"Good night."
Having finally waited for the results of his new work, Kurosawa Hikaru was about to go to bed and sent a greeting to Ninomiya Chizuru.
Not only her, but also Yuki and Mirai.
"Good night."
Although he did not receive a response to his previous inquiry, perhaps due to the influence of that incident, Ninomiya Chizuru replied to him.
“It still works.”
They said good night to each other, and seeing this result, Kurosawa Mitsuru couldn't help but nodded.
As Ms. Runa said, sometimes you have to fight poison with poison and use strong medicine.
The progress may be slow, but the progress bar is still clearly visible.
From reading the messages but not replying at the beginning, to actively sending him good night, to now saying good night to each other.
He could feel that Miss Ninomiya's attitude was changing.
"Can we sign the contract tomorrow?"
Kurosawa Hikaru held the phone, swiped it for a while, looked at it repeatedly, and then sent a message to Igarashi Runa.
"Okay, I'll contact you when I'm done."
Soon, the message received a reply.
They didn't chat for too long because they had to meet again tomorrow.
…
At 9 o'clock in the morning, Kurosawa Mitsuru received the message and came to the door of the apartment.
But he is not alone, Ichinose Yuki is also with him.
"Brother Guang, after signing the contract today, will I officially become a model?"
While waiting, Ichinose Yuki asked nervously.
Maybe it is something that has been long awaited, but when something really happens, people will feel uneasy, worrying that something might go wrong.
"yes."
Seeing her nervous look, Kurosawa Hikaru smiled.
"I'm going to meet Ms. Igarashi later. How should I greet her?"
Seeing how relaxed he was, Ichinose Yuki also asked.
"Just say hello normally, just like you did before. You don't have to worry about what happened at the Budokan that day. She won't hate you, and it won't affect your cooperation."
Hearing this question, Kurosawa Mitsuru also comforted him.
"Really?"
"Weren't you full of enthusiasm before? Are you scared now?"
Noticing that she was a little timid, Kurosawa Hikaru teased.
This girl seemed so courageous before, she even took the initiative to ask about signing with the agency and reminded him to do it.
But when the time came, his attitude changed drastically.
"I'm not scared... Because Ms. Igarashi and Ms. Ninomiya seem to have a good relationship."
Ichinose Yuki shook her head and sighed.
Rather than saying she was afraid, it would be better to say that she felt guilty... She also contributed to Miss Ninomiya's collapse and death that day.
"Their relationship is not just ordinary good. They have been best friends and have known each other for more than 20 years." Kurosawa Mitsuru nodded slightly and affirmed.
"You're still scaring me." Realizing this friendship, Yuki Ichinose reached out and gently hit him, saying coquettishly.
"Hahaha."
Seeing her anxious, Kurosawa Mitsuru couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Happy emotions and a relaxed state are contagious. Yuki Ichinose found that he didn't take the things that bothered her to heart at all, and she gradually calmed down.
Not long after, a car drove up and stopped in front of them.
"Get in the car."
The car window was rolled down, and Igarashi Runa glanced at the two people and said.
Hearing this, both of them nodded and got into the back seat of the car together.
As soon as they were seated, the car started off.
"It's done so quickly?"
Sitting in the back seat, Kurosawa Mitsuru also spoke.
If you want to make the atmosphere less awkward, speaking is the best way.
"I took the time to draw up a contract yesterday. It's similar to yours and it's not difficult to do."
"Good morning, Ms. Igarashi."
At the same time, Ichinose Yuki still greeted her a little nervously.
"Good morning... You're together so early, are you living together?"
Holding the steering wheel, Igarashi Runa looked through the rearview mirror and saw her sweet, yet nervous, youthful, and cute appearance. She responded to the greeting and took the opportunity to ask.
Kurosawa didn't go to bed until after 12 o'clock last night. According to the standard sleeping time of eight hours, he should have just woken up at this time.
But Miss Ichinose is with Kurosawa, and it's really hard not to think too much.
"We are not living together. I just woke up and read the messages. Brother Guang asked me to come find him, so we are together so early."
In response to this question, Ichinose Yuki hurriedly explained.
"I'm not questioning you, don't be so nervous."
Upon hearing this answer, Igarashi Runa felt relieved and comforted him.
"oh oh."
Ichinose Yuki reacted and nodded.
"After we go to the office and sign the contract for her, do you have any plans?"
Seeing that their conversation was harmonious and the atmosphere was not awkward, Kurosawa Mitsuru asked at the right time.
"No plans for now. After Flight of the Bumblebee became a big hit yesterday, many people came to me to discuss business cooperation, but I pushed them all to this afternoon."
"Are you busy this afternoon?"
"Yes, it's the same as before. I'll go talk to them about the planning and contract first, and then discuss it with you after I've drawn up and screened the projects."
"OK."
Kurosawa Hikaru didn't know how long it would take to talk to someone about this, but he could only leave it all to her.
It wasn't long before they arrived at their destination.
"Um?"
However, just when Igarashi Runa was using the remote control to open the electric rolling door of the garage as usual, a surprising sound was heard.
