Wednesday, 4 p.m.
As soon as Kurosawa Mitsuru walked out of the school gate, he saw a familiar car parked on the side of the road.
He was traveling alone today because Yuta Miyazaki still had classes.
"Kurosawa, this way!"
Just like last time, Igarashi Runa was leaning against the car. The moment she saw him, she immediately stood up and waved enthusiastically.
It was not yet dusk and the sun was shining brightly. She was wearing a dark blue knitted bra, a pair of denim hot pants, and a half-removed blue thin windbreaker. Her round and white left shoulder and long white legs made her look very sexy and hot.
Although she is eight years older, she still looks young and beautiful, with delicate and fashionable makeup. Coupled with her warm greetings, it would be difficult for someone who doesn't know the truth not to mistake her for his girlfriend.
The two sides were some distance apart, and Kurosawa Mitsuru walked forward quickly.
"How long have you been waiting?"
Arriving in front of the car, Kurosawa Mitsuru reached out and opened the passenger door, also asking.
"It didn't take long, just a moment."
Igarashi Runa opened the driver's door and got in.
"Let's go to our company."
As she sat down and talked, she winked and gestured to the back.
Noticing this movement, Kurosawa Mitsuru looked back and saw a blue-haired beauty wearing sunglasses, a mask and a windbreaker sitting in the back seat.
Although most of her features were obscured, it was hard not to recognize her identity because of her iconic long blue hair.
"Has Miss Ninomiya arrived early?"
Seeing that she was already there, Kurosawa Hikaru was somewhat happy.
"I don't have classes in the afternoon, so I'll go check it out."
Ninomiya Chizuru nodded slightly and said calmly.
"Does it have to be so strict?" Kurosawa Mitsuru couldn't help but ask.
Of course, even if she wears sunglasses and a mask, she is still very beautiful because of her figure and temperament.
But humans are very curious creatures, and when someone covers something up, they will want to explore it.
"She was concerned about being seen with students after school, especially at the school gates."
Igarashi Runa understood this.
Although they are not dating yet, it would be hard not to be misunderstood if they were seen together after school.
"I see."
Kurosawa Hikaru thought about it and suppressed his curiosity.
Driving the car all the way in the city.
It was still early and not yet rush hour, and although there were still traffic lights, we arrived at our destination at 5 o'clock.
They entered a garage, the door of which was operated by a remote key.
"And there's a garage. Is that so luxurious?"
He opened the car door and walked straight into the house. Kurosawa Mitsuru looked around and felt a little surprised.
This garage is quite large. After parking the car, there is plenty of room for activities. It is roughly like a living room renovated into a garage.
"Because you want to be a masked artist, you have to do this for the sake of concealment... In fact, if you are sure that you will be popular, even if you don't show your face, you still need to prepare a garage to avoid being targeted as soon as you come to the agency."
Igarashi Runa got out of the car, shrugged and spread his hands.
As she spoke, she pressed the remote control key in her hand, and the electric rolling door of the garage slowly lowered.
"Let's go."
When the rolling door was completely lowered, Chizuru Ninomiya also got out of the car. She was wearing high heels and had a very tall figure. Even with sunglasses and a mask on, she still had an extraordinary aura, and she was wearing a large windbreaker.
"Ms. Ninomiya looks like a celebrity."
Seeing her actions, Kurosawa Mitsuru couldn't help but sigh.
When it comes to meticulous action, she is much more careful than herself, she is simply a star model.
"You should learn more."
Seeing this exemplary action, Igarashi Runa also said lightly.
After saying that, they started walking.
Obviously, except for Kurosawa Hikaru, this is not the first time these two people have come to this place.
Through a door, there was a corridor with a staircase at the end, and they walked directly into the door on the opposite side.
Walking into the room, Kurosawa Mitsuru also looked around.
This place is very much like a standard office, with cabinets, a water dispenser, a desk, a set of sofas and a long table. Overall, it is quite spacious.
"This is my office and also the reception room. When guests come, they will be received here. Unless I call you, try not to come near here. Just stay upstairs." Igarashi Runa explained after he finished looking around.
"No problem." Kurosawa Hikaru nodded.
The space on the first floor is actually quite large, with two empty rooms, a bathroom and a kitchen, all fully equipped.
"Is there only one office? Don't you need to recruit staff?" Going to the second floor, Kurosawa Mitsuru was a little surprised.
"If the need arises later, just vacate those two rooms and renovate them. Currently they are used as storage rooms. Our career isn't stable yet, and once we have a completely determined direction, we can outsource all the duties." Igarashi Runa pointed to an empty room nearby.
"really."
Kurosawa Hikaru thought about it and nodded.
Their business has not yet started, so there is no need to recruit workers directly. They will make plans after things stabilize.
"Your future work area will be on the second floor, and the rest area will be on the third floor." Igarashi Runa explained as they went upstairs.
"There's a third floor?"
Kurosawa Mitsuru was a little surprised. Judging from the scale, the building should be at least over 100 square meters and have three floors.
"Why else do you think the rent is so expensive? Thanks to Chizuru's funding, at this rate, you don't have to worry about your true identity being discovered."
