joke."

"Chinatsu! I'm sorry, Murakami-kun, you continued. ”

""Sword Art Online" Kawahara recommended you to Sony, and just now Nobuhiro Osawa told me that [Alice] has decided to let you match."

The opposite side instantly became lively, except for Chixia Akasaki, there were other women, and everyone was congratulating Ai Nakano.

"Really?" Ai Nakano's voice came from the noise.

"Am I going to lie to you?"

"Great! And it's Alice! I've heard that she's almost the main character! Murakami-kun, please thank Kawahara-sensei and Osawa-san for me! ”

"Okay."

"Looks like I'm going to start watching Sword from scratch tonight! Murakami-kun, you also bought a full set, I can have a sum of money left! ”

"So, you have to thank me too."

"I'm in charge, I'll give you my clothes!" It's Chinatsu Akasaki again.

There was a commotion on the other side, and after a while, Ai Nakano got her phone back.

"These people really are." She smiled and complained, "But Murakami-kun, you're really in a good mood today, are you happy for me?" ”

"How could it. "Miss Kaguya Wants Me to Confess" is going well, not only winning the copyright, but also attracting investors. ”

"That's why. Hung up. ”

"Hey."

The phone hung up amid Ai Nakano's chuckle.