"What's wrong?"
Kurosawa Hikaru, who was sitting in the back seat, noticed her strange reaction.
"Someone is blocking the road."
Igarashi Runa took a deep breath and felt a little headache.
Upon learning of this, Kurosawa Mitsuru and Ichinose Yuki, who were sitting in the back seat, became curious and looked through the gap between the center console and the front and rear seats toward the front window.
At the door of the garage, there was a pink-haired woman wearing sunglasses and a windbreaker, whose face could not be seen clearly.
She was stepping in and out, right to the center of the garage door, completely blocking the way.
"Who is this?"
Seeing this scene, Kurosawa Mitsuru couldn't help but ask.
Although I didn't know him, I could feel that the other party was deliberately blocking my way.
"Ms. Fujiwara."
Igarashi Runa sat in the driver's seat, looking at the figure, feeling a little ashamed and having a headache.
"Fujiwara Rikka? What is she doing?"
Hearing this name, Kurosawa Mitsuru came to his senses and looked at him again.
"I don't know either."
Igarashi Runa was very conflicted and felt guilty towards others, as if she was a scumbag who seduced and then abandoned her.
"Fujiwara Rikka? Is she the super popular singer?"
Yuki Ichinose also had an impression of this name and was very surprised.
"It's the Fujiwara Rikka you know... What should we do now? She's blocking the road and the car can't park."
Kurosawa Hikaru confirmed her doubts and told her the problem.
Although they are parked outside the garage now and have not blocked the road, this may not be the case if it takes longer.
"I have no idea."
When Igarashi Runa saw her suddenly appear, she didn't know how to face her for a moment.
After all, it was she who brought Fujiwara Rikka to the Phantom Star Agency. However, when Rikka's career was at its peak, she, her agent, left the agency, leaving her alone in the agency.
"Just drive over and hit her."
Kurosawa Hikaru noticed her embarrassment and headache and suggested.
"How can you do that?"
"Brother Guang, it's illegal to hit someone with your car."
The words were so shocking that both Igarashi Runa and Ichinose Yuki were frightened.
"I'm just kidding. What I mean is that if I drive the car over, she should move aside or retreat to the garage. Even if she has something to say, she should wait until the door is closed."
Faced with the two people's excitement, Kurosawa Mitsuru raised his hands in surrender and explained.
Igarashi Runa thought about this suggestion and felt it made sense, so she released the brakes and let the car move slowly forward.
However, Fujiwara Rikka remained standing at the door of the garage without moving, and did not retreat even when she saw the car getting closer.
"Rikka, if you have anything to say, let's go in first."
Seeing that she had a stubborn and strong character, Igarashi Runa didn't dare to really bump into her, so she had to lower the car window and speak.
Hearing this, Fujiwara Rika, who was blocking the way, nodded slightly, then turned and walked into the garage.
Finally, the road was cleared and Igarashi Runa slowly drove the car into the garage.
After the car was parked, the rolling door was slowly lowered.
When it was completely in position, Igarashi Runa gritted her teeth and got out of the car.
"Rikka, long time no see."
No longer hiding in the car, but face to face, Igarashi Runa looked at the pink-haired girl in front of her, feeling a little guilty, and greeted her with a forced smile on her face.
"Sister Runa, why didn't you answer my call yesterday?"
Fujiwara Rikka was wearing a pair of sunglasses, so her full face couldn't be seen clearly, but even so, her nose and lips that were exposed were still very beautiful.
"There were too many calls yesterday, so I didn't pay attention."
Igarashi Runa couldn't see her eyes, but she could sense her grievance and quickly explained.
"With your ability, it's impossible for you to miss any call."
However, Fujiwara Rikka didn't buy it.
As a gold medal agent, Sister Runa's sharp vision and efficiency are obvious to all.
"It really wasn't possible before... but there were so many calls yesterday."
Igarashi Runa naturally knew that with her ability, it was impossible for her to miss the call, but things are different now.
God knows, she received such a terrible phone bombardment yesterday... Almost as soon as she finished a call, she made excuses and postponed it to talk later, and another call came in.
"Do you think that Master Lingshi can attract more clients than all the artists you were responsible for before? All of them, including me, are not as good as him alone."
Hearing this, Fujiwara Rikka was a little stunned, and then asked sourly.
"I didn't say that."
Upon hearing this, Igarashi Runa quickly denied it.
"But that's what you mean."
Fujiwara Rika took a step forward, feeling very unwilling and aggrieved. Tears wet her eyes and slid down her delicate skin from under her sunglasses.
Just for a short period of time, Runa-san directly abandoned the artists she had discovered before, including her.
"I… "
Seeing her tears, Igarashi Ryunai, who had experienced such a situation before, was immediately panicked and didn't know what to say.
At the same time, the quiet car moved, the door was opened, and a person walked out.
The person who got off the bus was Kurosawa Hikaru.
"Hi."
As he stepped down onto the ground, Kurosawa Mitsuru faced the gazes of the two people without any fear. He calmly raised his hand and greeted them.