Igarashi Runa shrugged her shoulders and she also didn't forget her best friend.
"It's still possible, such as recruiting workers in the future."
Chizuru Ninomiya is particularly concerned about her identity being exposed.
"That's indeed possible, but it's not a big problem, just take your time."
Sensing her concerns, Igarashi Runa naturally understood what was going on and comforted her.
After walking up the stairs to the second floor, Igarashi Runa began to introduce.
"This room is the staff lounge, that one is the utility room, this one is the dressing room and makeup room, the toilet, and this side is the recording studio."
After that, she started walking towards the stairs.
"Don't you want to go in and take a look?"
Kurosawa Hikaru was a little surprised to find that she was going to the third floor.
To be honest, he is already eager to try and wants to see the stage to show his talents as soon as possible.
"We'll get to the recording studio last. That's the most important step. Let's go up to the third floor first."
"There are four rooms here, yours, mine, Chizuru's, and a common room that can be used as our meeting room. There is a bathroom and toilet there."
"Are you going to live here in the future?"
Kurosawa Hikaru listened to her identification, wrote it down one by one, and was also confused.
"How is that possible? It's just to prepare a few rooms in case the business is busy and we have to work overtime. It will be too troublesome to go back late."
Igarashi Runa shook her head. What a joke. Her family bought it at such a high price, she would definitely live at home if she could.
"Indeed, this house is very well rented."
Kurosawa Hikaru thought about it and it made sense.
"I started looking for an apartment the day I quit my job. I ran so much that my legs became weak. The environment is naturally good, and the location is also very good. The subway station is a 12-minute walk away, the bus station is an eight-minute walk away, and there are various shops nearby."
Finally saying this, Igarashi Runa stood with her hands on her hips, looking very proud.
"In fact, she didn't have to run around for long because she has a wide network of contacts. She made her request and drove to eight places before choosing one."
Following her pride, Ninomiya Chizuru, who was standing next to Kurosawa Hikaru, moved a little closer and whispered.
Hearing this whisper, Kurosawa Mitsuru looked at her with some surprise and amusement.
Maybe because she was with her best friend, Miss Ninomiya actually did such a little trick to ruin other people's fun.
"We're all in the house, are you still going to wear sunglasses?"
Kurosawa Hikaru smiled and noticed that she was still wearing glasses and a mask, so he asked.
Maybe it’s because it’s a parallel world, there is no epidemic breaking out in this world.
Hearing this reminder, Ninomiya Chizuru did not say anything, but took off her glasses silently.
Wearing a mask can improve one's appearance, because as long as one has a pair of beautiful eyes, it will be a special bonus.
For someone who is already beautiful, wearing a mask adds a bit of mystery, which is an extra bonus.
As she took off her sunglasses, Chizuru Ninomiya's already cool and delicate face, because of the mask, gave people a feeling of surprise and mystery. Her eyes were captivating.
"it's beautiful."
When Kurosawa Hikaru saw her beautiful eyes, he couldn't help but admire her.
"What's so beautiful about this?"
When Ninomiya Chizuru met his affectionate eyes and listened to such sincere praise, she couldn't bear it anymore. Her face under the mask became hot, her voice lost its confidence, and she felt a little embarrassed.
Noticing that she was a little shy, Kurosawa Hikaru reacted and his face also felt a little hot.
Igarashi Runa actually heard Chizuru's whispers just now, but seeing that she had interacted with Kurosawa Hikaru, she didn't expose it.
Rather, she was very happy to see this result.
"Those rooms haven't had new beds bought yet, and they haven't been furnished yet, so they can't be lived in for the time being. Let's go downstairs."
After waiting for a while, because the atmosphere between them was very awkward and there was no further sign, Igarashi Runa simply interrupted.
Finally, after touring the house, the three of them returned to the second floor.
"Behind this door is the starting point of our career. Are you ready?"
Arriving at the double doors of the recording studio, Igarashi Runa turned around and spoke solemnly.
"I'm ready."
Passionate emotions are contagious. When Kurosawa Mitsuru heard her say this, he was cheered up.
"Put your hands up, I'll count to three, and then we'll push the door open and go in together."
Seeing his expression, Igarashi Runa smiled, put her hand on the door and greeted him.
Although it is a bit immature and childish, the sense of ritual is still necessary.
Kurosawa Hikaru and Ninomiya Chizuru looked at each other, then they reached out their hands and pressed on the door.
Three hands were pressed on the door, and because they were placed on the same flat surface, the contrast was very obvious.
Maybe because she is about 1.6 meters tall, Igarashi Runa has small hands, and with nail polish on, she looks very cute.
Chizuru Ninomiya's hands are relatively large, with slender fingers. She has no manicure, her skin is white and clean, and her nails are a little long, which is very beautiful.
As Kurosawa Hikaru looked at her, Igarashi Runa began the countdown.
"three."
"two."
"one."
“Bang!”
With a combined effort of three people, the double doors were pushed open and a step was taken.
This step is like taking a brand new step and starting a new journey in life.
